This time, Chen Xihua and her two sisters went to Jiang City to take the train instead of Beijing.

Originally, Chen Xihua planned for her eldest sister to drive. But after the trip to Guangzhou, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

I just remembered that the term "highway robbers" originated in this era.

Upon returning, Chen Xihua immediately emphasized this to Li Shisheng, who was running a transportation business.

Every time you transport goods, two vehicles must travel together, and you must never drive at night or stop and get out of the vehicles arbitrarily along the way. It's best to travel with other convoys.

Fanghua Company later added another truck, driven by Li Shengli, and each of them brought two people with them.

The people accompanying them were hired by Zhang Anmin; they all had some martial arts skills. Each car was also equipped with a mobile phone so that they could immediately call the police if anything seemed amiss.

"Fifth sister, fifth sister, I can't bear to part with you..." Chen Xiaoliu carried Chen Xihua's schoolbag, her head drooping, following her three older sisters listlessly.

He suppressed his reluctance, and before he even reached the bus stop, his eyes were already red.

"Where's the manly man you promised? Where's the real man? Don't cry! The camera I'm holding is on."

After taking those unflattering photos of you, I posted several copies online, one for each of my sisters.

Chen Xihua said with feigned sarcasm and disdain.

She wanted to facepalm; she was too embarrassed to look. Chen Xiaoliu always pulled this stunt.

Although she knew that Xiao Liu was genuinely reluctant to part with her, he was still half-acting, and he wanted her to promise to take him to Beijing next summer vacation.

"Fifth sister, you're so annoying!" Chen Baohua's slightly sad expression froze for a moment. When he realized what was happening, he wanted to jump up and down.

He was just getting into the mood for a heart-wrenching farewell when his fifth sister really spoiled the mood.

"Haha, Xiao Bao, you're so biased! You don't miss me at all, and you don't miss your older sister either." Chen Xiuhua looked on with amusement.

"Fourth Sister, it's not our turn yet! Fourth Sister, you have to miss me! You only have one brother, I'm your dearest brother, your best brother, your most handsome brother..."

Chen Xiaoliu immediately became obsequious, showering Chen Xiuhua with compliments, but all he did was talk about himself.

"Pfft..." Even the gentle and composed eldest sister, Chen Chunhua, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Never mind, you can talk to Xiao Wu." Chen Xiuhua was even more dissatisfied, turning her head away and laughing angrily.

"Alright, stop joking around, Xiao Liu, let's go." Chen Xihua took the schoolbag from Chen Xiao Liu's shoulder, and then gently patted his head, just like when they were little.

He then turned around, lifted his leg, and stepped onto the bus that had just stopped. He turned back again, feigning a fierce expression, and said, "Xiao Liu, although I trust you, I'll still remind you, if you dare to do anything bad in secret, be careful when I come back and break your legs."

"I know, I know. You've been saying you'd break my legs since I was little. So violent." Chen Baohua pouted and muttered under her breath as she watched her three older sisters get on the bus.

Hmph, how infuriating! Does he think he doesn't know? My fifth sister said a long time ago that you should discipline your younger brother as early as possible.

But even when he grows up, if his fifth sister wants to hit him, he can't fight back.

——

At 1 p.m., Chen Xihua and her two older sisters boarded a train to Beijing.

It will take more than 20 hours, with stops at various stations along the way. It is expected to arrive tomorrow, on the afternoon of August 26.

Chen Xihua and her two companions bought sleeper tickets. When they passed the first two carriages, they saw that they were almost all full.

Moreover, most of them are young people, probably students going to various universities to register.

"Little Five, you sleep on the top bunk. Fourth Sister, you sleep in the middle. I'll sleep on the bottom bunk."

Upon entering the sleeper car, Chen Chunhua looked at the train ticket in her hand, then at the seats on both sides, and said to her two younger sisters.

"Okay, big sister, you can put your backpack and luggage on my upper bunk." Chen Xihua said casually. She had originally wanted to sleep on the lower bunk, as she was more cautious.

When she first boarded the train, she passed through two other workshops and noticed several men with poor eyesight, who were most likely thieves on the train.

There was one person, Chen Xihua only glanced at him and immediately sensed something was wrong. That person had very sharp eyes and ears, and was usually a lookout.

However, judging from the eldest sister's expression, she seemed worried and cautious, so the eldest sister must have already noticed it.

"Xiao Wu, I'll put my schoolbag on your upper bunk too." Chen Xiuhua was very familiar with and perceptive of Xiao Wu's behavior, and had guessed some of it.

Moreover, along the way, the older sister talked a lot about the situations she had encountered when she went to school before, and what she should pay attention to.

Fortunately, the Chen sisters only carried one backpack each and had no other luggage. Soon, the three sisters each found a place to lie down.

At this moment, the passengers in the three sleeper berths opposite each other in the carriage also arrived, but there were six people in total.

An elderly couple in their sixties or seventies, a middle-aged couple in their forties or fifties, and their children, a boy and a girl, who were probably in their twenties.

All six of them were wearing brand new clothes and carrying very little luggage.

"Dad, why aren't our tickets for the same carriage?" Twenty-one-year-old Feng Weiming asked unhappily.

He looked at the six train tickets in his hand; three were for the first carriage, and three were for the second.

The middle-aged man, Feng Jiancheng, also took a look at it, his face showing embarrassment as he looked around.

Beside her, the middle-aged wife, Wu Cuiying, glanced at Chen Chunhua in the lower bunk to her left, then looked up at Chen Xiuhua and Chen Xihua in the upper bunk, and asked,

"Can you three little girls switch places with our family?"

"Yes, yes, we'll have to trouble you three girls." Feng Jiancheng immediately realized.

He kept giving signals, trying to get his daughter, Feng Liping, to put a small duffel bag in her hand on the lower bunk where Chen Chunhua was sitting.

"Liping, put your luggage away first," Wu Cuiying said quickly.

"Sorry, we won't change." Chen Chunhua's face instantly turned a little ugly. She held back her anger, but she had already sat up.

"Hey, girl, what's wrong with you? Why don't you know how to be polite?"

"There are six of us in my family, plus two elderly people. We want to work in the same workshop so it will be easier to take care of them," Wu Cuiying said in a accusatory yet self-righteous tone.

"Three sisters, would you please switch places with my family?" Feng Liping, with her hair in two braids, looked like a pure and innocent country girl.

Her eyes were pitiful, her face gentle, as if pleading.

It's as if it's wrong and inappropriate for the three Chen sisters not to change.
