Hearing this, Cheng Jiawen was stunned. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Chief Lu, can that bicycle be exchanged for a watch?"
"A watch?" Commander Lu was a little surprised when he heard this, but he still agreed. "Okay, let's change it to a watch."
Seeing that he agreed, Cheng Jiawen quickly added, "A ladies' watch for my wife. My wife needs a watch."
He had noticed long ago that Xu Qianjiao didn't know how to look at the sky, so she often didn't know the time.
So he wanted to buy her a watch. He had originally planned to buy it for her after he got his salary this month, but now that he had received a bonus, it would be even better as he didn't have to spend any money.
As for the bicycle, it can still be ridden, that's fine as long as it can be ridden. He is not picky. If it breaks down, he will go to the scrap yard to see if he can replace the parts.
After hearing what Cheng Jiawen said, everyone was a little speechless. They didn't expect that he loved his wife so much that he would rather ride a broken old bicycle himself than buy a watch for his wife.
Commander Lu smiled slightly. "Okay, then a ladies' watch." He looked at Commander Lin standing next to him and said, "Tell someone to buy a ladies' watch."
Captain Lin nodded, "Yes."
Chief Lu looked at his watch. It was getting late. Since the explosives had been found, he could leave the rest of the work to them. He would report everything in detail, and those who made contributions would be rewarded.
He is not so despicable. He would not take all the credit. Moreover, with his current position, there is no need for him to do such things.
The achievements he made in his youth have long since enabled him to enjoy a comfortable old age and benefit his descendants.
"Alright, Captain Liu, you've all worked hard. Leave the rest to us. Don't worry, I'll report all your contributions one by one and won't falsify them. Don't worry."
Officer Liu immediately shook his head. "No, no, we didn't think so. We certainly know what kind of person you are, Chief Lu. We'll leave the rest to you. We'll be heading back first."
"Yeah." Chief Lu nodded.
Officer Liu looked at everyone and said loudly, "Brothers, you've worked hard these past few days. Everyone, go back and rest early. Anyone who is on duty tonight can take a day off tomorrow. You should take good care of yourself and go back to work the day after tomorrow."
Everyone was very happy when they heard that there was a holiday, especially Cheng Jiawen. He stretched and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, I can finally take a break."
He hurried home, feeling a strong sense of longing in his heart. He hadn't spoken to Xu Qianjiao for a long time. In the past few days, he worked overtime every day, leaving home early and returning late, and had no chance to talk to Xu Qianjiao. He even asked Xu's father to take her to work in the morning.
He quietly walked into the house, touched his hungry stomach, and skillfully went to the kitchen to lift the lid. Sure enough, Xu's mother had made another midnight snack for him. He touched the slightly cold sweet potato and eggs in the pot, lit a fire, and prepared to heat them up before eating.
When he walked into the yard and saw the dim candlelight still on in the room, Cheng Jiawen felt warm in his heart. He hurried back to the room and saw Xu Qianjiao still sitting on the bed knitting a sweater.
When Xu Qianjiao saw him come in, she immediately put down the wool in her hand and smiled, "You're back."
Cheng Jiawen took off his coat, walked over to hug her, and whispered in her ear, "Well, I'm back."
Xu Qianjiao buried her head in the crook of his neck and said in a muffled voice, "You're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time. I haven't seen you in the past few days."
Hearing this, Cheng Jiawen felt a little distressed, but he couldn't help but feel happy, "Don't worry, the case is done, and I won't be busy anymore."
"Really? That's great." Xu Qianjiao hugged him tightly, wrapped her arms around his waist, and leaned on him coquettishly. "You don't know how worried I was about you these past two days. I couldn't see you and thought you didn't come back."
"Silly girl, I come back every day, but you are already asleep when I come back, and you are still asleep when I leave in the morning. I made you worry, it's my fault." Cheng Jiawen rubbed her head and said gently.
In this quiet moment, the two seemed to forget everything around them, their eyes focused only on each other. They hugged tightly, feeling each other's warmth and familiar scent. Every breath was filled with deep attachment and dependence.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the whole world belonged to only the two of them.
"Coo coo~" Suddenly, Xu Qianjiao sang a song of the empty city plan by herself.
"Pfft." Cheng Jiawen couldn't help laughing and reached out to rub her head. "Wait, I'll get you something to eat."
Cheng Jiawen walked quickly to the kitchen. Xu Qianjiao touched her stomach regretfully, feeling puzzled as to what was wrong with her these days. She had eaten so much at night, yet she was still hungry. It was really strange.
