This road was originally an uneven dirt road, but now it has become a smooth cement road.
Within two minutes, Fu Wan drove to the entrance of Fu Family Village. Just then, a horn sounded from behind. Fu Wan and Fang Min turned around and saw that the car had caught up with them.
"That's strange, I'll go down and take a look!"
Fang Min was about to get out of the car when she said that the car had probably taken the wrong road. If it was going to the camp, it wouldn't need to turn into the small road in Fujia Village.
Fang Min was about to go up and ask what was going on when, just as she got out of the car, a surprised voice came from behind her.
"Haha, Xiao Fang, Comrade Xiao Fu, it really is you two!"
A man leaned out of the jeep window. If it weren't for the familiar voice, Fu Wan wouldn't have recognized him as Sun Shaoping at first glance.
Sun Shao-ping has changed quite a bit compared to his previous appearance; his face is a little rounder and he looks a bit fatter.
He usually wears a hat, but he wasn't wearing one this time. He had a regular buzz cut, and you could see his noticeably mottled white hair from a distance.
"Boss, you're back from out of town?"
Fu Wan got out of the car and greeted him with delight. Sun Shao Ping laughed heartily and waved his hand, gesturing for her to get into his car.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, come here quickly, I came here specifically to see you."
Fang Min could also drive, and seeing that the old leader had something to discuss with Fu Wan, she simply got into the driver's seat and prepared to drive Fu Wan's car back.
As soon as they got in the car, Sun Shao-ping couldn't wait to take out a cloth bag and hand it to Fu Wan.
"Take this quickly. This is a reward from your superiors. I've been keeping it safe for you for over a month, and today I've finally found the opportunity to give it to you."
Fu Wan had known about this thing for a while, but she still couldn't help but be happy to have it in her hands now.
This is a reward from the higher-ups. Even if we don't know what it is, if it's just a blank piece of paper, Boss Fu will definitely set off firecrackers and enshrine it when he gets back.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, aren't you going to open it and see what's inside?"
Sun Shaoping asked in surprise. He had to admit that Fu Wan was calmer than him. When he first got this thing, he was so excited that he wandered around the yard several times.
Fu Wan gave an embarrassed smile and said frankly, "We're in the leader's car, so I have to be mindful of my image. If I get too excited later, I'm afraid I'll scare the leader."
"Haha, not at all. You should still open it and take a look. I guarantee you'll find something you'd never expect!"
Since Sun Shao-ping had said so, Fu Wan didn't hesitate and quickly unwrapped the cloth bag under the curious gazes of the two guards.
Inside the cloth bag was a rectangular box about thirty centimeters long.
The box was military green and looked ordinary, but Fu Wan knew that something that Sun Shao-ping would personally deliver could not be ordinary.
After a few seconds of mental preparation, Fu Wan took a deep breath and opened the box. Even though she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw what was inside.
Good heavens, what's inside the box is a golden military medal!
The medal looks very high-quality, with a beautiful red five-pointed star in the center, and the words "August 1st" are clearly written in the middle of the star.
Next to the medal was a small red box with the words "First-Class Merit Medal" clearly written in gold lettering below it!
"This...this is for me?"
Fu Wan swallowed hard, and it took her a while to find her voice.
May Mazu protect me! Am I dreaming? How could I possibly take this?
In Fu Wan's mind, those who could receive military medals were outstanding soldiers who fought bravely on the battlefield and made great achievements. What did she do to deserve such an award?
Seeing Fu Wan's unusually embarrassed expression, Sun Shaoping couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Haha, Comrade Fu, you're actually embarrassed! You're being modest. This really is for you!"
Sun Shao-ping was honored and then began to explain the origin of the medal.
In fact, after the conflict in the south subsided a while ago, the higher-ups were very satisfied, and all the soldiers who participated in the incident were rewarded.
Sun Shao-ping, who was in charge, naturally also received a second-class merit award. Sun Shao-ping wasn't too surprised; at his age, he already had a drawer full of such medals.
So I've long since passed the point of getting excited about medals.
He wasn't an ungrateful person. The golden needles that Fu Wan gave him saved his life. During his recovery, he learned that Fu Wan had asked Bai Qianzhou to hand over the golden needles and medical books, and he started thinking about how to ask Fu Wan for a reward.
There definitely needs to be a reward, but what kind of reward should be given is the question.
Fu Wan already has the calligraphy from the higher-ups, and she's not short of money either.
After thinking it over, Sun Shaoping happened to run into the political commissar who was counting the number of people and awarding medals. He immediately had an idea: to get a medal for Fu Wan as well!
To be honest, getting a military medal isn't difficult, but Fu Wan is an outsider, so it becomes a difficult task to get a medal for someone who isn't part of the system.
In addition, Sun Shao-ping was also ambitious. He felt that the third-class merit medal was not enough and insisted on helping Fu Wan to get a second-class or higher medal.
This is unprecedented in history, and the difficulty of winning it is self-evident.
When Sun Shaoping made this suggestion, his colleagues thought he was out of his mind and advised him to give up.
Only Sun Shao-ping insisted on his suggestion regardless of the consequences. In his opinion, not to mention Fu Wan's contribution in handing over the golden needles and medical books, her ability to find the Imperial Seal of the State, her journey to the United States to find another Imperial Seal, and her efforts to obtain so many gold coins were all things that ordinary people could accomplish.
Not to mention ordinary people, even Sun Shao-ping couldn't do it.
Fu Wan was the only one who didn't officially join their team. If she had been officially employed, she would have received the First-Class Merit Medal long ago.
These remarks silenced the opponents immediately, and indeed, these items were priceless. He was an ordinary person who had made such a great contribution to the country, so it was not unreasonable for him to ask for a medal.
But it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a first-class merit!
Everyone present knew how valuable the First-Class Merit was.
This is the first-class merit they've always dreamed of.
Sun Shaoping didn't care about these people and reported his needs anyway. Soon, his superiors called him over and asked him carefully. They then learned that the medical books and acupuncture needles that had recently caused a scramble between the museum and the Chinese Medicine Association were once again sent by Fu Wan.
At Sun Shaoping's request, the leaders considered it for a long time and finally agreed to make an exception and award Fu Wan a first-class merit medal.
A first-class merit is well-deserved for someone who has made outstanding contributions to the country, even if she were just an ordinary person!
Sun Shao-ping briefly recounted these events, without emphasizing his own contributions. He explained that he had been saved by Fu Wan's golden needles, and now that he had helped her obtain a first-class merit, he considered it a way of repaying Fu Wan's kindness.
