Li Linghua asked, "What are you doing in the county town?"
"Going to make a phone call and buy some stuff on the side."
It had already been a while since they arrived, and it was about time to call home to report her safety. Before, Ding Lixiu had also asked her to buy two sets of clothes for her parents when she went back home.
It seemed about right for that time.
Li Linghua didn't ask any more questions and nodded in agreement.
The town wasn't far, and the two of them waited for the bus at the village entrance before dawn.
Ding Xiaoman was still sleeping. She was so excited about going to town last night that she didn't sleep until midnight, and now she couldn't get up in the morning.
Li Linghua didn't want to bring her, but Song Yitang, concerned that Ding Xiaoman would be upset, took the initiative to carry her with them.
The morning bus was quite full, but there were just two seats left, which was perfect.
