Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Captain Zhao and His Team Arrived in Capital City
Capital City is also considered to be in the North, where the average height of men is generally taller than that of men in the South.
Du Ruo wasn’t very clear either, she vaguely heard Yun Xiaoxiao mention, "working in a garment factory."
"That must be a leader," she surmised.
Aunt Li had seen just yesterday how the female comrade was beautiful, and the male comrade handsome, and how they decisively chose without even haggling over the price.
Du Ruo wasn’t quite sure as she said, "Should be, I guess!"
On the other side.
Little Aunt Zhao and her group finally arrived at the county town.
Zhao Tianhai was taking them to the city to catch the train.
"We’ll continue to take the coach to the city."
They calculated the time of departure.
They would rather arrive early at the train station than be late because the train truly won’t wait for you once it starts moving.
Little Uncle Zhao and Little Aunt Zhao were a bit intimidated.
This was their first time coming to the county town, and going to the city was even rarer for them.
To catch the train, they had risen before dawn, taken a cart to town, and caught the early bus to the county town.
Now that they finally made it to the county town, they had to rush to the city.
"Little Aunt, are you okay?"
Little Aunt Zhao’s face was a bit pale; her health hadn’t been very good over the years, and now, sitting on the coach, she looked even worse.
"Little sister-in-law, have some candy," offered the younger.
Little Aunt Zhao accepted the candy and put it in her mouth, finally feeling a bit better.
Once they arrived at the city’s bus terminal, Zhao Tianhai hurried them onto a bus to the train station. Seeing it was still early, he then took them to eat a bowl of noodles.
"Dad, Mom, Little Uncle, Little Aunt, I should be heading back now. My mother knows how to catch the train," said Zhao Tianhai, knowing he would miss his own ride if he didn’t leave.
"Alright."
Mrs. Zhao led them to the waiting hall.
"There’s a large clock up there. We’ll watch the time and enter the platform half an hour early."
By the time the four of them had finally squeezed onto the train, they were all filled with emotion.
They had delayed their departure to Capital City to buy sleeper tickets.
"This bed is too narrow."
Mrs. Zhao quickly said, "We have sleeper berths here. There are hard seats in the back. At least we can lie down here. If we had to sit all the way to Capital City, it would take us several days by train. At our age, we can’t handle sitting that long."
Having heard her sister-in-law say this, Little Aunt Zhao dared not complain.
The clothes they wore were the best they could offer.
At first, they were a bit intrigued by them, but the inconvenience of collecting hot water on the train, using the toilet, and the especially expensive boxed lunches eventually outweighed their novelty as they finally arrived in Capital City.
Mrs. Zhao had been to Capital City before and was quite familiar with it.
"We don’t need to rush; let’s get off the train slowly."
Even before they disembarked, a wave of cold air hit them; it was extremely cold.
Though they saw a panorama of snow, for the first time, they experienced just how truly cold Capital City was.
"It’s so cold."
"Walk faster, or we’ll miss the bus. If we do, we’ll have to wait at least half an hour for the next one," Mrs. Zhao urged.
Hearing this, Little Uncle Zhao and Captain Zhao hurriedly carried their belongings and followed, truly feeling too cold, as if their feet were about to freeze solid.
They were still lucky, managing to get on the bus.
Then Mrs. Zhao led them to transfer to another bus and get off, not taking the bus any further.
"Sister-in-law, are we about to arrive?" asked Little Aunt Zhao.
"We still have a bit of a walk," she replied.
Looking around, Little Aunt Zhao took in the sight of Capital City, distinctly different with its big trees and street lights lining the roads.
Snow blanketed everything in sight.
The group followed Mrs. Zhao, walking together until they reached an alley. They entered the alley, continued onward, and finally stopped in front of a gate.
Mrs. Zhao paused to knock on the door.
