Chapter 197 - 197

Chapter 197 Encountering a RobberyThe four of them had a meal together, but Gao Xudong had other things to do, so they all went their separate ways.When do you plan to leave for home to pick up your aunt and uncle?"I'll go back tomorrow.""I'll buy you a ticket! A soft sleeper will be more comfortable. Are you the only one going back? Is your older brother going back too?""He didn't say. I'll ask him when I get back, and I'll buy the tickets this afternoon!""Okay, I'm not in a hurry to leave."Yun Ting was unaware that upon returning to the courtyard, she would see an unexpected person as soon as she entered."Little brother, when did you get back?""Second Sister..."Then, seeing Duan Xingye following behind, she called out, " Brother Xingye...""I just got back today. I graduated, so I went back to school for a visit."Duan Xingye smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Long time no see, you've gotten quite a bit stronger."" Brother Xingye, I also insist on exercising every day.""Look at you, I knew you went on a business trip with your master, but I would have thought you went to escape a disaster. You don't even know how to get your hair done.""Hehe, I didn't have time, I'll go in a bit."Have you eaten yet?"I ate with my classmates before coming back.""Did my older brother come over just now?""I didn't see her. When I came back, I saw Older Female Cousin. She went to the store."Where were you assigned to work after graduation?"In Capital City, my master told me to follow him.""Alright! Good lad, don't forget to thank him properly for his help.""I know."Yun Ting had been thinking that if she didn't get assigned to Capital City, she could ask Duan Xingye for help! It seems she won't need to now.When should I report for official work?"No rush, I'm not busy right now. My master told me to rest for a while before we talk about it.""That's perfect! I need to go back and pick up my parents and my sister-in-law's children to come over here. You can come back with me!""Are Mom, Dad, and my sister-in-law coming over?""Yes, now that our eldest brother is here, how can we let them stay at home forever?""Yeah, is there enough room?""You don't need to worry about that, your older brother has already bought a house.""Wow...goodness gracious! Big brother has only been here for half a year and he's already bought a house?" Yun Xu was incredibly surprised."Hmph... What do you think? Second Brother is getting married too. After Mom and Dad come over, we'll be going to Heilongjiang Province for his wedding. Are you coming or not?""Go...of course I'll go."What did he miss during his six-month internship, traveling around with his mentor?"Okay, then there's no need for you to go back, the two of us will do."So the siblings made the decision happily, excluding their older brother without even asking him.In the afternoon, Duan Xingye drove them to the train station to buy tickets. Using his military officer ID, he managed to get two soft sleeper tickets.I bought my ticket and was just about to get back on the train.Then I heard someone shout, "Robbery!"Amidst the throng of people, a young man was seen running frantically with a bag in his hand, presumably having stolen it.Yun Xu reacted quickly, taking off after the man and kicking him to the ground, sending him sprawling face-first into the dirt..."Good..." The crowd cheered."Take him to the police station immediately, he's utterly despicable..."Yun Xu picked the person up, took out the bag, and found a work ID inside. It belonged to a female comrade named Liao Ling.That's right, she's Grandma Zou's granddaughter, but they don't know each other.Liao Ling quickly ran over, panting." Comrade, thank you so much, this is my bag.""What is your name?"Liao Ling was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other person probably wanted to confirm that the bag was hers. " Liao Ling, I was on a business trip to the next province and just got back."After confirming that it was correct, Yun Xureturned the bag to her."Thank you so much! Could you tell me where you work so I can come and thank you in person?""No need, it's my duty." Yun Xu turned around and was about to take the robber to the police station when railway police arrived, so he handed him over to them."Is this young man a police officer?""I think so. His movements and skills clearly show he's trained. He just said it was his duty!"Liao Ling kept this in mind."Well done! Young man, you're getting better and better," Yun Ting joked.Yun Xu blushed with embarrassment."Second sister, please don't make fun of me.""I'm telling the truth, what you did just now was so cool, I'm so proud of you."Duan Xingye suddenly regretted it. If only he had shown off his skills earlier, Xiaoyun would be praising him now! What a blunder!...Duan Xingye also cooked dinner, and Yun Tingspecially invited Zhou Zhiyong and his wife to come over for dinner as well.He used to be a soldier under Duan Xingye, so it's a good opportunity for them to catch up."Brother, what have you been busy with today? You didn't even come over for lunch.""I've gone to get some things for the other side of the yard. Once Mom, Dad, and your sister-in-law arrive, they can move in right away.""Oh! Big brother is so thoughtful!""My little brother's back?""Yes, big brother, I'll go home with my second sister to pick up Mom and Dad tomorrow.""Okay, I'll go back with you, brother, don't worry."When Zhou Zhiyong brought Wang Xiaoyingover, they didn't come empty-handed; they bought canned goods and two bottles of wine."Look at you two, I invited you over for a meal, and you still want to buy things? You're being so formal," Yun Ting said irritably."Hehe, it's nothing, it won't cost much."When Zhou Zhiyong saw Duan Xingye walking out wearing an apron, he was so surprised that he forgot to greet her."Zhiyong, it's been a while, don't you recognize me?""Battalion...Battalion Commander." Zhou Zhiyong quickly saluted him."Alright, we're all brothers, no need for this.""Come, come, sit down! Don't be shy, there's plenty of food!"Zhou Zhiyong and Wang Xiaoying were still a little reserved, but they were quickly warmed up by their joking atmosphere and gradually relaxed."Zhiyong, are you settling in well here?""Battalion Commander, it's great. The boss treats us all very well, the work isn't tiring, and the salary is high.""Call me Hoshino. There is no battalion commander here.""Haha! Zhiyong, only Regiment Leader Duan is left here." Yun Zhao rarely cracked a joke.Zhou Zhiyong exclaimed in surprise, "The battalion commander has been promoted to regimental commander? That's great!"Duan Xingye shook his head helplessly, "Stop teasing me. We're all brothers and family here.""Come on, everyone, try this wine. I made it myself before. It's delicious and not very strong."Yun Ting poured drinks for everyone, but when it came to Wang Xiaoying, she stopped her, saying, "Boss, I won't drink this.""It's alright, Xiaoying, this level of alcohol won't make you drunk.""Boss, Xiaoying is pregnant, she can't drink."Zhou Zhiyong explained for his wife, seeing that she was too embarrassed to speak up."Oh? You got it? That's great news! Congratulations!""Thanks…""Xiaoying, are you going to rest early?""No, boss, can I work for a few months and then take a break?""Of course, just let me know in advance when you want to take leave, I need to hire someone.""good.""But you need to take good care of your own health. If you feel too tired, don't push yourself. It's okay to take a break early. You can come back to work whenever you want after you give birth.""Thank you, boss. I really don't know what to say.""You really want to thank me? Then you shouldn't call me boss anymore, right?""Haha..." Everyone else was amused by her words.
