The young officer at the police station was quite embarrassed when he saw Fang Yan carrying so many things. He kept saying to Fang Yan, "Sister-in-law, you're too kind. I didn't help at all. How can I accept this?"
“Your brother Zhang said you’re a big contributor,” Fang Yan stuffed the things into his arms, “It’s just some braised meat and stuff that I made myself. You can take it home or share it with your colleagues.”
Fang Yan didn't prepare any extra items to distribute to other staff members, so she felt embarrassed to casually carry her things to the office lobby to find him.
Instead, they had Little Fish bring the little comrade out and give him the braised meat at the door.
The young man is very young, only in his early twenties, and has an introverted personality.
Although he felt unworthy of the gift.
However, with his limited "fighting ability," he was no match for Fang Yan.
After some back and forth, the young man obediently hugged the braised meat, not daring to refuse anymore. "Sister-in-law, well... thank you. Brother Zhang isn't home, so if you need any extra strength in the future, you can come to me."
The young man is quite clever.
"Okay, okay," Fang Yan said with a smile. "If I need any help, I won't hesitate to ask."
"Yes, you're welcome." The young man nodded in agreement.
Team Leader Liu's teammates arrived just in time, as if they had arrived at the perfect moment.
Fang Yan had just finished speaking with the young comrade.
There was a car parked in front of the police station, and a person in uniform got out. "Sister-in-law, can we go now?"
The person who came to pick up Fang Yan happened to be one of the team members who had come to rescue her that day, and Fang Yan knew him.
"It's ready, it'll be here soon."
After exchanging a few words with the young officers at the police station, Fang Yan took Xiao Yuzai and Qi Bei and got into the car.
The young man in the column was quick-witted; he immediately came over to help and picked up the large bag she had placed at her feet.
Team Leader Liu mobilized the most people at the time, and Fang Yan was afraid that if she didn't give enough, there wouldn't be enough to go around, so she prepared the most things for Team Leader Liu. All the miscellaneous items added up to about 20 kilograms.
"Sister-in-law, serving the people is our duty. You and Brother Zhang are too kind."
Unlike the young officers at the police station, the young man in the corps was a very talkative person. Once he got on the bus, he probably didn't want the atmosphere to be too quiet and make Fang Yan feel awkward.
He would then take the initiative to chat with Fang Yan and occasionally play with the child or Qibei.
The journey from the central area to the column was quite long.
With such a talkative young man by my side, the journey was anything but boring.
Meanwhile, at the police station, the young officer, carrying the bag Fang Yan had given him, had just returned to his office when his colleagues started nagging him to open it.
They were all stunned by the demolition.
"So much meat!"
What surprised them even more was that whether it was braised beef, pork, beef jerky, or pork jerky, they were all incredibly delicious, almost making them cry with delight!
"No, I have to ask Xiao Fang where she bought this!"
The young man immediately said, "Sister-in-law Fang said she made it herself."
"Oh! Right, I remember Xiao Fang had a stall selling braised food outside the market over there?"
Someone pointed in the direction of the market and asked.
"Yes, that's where she sets up her stall. I heard she usually sells braised pig's head and braised pig intestines. If someone wants to treat someone to something, they can ask her to braise some good pork for them, but they'll have to pay for the meat coupons themselves."
"That's good, that's a good approach."
"Oh my! This smells so good! I have to go find Xiao Fang tomorrow and buy some braised food to try!"
"Let's go together."
"I heard that people usually start lining up at Xiao Fang's stall even before she arrives. If you want to buy something, you have to go early, otherwise you won't be able to buy anything if you go too late."
"Okay, the rest of us, let's leave early tomorrow."
Excellent craftsmanship is a walking advertisement.
Without saying a word, just by eating, Fang Yan attracted many more customers to her braised food stall.
At the police station, everyone was eating with great joy and praise. Meanwhile, in the suburbs, Fang Yan and her son had already arrived at the column.
When they arrived, Captain Liu was talking to an old man dressed like a barefoot doctor.
"Wait a moment."
Team Leader Liu took a moment to speak to Fang Yan.
Then he turned his head back and continued talking to the old man.
Their conversation didn't last long; after about five or six minutes, the old man left.
After the old man left, Captain Liu walked over to Fang Yan and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Would the child like something to eat?"
Seeing the little fish nestled obediently beside Fang Yan, he asked again.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu, I'm full, I don't need anything else."
The little fish patted its round little belly and said.
The lunch was plentiful and delicious. Not only the old men and Wei Jiahong, but even Xiaoyuzai ate until their bellies were full and still wanted more.
In the end, Fang Yan was afraid he would overeat, so she refused to add any more rice or dishes to his bowl, and only then did the little guy stop.
"Good! He's a very polite child."
Team Leader Liu praised him.
Then he turned to Fang Yan and joked, "We should thank you for this. You came all this way to send us a thank-you gift, shouldn't we send you one in return?"
Fang Yan smiled and said, "This is different. The reason you have such a great harvest is because you have done good deeds and received good fortune. As for my matter, if it weren't for you and Leader Wei at the time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"That kid Ji Zhou is just being polite. If he really wants to thank me, he should just remember to consider our column first in the future. Why make you take care of the child and go through all this trouble?"
Team Leader Liu harshly criticized Zhang Jizhou.
He himself is often away from home, spending most of his time at the military base. Naturally, military wives are also very busy, especially those with elderly parents and young children. They are almost as busy as men.
Team Leader Liu genuinely disagreed with Zhang Jizhou's decision to have Fang Yan spend several days preparing thank-you gifts for them.
Fang Yan could tell that Captain Liu wasn't just being polite, so she sincerely replied, "It's not much trouble at all. I cook, so I'm familiar with kitchen work; it's just something I can do along the way."
"Ji Zhou thought for a long time but didn't know what to send you to express his feelings. Then he thought of making some meat for you. These are braised beef and pork knuckles, and here are beef jerky and pork jerky. I don't know if you like spicy or non-spicy food, so I made it according to the local people's taste."
As husband and wife, Fang Yan still had to protect Zhang Jizhou in front of outsiders.
As she spoke, she opened the bag she had brought...
