Chapter 95: A Second-Class Merit

Everyone looked over curiously.

Song Shiwei also raised her head and looked outside. At this time, the car stopped in front of their house.

Zhou Tingyue couldn't help but frown when he looked at the license plate.

Government cars in Qing City?

Many people in the family compound who heard the noise came out to see the excitement.

"Who is it? Driving such a fancy car?"

"That's right, what does this guy do?"

"Why are you still parked in front of Zhou's house?"

..........

Sun Meimei and others looked at the car and then at Song Shiwei curiously.

"Are you relatives?"

Song Shiwei shook his head.

"No, we live in Beijing. We don't have any relatives here, right?"

As they were talking, a few more people came over from the entrance of the alley. Leading them were Commander Zhao and Political Commissar Liu, who had rushed over after hearing the news!

Now everyone was even more puzzled.

Everyone was discussing in a stagnant voice.

But when the driver got out of the car, Song Shiwei frowned for a moment.

This person looks familiar, she seems to have... seen him before!

As the rear door slowly opened and the middle-aged man wearing glasses got out, Song Shiwei's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Big Leader??"

Gu Changrong smiled and nodded to her.

"Hello, Comrade Xiao Song!"

Now it was Zhou Tingyue's turn to be surprised.

This guy seems to be the top leader of Qing City? Why is he here and so familiar with his wife?

Commander Zhao, who followed closely, also stepped forward and shook hands with him in surprise.

"Hey, Secretary Gu, why are you here?"

Political Commissar Liu also stepped forward with a smile: "Secretary Gu is a very busy man! Are you here for the commendation this time?"

As he said this, he glanced at Song Shiwei beside him with some surprise.

He really didn't expect that the young wife of Tingyue's family was so powerful? Judging from what happened just now, it seemed that she had known Gu Shuji for a long time?

Gu Changrong smiled and nodded: "I should have come yesterday, but I was delayed because of some things in the factories in Qing City. So, I hurried over to see our heroine early this morning!"

After hearing the conversation between the few people, the whole family compound exploded instantly.

"What? Heroine? Are you talking about Song Shiwei?"

"I heard the leaders call him Secretary? It seems that this man is a big leader?"

"My God, the Tingyue family is so lucky to have the secretary come to see her in person. Who is she?"

"She seems to be from Beijing, right? I heard from Sun Meimei that her family in Beijing is just an ordinary working-class family."

"Then why does she look so affectionate with the secretary?"

Some people who were jealous curled their lips and said, "Maybe the secretary is just approachable and polite!"

Gu Changrong also heard the discussion. He smiled and signaled his accompanying secretary to bring the medal for Song Shiwei over.

It was a shining gold medal and a certificate. The most obvious thing was the words "Comrade Song Shiwei won the Second Class Merit for His Righteous Act of Bravery" written on it!

Second class merit is an award given for outstanding contributions to the country and the people.

Those who have outstanding achievements and made great contributions can be awarded the third-class merit; those who have made important contributions can be awarded the second-class merit; those who have made significant contributions and have had a great impact can be awarded the first-class merit.

Ordinary people have never seen these things. The contribution they make is usually just a certificate of "Outstanding Individual" or "Heroic Act".

Song Shiwei actually won a second-class merit! What does this mean?

This means that "her" heroic deeds will be recorded in the local chronicles and recorded in history.

Moreover, the state has regulations that the spouses and children of those who have performed heroic acts and have been awarded second-class merit or above, or those who have sacrificed themselves for heroic acts, enjoy preferential treatment in employment, schooling, and other aspects.

In other words, now that Song Shiwei has received this second-class merit, not only herself, but also her children will have a good future!

This is truly a great event!

All of a sudden, the whole family was in an uproar.

"Oh my god! It's actually a second-class merit!"

"What did Song Shiwei do to deserve a second-class merit? No wonder the secretary came here in person!"

"I heard from Sun Meimei that they ran into human traffickers when they went to the market. It was Song Shiwei who fought bravely with the gang leader and alerted the local militia, which allowed them to successfully capture the human traffickers!"

"Oh my god, she's so awesome/"

"I was so scared just hearing that!"

"Wow, she's really amazing! No wonder she's so capable. She even got to know someone at the Qing City Clothing Factory and got a cheap cotton coat from them! She's really amazing!"

Gu Changrong handed her the medal and certificate, as well as the bonus from above. It was not much, but not small either, two hundred yuan!

For people of this era, two hundred yuan is indeed not a small amount.

Gu Changrong smiled and said, "The higher-ups were originally discussing distributing some hot pots, washbasins, teacups, and so on. I made the decision myself and exchanged them for tickets for you! This way, you can buy whatever you need yourself!"

Song Shiwei looked at the thick stack of money and bills and took them with a smile, especially the medal, which she took with both hands.

"Thank you for the recognition from the organization, and thank you to the leaders! Thank you leaders!"

Gu Changrong smiled amiably, "Why thank me? You deserve it! Your bravery in fighting the human traffickers is an example for everyone to learn from. Moreover, it is because of you that the militia was able to capture the human traffickers in the market and rescue many children! The parents of those children even said that they must come to thank you in person! If you hadn't lived in the military compound, your doorstep would have been trampled down! Hehehe!"

Song Shiwei also laughed.

At this time, Gu Changrong looked at Zhou Tingyue who was standing aside.

The young man in front of me was tall and handsome, with extraordinary bearing and appearance.

He smiled and held out his hand to him: "You must be Zhou Tingyue, Captain Zhou, right? I only heard of you before, but never saw you in person. Today I finally saw you. I heard that you personally led the team to encircle and suppress Yushan this time?"

Zhou Tingyue smiled and shook his hand, nodding and saying, "Yes, sir!"

Gu Changrong was extremely happy.

"Well, well, well, you two are really great. You two have made outstanding contributions to the country and the people!!"

Commander Zhao saw him praising Zhou Tingyue, and a smug look appeared on his face: "Of course not, I brought this guy up, I am really proud of him, and this time he made a thorough plan to encircle Yushan, there were almost no casualties, and we successfully captured 11 criminals and rescued a total of 57 women and children! But he himself was injured when fighting with the criminals! I just approved two days of leave for him to have a good rest!"

Gu Changrong looked towards Zhou Tingyue with even more awe, but also a hint of heartache.
