Chapter 331: Home Visit for Reward and Thanks
"Comrade Public Security, what are you doing at Gu Huai's house?" the villagers asked curiously.
Director Peng smiled and said, "Comrades Gu Huai and Yu Hui apprehended a member of a kidnapping gang that had been operating in our county recently. They helped us solve the case, apprehend the criminal gang, and rescue five abducted children."
"We are here today to present our police station with a commendation banner and bonus."
He pointed to the people behind him carrying the live pig and said, "These are the parents of four children. They pooled their money and meat coupons to buy a live pig at the meat processing plant to thank Comrades Gu Huai and Yu Hui."
Five children were rescued, but only four came to express their gratitude. One of them, after picking up the child at the police station, ignored what other parents said and did as soon as they picked up the child to thank the benefactor together.
There are people in this world who are affectionate, loyal, and grateful, and there are also people who are heartless, unrighteous, and ungrateful.
The people who came were the children's fathers and relatives. The children had been hungry for too long in the kidnappers' den and were also frightened, so they were now hospitalized for observation.
When the police were taking Gu Huai's statement in the hospital, they heard Gu Huai say that they would return to the provincial capital before the 10th, so they quickly applied for the banner and bonus.
The child's parents knew that the police station would come today to present a commendation banner and bonus, so they came together today.
Also traveling with us were reporters from the county newspaper. With such a major event and such proof, their newspaper would definitely record it.
The villagers were all shocked. They heard that Gu Huai had taken the children into the city the day before yesterday, and for some reason, he only came back yesterday morning.
Unexpectedly, their trip to the city would lead to such a big event.
"Such a big fat pig, was it all given to the Gu family?"
The villagers were so envious that their mouths were watering.
"Comrade Public Security, how much is the bonus?"
Director Peng said, "Not much, two hundred yuan."
The villagers gasped after hearing this. Two hundred yuan is not much.
They earn less than two hundred yuan a year.
"Comrade Public Security, please follow me. I will take you to Gu Huai's house." The villagers enthusiastically led the way.
While leading the way, he also introduced the situation to the public security comrades.
"I watched Gu Huai grow up. He was smart and a warm-hearted kid. He was also very successful. He joined the army at the age of sixteen and is now a regimental commander."
When the police officer at the police station was taking the statement, he asked about Gu Huai's occupation. He knew that he was a soldier, but he didn't know that he was also a regimental commander.
A regimental-level cadre, this rank is much higher than the director of their police station.
The reporter wrote it down quickly in his notebook. The comrade who helped the police crack a major human trafficking case, saved five children, and saved five families turned out to be the regiment commander in the army. This is really worth reporting.
"Yu Hui was also raised by us. She was a pitiful child since she was little. She had no parents and no relatives to take care of her. She grew up in our village eating at other people's homes."
"This girl is kind, down-to-earth, and hardworking. She's a rare good girl. Only by marrying Gu Huai can she live a good life."
The reporter wrote furiously, another female comrade who helped solve the case had such a miserable life story that she must also be included in the report.
Along the way, the reporter also asked the villagers about some of Comrade Gu Huai and Comrade Yu Hui's childhood stories.
When the Gu family heard the sound, they also came out and saw a group of people coming towards them from a distance.
The children were curious and ran over to watch the fun.
"Gu Bin, quickly call your parents out! The police are here to present them with a banner."
"And a pig, a big live pig, all for your parents."
When Gu Bin and the others heard this, they hurried back.
The Gu family members standing at the gate of the courtyard had heard it and called Gu Huai out, but Yu Hui did not go out.
The look on her face now made her not want to see anyone.
"Village Chief, your Gu Huai and Yu Hui helped the police solve the kidnapping case. The police and the children's parents have come to thank them."
The Gu family looked at each other in bewilderment. Xixi was kidnapped, and Xiaohui and Ahuai rescued Xixi and even helped the police solve the case?
This is a great thing.
"Comrade Gu Huai." Director Peng smiled and extended his hand to Gu Huai.
"Hello." Gu Huai extended his hand and shook it back.
Director Peng held Gu Huai's hand with both hands and shook it hard twice.
The accompanying reporters also immediately took precious photos.
"Comrade Gu Huai, you and your wife, Comrade Yu Hui, have been of great help to our police station."
"If you hadn't caught a member of the kidnapping gang and allowed us to interrogate him and reveal the kidnapping den, we don't know when this case would be solved. We also don't know when the kidnapped children would be rescued."
Gu Huai said, "You're being too kind. We didn't do anything. We just wanted to save our child. Of course, we're also very happy to help the police solve the case and rescue the abducted child."
After taking the photos, the reporter picked up the pen and notebook and started writing quickly. He is worthy of being the team leader. He did a good thing and did not ask for work.
This spirit is worth promoting.
"Who is Comrade Yu Hui? Can we come out together and take a photo?" the reporter asked the Gu family.
He wanted to take a group photo with Comrade Gu Huai, Comrade Yu Hui, the comrades from the police station who were holding the banners, and the parents of the children who expressed their gratitude.
Gu Nan raised his head and said, "My mother was injured while fighting with the kidnappers to save my brother. She is resting in the room."
My mother loves beauty, so she probably doesn’t want to meet so many people and be photographed.
"Is it serious?" the reporter asked. "Can I go into the room and take a picture of Comrade Yu Hui lying injured in bed?"
A mother who loves her child bravely fought with the kidnapper and was injured in order to save her child. What a great maternal love!
Such photos are sure to cause a great response.
Gu Huai frowned, "Maybe not. My wife might not be willing to take pictures."
She would be bothered when her family members saw her current state. Except for eating, she would lie in her room and not come out.
What’s more, it was seen by outsiders, who took photos and published them in newspapers.
"Okay." The reporter felt very sorry.
Yu Hui heard from Gu Qiuye that the police station and the parents of the abducted child came to thank her and Gu Huai, carrying a banner and a fat pig. There were so many people outside now that she was afraid they would ask her to leave on their own.
She didn't want to see anyone with this pig-headed face now. Although the swelling had subsided a lot, it was still very swollen and more blue and purple.
The Gu family welcomed the comrades from the police station and the parents of the children carrying pigs into the yard. They were busy moving stools and pouring water.
"Comrade Gu, is your wife able to get out of bed?" Director Peng looked at Gu Huai and asked, "You and your wife caught the kidnapper. This banner and the prize money should be accepted by you and your wife together."
The children's parents also said: "We have to meet these two great benefactors and thank them in person."
