Hu Jie couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it. He then took a can of malted milk powder from the cabinet and handed it to Grandma Xia, saying, "Auntie, please take this for Xiang Hong. I got it directly from a factory in another city, and it's half the price of what the supply and marketing cooperative sells. It's perfect for Xiang Hong to nourish her body."

This time, Grandma Xia couldn't refuse and had no choice but to stuff it into her luggage.

Xiao Hu is such a generous kid.

Grandma Xia had a bit more luggage now, and Chen Xiangnan felt like he could barely carry it anymore.

Hu Jie was about to try to force it in, but Chen Xiangnan helped Grandma Xia refuse, saying that if he tried any further, his back would break.

Under Hu Jie's regretful gaze, Chen Xiangnan struggled forward carrying two large bags.

Fortunately, the train station wasn't far from here.

At the crowded train station, Chen Xiangnan followed Grandma Xia to buy tickets and then squeezed onto the train.

This was the first time in his life he had ever taken a train. The last time he came to the train station was to see his sister off to the countryside.

After putting his things down, Chen Xiangnan looked around and touched everything. It was so novel! So this is what it feels like to ride a train. It must be very tiring.

In contrast, Old Mrs. Xia seemed very relaxed. Bringing her second son along was a good decision; otherwise, an old woman like her wouldn't have been able to handle so much stuff.

As the train slowly started moving, they were getting further and further away from City C.

Chen Xianghong was sent to Lijia Village Brigade, which was not far from City C, but it still took a day and a night by train.

Chen Xiangnan couldn't take it anymore after taking the train in the morning until evening. His butt hurt so much. If he had known this job would be so miserable, he would never have come.

He regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself a few times to stop talking so fast.

Grandma Xia went to the restroom, so he kept an eye on the luggage. The train was crowded with people from all over the country; if someone stole their things, they'd have nowhere to turn for help.

"Ah—" A scream silenced the noisy carriage. Grandma Xia had just returned from the toilet and was startled.

The scream came from the girl walking in front of her, who was now blushing and angrily grabbing a man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, shouting, "You touched me!"

The man slapped her hand away immediately. "Nonsense! I'm standing right here. What makes you think it's me?"

The girl said angrily, "It was you! You were following me all the way from the restroom to here. It must have been you."

A concerned passenger who witnessed the incident also spoke up for the girl, saying, "I saw it too. It was you. You kept staring at that girl's butt and then you touched her."

The man still denied it after being exposed. What a joke! If he had actually admitted it, what if he had been arrested for indecent assault?

"Anyway, it wasn't me. Who knows if you guys who helped her are in cahoots with her?"

Grandma Xia had just finished using the toilet and hadn't even dried her hands yet when she was given a good show.

Although Chen Xiangnan couldn't stand it anymore, she was almost going crazy too. This train ride was indeed unbearable. She and Lao Er had been staring at each other all day, and she had reached the point where she was annoyed just seeing his face.

Seeing that there were people watching the excitement, Grandma Xia immediately squeezed in. She was engrossed in the show. She was very tired after sitting on the train all day, but with the excitement to watch, Grandma Xia felt like she could do it again.

She rummaged around here and there, pushing and shoving, asking the people next to her what had happened, before she finally understood what had happened.

As more and more people gathered around, the man became irritated. "What are you all looking at? What's it to you? Are you in cahoots with her to extort money from me?"

"I said I didn't touch you, and that's it. This young girl is accusing me without any evidence. She's shameless."

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately blushed; it was clearly him who had touched her.

The man glanced at the elderly woman, Xia, jumping around, and said, "What are you doing, old lady? Why are you so agitated? Are you trying to extort money from me too? Are you in cahoots with her? Society is full of scum like you, which is why there are so many wrongful convictions. Anyway, I didn't touch her. Maybe it was you, maybe it was you, or maybe it was you."
