A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Chapter 246 Zhang Mei sends Shen Jiaren to the car

"Oh, Xiao Shen, we were just busy chatting. Hurry up and pack up. You have to go to Taozi's house later and take their donkey cart to go to work in town." Zhang Mei said embarrassedly.

Shen Jiaren wanted to check the time, but then she remembered that she didn't bring her alarm clock, so she couldn't take her watch, so she asked, "Aunt, what time is it now? Don't be too late."

Aunt Zhang Mei quickly glanced at the clock hanging in the middle of the room and said, "It's six o'clock. You should clean up quickly. It's getting late."

Shen Jiaren looked at her bedding roll in the side room where she slept, and thought about not bringing toiletries. "Aunt, forget it, I'll pack my bedding roll and leave. As for washing up, it's not convenient if I don't bring anything, I'll wash up when I get to the hospital."

Zhang Mei thought about the hypocrisy of these educated youths and stopped trying to persuade Shen Jiaren. Instead, she said to Shen Jiaren, "Shen Zhiqing, pack your bedding first. I'll find you a rope so you can carry it when the time comes."

Shen Jiaren nodded, then went back to the ear room and started to roll up her bedding.

When Aunt Zhang Mei took the rope back to the ear room and saw the bedding roll that Shen Jiaren had made, she burst out laughing. Other people's bedding rolls were real rolls, but this educated youth's roll was a bucket, a bucket as thick as a water bucket, and no one knew how it was rolled.

Then she sighed and went up to help Shen Jiaren tidy up. "Xiao Shen, go tidy yourself up. I'll roll it up for you. When you're done, come over. Auntie will have tidied it up for you too. You can just take it away when the time comes."

Shen Jiaren nodded and made way for Aunt Zhang Mei to start rearranging her rolled bedding.

Shen Jiaren stood nearby and watched Aunt Zhang Mei quickly roll up her bedding into a roll.

Shen Jiaren looked at the re-packaged papers and lowered her head in embarrassment. Every profession has its own specialties, or everyone has something they are good at, or you can't judge a person by his appearance, the ancients were right.

Zhang Mei patted her rolled bedding and said, "Alright, carry it. It's probably getting late, so go to the roadside and wait."

Shen Jiaren nodded and prepared to go out with her bedding roll. When she reached the kang, she suddenly remembered that she had not given the captain the key yesterday, and they might not be able to go back after they came out.

Moreover, some of my things were locked inside the house, such as coal, which was in the kitchen. There was only firewood in the yard outside. I didn't know how they spent last night.

Shen Jiaren quickly took out the key from her pocket and handed it to Aunt Zhang Mei, "Aunt, this is the key to my house. I may not be able to come back in the near future, but because of what happened in the yard, the captain and his men will probably have to stay at my house for a while.

I'll give you the key, please deliver it to the captain. I'm a bit pressed for time today, so I can't go back."

Zhang Mei waved her hand, "Oh, I thought you were talking about something else, it's just this matter, it's just a matter of convenience, I'll take you to the entrance of your alley later, I'll take you there.

Go to work with peace of mind."

Shen Jiaren, "Ah, Auntie, are you still going to send me there?"

Zhang Mei looked at the sky outside, got off the kang and said to Shen Jiaren, "It's still dark outside, how can I let you go alone? It's just a matter of convenience. I'll come back after I see you get in the car."

Shen Jiaren carried her bedding roll on her back a little embarrassedly and stood there waiting for Zhang Mei.

Then he thought of the children sleeping outside, "Auntie, if you send me off, what about your children?"

"Them? It's still early for them to wake up. By the time we send you back, they will be almost awake."
