It was not until the seventh performance that You Dafu excitedly said, “This is my son’s troop. My son is going to perform.”
Then he said to You Mingyan: “My dear grandson, look at your father.”
You Mingyan clapped his hands, his eyes sparkling: “Look at Daddy!”
Ruan Ning estimated that with a child’s memory, he might have long forgotten what his father looked like, but the word ‘dad’ could make him feel happy.
This show probably had not been rehearsed in advance. It was all based on the tacit understanding they had developed on a daily basis, and it also had a bit of a heroic and high-spirited feel.
There were only twelve programs in total, each lasting an average of four minutes, and with the host’s introduction, the party was over after an hour.
This was a rare sight in such extreme heat.
After the hustle and bustle, they still had to face a lack of water, food, and high temperatures.
In just this one hour, the people in the air-raid shelter enjoyed a rare leisure time and dispelled too much sorrow.
The two children were even more so. After the performances were over, they were still not satisfied and kept pestering Zhu Liangliang to teach them to sing.
Unfortunately, Zhu Liangliang was tone-deaf and was already sweating from anxiety.
The makeshift stage over at the air-raid shelter was being dismantled.
Ruan Ning and Wang Lingxia walked down.
Cheng Jili, who was finally free, spotted them and ran over to say, “Hey, isn’t this Ruan Ning? You finally came to our disaster relief camp.”
Ruan Ning smiled at her.
Cheng Jili hugged her and said, “You are really great. You didn’t come to see me for such a long time.”
Ruan Ning said: “There’s nothing I can do. The weather is too hot now.”
Cheng Jili said: “That’s right. If you move less and drink less water, you might even have to queue less.”
“By the way, how are your potatoes?”
Ruan Ning said: “They should be okay. My parents raise them.”
“That’s good.” Cheng Jili said.
“Some people don’t work hard at first, and as a result, others have sprouted, but they have nothing. They will definitely regret it in the future.”
Ruan Ning smiled and said, “I heard that a New Hope Base is being built. Will you go there?”
Cheng Jili shook her head and said, “I won’t go there for the time being. I have a new mission.”
Ruan Ning blinked: “Do you have a new mission? Can you tell me?”
Cheng Jili said: “I can reveal it. The Heihai Command Center has decided to move to Yingyan County. We will go to meet them.”
“Otherwise, with so many supplies, I’m afraid it will be unsafe on the road.”
Ruan Ning frowned: “How many people are you going with?”
Cheng Jili: “Half of them have to go.”
“We need to build a base and pick up people.” Ruan Ning said, “Do you have enough people?”
Cheng Jili chuckled: “Originally, it wasn’t enough, but didn’t Brother You and his team come? We will arrange for them to go over there for the garrison. My brother and I will go to Heihai Province.”
Ruan Ning thought about it.
Since Brother You is stationed there, Wang Lingxia and his group will most likely follow. Cheng Jili and Cheng Jikuan will also leave.
At this point, she had no acquaintances in Jinbei City.
Cheng Jili then asked: “When do you plan to go to the New Hope Base? You won’t go, will you?”
Ruan Ning said: “We need to think about it. Isn’t there a well here? I think it’s good.”
Cheng Jili nodded and did not question the decision. She felt that Ruan Ning was smarter than her.
“After we leave, you should be careful when you are alone in the city.” Cheng Jili whispered: “Someone is ready to make a move now, and Jinbei City is not safe either.”
Ruan Ning smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I will make sure I don’t leave the house.”
Ruan Ning kept her word and subsequently secluded herself in the villa area for a full five months.
On this day, a light rain fell.
The whole world was in a frenzy.
