Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 43 Return to Sijiu City (Please collect and read!)

"Woo~"

With a dull whistle, a train slowly entered the city of Beijing.

Yang Ning and Hu Yinghong carried their luggage and followed the crowd out of the station.

It was already late at night in the city of Sijiu, and the sky was dotted with stars.

Yang Ning looked up at the night sky of the Sijiu City of this era, and felt infinite emotion in his heart.

After only being away for half a year, Yang Ning felt as if he was in another world. He finally understood how people of this era felt when they returned home after a long journey.

There was a hint of eagerness in the joy.

This is something that people in later generations rarely experience. In that era, home was just a place for most people to complete their life tasks.

"Comrade Yang Ning!"

As soon as he got out of the station, Yang Ning saw a car parked at the station entrance. A soldier in military uniform saw Yang Ning and ran over to salute him.

"Brother Chen, why is it you?"

Before Yang Ning could figure out what was going on, Hu Yinghong behind him looked at the man in surprise and asked.

"Hey, Comrade Yinghong, we will be working together from now on."

The soldier glanced at Yang Ning, smiled at Hu Yinghong in a simple and honest way, and then explained: "Didn't the higher-ups arrange a special car for Comrade Yang Ning? From now on, I will be Comrade Yang Ning's driver."

The Brother Chen mentioned by Hu Yinghong looked to be in his early twenties, wearing a Type 50 military uniform. His skin looked a little dark, probably due to long-term training. He was about meters tall, a little shorter than Yang Ning. He had a pistol with a holster on his waist, and it was obvious that he was a real guy.

"Comrade Yinghong, what's going on?"

At this time, Yang Ning clearly realized that Hu Yinghong knew something, otherwise he would not have reacted that way when he saw Comrade Chen.

"Comrade Yang Ning, based on your actual situation, the higher-ups have decided to arrange a special car for you. Comrade Chen should be your driver."

"When did this happen? Why didn't I know?"

Yang Ning felt like his head was about to explode. Was it not obvious enough that he disliked him now? Why didn't he tell her in advance?

"We decided on your way back. This is also to facilitate your future work."

Comrade Chen also hurried forward to explain. It was obvious that he had misunderstood and thought that Yang Ning was blaming Hu Yinghong.

"There's no need for a special car. I haven't even graduated yet, why would I need one?"

Yang Ning was very resistant at this time. This was not only to better protect himself, but also because he was riding in a special car before he graduated, and it was inevitable that someone would make a fuss about this in the future.

"But……"

Comrade Chen wanted to persuade him, but Yang Ning refused directly: "No buts, I am just a college student who has not graduated yet, it is not appropriate to do this."

After saying that, Yang Ning walked around Comrade Chen and planned to just find a cart to make do. Why did he need a special car?
"Comrade Yang Ning..." Comrade Chen was about to stop him, but when he thought of his leader's order, he stepped back.

So he had no choice but to look to Hu Yinghong beside him for help, asking her to help persuade him, otherwise if he went back like this, he would definitely be criticized.

"Comrade Yang Ning, Comrade Chen is here now, why don't you ask him to give you a ride so he doesn't have to make a wasted trip. Besides, it's hard for you to find a car at this hour."

After some time of contact with Yang Ning, Hu Yinghong knew that he seemed easy to talk to on weekdays, but once he made up his mind, ten oxen couldn't pull him back, and he was very stubborn at heart.

If you don't want the special car, then don't do it. But at least you can't let Brother Chen go back like this. At least take Yang Ning back first. The rest depends on what the leader says when he returns.

"Okay!" Yang Ning thought about it and agreed. After all, they came to pick him up specially. It would be difficult to explain to them if they just let the soldier go back.

Seeing that it was getting late, Hu Yinghong arranged for Yang Ning to stay in the guesthouse for the night, while she herself followed the soldier and did something unknown.

Early the next morning, after Yang Ning finished washing up, he saw Hu Yinghong waiting downstairs.

"You're here so early, do you have anything else to do today?"

As a result, Yang Ning wolfed down the breakfast in her hand.

"Well, you know what, after eating rice and rice noodles for half a year, the steamed buns and fried liver in Sijiucheng are still delicious!"

Yang Ning was so excited to eat the familiar food that he almost cried.

God have pity on him. No matter in his past life or this life, he is a real northerner. After eating rice in the south for half a year, he feels that he is about to become depressed.

Although there are also noodles sold in the south, the taste is completely different from that in the north.

Hu Yinghong looked at Yang Ning who was eating with great relish and smiled with satisfaction.

Because of special reasons, Yang Ning received special subsidies for meals, and after arranging Hu Yinghong to take care of Yang Ning, he handed these subsidies to Hu Yinghong. Otherwise, given Yang Ning's appetite, her salary would not be enough for Yang Ning's meals.

After all, Yang Ning was sometimes so busy that he had no time to eat, but he had to eat at a certain time, otherwise he would not only feel weak all over, but also have a terrible headache.

So when he learned that his superior had arranged for Hu Yinghong to take care of him, Yang Ning did not object.

"We have to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences first today."

"Didn't you say anything?" Yang Ning took a sip of the sticky fried liver, looked up at Hu Yinghong and asked.

"I didn't say it."

"We've been busy for half a year, and no one is allowed to rest." Although Yang Ning complained, he still quickened his movements.

"Are we going to do this today?" Yang Ning looked at the 26-type bicycle at the entrance of the guesthouse and asked Hu Yinghong speechlessly.

Hu Yinghong showed a sly smile, but her eyes were shining with innocence. She said to Yang Ning, "Didn't you refuse the special car last night? I can only find this car to get around. It's my own car."

"Uh..." Yang Ning was stunned for a moment when he saw Hu Yinghong, who looked as if she had tried her best.

It turned out that when he was alone, he rode his big phoenix horse and went wherever he wanted, completely forgetting that Hu Yinghong was following him.

It would be fine if it was just a man, we are all grown men and there is nothing wrong with taking him on a bicycle.

But looking at the delicate Hu Yinghong, Yang Ning felt embarrassed.

"Why, do you have any bad thoughts about me?"

How dare this Hu Niu say anything?

But looking at Hu Yinghong's expression which said, "Since you don't have any ideas, why do you think so much?", Yang Ning gritted his teeth and went for it.

As long as you are thick-skinned, it doesn't matter what others think of you.

Yang Ning turned around with his bicycle, straddled it, patted the back seat, looked at Hu Yinghong and said, "Come on."

Hu Yinghong looked at Yang Ning in surprise, then bit her lip, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.

Under Yang Ning's gaze, she gently sat on the back seat of the car, and instantly turned from the tiger girl just now into a shy little girl.
