Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Director Xie straightened his clothes and saluted Liu Jingxue solemnly. "Comrade Liu Jingxue, I am representing the Public Security Bureau. I have reported the human traffickers for you and captured them myself. I am giving you a reward."

Taking the silk banner from the young police officer who was following him, Director Xie handed it to Liu Jingxue with both hands, "This is a silk banner given to you by the organization."

Liu Jingxue quickly took it with both hands.

Director Xie took out another envelope from his bosom and handed it to Liu Jingxue with both hands, "This is the reward given to you by the organization for your two meritorious services.

Originally, the reward should have been made public, but considering the human traffickers and their suppliers, their power is complex and intertwined.

Although most of them have been arrested, a few are still on the run.

For your safety, we have to inconvenience you and let us deliver the reward privately."

Liu Jingxue held the banner but did not take the envelope. "Thank you, Director. I will accept the banner, but I don't need the reward."

“This cannot be avoided.

In order to encourage the general public to fight against evil forces, the organization has allocated a special reward fund.

I know you have a high level of ideological awareness, but if you don’t accept it, if the news gets out, other people may not be willing to report the evil forces to the Public Security Bureau.”

After saying that, Director Xie forced the envelope into Liu Jingxue's hands.

"It's not a lot of money, just a token of my appreciation. I hope you don't mind."

Secretary Yan said, "Liu Zhiqing, you still have to take the reward you deserve.

In addition to the reward given to you by the Public Security Bureau, the commune will also reward you."

As he spoke, he took out an envelope and handed it to Liu Jingxue, "Thank you for bringing fame to our commune and making it famous in front of the leaders.

The reward is not much, just one hundred yuan, don't think it's too little."

Liu Jingxue repeatedly said she didn't dare.

Since she had accepted Director Xie's gift, she didn't act pretentiously and accepted it as well.

Director Xie pointed to the pile of things behind him and said, "Liu Zhiqing, these are the gifts from the families of the rescued women and children to thank you.

For security reasons, we do not reveal your identity to them.

But they were so enthusiastic and kept pestering us, we must thank you.

We have no choice but to collect some items that are not against the rules and pass them on to you on their behalf."

Liu Jingxue looked at the pile of malted milk, cakes, White Rabbit candy, brown sugar, cloth, canned fruit, and even bacon and dried fish, feeling helpless.

"Thank you, Director. This is really too much. How about this?"

Before she could finish her words, Director Xie interrupted her and said, "Please don't ask me to return these things. I really can't return them.

These are the few things that are left after we rejected a lot of things.

If we go back, the relatives will probably tear down our public security bureau.”

The young police officer next to him also said, "Comrade Liu, please don't embarrass us.

During this period, people come to the Public Security Bureau every day to inquire about you and ask us to send things to you.

We already have a lot of things to do every day, and now this kind of thing has added to the mix. We are really overwhelmed.

You should be kind enough to accept these things, so that the relatives won’t come looking for us again.”

Secretary Yan advised, "You reported the traffickers and saved their relatives. If you don't let them express their gratitude, I'm afraid they will feel uneasy.

Liu Zhiqing, you can accept these things with peace of mind."

"Okay, then I'll accept these. Please don't give them to me again in the future," said Liu Jingxue.

Director Xie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the team leader and Secretary Xu beside him. "In addition to Liu Zhiqing, the Red Star Production Team of Qianjin Commune also made contributions by arresting the human traffickers and sending them to the Public Security Bureau."

He took the other banner from the young police officer and said, "This banner is for your production team."

The team leader was so excited that he couldn't control his voice and said, "There are also people from our production team."

Director Xie smiled calmly, "Of course. You sent the captured human traffickers to us and provided important intelligence, which allowed us to arrest their superiors. Your contribution is not small."

The captain stepped forward excitedly, took the banner with both hands, and touched it lovingly.

Secretary Xu on the side also came over and reached out to touch the banner.

The two of them whispered, "We need to find a clean place in the brigade headquarters to hang it up.

This is the glory of our village.”

Secretary Yan looked at the team leader and Secretary Xu with a smile, "The commune has also held a meeting to discuss this. In view of the meritorious service your production team has made this time, the commune's tractor quota for next year will be given to your village.

You should save money as soon as possible.”

The captain was overjoyed. This good news came a little unexpectedly. "Secretary Yan, this is serious."

"How could I lie to you in front of Director Xie?" Secretary Yan was questioned and said unhappily.

"If you don't want it, I can take back what I just said."

Upon hearing this, the captain said quickly, "Yes, yes, yes, how could I not want to.

You know how many times our village has approached the municipality for the tractor quota."

“There are too many monks and too little porridge, and we can’t do anything about it.

If your production team had not made a contribution this time and shut up others, we would not have been able to give you the quota." Secretary Yan explained.

Secretary Xu was so happy that he was a little incoherent, and he kept saying, "Thank you, thank you organization, thank you Secretary Yan.

Great! Our village will finally have a tractor."

Secretary Yan quickly corrected, "It's not given to you for free, it's just a quota for you, you still have to pay for it."

"That's natural, that's natural," the captain said hurriedly.

Director Xie said goodbye, "Now that the matter is done, we have to go back."

“Thank you, Chief. Please stay for a quick meal.

Secretary Yan is coming too." The captain hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.

"Yes, yes, you must stay for dinner."

"I won't eat. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in the bureau." Director Xie declined.

He looked at Liu Jingxue, "Liu Zhiqing, if you go to town, come and sit in the bureau."

Secretary Yan laughed and said, "How can you invite people to the Public Security Bureau as a guest?"

Director Xie reacted and said quickly, "I said the wrong thing. Come to my house when you have time."

"Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time," Liu Jingxue said politely.

As for home, forget it. The two of them are not that familiar with each other yet. Let's just go to the police station and sit down.

She is not like people of this generation who are afraid of going to the police station.

After all, in later life, many things have to be handled at the Public Security Bureau, and she has become accustomed to it.

Seeing that Director Xie was unwilling to stay, the team leader looked at Secretary Yan and said, "Secretary Yan, Director Xie has something to do. You have to stay for dinner and give us some guidance on the work of our production team."

"I won't stay. I just came here during my busy schedule. I have a meeting later."

Secretary Yan said to Director Xie, "I will go with you, but I'll have to trouble you to take me back to the commune.

I don’t want to have to walk back later.”

Director Xie smiled and said, "Secretary Yan, you are too polite. Since we asked you to lead the way, we must send you back."

The team leader, Secretary Xu, and Liu Jingxue quickly escorted them out the door and into the car.
