Chapter 533: The Son Wants to Support His Parents, but They Are No Longer Around
The smell on Rong Sanshao was too strong. Jiang Ning took out a bottle of boiled water from her bag and asked him to wash his face and hands.
After finding a place to sit down, Rong Sanshao told his experience, “I went out to sea to participate in the mission of finding survivors. The warship went to the Arctic to evacuate the survivors staying there, but we encountered a storm on the way back…”
They survived successfully, but parts of the warship were damaged and could no longer operate normally. What’s worse is that the big storm changed the ocean currents.
And it was also the season for strong winds.
With no other option, they had to go with the flow.
They drifted on the sea for almost three months, and to their surprise, they stumbled upon a new land.
Not just the new land, but also the southern military team he had been searching for in his dreams.
The team had just landed and was actively building a base.
The captain informed them of the coordinates of the new home. For some reason, the chief chose not to go to the Huacheng base. Instead, they firmly decided to stay.
However, they provided a lot of help. Not only did they repair the warship and give up fuel but they also shared a batch of supplies they had saved up.
Rong Sanshao was originally a soldier at the southern military base, and upon hearing the name of the base, he submitted an application to stay.
At the same time, those who wished to go to the Huacheng base were allowed to leave, Fengcheng Base will not stop them.
“Sister, in addition to me, Deputy Mayor He has also chosen to stay.”
The conditions at Huacheng base were much better, but both of them were originally from Fengcheng, and they felt a stronger sense of belonging to the Southern Military Base.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment. Besides the sense of belonging, he must have also wanted to search for his family.
If the Rong family knew about the existence of Fengcheng Base, they would probably choose to come here, and the chance of reunion would be greater.
She asked, “Did you find Old Master Rong?”
When Old Master Rong was mentioned, Rong Sanshao’s eyes reddened instantly. “The old man…”
In fact, his choice was right.
The Rong family really came, but there was no Old Master Rong anymore.
The Rong family had dozens of members, but in the end, only Rong Sanshao, the first son of Old Master Rong, and his daughter remained.
They came here half a year ago.
The former richest man in China and the leading figure in the business community of Fengcheng had met his end because of the natural disaster.
In fact, it’s not just them.
After more than ten years of natural disasters, it is estimated that less than one percent of the world has survived.
Although Old Master Rong often uses a cane to disciplined him, he actually dotes on his playboy son the most.
Rong Sanshao is rebellious and unruly, yet he has the closest relationship with Old Master Rong.
A son wants to support his parents, but his parents are no longer around.
Jiang Ning didn’t know how to comfort him.
She tried to change the subject, “How did you end up farming?”
Rong Sanshao hid his sorrow and smiled, “I promised the old man that I would support the Rong family. What’s wrong with farming? At least I’m the squad leader now. Farming is an honor for me.”
In the past, not to mention grabbing manure with hands, even diamonds and jade were too troublesome.
But now that the old man is no longer here, he has to live on his own and bear the responsibility of supporting the Rong family.
Jiang Ning continued to change the subject, “Where is Deputy Mayor He?”
“With my eldest brother and niece in the East District Plantation,” the third young master Rong explained. “I live in the military camp, and the three of them live together to look out for each other.”
Jiang Ning sighed. The spoiled young man had truly changed.
“Sister, brother-in-law, where are you staying?”
Rong Sanshao said enthusiastically, “I’ll take a few days to rest, and then I’ll come to see you.”
Huo Yishen said, “We just arrived and haven’t found a place to stay yet. We want to take a look at the base first and then decide whether to stay.”
“The conditions here are difficult, and there are no inns for now, but the management is strict, so the security is pretty good.”
Rong Sanshao couldn’t leave his post for too long, so he gave them the location of his place. “If you don’t have a place to stay, come here at night. I’ll find a way to get you a tent.”
After he left, Jiang Ning’s expression grew serious. “What do you think he really means by this?”
It was indeed a tricky question. No one had expected to meet Rong Sanshao, and they couldn’t quite figure out his thoughts at the moment.
Although Rong Sanshao appeared to be a reckless and spoiled young man, he was actually quite clever.
He must have guessed something; otherwise, he wouldn’t have warned Jiang Ning back then.
Jiang Ning didn’t know how to evaluate him. Before the disaster, he was a second-generation rich kid, practically holding half of the criminal law book, surrounded by luxury cars and beautiful women—a prodigal son who squandered money without a care, often shouting orders at his employees with no respect.
But he was very loyal to his friends.
Although the natural disasters had continuously slapped him in the face, he had learned how to be a better person.
After meeting her in the new city villa, someone flattered him, trying to gain his favor, but his loyalty to his friends hadn’t changed.
Over time, Jiang Ning, who had received occasional care from him, found herself somewhat attached to him. Deep down, she had come to recognize him.
After all, he called her “sister,” and she accepted him from the bottom of her heart.
But the most complicated thing is the human heart. In the past, Rong Sanshao only needed to care for himself, but now he has an elder brother and a niece and is responsible for the task of reviving the Rong family.
After two years of not seeing each other, who knows if he is still the same Rong Sanshao?
Doudou was at a loss. “Brother and sister-in-law, are we leaving again?”
They found a quiet and open space to sit down and discuss things.
Where should they go?
Humans are social beings. Because they chose to stay away due to their secret, Doudou suffered from depression and anxiety. Jiang Ning had a lover and a dog to accompany her, and the symptoms were relatively mild, but she suffered from low-desire syndrome.
After more than ten years of natural disasters, everyone had problems; even the dog was no exception.
Leaving the base and mixing with the chaotic survivors outside, where one day it’s someone stabbing you and the next it’s you stabbing them?
That was not a good choice.
Jiang Ning felt a headache coming on.
Huo Yishen thought deeply for a moment. “I think we can stay.”
Having spent so much time together, he trusted Rong Sanshao to a certain extent, but it was undeniable that human nature was the most unpredictable thing in a natural disaster.
Unless it was someone extremely close to him, Huo Yishen couldn’t fully trust anyone.
Whether Rong Sanshao’s intentions were sincere or not, as long as there was a weakness he could exploit, there wouldn’t be a big problem.
Family is a double-edged sword. It has become Rong Sanshao’s motivation, but it is also his weakness.
“Anning, Fengcheng Base is different from Huacheng Base. You are safer here.”
Jiang Ning knew what he meant. The head of Fengcheng Base is Gu Tinglin.
“Rong Sanshao is smart. Whether he is sincere or not, he will choose what is most beneficial to him.”
Unlike the Huacheng Base, which is a mixture of the five major military forces, Fengcheng was established by the original team of the Southern Military Base, and Gu Tinglin has always been in charge.
As long as the team was well-managed, the base wouldn’t face significant issues.
In addition, whether it’s their lifestyle, local culture, or possibly how the base is managed, it seems like it’s more suitable for the three of them to stay.
Jiang Ning knew exactly what Huo Yishen meant.
She looked at Doudou. “Do you like it here?”
Doudou thought for a moment and said, “Yes.”
Jiang Ning smiled and asked, “Why do you like it?”
It wasn’t as advanced as the Huacheng Base, but they could occasionally hear the dialect they hadn’t heard in a long time, which felt incredibly familiar.
It made people dream of returning to the Southern Military Base. She believed that one day it would be able to regain its former strength.
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, “Alright, let’s stay here.”
