Su Xiaowan gathered her emotions, suddenly realizing that since she missed them, she might as well go visit them.
Before you could blink, Su Xiaowan started packing quickly, taking everything that should be taken and anything usable, intending to stay at her elder cousin's for a few days.
After she finished packing, she made a simple meal and ate heartily. Once warmly dressed, she slipped out with her bags.
Stepping out in the deep winter was never easy; layered clothing provided little protection against the biting northwestern wind that could give one a dastardly headache.
Su Xiaowan bundled herself up like a cocoon, waiting a long time for the bus before finally getting on.
When she finally arrived at the clothing factory and met her elder cousin, Song Yongyu, and friends, she took them by surprise. They quickly asked her what had happened.
