"Uncle Wang, if you don't want to draw attention, shouldn't we change into older clothes?" Jiang Xia suggested.
At her words, Wang Wen noticed the stark difference between all their attire.
He was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, Shen Mo was wearing a military uniform, and the short man was wearing a black civilian uniform. As for Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia, they looked very shabby.
Jiang Chuan wore a blue short-sleeved shirt and black pants with patches. Jiang Xia wore a flowery shirt and a long dress with patches.
For a moment, the air stilled as the five of them appeared to represent three different social classes.
After a while, Wang Wen broke the silence, "Shen Mo and I will go change into something less conspicuous. We'll be back soon."
By the time everyone was ready, it was already noon. Jiang Chuan initially thought of heading back to the short man's place for lunch as they had brought some dry food with them, not knowing when they'd be back.
