Chapter 137 - 137

Chapter 137 Being TargetedAfter finishing her dumplings, Duan Xingyechatted with Yun Ting for a while."I'll come back a few days before school starts. I'll have some time off then, so I can take you out to play."Where to go for fun?"We'll talk about it when you get back. Be careful on the road. Have you bought your train ticket?""I bought it. It's for the 7 a.m. train tomorrow."Duan Xingye nodded without saying much, but he had already made up his mind to change Little Girl's hard seat to a sleeper berth."Alright, I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving now, you can go back!"Duan Xingye accompanied her directly to the bus stop. The bus arrived shortly after, and before she boarded, he slipped some money into Yun Ting's pocket.Yun Ting was about to say something when he interrupted her, "Sweetie~ Buy whatever you want, consider it a gift from me."Watching the bus drive away, Duan Xingyereturned to school.Yun Ting returned to her courtyard and took out the money and coupons that Duan Xingye had given her. She felt that there was quite a lot! After counting, she found that there was 220 yuan, as well as five national grain coupons, three sugar coupons, and two cloth coupons."This guy gave it all to me?"She put the money and notes away carefully, since she didn't need them anyway, she'd just leave them there for now!Lock the door and enter the space.She only had the chance to enter the space when she stayed here on weekends while at school; she wouldn't enter the space at other times while at school.Now, the fruit trees in the space are laden with fruit, and the animals confined on the other side are frolicking around. The warehouse is overflowing with chicken, duck, and goose eggs. I'll buy some larger jars another day to pickle salted duck eggs.With nothing else to do, Yun Ting cooked another pot of tea eggs, using chicken, duck, and goose eggs together. She had tried it before and they all tasted just as good, but she preferred the goose eggs because they were bigger and more satisfying to eat.The next day, when Yun Ting arrived at the station, the platform was already crowded with people carrying luggage, and the summer heat mixed with the smell of coal smoke hit her face.She tightened her canvas bag over her shoulder, preparing to follow the flow of people to get her ticket checked." Yun Ting …" Suddenly she heard someone call her name, the voice clear through the noisy crowd.She turned around abruptly and saw Duan Xingye wearing a faded military green training uniform, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, striding towards her, carrying something in his hand.The morning light fell on his shoulders, making his features exceptionally sharp. "Why are you here?" She was surprised and a little stunned; she really hadn't expected him to come."No matter how busy I am, I still have time to see my girlfriend off." He took the bag from her hand, weighed it in his hand, and then casually took the net bag hanging on her arm as well. "Give me the ticket."Confused, Yun Ting handed over her ticket, only to see him turn and walk towards the duty room, whispering a few words to the person inside. A short while later, he returned with a brand-new ticket and stuffed it into her hand: "Changed to a soft sleeper, it'll be quieter, and I can get a good night's sleep.""How can this be? It's so difficult to get a soft sleeper berth. Are you abusing your power?" He chuckled lightly, his fingertips slightly cool, his eyes filled with undeniable seriousness: "Take it. There are many people on the road, and a soft sleeper berth is safer. Call me when you get home.""Also, these are steamed buns and sugar-coated sesame cakes that I just bought, as well as soy milk. We'll drink them while they're hot later."Yun Ting stuck out her tongue, "Thank goodness it wasn't a fermented mung bean drink I bought...""Heh~ I knew you didn't like it, so I didn't buy it for you."The announcements on the platform began urging passengers to have their tickets checked…"I have to go."He helped her carry her luggage to the door of the sleeper car and carefully gave her a few more instructions. Only when the train whistled did he step back onto the platform and wave to her through the window.The sleeper berth was so comfortable. I returned to familiar surroundings peacefully without encountering any problems.Yun Ting didn't tell her family she was arriving today, but unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out of the station, she saw her father looking around.She excitedly called out, "Dad... I'm here."Father Yun looked in the direction of the sound and, seeing his daughter, happily ran over.Father Yun first looked his daughter up and down, "You've grown taller...""Dad, how did you know I was coming back today?""Your second brother called me and said that Dad is off today, so he came to pick you up."Actually, Father Yun didn't just happen to be resting; he took a day off in lieu of another person's leave. But there's no need to tell your daughter about that.Father Yun took the luggage from her hands. It wasn't heavy; she had only brought two sets of clothes, two bags of milk candy, and eight delicacies of the capital from Capital City to bring back for her family to try, along with a bag of apples. If it weren't for the hot weather and the difficulty in explaining bringing roast duck, she would have liked to bring a few back as well."Dad's bicycle is parked outside, let's go."Father Yun rode his bicycle home with his daughter in tow."Dad, is everything alright at home?""I'm fine! Just focus on your studies and take good care of yourselves. Don't worry about things at home."" Are you getting used to life in Capital City?""Dad, when are you free to bring Mom over? I'll take you to see the flag-raising ceremony and climb the Great Wall...""Oh dear... I don't have time for that while I'm at work!" Father Yun actually wanted to go, but then he thought better of it. He had to go to work! The children were studying there; wouldn't he just be causing trouble if he went?Yun Ting didn't continue to persuade them; she would find a way to get them to come over when the time came.Next, Yun Ting told Father Yun some funny stories from school, which made Father Yunlaugh out loud."Hey... Old Yun, what's the good news? Why are you so happy?""I'm picking up my little daughter! She's back from summer vacation."Yun Ting peeked out and greeted her with a smile, " Aunt Fang, going to buy groceries?""Hey, the university student is back!""Haha... You're back! Come over sometime!""Okay."Even after the father and daughter had walked away, Aunt Fang was still stunned!"Qiu Hong, what are you looking at?" anotherold woman walked over and asked."Hey, let me tell you, Old Yun's little girl is back from vacation. Oh my, the water in Capital Cityreally makes people swoon! That girl is so fair-skinned and looks even more radiant. The Yun family must be incredibly lucky; their children are all so successful. I'm so envious!"The old woman's mind raced. "Their son and daughter aren't dating yet, are they?""Come on! Stop thinking about it. They go to college in Capital City, so they'll definitely find someone there. Why would they be interested in someone worse than them?"Fang Qiuhong may have been envious, but she wasn't that clueless.He thought to himself that this person was probably a toad trying to eat swan meat.He turned around and left to buy groceries.The woman's surname was Du, and her husband's surname was Ma. She had just been thinking about it. Although her nephew wasn't a university student, he was a worker in a textile factory! What's the difference?No matter how well a girl studies, she still has to get married.She was convinced it would work and planned to talk to her nephew about it.Yun Ting was unaware that she was being targeted.At this moment, he was happily eating Father Yun Mother Yun made these steamed buns this morning! They're filled with pork and cabbage."Mmm...it's so delicious, it's my parents' love...""Haha... Eat more if it's delicious." Father Yunwas overjoyed.At this moment, only the father and daughter are at home; everyone else has gone to work. The little girl is staying with her maternal grandmother."Dad, shall I go pick up Little Girl later?""Okay, take some steamed buns to her grandmother.""good…"
