[Chapter 294 Chapter 294 Farewell Gift]
Cheng Liyan returned home the next afternoon, and it was almost dark when he came back.
While Shen Yuyao was pouring hot water for him to wash his hands and face, she asked, "Why did you come back so late?"
"First arrange Uncle Gu and the others to stay in the guesthouse, and then go return the car." Cheng Liyan said.
In the morning, Shen Yuyao went to check the space as usual, and then she found that the car was already on the way home.
Because Doctor Gu and Si Qin were both sitting in the car, she didn't know what to say to Cheng Liyan. She just quietly changed the pot of hot water for him and came out of the space.
When Shen Yuyao was in the space, she had already seen that Doctor Gu was in a bad condition. When she heard that they were arranged to stay in the guesthouse, she naturally asked a few questions such as "Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?"
After Cheng Liyan answered all the questions one by one, he quickly washed his face and went to knock on the door of Feng Changyuan's house next door without even having time to eat.
He hadn't seen his transfer order yet, so naturally he had to go and ask for clarification.
The Second Field Army gave Cheng Liyan ten days to pack his luggage and report in. If he was traveling alone, then this time was definitely plenty.
But Cheng Liyan never thought about leaving alone.
How could he feel comfortable letting his wife follow him with their son and luggage?
Now that we have decided to go together, time has become very tight.
Cheng Liyan and Feng Changyuan divided the work. The next day, Cheng Liyan went to the division headquarters to handle the resignation procedures. By the way, he called Wang Pingyuan and asked him to take leave to send the other children back.
Cheng Liyan really doesn't have time to pick anyone up now.
Feng Changyuan first got a letter of introduction and went to the train station in person to negotiate and buy tickets for the group.
The only thing to be thankful for was that because Doctor Gu had experience in assisting Chen Fei and Political Commissar Yan in treating trauma, Division Commander Ye, now Deputy Commander Ye, recruited him into the army as a "special talent" and became a medical assistant.
In this way, the travel certificates for him and his children could be issued uniformly by the army, saving Feng Changyuan a lot of effort.
While these two people were busy, Shen Yuyao was not idle either.
In addition to continuing her shopping, she also had to start packing her luggage.
The bicycle, tricycle, Xiaoyi's rocking cot, the single bed that Cheng Liyan had bought for her small rental house, the table, and the camphorwood box must all be checked in.
In addition, pots, pans, bedding, clothes and other items that are not worn temporarily also need to be packed and boxed.
Shen Yuyao originally thought that she had space and many things could be placed directly in the space, so moving was not a big project.
But when she really started to clean up, she found that it was not as simple as she thought.
She can indeed put things into the space, but how can she take them out when she gets there?
It's not just their family of three who are traveling. Dr. Gu's entire family will also be accompanying them. With so many pairs of eyes, everything they bring out must have a source.
So, Shen Yuyao sadly discovered that except for valuables, food for the journey and things that might be needed at any time, everything else had to be sorted out and packed.
Not only do you have to pack, but you also have to figure out which items you're going to need immediately when you get there and pick those out to take with you.
Other checked baggage must also be packed carefully.
Shen Yuyao has heard that not only is freight delivery slow nowadays, but loading and unloading is also extremely violent!
You must carry fragile items, valuables, and food with you, otherwise you will have to blame yourself if you lose them.
Fortunately, knowing that she couldn't handle it alone, Qiao An and Sister Han would come to help when they were free.
Xiao Mei took advantage of her off-get off work hour to bring Shen Yuyao the things that she asked her master to buy.
In addition to what Shen Yuyao bought herself, Xiao Mei also brought farewell gifts that her colleagues gave her.
It is said that Zhao Yuanyuan, Jiang Xiaoyan, Zhang Qiangsheng... and others raised funds together to buy it.
The gift was a very thick pure wool blanket and a pair of women's half-length leather boots with wool inside.
Seeing these two gifts, Shen Yuyao was stunned!
"No, no, this is too expensive, I can't accept it!" Shen Yuyao quickly refused.
Xiao Mei put the things on the table with a smile and said, "I have no share in this. I'm just helping to bring it. If you have anything to say, go tell them, but not me."
Shen Yuyao asked anxiously, "What are they doing? These two things together cost more than a hundred. Are they having trouble making ends meet?"
Xiao Mei glanced at the two large boxes she had brought in and nodded in her heart.
That blanket is the most expensive one currently sold in the department store. It is a double pure wool blanket that costs 89 yuan each, and you also need two industrial coupons.
The women's half boots are high-end products newly launched by the leather shoe factory this year. I heard that they are exclusively supplied to Beijing and Hai City, and the department stores have not yet received them.
It is said that Zhao Yuanyuan had to ask her father to get this pair for her after much persuasion.
——It goes without saying that this group of second-generation people, who are considered to be arrogant even in a department store, are really nice to Yuyao.
Xiao Mei sighed in her heart but did not speak her thoughts out loud. She repeated to Shen Yuyao what Jiang Xiaoyan had specifically told her.
"They told me to tell you that if you still consider them your friends, you should continue to treat them well without saying anything polite.
They said they have benefited a lot from you over the years, and they are not polite to you, so you should not stop considering them as your friends."
Shen Yuyao was silent.
The first friends she made when she came into this world were Jiang Xiaoyan and her friends.
After a few years of living together, especially as we got married and had children, everyone devoted more energy to their own families and no longer had time to get together and hang out like we did in the beginning.
But even so, the feelings between them still exist, and they can help each other at critical moments.
She still hasn't forgotten how Jiang Xiaoyan and the others took sides when their master and Sun Qiufang had a fight at work.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips again.
Xiao Mei didn't bring anything for Shen Yuyao this time. She said that the news came too suddenly and she had no time to prepare.
Besides, we will keep in touch in the future, so there is no need to buy unnecessary things.
"Oh, you finally hit the nail on the head." Shen Yuyao sighed quickly.
She pointed at the various things spread out in the room and said with a sad face, "I don't know how to clean all this up."
Xiao Mei said, "What's the big deal? Just take your time and do it. If you can't finish it, just leave it alone and leave when you need to. At worst, I can pack it up and send it to you later."
At this point, she paused and said, "I wrote a letter home, asking my mother to help collect some cotton.
I heard Chen Fei say the other day that Anhuai is further north than Binhai, and that the winters there are long and particularly cold.
When you arrive, remember to write back and I will ask my mother to send the cotton to you directly.
Xiaoyi is young and you are weak, so your quilt and cotton-padded jacket must be made with new lining and new cotton, so that you can keep warm."
