The old man at the door looked somewhat displeased.
However, seeing the simple, honest, and somewhat nervous and bewildered old woman, she spoke up.
“Jiancheng, come here. Your father and I, the three of us, will go to the back carriage. Let Cuiying, Ming'er, and Liping stay here.”
"These young girls nowadays really don't understand social etiquette at all, and they have no manners either." Wu Cuiying said with a dissatisfied look, her slightly protruding teeth showing, making her words even more sarcastic and unpleasant.
The two little girls upstairs were still lying there quietly, not moving their heads or making a sound.
"Oh dear, I told you before that your aunt should have bought the tickets. If she had booked them for us, we definitely could have gotten them together. It's not that easy to switch places," the old man at the door muttered to himself before leaving.
Chen Xihua tends to feel sleepy at noon, and since she came here, the Chen family has a habit of taking a nap at noon.
Moreover, she developed the habit of taking a midday nap at school, usually between 1 and 2 p.m.
If there's nothing else going on, Chen Xihua will definitely rest for half an hour or an hour.
She had just lain down and was already drifting off to sleep. Although she knew someone had come in, she didn't bother to respond, since her older sister was on the lower bunk and watching.
However, the sounds from this family are so jarring! They even disturbed her rest.
Who decided that people have to be moved to different seats? How dare they!
Chen Xihua, who was a bit grumpy when she woke up, was unhappy and coldly retorted, "You're really capable. If you don't want to separate, then take a plane. You can charter a plane."
The six members of the Feng family were all taken aback, and their faces turned pale.
Let alone taking a plane, their location, Qingshan County in Huanshan City, is situated at the southernmost edge of the southern province, bordering Jiang City.
Their home is in a remote mountain village in Qingshan County, where there are few cars and no direct trains.
If you want to go to Beijing, you need to come to Jiang City to take the train.
Seeing that Chen Xihua and her two sisters had no intention of making a change, the Feng family had no choice but to give up.
They all had that same old look on their faces, as if someone owed them something.
However, aside from Feng Weiming, because Chen Xihua turned her face out when she spoke, and he saw it, his eyes lit up instantly.
When he first came in, Feng Weiming noticed that the girl in the lower bunk was pretty, but she looked mature and composed, and was probably older than him.
The one in the middle looks good too, but he has his eyes closed and is lying further in, so he can't see him clearly yet.
I never expected that the girl in the top bunk would be even more stunning, exquisite and beautiful.
Feng Weiming was a little excited. He immediately threw his luggage on the top bunk on the right and climbed up in a very comical way.
Then he lay down, looked at Chen Xihua, and asked her questions with a familiar smile.
"Hello, young lady. My name is Feng Weiming. I am 21 years old and a high school graduate."
What's your name?
You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Can we get to know each other and become friends?
My family is planning to move to Beijing. The people in the carriages in front and behind me are probably all going to Beijing, right? Are you going to study?
"Sir, please be mindful, my sister is still a child." Upon hearing this, Chen Chunhua, who was in the lower bunk, looked very serious. She stuck her head out and glared at Feng Weiming, scolding him.
"Oh dear, she's not even an adult yet. She's just a little girl!" Feng Weiming said with a hint of regret.
But this girl is really my type.
If they were still in the village, he would definitely try to win her over.
“You…” Chen Chunhua was even angrier, pointing her finger at Feng Weiming.
"Young lady, do you have any manners? Who are you pointing at!" Wu Cuiying was immediately displeased when she saw her son being pointed at, and angrily rebuked Chen Chunhua.
Chen Xiuhua, who was in the middle, couldn't hold back any longer and was about to speak up for her older sister.
Chen Xihua spoke softly, her voice even colder.
"Big sister, you don't need to be angry. His mouth is so foul, why are you still talking to him? Aren't you afraid of being overwhelmed by the stench?"
Didn't you notice? The air in this carriage was instantly polluted.
At the same time, Chen Xihua's gaze, sharp as a knife, fell upon Feng Weiming across from her.
Feng Weiming shuddered involuntarily, and his playful expression immediately vanished.
How boring!
After Chen Xihua finished speaking, she turned her head to face inside and quickly fell asleep.
This time I actually encountered an absolute gem.
Those common plot points in novels all say that in the 80s and 90s, when you travel by train, you're bound to encounter some extreme characters. How come I've encountered one myself?
Forget it, I'll just have to bear with it for now. In two years, I'll be able to drive myself. Right now, all she wants to do is lie down and sleep all day.
The family of six we just met were not easy to get along with; perhaps only the old lady was somewhat honest.
It would be best for the three sisters to avoid any contact with this family.
“Tch…” Feng Liping muttered dismissively.
She thought to herself, "These three sisters are just pretty, aren't they?"
My brother is a leopard can't change its spots. Every time he sees a pretty woman, he can't take his eyes off her and wants to flirt with her.
Then, she became a little spoiled and slowly climbed up to the middle bunk.
Wu Cuiying occupies the lowest bunk. After hearing Chen Xihua's words, she was speechless for a moment and lay down on the lower bunk in a huff.
——
After an unknown amount of time, accompanied by the heavy whirring of the train and the sounds of the Feng family mother and daughter from inside the workshop.
Chen Xihua woke up, but remained lying on her side with her eyes closed.
"Mom, did Aunt buy us a house in Beijing?"
Can't we just stay at the Liu family's house? I heard they live in the family compound.
Feng Liping's boastful tone suggested that she was deliberately speaking to Chen Xihua and her two sisters, her eyes filled with smugness and anticipation.
Although she didn't do well on the college entrance exam, her aunt said she could help her find a vocational school in Beijing.
In the future, she must marry someone in Beijing and live the life of a lady like her aunt.
The Feng family is about to settle in Beijing and become city dwellers.
She had always admired her older cousin.
My grandma told me that my cousin, Liu Baozhu, who is only a month older than me, got into a humanities university. That's amazing!
My cousin comes from a good family, is a good student, and I've heard she's also beautiful. Who wouldn't envy her?
The three sisters opposite them are probably from the county town or the countryside; what's so special about them?
Can she compare to her cousin Liu Baozhu?
"Your aunt secretly saved up money to buy a house for your grandparents."
We said we could only go with you if we could help take care of your grandparents. You still want to stay at her house, Liping? Your aunt isn't as easy to talk to as you think.
Wu Cuiying's expression was inscrutable at this moment. She had never met her sister-in-law, who was rumored to have married into a wealthy family.
However, people in several nearby villages all know about what happened between the younger sister-in-law and the educated youth who went to the countryside back then.
When she married into the Feng family, her sister-in-law was already married.
Moreover, in the past twenty years, the sister-in-law has never returned to the Feng family. Before that, she would only call her parents' home once or twice a year, and she never mentioned what kind of family her husband's family was.
However, my in-laws, those two old folks, should know that they have quite a bit of money, all sent back by my sister-in-law.
A while ago, my husband's younger sister said that she had saved up money and bought a small courtyard house in Beijing for more than a million yuan, so that her parents-in-law could live in Beijing.
It was only then that Wu Cuiying learned that her sister-in-law had married into a wealthy family in Beijing and lived in a military compound.
Sure enough, a woman capable of doing something like that must have extraordinary methods.
However, since they are the younger sister's family, she can also benefit from their relationship, which is not bad.
If my son, Weiming, can marry a rich girl in Beijing, or even someone from a moderately wealthy family; and if my daughter, Liping, can also marry into a wealthy family like her sister-in-law.
Then she herself will truly be able to enjoy a life of happiness.
Thinking this, Wu Cuiying felt a surge of joy. Her eyebrows lifted and her lips curled into a happy smile.
——
At 4 p.m. on August 26, the train finally arrived at Beijing West Railway Station.
The three Chen sisters were not in high spirits. On the train, they listened to the three members of the Feng family, mother and sons, talking about their dreams for the future.
When they got off the train, the six members of the Feng family gave Chen Xihua and her sister a few unfriendly looks.
As I walked out of the train station, I ran into them again.
Two cars arrived to pick up the Feng family, while Chen Xihua and the other two were waiting for the bus.
She seemed to hear the girl from the Feng family calling out to the two young men driving the car, "eldest cousin" and "second cousin."
Chen Xihua couldn't help but think to herself, "How much of a future can a whole family have if they go to live with their married daughter?"
Moreover, with a family like this, things will likely end up in a mess.
While waiting for the bus, Chen Xihua seemed to have a vague feeling that there was a pair of eyes in the car that came to pick up the Feng family, staring straight at the three sisters.
What bad luck!
Of course, Chen Xihua's expression was indifferent. Then, seemingly unintentionally and subtly, she pulled her eldest and fourth sisters back a few steps to the back of the platform.
Fortunately, the two cars drove away quickly after everyone was seated.
Chen Xihua couldn't help but sigh, thinking that the Feng family cousins didn't seem like good people either.
About an hour and a half later, the three Chen sisters took a bus back to the courtyard house.
The courtyard house that her older sister helped her buy is located in the area north of the Fifth Ring Road, which is considered relatively remote.
That's why you can buy a small, three-courtyard house of just over 200 square meters for two million.
After getting off the bus, I followed the older woman and they first walked into a deep alley. After about two hundred meters, they stopped in front of a courtyard house on the left.
Chen Chunhua took out the key to open the door and went in first. Facing her was a screen wall. Going through the inner door, she entered the inner courtyard.
The main house has three rooms, and there are two rooms each in the east and west wing rooms, all of which are kept very clean.
Chen Xihua didn't go to see the back room yet; she was already very satisfied with just what she saw.
Chen Xihua's courtyard house is not too far from Peking University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The three Chen sisters will rest here for the night.
I'll go to school to register tomorrow afternoon, and I need to buy some daily necessities for living in the school dormitory tomorrow morning.
