She said this because she took into consideration that other families lived in one or two rooms, while she lived in two rooms by herself, and now if she renovated the rooms she would have even more.

There are always jealous people who are afraid that someone will do something bad to them.

Fortunately, the house is hers now, and it’s only been around for a few fifty years, so she doesn’t have to worry too much.

When she said this, several people were moved.

This slum used to be a large house for wealthy families. The floors were quite high. Even the ear room was more than four meters high and could be made into two floors.

This way, the room is doubled, and even if you have more children, you don’t have to worry about not having enough space at home.

"How much will it cost to repair Dr. Jiang's house?"

"I plan to use bricks for the middle partition. This will provide better sound insulation and be stronger. However, it will cost a bit more. The materials plus labor will be a little over 300 yuan. If I use wooden boards, it should be cheaper."

When they heard the price was over 300, many people backed off. If it was only 100, they would still consider it.

A worker can earn two to three hundred yuan a year. After paying for food and household expenses every month, he can only save a few dollars in a year.

Jiang Mengxue didn't care. Everyone has different ideas.

There are many people in my family, so I would rather spend some money to make everyone live more comfortably so that everyone is happy.

They all live together in a cramped space, with no place to put their feet once they enter the house. Living like this for a long time is not good for the body and mind. Jiang Mengxue would rather spend money to buy comfort.

Jiang Mengxue gave each person two pieces of bulk fruit hard candy and thanked them for their help.

She also prepared to catch the bus with her things, including the fruit and pork distributed by the hospital, as well as a pound of mooncakes and a pound of fruit candies, as well as packaged pork elbows and a rooster. There was a festive atmosphere.

She also brought some cloth for her sister and a few days' worth of food for herself. Jiang Mengxue didn't plan to take much back.

Most of the time, Jiang Mengxue's thoughts are still stuck in the past. She feels that a little food is not worth anything at all. She often forgets the era she is living in. This is something she can only adapt to slowly and remind herself of at all times in her heart.

There is only one bus back to the commune every day. I take a taxi to the commune at 9 am and return to the city from the commune at 2 pm.

Put everything you need to take with you in a net bag, and try not to take anything from the space when you get home to avoid being noticed.

Carrying a cross-body bag and a net bag in my hand, I walked towards the station. If the bus left, I would really not be able to go back today.

The weather in Northeast China is already very cool during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the highest temperature of the day should be around 20 degrees Celsius.

Jiang Mengxue didn't feel hot even after walking for such a long time today.

It took nearly twenty minutes to reach the starting station.

Walk a little further to the first stop, there are still seats available on the bus now.

If you wait for the bus near your doorstep, the seats will probably be full by the time the bus arrives.

Either you bring a small stool with you, or you will have to stand all the way.

Jiang Mengxue also saw that there was still time, so she would rather walk a little further than stand all the way back.

There are not many people in the car at this moment.

As soon as I got in the car, I smelled a very strong smell of gasoline.

It’s hard to describe how I feel at the moment. I can only say that I want to vomit but can’t.

Jiang Mengxue found a seat by the window and sat down.

Put the net bag in your hand under your feet.

I leaned my head against the window, closed my eyes and tried to rest for a while.

I took a motion sickness pill and hoped I wouldn't vomit in the car.

I don't know how many minutes passed before I felt someone sitting down next to me.

Jiang Mengxue raised her eyes to look, then closed them again and pretended to sleep.

After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong. The face I just saw seemed familiar. I had only seen it today.

He sat up straight and looked over again.

As soon as Gu Qingbei got in the car, he saw Jiang Mengxue.

There were not many empty seats on the bus, only two in the last row, and the one left was next to Jiang Mengxue.

I originally wanted to go directly to the last row.

But I noticed that some men in other seats kept looking over here, and I felt like getting up and coming over.

He stopped halfway, turned around and sat next to Jiang Mengxue.

Just as I sat down, I noticed the little girl looked up.

Just as I was about to say hello, the little girl closed her eyes and seemed to be falling asleep again.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly stood up again, which scared Gu Qingbei.

Jiang Mengxue was also surprised. She didn't know why Gu Qingbei was here. Shouldn't he have gone home with his sister?

"Comrade Gu, why are you here?"

"I went back to the village. I heard from my sister that your family was from Xiaotaoyuan Brigade. My family was in the brigade next door, so we took the same car back to the commune."

Jiang Mengxue then remembered that she had heard Gu Huaijue say that her mother's family was in the Feiyue Brigade, which was right next to Xiaotaoyuan.

"That's a coincidence."

"You don't look very good. Are you not used to the smell in the car?"

Jiang Mengxue was also very worried: "Well, the smell of gasoline is too strong. I'm afraid I'll vomit when the car starts driving."

She hasn't taken this kind of bus in many years.

I experienced this when I was very young, but the buses I took when I grew up were much better. There was no gasoline smell and no smell of cheap leather on the seats.

It would take at least two or three hours to get back to the commune from the city. The bus would stop for fifteen minutes at the Anfeng County station before heading to Zhonghe Commune. Jiang Mengxue didn't know how she would wait until she got off the bus.

Gu Qingbei reached into his backpack and took out some fruits, dark red plums and fresh oranges.

"Eating some fruit can make you feel better. Plums are sweet, and the skin is a little sour. Putting orange peel under your nose can also make you feel better."

Jiang Mengxue didn't expect that there would be fruit in his bag.

When she got into the car, she was holding a net bag, and it was obvious what was inside.

The cross-body bag she was carrying was rather flat, and it was obvious that there was nothing in it, so she really didn't dare to take anything out casually outside.
