In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year. Even in winter, the weather in the southern border was not particularly cold. Li Xin only wore a single layer of clothing and a slightly thicker coat on the outside.
Even at noon when the sun was still very strong, Li Xin still needed to take off his coat.
He Beichen also knew the climate on the southern border, so he could still wear short sleeves. Sometimes when the training was too hot, he would just go shirtless. The other soldiers in the army did the same.
So he had only one request for Li Xin, that she should not take off her clothes immediately when she felt hot, as this would easily cause her to catch a cold.
Li Xin's body temperature is usually not high. Basically, she will not take off her coat unless she comes back from a walk at noon.
…
That day, when He Beichen came back, he was carrying a big bag in his hand. It looked bulging, but he carried it with ease.
"What are these?" Li Xin asked curiously, "Did grandpa give them to you? Can I open them and take a look?"
"Well... these are some winter clothes." He Beichen responded and took out the clothes inside.
First, two thick cotton coats, cotton trousers, woolen trousers, and two pairs of thick cotton shoes... After putting all these on, Li Xin could almost imagine himself wrapped up like a panda, fat and chubby.
Li Xin had spent half a warm winter on the southern border this year, so he was stunned when he saw these clothes again.
"Why prepare so many winter clothes? We don't need to wear such thick clothes here." She asked puzzledly.
It's almost the end of the year, and it doesn't feel like winter at all on the southern border. It's at most autumn.
"Aren't you going back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year? It's different over there. The weather is very cold. If you don't wear something thicker, you won't be able to bear it." He Beichen explained, taking the cotton coat and putting it on Li Xin.
The thick cotton coat was still quite warm to wear, but when Li Xin recalled the weather in his hometown from his original body's memory, he suddenly didn't want to go there for the New Year.
Not only my hometown, but also the capital is much colder than here.
Yes, after staying here for so long, Li Xin almost forgot how harsh the northern winter is!
Thinking of the weather of minus 10 to 20 degrees...
Li Xin shuddered subconsciously.
"How about next year...we should just invite our parents over to celebrate the New Year?" Li Xin quickly stopped imagining the scene in her mind. If she continued thinking about it, she would probably have to put all these clothes on now.
"That's fine." He Beichen nodded in agreement.
He didn't have any objection. As long as the family could be together, they could celebrate the New Year anywhere.
After all, his family only includes his grandfather and his young wife.
After Li Xin tried on the winter clothes and made sure that they didn't fit properly, he put them away.
"It's a pity that I'm just a scientific researcher, otherwise I could be made into a hot pack." Li Xin sweated a little after trying on clothes. She tied up her hair, which was a little too long, into a bun and put one hand on her face to fan herself.
When I return home I will stick a few of these on my body and they will definitely keep me warm!
…
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of the year, and He Beichen's vacation began.
Not many people asked for leave in the army this year because the relationship with the Kingdom of Yue was tense. Soldiers who had nothing to do stayed in the army to guard the place just in case.
"These tea leaves and mushrooms are for my in-laws. Dried mushrooms can be kept for a long time. You can take them over." He Yubo brought the prepared things and handed them to the two of them.
The tea is the best variety on this side of the border, weighing about two kilograms, all of it high quality, without even a speck of crumbs!
Mushrooms are also a specialty of the border. Many of them are only available here. They are also packed into a big bag. It can be seen that He Yubo prepared them very carefully.
"Grandpa, you're spending the New Year here alone..." Li Xin looked at how much He Yubo had prepared, and thought of how she had kidnapped He Beichen, leaving He Yubo alone.
Thinking about it... I still feel a little sad.
"There are so many soldiers from the military region here, and I'm not the only one here. You can go without worry!" He Yubo waved his hand and interrupted them without waiting for He Beichen to speak.
"Don't make me sound so pitiful!" He Yubo snorted softly, "It's not like your grandfather is alone!"
All the soldiers in the army are here with him.
"good."
He Beichen nodded slightly and stopped talking.
After Li Xin and He Beichen returned home, they began to pack their things.
Winter clothes cannot be worn here, so He Beichen packed all the clothes into the luggage a week ago. Li Xin would check the luggage every night when he came back to see if there was anything missing.
After all, the journey is long. If something is really lost, it would be a waste of money to buy it again.
"Why don't I... put all these things in the space, and only put some clothes in the luggage, which will be lighter to carry and more convenient to go out." Li Xin looked at the luggage that was getting bigger and bigger, and felt that it would be quite inconvenient to go on a long journey.
Especially during the Chinese New Year!
If they weren't worried about the space being exposed, and everyone else was carrying bags, it would look strange for the two of them to be empty-handed in the crowd. Li Xin even wanted to put all his clothes and luggage into the space.
"I can carry a bag as a cover, and pretend to take something out of the bag when I want it, and it won't arouse suspicion." The more Li Xin thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea. It would be a simple trip, and he wouldn't have to worry about losing anything.
