Chapter 46 46. Old Man Qiao Goes to Beijing

The green train clanged into the Beijing Railway Station. Old Man Qiao and his companions looked at the three big words "Beijing Station" outside the window and were extremely excited.

The two-day long journey did not make them tired at all. Everyone, including the youngest Qiao Erni, was excited.

"Mom, are we here?" Qiao Dani leaned in Zhang Cuihua's arms and asked with her head raised.

"We're here, we're here, and you'll see your aunt in a while." Zhang Cuihua's voice was full of joy, and she stretched her neck to look out the window, although she couldn't see anything now.

Old Man Qiao asked everyone to take their luggage and look after the children, and then got off the train with the crowd.

Qiao Zhenzhen did not wait at the exit this time, but bought a platform ticket to enter, because she was worried that it was the first time for Qiao Laodi and his family to go out far away, and they were afraid that something might happen.

So, when Qiao Laodi got off the train, he saw his beloved daughter and her family welcoming them on the platform.

"Dad, you have worked hard, let's go to eat first, and then we will go home." Qiao Zhenzhen took the luggage from Qiao Laodi's hand and greeted Qiao Laodi and his family enthusiastically.

"Zhenzhen, this capital city is really big, this train station alone is as big as our village." Qiao's mother walked beside her daughter and sighed again and again.

"The people in Beijing are dressed so stylishly, and everyone looks like the leaders of our town."

"I just saw a few foreigners with blond hair, and they seemed to be on the same train as us. Their skin is so white, like ghosts."

......

Everyone was talking to each other, and it was very lively.

When they arrived at the exit, Qiao Zhenzhen took them to a brand new minibus, which was a business car of the chili factory, which could accommodate 20 people at a time. Qiao Zhenzhen borrowed it specifically to entertain Qiao Laodi and his friends. Jiang Erge also assigned her a driver, and Qiao Laodi followed them during his time in Beijing.

When the driver, Master Li, saw Qiao Zhenzhen and the others coming, he enthusiastically helped to carry the luggage into the car, saying a welcoming word.

"Dad, this is Master Li, who will be driving for us these few days." Qiao Zhenzhen introduced.

Old man Qiao quickly stepped forward to shake hands, and handed Master Li a pack of cigarettes, saying "I'm sorry for the hard work these days." Master Li felt that the boss's family was really polite, and smiled.

It was the first time for Dad and Mom to come to Beijing, and Qiao Zhenzhen specially arranged for them to have a meal at the International Hotel, which was the highest standard of reception.

When Qiao's mother heard this, she quickly said, "What? Go to where the foreigners live? No, let's just go home and eat. To be honest, I was a little scared when I saw those foreigners at the train station just now."

"Mom, this is the capital of our China, our own territory, we can eat wherever we want, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"We said before we came here, we will listen to my little sister's arrangements, if you are afraid, stand behind me, I will protect you." Qiao San Ge still wanted to see the world at the Foreign Guest International Hotel, so he quickly helped to comfort Qiao's mother.

Not only Brother Qiao San wanted to go, but others also wanted to go. Zhang Cuihua also silently told herself in her heart that she must remember what she saw and heard along the way, and then brag about it to others when she returned.
