The two of them stood at the door, deeply engrossed in their conversation. Su Xue, who had been washing dishes by the well, overheard their plans to buy train tickets to the county town. Immediately, she inquired, "Brother-in-law, which train tickets are you planning to purchase?"
"I checked before coming back. Capital University's reporting date is August 30th. We will depart on the 30th and return early morning on the 31st. We can assist the Fifth sister with the formalities on the same day," Zhou Hengyang explained thoughtfully, his demeanour calm and organized.
"Isn't that day after tomorrow?" Su Xue marvelled, realizing how swiftly time had passed. It was already the 28th.
"Yes," Zhou Hengyang affirmed briefly, his words precise and to the point. Despite his close relationship with the family, he remained a man of few words.
"Fourth sister, when is your reporting date?" Su Wen asked.
