As soon as they got off the train, Jiang Qiao and the others were startled by the commotion in front of them.

Goodness, with all the banging and drumming, I initially thought it was some kind of event.

However, seeing Zhao Jian and various leaders standing in front of them, and people even giving them red flowers, they would truly be fools if they still didn't understand.

"Welcome back, hero! Let's give him a round of applause!"

This scene was so sudden that even Jian Ling and Zhou Yu, let alone Jiang Qiao, were a little unaccustomed to it. They had never experienced anything like this before, and even if they had, it had nothing to do with them, the lowly soldiers.

Jiang Qiao snapped out of her daze and naturally shook hands with the enthusiastic leaders.

"Comrade Jiang Qiao, congratulations on your meritorious service once again. You are truly remarkable and have brought honor to our county once more."

Jiang Qiao said politely, "Not at all, I've only made a small achievement, it's nothing. It's you comrades who have done a lot to maintain the peace and development of a county, that's truly not easy. I still have a lot to learn from you all. I hope you leaders will continue to take care of me in the future."

Zhao Jian held Jiang Qiao's hand and explained in a low voice, "Your good news has already been sent out. The commune and your village should have received it too. This is the first stop. Director Song told us when you arrived. Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence."

Jiang Qiao nodded knowingly, "I knew it. Take us home first. I brought you gifts, but there are so many people, I can't give them to you. I'll just take a look at them too."

Zhao Jian laughed heartily, "Don't worry about the car, it's all arranged."

After the excitement subsided, Jiang Qiao explained to the leaders why she was in a hurry to return, and everyone was understanding.

You tell me, a pregnant woman going out to capture the enemy, that's not something an ordinary person could do.

In particular, there were many rumors about Jiang Qiao before, and they didn't know what was going on at first. This time, the comrades above have explained it to them clearly. Comrade Jiang Qiao is a good comrade who endured humiliation and hardship. Even when she was pregnant, she insisted on fighting on the front line until she captured the enemy leader. Her meritorious service is something that can't be envied.

Jian Ling and Zhou Yu shook hands with the leaders with great excitement. Even though they were already sitting in the car, their excitement hadn't subsided.

"Don't worry, there's going to be a symposium in a few days. I heard they're going to invite people to give speeches and stuff. Aunt Jian, I'm leaving this to you. I really need to rest and recuperate properly right now. You'll have to take over this job."

Jian Ling readily agreed, "Sure, why not? I'll show them how you take down those enemies, and let them know how tough it is for you."

We've gotten this far, and it's not something we can just boast about. Old Zhou, you'd better prepare the speech for me. I'm not good at writing this, but you are."

Zhao Jian, who had come down with them, nodded in agreement when he heard Jian Ling's words. "Those people who don't know the truth should understand where their peaceful lives come from. Without you people who are charging ahead, this county might have been bombed to pieces long ago."

To be honest, it's truly remarkable that you've come this far and returned unscathed. I can't guarantee the same for me.

Zhou Yu sighed and said, "It wasn't easy. The peaceful and stable days we enjoy today were bought with the blood of countless martyrs. We must let future generations know and remember this history and its lessons so that we can talk about development and the future."

The enemy's desire to destroy us has never died. Even without the Cobra and the Lone Wolf, there are other wolves and snakes. We must keep them constantly vigilant, for one day the enemy might be lurking right beside us.

Zhao Jian gave a thumbs up and said, "Old Zhou, that's well said. You educated people really know how to speak."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "What culture? This is what I really think. Only after experiencing it can I know how difficult it is to live a peaceful life."

Look at Jiang Qiao, she's escaped death so many times, but the child just won't tell. We elders feel heartbroken watching her suffer."

Zhao Jian added, "Honestly, Jiang Qiao has had a tough time. It's good that she's gone out. Look at her, she's pregnant but hasn't gained any weight. Girl, let's go back and take good care of her. Oh dear, I hope your parents didn't see this, otherwise they would be so worried about her."

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "I guess they don't have time to worry about me right now. My dad and Ning Hao have gone up too."

“I heard from Director Song that your family has really had a tough time. You only see each other once a year, yet you're always at the forefront. You should definitely be recognized as a role model.”

Jiang Qiao chuckled twice. "Uncle Zhao, I really don't have the energy to give a speech right now. If you need anything, just ask Aunt Jian. If it's about medical treatment, you can come to me. I just want to stay at home quietly."

To be honest, when I was out there, all I could think about was capturing the enemy as soon as possible, and I didn't dare to relax even when I was tired.

The moment I set foot on this land, I felt like all my energy and spirit had vanished. All I wanted to do was have a good meal, then get a good night's sleep, and not think about anything else.

Zhao Jian could understand Jiang Qiao's feelings; that's exactly how they handled cases.

"Sigh, I'm exhausted. I need to go back and rest properly. We can talk about it later."

When Jiang Qiao arrived at his home, he received a warm welcome from the villagers. There were even people from the commune waiting at his doorstep to greet him and his family.

As for greeting guests, Jiang Qiao doesn't need to come; someone from her family has already come to help.

Gu Hanting was busy running around, and he was happy for his granddaughter's glory. Even though he felt sorry for her, he couldn't show it in this situation.

Presumably out of consideration for Jiang Qiao's health, everyone left after the visit, allowing the family to reunite.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Qiao, are you both alright?"

Qiao Jie held Jiang Qiao's hand, speechless for a long time, and the old man almost burst into tears.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're alive. From now on, we won't go out again."

Ma Liu sighed from the side, "You little rascal, you almost scared us to death. We didn't know what your condition was at first. Your grandfather said you should be fine. If something really happened, your parents would be very worried."

But we weren't sure. It wasn't until your grandfather gave us confirmation that we felt relieved. Are the children alright?

Speaking of this, Qiao Jie quickly took Jiang Qiao's pulse, and then the old man looked surprised, "Two?"

Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded, "There are two—"

"Oh dear, you silly girl, you have two kids and you're still causing trouble. You can't cause any more trouble this time, can you?"

Jiang Qiao quickly shook her head, "I'm not going to cause any more trouble. If I keep doing this, I might die. This time, I'll just stay home and keep you company, make medicine, and there's not much else to do."

The old man finally breathed a sigh of relief; he was afraid Jiang Qiao would say she wanted to go out again.
