The next morning, when Bai Fanglan woke up, she found two shopping vouchers beside her pillow. She knew what these were.
They were benefits given by the military, which could be used to receive military-grade leather shoes, cotton-padded jackets, biscuits, and bread—all of high quality.
Mrs. Wang walked in smiling, "You're up? Wang Hu said when he left that you weren't feeling well, so you don't have to visit with me. You can rest at home or visit a classmate if you want. I'm giving you the vouchers; buy whatever you want. It's just a shame the shops are closed until the fifth day of the New Year."
Bai Fanglan was startled by Wang Hu's thoughtfulness and quickly smiled, "I didn't even know when he left. Sorry, Mom. I slept too deeply."
"No problem, just rest up."
Mrs. Wang left. Bai Fanglan held the vouchers, somewhat dazed. This was a kindness to her, right?
