The first watch had arrived.
-------------
An older woman helped the younger girl straighten her clothes and smooth out her hair before giving her a thorough once-over, "Okay, go on in."
The young girl handed a piece of paper to the gatekeeper, who took it and finally cracked a smile when his eyes fell on the signature, "Comrades, please come in."
"Comrade, you..."
Just as the young girl started to ask something, the older woman tugged her along inside. Wu Jingbo quickly handed his pass to the gatekeeper, and after being allowed to proceed, hastened his steps to catch up to where the mother and daughter had just turned the corner.
Fortunately, the mother and daughter hadn't gone far, standing by the roadside asking an elderly man something. Wu Jingbo breathed a sigh of relief.
