Then everyone clapped excitedly, and thunderous applause filled the entire brigade headquarters. Building a primary school in Fengshou Brigade would make it easier for the children of Fengshou Brigade to go to school, and they wouldn't have to travel such a long time to and from the commune primary school every day.

Lin Yiwan clapped excitedly, looking proud, but she also felt strange. Why did these things seem so much like the plot of the historical novels she had read in her previous life?

But in the historical novels she had read, there wasn't a female protagonist named Wen Xi!

Secretary Li took a tan-colored kraft paper bag from his secretary and handed it to Wen Xi. "Comrade Wen, these are the certificates, prizes, and bonuses awarded to you by the provincial capital, the city, and the commune."

Wen Xi accepted the sturdy brown paper bag and said respectfully, "Thank you, Secretary Li, thank you, leaders. I just did what I was supposed to do!"

Seeing Wen Xi's humble demeanor, Secretary Li was in a good mood. "Well done, Comrade Wen. I hope you can remain humble and continue to work hard in the future."

Wen Xi nodded firmly, feeling her blood boiling. "If I encounter something like this again in the future, I will never stand idly by. I will continue to contribute my own strength to build a better motherland."

At that moment, Wenxi felt a sense of mission welling up within her. She wanted to contribute to the country and do something meaningful.

"Comrade Wen, this is an award from our Public Security Bureau." Yan Zheng walked over and handed Wen Xi a carefully decorated basket. There were too many people present, so Yan Zheng didn't say much, but spoke in a businesslike tone.

"Thank you, Director Yan." Wen Xi took the basket from Yan Zheng's hand. The basket was covered with a cloth, so Wen Xi didn't know what was inside.

Now that Yan Zheng has become the bureau chief, he will definitely try to get her more rewards based on her contributions!

"Comrade Wen, thank you for saving Comrade Jin. If it weren't for you, Comrade Jin would have died quietly there without anyone knowing. So thank you so much. This is the army's commendation and reward for you." Commander Liu also handed Wen Xi a thick brown paper bag, his eyes full of admiration for Wen Xi.

It's just an elder's praise for a younger person.

"Thank you, Commander Liu." Wen Xi had put in a lot of effort to save Jin Changfeng, so she could accept this reward without any guilt. After all, Jin Changfeng was indeed saved single-handedly, unlike the human traffickers, for whom she only caught one; the rest were all caught by the police.

Everyone stared with envy as they watched Wenxi receive the generous rewards, wishing they were Wenxi so that these things could be theirs.

"Next, let's invite Comrade Wen to say a few words." Secretary Li led the applause, followed by another round of applause.

After the thunderous applause subsided, Wen Xi coughed, cleared her throat, and said apologetically, "Hello to all the members of the Harvest Brigade. Many of you probably don't know me yet, so let me reintroduce myself. I am Wen Xi, an educated youth who was sent to the countryside at the end of the year."

"Also, our team is about to build a primary school. I hope everyone can send their children to school, whether they are boys or girls. Let them learn to read and write, so that when they succeed in the future, the whole family can benefit, right? Moreover, with the children in school, everyone can focus on working and earning work points without worrying about their children being abducted by traffickers or having accidents while hiking or swimming, right? Every year, there are accidents involving children, and no one wants such a tragedy to happen to their own family, right? So, sending your children to school only has benefits and no drawbacks..."

Finally, Secretary Li summarized today's commendation meeting and instructed Captain Qian that once the school is completed, everyone should be encouraged to send their children to the school to study, leaving no child behind, so that everyone can study hard and contribute to the construction of the motherland in the future.

Captain Qian's face was almost frozen with a smile. Wen Xi really made him proud. He had been constantly scolded and berated, but now he could finally hold his head high. Just thinking about the faces of those captains who had pointed fingers at him when they heard the news made Captain Qian feel relieved.

Should!

Why are they pointing fingers at him, as if they're managing the production team so well? Aren't they just trying to smooth things over and suppress the issue?

It's not a skill to try to smooth things over; the real skill is to face problems head-on and solve them!

After the commendation meeting ended, Captain Qian announced the dismissal, telling everyone to go home to cook and eat, and then go back to work in the afternoon. Afterwards, Captain Qian took all the leaders home.

Everyone was very curious about Wenxi's reward. As soon as Captain Qian left, everyone swarmed around Wenxi. When they saw Director Yan walking over, they all scurried away like turtles hiding in the sand.

Yan Zheng walked over and took the basket from Wen Xi's hands. "Comrade Wen, I need to talk to you. Let's talk as we walk!"

Wenxi understood that Yan Zheng was trying to get her out of a tight spot, so she nodded in agreement. With so many rewards today, she suddenly felt like a tempting piece of meat, and Wenxi was also a little scared.

She didn't want her hard-won peace of life to be disrupted again.

Yan Zheng turned his head and looked around. Everyone was afraid to approach Wen Xi and dispersed. Yan Zheng lowered his head and whispered to Wen Xi, "Several parents of the children want to see you and thank you in person. I was afraid they would bother you and betray you, so I didn't reveal your information or let them come to you on their own. When you come to my house, I will take you to meet some of the couples."

Wen Xi was somewhat embarrassed. "Brother Yan, I didn't do anything. You're the ones who caught the human traffickers and dismantled the human trafficking gang. The real credit goes to you. If anyone should be seen, it should be you, not me. There's no need for me to meet with them. Otherwise, it will seem like I'm taking advantage of their kindness."

“There are some people you can still meet; it would be good for you,” Yan Zheng suggested.

Wen Xi thought for a moment and then nodded, "Then I'll trouble Brother Yan to help me screen them carefully. I'll go see Brother Yan when I have time, and I'll need Brother Yan to help me make the arrangements then."

If you want to achieve great things, you need connections, and getting to know more capable people is often a good thing.

Yan Zheng looked into Wen Xi's bright eyes and said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite? We're family."

As I passed by next door, I saw a weak Jin Changfeng standing by the door. "Little sister, I know what happened to you. I want to congratulate you, but I also want to remind you that in the future, before doing anything, you must remember to put your own safety first, understand?"
