Yun Qiao said, "I've prepared some mountain products for my family. Can you take them to Beijing and send them to my mother?"
"Sure, why not?" Zheng Wenjing agreed immediately. "I know where your family is anyway."
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "It's settled then. I'll come and see you off on the morning of the 27th and give you the things while I'm at it."
"Tuo."
Because they were delayed a little by queuing at the ticket office, it was already half past eleven when the two of them left the train station.
It was dinner time, so the two of them decided to go to a state-owned restaurant to eat together.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, a lot of people came to Gongqie for the big market, and there were also many people in the state-owned restaurants. There, Zheng Wenjing met an acquaintance, a female teacher whom she met when she was filming at Gongqie Middle School.
It was almost Chinese New Year, and the female teacher was dining with her two children. Seeing that Zheng Wenjing couldn't find a seat, the other party took the initiative to invite her to share the table.
Yun Qiao and Zheng Wenjing exchanged glances, and when ordering food, they deliberately ordered an extra plate of braised pork, saying it was a dish for the child.
The female teacher couldn't refuse, so she quickly asked the two children to say thank you.
After finishing the meal, Yun Qiao and Zheng Wenjing said goodbye to the female teacher and her family of three at the door of the state-owned restaurant. Seeing that it was still early before the afternoon bus left, Yun Qiao and Zheng Wenjing went shopping in the nearby department store and supply and marketing store. Zheng Wenjing was about to leave and didn't have much to buy, so she was mainly there to accompany Yun Qiao. Yun Qiao bought some cakes and some light items, such as spices for stewing meat, dried chilies, dried shrimps, white fungus, etc.
After leaving the supply and marketing department, the two went to the market together again. Near the post office, Yun Qiao met Fang Liqiu's two nephews and nieces. Their stall was still selling pig-shaped mushrooms this year, and the price was still one yuan a piece.
Yun Qiao bought all the shiitake mushrooms they had, spending only about twenty yuan in total. He decided to keep one for himself and let Zheng Wenjing take the rest to Beijing.
The two walked all the way from south to north and arrived at the bus station. It was almost time for the bus to depart. The Third Regiment and the Tenth Regiment were heading in different directions, so the bus stopped on the left and right. They waved goodbye to each other and got on their respective buses.
As soon as Yun Qiao got in the car, he saw Yuan Jiahui. She was sitting in the double seat facing the car door.
Seeing Yun Qiao, Yuan Jiahui moved in and sat in the window seat. Then she patted the empty seat outside and waved to Yun Qiao: "Yun Qiao, come and sit here."
Yun Qiao responded and walked over to Yuan Jiahui. He placed his shopping on the luggage rack above his head before sitting down at the outside seat. "Thank you, sister-in-law, for saving me a seat."
"Why are you being so polite to my sister-in-law?" Yuan Jiahui smiled and said, "It's not easy for me to come here, why did you only buy so little?"
She just noticed that when Yun Qiao put things on the luggage rack, the things in his hands seemed light and weightless.
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "I have to come back to the palace in a few days and buy more then. I'm alone this time, and I can't carry too much. After all, it's still a long way from the 10th Regiment Headquarters to our base."
Yuan Jiahui nodded and said, "That's true."
She was a little worried: "I bought a lot of things, but I don't know if Weiguo's father will remember to come pick me up. Otherwise, it's such a long way, and I can hardly walk with so many things."
"He came to see me off this morning, so he must come when I leave this time, right?"
