Jiang Baige sent Zhao Yong away, and when she came back, she went to replenish Yang Wuye's goods.
Thinking that it would soon get cold, she took out dozens of quilts.
There was not much cotton in the supply and marketing cooperative, and one cotton ticket could only buy a little over one kilogram of cotton. If you wanted to make a quilt, even a thin one, you would need six or seven kilograms of cotton.
A family of five or six people can only buy one and a half kilograms of cotton a year, so many people spend a lot of money to buy cotton on the black market.
When cotton was in short supply, you couldn't even buy cotton.
After doing all this, Jiang Baige returned to the guesthouse.
Grandma Meng was waiting for her to come back because she had something on her mind.
Jiang Baige opened the door and asked, "Grandma Meng, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Grandma Meng patted her bed and said, "Girl, come and sit down."
Jiang Baige curled the corners of her lips, then went over to make the bed for her.
"Grandma Meng, I know what you want to say, but it's a little late today, why don't we just lie on the bed and talk?"
After she finished speaking, she went to pour water to wash her face and feet.
Grandma Meng also felt that she was worrying too much. They would be together every day in the future, so if there was anything, she could ask slowly.
After Jiang Baige poured out the foot washing water, she chatted with Grandma Meng for a while.
She fell asleep only when she really couldn't stand it anymore.
Zhao Yong pushed the cart and returned to Xujia Village from a small road because he was afraid of running into people on the road.
Because he had not returned yet, the people in the Guo family did not sleep and left the door open, waiting for him to come back.
Hearing the door open, Guo Xiaofang ran to the door.
Zhao Yong was afraid that she would ask more questions, so he said, "Hurry up and move the food in before anyone else sees it."
Brother Guo also came. When he saw the cart full of things, he said nothing and quickly moved them into the house.
Guo Xiaofang had a lot of questions to ask, but she could only help with the work first.
After putting away their own food, Zhao Yong and his elder brother-in-law helped deliver the Xu family's food.
The next morning, Grandma Meng had already gotten up. She slowly went downstairs to wash up and started packing her luggage.
She always felt that she didn't bring much when she came, but when she packed up, it seemed like a lot.
The things this girl took were lost on the road, and she thought Jiang Baige lost them along the way.
Jiang Baige and Grandma Meng chatted last night until after one o'clock, and she went to sleep only when she couldn't stand it anymore.
Grandma Meng got up early in the morning when she heard the rooster crow.
Ever since she knew she was going on a long journey, she had been so excited that she hadn't slept well for two nights. When she got up early in the morning, she was exhausted.
Jiang Baige is usually very sleepy, and now it's time to sleep, she can't get up at all.
Grandma Meng heard that the people outside had already gone several times, and then she called out, "Girl, get up and go ask the women downstairs if they have bought their tickets."
Jiang Baige replied dazedly, "Okay, I'll get up right away."
She was also worried about whether she could leave today, so when Grandma Meng called her, she closed her eyes and crawled up.
She put on her clothes, tied her hair into a bun, then went downstairs with her toothpaste and toothbrush to wash up.
When I went downstairs, I first took a look at the counter. The woman on the small bed behind the counter had not gotten up yet, and the sister who worked the day shift had not come to work yet.
Jiang Baige went to the sink to wash her face and brush her teeth.
When she came back after washing up, her elder sister had already come to work, so she had to go upstairs to find her.
Seeing her coming, the eldest sister said, "Oh! Sister, I'm going to look for you."
"I've already bought the ticket. It's past 11 a.m."
As she spoke, she handed the ticket to Jiang Baige.
"Look carefully, don't miss the bus."
Jiang Baige wiped the water off her hands before going to pick up the train ticket.
After carefully checking the train number and carriage number, I put the ticket into my trouser pocket with satisfaction.
Jiang Baige smiled and said, "Big sister, thank you so much."
"If we buy it ourselves, we won't be able to get such a good location."
She looked at the seats on the ticket and saw that she and Grandma Meng would both have lower bunks. This way, they wouldn't have to climb up and down, and it would also be convenient for them to take care of Grandma Meng.
The eldest sister smiled and said, "Look at what you said. You're still thanking me. Go pack up! When you're away from home, it's better to give yourself more time to prepare. When you get to the station, you can rest as much as you want."
Jiang Baige also thought so, and then happily ran back upstairs to tell Grandma Meng.
They were going to have breakfast and then take a bus to the station.
The county train station is on the edge of the city, and it will take them a while to get there.
Hearing Jiang Baige's footsteps coming back, Grandma Meng asked, "How's it going? Did you buy your ticket?"
Jiang Baige responded, "Well, hurry up and pack up, let's go!"
Grandma Meng was delighted and then dragged the suitcase out.
Jiang Baige looked around the house to make sure nothing was left behind, then picked up the suitcase and helped Grandma Meng downstairs.
She prepared a bag of peanuts, melon seeds and candies and gave them to her elder sister when checking out.
Although she paid for the errands, the seat they arranged for her allowed them to spend the next two or three days comfortably in the car.
"Big sister, these are for you. Take them home and feed them to the children."
The eldest sister asked: "What is this?"
As she spoke, she opened her pocket.
Seeing so much food, she said happily: "I like this one, thank you very much."
Then he reminded her, "Be careful on the road! Remember to close the door when you sleep, and don't fall asleep when someone gets off the bus, or you might lose something and not be able to find it."
Jiang Baige nodded, "I understand. Let's go then."
Although Grandma Meng couldn't see, she still smiled at the person in front of her.
After Jiang Baige and Grandma Meng left, they went to the state-owned restaurant first.
Each person ordered a bowl of noodles and a large piece of meat. After this meal, they were full. The food in the following days was not so good.
While they were eating, Jiang Baige quickly wrote a letter to Chen Defu.
Zhao Yong’s household registration must be handled as soon as possible, otherwise even if she promised him so solemnly, he would not be able to get a household registration and the mother and son might have to be separated for a while.
She ate the noodles in a few bites, then asked Grandma Meng to wait here while she went to mail the letter and go to the train station when she came back.
When Jiang Baige went to the post office to mail a letter, a man was working there that day. She didn't ask why the older woman was not there. She just mailed the letter and left.
When they came out of the state-owned hotel, they asked someone how to get to the train station.
When they arrived at the train station, it was already past nine o'clock. The train station was crowded with people, but there were only a few people. Jiang Baige took Grandma Meng to find a place to get off.
Jiang Baige felt that it was still early, so she wanted to go for a walk.
Because many profiteers made their fortunes in this railway station.
They sell goods secretly, and after the money and goods are settled, no one recognizes each other. Even if the security team comes to find them, they can't do anything to them.
It's much safer than black market bosses like Yang Wuye.
