Shi Jingfang left the hospital and headed straight to the supply and marketing cooperative. She bought quite a few items, preparing to stay the night with her daughter at the Agricultural Reclamation Group before returning to Beijing the next day.
Worried about missing the return ox cart to the Agricultural Reclamation Group, she jogged all the way to where the carts were stationed.
Fortunately, when she arrived, the last ox cart was just about to depart, and she caught it just in time.
Seeing her laden with bags, someone on the cart asked, "Comrade, are you here to visit family?"
Shi Jingfang smiled and nodded. "Yes, my daughter is an educated youth here. I came to see her."
She didn't want to reveal too much about her daughter to strangers, so she closed her eyes and pretended to nap.
Seeing this, the others felt it would be impolite to ask more questions.
