Both Yu Xiangnian and Wen Qiuning took notes.
Yu Xiangnian was quick and finished it in about an hour, while Wen Qiuning took more than three hours to finish.
The only evidence Wen Qiuning had was the letter of guarantee written by Niu Shengyun two years ago because Xiangyang was a witness.
The Public Security Bureau has already filed a case. Because the case spans two places, the subsequent investigation will take a month or two.
After coming out of the public security bureau, Wen Qiuning felt an indescribable sense of relief, as if a huge boulder that had been pressing on his chest for so many years was suddenly removed, and even his breathing became much easier.
It was already after nine o'clock, and the street was not deserted. There were several vendors selling goods with push carts on the roadside.
The two of them hadn't eaten dinner yet and were already ravenous.
The two of them came to a stall selling wontons and sat down. After eating a bowl of hot wontons, they immediately felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
A bowl of wontons cost three cents, a total of six cents. When paying the bill, the two of them got into a fight.
When Yu Xiangnian handed over the money, he was stopped by Wen Qiuning. The two of them argued, "I'll do it, I'll do it."
Yu Xiangnian pulled Wen Qiuning's hand away, "Wen Qiuning, don't argue with me, I'll pay."
Six cents was nothing to Xiang Nian, but Wen Qiuning was reluctant to spend six cents a week.
Wen Qiuning blocked Yu Xiangnian's hand, "Yu Xiangnian, I should pay. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be eating dinner now."
Yu Xiangnian went to pull it again, "It has nothing to do with you, I've been wanting to eat wontons for a long time."
Wen Qiuning went to block it again, "Just let me pay for a bowl of wontons."
The two of them were arguing for a long time, and the boss couldn't stand it anymore. "You two girls, stop arguing. It's not like we won't keep in touch after this meal. You can treat me to this meal, and I can treat you to the next meal. We should reciprocate politely."
Yu Xiangnian retracted his hand.
Let Wen Qiuning treat this meal, otherwise she would feel even more indebted.
Wen Qiuning paid the money, and the two of them walked home.
The moonlight tonight is bright and clear, the night sky is cloudless, the moonlight shines on the ground, and everything in the world seems to be covered with a gentle veil.
The two of them were wearing thick clothes, with scarves around their necks covering most of their faces, and they were walking side by side at a slow pace.
When Wen Qiuning went to the bookstore, he had to pass by the place where Xiang Nian lived.
Yu Xiangnian said: "Wait for me at the door, and I will ask Lin Ye to take you to the bookstore together."
Wen Qiuning said: "No, I'm not afraid."
It was snowing that night, so she escaped from the village and walked all night in a deserted place, climbing mountains and ridges, but she was not afraid at all.
"It's so late, it's not safe for you to be alone!" Yu Xiangnian said.
Wen Qiuning said: "There is really no need to send me off. This is Beijing, there is nothing unsafe."
Yu Xiangnian said: "Don't be careless, just in case. I used to meet bad people when I walked alone at night."
After waiting for almost half a minute, Wen Qiuning said, "I've had this happen to me too."
During those years in the village, Captain Niu did everything he could to make her surrender to him.
Just to earn work points every day, she had to do a lot more farm work than other educated youths to earn the same work points.
Other educated youths finish their work and go back when the sun goes down, but she has to do it at night every day, even by flashlight.
Naturally, some ill-intentioned people in the village focused on her, hiding in the fields at night and trying to violate her.
So much so that later on, she had to carry a knife with her.
Wen Qiuning's face was covered with a scarf. Yu Xiangnian didn't notice her expression changed, and asked unintentionally: "What happened to that bad guy?"
"Okay."
Yu Xiangnian comforted her, "It's all in the past, and it will get better and better in the future."
Wen Qiuning said "hmm" in a low voice.
Yu Xiangnian and Lin also sent Wen Qiuning back, and when they returned home, it was already past eleven o'clock.
An'an and Keke were sleeping soundly. Keke didn't know what she was dreaming about, and suddenly started laughing.
Yu Xiangnian tucked the two children into bed and lay down.
After the morning class the next day, everyone had lunch in the cafeteria and just returned to the dormitory to take a lunch break.
Shi Mingyue hurriedly ran in, "Let me tell you, Duan Fangfang was taken away by the police!"
Yu Xiangnian and Wen Qiuning looked at each other. Obviously, Wen Qiuning did not expect that the police would take Duan Fangfang away.
Yu Xiangnian was as expected. She said calmly: "Be careful with your words, and be careful if people say you are spreading rumors. Duan Fangfang was just called by the police to assist in the investigation and came back after the investigation."
Shi Mingyue nodded, "Oh."
As soon as she arrived at the door of her house in the afternoon, Yu Xiangnian saw the new bicycle parked in the yard. She thought it was Cheng Jingmo coming back.
Opening the door, only Yu Xiangyang leaned lazily on the sofa.
"Where is Cheng Jingmo?" Yu Xiangnian asked.
Yu Xiangyang said lazily: "If he came back, he would greet you like a dog."
Yu Xiangnian frowned, "Be careful what you say!"
Although it was the truth, it would be very uncomfortable if Cheng Jingmo's parents heard this.
"What are you doing back?" Yu Xiangnian asked.
"Come in with me." Yu Xiangyang stood up and walked into his room, and Yu Xiangnian followed.
Yu Xiangyang closed the door and asked, "What's going on with your classmate Wen Qiuning now? I was taken to the bureau by the police today to assist in the investigation."
In the afternoon, when they were training, the police suddenly came to the training ground to find him and asked him to assist in the investigation.
He was shocked at the time and thought he had been discovered buying pornographic books.
Yu Xiangnian's eyes widened in astonishment, "Why are we looking for you? What does Wen Qiuning's matter have to do with you?"
Yu Xiangyang talked about the incident two years ago in an understatement.
Yu Xiangnian suddenly said, "So there is something like this between you two, but I think you two seem to dislike each other."
"That classmate of yours..." Yu Xiangyang paused and continued, "I won't say any more! I want to know what's going on now?"
Yu Xiangnian talked about what happened recently.
Yu Xiangyang frowned, "Does the whole school know about her?! A girl's reputation will be ruined?!"
Yu Xiangnian replied: "The truth is not exactly what is reported outside, but she is determined to defeat the enemy this time."
Yu Xiangyang pursed his lips, "If you had shown this courage earlier, that old man would have been in jail!"
"Don't stand and talk without your back hurting." Yu Xiangnian said, "If she is expelled from school, she will have no way out."
Yu Xiangyang said no more.
Yu Xiangnian patted him on the shoulder and said half-jokingly, "I didn't expect you to be able to keep secrets. I haven't heard a word from you in so many years. Cheng Jingmo must not even know."
Yu Xiangyang said calmly: "I'll tell others about other people's reputation matters. I'm not a talkative woman!"
Yu Xiangnian gave him a thumbs up, "He is indeed an excellent soldier. He stands up when faced with injustice, strictly keeps secrets, and protects girls!"
Yu Xiangyang said: "Stop wearing high hats here and be more practical!"
"What reality?"
"I need a bicycle."
