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 frowned when he looked at the license plate.
Qingshi’s government car?
Many people in the family compound who heard the noise came out to watch the excitement.
"Who is it? Driving such a fancy car?"
"That's right, what does this person 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.
"Your relatives?"
Song Shiwei shook his head.
"No, our family is in Jing City. Don't we have any relatives here?"
As he was speaking, 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.
They were discussing it in a stammering manner.
But when the car driver got out, Song Shiwei frowned immediately.
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 at her.
"Hello, Comrade Xiao Song!"
Now it was Zhou Tingyue's turn to be surprised.
This person seems to be the top leader of Qing City, right? What about him? How could he appear here and be 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 the situation just now, it seems that she has known Secretary Gu for a long time?
Gu Changrong smiled and nodded: "I should have come yesterday, but I was delayed because of some things at several factories in Qing City. So, I hurried over to see our heroine early this morning!"
After hearing the conversation between the few people, the entire family compound exploded instantly.
"What? Female hero? 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 Sun Meimei say that her family in Beijing is just an ordinary working-class family."
"Then why does she seem so close to the secretary?"
Some people who were jealous curled their lips and said, "Maybe the secretary is very approachable and polite!"
Gu Changrong also heard the discussion. He smiled and signaled his secretary to bring the medal for Song Shiwei.
It was a golden medal and a certificate, and the most obvious thing was the big words written on it: "Comrade Song Shiwei won the Second Class Merit for His Bravery"!
Second class merit is awarded only for outstanding contributions to the country and the people.
Those who have made outstanding achievements and 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 influence can be awarded the first-class merit.
Ordinary people have never seen these things, and the contributions they make are usually just awarded a certificate of "Outstanding Advanced Individual" or "Heroic Act".
Song Shiwei actually won the second-class merit! what does that mean?
This means that "her" heroic deeds will be recorded in the local chronicles and recorded in history.
Moreover, the state has stipulated that the spouses and children of those who have performed heroic acts and have been awarded second-class merit or above, and those who have sacrificed their lives while performing heroic acts, shall enjoy priority treatment in employment, school enrollment, and other aspects.
In other words, with this second-class merit, Song Shiwei will have a good future not only for herself but also for her children!
This is truly a great event!
All of a sudden, the entire family compound was in an uproar.
"Oh my god! It's actually a second-class merit!"
"What did Song Shiwei do? He actually received the second-class merit? No wonder the secretary came here in person!"
"I heard from Sun Meimei that they encountered human traffickers when they were at the market. It was Song Shiwei who fought bravely with the gang leader and alerted the local militia, which led to the successful capture of 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 Garment Factory and got a cheap cotton coat! She's really amazing!"
Gu Changrong handed her the medal and certificate, as well as the bonus from above. It wasn't much, but it wasn't small either, two hundred yuan!
Two hundred yuan is indeed not a small amount of money for people of this era.
Gu Changrong smiled and said, "The higher-ups were originally discussing distributing some thermoses, 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 traffickers is an example for everyone to learn from. What's more, it was because of you that the militia was able to capture the traffickers at the market and rescue many children! The parents of those children even said they had to come over to thank you in person! If you didn't live in the military district's family compound, your door would have been trampled down by people! Hehehe!"
Song Shiwei also laughed.
At this time, Gu Changrong looked at Zhou Tingyue standing aside.
I saw that the young man in front of me was tall and handsome, with extraordinary bearing.
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 got to see you. I heard that you personally led the team to encircle and suppress Yushan this time?"
Zhou Tingyue smiled and shook hands with him, nodding and saying, "Leader, yes!"
Gu Changrong was very happy.
"Okay, okay, you two are really great. You two have made outstanding contributions to the country and the people!!"
Seeing him praising Zhou Tingyue, Commander Zhao also showed a smug look on his face: "Of course not, I brought this kid up by myself, I am really proud of him, and this time he made a thorough plan to encircle Yushan, there were almost no casualties, and he successfully captured eleven criminals and rescued a total of fifty-seven 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.
