SRTT Chapter 46.5

Cheng Jikuan and Cheng Jili knew her better, so Ruan Ning packed some dried meat for them and put two pieces of chocolate and some candy on top.

It would not be good for Wang Lingxia to be too high-profile, so she took three sets of exercise books, two pens, and two candies for each child.

Sun Yongchao, of course, was compressed biscuits.

After everything was done, Ruan Ning told her parents and set off to the disaster relief camp.

Yesterday was Chinese New Year, and the disaster relief camp tried its best to create a festive atmosphere. The command post found red papers from somewhere and asked craftsmen to cut window paper-cuts and paste them on the wall.

In addition, the disaster relief camp also took out canned food and cured fish and cooked thicker porridge so that everyone could have a full meal.

During the meal, there were constant cries from the victims in the disaster relief camp. Later, Sun Yongchao asked the soldiers to line up and sing military songs for everyone, which livened up the atmosphere.

In short, everyone had a relatively happy New Year last night.

When Ruan Ning arrived, the disaster relief camp was quiet. Many people had vented their emotions the night before, so they were sleeping soundly.

She walked lightly to the door of the infirmary and saw Dr. Zhu flipping through a notebook.

Ruan Ning walked into the room, smiled, and said, “Aunt Zhu, Happy New Year.”

Dr. Zhu was surprised, but she still lowered her voice: “Why did you come so early?”

Ruan Ning took out the New Year gift for them: “There are four candies in it. I exchanged them at the market outside. I’m giving them to Xiao Yue and Xiao Yan.”

“Such expensive things.”

Dr. Zhu frowned: “I know that market too. It is said that half a pound of compressed biscuits can be exchanged for a small spoonful of brown sugar.”

Ruan Ning didn’t know how they did their business, but this was indeed the price in the end times.

Especially during the recent New Year, families who were lucky enough to keep their children were trying their best to give their children sweet mouths.

Ruan Ning said, “Chinese New Year only comes once a year. I just want the children to be happy.”

Dr. Zhu found that there was an exercise book inside. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “You really made them happy.”

Ruan Ning smiled and said, “Where’s Jili? Hasn’t she come to work yet?”

Dr. Zhu said: “She’s probably still sleeping. They made a fuss late last night.”

Ruan Ning nodded: “Then I’ll go and wake her up.”

She had been to Cheng Jikuan and Cheng Jili’s residence once. Ruan Ning found the place according to her memory and knocked on the door.

Soon, the person inside asked, “Who?”

Ruan Ning recognized the voice as Cheng Jikuan’s: “It’s me. I’m here to wish you a happy new year.”

Unexpectedly, Cheng Jikuan opened the door quickly and was dressed very neatly.

Ruan Ning was surprised: “Are you not sleeping?”

Cheng Jikuan did not let Ruan Ning in and closed the door: “Jili is still sleeping. I have something to talk to you about.”

Ruan Ning raised her eyebrows: “Oh.”

The two of them walked a little further away. Cheng Jikuan took her to an office and said to the person inside: “Xiao Li, can you go out for a while?”

The boy called Xiao Li was still very young and looked to be only eighteen years old.

After he left, Cheng Jikuan said, “This is a new member of the escort team. Both his parents have passed away.”

Ruan Ning said, “What is so mysterious about you?”

Cheng Jikuan said: “I may have to go on a mission soon.”

“Are you still going on a mission in such snowy weather?” Ruan Ning felt strange. She guessed it must be an important matter.

Not knowing whether it involved a secret or not, Ruan Ning simply stopped asking: “Are you worried that Jili is unsafe alone? She can live at my house.”

Cheng Jikuan shook his head and sighed.
