Song Yun first went to the military district to report on her mission. After finishing her mission, she went to Zhengde Street. It happened to be the weekend, and everyone in her family was there. When they heard that Song Yun had arrived, her uncle and his family next door also came over. They were relieved to see that she was well.
"Xiao Yun, I saw in the newspaper that two ships from Country R were attacked by an unknown attacker in the East China Sea and instantly disintegrated. Is that true?"
Song Yun nodded, "It's true."
"Who did it? We in China don't have a weapon that can silently dismantle a ship, right?"
Song Yun shook her head and said seriously, "It wasn't our fault, and I don't know what they were up to. Anyway, it exploded suddenly. Maybe they made something to hurt others, but ended up hurting themselves."
Bai Qingfeng nodded, "It's really possible."
Song Yun washed the cherries and brought them out. "These are the cherries that the director of Qing City People's Hospital gave me. He said they were grown by him. I ate a few on the way. They're quite sweet. Come and try them."
The cherries were bright red, and looked even better after being washed. Even though Bai Qingfeng didn't like fruits at the time, he still ate a few. They were sweet and sour, with more sweet than sour, and the taste was just right. After eating one or two, he had eaten most of them without realizing it.
My aunt said, "These cherries taste different from the ones we had in China. They're more refreshing and delicious. Can we buy them here in Beijing?"
Song Yun shook her head. "I don't know. Probably not. This kind of fruit is very easy to rot. If we pick it from there and then transport it here, it will most likely rot on the way."
Bai Ruanruan was curious, "Then how do you preserve them? These cherries look quite fresh."
"I have my own way. Anyway, it's not suitable for large-scale transportation."
Seeing that she didn't speak directly, Bai Ruanruan knew that she didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject. "By the way, a few days ago, an old man named Wu came to see you. He said he lives in a retirement home. If you come later, he asked you to go to the retirement home."
Song Yun nodded and said, "Mr. Gu, I'll go give Gu Lao some cherries and stop by the rest home."
Song Yun gave the remaining cherry blossoms two portions. She gave the larger portion to Gu Lao, where Wang Hui and her children lived, and the smaller portion to Wu Lao, who lived alone.
Gu Lao was not on duty today, so Wang Hui was making shoes in the workshop. Judging from the style and size of the shoes, they should be made for men.
Wang Hui saw her coming and hurried to pour water. Later, she saw her staring at the shoes and said with a smile, "I saw that Mr. Gu's shoes were quite old, so I made him a pair."
Song Yun nodded. "Well done! My mom always says you're very skillful."
Wang Hui was a little embarrassed, "My craftsmanship is only good enough to wear it for now."
Song Yun looked at the little Douding who was playing with a spinning top, grabbed a handful of candy from her pocket, stuffed it all into Douding's trouser pocket, and said with a smile, "Auntie gives you some candy, save it and eat it slowly. Remember to rinse your mouth after eating."
The little kid felt a little embarrassed and hurried to look at his mother. Seeing his mother nod at him, he timidly said thank you in a very low voice.
Wang Hui said, "The child is timid, please don't mind it."
Song Yun smiled and shook her head. "He's quite courageous, just shy. If you take him out to play more often and let him interact with other children his age, he'll gradually become less shy."
Wang Hui nodded, "I'll remember that."
After chatting for a while, Song Yun said goodbye and went straight to the retirement home.
Old Wu was still playing chess in the pavilion as before, but the weather was getting hotter, and he didn't stop fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, and his face was still red.
