Han Zhenyu helped the drunk Lu Yiming to the bed, wiped his face, and went to the train station with Su Xieqiu to buy tickets.
Lu Yiming and his wife were supporting construction in the far north. They were going to take the same train to Beijing and then change trains in Beijing.
Han Zhenyu bought three berths. As it was still early, the couple went shopping in the department store and bought some gifts for their family.
When Lu Yiming woke up, he knew that Han Zhenyu had bought a ticket for him. He nodded silently, had dinner and went out for a trip.
When he came back, it was almost 11 o'clock. He was brought back by a jeep, and he also brought two large bags of things.
Su Xieqiu had already fallen asleep, and Han Zhenyu came out and opened the door for him.
Lu Yiming said to the man behind him: "Qiangzi, this is my friend Han Zhenyu. You two talked on the phone, so you can just call him brother from now on."
Qiangzi put the two large bags in the living room and greeted him quickly, "Brother Zhenyu, I'm finally glad to see you in person. If you have anything to ask, just tell your brother directly."
Han Zhenyu smiled and shook hands with him. "Qiangzi, the goods you sent me these few times were very easy to sell. Thank you."
"Brother Zhenyu, you're welcome. You're my brother's good friend, so the good stuff must go to our own people first."
Qiangzi and Han Zhenyu exchanged a few words and then drove back.
Lu Yiming sat on the sofa and drank a sip of tea, pointing to the two bags on the ground, "I got some toys for the kids. There's also a radio in there for grandma and grandpa."
Han Zhenyu opened the bags and took a look. There were two large bags full of dolls, cars and all kinds of toys. One bag was filled with various toys, and the other bag contained cotton-padded clothes and small leather boots for several children.
"Why did you buy so much again? They haven't even worn all the clothes they sent last time. And these little leather boots. They work in the fields every day. They can't wear leather shoes, right?"
Han Zhenyu took a look underneath and found a few pairs of larger leather shoes, which should be for the twins and Chenchen to wear next year.
Lu Yiming put down his teacup and said with a smile, "I didn't buy this. This is a sample given to Qiangzi by a merchant at the Canton Fair. I asked him to choose some for the children. The sizes are a bit big, so they can be worn next year."
"As an uncle, you are more thoughtful than the two of us."
Han Zhenyu put his bag against the wall and said, "It's getting late, go to bed quickly. I bought a train ticket for tomorrow at 12:30 noon."
Lu Yiming nodded and said, "I have already arranged everything here. Let's go together tomorrow."
He stood up from the sofa, waved to Han Zhenyu, and went back to the room.
………
When Su Xieqiu and Han Zhenyu got up, there was still no movement in Lu Yiming's room.
The couple went for a stroll on the street, bought some fruits and snacks for the journey, had breakfast again, and brought a portion for Lu Yiming on the way back.
"Zhenyu, sister-in-law, why did you get up so early?" As soon as Lu Yiming opened the door, he saw the two of them coming back with big and small bags.
Han Zhenyu held up his watch in front of him, "Look what time it is now?"
Lu Yiming smiled and glanced at his watch. "It's not even nine o'clock yet, and I'm not going to work. Why are you getting up so early?"
He smoothed his wet hair with his hands, probably because he had just taken a shower.
Han Zhenyu glared at him and stuffed the breakfast into his hand. "Hurry up and eat and clean up. You will miss the train later."
Lu Yiming took the breakfast to the living room and said as he ate, "It's okay. We won't be late. Qiangzi will drive us to the train station later."
Su Xieqiu put the fruits he bought into a cloth bag and reminded Lu Yiming.
"Now people in the north are wearing cotton clothes, so you should bring some thick clothes. Do you have a cotton jacket or cotton pants? If not, I'll buy you two sets."
"No need, sister-in-law, I'll buy it when I get there." Lu Yiming said indifferently.
The winter in Huacheng is not cold, and the thickest clothes he has here are only coats and sweaters. Thinking that he can't wear cotton clothes, he didn't prepare anything.
Han Zhenyu frowned in disapproval. "There is a shortage of supplies over there in the border areas. It's not as convenient to buy things as here, not to mention warm clothes. You should bring two sets of clothes with you."
He stood up from the sofa and said, "You eat. Your sister-in-law and I will go to the nearby department store to pick out two cotton-padded clothes for you."
Lu Yiming wanted to stop them, but the couple had already pushed his bicycle out.
He felt warm in his heart. Apart from his parents and two sisters, no one had ever thought so much about him.
No, there was another person, but that damn girl had already divorced him and ran away so far away alone.
When Lu Yiming thought about this, he felt uncomfortable again and couldn't even eat the breakfast in front of him.
Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu were originally worried that there wouldn't be any cotton-padded clothes on display for this season, but they didn't expect that the department store had clothes for all seasons.
Su Xieqiu helped Lu Yiming choose a thick cotton coat, a wool coat, a pair of cotton trousers, a woolen sweater, a pair of woolen trousers, and a pair of large cotton boots.
When the waiter calculated the bill, these clothes would cost more than 980 yuan, and cloth coupons were required.
Han Zhenyu took out all the cloth coupons they brought, and it was just enough.
Su Xieqiu felt a little sad when he paid the money.
But thinking that Lu Yiming had spent a lot of money entertaining them and bought so many things for the children, she readily gave the money to the waiter.
At noon, Qiangzi drove them to the train station.
After getting on the train, Lu Yiming went to look for someone, and soon the conductor arranged the three of them into the soft sleeper car.
There were originally four bunks in the small room, and there were only three of them living in it. No one was allowed to come in during the trip, so it was very quiet all the way.
