Chapter 425: Bandits Robbery
Song Yunping did not answer Su Ning directly, which showed that she did not reject or dislike Su Ning's closeness. Su Ning was not particularly anxious for her to answer him, but just wanted Song Yunping to have an idea in her mind.

In the following days, Suning and Song Yunping studied hard. Occasionally, Suning would take Song Yunping shopping and watching movies. Gradually, both of them got used to each other's presence, and the so-called emotional foundation was established.

The Spring Festival of 1980 was approaching quickly. Su Ning lived up to everyone's expectations and was admitted as Professor Lu's graduate student. He spent most of his time in the laboratory with Professor Lu, researching various topics.

During the Spring Festival in 1979, Song Yunhui was unable to return to his hometown for the New Year because he had no money for the trip. Now his sister Song Yunping has worked as a temporary worker in a canteen. The two siblings' lives together have alleviated their previous difficulties. Song Yunping no longer has to rely on selling her hair to raise money for the trip, so the siblings returned to their hometown for the New Year this year.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the laboratory will also be on holiday, so Suning stayed to help Professor Lu with some finishing work, and then everyone can go home to celebrate the New Year.

"Lao Lu! Lao Lu! Where are you?"

"Oh? Old Jin? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Hearing the noisy shouting, Professor Lu looked at the person in confusion.

"Old Lu, my immigration visa has been approved." Professor Jin explained with a smile and handed Professor Lu a set of keys. "Here are the keys to my house. Please take care of them for me."

"Okay! No problem." Professor Lu agreed with a smile, then looked at Professor Jin in confusion, "Old Jin, are you not planning to return to China?"

"Haha, we'll see when the time comes!" Professor Jin answered Professor Lu ambiguously, most likely not planning to come back. Then he suddenly looked at Su Ning, who was just sitting there, and said, "Old Lu, is this your new graduate student, Su Ning?"

"Yes!"

"Hello, Professor Jin! I'm Su Ning!" Su Ning quickly looked at Professor Jin with a smile. "I often attend your open classes on advanced mathematics in the large classroom. You're such a great teacher!"

"Oh! What a pity! I won't be able to teach you anymore."

After Professor Jin left the lab, Su Ning looked at Professor Lu curiously, "Professor, is Professor Jin planning to immigrate?"

"Yes! Immigrated to Los Angeles, USA."

"Then why doesn't he sell his house inland?"

"Didn't the school raise funds to build two residential buildings for family members last year, seven or eight years ago? Some of the relatively well-off teachers participated." Professor Lu was very patient with his beloved student, Su Ning, and explained carefully, "We just got our new house at the end of the year, and Professor Jin spent a lot of money on renovating it. With so much money involved in the fundraising and renovation, no one else can afford to take it on!"

"So that's how it is, Professor Lu. I want to buy Professor Jin's house. Can you help me ask him?"

"What? Suning, you have so much money?" Professor Lu looked at Suning in surprise.

"Haha, Professor Lu, my family is well off, so I should be able to get one." Seeing Professor Lu's surprise, Su Ning quickly explained with a smile, "Although I'm graduating next year in 1981, I'll probably go to work at Jinzhou Chemical in our city, so buying a house in advance wouldn't be a bad idea."

"Sure! I'll ask for you later." Professor Lu looked at Su Ning with a complicated expression. Now he felt that he was becoming more and more unable to understand this student.

"Thank you Professor Lu."

A house built seven or eight years ago cannot be demolished and rebuilt until at least two thousand years later. At most, you can still live in it for another twenty or thirty years. It is definitely a good deal to buy it now.

Thanks to Professor Lu's matchmaking, Professor Jin did not ask for too much. He only asked Suning for 50,000 yuan for the house payment, decoration, and a bunch of FamilyMart furniture and appliances.

Fifty thousand yuan was a huge sum of money in the 1980s. No wonder no other teacher was willing to take over. This was something that no normal family could afford.

"Professor Jin, I can bring you the money tomorrow. Can we complete the formalities together tomorrow?"

"Ah? Sure! Just go to the school to handle the formalities." Professor Jin also admired Suning's strength for being able to raise so much money overnight.

The house is a school staff housing building. Although it was built by teachers with their own funds, Anyun University still has a lot of say, so the formalities must be handled at Anyun University.

There were no problems in handling the property change procedures. Instead, it was resolved smoothly. Then Suning owned his first house in Jinzhou in 1980.

This is a 110-square-meter three-bedroom apartment, which was a very rare living model in the 1980s when most houses were tube-shaped buildings. It can be seen that Anyun University's ideas were quite avant-garde.

Jinzhou is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and borders Jinling City to the east. It has particularly developed heavy industry and is very suitable for Suning's chemical industry development. After all, Jinzhou Chemical Factory is a leading enterprise in the mainland, and owning a house here is a very good thing.

At this time, Song Yunhui and Song Yunping, brother and sister, were rushing back to their hometown. The weather was extremely cold and both of them were freezing.

Song Yunping saw her brother Song Yunhui's lips were purple, and she quickly took out the bread and biscuits that Su Ning had given her, and said, "Xiaohui, hurry up and eat some bread and biscuits!"

"Ah? Sister, where did you get these good things?"

"Haha, Suning gave it to me before I left." Song Yunping explained with a smile.

"Oh!" Song Yunhui then took the bread and biscuits and began to eat them voraciously.

"Slow down! No one's snatching it from you!" Seeing her brother Song Yunhui eating so sweetly, Song Yunping couldn't help but smile, and then handed him a thermos cup, "Drink some water quickly, don't choke."

"Hmm!" Song Yunhui was a little choked, and quickly took the thermos cup handed to him by his sister and took a sip. Then he couldn't help but brighten up, "Sister, is this water still hot?"

"Yes! Suning said that this thermos has a very good heat preservation effect. The water in the cup may still be hot when you get home." Song Yunping explained with a smile.

"Haha, this guy Suning has so many good things!" Song Yunhui couldn't help but sigh, and then suddenly looked at Song Yunping seriously, "Sister, how are you and Suning doing?"

"Ah? I don't know either." Song Yunping, who was eating bread, was also a little confused.

"Sister, actually, Su Ning is quite good." Seeing that his sister was a little confused, Song Yunhui expressed his evaluation of Su Ning, "He is now Professor Lu's graduate student. He is also Professor Lu's assistant in the new laboratory, and he never interacts with the girls in the class."

"Xiaohui, I know everything you said." Song Yunping said with a wry smile, "But I feel it's too hasty. I'm not ready to talk about dating right now."

"Well, then you take your time to think about it."

"You two, are you visiting relatives?"

At this time, the brother and sister suddenly heard a deep and hoarse voice behind them. They turned their heads curiously and saw a burly man in a military coat. His face full of flesh really looked like a bandit.

"No! We're going back home." Song Yunhui looked at the burly man with a timid expression. "Haha, don't get me wrong, I'm the brigade secretary of the Lei family. My name is Lei Dongbao." The burly man saw Song Yunping and Song Yunhui's wariness and caution towards him and quickly explained with a smile.

"We are from the town in front. We are not here to visit relatives. Please make way." Song Yunhui still looked at Lei Dongbao with a defensive look.

"Oh?" Lei Dongbao noticed the books that Song Yunhui and his sister were carrying, and asked curiously, "Are you students?"

"Well, we are all college students from Anyun University."

"Ah? College students? Then you must know about the household contract responsibility system, right?" Lei Dongbao looked at Song Yunhui and Song Yunping, brother and sister, with anticipation.

"Is this the household contract responsibility system in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang?" Song Yunhui looked at the "bandit" in confusion.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! It's this big contract." Lei Dongbao got a little excited when he heard Song Yunhui knew about this. "Can you help me explain it?"

Both Song Yunhui and Song Yunping seemed helpless, but seeing Lei Dongbao's face full of desire for knowledge, Song Yunhui could only talk as they walked. By the time they had explained the "contract responsibility system" clearly, the brother and sister had already arrived home.

Lei Dongbao said goodbye and left reluctantly, feeling that meeting the Song siblings today was really worth it, especially the incredibly beautiful Song Yunping, who was a hundred times better than the disabled blind date introduced to him by the matchmaker.

Just seeing Song Yunping's indifferent expression, Lei Dongbao became a little discouraged, especially when he heard that the other party was a college student, Lei Dongbao couldn't help feeling a little inferior.

In the residential area of Anyun University, there are two newly built six-story residential buildings, standing out like a crane among chickens. The newly purchased house of Suning is on the third floor of one of the buildings.

Looking at the three-bedroom apartment with everything he needed, Suning liked it more and more. Living in a house of his own gives him a sense of home.

Whether in the real world or in every new world experience, Suning is particularly eager for the feeling of home. Even in the difficult situation in the Saihanba world, Suning fell in love with his uncle Li Tieniu's house at first sight. That's why when Li Tieniu returned to Saihanba, he arranged for him to work as a worker in the Saihanba Forest Farm, just so that he could own a home of his own in a legitimate way.

The New Year atmosphere outside is getting stronger and stronger, but the identity assigned to him by the system is still a "lonely man". Suning hides in his home and takes a nap, and still feels very comfortable.

Jinzhou is located on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It has a northern subtropical humid monsoon climate with obvious monsoons, distinct four seasons, and a warm and humid climate. This is the coldest time of the year, with an average temperature of only three degrees.

Suning is not a person who can withstand cold weather, so he immediately got an air conditioner from the space and installed it in his living room and bedroom with his own hands. Only then did he feel much more comfortable.

Professor Jin often publishes academic papers in foreign journals and is very well-known internationally. He often receives royalties from foreign journals mailed to him, so he is able to participate in Anyun University's fundraising for building a house and purchase new furniture and appliances, so he installed the telephone early in the morning.

Suning really wanted to call Song Yunping, who was spending the New Year in her hometown, but she could only call the post office in their town. By the time the people at the post office called Song Yunping to answer the phone, almost an hour had passed.

"Hello! Is this Suning?" When Song Yunping called Suning again, Suning almost fell asleep waiting.

"Yeah, I almost fell asleep waiting."

"Haha, the post office is quite far from my home." Song Yunping explained with a smile on the phone.

"Well, from now on just call this number and you'll definitely be able to find me."

"Huh? Who's calling from?"

"My family!" Su Ning explained casually, then said with a smile, "The New Year is coming soon, wish your parents a happy new year for me."

"Well, thank you, Suning! Happy New Year to you too!"

"Well, I missed you quite a bit when you weren't here these past few days."

"Ah?" Song Yunping's face quickly turned red. She was glad that there was a phone line between them, otherwise she would be laughed at by Su Ning. "Me too!"

Hearing Song Yunping's inaudible voice on the phone, Su Ning knew that the other party had decided to date him. Although Su Ning had seen countless women, he was still a little surprised.

"Pingping, I'll be waiting for you in Jinzhou!"

"Boom boom boom!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Su Ning quickly explained to Song Yunping on the other end of the phone, "I have a guest here. I'll hang up first."

"See you!"

After hanging up the phone, Suning quickly got up and went to open the door, and then saw Professor Lu and his wife standing outside the door holding the dumplings they had just made.

"Professor Lu, Auntie, why are you here?" Su Ning quickly let Professor Lu and his wife into the room, "Come in!"

"Haha, your aunt was worried that you wouldn't make dumplings for the New Year alone, so she made some for you."

"Auntie, thank you and professor so much." Suning quickly took the dumplings and brought them into the kitchen.

"Suning, your room is so warm!" At this time, Professor Lu and his wife both felt the comfortable temperature of the room.

"Haha, I asked someone to bring back an air conditioner from abroad." Su Ning explained with a smile while pouring tea for Professor Lu and his wife.

"Ah? Air conditioner?" Professor Lu ran to the corner of the living room and looked at the running standing air conditioner curiously.

"Suning, why is there no inscription on it?"

"Professor, this is foreign product after all. I was worried about the negative impact, so I rejected it in advance."

"Well, your consideration makes sense." Professor Lu nodded in agreement, then looked at Su Ning with a playful expression, "You kid, you really know how to enjoy yourself."

"Professor, I can't stand the climate in Golden State. I didn't feel it in the crowded dormitory, but now I can't stand it living alone."

"Yeah, that's true. The weather in Jinzhou is very similar to that in Jinling. Both are a bit hot and humid."
