After they were full from the meal, the five of them asked around and split up; the men went outside to privately buy some things, while the two girls went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Zeng Hongling had to talk it over and over, and even then Su Yuanyuan used her national food tickets to buy three pounds of dried mushrooms.
However, this stuff is dry, so although it's light in weight, it's bulky.
Wei Guangxiang and the other two also bought five pounds from an individual, and when they combined the eight pounds, oh boy, it filled up an entire bag.
Once they got to the post office, both Zeng Hongling and Zeng Yixin wrote letters home, and sent them off before returning to the hotel.
Since they wouldn't leave until tomorrow, Su Yuanyuan and Zeng Hongling went out for a stroll.
