"Classes start on February 1? That means we'll need to head to Jingdu City right after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year," Grandma Lin said, looking at the start date on the admission notice. She was already calculating what to prepare for the two kids.
Jingdu City is in the north, where winters are much colder than here. Thick blankets and warm clothing would need to be prepared. "Old man, we need to gather at least thirty jin of cotton in the next two months. We have to get everything ready for the kids," she urged, giving a nudge to her still-smiling husband.
Grandpa Lin snapped back to reality and nodded eagerly. The kids had done so well; they shouldn't have to worry about trivial matters.
"Grandpa, Grandma, you don't need to prepare anything. Jingdu City is the capital; they'll have everything we need. It'll be a three-day, two-night train ride. It's inconvenient to bring too much stuff; we can buy what we need in Jingdu City," Su Yijia advised.
