Chapter 8 Chapter 8 I blushed when I was praised
Qiu Jiang chattered non-stop beside Shi Yuexiu, and her attitude was very intimate, not like they had only known each other for more than a month.
In fact, it is not.
To be precise, they were aunts and sisters-in-law in their previous life.
Unfortunately, her eldest sister-in-law died of childbirth due to grief over her eldest brother's death in battle when she was five years old. When she woke up in this life and saw her, she thought she had gone to the underworld, so she saw her sister-in-law who had passed away long ago.
When the memories in her mind were completely integrated, she realized that she had arrived in an era hundreds of years later. Her sister-in-law was still alive and had given birth to nephews and nieces safely.
What was also surprising was that her eldest brother was there too.
Even though my eldest brother had an accident three years ago and still can't stand up, at least our family is still here and everything will be fine.
When they got home, Qiu Jiang saw her elder brother sitting in a wheelchair and shouted happily, "Brother, we are back——"
The man in front of me was about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, tall, with slightly dark skin. Even though he was in a wheelchair, it couldn't conceal his strong temperament.
At this moment, he was weaving bamboo with his hands. Bamboo rabbits and piglets were placed in a basket on the ground. Each one looked vivid and lifelike, attracting the surprised gazes of other children in the yard.
Qiu Hengan finally raised his head when he heard her voice. His cold eyes softened instantly when he saw them. He whispered, "You're back."
"Yeah, you're back." Shi Yuexiu took a step forward and looked at him distressedly, "Why are you doing this again? Is your hand hurt?"
"It's okay, I'm not that useless." Qiu Hengan rubbed her cold hands. "Are you tired?"
"Not tired." Shi Yuexiu's face was full of an unconcealable smile and shyness, "Jiang Jiang is still here."
"Hehe, I'm not here, I don't have any, just pretend I don't exist." Qiu Jiang smiled and happened to see her two little nephews and nieces coming back holding hands, so she simply greeted them.
"Miao Miao, yes, go wash your hands with my aunt."
Two little kids, about five or six years old, responded obediently.
"Okay, little aunt."
The two little guys put their hands into hers and followed her away, skipping and jumping. Their actions were not exactly the same as what she had done just now, but they were exactly the same.
Looking at the backs of the aunt and nephew leaving, the couple smiled at the same time.
"The meal is ready, let's go eat." Qiu Hengan said.
Shi Yuexiu had already pushed the wheelchair and said, "Okay."
Their house was located right in the middle of the courtyard, and they also lived in the two rooms next to it. For convenience, they simply chiseled a door on both walls of the house to facilitate movement between the three rooms.
When the couple walked in, the two children had already washed their hands and were distributing chopsticks and dishes with Qiu Jiang. When they saw them come in, they immediately ran to move the chairs, showing great consideration and understanding.
"Mom and Dad, it's time to eat."
"Okay, let's eat."
While the family of five was having dinner, Qiu Jiang described in a very vivid way how he had managed to identify the murderer today.
The four of them listened attentively, and the two little ones exclaimed "Wow" one after another, and their eyes became starry when they looked at their little aunt.
"My aunt is so amazing."
"My aunt is so amazing."
The two little guys were worthy of being twins. They praised and applauded in unison, and their movements were very uniform.
Shi Yuexiu, however, couldn't help but feel worried when she described the movements. "Is it so dangerous? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine, don't worry, sister-in-law."
Shi Yuexiu finally calmed down a little, but she still felt sorry for a young and frail girl like her who had to do such a dangerous job as a criminal police officer.
If it weren't for the accident, she wouldn't have gone to the free police academy. Whenever she thought of this, she felt sorry for herself.
Even she thought so, let alone Qiu Hengan.
If his leg hadn't been broken...
"Cough, cough, cough."
Seeing that the topic had deviated to three years ago, Qiu Jiang immediately coughed to draw everyone's attention back. She clapped her hands, cleared her throat, and announced an important decision.
"Dear brother and sister-in-law, nephews and nieces, tomorrow the Municipal Bureau will be selecting police officers from across the city to form a new Municipal Bureau Criminal Investigation Team. I have decided to sign up."
Seeing Qiu Heng'an frowning, Qiu Jiang immediately sped up his speech.
"I signed up because I love the police profession so much. I want to be a really good police officer and bring those bad guys to justice. This is my dream, not for any other reason, so please don't overthink it."
Seeing that the two were still worried, Qiu Jiang's heart softened. She spoke in a gentle tone but with a firm look in her eyes.
"Brother, sister-in-law, the little girl you are taking care of has grown up. You must trust every decision she makes. Besides, not only are you a member of the family, she also wants to work hard for this family."
In both of her lives, she was well protected by her family. Although her parents passed away later in her previous life, they took good care of her when they were alive. Although her parents died early in this life, she had an elder brother and sister-in-law who took care of her like their own child. With such a good family, how could she bear to let them bear the responsibility of supporting the family?
"And once I get to the city bureau, I'll have more opportunities to travel. Maybe then I can find out where I can get treatment for Big Brother's leg. That way, I can better realize my dream and find a good doctor. What a great thing! So, I understand everything clearly and have made this decision carefully. Don't let your imagination run wild."
The reasons she gave were all sincere. Of course, another reason was that the salary at the Municipal Bureau was obviously higher, and she had been coveting it for a long time. Unfortunately, she was just a rookie from the police academy who had just reported to the branch. She was lucky enough to be able to stay, and had never thought of other possibilities. Now that she finally had such a good opportunity, she would definitely not let it go.
After saying that, fearing they wouldn't believe it, Qiu Jiang added, "The man who just sent me back is our future captain. He's from Hong Kong and won't be here for long. When he leaves, the captain position will be vacant. Maybe I can even become the first female criminal police captain in our city. Then you will be the big brother and sister-in-law of the first female criminal police captain in Anxi City. How cool is that?"
"Ah, ah, auntie is so amazing."
"Great, then Enen and I will be the nephew and niece of Anxi City's first female criminal police captain."
The two of them couldn't understand anything else, but they listened to Qiu Jiang's mindless praise and thought their aunt was amazing.
Listening to her explanation, Qiu Hengan and his wife felt mixed emotions, and tears flashed in their eyes at the same time. They were proud and distressed, and at the same time they were amused by her.
"I haven't left yet, but you're already thinking about my location."
Qiu Jiang didn't feel embarrassed and said righteously, "The disciple is better than the master. Captain Ji will definitely be happy that I have such a lofty goal."
She was as confident as a worm in Ji Mingcheng's stomach, but Ji Mingcheng didn't know that he could be happy about this at this time. He was busy eating at Lu Jianian's grandfather's house, and would go back to his own home contentedly after having a full stomach. He had no idea that someone was already thinking about how to overthrow the powerful.
The next day, at dawn, the sounds of people walking around and talking could be heard in the courtyard, full of the atmosphere of daily life.
After a heart-to-heart talk yesterday, Qiu Hengan finally stopped blaming himself. In order to cheer her up, he even started working in the makeshift kitchen outside early in the morning.
In the west room, Qiu Jiang was successfully awakened on time by the biological clock she had developed over the past month. She shook her still sleeping niece and said, "Yes, wake up."
Little Qiu Sien rubbed her sleepy eyes and put on her underwear by herself.
Qiu Jiang quickly dressed herself up and did not forget to help her niece put on her outer clothes. When she left the house, breakfast was already on the table.
Not only did they prepare her favorite noodles, but they also added two eggs and a sausage, exactly the same as those for her nephews and nieces, which made her laugh and cry. However, it felt really good to be cared for by her family, especially since her eldest brother's cooking skills were really good. She finished the noodles in no time.
"Brother and sister-in-law, I'm going to work--" she shouted and ran out of the yard full of energy.
Qiu Hengan quickly called her back, "Jiang Jiang, lunch box——"
"Oh oh." Qiu Jiang turned back, put the lunch box into her bag, and quickly ran out of the yard.
After running five or six hundred meters, she reached the bus stop. The bus arrived soon and she jumped on it.
There were not many people around at that time, so she picked up a chair at the back of the bus and sat down. As the bus swayed, she leisurely enjoyed the different scenery outside the window. The fresh morning air blew on her cheeks through the window, a little cool, but also very comfortable.
The Anlu District Police Station is not close. She took a one-hour bus ride and changed two buses before she arrived at the bus stop 300 meters away from the police station. Fortunately, it was not far from her workplace, so she could walk there.
When she arrived, most of her colleagues had not arrived yet. Only a few colleagues who arrived early had been gathered together chatting for a long time. When they saw her coming, their eyes lit up.
"Jiang Jiang, you did a great job. You really gave our director a lot of face. When we were leaving get off work yesterday, our director got a call from the Municipal Bureau and he was so happy."
At this time, everyone's sense of collective honor was still very strong, especially when they heard that the murderer was very cunning. Even Captain Guo from the Municipal Bureau did not realize that he was the murderer at first. However, such a cunning person was discovered to be wrong by the people in their bureau at the first time. Even if they did not go to the scene, it did not prevent everyone from having a strong sense of collective honor and starting to praise her crazily.
It was the first time she realized that there were so many words to praise people, such as "sharp-minded and insightful", "quick to react and strong in action", etc.
These compliments made Qiu Jiang blush so much that she even doubted whether the person they were talking about was really her. However, it felt really good to be recognized by everyone.
She was full of energy at the moment, and even felt that it would be no problem for her to catch ten criminals at once. However, she never expected that this opportunity would come so soon.
After a few seconds, the door of the police station was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Chen Da strode in with a sour face. After taking a quick look around, he started counting people.
"All of you follow me now, immediately—"
What case is so urgent?
Qiu Jiang had a bad feeling.
