After dinner that evening, Sheng Zeyan sat on the sofa reading a newspaper, while Bai Youyou lay on his legs, reading a medical book she had bought from a scrap collection station with great interest.

After Sheng Zeyan finished reading a newspaper, he looked down and saw the medical book in her hand and was very surprised.

"Youyou, when did you start reading medical books?"

Bai Youyou looked at the medical book and replied calmly:

"Oh, today!"

Sheng Zeyan saw that she was reading very enthusiastically. He lowered his head to glance at the contents of the book and asked, "Where did you get this book from? Can you understand what it says?"

"I bought it at the scrap yard for fifty cents. I can't understand it, but that doesn't stop me from looking at it."

When Bai Youyou was in modern times, she really wanted to study medicine, but if it hadn't taken too long to study medicine, she wouldn't have settled for other majors.

Since she has some free time now, she can also study on her own since she doesn't have to work anyway.

"Scrap collection station, when and where did you go?"

Bai Youyou still looked at the contents of the book and answered Sheng Zeyan's words.

"I went there today when I went to the supply and marketing cooperative with my sisters-in-law to buy things." After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something, and finally put the book down and looked at Sheng Zeyan.

"Honey, let me tell you, there are a lot of good things in this scrap recycling station. I found a lot of treasures there today."

Sheng Zeyan didn't believe it. "Baby, there's no such thing as a treasure."

"Why, you don't believe me? Go back to the room and I'll show you. Then you'll know what treasures there are."

After saying that, he stood up and took Sheng Zeyan to their room.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw several boxes on the table which was originally used to store small items.

Bai Youyou walked over, holding one of the boxes and said:

"Hey, all the treasures are in here!"

Sheng Zeyan walked up to her and looked at the box in her arms and asked:

“What’s in here?”

"Hey, just open it and you'll know."

Hearing this, Sheng Zeyan raised his hand to open the box. What he saw was a beautiful wooden box with ancient patterns. When he opened the wooden box again, he saw several pieces of gold and a very beautiful bracelet lying quietly inside.

This really shocked Sheng Zeyan.

You have to know that at that time, gold was very difficult to buy, not to mention how expensive it was. According to him, the price of gold per gram was about 18 yuan, while the current average salary was around 30 or 40 yuan.

Even a job like theirs only earns about a hundred yuan a month, so how much would all the gold in his wife's hands be worth!

"Wife, where did you get so much gold?"

Bai Youyou was very happy to see his surprised expression.

"It's in the book! Honey, let me tell you how lucky I am. Didn't I go to the supply and marketing cooperative with my sisters-in-law to buy things today?

After we finished shopping, one of my sisters-in-law said she wanted to go to the scrap collection station to see if there were any furniture like tables for sale.

So we went with her. They went to look at furniture, and I didn't want to buy anything, so I just wandered around and saw a box of books in a big wooden box in a corner.

I felt it was a pity to see those books just lying there, so I went to the doorman and bought them for fifty cents.

When I bought it, my sisters-in-law said I was stupid. With that money, why not buy books? They can’t eat or wear them.

But who told me to like it? I still spent money to buy it.

Husband, you don’t know how much effort I put into getting that box of books back. The box was so heavy, so Sister Wang Yan and I each carried one side and brought it back from the village.

After carrying the books home, we were exhausted. We rested for a long time before Sister Wang Yan left. After she left, I started thinking about sorting out the books.

Who would have known that, when I took out the books one by one and sorted them, I would find that there were more than a dozen books that were much heavier than the others.

I took out those books separately and read them. When I wanted to open them, I found that they could not be opened. In the end, I cut them open with scissors.

After cutting it open, the middle of the book was empty, and the gold and bracelets were hidden inside.

How about it, my husband, I am very lucky.

After hearing Bai Youyou's happy words, Sheng Zeyan was also happy.

"Yeah! My wife is very lucky. So what are those boxes behind you?"

This time, Bai Youyou's smile was much bigger than before.

"These were all found in the box. Although they don't seem worth much now, they may be valuable in the future!

[Hey, the things in those boxes will be valuable in the future.]

The other two boxes contained some jade pendants and jade bracelets, which were simply thrown into the boxes.

I thought it looked nice, so I packed it up in a box. Oh! By the way, besides these, there are also several volumes of the medical books I was just reading."

After listening to this, Sheng Zeyan raised his hand to close the box, then touched Bai Youyou's head and said with a smile:

"Youyou, don't take these things out casually in the future. If someone with ulterior motives finds them, something bad will happen, you know."

"I know. I haven't told anyone. We'll just keep these things until they can be used."

"it is good."

After Bai Youyou put the things away, the two returned to the sofa.

It was only then that Bai Youyou remembered to tell Sheng Zeyan about Zhang Ping's family.

"Hubby, I want to tell you something!"

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Bai Youyou hesitated for a long time before saying:

"Hubby, if I say that Zhang Ping's family is a spy planted by an island nation in your army, would you believe it?"

After Bai Youyou finished speaking, she kept looking at Sheng Zeyan, afraid of missing any of his expressions.

But from beginning to end, Sheng Zeyan didn't show any emotion and kept looking at her with a smile.

His expression made Bai Youyou seem to have thought of something, and she looked at him in surprise.

"Husband, you didn't know that there were spies in your army! How did you know? Could it be that you have been investigating them for a long time?"

Sheng Zeyan, who had already known Bai Youyou's thoughts from her heart, had to tell her a white lie when he heard her question.

"Yes! We have already been investigating their family, and we should have results soon."

Bai Youyou heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Sheng Zeyan's words, and leaned back on the sofa and said:

"That's good. I was worried you wouldn't believe me. Zhang Ping looks like a normal person, but I didn't expect she was actually a spy."

Sheng Zeyan took her hand and patted it gently:

"Spies are the best at disguises, but we won't let them off easily. And we still want to thank you this time."

"Why thank me? I didn't even help you. Weren't you already investigating them?"

"Then do you know when we started investigating them?"

"How should I know this? Tell me when you discovered it."

“I discovered it on the second day after we arrived at the army, when we went to buy furniture.

So, this is also your credit in disguise."

Alas, can this not be attributed to you? I knew it from your heart.

Bai Youyou's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Really? Then I can be considered contributing to the country in disguise."

"Of course, what's mine is yours." Sheng Zeyan smiled dotingly.

"Hey, what's mine is still mine."

…………

Ever since they talked that day, Bai Youyou never asked about Sheng Zeyan and Zhang Ping's family affairs again. After all, Sheng Zeyan would tell her the results.

A few days later, Sheng Zeyan really brought back the news.

"Youyou, Zhang Ping's family has been taken into custody. They've been lurking here for quite some time, stealing military secrets and passing them on to the island nation. Luckily, we caught them in time, otherwise their plan to destroy the entire army would have succeeded."

"Fortunately they were caught, otherwise we would be in trouble."

Bai Youyou felt relieved after hearing this: "It's good that they've been caught. They deserve what they deserve. They couldn't live a good life, but they insisted on becoming spies. People like them shouldn't be allowed to try to harm our national interests."

Sheng Zeyan nodded in agreement:

"That's right, and through interrogating them, we uncovered several other hidden spies."

"That's good. This way you won't have to worry all the time."

Sheng Zeyan touched Bai Youyou's head and said, "It's a good thing you came this time, otherwise our army would be in trouble."

"If you say so, then you want to give me all the credit for catching the spy this time!

If you dare to make such a calculation, I dare not accept it! I didn't do anything, but I got such great credit for nothing. Who would accept it if I told others about it?

"Why don't you dare answer it? If I hadn't gone shopping with you, how could I have accidentally discovered that something was wrong with her? How could we have locked on the target so quickly?" Sheng Zeyan said seriously.

Bai Youyou was still a little embarrassed. "How can this be calculated like this? Even if I didn't come, you would have found out anyway. It's just a matter of time."

"But if you hadn't come, we wouldn't know how long it would have taken to discover it, and we can't afford the consequences."

"This, this, when you calculate it this way, I always feel uneasy. It feels like I'm stealing the credit for someone else's work."

Sheng Zeyan gently pinched her nose.

"Silly girl, you deserve this. By the way, the army is planning to commend us, and there will definitely be a lot of rewards."

When Bai Youyou heard there was a reward, her eyes widened. "There's a reward, what is it? Is it money?"

"I don't know about that."

"All right!"

Three days later, a commendation meeting was held.

Bai Youyou attended the meeting as Sheng Zeyan's family member. She sat nervously in the audience, listening to the leader read out the commendation order.

The soldiers sitting in the audience like Bai Youyou applauded enthusiastically and cast admiring glances at Sheng Zeyan on the stage.

At this moment, Bai Youyou's heart was filled with pride. She felt a close connection with this land and these lovely people.

After stepping down from the stage, Sheng Zeyan smiled and said to Bai Youyou, "Look, Youyou, this is our glorious moment.

In the future, we will work together to make greater contributions to protecting our country."

Bai Youyou nodded firmly, "Okay, you will protect our country from now on, and I will protect our own home."

"it is good."

Of course, these are all things for later.
