Chapter 192 She Really Wants to Stay Here as a Volunteer
When the disaster victims and soldiers rushed to the food storage location again and saw the food, they were also shocked.
Especially those soldiers, they had seen relief supplies before, how could the food in front of them be as abundant as the one in front of them?
"Platoon leader, do you know who sent this?" a soldier couldn't help but ask.
The leader was also confused at the moment: "I don't know either. With so much supplies coming in, there's no movement at all. We should know the answer when our main force arrives."
In short, everyone had all sorts of thoughts when they saw the piles of food in front of them, but they couldn't figure out where the food came from. They could only guess that the person who delivered the relief supplies was in a hurry and rushed to the next rescue without even saying hello to everyone.
Although Shang Ruoting took these things out willingly, she and Tan Chen both felt a little guilty at the moment. After all, it was the first time for them to do something so secretive.
In fact, they ignored the victims' eagerness for food. When they had been hungry for more than a day, how could they have time to guess the source of the food?
The victims who received food walked back satisfied and gave the food to their relatives.
The same went for Master Shang. As soon as he brought back the food, he invited Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting to go back and eat together.
Although Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen were not hungry at all, they pretended to be hungry in order not to appear too out of place in front of these hungry people.
During the meal, Shang Ruoting saw that Uncle Shang was calmer, so she asked, "Uncle, do you know where my parents went?"
Mr. Shang's thoughts drifted back to more than ten years ago.
"When your parents came to live with us, they only lived at home for half a year and never found a stable job."
"Then your father heard from someone that you could go to Hong Kong by sea in the south, so he borrowed twenty yuan from us and took your mother south."
"Son-in-law, do you know their address in Gangcheng?" Shang Ruoting asked.
Master Shang shook his head and said, "Three months after they left, a letter arrived saying they had arrived in Pengcheng and were waiting for everyone to arrive and leave."
"We haven't heard from him since then."
Shang Ruoting was a little disappointed. After all, their purpose of coming to Bai City was to find Shang Lifeng and his wife.
After a lot of difficulties, they finally found their aunt's house, but the clue to Shang Lifeng was cut off.
Tan Chen also noticed that Shang Ruoting was a little disappointed, so he held her hand and whispered:
"Don't be sad, we can find a chance to go to Pengcheng and ask about it."
Seeing that the two were planning to go to Pengcheng, Mr. Shang gave an address based on his memory, which might not be accurate.
"Your father wrote to me saying that they are near the Pengcheng Port. They say there is a place there that takes people out to sea, but it costs quite a bit."
"I guess your parents didn't leave Pengcheng right away. They probably stayed there to earn money for going to sea."
"These were just the speculations of your aunt and I back then. We don't know the truth."
Shang Ruoting knew that they could not get any more useful information from Mr. Shang, but she still asked tentatively:
"Uncle, were there other people who went south with my parents back then?"
Master Shang was very clear about this: "When your aunt and I sent them to the train station together, there were two young men with them, but they were strangers, and I didn't know their identities."
Based on what Master Shang said, Shang Ruoting was able to conclude that the original owner's parents did not die in the earthquake.
As for wanting to get more clues, we can only go to the south and ask about the people who sent these mainlanders to sea.
All the supplies in Shang Ruoting's space have been taken out. Although it is far from enough to provide relief to the victims, it at least solves the urgent problem.
If she wasn't worried about Mrs. Shang getting anxious, she really wanted to stay here and be a volunteer.
Tan Chen had the same idea. He himself was a military man, and there was nothing wrong with him contributing his own strength in times of national crisis. But he also knew that Shang Ruoting was worried about Old Lady Shang, and he was worried about letting her go back alone.
He pulled Shang Ruoting and whispered softly, "Wife, let's go home now and tell grandma the news so that she won't worry."
Shang Ruoting knew that Tan Chen's passion was about to boil.
"How about you stay here and I go back by myself?"
Tan Chen shook his head: "No, let's go back together. We can still save people on the way."
Seeing his firm attitude, Shang Ruoting did not object.
"good."
Tan Chen knew that Old Lady Shang valued friendship and loyalty, and that Master Shang's family would definitely be saddened by the disaster, so he suggested:
"I see that my uncle and his family are temporarily homeless. Do you want to take them back to our place first?"
Shang Ruoting also had this plan. Seeing that Tan Chen had brought it up first, she agreed and said, "Okay, I'll ask them what they think."
