During the day, while Yuan Chun was attending to Mrs. Guo in the hospital, Guo Jinghong pried open Mrs. Guo's room door and took away the three hundred yuan and some notes hidden in her wardrobe.
She also packed up two beds' worth of thick, nearly new bedding from her bed.
Some nice clothes in the wardrobe, two pieces of fabric, two pairs of leather shoes, and two pairs of cloth shoes under the bed were all packed up and taken away by Guo Jinghong.
The enamel mugs, thermos flasks, aluminum lunchboxes from home, and the kettle Guo Jingling brought back from the department, along with twenty pounds of grain from the kitchen, were all packed...
In short, anything useful was packed up by Guo Jinghong, who then hired a cart to take it all to the post office, sending the parcels to her rural address.
Although it cost a bit of money, there was too much stuff, and she was afraid it would get lost if she took it to the train herself, so she had to spend money to mail it over.
