Good friends met, and they were filled with joy.
After some pleasantries, Cheng Jili said happily, “So you will stay at the base longer this time?”
Ruan Ning smiled and nodded.
“It’s a pity that you didn’t come earlier, or my brother came later. He came back with the team a week ago and went back to the beach the day before yesterday.” Cheng Jili expressed regret.
Speaking of this, Ruan Ning was a little embarrassed: “It’s okay. We’ll meet again next time we have a chance.”
“That’s right.”
Because Cheng Jili had to go on patrol, the two of them agreed to meet again in the evening, and then they parted ways.
It was still early, so Ruan Ning casually strolled around the base, enjoying the rare post-disaster tranquility.
At 9 o’clock, she came to the trading area.
Wu Dawei was already busily hawking his wares at the stall. After these days of rest and recuperation, he had gained a little weight again and looked quite energetic.
Seeing Ruan Ning, he quickly stood up from his seat.
“Sister, you’re finally back! I’ve been waiting for you to collect the final payment.”
Ruan Ning smiled and said, “It looks like business is good. You can’t wait to give me some money.”
Wu Dawei chuckled, picked up two stools, and took Ruan Ning to the corner.
“Sit down.”
The two people sat down opposite each other.
Wu Dawei said, “I have something to tell you. Life in the base is peaceful now, and supplies are relatively abundant.”
“You know, gold is bound to appreciate in this situation.”
Ruan Ning smiled and said, “No problem. We’ve been working together for so long, how could I not trust you?”
Wu Dawei smiled and said, “So, what are your plans next? Are you still going out with the scavenging team?”
Ruan Ning shook her head: “You also said that the base has ample supplies now, and what we can find is limited.”
“I will stay in the base for some time.”
Wu Dawei’s face lit up: “This is a good decision. There are more opportunities in the base now than outside. You won’t starve to death if you do anything, and you don’t have to take risks.”
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, “Did you know? The base is planning to reform the trading area and build a commercial street. Our boss is planning to buy two shops.”
Ruan Ning joked, “Everyone is worried about housing, but Mr. Zhou is already investing?”
Wu Dawei chuckled: “Not at all. After all, I have been doing business with you for so long, what about you? Do you have any intention of investing?”
Ruan Ning asked curiously: “What do I need to buy a shop? Gold?”
Wu Dawei: “They are still accepting material exchanges, but the specific details have to wait for the higher authorities to issue them.”
“When will it go on sale?”
Wu Dawei: “It will probably take three or four months, and by then, it will be in great demand and difficult to buy.”
Ruan Ning smiled and said, “Then I’ll let our boss pay attention to it first. I also want to thank Brother Wu for providing this information.”
Wu Dawei waved his hands quickly: “What kind of news is this? You will know it soon.”
The two continued chatting.
In the afternoon, they settled their previous bills. Ruan Ning, having made another small profit from gold, happily left the cave.
In the following days, life was relatively peaceful.
As the New Year approaches, the market becomes more lively. After going through such a long period of hardship, everyone wants to have a lively New Year.
Ruan Ning’s family was no exception.
Since she came back, Ruan Cifeng accelerated the construction of the small mud house, and the family of three moved in soon. Ruan Ning had an independent small room and slept comfortably in bed every day.
Since she’s at New Hope, she can’t be idle.
It just so happened that the base wanted to organize a Spring Festival Gala. Ruan Ning successfully signed up and was employed as a logistics support staff.
