Chapter 145 - 145

Chapter 145 Does this look like they're arresting speculators?Yun Ting took out a pen and paper from her bag, wrote down the address of her little courtyard, and handed it to her second brother, "Second brother, you can come find me here tomorrow when you have the day off."Yun Huai took it, "Whose house is this?""I'll stay there for now," Yun Ting said vaguely.Turning her head, she met Duan Xingye's aggrieved gaze."Okay, I'll go tomorrow."Yun Huai glanced at Duan Xingye, "Why are you still here?""I'm going to play with Xiaoyun later." Duan Xingye looked at Yun Huai provocatively.Fearing that the two childish kids would start arguing again, Yun Ting quickly interrupted, "Brother, you should go back! We'll talk about it tomorrow. We're leaving now.""Okay, little sister, this wolf cub is no good. Don't be easily fooled by him.""Hey, Yun Huai, are we still brothers?""no…""No, that's fine. Goodbye...""Second brother, take these grapes back and eat them."..."Xiaoyun, I want to go too...""Where to?" Yun Ting pretended not to understand."The address you gave to my second brother.""Oh! You're calling me'Second Brother' now? That little courtyard is a bit far from our school. I'll take you there to get acquainted with it later, okay?"Duan Xingye was finally satisfied."Where to now?""I'm going to my brother's place; I haven't delivered it to him yet!" Yun Ting waved the remaining meat pie and grapes in her hand.Duan Xingye was extremely helpless; his brother-in-law and sister-in-law were both obstacles in his way!When we arrived at the Public Security College, we asked someone to call out to Yun Xu, but we couldn't find him. We heard that he was on vacation and not at school."They went out so early. Oh well, I'll miss out on the food."Yun Ting left him a note, telling him to come to the address on the note when he returned that evening."Is it okay? Let's go see a movie then.""Okay, let's go back and get the bicycle first."Yun Ting first took Duan Xingye back to the courtyard, and then rode a bicycle with her, making it easier to go out.Duan Xingye looked around and said, "This little courtyard is nice. You bought it, didn't you?"Yun Ting wasn't surprised that he knew about the small courtyard he had bought!He knew about buying the Traditional Courtyard Residence before, but he didn't ask for details. Yun Ting likes smart people like him."Yeah, I think it's pretty good. It's not too far from the school. I come back to stay here occasionally on weekends. You can come and find me when you don't have classes."The two didn't stay in the room long; after looking around once, they went to watch a movie.Outside the movie theater, some people are already secretly selling soft drinks, popsicles, peanuts, and melon seeds.Duan Xingye, dressed in a military green uniform, stood ramrod straight beside Yun Ting. With sharp eyes, he spotted someone crouching in the shadows of the corner. The cloth covering the bamboo basket was slightly lifted, revealing soda bubbles and fragrant sunflower seeds from the mouth of a glass bottle.He whispered instructions and walked over with the steady steps characteristic of a soldier. He was only two steps away when the woman selling goods glanced up, saw his uniform, dropped her bag of sunflower seeds with a "thud," and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Comrade! I'll take it right away!"Before she could finish speaking, the woman had already run far away. Suddenly, two young men carrying peanuts darted out from behind a tree. Without even seeing his face clearly, they grabbed their baskets and disappeared into the alley, not even bothering to pick up the half-bag of sunflower seeds that had fallen to the ground.Duan Xingye stood there, still clutching the money he had just pulled out, and turned to Yun Ting with a helpless smile: "This... looks like we're arresting speculators?"Yun Ting was already doubled over with laughter, pointing at the collar insignia still on his military uniform: "Looking like that, it's no wonder people run away!" The wind carried the scent of sunflower seeds over, and Duan Xingyepicked up the bag of sunflower seeds from the ground, dusted it off, and said: "Alright, ready-made, just no soda.""It's okay, freebies are always welcome, haha..."Yun Ting couldn't help but laugh when she thought about what had just happened.There aren't that many movie theaters to choose from these days.Today we're showing "The Eternal Wave".Set against the backdrop of the War of Resistance against Japan and the War of Liberation, the film tells the revolutionary story of Li Xia, an underground member of the Communist Party of China.Despite being under close surveillance and repeatedly searched by the enemy, Li Xiaescaped danger multiple times thanks to her wit and composure.Actually, this was Yun Ting's first time watching this movie, and her emotions rose and fell with the plot.In the later stages of the Liberation War, on the eve of the liberation of Shanghai, Li Xia received an urgent mission to send crucial intelligence to the base area before the enemy breached the city.By this time, his identity had been exposed, and he was surrounded by Spy. In his final moments, he insisted on sending out the intelligence, calmly destroyed the radio, and ultimately sacrificed himself heroically.Sobbing could be heard in the theater, mostly from female comrade.After leaving the movie theater, Yun Ting was a little silent.This was the first time Duan Xingye had seen her like this."Come on, I'll take you to Quanjude for Peking duck...""Sure! I'll order two.""Are you sure? I won't help you if you can't finish it.""Hmph... Just you wait and see."Duan Xingye rode her 26-inch bike, her long legs looking a bit awkward.When we arrived at the roast duck restaurant, the waiter, wearing a white jacket, lifted the blue cloth curtain, and inside, it was noisy with voices."There are quite a lot of people!""Yes, it's always been this lively."Duan Xingye skillfully led Yun Ting to an empty table and made her sit down.The waiter came over with the menu, his voice booming: "Two comrade, would you like half or a whole? With lotus leaf buns, sweet bean sauce, and a plate of scallion and cucumber strips, please?""Two, please..."The waiter paused for a moment, "Two...two?""Yes! Is there a problem?""No...no."He didn't expect that the young man and the little girl would order two roast ducks.While waiting for the roast duck, Yun Tingwatched the chef at the next table slicing the duck. With a light stroke of the knife on the glossy duck skin, golden oil droplets rolled down, making her mouth water.A short while later, the chef brought over the sliced ​​roast duck. The skin was amber-colored, the meat was tender and translucent, and it was still steaming hot.Duan Xingye took a lotus leaf pancake, placed it in his palm, picked up a piece of duck meat with skin on, dipped it in sweet bean sauce, added some shredded scallions and cucumber strips, rolled it up into a small roll, and handed it to Yun Ting's mouth: "Try it, roast duck is only delicious when eaten like this."Yun Ting took a big bite, her eyes immediately curving into crescents, and said indistinctly, "It's so delicious! The crust is crispy and the sauce is sweet."When she rolled it herself, she was so flustered that she smeared sauce on her fingertips. Duan Xingye took out a handkerchief to wipe it off for her, but she took the opportunity to bring her sauce-covered finger to his lips: "Try the sauce too, it's so sweet."Just as Duan Xingye was about to dodge, she laughed and withdrew her hand, licking it herself like a kitten stealing candy. "Just kidding! You thought I'd really let you lick it?"In the end, the two of them actually finished both roast ducks."Do you want to go home now? You finally get a day off, hurry back and see your grandpa and parents.""Little Comrade Yun, are you trying to get rid of me?""I didn't mean that.""You said it yourself, it's a rare day off, so of course you should spend more time with your partner. After all, the trial period isn't over yet! Sigh...""Haha... The revolution is not yet complete,comrade still has a long way to go!"
