The person behind was choked and stopped talking. Of course, the post office has no rules. As long as you pay, no one will care even if you beat ten people.
But of course no one makes so many calls, after all, phone calls are expensive.
Seeing that the person behind her had stopped talking, Qi Mengmeng called Liu Dajiang again.
The call was quickly connected, and Qi Mengmeng's voice came from the other end: "Mengmeng, is that you? I'm your mother."
"Mom, it's me. How have you been lately?" Qi Mengmeng felt a little guilty listening to Qi Huilan's voice.
"I'm fine, don't worry, your uncle Liu takes good care of me," Qi Huilan's voice sounded quite calm. She then asked, "How is Guizhi's injury? When did you go to the capital? Do you have enough money? How about I send you some?"
"No need, Mom. We have money. Don't worry. I just want to tell you that Gu Guizhi's injury is almost healed. We will be back in a few days."
Qi Mengmeng briefly talked about Gu Guizhi's situation, and was relieved to learn that Qi Huilan was fine.
Qi Huilan said a few more words before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
Liu Dajiang asked Qi Huilan: "Huilan, when are you going to tell Mengmeng about us?"
Qi Huilan froze for a moment, then said awkwardly, "I'll tell Mengmeng after a while."
Liu Dajiang looked at her suspiciously: "How about I tell Mengmeng?"
"No, no, I'll tell you when Guizhi returns to the family compound from Beijing." Qi Huilan waved her hands quickly. How could she let Liu Dajiang tell her about this? Of course, she had to tell it herself.
Liu Dajiang then asked, "When are we going to get the marriage certificate?"
Qi Huilan avoided Liu Dajiang's gaze and said, "Wait until I finish talking to Mengmeng."
"Okay." Liu Dajiang agreed readily, and Qi Huilan breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Mengmeng doesn't know yet that she will soon have a stepfather.
She paid the phone bill and turned to walk out of the post office. She thought about the things in the space and went back to buy a cloth bag. She planned to buy some things at the department store and send them back together with the things in the space.
The Beijing Department Store has a wide range of items. She bought a top, a pair of trousers, a coat, and some crispy candies for Qi Huilan.
Qi Mengmeng searched around in the space and actually found a purple plaid coat. It seemed that it had hardly been worn since she bought it. Now that it was out of fashion, she stuffed it directly into her bag.
She didn't know how long it would take to mail the package, so she didn't dare send any fruit. She only put a can of honey, two bags of milk powder, two bags of dates, a bag of wolfberries, and two kilograms of brown sugar and white sugar in it.
When she reached the post office, she stuffed a few sausages and a piece of bacon into the bag.
The post office staff's eyes widened when they saw the pile of food she took out.
Qi Mengmeng sewed the package and paid the money before leaving the post office.
The staff member who had just come out followed Qi Mengmeng and asked in a low voice, "Do you still have the bacon and sausages you sent? Can I exchange some with you?"
Qi Mengmeng looked at the other person's flickering eyes and shook her head: "No, those are all I have at home, and I sent them all away."
The person wanted to say something, but Qi Mengmeng nodded at her and left. The person stomped his feet and went back to the post office in a sullen manner.
Qi Mengmeng didn't know whether the man just now really wanted to exchange things, but she had no shortage of money or food now, and she had just caught a spy, so it was better for her to keep a low profile.
Not all people nowadays are kind. It would be troublesome if you meet someone with conjunctivitis.
Qi Mengmeng asked passers-by and went to Xinhua Bookstore.
The best-selling item in Xinhua Bookstore at that time was the Little Red Book. Qi Mengmeng thought about it and realized that her family didn't have it. She was not very familiar with the contents of the Little Red Book, so she just bought two copies.
She also asked the waiter if there were any self-study books on mathematics, physics and chemistry.
The waiter thought for a moment before saying, "That set of books doesn't sell very well. We probably only have a few copies here. I'll go and show them to you."
Qi Mengmeng waited for a while, and the waiter came back with a pile of books and put them on the ground, saying, "We only have ten books here, how many do you want?"
Qi Mengmeng flipped through the books and found four volumes of "Algebra", four volumes of "Physics", and two volumes of "Plane Geometry". She asked the waiter to issue a bill and bought them.
This set of books was not selling well. When the waiter saw that she bought ten books at one time, he was very happy and immediately gave her a receipt.
Qi Mengmeng put a few books into her bag and asked the waiter if he knew where the remaining books were.
The waiter shook his head and said that since it was impossible to take the college entrance examination now, few people came to buy this set of books, and most of the books were gathering dust in the warehouse.
Qi Mengmeng was a little disappointed, but there was nothing she could do. She said to the waiter, "Could you please ask me where I can buy it? I'll come back in a few days."
The waiter shook his head, and a waiter next to him came over and asked: "Why did you buy this book?"
Qi Mengmeng blinked: "My sister-in-law asked me to buy it for her, and she also gave me a handful of candy. You don't have it here, so I'll give it to her when I get back."
"I remember there are some in the warehouse. I'll look for them for you." The waiter who came later had a bright smile on his face: "My name is Xiaohong. Wait, I'll find them for you."
Qi Mengmeng immediately took out two candies from her pocket and handed them to the two waiters: "Sorry for bothering you, have a piece of candy to sweeten your mouth."
At first the waiter didn’t want to take the candies, so Xiaohong quickly took the two candies, gave one to her colleague, and then left with a smile.
Qi Mengmeng picked up a book and started reading, waiting for Xiaohong.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Hong came back with a few books, smiling brightly, "Comrade, you are so lucky. I found the rest of the books."
"Really?" Qi Mengmeng didn't expect that the other party could really find the remaining books.
"Yes, take a look, are these the books?" Xiaohong handed the book in her hand to Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng flipped through them and found that they were indeed the remaining few books, and now the 17 books of the "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" were complete.
She handed a stack of money to Xiao Hong: "Comrade, this money is just right, can you help me to issue a receipt?"
Xiao Hong took the money, narrowed her eyes, and nodded: "That's great, I'll give you a receipt."
Qi Mengmeng waited for Xiaohong to issue the ticket, then left with the book. Although she had to pay one dollar more, it was worth it to buy the book.
She walked out of the bookstore and was just looking for an opportunity to put the book in the space when she heard a voice from behind: "Comrade, wait a moment, little comrade in front."
Qi Mengmeng didn't pay attention at first, until someone patted her on the back, she stopped.
The man who took the photo of her was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He looked at Qi Mengmeng, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Comrade, is your last name Qi?"
"What?" Qi Mengmeng searched her mind and finally confirmed that she did not know the man in front of her.
"No, nothing." The man smiled bitterly, "You look like my sister."
