Chapter 649 - 645 On the Way to Beijing 01
——————
On the eighth day of the new year, before dawn, Xie Jingchen had already sent his parents, little brother, and nephew off to the county town train station.
It was only after he had settled them into their compartment and ensured there were guards with them, that Xie Jingchen finally left the train.
With Fifth and the guards on the road, Xie Jingchen wasn’t too worried.
After seeing off Mr. Xie and the others, Xie Jingchen returned home with Ma Shan, where the prepared luggage was already laid out in the main hall.
This time, Xie Jingchen planned to drive to Beijing with his wife and children. Their residence in Beijing had been sorted out before the new year, and many of his old subordinates had already taken root there ahead of him.
This time, in addition to Ma Shan, Hu Zhengjie and Yan Jinchang were also heading north with him. The former was officially arranged beforehand, while the latter had invited himself along after learning that his younger sister was returning to Beijing; Yan Jinchang hastily completed his tasks and eagerly came to Qingfeng Village to join his sister and brother-in-law on their journey north.
Now that the country’s policies have improved, travel no longer requires documentation. However, old thoughts have not been completely eradicated; in many places, literacy is still scarce. The fear is encountering bandits or bullies on the road.
