“Yes, '5+1',” Chen Xihua said with a smile.
Chen Baohua smiled with satisfaction.
The three older sisters also showed varying degrees of joy and emotion on their faces.
Because of Xiao Wu, the lives of her siblings underwent a dramatic change.
Even after falling asleep that night, Chen Baohua was still talking in her sleep: "Fifth Sister, I'm so happy."
The next day, July 21, Chen Xihua and her four siblings began their return journey to Gaoyang County.
Although Chen Baohua was a little reluctant to part with her, as if he hadn't had enough fun, he also knew that his second sister would be going back to the army after this short trip home.
This trip, along with the advice from his fifth sister about broadening his horizons and perspectives, has greatly changed Chen Baohua, giving him a broader vision.
But within a day, Chen Xiaoliu contradicted himself.
On the way home, Chen Jinhua was driving, and it was relatively fast.
At 3 p.m., we returned to the northern district of Gaoyang County, at the corner of the road near the textile factory.
"Xiao Wu, can we just park the car anywhere?" Chen Jinhua asked as he slowly stopped the car.
"Yes, it's fine to park on the side of the road. My older sister needs to go to Fanghua Garment Factory tonight, and she'll drive there after that," Chen Xihua explained simply.
On the way home from Yun City, she sat in the front, while the three people behind her were so sleepy that they slept the whole way.
"Fifth Sister, there's a man over there with a camera, taking all sorts of pictures just like you."
Chen Baohua, who was by the car window, had already woken up. He looked outside and said loudly.
Actually, the three people in the back row were also awake.
"I saw it!" Chen Xihua had just noticed it.
He was a man in his thirties, not tall, but with a sharp look in his eyes, and a camera hanging around his neck.
He walked slowly, admiring or observing the buildings on both sides of the road, and taking pictures from time to time.
Somewhat like photography enthusiasts, many of these artistic young people appeared around this time, but Chen Xihua didn't pay much attention to them.
Not far away, Wu Liangsheng looked at the black Santana that had stopped and was a little surprised. This car was not cheap, and it was a new car.
He has been in Gaoyang County for two days and has basically investigated everything that outsiders know about the Chen family.
When Master Lu found him, he spoke so seriously. He thought it was something difficult; wasn't it just that he couldn't use special methods to investigate the Chen family's privacy?
The obvious stuff is so simple. Just take a stroll around the residential area and you'll know everything.
However, the Chen siblings went out to play and he hasn't seen them yet; one of them is still at school and hasn't returned.
Here, after the car stopped, Chen Xihua and her four siblings got out of the car one by one.
"Hey, Third Sister, you're home too... Where are we?... We're almost home, by the textile factory road!"
Chen Xihua had just gotten out of the car when she received a call from her third sister.
In the past few days, Chen San San has called to ask about their schedules, but she didn't mention that she herself had just returned home.
The five sisters, carrying their purchases from the provincial capital, chatted and laughed as they walked toward the family quarters.
Along the way, Wu Liangsheng, who was following slowly, had a strange expression on his face and his eyes narrowed.
There were four very pretty young women, who were also quite tall for Gaoyang County. There was also a boy who looked to be about ten years old.
Each of the five individuals has their own unique characteristics, and walking along the road, they resemble a beautiful scene.
The Chen siblings? For some reason, Wu Liangsheng's first instinct was that they were the people he needed to investigate.
He quickened his pace, picked up his camera again, and casually began taking pictures without making a sound.
"Chen Xiaowu, you guys are so mean! You left me all behind! Ugh, I'm so unhappy, so very unhappy, I'm so angry..."
Just then, Chen Meihua jogged towards us. Her features were angry, yet she was also alluring. Her delicate, angry voice could be heard from afar.
"Heh, you mistress, you've already sold yourself to the boss of Fenghua Entertainment Company. Instead of working properly, you want to go out and have fun. Do you want to be blacklisted?" Chen Jinhua said disdainfully as he looked at Chen San San who ran over.
This was completely different from her usual composed, taciturn, and reserved demeanor in the military.
"Hmph, you Chen Lao Er, you're really infuriating! Big sister, look at her." Seeing Chen Jinhua, whom she hadn't seen for two years, Chen San San hesitated, but still didn't call her a "tomboy."
Chen Lao Er, who works at the pastry shop, sneezed twice in a row: Who insulted him?
"Isn't that right? What about the 10 billion yuan penalty for breach of contract? You can't escape it in thirty years." Chen Jinhua started gloating again. Xiao Wu is really clever; he got Chen San San under his thumb in one move.
"Alright, second sister, stop teasing third sister." Chen Chunhua tugged at Chen Jinhua's hand, a little helpless, but without any intention of blaming her.
The scenes of the two arguing in the past immediately came to mind, and she felt quite warm about them now.
"Hmph, I don't want to talk to you, Xiao Wu, you talk!" Chen San San walked closer and stopped, glanced at Chen Jin Hua, then stared at Chen Xi Hua, relentlessly pressing her for an answer.
"Third sister, didn't you say you couldn't make it back in time?" Chen Baohua interjected.
"Yes," Chen Xiuhua nodded.
"Third sister, I told you in advance that you just didn't have time. Besides, second sister is back, and there's no room in the car anymore."
Chen Xihua looked at her third sister, who was glaring at her angrily, and wanted to look up at the sky. Her second and third sisters were arguing, and she didn't want to be dragged into it.
"Third sister, how about next time?"
"So it's settled then? We won't be bringing Chen Jinhua."
"...."
A few minutes later, when Chen Xihua and her six siblings returned to the entrance of the residential area, they encountered a group of elderly women gossiping at the entrance.
“Look at Li Yumei’s family, all five of her daughters are beautiful and graceful. They’re such treasures! They’ve all been sent to school, and now they even have money to go out and have fun.”
"Hey, reporter Wu, come here."
You want to learn about the local customs and interesting stories of Gaoyang County, right?
"What other inspiring people and stories are there? Li Yumei's family is quite inspiring." Li Juan, with her sharp eyes, spotted Reporter Wu, who had appeared in the family quarters several times in the past two days, and called out to him.
He said he came from Beijing and was traveling around taking photos.
"Yes, yes, oh dear, Li Yumei is back too. They're all here. Reporter Wu, you'll know more if you interview them directly."
When Aunt Zhao saw Li Yumei standing in the distance and had stopped, she also shouted loudly.
Li Yumei, who had a bad feeling, originally wanted to go home early to cook.
At that moment, she really didn't want to go over there; a bunch of gossipy women.
And what are those maids doing there? Don't they know they should just turn around and leave?
It wasn't that Chen Xihua and the others didn't want to leave, but several older women blocked their way, and the reporter, Wu, had already come up in front of them.
"Reporter Wu, go ahead and ask. Why is Li Yumei's family willing to send several daughters to high school and university?"
Actually, it's so that... when they get married, they can get a bigger dowry, at least 20,000 yuan!
"Li Yumei, don't you think so?"
"Reporter Wu, wouldn't you say this is a very inspiring family?" Li Juan said with a sinister and malicious expression.
Wu Liangsheng's eyes immediately lit up, but he did not take a picture immediately.
But his expression clearly showed that he didn't ask the Chen siblings. Instead, he turned to Li Yumei, who had walked over, and asked, "Sister Li, is that really true?"
The Chen sisters were in a rather awkward situation; Li Yumei was also filled with anger and frustration.
Chen Xihua was about to explain when, for some unknown reason, Chen Baohua shouted angrily.
"Isn't it wrong to ask for a bride price? Is 20,000 a lot? You can ask for 100,000."
Chen Baohua's expression was fierce because he immediately realized that all five of his older sisters were getting married.
I felt even more apprehensive.
He especially didn't want his fifth sister to get married; his family didn't need a brother-in-law.
He's grown up and can now stand up for his five older sisters.
"Leaving aside the bride price, even after the wedding, all the family's money will be handed over to my sisters for safekeeping," Chen Baohua said sharply, as if she had just thought of something.
His eyes were red; in their family, it was the mother who managed the money.
My fifth sister once said that men with money tend to go bad.
"Fifth sister, don't you agree? Otherwise, none of you would agree to get married!" Chen Baohua's eyes were filled with fear and pleading; he really didn't want his sisters to get married.
