After finishing the call, Han Xinyan went to the train station and bought a ticket for the next southbound train. However, she only managed to get a seat and would have to find a way to switch it to a sleeper berth once on the train.
Seeing that there was still plenty of time, she made a trip to the black market, found Huang Yali, and sold off the grain she had collected. This transaction brought in another few thousand yuan. Afterward, she found a place to enter the space, where she prepared food in the kitchen for the train journey.
After a busy round of preparation, she managed to get enough food for a few days, finally stopping her work.
She then packed up the chicken, duck, and goose eggs. With time still on her hands, she industriously pickled a small jar of salted duck eggs before taking her clothes to the hot spring pool behind the bamboo building.
