Ning Xiyue finished writing the letter in the study, then found a ball of gray wool to match the defective gray sweater for Comrade Ji that she had snatched from a department store in Shanghai.
I sat there knitting a scarf without paying attention to the time until I finished the scarf to be sent to Comrade Ji, then I left the space and returned to the house.
It didn't take long to go out, wrap the package I received and put it into the backpack.
Ning Xiyue took the letter and scarf, put on the backpack, locked the door, left here again, returned to the post office, and sent the letter and scarf out again.
This time he really left the post office, but did not leave the town. Instead, he went to the courtyard where he met Comrade Li to hand over the medicine.
Comrade Li had been waiting inside for a long time.
Ning Xiyue first gave the bone-setting and tendon-healing powder she had recently made to Comrade Li.
Comrade Li took the thing and put it in his pocket without even looking at it, and started to do another important thing that he had to do today.
He picked up two awards for bravery and two envelopes of money from the desk and handed them to Ning Xiyue: "Comrade Ning, these are certificates for you and your second brother, and a bonus of 300 yuan each. Please count them first and make sure the amount is correct before keeping them."
Ning Xiyue took the item and looked at him inquiringly: "What is this prize? Is it the human trafficker from last time? How is the situation?"
While looking at Comrade Li and waiting for his answer, he opened the envelope, took out the money inside and counted it in front of Comrade Li.
There were indeed three hundred yuan and thirty big unity notes in each envelope, no mistake.
Comrade Li looked away and answered Ning Xiyue's question only after seeing her confirm the amount.
"It's the reward from last time. This operation to capture the human traffickers was completed successfully and went extremely smoothly. We arrested over fifty people and rescued countless children and women. We were able to quickly solve this major case and crack down on criminal activities in such a short period of time. You and your second brother Ning Qingyuan's discovery and reporting played an indispensable role."
The more than 50 people arrested were only human traffickers, and did not include foreign forces. Those people were not under their jurisdiction and had been taken over by special forces.
Comrade Li did not tell Ning Xiyue about this news, and only told her the part that he could.
He spoke clearly with a smile on his face. Then he changed the subject and looked at Ning Xiyue with an apologetic look and said:
"However, in order to protect your personal safety, I cannot express my gratitude publicly. I can only present you with a certificate and bonus privately as a token of my gratitude. I hope you don't mind."
"No, no, it's all for our own good, why would we mind? We won't cause any trouble for the country. We feel extremely honored to be recognized by the organization and to contribute our own strength to the country and its people."
Ning Xiyue shook her head and waved her hands repeatedly, accepting the reward and said with great trepidation:
"Receiving these two awards is a pleasant surprise for us. I can't express my gratitude enough. Thank you so much, thank you for the organization's trust. I will accept this award on behalf of my brother."
How could she and her second brother mind? They would just be so happy. Just by feeling the thickness, they knew the amount of the bonus was very substantial. They could get the money and certificate by hiding behind the scenes, and they could also protect their own safety. So what if no one knew about it? They got what they deserved. The open praise was meaningless to her now.
People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat.
It would be a disaster if we really had that reputation. Moreover, the criminal organization we are targeting this time has many members and is complex, and it also involves te affairs. It is right not to publicize it.
Ning Xiyue touched the envelope in her hand and said: As long as I can get the money, nothing else matters.
After the formalities were said, both sides spoke less formally and more casually, like old friends.
Ning Xiyue was still concerned about the children, so she asked, "Comrade Li, how are those children? Have they found their homes?"
"The children are being temporarily gathered in one place. All cities, counties, and districts have been notified, and parents are gradually coming to claim them. I believe it won't be long before the children find their families. Those who can't be found will be sent to welfare homes. Women who don't want to go back will also be sent to welfare homes to help take care of their children."
Comrade Li first talked about the situation of all the women and children, knowing that Ning Xiyue most wanted to know the situation of the group of children she had rescued.
He paused and continued, "The first group of children were the ones who had been gone the shortest, so it was easy for them to find their families. Currently, all the children in that group have found their families."
"How is the seriously injured child? Are his hands and feet feeling better? I've always wanted to go see him." Ning Xiyue really wanted to know the child's recent situation, but she couldn't go to the hospital to see the child without the permission of the armed forces.
"The child's broken limbs were not treated for a long time, so treatment is very difficult. He was also locked up there for over a month, and he has developed psychological problems. It's a bit difficult to deal with."
Comrade Li shook his head regretfully. "If you want to see him, I can take you, but you have to go today. His family will transfer him to a hospital in a big city for treatment tomorrow, so you won't be able to see him even if you want to."
"Comrade Li, the medicine I'm giving you today is for bone and tendon healing. Perhaps it will be of some help to this child. I'll give you a sample of the finished product first."
Ning Xiyue took out an oil-paper bag from her bag, which contained a large portion of bone-setting and tendon-repairing powder and handed it to Comrade Li.
"I'll give you this medicine first. I also know a little bit of acupuncture. Take me to the scene to check on the child's condition. If the situation is promising, using the two together might give the child some hope of restoring his hands and feet to normal, or at least making him feel better than he is now."
"Really?" Comrade Li stared at Ning Xiyue with joy.
The elders in that child's family have some connection with his own family. The older generation was once comrades-in-arms, and when he was a child, he followed the child's father and played with them.
He was still very concerned about the child's situation. When he told the story just now, he had briefly wondered if Comrade Ning had any solution. Now that he heard there was hope, he was overjoyed, but he still couldn't believe it and asked again to confirm.
Ning Xiyue nodded affirmatively, indicating that she was not wrong and what she just said was true.
"That's great, Comrade Ning, are you free? Let's go now." Comrade Li asked excitedly, looking forward to Ning Xiyue's answer, and couldn't wait to take people away now.
Ning Xiyue saw his eagerness. She was also thinking of going to take a look. Since she was already in town today, she might as well go there. It was rare that he still kept this matter in mind later.
She nodded decisively: "If you're free, let's go now so I can go early and come back early."
"Come on, I'll take you there."
Comrade Li didn't say much, but stood up and took her to the car.
On the way, Comrade Li and Ning Xiyue were chatting about the child: "Comrade Ning, to be honest, that child has a great background."
