The next morning, Huo Haocheng and Ruan Shaohong, carrying their luggage, got into Ruan Chuanji's car. In the afternoon, Huo Songhuai and his wife, along with Ruan Ruan, set off from Beijing Railway Station to meet Huo Haojie at the black market.
Within a day, the bustling Ruan family returned to its usual tranquility. Huo Haoshen and his three companions also left the following morning to return to Yuncheng.
On the afternoon of January 3rd, Huo Songhuai and his two companions arrived at the black market. This time, no one picked them up. Fortunately, Huo Songhuai knew the way, so after getting off the bus, he led them to a public bus. Half an hour later, they got off at the entrance of an alley. Carrying their luggage, they walked into the alley and stopped in front of a courtyard gate. He knocked on the door a few times, three short and three long. Within two minutes, the door opened, and Huo Haojie opened it.
"Father, Mother, Ruan Ruan, you've come."
After entering the house, Huo Haojie led them inside. "Father, Mother, Ruan Ruan, please have some hot water to warm up."
Where is your Uncle Kun?
"Dad, Uncle Kun heard that Ruan Ruan was coming, so he went out to buy things."
"Ruan Ruan, knowing you were coming, Uncle Kun contacted people here yesterday. He wants to introduce you all to them this time."
"good"
A short while later, Uncle Kun returned with the things.
"Ah Kun, long time no see!" Huo Songhuai heard someone knocking on the door and immediately went to open it, only to see the person standing outside.
Ah Kun was seriously injured in battle and was later rescued by Bai Shu, but he lost an arm. After being discharged from the army and returning home, his older brother disliked him because he was disabled and his parents were old. He had no choice but to live alone. Fortunately, after Bai Shu learned about his situation, he hired him to manage his black market medicine business.
Just as things were starting to improve, the traditional Chinese medicine industry began to be suppressed. With no other option, Ah Kun had to move all the TCM doctors who practiced medicine to underground operations. And as soon as he heard the news, with the help of Huo Songhuai, he closed all the publicly known businesses and donated a lot of usable items to the country.
He quickly arranged for his people to work in various factories. In those years, too many people had benefited from Bai Shu's kindness, and Ah Kun was very good at interpersonal relationships, maintaining excellent connections in the black market. So when they needed help, they were willing to lend a hand. Besides, these days, who doesn't get sick sometimes? Having a highly skilled doctor by their side would put their minds at ease.
"Songhuai, long time no see! How long have you been here?" When Ah Kun saw that the person who opened the door was Huo Songhuai, he was first stunned, then very happy. He put down what he was holding and gave him a big hug.
"Just arrived, come in first." Huo Songhuai patted him on the shoulder, then picked up the things he had prepared, closed the door, and went inside.
"Ruan Ruan, come here, let me introduce you. This is your Uncle Kun. Over the years, thanks to him, Mr. Bai Shu's people have been able to live a peaceful and prosperous life."
"Uncle Kun, hello, I'm Ruan Ruan. Thank you for your hard work these past years." Ruan Ruan was standing by the door when she heard the knock. After seeing them come in, she took two steps back to make room for them to enter.
"It's no trouble at all, Miss Ruan Ruan. It's our first time meeting, and I didn't even come to pick you up. I hope you won't mind." It was also the first time that A-Kun had met Ruan Ruan. He remembered that when Mr. Bai Shu found him, he told him to wait here for an 18-year-old girl. Once she arrived, she would be his only master.
Later, because of the Digital Gang, Huo Songhuai came to find him with Bai Shu's token. With his help, they hid their people. In the following years, Huo Songhuai would bring Huo Haojie to visit them. Today, he finally met his master.
"Uncle Kun, just call me Ruan Ruan." Huo Songhuai had given her a brief introduction of Uncle Kun earlier, and now that she had met him, he was just as her father had said: an upright and capable man.
"Okay, then I'll call you Ruan Ruan."
His first reaction upon seeing Ruan Ruan was that she was a very pretty young girl. When she saw him, she showed no contempt or superiority, and she did not feel sympathy or any other opinion towards him just because he was Pingji. From beginning to end, the way she looked at him was very ordinary.
"Ruan Ruan, Hao Jie should have told you. I notified the others about your arrival, but they can only come after get off work."
"Okay, Uncle Kun, please make the arrangements for me."
Hearing her polite words, he didn't say much, took the things to the kitchen, and began preparing dinner.
"Uncle Kun, I'll cook dinner tonight. You and Dad haven't seen each other in so long, you must have a lot to talk about. You two should have a good chat."
Ruan Ruan and Wang Qun followed A Kun into the kitchen and said to him
Hearing her words, Ah Kun saw her serious expression and didn't refuse. He put the things down, explained everything to them, and then left on his own.
"Ruan Ruan, you can start the fire, I'll take care of the rest." After A Kun left, Wang Qun let her sit in front of the stove. Then, he started working. He looked at the fermented dough on the cutting board, saw that there was still time, so he steamed the buns first, and then started chopping vegetables.
When the others came over after get off work, they had already prepared the meal.
At the dinner table, Ah Kun introduced them to each other.
There were three people who came, all of whom were practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, but they were currently working in a steel factory, a food factory, and a wood factory, respectively.
After meeting the three of them, Ruan Ruan didn't chat with them much, leaving the men alone. After a few rounds of drinks, they all got up to see the three out. Watching them leave, Ruan Ruan asked, "Uncle Kun, does that man have anyone else at home?"
Hearing her words and following her gaze, I asked, "Are you asking about Zhang Da? He has an elderly mother and his wife at home."
