The next morning, a jeep came outside the family compound. It was obviously from the military district and drove all the way into the family compound before stopping.
At this time in the morning, there are quite a few people in the family compound. Everyone gets up early. Some families with children want to send their children to school, some get up early to buy groceries, and some people come out early to take up space to dry quilts and clothes. It can be said to be the busiest time of the day.
At this moment, a vehicle that was obviously a military vehicle suddenly drove into the compound, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the compound.
"Oh, is this a military car? Why is it driving to the compound instead of the army?" In the yard, a military wife saw this and went to find someone she knew to eat melon.
Who wouldn’t be curious if this car suddenly drove in?
"Who knows? Was it to send someone here?" Another person also shook his head, staring at the stopped jeep.
There were many curious people like this in the yard. Even the military wives who were sending their children to school couldn't help but slow down and stare.
Two young soldiers got out of the stopped jeep and immediately went to the back of the car to get something.
One little soldier was holding a rolled-up banner and a box, while another little soldier was taking out some daily supplies.
"Hey? Is that a silk banner? I've seen it before. Whose family has made a contribution?" A military wife was sharp-eyed and saw the bright red silk banner at a glance.
"Even if someone's husband has made a contribution, he should be in the army. Why would he be sent to the family compound?" Other military wives who knew a little more also refuted.
But what everyone can be sure of from the banner held by the young soldier is that the man in his family probably made a great contribution. Not only did he receive the banner and medal, but he also brought daily supplies. It can be said to be a very grand event!
The two young soldiers carried their things and walked to the building where Li Xin lived. They confirmed the location before walking in.
The wives of the soldiers in the compound were all looking eagerly at which house the two of them would go to.
There was another soldier in the jeep, who was the driver, and he did not go upstairs with the two young soldiers.
He also got out of the jeep and was leaning against the door to rest.
"Young comrade, can I ask, whose man has made such a great contribution? Why did he come here with such fanfare to present a banner?" An older military wife came forward and spoke to the soldier who had not gone upstairs.
"Man? No, no, no, this time it's not a man, it's a woman. It's Deputy Regiment Commander He's wife. She did a big thing, and she was awarded the third-class merit!" The soldier next to the car door said with envy.
The third-class merit is not easy for even them to obtain, but He Beichen's wife can get it. How can they not be envious?
However, capturing enemy spies, discovering landmines, saving the troops from possible casualties, and inventing the mini detector, all these things added up, deserve a third-class merit!
Although according to the original regulations, Li Xin was not considered a member of the army, but just a family member, he could not receive the third-class merit.
But now that she is going to join the research institute, she can be considered a member of the army. After much effort, He Yubo finally got the third-class merit for Li Xin.
Originally, there were only medals and banners. The daily supplies were all prepared by He Yubo himself and sent over.
"Oh, what's the big deal? He actually won the third-class merit?" The military wife who asked the question was also surprised and asked curiously.
"We found the enemy's spies and the mines they buried. It was a great help." The soldier said directly without hiding anything.
The enemy spies have been caught, so there is no need to conceal this matter.
The military wife was shocked. Seeing that the two young soldiers who delivered the things had already gone to the fifth floor, she still couldn't digest the news she had just heard.
"Why are they going to the fifth floor? It looks like they are going to Li Xin's house." Wang Cuixiang looked at them and shouted loudly in an unhappy tone.
Her husband Ding Cheng was jealous of He Beichen's good family background and fast promotion. She had also suffered at the hands of Li Xin. When she saw that the banner was actually sent to Li Xin's family, a sour taste suddenly welled up in her mouth.
"Deputy Regimental Commander He is very capable, so it's normal for him to have made meritorious service, right?" A military wife nearby heard Wang Cuixiang's words and subconsciously refuted her.
Wang Cuixiang's questioning tone just now made people feel very uncomfortable.
"If it was Deputy Regimental Commander He, it wouldn't be so surprising." Even other military wives agreed.
In fact, most of the soldiers in the army admire He Beichen very much, including their families.
There are very few people like Wang Cuixiang who harbor malicious intent. Most people watching at this moment are envious, and there are very few people like her whose faces are filled with jealousy.
"What's so good about it..." Wang Cuixiang hummed in dissatisfaction beside her, her tone almost overflowing with jealousy.
"It's not Deputy Colonel He, but his wife. It is said that she discovered an enemy spy and came here specially to commend him." The old military wife who had heard the news from the soldiers before said to them after hearing it.
What?
The person who made the contribution is Li Xin?
Wang Cuixiang was stunned, and looked at the old military wife who was speaking with almost dull eyes, her face full of disbelief.
"How is it possible? She's just a woman, how could she possibly do that?" Wang Cuixiang was the first to exclaim, with a questioning tone in her voice.
She was already very unhappy when she found out it was He Beichen. Now that she knew it was Li Xin, Wang Cuixiang felt like she had turned into a lemon tree.
This banner can be given to anyone, but not to Li Xin!
"Why can't a woman do that? You are a woman yourself." The old military wife glanced at Wang Cuixiang and spoke directly to her.
We are all women, and we have produced a hero. Shouldn’t we feel proud?
But Wang Cuixiang's words made the old military wife feel displeased with her.
Wang Cuixiang: “…”
She felt a lump in her heart and wanted to refute, but looking at the old military wife, she didn't dare to go too far. After all, the position of the man in the old military wife's family must not be too low, and Wang Cuixiang didn't dare to offend him easily.
"Anyone will do, but Li Xin isn't suitable!" Wang Cuixiang gritted her teeth.
She couldn't stand Li Xin. The thought that she had actually made meritorious service and been commended by the military district was more unpleasant than eating shit!
Wang Cuixiang's voice was not loud, but some people around heard it and moved away, unwilling to get too close to such a person.
…
Upstairs, the two little soldiers found the house and knocked on the door.
Li Xin had just gotten up and walked out of the room when he heard a knock on the door. Puzzled, he walked over to open the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw two little soldiers carrying things standing at the door.
"You are..."
"Comrade Li Xin, in recognition of your great contribution in capturing enemy spies and saving the troops from heavy losses, you are awarded the third-class merit." The young soldier spoke excitedly when he saw her open the door.
A silk banner was handed over, and in the box was a third-class military medal, which was stuffed into the hands of Li Xin, who was still in a daze.
