"I'm not sure if you can bring everything with you, but I've prepared a set of daily necessities for you: toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, vanity cream, washbasin. I also steamed a few extra sausages for lunch today and sliced them up and put them in the lunch box. You can just grab some with your meal, or use it to build good relationships with your colleagues."
"I'll put the money in your wallet, keep it safe. You don't have a salary right now, so you need a ticket to eat in the cafeteria. Your brother-in-law and I have enough. Don't be reluctant to eat. I'll visit you in a few days and bring you some food. I haven't seen your work environment yet, so I'm still worried."
Jiang Mengran's eyes were already red. Every time, whether it was her eldest sister or her second sister, they treated her like a child. Every time she went to the county with her mother to visit her eldest sister, when they were about to go back, her eldest sister would grab a handful of candy and put it in her pocket for her to eat on the way.
Every time her second sister came home, in addition to bringing her food and hair ornaments, she would also put some money in her clothes before leaving so that she could buy delicious food when she went to the market.
Even though her second sister was only a few minutes older than her, she really protected her like a little sister. Even after she had nephews and nieces, she never ignored her.
When she was a child, even her parents would sometimes ask her to give in to the younger ones, but only her second sister would tell her that she was still a child, even though she was one too.
"Sister, I'll give you my salary when I get it."
Jiang Mengxue wanted to laugh: "Are you stupid? You keep your salary for yourself after you get it. Except for the money you give to your parents, you can save the rest to buy clothes and vanishing cream, and dress up a little. You still have to find a partner. I'll ask your brother-in-law to hand over his salary, which is enough."
"Okay, are the blankets you brought enough? It's getting colder, so you should cover yourself with something thicker if you're sleeping alone. If you have a kang, you'll have to buy coal yourself. Your brother-in-law and I will take you back later to see what your place is like."
After a while, they packed up the big package and tied up the thick quilt. This was the cotton quilt that Jiang Mengxue had taken out before. It was one and a half meters wide and weighed ten kilograms. It was quite heavy to cover herself with.
"Sister, no need to bring a blanket. I brought two."
Jiang Mengxue was unmoved. With more and more people in her family, the little cotton they saved every year was barely enough to make clothes, let alone quilts. At most, they would take apart the quilts every year to wash, dry, and beat them.
The quilts my younger sister brought must be the two quilts she used at home. They are old quilts that have been used for many years. They are fine when she puts them on the ground, but they are heavy and not warm when she covers herself with them.
"This year, the team planted some cotton. Although it's not much, every family can get some. Mother even said she would borrow some from others to make you two new quilts. You can't get married without any contribution from your family."
"Then I'll tell Mom next time I go back that I'll leave the quilt to you. I'll prepare mine myself."
She was the closest in age to my younger sister, so she prepared some for her. Later, when it came to my younger sister's dowry, she couldn't even find anyone to borrow from.
Anyway, she knows that she has everything she needs. Even if she doesn't have anything, she will find a chance to give it to her. There is no need to make her family worry.
"Let's go, I'll take you home first. When we get back we still have to go to the post office to pick up the package. It will be dark if we come back too late."
They tied the things behind the bicycle seat and let Gu Qingbei ride there, while the two sisters took the bus.
There aren't many people at this time. It's not the end of get off work or school, and those who are doing activities won't squeeze into the bus.
As they walked, Jiang Mengxue introduced what was happening nearby, including department stores, state-owned restaurants, vegetable markets, photo studios, and post offices.
The two sides are not far away, but not close either. Jiang Mengran still has to go out by herself if she wants to buy something.
The bus stopped and started frequently and arrived at the train station in less than twenty minutes. The staff dormitory was not far away, just opposite.
In addition to the family building at the back, there is also a single dormitory for employees in the front. Jiang Mengran lives in the first room on the first floor.
At this time, Gu Qingbei was already waiting at the door with something in his hand.
Jiang Mengran took out the key, opened the door and went in.
The room is not big. There is a kang inside with a kang cabinet on top, which can hold clothes and quilts.
Then there was a dining table and two chairs, no other furniture.
He walked forward and opened the two piles of quilts, then made the bed. Although there was no mat underneath, there was a piece of cloth.
"It's okay. You've lived alone long enough. You should always lock the door when you go in and out. Although all the people here are colleagues and their families from the Railway Bureau, you don't know everyone's character. You should be more careful.
Put the quilt you brought from home underneath and cover it with the bed I brought you.
Eat the food I brought you quickly; don't keep it for too long. I also brought you a few packets of biscuits for you to keep when you're hungry before mealtime. Come find me when you're free. You saw the bus stop just now. Just two more stops and you'll reach the hospital. I've been transferred to the obstetrics and gynecology department. Just ask the nurse.
I won't be able to accompany you this afternoon. Your brother-in-law and I have to go to the post office to pick up something. You can get some water and clean up the house. You have to go to work tomorrow, so don't be nervous. Just do what others say."
