Entering the twelfth lunar month, Songjiang Province ushered in another cold wave from the Arctic. Amidst the raging snowstorm, the outdoor temperature dropped even lower.
The snow on the road was as much as thirty or forty feet thick. Every time people walked on the road, they would step into a pit. In some places, the snow was so thick that it was even up to the knees.
The military uniform factory closed for the holiday a few days in advance, and Yun Qiao stayed at home and did not go out again.
The heavy snow continued intermittently and lasted for more than half a month. By this time, it was already the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year was only ten days away. It was time to start preparing for the New Year.
The grocery store in the family compound doesn't sell a wide variety of items, but it's still a good place to get a big purchase during the New Year.
Yun Qiao just received a call from Zheng Yujing, saying that the company had a New Year's holiday and she was also planning to go home for the New Year this year. She wanted to ask Yun Qiao to meet in person before leaving to return the hundred yuan she had lent her when she was filming a movie.
Yun Qiao agreed of her own accord, because Zheng Yujing was also from the capital, and she also wanted to prepare some mountain products and ask Zheng Yujing to help bring them to the capital to deliver to her family.
The two hit it off immediately and made an appointment to meet at the bus station on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month.
But on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, He Tingjun had to be on duty and could not accompany Yun Qiao to the field office. He was worried that Yun Qiao would be alone and was afraid that if something happened on the way, she would not be able to handle it alone, so he wanted Yun Qiao to find someone to keep her company.
It just so happened that Yuan Jiahui, who lived next door, also wanted to go shopping. When she came to Yun Qiao's house to visit, she learned that Yun Qiao also wanted to go shopping, and the two decided to go shopping together.
.
On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, the two got up early. He Tingjun went out to work, and Yuan Jiahui's husband Qi Wu had nothing to do that day, so Qi Wu took them to the headquarters of the 10th Regiment, watched them get in the car, and then went home to look after the children.
With Yuan Jiahui as their companion, the two chatted all the way, and the time in the car did not seem unbearable.
The bus drove on the road for more than an hour and finally arrived at Xi'an.
Yun Qiao was going to the bus station to meet Zheng Yujing, but Yuan Jiahui was going to the department store to buy something, so she got off the bus early. The two agreed to meet at the bus station at 2 pm and take a bus to the base together.
When Yun Qiao arrived at the bus station by express bus, Zheng Jing had already been there for a while. She was sitting on a stone pier at the entrance of the bus station. Her position was very conspicuous, and Yun Qiao saw her as soon as he got off the bus.
"Yun Qiao, here." Zheng Yujing stood on the stone pier and waved to Yun Qiao happily.
Yun Qiao jumped off the bus and ran towards her quickly.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Zheng Jing shook her head: "No, I just arrived too."
As she spoke, she pulled out an envelope from her shoulder bag and handed it to Yun Qiao: "Here, I'll return your money. There are ten Great Unity notes in total. Count them."
"No, I trust you." Yun Qiao said with a smile, "Actually, you don't have to rush to pay me back. If you don't have the money, you can pay me back later."
Zheng Yujing finished filming in the middle of December and arrived at the company. She worked for only twenty days before the company was on holiday. When the salary was paid, she definitely would not get the full salary. In order to get a hundred yuan for her, I don't know who she borrowed money from.
Zheng Yujing said, "The crew gives me a meal allowance, and I didn't spend much money on it. Since I have it, I have to pay it back sooner rather than later. The sooner I borrow, the sooner I pay it back. It won't be hard to borrow again."
"Do you have any money left?" Yun Qiao asked her, "Have you bought your train ticket to Beijing?"
"Not yet." Zheng Yujing replied, "I came here today just to buy a ticket."
Yun Qiao: "Then I'll accompany you."
