Chapter 244 Return Home for Reunion
The final evaluation results are out. Team three won so many awards that they were almost exhausted. The key point was that the director kept praising them at the city-wide public security officers conference.
What advanced models they are, with a united collectivist spirit, fearless fighting spirit and dedication, true public servants, they are an advanced group for all public security personnel to learn from.
Yes, yes, you are talking about our three teams.
The people in the three teams were all dressed smartly and had their lips pouted wildly. If they hadn't been clasping their hands hard, they would have laughed out loud and disrupted the meeting.
Seeing their captain go up to receive the award, their palms turned red from clapping. If it weren't for the strict venue discipline that still had some restraint, they would have turned the place into a disco.
Of course, their arrogance was already fresh in the memory of everyone present, and they felt jealous.
Damn it, they also want to be praised by the leader.
But my results are definitely not as good as theirs.
What else can I say if I am not up to the task? I can only be a ruthless applause machine in the audience.
After the meeting, Deng Xingwang led everyone from Team 3 to rush back to the team.
There was no way, the captain was kept behind by the leader to show concern and condolences.
He still has to take on the job of distributing the things.
Yes, that’s right, they are going to distribute New Year’s goods.
In addition to the usual New Year's goods such as chicken, duck, fish, goose, snacks, rice, flour, oil, vegetables, etc., their team received an extra bonus of 500 yuan compared to others, which meant they had enough money to buy all kinds of things for the New Year.
It was such a pleasant surprise.
Everyone in the three teams was in high spirits.
On the other side, Qiu Jiang couldn't help but smile.
"Keep working hard, and I'll promote you to detachment leader in two years."
Qiu Jiang knew that this might seem like empty talk, but anyone who loved their job couldn't hide their joy when they heard that their leader was planning to promote them.
She immediately stood at attention and saluted, her voice strong and powerful, "Thank you, leader. I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations."
"Hahaha, okay, I believe you."
Feng Wencheng also couldn't stop smiling.
After all, anyone who has such a strong general under his command would be very happy.
Especially since he had just been singled out for praise by the mayor at the meeting yesterday and was highly praised. He was in high spirits when he came out of the city government meeting room.
Thinking of this, he looked at Qiu Jiang with even more affection. He called on others to learn from her and asked her if she could organize a training class after returning from the New Year. He did not require her to do it after get off work. As long as she had time, she could organize colleagues across the city to learn from her experience. It would be best if they could improve together.
Qiu Jiang had no objection, but was just worried that she wouldn't be able to speak well.
However, as soon as she expressed her concern, without waiting for Feng Wencheng to say anything, the leaders of other cities, districts and counties began to praise her relentlessly.
"No, no, no, how could that be? We'll listen to whatever you have to say. When we get back, I'll ask all the guys in our branch to report in."
"We are the same. We will definitely come if we can. Whatever you say is fine."
…
They rushed to express their attitudes.
What a joke! Everyone knows how high the crime-solving rate of Team 3 is. Who would be willing to give up such a hard-earned opportunity to learn?
Even by then they themselves would be willing to go and listen.
She really underestimated everyone's enthusiasm, and in the end she had no choice but to agree.
Now, the old brothers who had disliked her because they saw Team 3 having such a great time today smiled at her with sunshine as warm as spring sunshine, and called her "beautiful girl" and "sister" all the time.
They all wished they could worship her as their ancestor.
This enthusiasm is really unbearable.
Qiu Jiang's scalp tingled with fear at what they said. She struggled to avoid everyone's scorching gazes and escaped their encirclement.
After finishing her last shift, she and her friend Deng Xingwang rushed to the airport, where they met up with Ji Mingcheng who had already arrived, and then the three of them boarded a plane to Anxi.
Anxi Airport is small but well-equipped. After they landed, they quickly left the terminal and met their relatives who had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Jiang Jiang——"
Shi Yuexiu, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw her. He touched her cheek and tears flowed down.
"You've lost weight. Are you tired?"
Qiu Jiang threw herself into her arms and acted coquettishly, "No, I've gained weight. Look at my muscles."
She bent her arms, acting like a bodybuilder, but she was wearing a down jacket, so her muscles were not really visible. Instead, her cute gesture made Shi Yuexiu laugh and cry. He touched her hair and cheeks from time to time, expressing his longing for her without reservation.
Qiu Hengan was also visibly excited, but he was a relatively introverted person and did not show his emotions as openly as his wife. However, his slightly red eyes still betrayed his concern.
Basically, she has never left home since her parents passed away. Now she has been in a strange place for more than half a year. He has been worried that she has not eaten well or lived well, and he couldn't help but call her and send things every few days. Now seeing that her face is rosy and she is still happy, the heart that was always worried has finally returned to its original place.
She finally had the mind to turn her gaze to the person next to her.
"I'm back."
He patted Ji Mingcheng on the shoulder, and his tone was more intimate and familiar than half a year ago.
Obviously, she already knew about his relationship with Qiu Jiang.
Ji Mingcheng smiled and said, "Yes, Happy New Year, big brother."
"Happy, happy."
Qiu Hengan laughed heartily.
"Uncle, Happy New Year~~"
Qiu Simiao and Qiu Sien still called him in a long voice, but the name had changed.
Hearing the word "uncle", Ji Mingcheng's eyes softened, and visible joy filled his cheeks. He rubbed the heads of the two little guys and said, "Be good, I'll open your presents when we get back."
“Wow—”
The two little men's eyes lit up and they kept clapping their hands.
"It's so cold, don't just stand here, go back quickly."
Qiu Hengan was afraid that they were cold, so he urged them.
Deng Xingwang, who was not far from them, screamed "Ouch, ouch" and pointed at them to complain about his parents.
"Mom and Dad, do you know what welcome means? Brother Qiu is a real welcome. Your little fists are simply murder—"
He complained at the top of his voice, making his parents blush and start punching him.
"Oh my god, Jiang Jiang, Captain Ji, I'm running away first—"
Deng Xingwang complained bitterly and ran faster than a monkey, but it brought endless joy to the onlookers.
"Let's go, let's go home——"
Qiu Jiang waved her arms and walked away holding Shi Yuexiu and Qiu Hengan's hands. Even her two nephews and nieces were ashamed of themselves for being so coquettish.
As expected of my aunt, she is so awesome.
They cheered and held Ji Mingcheng's hand, "Uncle, uncle, keep walking, we can't keep up."
Ji Mingcheng raised his eyebrows, "How is that possible?"
He picked up one in each hand, held them horizontally with a squeak, and ran a few steps to catch up with Qiu Jiang and the others.
“Waaaaaaaaaa——”
Qiu Simiao and Qiu Sien laughed so hard that they clapped their hands vigorously.
When we arrived at Qiu Ji, the food had already been prepared, and the person who took care of everything was Xie Youlian, who had been promoted to the hotel lobby manager.
Now she has her hair tied up and wears a pink suit. She looks capable and confident. Compared with her condition six months ago, she has reached a new level.
"Sister Lian is so beautiful, give me a hug."
Qiu Jiang opened her arms and hugged her. The moment she saw her, Xie Youlian's eyes were already filled with tears. Seeing that she wanted to hug him, he opened his arms to hug her helplessly.
"You're back. You must have been exhausted over the past six months. We saw the case you solved in the newspaper. You're really amazing. Sister Lian is proud of you."
If we were to say who Xie Youlian was most fortunate to have met in her life, the Qiu family would be it.
Especially her.
She could never forget how he saved her and her daughter from danger two years ago.
It can be said that if it weren't for her and Captain Ji and the others, she would have died in the ancestral cave long ago. Later, her family helped her in every way.
He helped her pay her medical bills, take care of her daughter, rent a house for her, and even let her work in his own store.
The eldest brother and his wife of the Qiu family treated her daughter as their own child. As soon as she got home from school, they let Ranran play, eat and sleep with Enen and Miaomiao, making Ranran more and more cheerful.
It can be said that without them, she would never have become a new-age woman who is capable of supporting herself and her daughter as she is today.
She hadn't thought about the past for a long time, but now she couldn't control her emotions, and all her words were drowned out by tears.
Qiu Jiang couldn't bear to let her cry like that, so she quickly wiped her tears and said, "Don't cry, don't cry. You can't cry on such a wonderful day. You should be happy."
"Yes, A'lian, Jiang Jiang is right. It's a good day and we should smile." Shi Yuexiu looked at them with smiling eyes.
Xie Youlian quickly stopped crying and choked up, "Look at me, I really shouldn't be crying on New Year's Day."
"Okay, okay, you are allowed to cry a little just now, but you have to keep laughing from now on." Qiu Jiang smiled, showing a standard happy smile.
What a sweet smile, really beautiful and cute.
Xie Youlian couldn't cry anymore and burst out laughing.
"Hey, laugh, you must laugh."
"That's right."
"Come, come, the food is here, come and eat--"
Qiu Siyu, Qiu Sichen and other waiters brought out the dishes from the kitchen. A group of people surrounded the table, making it very lively.
"Happy New Year, let's have a drink——"
Qiu Jiang stood up and raised his glass.
"Hahaha, touch one, touch one——"
Qiu Ji, which was closed today, was filled with laughter and joy.
After three rounds of drinks, when she got home, her cheeks were already red, but she was still happy and excited about going home.
In the end, it was Ji Mingcheng who carried her home.
He carried her on his back as he walked along the road in the community, listening to her chattering about the things they had experienced together in the past, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.
At this moment, a bit of cold crystal fell on her eyelashes. She stretched out a hand to catch the falling snowflakes and said in surprise, "Ah Cheng, it's snowing! I haven't seen snow for a long time. It's so beautiful!"
Ji Mingcheng said, "Then after we get married, I will bring you back to see the snow every winter."
"Okay, okay." Qiu Jiang smiled happily. After she heard what he said, she hugged his neck again, blew air on his neck, and asked with sparkling eyes, "So, are you proposing to me?"
"Yes, do you agree?"
Ji Mingcheng's voice seemed to soften a little, and even though he held her as steady as ever, his arms tightened slightly, revealing his nervousness at the moment.
Qiu Jiang tilted her head and asked curiously, "Do I have any reason to refuse?"
Ji Mingcheng paused slightly, "So you agree?"
"What else? Am I going to marry someone else?"
She asked back.
The result was that this rhetorical question immediately provoked a backlash from him.
"No—"
"You are not allowed to marry anyone else, you can only marry me——"
His tone was firm and domineering, and he would not allow any possibility of this happening at all.
"Hehe, Captain Ji is so domineering."
Qiu Jiang said with a drunken smile.
"Of course."
He didn't refute it at all.
Anyway, the roses I grow can only be planted in his yard.
lifetime.
Only then!
No, that's not enough.
