Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 56: The Growth of a Man (Please read and collect)
Dean Guo is a leader after all, and it is rare for him to spare half a day to make arrangements for Yang Ning.

After coming out of Dean Guo’s office, Yang Ning planned to go to his own residence first. After all, he would be living there for a long time in the future.

But now the Chinese Academy of Sciences is still on Wenjin Street, more than ten kilometers away from the special building. If he walks there, he will probably break his legs.

Just as Yang Ning was standing at the gate wondering how to get there, Dean Guo's driver drove up beside him.

"Comrade Yang Ning, where are you going? Dean Guo asked me to take you there."

Seeing this, Yang Ning's face showed a hint of joy and he thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, comrade, you have worked hard!" Then he immediately got into the car.

"Go to the special building!"

When Yang Ning returned to the special building, he found that Chen Jingguo, Hu Yinghong and others had already arrived. Beside the car, there were two weirdos running around a few people who were moving things.

After seeing Yang Ning get off the car, Hu Yinghong greeted him with a smile while holding a quilt: "Yang Ning, are you done?"

"It's done." Yang Ning first thanked the driver who sent him back, then he pulled the second weirdo who came over after seeing him, and nodded with a smile.

"Mom is here too?"

"Well, he said he wanted to get to know his family so that he wouldn't have to worry about where to look for his son later."

When Hu Yinghong said this, there was an inexplicable smile on her face, as if she had thought of something funny.

"Hey, you say that as if something is wrong with me."

Yang Ning was just about to make some excuses when his mother, Yang Liu, came downstairs wearing the same outfit she wore when she was at Lou's house.

"Why, was I wrong? I went out last year and haven't heard from you for half a year. I was afraid you'd get lost one day."

Yang Liu rolled her eyes at Yang Ning, lifted her apron to wipe the water off her hands, and took a bundle from the car. From the edges, one could tell that it contained the shoes that Yang Ning usually wore.

"Dead man, why are you just standing there? Why don't you lend a hand?"

Chen Jingguo was just unloading a box from the car. Seeing how hard Yang Ning was struggling, he scolded Yang Ning who was still standing there in a daze.

"Oh!" Yang Ning hurried forward, and he and Chen Jingguo carried the box and followed behind Yang Liushi.

"What's in here? It's so heavy?" As soon as Yang Ning picked it up, he knew that the things inside were not light, but he didn't expect that he had something so heavy.

"Book!" Chen Jingguo said in a low voice. After following Yang Ning for some time, he understood Yang Ning's status in his family. So when he encountered such a situation, he simply pretended to be invisible and could not see or hear anything.

After all, Yang Ning has such a high status at home, what can you do if you ask him to be an ordinary driver?

"Books?" Yang Ning was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but now they were at the door, so he didn't have time to think about it. After he and Chen Jingguo carried the box of books in, they went into the house to take a look.

Wow, this is going to kick me out of the house completely, everything is being sent to me.

In addition to clothes and bedding, he also had his own washbasin, towel, toothbrush and toothmover, and even his own teacup for drinking water and bowls and chopsticks for eating, all delivered to him at once.

"No, you really don't want it anymore, right?" Yang Ning looked at the room full of his things and asked his mother with a bitter face.

"Tsk, do you think anyone cares about you?" Yang Liu rolled her eyes at Yang Ning, swiftly opened the bag she had brought up, and put the shoes inside in place one by one.

"If you move out earlier, you won't have to worry about me all day long, and your dad and I won't have to worry about you anymore."

Although Yang Liu said she was disgusted, there was a hint of sadness on her face.

After all, my son has grown up, and this day will come.

After Yang Ning's transformation, the couple guessed that their son would not belong to them alone in the future. Fortunately, he trained a trumpet early on, which gave them more hope.

When Yang Ning saw this, he felt bad. At this moment, his heart was a little complicated, with nostalgia for the past and yearning for the future.

Although I am now in the same city with my parents, I always feel like I am breaking away from my parents' arms, like a child who has just learned to walk. I am attached to my parents' arms, but I also yearn for freedom.

But he would eventually have to leave his parents' protection and face the storm outside alone. Then he looked at Hu Yinghong who was busy in the room, and it seemed that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier.

After the house was tidied up, Yang Liu looked at the place where her son would live in the future and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'll cook a meal here for you at noon today, which can also be regarded as warming your house."

After saying that, he called out to Hu Yinghong and Chen Jingguo who were washing their faces, "Don't leave in a hurry, come and have a meal here."

"Oh!" Hu Yinghong was not polite to her mother and nodded in agreement.

Chen Jingguo wanted to decline, but Yang Ning saw that he was a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Chen, you've been busy for a long time, so don't be polite. Besides, it's not working hours now, just treat it as a visit to a friend's house."

After hearing what Yang Ning said, Chen Jingguo readily agreed.

I am Yang Ning's driver now. Yang Ning has already said so. If I refuse again, I would be really stupid.

Since we had just moved here, we didn’t prepare anything, just some vegetables my mother grew herself and other ingredients that she brought from home.

There won’t be anything left after this meal, and I’ll have to buy dinner later.

After dinner, the mother took the reluctant two kids and asked Chen Jingguo to send them back home. After all, there was someone at home who worked and needed to eat in the evening.

The next day, Yang Ning officially went to work. Unexpectedly, when Hu Yinghong picked him up today, she was wearing a military uniform that she rarely wore. This made Yang Ning feel very novel.

I've known her for so long, but this is the first time I've seen her in a military uniform.

"Although today is my first day at work, there is no need to be so serious, right?" Yang Ning was sitting in the car and found that today not only Hu Yinghong, but even Chen Jingguo, who was driving the car and wearing a military uniform, looked much more serious than usual.

"From today on, the two of us have officially entered into a working state and can no longer be as casual as before."

Hu Yinghong explained once and didn't want to say more. Chen Jingguo was a man of few words, so it was impossible for him to ask anything.

With a lot of doubts in his mind, Yang Ning drove to the building that Dean Guo had shown him before. There were already two soldiers with live ammunition standing guard at the door.

Yang Ning took out his pass and was about to go in, but he didn't expect that Hu Yinghong behind him also took out a similar document.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Yang Ning's puzzled expression, Hu Yinghong said seriously: "Comrade Yang Ning, from today on, I will officially be your work secretary."

Hey, is this still possible?
Yang Ning smiled and shook his head, just be a secretary.

After entering, he found that President Guo and a man in military uniform who looked to be in his thirties were already waiting for him inside, and there were several soldiers busy around them.

When he saw Yang Ning and Hu Yinghong coming in, he waved to Yang Ning.

"President Guo!" Yang Ning hurried forward and greeted him.

"Comrade Yang Ning, this is your director, Comrade Lu Yonghuai. He will be responsible for your security and confidentiality work from now on."

Dean Guo nodded and introduced the man in military uniform to Yang Ning.

"Hello, Director Lu!"

"Comrade Yang Ning, I have long heard of your great name!"

Director Lu doesn't look simple. He actually knew Yang Ning's information very early on.

Then Dean Guo continued, "Comrade Hu Yinghong will be in charge of your daily life here from now on."

"Yes!" Hu Yinghong straightened up and saluted.
