Ning Zhiheng naturally knew what his mother was worried about, so he quickly reassured her. Of course, he wouldn't mention that he worked for the military intelligence department.
Even after I explained it to my mother, she still didn't understand what these specific military departments did, and I had to explain a lot more.
"Good logistics, good logistics! We're protected from the wind and sun, we don't have to go to the battlefield, and we even get some extra money!" Aunt Zheng exclaimed happily, slapping her thigh.
“Our family now has someone who can carry a gun. From now on, Zhipeng will support the family business outside, while Zhiheng will protect the family. Our Ning family business will continue to prosper.”
After saying that, she smiled ingratiatingly at Ning Zhiheng and said, "Don't forget to take care of your younger brother and sister. Our Ning family is all counting on you two brothers!"
"Look at what you're saying! They're brothers and sisters. Do you need to tell me that?" Mother Sang Su'e felt relieved and in a great mood, naturally finding everyone agreeable. Her tone towards Aunt Zheng also became warmer.
"That's right, that's right! I misspoke. You're so perceptive, elder sister." Aunt Zheng was flattered by Sang Su'e's reproach and kept smiling apologetically.
As they were talking, footsteps came from outside, and their father, Ning Liangcai, walked in.
Of the four children, Ning Zhiheng looks most like his father.
Ning Liangcai was dressed in a well-fitting blue satin robe with white linings on the sleeves. He had short hair and a short beard, and his eyes and brows revealed a sense of sophistication. He looked much younger than his actual age.
When Ning Zhiheng saw his father walk in, he quickly stood up and said, "Father, you're back!"
Upon entering, he learned from the servants that his second son had returned home. Looking at his son, he sensed a significant difference from his usual self; his tone was calm and unhurried, and his demeanor was increasingly composed.
The secret passage was also a training ground for military academy students. The young and naive boy of yesteryear has grown into a man in the blink of an eye.
In just one year, his demeanor had changed drastically, Ning Liangcai nodded to himself.
But he spoke in a stern fatherly tone: "When you do something, you either don't do it at all, or you do it well. Since you're studying at a military academy, you should act like a soldier. Why did you suddenly come back?"
Sang Su'e, sitting to the side, was greatly displeased to hear her husband scolding their son upon their first meeting. She glared at him and said, "Our child has been graduated for half a month, and you didn't even know? It's clear you don't care about your child at all; what are you thinking about all day? Zhiheng was lucky this time; he stayed in Jinling after graduation and is even working in the logistics department of the military government. This is an incredibly good thing!"
“Graduation? Isn’t there still six months left?” Ning Liangcai asked curiously. “How come you were assigned to the logistics department of the military government? That’s not a place just anyone can get into.”
Ning Liangcai had been in business for many years and was quite knowledgeable. Being able to work in the logistics department of the National Capital Military Government was not something an ordinary person could do.
Ning Zhiheng had no choice but to go along with the mistake and explained, "My teacher He Feng has extensive connections in the military, and he helped me arrange this position when I was assigned to my post."
Ning Liangcai felt greatly comforted upon hearing this. After all, although he said he was unwilling, he also didn't want his child to go out and fight.
I never expected Ning Zhiheng to graduate from military academy with such a satisfactory job assignment. He nodded and smiled, "It's definitely a good thing, worth having a couple of drinks with."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Ning Liangcai took his seat. The whole family then began to chat and laugh as they enjoyed their reunion dinner.
