Jiang Mengran nodded: "Sister, don't be busy. I can clean up these myself in a while. You and brother-in-law can go and do whatever you want. I can handle this."
There was no need for Jiang Mengxue to help here. She had been doing this work since she was a child, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Okay, then we'll leave first and come see you again when we're free in a few days."
After leaving, the two did not go to the post office first, but went to a photo studio, intending to take a few photos and send one to Gu Qingbei's parents.
The two are about to get married, but the parents-in-law have never met their daughter-in-law.
There are a lot of small photos posted at the entrance of the photo studio. There is a counter right after you enter the room. The owner is sorting the photos, cutting them up and putting them in envelopes.
"Hello, we want to take a photo."
The boss reached out and pushed up his glasses: "Okay, do you have any requirements?"
Jiang Mengxue then remembered that they were going to get their marriage certificate tomorrow, so they might as well take a photo with a red background and stick it directly on the marriage certificate.
"Well, a red background will do."
Today Jiang Mengxue was wearing a white shirt with a black short jacket, and Gu Qingbei was also wearing a white shirt and a black Mao suit, which was perfect for taking photos.
The two sat on the chairs as requested, adjusted each other's clothes and hairstyle, and with a click, the photo was taken.
"How many photos do you want? Come back in five days to pick them up."
Jiang Mengxue thought about it and decided to send one to Gu Qingbei's parents, one to her parents, one to stick on the marriage certificate, one for Gu Qingbei to keep, one for herself, and the remaining one in the album in the space.
"Six, how much?"
The photographer rarely encountered someone who wanted so many copies of a photo, but he didn't say much: "Six dollars."
Gu Qingbei took out the money and handed it over, then took the note to pick up the photo.
After leaving, the two rode their bikes directly to the post office.
"Hello comrade, I'm here to pick up a package and a letter. I'm Gu Qingbei, No. 45 Huayang Lane." He then handed over his ID.
The staff member took the certificate and registered it: "Wait a moment, I'll go find it for you."
He turned around and rummaged through the envelope box at the back: "Two letters and four packages in total."
Someone came out behind him carrying several large packages. After carefully checking the package information, Gu Qingbei signed and received the envelope and package.
He was also a little dumbfounded. He thought his mother would at most send some small gifts or something, two small packages at most. He didn't expect it to be such a huge one, and there was also a medium-sized one sent from the army.
He turned around and looked at Jiang Mengxue, feeling somewhat helpless: "It seems that we can't transport it back in one trip. You sit here for a while, I will make a few trips to send it back."
Jiang Mengxue had no choice but to do this. No wonder the deliveryman didn't deliver it to her door. Nowadays, the postman only has a bicycle, and the postman would have to make several trips just to deliver his stuff.
After helping to secure the package on the back seat and telling Gu Qingbei to go back quickly, Jiang Mengxue returned to the post office.
After three trips back and forth, the three big ones were finally sent back. Jiang Mengxue just had to hold the remaining little one in her arms.
When he got home, Gu Qingbei couldn't wait to start unpacking the packages. He just wanted to know how his mother was able to buy so many things with the little living expenses she left.
Jiang Mengxue also wanted to know very much, but she really couldn't imagine what was inside.
When the first package was opened, the first thing inside was a woolen blanket, which felt thick and soft. The one below it was also a woolen blanket, but in two colors, one cream white and the other light gray. There were also wool yarn, cashmere coats, sweaters, and two types of wool scarves for men and women.
There was a large piece of red woolen cloth that could be used to make a coat, and there was also black woolen cloth, enough for two people to make two sets of clothes.
There were also two ready-made women's clothes, a red coat on top and two calf-length skirts underneath, one black and the other burgundy.
They are all rare items, and you can tell at a glance that a lot of thought went into their creation.
The whole bag of cloth was probably enough for the two of them to make several sets of cloth with some left over, not to mention there was a cross-body bag in the middle filled with all kinds of military bills. It could be said that the whole bag was full.
Grain coupons, meat coupons, oil coupons, cloth coupons, shoe coupons, watch coupons, not only are there many types and quantities, but the dates are also specially changed, and the earliest ones can be kept until the end of the year.
A wooden box was wrapped tightly, containing two hundred-year-old ginseng roots and four or five several-decade-old ginseng roots.
Jiang Mengxue was really shocked. Even if she wanted to buy so much ginseng now, she couldn't get it all at once. It was hard to come by. Moreover, the price of a hundred-year-old ginseng was at least seven or eight hundred, and a few decades-old ginseng could be sold for around one or two hundred. This box would cost at least several thousand.
Another wooden box was opened, revealing a pair of filigree ruby bracelets, a set of gold earrings, rings, and hairpins inlaid with rubies, and another set with sapphires.
"These were given to my mother by my grandmother, and now they are passed on to my daughter-in-law. Try them on and see for yourself."
As he spoke, Gu Qingbei took out a bracelet from the box and put it on Jiang Mengxue. It fit well, neither too big nor too small.
"You can't take these things out now, keep them for now."
These things filled the entire kang. After looking at them, Gu Qingbei went to open the second package.
This pile of stuff is hard and heavy to move.
It is filled with various air-dried meats, beef jerky, bacon, sausages, a whole ham, and dried sea fish and seafood.
It was wrapped in several layers of packaging, and inside was milk powder and malted milk.
