Chapter 306 Arriving in Beijing

A few days later, Xiao Tiantian brought the train tickets. The train was leaving in three days, and there were four sleeper tickets. Xia Chan calculated the time and thought he would still have time to come back and harvest cassava, so he didn't ask his brothers for help.

Now that she no longer has so much to do, she also wants to give her brothers some leisure time.

The night before departure, Xia Chan put the suitcase on the table and began to pack. October is almost winter in the south, and the temperature is even lower now in November. Everyone is wrapped up like a bear. Although it will be better in Beijing, they still need to prepare warm things.

The brothers wanted Xia Chan to take all the good things at home, such as malted milk candies, away with her. Xia Chan hurriedly took out the things and put them back in place. "I have money. I can buy what I need when I get to Beijing. You guys take care of yourselves at home and supervise Brother Qi. Let him have a good rest. Don't worry about the family. I'll be back soon."

Jin Pengyuan closed her box and said, "I'm here. I'll take good care of Xiao Chan. You don't have to worry."

"Also, if irrelevant people come knocking on the door, don't let them in. Even if they come in, don't let them into our house. After all, we have too many good things in our house, and it's easy to arouse envy. Do you understand?" Xia Chan warned worriedly.

When she is at home, she can hide good things in the space at any time, but what should she do when she is not at home? She can only ask her brothers to be more careful.

"Don't worry, we are not children anymore, we understand." Although they knew it was a good thing for them to go to Beijing, a strong reluctance lingered in their hearts.

Xia Chan pointed at Zhou Qizhi and pretended to threaten him, "Especially you, Brother Qi, you better behave yourself. I hope you won't run around when I'm not home."

Although she knew that he was running around just to make herself happy, Xia Chan would not allow him to run around as he had just recovered from a serious injury.

"Don't worry, I won't run away. I'll wait for you at home because I want to see you the first time you come home." Zhou Qizhi looked at Xia Chan and said reluctantly.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, although you are getting older and it is time for you to find a partner, I hope you can open your eyes and learn to distinguish between good and bad. Ignore those girls who approach you actively. I don't want to have a top-notch sister-in-law when I return home. Do you hear me?" Xia Chan said, raising his eyebrows.

Dating is a very interesting thing, and she naturally won't interfere. She just hopes that they can open their eyes and find a good partner instead of just picking someone up for the sake of dating, because this may very likely implicate the whole family.

Xia Bin and Zhou Qizhi still looked indifferent, and it seemed that these two people really had no intention of dating. They would be 24 years old soon after the Chinese New Year, and even in the 21st century, many men would be married at this age, so the two of them might really be left alone.

In the end, Xia Chan packed two suitcases of stuff, one for himself and one for mountain products. Jin Pengyuan didn't have much stuff so he only packed one box.

The next morning, except for Zhou Qizhi who had just recovered from a serious injury and was left at home, the rest of the people sent Xia Chan and Jin Pengyuan down the mountain to meet Xiao Fengfeng and Xiao Tiantian. They rented a ox cart instead of using the team's tractor.

Xia Chan had some disagreements with Fan Qingmei, so they asked Fan Qingmei to take them home on their day off, but Fan Qingmei was reluctant, so they just rented a bullock cart.

The brothers placed the suitcases on the oxcart and told Jin Pengyuan and Xiao Fengfeng to take good care of their sisters. Then they watched the oxcart carrying the four of them leave. Since the train ticket was after lunch, they did not need to rush.

And this ticket is a good deal. I got on the bus in the afternoon and arrived at the destination twenty hours later. I also got off the bus in the afternoon. It was really wonderful. When they arrived at the bus station in the town, the two brothers carried the luggage onto the bus. Xia Chan and Xiao Tiantian went up to take seats. Xia Chan wanted to sit with Xiao Tiantian. After all, it wouldn't be awkward for two girls to sit together. But Xiao Tiantian wanted to sit with Jin Pengyuan, so Xia Chan could only sit with Xiao Fengfeng. Xia Chan looked at Xiao Fengfeng and smiled awkwardly.

Sitting in the car, I saw many people packing up along the way. Three cities cannot be rebuilt in just one month, and it is winter now, so houses cannot be built, but it is still possible to do some other things.

Although this place is not prosperous, Xia Chan still feels sad when she sees the streets becoming more desolate than before. She just hopes that such things will not happen again in the future, but it is unlikely.

However, with her and Xiao Yunfan working together, they can save more people in the future.

After getting off the bus, the four of them went to a state-owned restaurant, had a simple meal, packed some steamed buns, each filled a thermos with hot water, and then went to the train station.

After four rooms arrived and got on the bus, the two girls, Xia Chan and Xiao Tiantian, slept in the middle bunk, while the two brothers, Jin Pengyuan and Xiao Fengfeng, slept in the lower bunk. This way they would be the first to know if anything happened and could protect their sisters.

They were in the sleeper car. Each compartment had a door. Once the door was closed, they could just sleep without being disturbed by others. In this way, they ate, drank, defecated, urinated, and slept until they arrived at the railway station in Beijing.

After squeezing out of the crowded train station, Xia Chan said, "Tiantian, please take us to the guesthouse first. It's not good for us to come here so haggard. The first impression is especially important. We can't let my fourth brother die before he succeeds!"

Xiao Tiantian thought about it and felt that what Xia Chan said was right. They had been on the train for more than twenty hours and looked very haggard and dishevelled, and had no energy at all. It was indeed not suitable for them to meet their elders.

She also hoped that Jin Pengyuan could leave a good impression on his family so that they could get married earlier. After all, she would be twenty-one soon and could not delay it any longer.

"Okay, then we'll send you to the guesthouse to settle down, and then come to pick you up home tomorrow morning." Xiao Tiantian said.

"No need to come in the morning, just come at noon." Xia Chan was planning to take her fourth brother to buy some gifts for the elders of the Xiao family. How could they go empty-handed on their first visit?
"Okay, then we'll come over at noon to pick you up and take you home for dinner."

After coming out of the train station, everyone got on the bus to Beijing. There were a lot of people here and the bus was very crowded. Fortunately, there were two brothers protecting the two girls, otherwise they would definitely be squeezed into a meat patty.

The transportation in the urban area of ​​Beijing is convenient, so Xiao Fengfeng and Xiao Tiantian did not contact their family to pick them up. After all, it is not easy for the family to borrow a car, so they would rather not trouble others if possible.

When they arrived near the guesthouse, Xiao Fengfeng and Xiao Tiantian took Xia Chan and Jin Pengyuan to check in. They each asked for a room, which was just opposite, with an aisle of one or two meters in between. If they had any problems, they could just shout.

Xiao Fengfeng and Xiao Tiantian helped them settle down and then went home first.

"Fourth brother, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things! No matter whether we can be together or not, we should be polite when visiting for the first time." Xia Chan walked to the other side, knocked on the door, and said to the person inside.
