The mother and daughter were chatting while they took out the woolen pants from the bag, completely unaware that an ordinary silver van was approaching them.
In commercial areas, it was common to see semi-new vans privately offering rides that could carry both people and goods. To avoid scrutiny, they usually covered the license plate with a CD.
Because it was so common, when the van stopped beside them, Shi Nian instinctively glanced at it and didn't pay much attention. She only assumed the driver might try to strike up a conversation and ask if they needed a ride.
As the door opened, Shi Nian was still talking to her mom, "We could add another small pocket on my dad's knee. It'll be perfect for putting a heat pack in when the weather turns cold."
