Chapter 218 I Want It Too
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Leader Li was not angry at all, but rather pleased. "The lack of movement is the biggest anomaly. Okay, we've hired professionals, and we'll leave the search to them."
Bai Jing and Team Lin followed Leader Li to the old courtyard.
Only when she stepped into the old courtyard did she understand what Leader Li meant by the professionals.
I saw those soldiers each holding a machine and searching the ground, a bit like the metal detectors seen on TV. It was only the early 1970s, and the country already had such powerful tools?
Is it because she didn’t learn history well, or has the country developed into something she doesn’t recognize?
Bai Jing naturally couldn't understand these things. It was impossible for a country to show all its means to the public. After all, some things could be said to be the country's foundation, used to defend against enemies.
It would be so presumptuous to let the enemy know that we are on guard.
This time they really dug deep into the ground.
It was almost three o'clock when we finally made a discovery.
Because they found a vent, which was due to their carefulness, otherwise who would have thought that the pipes next to the toilet would be ventilation pipes in the tunnel more than ten meters underground.
Bai Jing was also confused, because she had seen these pipes before, but she didn't take them seriously and thought they were just some underground pipes in this yard.
Her advanced cognition caused her to stumble here.
"Xiao Jin, why didn't you remind me?" Bai Jing was a little discouraged. If she hadn't taken it for granted, she would have discovered the existence of these people long ago.
[Host, I'm the system. You didn't ask me, so how could I know? All information requires you to spend money to purchase it. I can't use your money privately.] Xiao Jin is also innocent, okay?
It's not the kind of system that takes other people's things at will.
Bai Jing has turned off the microphone.
This time, a poison gas bomb was found, and the people below were the guards. They just waited for the ghost to send a message and then detonated it. It must be said that these ghosts were really cruel.
They don't care about so many innocent people.
After Bai Jing found out, she felt like burying a bomb under the cherry tree, and the more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
After finishing their own work, Bai Jing and others explored within their own area again. This boring and hard work lasted for several months.
If the regional inspection fails once, try again a second time and a third time.
The matter was not resolved until all the things that the ghosts had done to harm the people were found.
Bai Jing became famous again because of her sharpness.
There is nothing we can do about it. Gold shines wherever it is.
Therefore, her team also received praise from the leaders above.
Bai Jing's rank is getting higher and higher as she cheats and kills monsters along the way. At her current age, she can be said to have reached a level that others will never achieve in their lifetime.
During the riot in City B, she achieved excellent results, and half a year passed in a flash.
She also completed the task assigned by her superiors and began to return to her original unit with Captain Lin and others.
Naturally, a talent like her is targeted by many people. Unfortunately, Bai Jing has no intention of climbing up the social ladder. Her current achievements are enough to match her man's. After the reform, she will be able to make money with peace of mind. After all, her golden finger cannot be separated from money.
On the train back, Bai Jing was thinking about Jiang Chen. It had been half a year and she didn't know how he was doing over there.
As she was thinking about him, the train clanged and pulled her back to City A.
After the group of four came back, they went to report to their director.
Zhou Zhenghao couldn't hide the joy on his face as he watched the four people return safely.
"I heard that Comrade Bai Jing has made another contribution this time. Haha, I was right about you, and you didn't bring shame to our City A." The higher-ups had sent countless documents praising Bai Jing, and he, the director, also benefited from it.
"Thank you for the compliment, Director. It's all thanks to everyone's efforts." She didn't dare to take all the credit on herself alone. Besides, it wasn't just her effort.
Without Captain Lin's trust, her mission findings would not be taken seriously. Without the support of Leader Li and the others, how could she complete her subsequent tasks successfully?
So, it’s everyone’s credit.
Everyone has a share of the credit this time.
"Haha, not bad, not bad. Although you are young, you are neither arrogant nor impatient. Very good." Zhou Zhenghao was as satisfied with Bai Jing as he could be at this time.
It can be said that this was the most praise he had received since he became the director.
Zhou Yang and the others were not jealous. They all had pride on their faces. After all, they really benefited from Bai Jing.
The four men left in poverty and returned in glory.
Everyone was excited and happy.
The happiest one among them was Captain Lin, because his military rank was promoted. You know, soldiers like them had to fight with real guns and bullets on the battlefield to get promoted.
No one is like him, getting a promotion in military rank is like getting a bargain.
He really needs to thank Bai Jing very much. She is really his lucky star.
"Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. I know you're all tired from the journey back, so I'll give you all five days off. Rest well and come back to work after you've rested."
"Yes, thank you, Chief." The four of them saluted together.
Zhou Zhenghao also stood up and returned the greeting to the four people. "Remember to go to the logistics department to collect your wages when you go back. Don't forget to get your benefits. I've specially approved some things for you this time. The department's rewards will be distributed after the celebration party for you."
When they heard there were rewards, the four of them were shocked. You can't blame them for making a fuss. Life is really not easy for every family these days, so they would naturally be happy to get more rewards.
"Yes, thank you, Chief."
After leaving the director's office, the four of them returned to their respective teams, checked in with their teammates, and then dragged their tired bodies back home.
When Bai Jing came back, the gate of her house was open. Her eyes lit up and she pushed the door open happily.
She thought she would see the man she missed, but unfortunately, it was just wishful thinking.
"Xiao Jing." Xiao Xue, who was drying quilts in the yard, looked up when she saw someone coming in. Unexpectedly, she saw someone who surprised her. "You're back."
Xiao Xue happily went forward and said, "You've been gone for half a year. I missed you so much." She came to her and hugged her. "You didn't even write a letter. I was so worried about you. And you didn't call me."
As she spoke, Xiao Xue's voice became choked with sobs. There was nothing she could do. She hadn't been able to contact anyone for half a year. How could she not be worried?
Although Bai Jing felt a little disappointed because the person was not the one she had been thinking about, she was still very happy that someone was thinking about her.
"Sister Xiao, I didn't expect to see you at home when I came back. I'm so happy." Bai Jing was indeed disappointed, but she was also really happy.
"I saw that the sun was shining brightly today, so I thought of taking out the quilts from your room and drying them in the sun. After all, it's autumn now, and drying the quilts will keep them warmer."
Yes, it was already autumn when she came back.
When I left, I wore cotton clothes and trousers, and when I came back, I only had to wear light clothes.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Xiao." The two of them let go, and the child beside them had already called out "Mommy, Mommy," "Hey, little one, your head is growing well, it's so tall."
Bai Jing stepped forward and picked up the little guy, "Do you still recognize your aunt, Duoduo?"
Duoduo's little brain doesn't have much memory, so how could he remember? He pouted and looked at his mother, with a signal in his eyes that said, "Mom, save me quickly."
"Mother."
Xiao Xue was happy, as if she hadn't noticed her son's aggrieved expression. "Don't be afraid, Duoduo. This is your aunt. Your aunt loves you so much. Let your aunt hug you."
With the comfort of his mother, the little guy finally stopped crying and called out "Auntie" in a soft voice, which almost softened Bai Jingxin.
"Duoduo is so good, auntie kisses you."
The little baby is the cutest at this time, "Come on, auntie brought you a gift, let's go inside and open the gift."
The three of them entered the house together, and the package that Bai Jing had placed on the ground was also brought in by Xiao Xue.
As soon as it was put down, Bai Jing went forward and grabbed it.
This time when she came back, she brought gifts for everyone, especially Xiao Xue and Song Dongling.
Today's incident not only warmed her heart but also made her feel that her efforts were not in vain. After all, everyone wants to be rewarded for their efforts.
"Here, this is for you. It's the latest goods from the foreign trade store in City B." She handed Xiao Xue a light blue chiffon long-sleeved dress.
As soon as it was taken out, Xiao Xue's attention was attracted to it and she no longer paid attention to her son at all.
When the little guy saw his mother got the gift, he also came to Bai Jing and squatted down, as if to say, "Where's mine? Where's mine?"
Bai Jing didn't let him down and took out a box. "This is for Duoduo. Open it and see if you like it."
The box contains the latest toys, a complete set, including tin frogs, glass beads, etc.
Because it is a set, there are quite a lot of things inside, so it is a fairly large box.
Afraid that the little guy couldn't open it, Bai Jing opened it for him personally, put it on the ground beside him, and let him sit on the ground to play.
"You're too extravagant. This skirt costs a lot of money." After the excitement, she felt distressed. Xiao Xue's conditions were not bad, but she was frugal on weekdays. After all, she had children to support. Now that she had no job, she naturally had to save some money.
"What are you talking about? In our relationship, money is the only thing that matters. Sister Xiao, go try it on and see if I bought one that's too big for you." Bai Jing didn't intend to tell her the price, fearing that she would feel burdened.
Naturally, Xiao Xue was bought a skirt, and the same was true for Song Dongling, but one of the families had a boy and the other a girl, so the gifts for the two children were different.
Lele bought a complete set of dolls, but they were not that big.
Song Dongling's skirt is bright red. When she saw this skirt, she felt that it was very suitable for Sister Song because she could wear it in such a style.
Wei Huiyan's family also has one, but Bai Jing bought it for her son. Forget about her, their relationship is not that good.
But what Bai Jing didn't know was that in order to save the relationship between husband and wife, Xiao Wei had already left City A with his wife and children and went to work in City D.
It has been more than a month since he left, and she is destined not to be able to give this gift.
When Xiao Xue changed her clothes and came out, she saw that the things on the ground were divided into several piles.
"You bought so many things, and you don't think they're too heavy. You must be tired carrying them all the way back." Xiao Xue, after changing into a top and skirt, seemed like a different person.
But Bai Jing felt something was strange and looked above her head again and again.
"Sister Xiao, let me comb your hair. Your braid doesn't match your skirt." Yes, the hairstyle doesn't match.
"I didn't realize you can do this." Xiao Xue was happy. "Thank you for your hard work. I'll wear my new clothes and go for a stroll in the street later." She laughed very happily.
"Sure! I'm just going to buy some vegetables. Let's eat at home today. We'll go and notify Sister Song later." Bai Jing had no objection and was very happy.
"No problem, I'll do as you say."
Bai Jing is very good at doing things with her hands. After a while, she let Xiao Xue's hair down and started to comb her hair into a new style.
Duoduo has started playing by himself, but he doesn't pay attention to what his mother and aunt are doing.
In about ten minutes, Xiao Xue's long hair was braided into a centipede braid at the back. Bai Jing also took out a silk scarf and weaved it into the braid as a hair accessory.
The scarf is light yellow, and it is particularly eye-catching when tied on her black hair. It matches her light blue dress and is extremely beautiful.
When Bai Jing was in town, she gave rejuvenating cream to Xiao Xue and Song Dongling. Their skin had improved a long time ago. They were already beauties even without makeup, let alone after dressing up like this. I'm afraid that even if Nan Lichen were here, he might not dare to recognize her as his simple wife.
"Okay, go inside and take a look. There is a big mirror inside." Bai Jing put away her things and said to Xiao Xue with a smile.
Xiao Xue couldn't wait to go into the house because there was a large dressing mirror on the wardrobe in the room.
This was bought specially for Bai Jing by Jiang Chen.
After a while, they heard a scream from the house, which scared Bai Jing and Duoduo.
Fortunately, when the sound stopped, a figure rushed out of the house. "Xiao Jing, your hands are so skillful, is this still me? I almost didn't recognize myself."
Bai Jing smiled without saying anything, just watching her excitedly.
"No, I'm going to the hospital to find Dong Ling and let her see how beautiful I am." Xiao Xue became excited when she thought of the envy in Dong Ling's eyes.
"Xiao Jing, let's take another route to the hospital later." She asked Bai Jing with anticipation in her eyes.
Bai Jing didn't care, "I'll do as you say."
So, after Bai Jing packed up her things, she followed Xiao Xue and carried Duoduo out of the yard.
After locking the door, the two went straight to the hospital where Song Dongling was.
When she found her, Song Dongling didn't recognize Xiao Xue at first.
If Bai Jing and Duoduo hadn't followed her, she would have mistaken Xiao Xue for a stranger.
It took more than one call of "Mom" to bring Song Dongling back to her senses.
"Oh my God, have you met a god?" Song Dongling whispered in Xiao Xue's ear after being surprised.
"What are you talking about? Sister Bai Jing made this for me. Doesn't it look good?"
"It's beautiful, beautiful, I want it too." Song Dongling looked at Bai Jing with tears in her eyes, "I want to be beautiful too."
Song Dongling has asked for leave.
In the afternoon, the three of them went to buy vegetables, rice, flour, grain and oil, and then called a rickshaw to take them back home.
As soon as she got home, Song Dongling asked Bai Jing to comb her hair as well.
Bai Jing had no choice but to give her the same hairstyle as Xiao Xue, but the color of the scarf on her head was different.
After all, she doesn't have two identical scarves.
The bright red dress looks great with a black and gold silk scarf. As soon as the dress was matched, Song Dongling said she would buy a pair of leather shoes to match her dress tomorrow.
Xiao Xue agreed with this point, "I think so too."
Bai Jing looked helpless.
