Chapter 95 About the Wooden Cannon
After a while, around noon, Song Yiyuan came back, followed by the leader and Political Commissar Wang, who were both smiling brightly.
Zhou Lie was sweeping up waste in the yard. When he saw the smiles on the commander and Political Commissar Wang's faces, he was stunned for a second. He dropped his broom and immediately saluted.
"Hello, Chief, Hello, Political Commissar."
The leader and Political Commissar Wang immediately stopped smiling when they saw him: "Why are you here?"
Zhou Lie's smile froze on his face: "I'll help my sister-in-law."
When they heard that he was going to help Lin Qingqing, their expressions softened a little, and they glanced past him and looked at Lin Qingqing in the shed.
It would be inconvenient to talk with outsiders in the yard, so Political Commissar Wang suggested that everyone go to his house to talk.
"Comrade Lin, I have something to talk to you and Team Leader Song about. Please come to my house."
When she saw the information bag in Political Commissar Wang's hand, she understood instantly.
"Okay, Chief, Political Commissar." She stood up and walked towards the door.
Upon hearing the response, the political commissar and the chief immediately smiled, their eyes full of kindness, like elders looking at their juniors.
When the leader and the political commissar saw her coming, they turned around and went to the yard next door on the right. Song Yiyuan waited for Lin Qingqing to reach the door, and then went to the political commissar's house with her.
As soon as Lin Qingqing entered the door, she saw the yard full of flowers. These flowers should have been dug from the mountain behind. She had seen several of them on the mountain.
The political commissar's sister-in-law is also very interesting. Other people grow vegetables, but she grows flowers.
The political commissar's three children were not here. None of them joined the army and were assigned to work outside.
Political Commissar Wang opened the door to the main room and invited a few people to come in and sit down.
He poured three cups of tea for the three people, and the cups were made of exquisite white porcelain.
As soon as Lin Qingqing entered the main hall, a word automatically popped up in her mind: luxury.
The other sister-in-law's house only has a few simple pieces of furniture, all in dark brown, and the style is mainly simple and practical.
As for the political commissar's house... a leather sofa, a large bookshelf, a high-legged tea table, a plug-in floor lamp, a fireplace, a crystal glass tray, a dark red crocheted wool carpet on the floor, and there was even a coffee machine on the long desk!
The political commissar's family is really rich~
Political Commissar Wang watched Lin Qingqing survey the furnishings at home and smiled, "Your sister-in-law is an overseas Chinese who grew up abroad. She arranged all of this. You'll know when she comes back in a couple of days. She's a quiet person and doesn't like interacting with the families in the compound."
Pointing to a bookshelf as tall as a person, he continued, "She likes to read at home, and these are what she reads."
Lin Qingqing took a quick look and found that half of the books were in foreign languages.
But none of this had anything to do with her, so she sat down opposite the political commissar.
The leader and Political Commissar Wang looked at each other, and finally Political Commissar Wang compromised.
Political Commissar Wang: He is such a useless guy. He always has to stand in front.
He put on a genial smile again. "Comrade Lin, this time the nation is grateful for your contributions and has brought the Chinese military to a new starting point. I hereby grant you the rank of Colonel and a reward of 10,000 yuan. Please continue to contribute to the nation. The nation will not let anyone who has talent suffer unfairly."
The political commissar was a political commissar who only spoke politely. In just a few words, he expressed the matter of Lin Qingqing's initiative to ask for a military position and money in a way that was comfortable for everyone.
Since it wasn't just a polite remark, Lin Qingqing responded beautifully: "I'm honored to contribute to China's development. I will work harder and thank the country for its recognition."
The leader nodded and said yes repeatedly: "Okay, okay."
The political commissar opened the information bag and took out the contents, which were two notebooks.
"Comrade Lin, this is your officer ID. Please keep it."
The political commissar handed over the officer's certificate with both hands. On the small red booklet were three large gold-plated characters "Officer's Certificate".
Lin Qingqing took it with both hands and opened it. On the left was Lin Qingqing's information and at the bottom was the chief's signature. On the right was a headshot with the seal of the 97th Unit on it.
This photo was taken before she came to join the army. Lin's mother asked her to go to a photo studio to take a photo as a souvenir, and she also kept two photos for herself. At noon, Song Yiyuan asked her if she had a headshot, and she gave him one. It turned out that it was used here.
"Here is a passbook with 10,000 yuan in it. Please keep it."
Isn't it unsafe for a little girl to carry so much money? The chief was worried about Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing took the passbook with a smile and threw it directly into the space from her pocket.
After saying this, the commander and the political commissar's expressions became noticeably serious. They glanced at Song Yiyuan, then at Lin Qingqing and asked, "Comrade Lin, you've officially become a soldier now. There are some things we don't need to hide from you. I heard from Xiao Song that you found a wooden stick in the mountains of your hometown?"
Lin Qingqing nodded. Wasn't this incident a while ago? Why bring it up now?
The commander seemed to see her confusion and explained, "Xiao Song was ambushed and seriously injured while on a mission. Firstly, there was a problem within our ranks, and secondly, the enemy agents used a special drug that knocked Xiao Song out of his right mind, leading to the ambush."
"Xiao Song was lucky to be rescued by your father in time. He said that once when they went up the mountain together, you found a wooden gun that was used by enemy spies. We'd like to ask if you saw any unusual signs when you saw it."
Lin Qingqing thought carefully and said, "I found it near the roots of the tree where I was picking wild Ganoderma lucidum. The wooden bin was covered with dead leaves, as if it was deliberately concealed. There was nothing unusual about it."
She was looking for herbs nearby and didn't see anything unusual.
The chief and Song Yiyuan exchanged a glance, and Song Yiyuan said, "I was exploring the area surrounding my injuries, just trying my luck. I looked around but didn't see any traces. It looked like someone had deliberately treated the area."
The chief nodded and looked at Song Yiyuan: "Then you can set off tomorrow morning."
The political commissar forced a smile and said, "Alright, that's it. You two can go home."
He stood up and walked them to the door.
