There is no direct train from Beijing to Sui City, so He Xuewen bought tickets to Shanghai instead, planning to transfer from Shanghai to Sui City. If worse came to worst, they could even have Tian Mantong come to Shanghai to pick them up, as he made the trip to Shanghai at least once a week anyway.
The tickets were for 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow, precisely September 1st. If it were the present day, they'd probably hit the peak of the school starting season. However, at that time, few people went to university, so the enormous crowds of the future were nowhere to be seen.
Mr. Yun gave Tian Xinhua and He Chengsi two days off and didn't ask Tian Sisi to make him any delicious food. The old man showed his generosity by letting Luo Datou take these three kids out for a stroll and buy some local specialties to give away as gifts.
