Chapter 56 Bonus
Shanzi had already handed over the paper with Su Tong's address. Song Shaoyang took it and looked at it, then frowned and said:
"Quanzi, this Miss Su is actually from Qingfeng Town. Weren't you looking after the store for your second uncle in Qingfeng Town a while ago?"
"From Qingfeng Town?"
Quan Zi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slapped his head, "Third brother, I remember now! She is the girl who changed your recipe!"
——————
Su Tong carried a "huge sum of money" with him, bought only some small items on the street, and then got on the bus back to Qingfeng Town.
After arriving in Qingfeng Town, Su Tong went to the town police station first.
The address she left for Manager Lin was the Qingfeng Town Police Station.
Firstly, he didn’t want the news that he was selling mulberry fungus to spread to the village.
Secondly, since the fugitive case, comrades from the police station have gone to the countryside more often, and every time they do so they will specifically visit the cowshed. They are quite familiar with Su Tong, so it is convenient for them to pass on messages to her.
Although the Coriolus versicolor has been sold now, she still wants to say hello to Director Jiang. She left her address but was embarrassed to ask for it back. This is to avoid embarrassment in case Manager Lin needs to find her for something in the future.
Jiang Pinglu happened to be at the police station, and was extremely happy to see Su Tong, "Tongya! You came just in time! I was just about to look for you, and you came by yourself!"
After that, he pulled her into his office and took out an envelope mysteriously, "Look at what's in this?"
Su Tong didn't understand what was going on. The envelope was not sealed. When he opened it, he found that there was a remittance slip inside.
A remittance slip for two hundred yuan.
In this era, this is a considerable amount of money.
The remittance slip was written with "To Wu Tong", with no signature, only the word "bonus" written in the notes section below.
"Bonus? For me?"
Su Tong was a little surprised. Wasn't the 50 yuan bonus already given in advance? This matter was handled by Director Jiang.
"Yeah! It's for you!"
Jiang Pinglu lowered his voice and said:
"This was handed to me personally by Lao Zhang from the county bureau. He said it was remitted from Beijing. We guess it's a reward from the organization. Just keep it! Lao Zhang said this matter must be kept secret!"
Beijing city?
Su Tong was stunned. The only person she could think of was Qin Yi.
But Qin Yi promised her that he would keep the arrest of Ma Liu a secret, and later promised her not to let anyone else know about the surgery...
She believed that Qin Yi could do what he promised, so where did this reward come from?
"Actually, Lao Zhang and I are also a little puzzled, because the case that Ma Liu is involved in has not been solved yet. You should not be commended for saving the child. Even if you are commended, it is too early. We applied for a bonus for you in the county because there were many people at the scene, and we have to explain it. We can't publicize the fact that you were brave and righteous, and nothing else can be publicized, for fear of affecting the progress of the real case...
But Lao Zhang said, since it's a bonus, you should take it, it's always a good thing, right?"
Before Su Tong asked, Jiang Pinglu had already answered his own questions. Su Tong was silent for a moment before asking:
"Director Jiang, what crime did Ma Liu commit?"
Jiang Pinglu picked up the large enamelware pot and took a big sip of tea. He rolled his eyes at her and said:
"That's a big case! How can we know the inside story? We just follow the orders from our superiors. If they say to ambush, we set an ambush. If they say to arrest people, we arrest people. How can we ask other questions? If Ma Liu hadn't just happened to escape to this area, I might never have had the chance to participate in such a big case in my life!"
Su Tong couldn't help laughing when he saw Jiang Pinglu's serious expression.
Jiang Pinglu stomped the large teapot on the table and said in a low voice:
"Hey - don't disbelieve me! You still remember Comrade Qin from last time! Let me tell you, he is not an ordinary police officer, he is an elite sent by the army, specially borrowed to solve this case! Think about it! If it was just an ordinary arrest of a human trafficker, would the higher-ups take it so seriously?"
Su Tong was not too surprised. It was obvious that Qin Yi, Lin Li and their group had the style of a military officer, which was very different from that of ordinary police officers. People who were familiar with the military could easily distinguish them.
But it was impossible for Director Jiang to know more about the case... She thought about the date Ma Liu mentioned, and it was obvious that the case would not be solved in a short time.
Su Tong did not continue on this topic. She and Director Jiang were just small people and they should just take care of their own lives.
She stared at the remittance slip for a while, then silently put it in her arms.
Then she told Director Jiang everything about how she collected herbs in the mountains and sold them. Of course, to avoid trouble, she did not tell him the name of the poplar and mulberry fungus or the price at which they were sold. She then asked Director Jiang that if anyone looked for "Su Tong" later, they could just pass the message to her.
Director Jiang was very happy after hearing this, and agreed with a pat on his chest. He also praised her for her awareness of prevention and her good self-protection work.
In Director Jiang's mind, no matter how much or how little she earns, at least she has a good source of income. He hopes that this girl can live a better life, preferably financially independent, and completely get rid of the shackles of "arranged marriage". Then their work burden can be reduced a lot!
After leaving the police station, Su Tong went to the supply and marketing cooperative to purchase some daily necessities such as rice, flour, oil and seasonings.
I saw a triangular net for fishing in the grocery store, and thinking of the pond near the village, I bought a net...
Now there are many people eating, so we added some more bowls and plates, and finally bought a lot of meat...
Although I bought a lot of things, it didn't attract much attention as it was close to the New Year.
As a result, the backpack was full to the brim, and each hand had to carry a sack, which made it very inconvenient to walk back.
After checking her watch, she followed her memory and waited at the fork in the road leading back to the village. Sure enough, she saw Zhou Bo's mule cart from the neighboring village, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Uncle Zhou was from Dayan Village next door. The mule cart to Dayan Village had to pass through the fork in the road leading to Yunshan Village. It was less than two miles if you got off at the fork in the road and walked back, which saved a lot of trouble.
There were already quite a few people on the mule cart, and Su Tong's two sacks took up a lot of space, so the remaining space was just enough for one more person.
The people on the bus were somewhat dissatisfied. Su Tong took out a dime from his pocket and handed it to the old man driving the bus.
"Uncle Zhou, I have a little extra stuff, so let me pay for two people's ride." The person next to him kept silent.
Su Tong took the backpack off and held it in his hand. Just as he was about to get on the bus, he heard a voice behind him shouting:
"Hey - mule cart, wait a minute -"
