Chapter 332: Ideological Awareness of Soldiers and Their Families
Gu Huai pushed open the door and walked into the room. Looking at Yu Hui who was sitting on the bed, he said, "Xiao Hui, the parents of the children who were rescued want to meet you and thank you in person."
Yu Hui raised her head, revealing half of her face, which was still swollen and purple, and said aggrievedly, "But how can I face people with this face?"
"I have a solution." Gu Hongmei untied the silk scarf around her neck.
"Sister-in-law, wrap the scarf around your head to hide the injured half of your face so others can't see it."
Yu Hui looked at Gu Huai, who nodded, "I think it's okay."
Yu Hui asked Hongmei to try it on her.
Gu Hongmei wrapped the scarf around Yu Hui's head, tied a knot around her chin, and adjusted the scarf to cover the injured half of her right face.
"How is it? Is it weird?"
Yu Hui pulled the silk scarf that covered half of her face and asked Gu Huai.
The latter smiled and shook his head, "It's not weird, it looks very good."
The red scarf makes her skin look white, and the scarf covering half of her face adds a touch of mysterious beauty to her.
Yu Hui glared at Gu Huai in annoyance, "I don't believe it, just try to coax me."
She looks like this now, both beautiful and weird.
Gu Huai was helpless, "If you don't believe me, ask Hongmei."
Gu Hongmei smiled and said, "It is indeed beautiful."
Yu Hui felt that Hongmei was also comforting her, so she straightened her hair and then went out with Gu Huai.
She grabbed Gu Huai's sleeve, walked close to him, and used his shoulder to shield her face.
"It's out." Someone shouted.
Everyone inside and outside the courtyard looked at the two of them, and Yu Hui lowered her head a little.
The reporter immediately picked up the camera and took pictures of the two. Feeling the camera flash, Yu Hui subconsciously covered her right cheek with her hand.
"What's wrong with Xiaohui's face? Why is she still covering it with a scarf?" asked an aunt from the same village.
Gu Huai: "My face is injured, I can't stand the wind."
If the villagers knew that Xiaohui covered her face because she was shy, who knows what they would say.
"You can't get blown by the wind, so you have to cover yourself up."
Director Peng personally handed the banner to Gu Huai and Yu Hui.
"Thank you for your contribution to solving the Qing County's major human trafficking case and the people of Qing County. The arrest of the human trafficking gang not only saved the five children who were abducted this time, but also saved hundreds of children and families in Qing County in the future." After saying this, Director Peng and the four public security comrades saluted Gu Huai and Yu Hui.
Gu Huai also returned a military salute, and Yu Hui bowed in return.
"This is the reward from the Qing County Police Station. It's not much, but I hope you can accept it."
"Thank you." Gu Huai took it and handed it to Yu Hui.
"And us." The parents of the four children lifted the pig up again.
"Ahhh~ Ahhh~"
The big fat pig, who had just rested for a while, let out a few dissatisfied cries.
The grandfather of one of the children stood in front as a representative and said, "Comrade Gu Huai, Comrade Yu Hui, thank you for catching the kidnapper and saving our child."
"Here we have the custom of giving a pig to a lifesaver, one for each person. We can't afford to buy one, so we each chipped in one. I hope you two benefactors will accept it."
After he finished speaking, the old man bent down and bowed. The people who were carrying the pig, as well as their relatives and friends who were traveling with them, also bowed.
"Don't be like this, old man." Gu Huai quickly reached out and helped the old man.
The reporter took a few steps back and captured this precious scene.
"My husband and I have received your gratitude, but we cannot accept this pig. You'd better carry it back." Gu Huai said to the child's parents.
"No, you must accept this pig."
"That's right, we've already carried it here, how can we carry it back?"
"If you don't accept it, we will be embarrassed to go back."
The children's parents talked at once.
"Everyone, everyone," Gu Pingshan said. "My Gu Huai is a soldier. A soldier's duty is to defend the country and serve the people. Helping you rescue your child is what he should do as a soldier, and it is also serving the people."
"I serve the people, so why should I ask for your reward?"
"But..." a child's father pointed at Yu Hui and said, "But Comrade Yu Hui wasn't a soldier. She chased the kidnapper all the way into the alleys and fought with him. That's how she bought time, allowing Comrade Gu Huai to catch him."
"Comrade Yu Hui's contribution is the greatest. Comrade Gu Huai is a soldier and cannot accept it, but Comrade Yu Hui can at least accept it, right?"
As soon as the idea came to light, others followed suit and said, "That's right, Comrade Yu Hui can accept it. Can we give this pig to Comrade Yu Hui?"
Seeing that everyone was coming towards her, Yu Hui said, "They say husband and wife are one. I am a military family member and I must have the same awareness as my husband. Of course, I can't accept him."
The more the couple refused to accept the children, the more the parents of these children thought they were good people and insisted that they accept them.
Finally, the man put the pig on the ground and ran away.
The man ran very fast. Gu Pingshan, Gu Jiang, Gu He and Gu Hai tried to chase him, but they couldn't catch up.
Gu Huai and Yu Hui had no choice but to accept the big fat pig, but they also publicly stated that they would ask their family to kill the pig and send the meat to the county orphanage to provide a snack for the children.
Is this the awareness of regimental-level cadres and their families?
This is so great and touching. The reporter almost cried while writing down the two people's words in his notebook.
Director Peng and other public security comrades were also very moved, and even a little ashamed. They were all serving the people, but their awareness was still a long way from that of Comrade Gu Huai and his wife.
Some people in the village thought that Gu Huai and his wife were a little stupid. Such a big pig could be made into bacon to eat for a year.
Instead of keeping them for themselves, they kill them and send them to orphanages. The children in the orphanages are raised by the state and eat a ration of meat and rice.
The people in their village rely on the few pigs raised in the village all year round, but they can only eat meat a few times.
Instead of giving the pork to outsiders, it would be better to kill it and distribute it to the villagers.
Of course, these people only thought so in their hearts and were too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Comrade Yu Hui, can I interview you for a few minutes?" The reporter walked up to Yu Hui and asked excitedly.
Yu Hui's eyes twitched. "You ask."
"Excuse me, how did you feel when you found out your child was taken away by kidnappers?"
Yu Hui was silent for three seconds. "Self-blame, regret, fear."
"Why do you blame yourself and feel regretful?" the reporter asked as he wrote.
Yu Hui said: "Because I didn't keep an eye on the child, the child was taken away, so I blame myself. I regret that I didn't think more carefully and didn't have a sense of crisis. I let the child wait for me outside the toilet."
"Although I have received thanks from others and commendations from the police station, I am a negative example. I hope that you, reporter, can report this so that more parents can see it and be more cautious when taking their children out, and not give kidnappers any opportunity to take advantage of them," Yu Hui said sincerely.
As society opens up, human trafficking criminals will become more and more rampant, and she hopes she can do something.
"As parents, we should also teach our children more about abduction prevention. They should not eat food from strangers, should not go with strangers, should be wary of strangers, and should contact the police if they encounter difficulties."
The reporter wrote down Yu Hui's words furiously, feeling that her ideological awareness had really reached a level that he could not reach.
She was obviously a commended person, but she was willing to make herself a negative example to sound the alarm for other parents, draw their attention, and let children learn about abduction prevention.
Director Peng was deep in thought, planning to hold a meeting on combating and preventing human trafficking after returning to the station, and to work with the street office to carry out anti-trafficking publicity.
