Chapter 120: Chief Qin Calls

This old flip phone suddenly rang. Could it be that Commander Qin and the others needed her help?
Are there more suspicious people in the desert?

Xu Ying's eyes suddenly lit up, gleaming with brilliance.

After explaining the situation to Qiao Yuxi, she walked aside and answered the phone: "Hello?"

A strong male voice rang out from the other end of the line: "Comrade Xu Ying, I'm your Uncle Qin. Do you remember me?"

Xu Ying hurriedly said, "Remember, remember, Uncle Qin, have you discovered traces of spies again?"

Officer Qin on the other end of the line couldn't help but laugh and jokingly said, "The girl is so concerned about confidentiality, she's obsessed with catching spies."

"Hahaha, of course!"

Xu Ying scratched his head embarrassedly, wondering if he had just been too greedy for money.

"I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I'm calling to discuss the medal and the bonus. As for the spy, I'll have to rely on your help in the investigation."

Commander Qin explained the purpose of his call.

Xu Ying's eyes lit up when she heard the word "medal". Chen Su had told her that the bank card for the bonus would be issued together with the medal, but the medal given to her was special, so the process might be slower.

However, when she heard Chen Su say that the medal was made of pure gold and was carefully carved by machines at the military headquarters, Xu Ying felt that she could wait until the end of time!

"Uncle Qin, is the medal ready?"

"Yes," Commander Qin replied. "It took a month to send it out because we were waiting for this custom medal. We had to expedite it several times. This medal is very valuable, equivalent to our internal first-class merit, and the application process is quite lengthy."

God!

First class merit!

Xu Ying's face flushed with excitement.

Commander Qin asked, "If I were to present you with the medal the day after tomorrow, would that be convenient for you?"

"We want to prepare an awards ceremony and take a commemorative photo. We'll also publish the report in our internal newspaper so troops across the country can see it."

Wow, national praise!
Xu Ying suppressed her excitement and screamed, "It's convenient! Of course it's convenient!"

Commander Qin smiled and said, "Okay, our military photographer will be at your aid station the day after tomorrow morning. We'd like to film a special report based on your day's work. What do you think?"

Xu Ying chuckled and said, "Whatever arrangements you make are fine, I'll cooperate!"

"Okay, then we'll see you the day after tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ying's heart was still pounding.

It seems that the contribution she made is much greater than she imagined.

After calming down, Xu Ying picked up her smartphone and continued chatting with Qiao Yuxi: "Yuxi, I'm back."

Seeing that Xu Ying hadn't yet gone to the bathroom, Qiao Yuxi urged her, "Go check out your new bathroom!"

Wow, the bathroom was upgraded too?

Xu Ying pushed open the door of the washroom located at the right rear of the rescue station.

The original simple washroom made of cement has been upgraded and renovated into a dry and wet separated bathroom with smooth and neat tiles.

The light coming in from the small window is bright and clean, which makes people feel cheerful.

"Your desert isn't good at all, but the only good thing is that it has plenty of solar energy!"

Qiao Yuxi was planning to have her uncle invest in more solar energy projects to benefit Xu Ying. "The construction team installed the latest photovoltaic panels on the shelter's roof. The solar energy they store daily is more than enough to cover your daily electricity needs." Xu Ying turned on the sink faucet and washed his hands. "Where does the water in this faucet come from?"

"Didn't you say the little gerbil's home was flooded?"

Qiao Yuxi watched as Xu Ying's humble little house was upgraded to its current state. She felt like she was playing a renovation game. She told Xu Ying, "The construction team laid a pipe to connect the shower room to the groundwater beneath the abandoned gerbil nest."

"From now on, you won't have to run outside every time to get hot water for a bath!"

"The little gerbils also helped during this process. They're so clever! They even chewed the construction workers' trouser legs and helped them find the leaking part!"

"The Gobi bear even helped carry materials, and the construction team leader wanted to hire it!"

He's strong and can do anything as long as he's fed! He's a natural for this job.

Qiao Yuxi burst into laughter. The animals in the desert were so adorable. She already missed her days at Xu Ying's rescue station. "Your animals have made a huge contribution to this high renovation efficiency."

"In this way, I will have to thank them later!"

Not only do they have a new bathing room, but behind the rescue station, the construction team also built a place for bathing animals, with a large pool and a large shower. The water after the shower can flow into the desert through pipes and be used to irrigate the sparse vegetation around the rescue station.

Small animals in the desert don't need to take a bath frequently; they usually clean themselves by rolling in the sand.

However, if a large animal is injured and needs its wound washed, this open-air bathhouse is very convenient.

Xu Ying carefully walked around the renovated rescue station.

She gasped, "Is this really just a simple renovation?"

It is more luxurious than many rental houses in urban villages.

In the past, no matter how well the 032 rescue station was cleaned up, it still looked shabby, with a feeling of being barefoot. But now it looks like a warm home.

When Xu Ying thought about the fact that she could live in such a house until retirement, without having to pay rent, water, and electricity, and that the state would still give her salary and subsidies, she felt dizzy with happiness.

She pinched her arm hard to confirm that everything in front of her was not an illusion, but real.

"Yuxi, thank you so much and your uncle."

——"Woman, I don't allow you to say thank you to me!"

Qiao Yuxi said in a coquettish tone, "Didn't I tell you this? You saved my life, and this life belongs to you. How could our Qiao family bear to see our savior living in such a shabby house?"

"My uncle and I want to build you a diamond villa in the desert like the Zhongwei Desert Diamond Hotel!"

"No, no, this is too much." Xu Ying waved her hand quickly: "Let's keep it simple. But as a government employee, the house doesn't need to be too luxurious, just enough to live in."

Qiao Yuxi was still busy with work, and Xu Ying didn't want to disturb her for too long.

After finishing the call with Qiao Yuxi, Xu Ying went to look for the lettuce she planted.

Her vegetable basket was still in the same place in front of the window.

The lettuce is lush and green, one crop after another, and it will be ready to be picked and eaten in another week.

Xu Ying's face was filled with a happy smile. When she picked up the fox cubs, they would definitely be excited for a long time when they saw their brand new nest.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the rescue station.

Ling Yu's voice rang out from outside the door: "Master Xu, I'm here to say goodbye."
