Idle Chats in the 60s

Jiang Mengxue dreamed that she would return to several decades ago. She decisively sold all her property and filled the warehouse space of the bracelet left by her grandmother.

When Gu Qingbe...

Chapter 585 The whole family is out

Although this matter has been decided, it will still take some time before it is actually implemented.

Jiang Mengxue thought that her previous application for dormitory had not yet been concluded.

With so many people coming this time, we can’t just let them stay in the guesthouse.

I simply went to the nearby street office to rent a larger house, preferably one with a yard.

At this time, there are few houses available for rent, let alone larger houses.

Slightly larger houses are often occupied by several families, unless they are private small courtyards.

Of course, Jiang Mengxue only rented the house for a month at most, and it is estimated that she actually lived there for less than half a month.

The clerk is familiar with the houses of all the families living near him, so he naturally knows which family has a house to rent out.

She thought of it as soon as Jiang Mengxue mentioned it, but she still had to call and ask about it.

Two days later, the clerk came again and said that the other party was willing to rent the house, but only for one month at most.

Three rooms with a yard, rent for five dollars a month.

After all, it is short-term, so it is not normal for the price to be higher.

If you agree, you can go directly to the office to sign a lease agreement, and then you can pick up the keys and move in.

The courtyard is not far from the hospital, just opposite the hospital, and it only takes a few minutes to walk there.

Jiang Mengxue left work early to pick up Ruirui. She went to check on the situation first and make preparations as soon as possible if anything was missing.

Fortunately, the weather is warm now, so we can sleep anyway. Just bring a few thin blankets.

The yard is not big, but it can be cleaned up into two or three habitable rooms, and judging from its previous appearance, it seems that someone has been cleaning it but no one has lived in it.

But this is not Jiang Mengxue's concern.

It took two days to simply clean the house and prepare the beds in several rooms.

Then there is the kitchen. I didn’t expect that there were two ready-made large pots in the kitchen, which saved me a lot of trouble.

Gradually prepare all the seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Then there’s the food. We can’t wait until everyone arrives before going to the hotel to buy food.

Fortunately, she never lacked food coupons, so she bought some food and paid someone to carry it back.

Standing in the yard looking at everything, wondering if there is anything missing.

"Everyone should be here, right? We're just waiting for people to arrive."

Jiang Mengxue clapped her hands and looked at the results of her hard work over the past few days. She had been very busy these days.

I have to go to work during the day, and I take time to come here to clean up at night. Sometimes it's too late and we just stay here. Although this place is not far from the family compound, I'm too lazy to run back and forth.

Almost a week later, Jiang Mengxue received a call from her hometown. It was Jiang Mengran who called to inform her of the arrival time of the train.

"Sister, my brother-in-law's uncle and aunt also went, as well as Second Aunt Meifeng. It's just right for one adult to take care of one child, so it will be safer this way."

Knowing that they were going on a long journey, Jiang Mengran took over the job of arranging the train tickets.

Jiang Mengxue understood what was going on. She guessed that on the one hand, the siblings hadn't seen each other for many years, and on the other hand, Gu Zhenhai and his wife had sincerely invited them.

In addition, Jiang's father and mother had gone to the capital before, and they probably boasted about it to Gu Meifeng when they returned.

But whether there are a few more or fewer people is no big deal to Jiang Mengxue.

"I see. Have they boarded the train yet?"

"I left early this morning. I just finished my morning work and now I have time to call you."

The train journey takes about three or four days, which is quite fast.

Jiang Mengxue took leave for herself and Ruirui in advance and arrived at the train station to pick them up.

Ruirui was still a little nervous. She held Jiang Mengxue's hand and stuck to her side.

Jiang Mengxue was delighted and picked the person up with all her strength.

"Don't be nervous, they will be here soon, and you won't be nervous when you see them.

Nao Nao is a playful person who can get along with anyone."

Ruirui knew it, but she just couldn't control herself.

He has written many letters to his brothers and sisters in the past six months, even though he can only read a few words.

But Jiang Mengxue can help him write, and Mobao and the others will share some interesting things in their hometown.

Go up the mountain to catch birds, go to the river to fish, and go to the fields to help with work.

They are very busy working on the land in their own yard and their own private plots.

Because I wasn't sure when I would be able to go back after a trip, I planted all the coarse grains such as sweet potatoes, corn, and sorghum on the small piece of land at home.

Anyway, they don't care much about it. Logically speaking, you can't grow crops in private plots, you can only grow vegetables, fruits and melons.

But there is no one to check on them, so every household leaves a small piece of land for growing vegetables, and the rest of the yard is planted with grain.

Therefore, the conditions in the production brigades around them were relatively good, and some families could even eat until they were 70% to 80% full at every meal.

Before coming home, they entrusted everything to the Gu Zhenhua family next door. After returning, they only wanted those in the yard, and those in the private plots outside were all rewards for helping his family.

There are still several months before the autumn harvest, and there are indeed a lot of things to do. We can't let people work for nothing.

Anyway, neither family will spread private matters, and they are not worried about what will happen if others find out.

Half an hour later the train finally arrived at the station.

Jiang Mengxue took Ruirui to the train platform. She didn't dare to walk around, and she didn't know which door they would come out from.

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, we are staying here."

Until she heard Gu Meifeng's voice, Jiang Mengxue looked in the direction of the voice and found that they had already got off the train.

When he saw her, he rushed over with his things.

"Mom, Mom."

Worried that the children would run around, each of them held one and refused to let go.
