Chapter 471: Chapter 471: A Joyful Gathering for Hosts and Guests

Another round of thank yous, this meal was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

In the evening, when they returned to their lodgings, they began to pack their baggage.

The office on the other side is still a dilapidated warehouse, Lin Chuxia suggested Jia Liang to stay in a guesthouse, and to move over once the place is tidied up.

Jia Liang didn’t mind, claiming that it’s more comfortable to live there alone than in the messy guesthouse.

On their return journey, Liu Guoqiang suggested that Lin Chuxia and the other women could take the train back, and that he, Hou Xiaobao, and Master Xu could manage by themselves.

All three of them could drive, and Master Xu could take over when tired, and having three men was enough to safeguard the truck.

Wang Tianxue shook his head first, "I’ll follow the truck. There’s space at the back, I can sit there. I’ve followed trucks before, so I do have some experience."

Lin Chuxia didn’t plan to take the train either. The truck was carrying goods worth more than 30,000 yuan. Honestly, even though she now owned factories and shops, from buying and renovating the properties to now, her money had dwindled to almost nothing.

Buying that warehouse yesterday had depleted her last reserves.

It seems that after her rebirth, except for the first few months, Lin Chuxia had never been this poor, and she was worried about losing the goods.

Both of them not taking the train, Liu Na wouldn’t go alone either.

Thus, early in the morning, they checked out, taking their luggage to the truck.

Jia Liang had slept in the truck, and was already up, "Mr. Lin, I’ve checked everything, no issues."

"Good, thank you for your hard work here in Rong City these past days, use that money first, I’ll send more later."

"Understood, Mr. Lin."

The flatbed truck they rented had two rows of seats in the cab, and could fit six people tightly.

But Lin Chuxia and the other women chose to sit in the truck bed instead.

Knowing they were transporting apparels, Aunt Fang had found a truck with a canopy, which created a little space at the back.

Although it was bumpier back there, it was comparably comfortable to the smell of gasoline in the cab.

In other words, neither place was comfortable.

It was better to make everyone else a bit freer, and more convenient for the men.

Lin Chuxia and Wang Tianxue sorted out the clothes in the back of the truck a bit, created some space, and sat more comfortably on top of the clothes.

It was peak summer, the air outside was dry and hot, and driving brought in occasional breezes, which was much more comfortable than six people cramped in the cab.

At that time, cars did not have air conditioning.

Their trip here by train took over thirty hours, and although driving themselves this time wasn’t necessarily faster than the train, it was even slower in fact.

Setting aside the roughness of the highways, they also had no plans to drive through the night.

The first day went smoothly; they had started at a little past five in the morning, eating dry food along the way. The three drivers took turns driving until they reached a guesthouse in a small county safely by eight in the evening.

Along the way, Lin Chuxia and the others in the truck bed swayed and bounced around, chatted, played cards, and even took a nap, not feeling overly burdened by the journey.

The county town wasn’t big, and had only this one guesthouse, a row of rooms, and a large courtyard, which was just right for parking the truck.

Lin Chuxia asked Monkey, "How’s it going, tired after today?"

"Not really, I managed a nap after driving, didn’t feel very tired."

With the three of them sitting in the back, it had left the back row of the cab empty.
