Shu Hui felt that this was her mother's intention, "No matter how good things are outside, they can't compare to those at home."
"Mom, don't bring so much for my sister. It's tiring enough. It's not like my sister is short of money. She can just buy whatever she wants in Beijing. Aren't the things in Beijing better than those in Deyang?" Chu Xiang chimed in.
Chu Yu took out all sorts of random things, and Shu Hui secretly stuffed them into the package.
"Mom was worried about leaving you alone. I should have sent you there myself."
The roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop was busy, and Dezhong started school early. If Shu Hui left, all the business would have to be left to Deng Fangping. The two of them were partners in business, so they couldn't do things that way. After thinking it over, she decided to have Chu Xiang send Chu Yu to Beijing, while she stayed home to run the shop and make money.
Chu Yu also brought Shen Zhuyu along, hoping to take the opportunity to show her around the clothing market in Beijing. The three girls traveling together would be quite relaxing. It wasn't that no one was carrying Chu Yu's luggage, but she just wanted to make things easier for herself.
"Mom, we were planning to take you to Beijing for a stroll, but you didn't come with us. Are you disappointed?" Chu Yu asked.
"Mom isn't disappointed. Next year, Chu Xiang will go to Beijing for her college entrance exam, and I'll go to Beijing with your aunt to see you. Later, Yunyun, Chu Chu, and Xiao Jiang will also go to Beijing for their college entrance exams, so we can travel there every year," Shu Hui said with a smile.
Chu Yu nodded. Opportunities come every year. Chu Xiang will take the exam in Beijing next year, and the two sisters can look after each other.
"Sister, isn't Brother Dai going to take you there?"
“He went to Guangdong Province on a business trip and flew back to Beijing from Guangdong. We arranged to meet in Beijing.”
The stench of sweat in the train carriage made Chu Yu hesitate to go in, but fortunately Dai Donglin bought them soft sleeper tickets. It was a bit expensive, costing nearly two hundred yuan for the three tickets, but lying down was definitely more comfortable than sitting. Spending more money to suffer less is the meaning of making money.
It was Chu Xiang's first time traveling far from home, and she was sleeping in a soft sleeper. She looked around excitedly.
After putting the blanket away, Chu Xiang climbed into the shop.
"Sis, the sleeper berth is so comfortable. If Chu Chu knew that I could get to Beijing in one sleep, she would be so envious."
Chu Chu insisted on coming along, but Shu Hui, worried that she would hold her back, refused to let her. She promised to take Chu Xiang to Beijing for a trip next year if Chu Xiang got into university. Chu Yu then gave Chu Chu ten yuan, and only then did Chu Chu give up.
A middle-aged woman pushed open the door and, seeing the three of them talking, casually asked:
"Do the three of you know each other?"
Chu Xiang said proudly, "Yes, we sent my sister to study in Beijing."
It would be a lie to say that a middle-aged woman wasn't surprised. A sleeper car on a train—you can buy a ticket if you have money.
Having money isn't enough; you also need connections. This family bought three tickets at once, wiping out a year's salary, and yet they didn't even realize there was anything wrong with it.
What school does your sister attend?
"Tsinghua University."
Chu Xiang's pride was obvious. The middle-aged woman looked surprised. It is much more difficult for girls to get into university than for boys because many families will give their only family resources to boys. Chu Yu's ability to get into Tsinghua University's Computer Science Department is undoubtedly an achievement.
She looked at Chu Yu in the lower bunk opposite her, and just one glance left her speechless with shock.
