Lan Chaolin didn't expect that this matter would be related to Ruan Ruan, but thinking about it, it made sense. She had completed the first leukemia surgery in the country, and these days, wherever there were people, they were talking about this. He heard that the leukemia patient had almost recovered and, judging from the tone of voice, was ready to be discharged from the hospital to recuperate.
With such excellent medical skills, it's easy to imagine that those people wanted to capture her.
"How are you? Are you alright?" Regardless of Lan Chaolin's current position—whether he's the mayor's secretary or Ruan Ruan's cousin—he doesn't want anything to happen to Ruan Ruan. Therefore, he can understand Huo Haocheng and Commander Gu's requests. If it were him, he would do the same.
“I’m fine. It’s just that I can’t leave the military region this week until Huo Haocheng comes back. But Uncle Kun and the others have already arrived. They’re both the type who can’t sit still. This whole thing happened so suddenly that I can’t tell them yet. I haven’t received a call from the charity either. I was thinking that they’ll be working with you in the future, so I was hoping you could talk to them when you have time and give them some guidance on the preliminary work.”
He's already so busy, I didn't want to bother him anymore, but since he asked, I was afraid he'd feel bad if I didn't tell him, since we're like siblings. But it's fine to tell him now, I'll go when he's free, there's no rush.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go there on my way after get off work." Lan Chaolin also knew that starting the charity as soon as possible would only benefit both him and the mayor. Moreover, this time, they had inadvertently removed a lot of thorns in their side, which would be enough for him to arrange for his own people to fill the gaps.
"This isn't urgent, Brother Chaolin, you should rest first, I won't bother you anymore." Ruan Ruan didn't want to take up his rest time. For someone as lazy as her, if anyone took up her off-get off work time, she would definitely curse their ancestors for eight generations.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Just listen to Uncle Gu and the others during this time, don't run around, stay at home obediently, okay!" Lan Chaolin didn't spend much time with her, but he could feel that his little cousin was very capable in doing things. Sometimes, he even wanted to keep her by his side and teach her properly, maybe she would become a tough woman in the future.
His idea stemmed from a lack of understanding of Ruan Ruan. If he knew even a little about her life, he wouldn't have had this thought.
Fortunately, he didn't mention it in front of her, otherwise, he might not have seen her for a long time.
Seriously, with such tiring work, I can't do anything at all.
"I know, okay, I won't say anymore, bro, you go ahead and do your thing, bye-bye." Why do they all love to nag so much! I quickly finished speaking and hung up the phone in one smooth motion. I was just feeling sorry for him not getting enough rest, but as soon as I heard him start nagging, I took back my concern. If you have time to nag, go back to work!
Although Commander Gu didn't hear the whole conversation, he could tell from Ruan Ruan's words how busy they were. When Commander Zheng gave him the list of people to be arrested, he didn't expect so many government personnel to be arrested. Although they were all low-level employees, with the highest-ranking being a section chief, the sheer number of them kept them busy.
After making the call, Ruan Ruan, who was still busy with Commander Gu, said goodbye and went back home.
After being hung up on, Lan Chaolin wasn't annoyed. He put down the receiver and headed towards Mayor Guo's office.
These people were all arrested by the military. They only knew where the people went, but not why. Now, Ruan Ruan has explained things to them. So, he first went to talk to the mayor to clarify things, and then arranged other matters.
We didn't know why they were arrested before, so we didn't dare to make any big moves, in case we needed their cooperation for something. Now that we know they can't come back, we definitely need to quickly send our own people over.
After leaving the mayor's office, Lan Chaolin went to make arrangements.
Mayor Guo hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Now he truly felt that Comrade Ruan Ruan was a lucky star. After thinking for a while, he still called Commander Gu. Knowing the reason was one thing, but as the mayor, he still had to inquire about the arrest of his government personnel.
Stepping out of the military headquarters, Ruan Ruan felt incredibly tired. She glanced at the sky; there was a gentle breeze and no sun, perfect for sleeping. It was still early, and since she was home alone, taking another nap wouldn't be unreasonable.
Thinking this, she quickened her pace, returned home, quickly washed up, and went to bed.
She slept until 1 p.m., then got up, casually chopped some potato shreds, cabbage leaves, and added an egg to make a super-sized fried rice.
After eating, I tidied myself up and then set off for the field with seeds, a small hoe, a bucket, and other tools to prepare for planting vegetables.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw that the gate to the courtyard of Commander Zheng's house next door was tightly closed. She looked inside and saw only two chickens catching in the yard.
"Where did Sister Xia go?"
After thinking for a moment, I picked up my things and continued walking.
Along the way, she encountered several women, including older women, who were also heading to the fields to plant vegetables.
"Commander Huo's wife, are you going to plant vegetables too?" The old woman saw that she was carrying things and walking the same way as her, so she guessed that she was also going to plant vegetables.
"Yes, Auntie, are you going to plant vegetables too?" Actually, Ruan Ruan had almost forgotten whose auntie this was, but it wouldn't be good not to respond when someone calls you that, so she could only reply in a uniform way. Fortunately, the older ones were all called "Auntie" and the younger ones were all called "Sister-in-law". It was different from the village in her hometown, where you had to call people according to their seniority. If you were not careful, you would call them by the wrong seniority.
"So what kind of vegetables are you planning to grow?" Every day when their children came home, they would tell them about Huo Haocheng and how he was doing, and they were told not to get into any conflicts with Commander Huo's wife, saying that they couldn't take a beating.
The family compound is only so big. They had all heard about what had happened to Comrade Ruan Ruan before, but they had never seen Huo Haocheng beat someone up. Later, they also heard that several of Comrade Ruan Ruan's brothers had gone to find someone to spar with. So, even if it was for the sake of their own children or men, they would not have a conflict with Ruan Ruan.
For them, it would be best to have a good relationship; if not, it's fine as it is now, just a greeting when we meet and a simple exchange of pleasantries.
"I just planted a few randomly." Hearing her sister-in-law ask, Ruan Ruan looked at the seeds in her bucket. To be honest, when she bought them, the salesperson asked her which kind she wanted, and she asked them to give her a little of each. Although the seeds were packaged separately, she didn't recognize any of them!
After chatting with my sisters-in-law for a bit, they all went to their respective plots of land and started working on their own tasks.
