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

Watching the car go away, the captain turned to thank Liu Jingxue, "Xiaoxue, thank you so much this time.

The commune must have given our village a quota for tractors this time because of your great contribution.

You don’t know how many years our village has wanted to buy a tractor. We have been asking for quotas from the commune every year, but we have never been able to get one.”

"Yes, if you hadn't made such a great contribution this time and alerted the higher-ups, the commune wouldn't have given us the quota so readily.

We are all blessed by you." Secretary Xu also sighed.

Liu Jingxue quickly declined, "How could it be all my credit?

It must be our production team. Our performance over the years has caught the attention of the commune leaders.

Otherwise, even if I have made great contributions, if the production team fails to deliver, the commune leaders will not give the quota to the village.”

“Besides, it was you who sent the traffickers to the police station.

Even if the village benefits a little from me, that's as it should be. I am also a part of the village.

Captain, Uncle Xu keeps thanking me. Don't you think of me as a villager?"

"Ha, ha, ha, yes, you are also a part of the village," Secretary Xu laughed.

He turned to look at the team leader and said, "Lao Zhang, we have to tell everyone this good news. We have been looking forward to the tractor for many years."

The captain nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's almost time for lunch now, and there's not much to do in the fields right now, so there's no need to eat in the fields.

Go gather all the villagers together and tell them about this so they can all be happy."

The team leader reminded him again, "However, Director Xie asked us to conceal the fact that Xiaoxue reported the human traffickers.

Then we can just say that she was the reward given to her because she caught those two human traffickers herself.

Let's get our word out first, so as not to let the news leak out and cause trouble for Xiaoxue."

"Okay, let's say this." Secretary Xu agreed with the captain's proposal.

The captain sighed, "Xiaoxue, you are so tight-lipped that you didn't even tell us that you were the one who discovered the human traffickers in the town and reported them to the police station.

If Director Xie hadn't come to tell us about this today, we would still be kept in the dark."

“Didn’t Director Xie ask for confidentiality and not let me tell anyone?

And it’s nothing, I think anyone who finds those traffickers will report them to the police station.” Liu Jingxue explained.

Secretary Xu disagreed, "That's not necessarily true.

If it were someone else, even if they noticed something abnormal about those people, they probably wouldn't have thought that they were human traffickers.

Even if they found out, they couldn't help but alert the human traffickers.

After all, it is you, Xiaoxue, who is more capable."

Seeing the children playing outside the brigade headquarters, Secretary Xu hurriedly called them over and asked them to tell the patrolling militia to go and notify the villagers to go to the sunba for a meeting, as there was something important to announce.

Thinking of the things piled up in the corner of the office, and the gossipy women and red-eye disease in the village, the captain said hurriedly,

"Xiaoxue, get a backpack and take all the things Director Xie sent back before the villagers come.

Lest someone see it and cause trouble."

Those things were very valuable. Not to mention other people, even they felt jealous when they saw them.

Secretary Xu nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, take those things away quickly."

"Then I'll go home and get the backpack, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back."

"Don't go back to get the backpack. You won't have enough time or you'll run into the villagers.

I'll get the key, open the tool room, and get you a backpack from there. You can take your things back quickly.

Just return the backpack later."

Liu Jingxue had originally planned to go home and get a backpack to carry the things on her back, but after hearing what Secretary Xu said, she saved herself from having to make two extra trips.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Xu."

After Secretary Xu brought the backpack, Liu Jingxue hurriedly cleaned up the pile of things.

Looking at the pile of pastries and thinking about the children outside the brigade office, Liu Jingxue took out most of the pastries.

There were also several packs of White Rabbit milk candy, and she took out two packs.

Put the specially distributed cakes and candies aside, and pack the other things into the backpack one by one.

Liu Jingxue pointed at the cakes and White Rabbit candies that had been distributed and said to the team leader, "Uncle Captain, could you please help distribute these things to the children in the village?"

"Xiaoxue, these things are thank-you gifts from others. Just eat them yourself. There's no need to share them with others." The captain refused.

"Captain, cakes have a shelf life and can't be kept for too long.

I don’t know how long these things have been kept in the Public Security Bureau, so it’s better to eat them as soon as possible.

I left a lot for myself, I couldn't eat it all.

If you don’t have time to finish it, it will expire and it will be wasted.”

Secretary Xu asked curiously, "Do pastries have a shelf life?"

Liu Jingxue didn’t know whether there was such a thing as a shelf life in this era, but for now she could only hold on.

"Of course. Even if we don't eat the leftovers at home for a long time, they will become moldy and spotted. The same is true for cakes."

After hearing what Liu Jingxue said, the captain nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep the cakes.

But you can take this candy back and eat it yourself, it can be kept for a long time."

Liu Jingxue pointed to the backpack and said, "Captain, I still have a few bags left for myself.

You can’t eat too much sugar, it will cause tooth decay.”

"What is tooth decay?" Secretary Xu hurriedly inquired after hearing something new.

“It’s worms in the teeth.

Children in the city who often eat sweets will have toothaches. They go to the doctor and the doctor says it is caused by eating too much sweets and all their teeth are damaged.

Liu Jingxue deliberately covered her mouth, "I have a mouth full of teeth, and when I open my mouth to talk, there are holes all over my teeth, which is scary.

If the child has not yet passed the tooth-changing period, it is not a big deal. Once the baby teeth are replaced, everything will be fine.

If the child has passed the period of tooth replacement, that set of teeth will stay with him for the rest of his life, which is scary to think about.

I don't dare eat so much sugar.

Captain, please help me share these candies with the children in the village."

The team leader knew that she most likely said that on purpose, just to give some benefits to the children in the village.

These bastards in the village have never eaten these things.

He had no right to reject Liu Jingxue's kindness, so he said, "Okay, then I thank you on behalf of the children in the village."

"No thanks, no thanks, they all call me sister."

Liu Jingxue carried the backpack on her back and said, "Captain, Uncle Xu, I'm leaving first. I'll come to the meeting later."

After returning home and putting the things into the space, Liu Jingxue picked up the two envelopes and started counting them.

In the envelope given by Director Xie, there were fifty Great Unity banknotes and five hundred yuan.

The envelope Secretary Yan gave contained ten Great Unity notes and one hundred yuan.

Liu Jingxue put the money into the space.

If she had two savings books, the total amount would be more than 10,000 yuan.

And there is more than 30,000 in cash.

She didn't dare to deposit so much cash into her passbook. After all, the last time she went to the bank and deposited more than 3,000 yuan, it caused such a big commotion. She didn't dare to try it again.

Liu Jingxue didn't dare to delay for long and went back to the brigade headquarters with the backpack.

When she came back just now, she saw some people walking towards the drying dam, and she thought the meeting would be held soon.

After returning the backpack, Liu Jingxue followed the team leader and others to the drying dam.
