A large sum of money was not spent in vain; this trip almost allowed her to buy all the current college entrance exam materials.
Shanghai is just Shanghai; things that can’t be found elsewhere can be found here.
The bookstore had its own transportation tools and lent them to Feng Qingxue. She made several trips to transport the books to the post office closest to the bookstore, mailing forty sets of materials back to Wanglou Brigade and ten sets to the Capital, where their relatives and friends were. Even though these materials should be available in the Capital, what if there’s a shortage?
The Capital is the political center, and high-ranking families have keener instincts than ordinary people.
While packing the last heap of books, Feng Qingxue suddenly heard soone calling her na. Turning around, she recognized He Hongjun, "Comrade He Hongjun? Oh, it’s been a long ti since we t."
"Yes, yes, I didn’t expect to see you here. When did you co to Shanghai? You didn’t even give a heads-up. At first, seeing your back, I didn’t dare to recognize you, but when I heard you speaking with the staff, I confird my feeling." Because of a lifesaving favor, coupled with Feng Qingxue being He Qingyin’s fellow apprentice sister, He Hongjun always treated her with exceptional respect, saying this while raising his arms holding two large satchels, "It’s gotten colder; I’m mailing an outfit and food to the grandaunt."
Although Feng Qingxue had not been in her hotown for years, she knew that He Hongjun kept the promise made long ago at her ho to provide for the grandaunt, sending money and things to He Qingyin almost every month and spending his annual vacation to visit her.
Besides, He Hongjun often sent things to their family too.
So you see, doing good deeds always yields returns; even if you don’t get them all, you’ll get most of them.
Hearing He Hongjun’s words, the smile on Feng Qingxue’s face almost burst from within her heart, "I’ve been here only for a couple of days, buying so study materials for ho. I’ll return soon, so I didn’t co to disturb. But have you heard any news about rehabilitating the cases of our senior brothers and sisters? Many have returned ho from our place."
He Hongjun quickly responded, "I’m indeed running around for this matter, and I’ve also inford the grandaunt in the letter; however, we mustn’t rush, so I ask her to be patient. Once a definite arrangent is in place, I’ll personally escort her back ho."
Feng Qingxue nodded slightly; complete rehabilitations would have to wait until 1979 or 1980.
As for now, those who can get rehabilitated are either forr state dignitaries or famous personalities. Although He Qingyin is extrely renowned in the art scene, she’s neither the forr nor reaches the latter’s fa, so a tily rehabilitation is almost normal. Wen Ruyu and Jin Ruochu are likely to be rehabilitated earlier than her and Ouyang Mo.
"It’s good that you understand, I hope the grandaunt will understand too and won’t bla for not being attentive."
He Hongjun sent quite a lot of items to He Qingyin and didn’t intend to ask Feng Qingxue to take them back to Wanglou Brigade. After filling out the form, he invited her to his ho, but unsurprisingly, she refused.
"Thank you for your kind invitation, Comrade He Hongjun, but I have things to attend to, so I won’t go. I’ll visit you on another day when I have the chance."
Among the He Family, she only knew He Hongjun and was unfamiliar with his wife and children, so why bother them?
He Hongjun didn’t insist, only saying again before leaving: "Please assure the grandaunt that I’ll do my best to facilitate her rehabilitation so she can return ho soon."
Feng Qingxue agreed, "Rest assured, I’ll be sure to pass your ssage to Senior Sister."
