The commendation meeting was held quietly.
A proposal that was heard by only two people but witnessed by countless people was only lightly engraved in the hearts of the two young people.
Xinqiao was awarded the third-class merit, but after returning to school, all her classmates asked her only one question, "When can we eat wedding candy?" Zhao Xinqiao's face turned red. She could only use her busy studies as an excuse and hide in the dormitory to study every day.
Let’s talk about marriage later.
This was also the answer Zhao Xinqiao gave to Bai Song when Bai Song asked her about this question when they met later.
How old were you? At that time, it was indeed... well, it seemed... maybe he nodded, but it would take a few more years before they really got married...
Hmm... Year of the Monkey and Horse.
But Bai Song took it seriously.
Year of the Monkey, lunar year 2016, month of the Horse, June 5 to July 7 in the Gregorian calendar, month of Jiawu, from Grain in Ear to Lesser Heat.
The next Monkey Year and Horse Month will be from May 24 to June 22, 2028.
Bai Song calculated that there were only two years left until the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Horse.
Oh...Xinqiao is so direct, it seems like I'm not ready yet, what should I do...
…
A lot of interesting things happened in 2013, both big and small.
A lot of things happened during this year, and 2014 came quietly. In the new year, well, there should be more interesting stories.
As expected, my father was awarded the honorary title of National Public Security System Second Class Hero Model. In addition, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Public Security awarded Bai Yulong the title of National Special Excellent People's Policeman in recognition of his nearly 30 years of hard work in the public security system.
After the Chinese New Year, Bai Song took some time to go back home in February. He was shocked to see red posters of his father posted at the police station at the train station.
This time, Bai Song didn't have a car to go home, so he took the train. Feng Yiling's case has just entered the review and prosecution stage because it involves too many cases. Although Bai Song has also filed a civil lawsuit, it may take several months for him to get back the money he lost in the car according to the regulations.
The punishment imposed on Bai Yulong had long been cancelled. Although he could not be reinstated immediately, the treatment and allowances he had lost before were compensated. Over the years, the total amount was not a small sum.
In terms of treatment, Bai Yulong can already enjoy the treatment of a deputy division-level official, and also receives a national government subsidy for being a top-notch outstanding people's policeman. He has been spending a lot of time with his old friends during this period.
Some of the brothers who worked with Bai Yulong at that time have already retired. But after hearing about this, they were all very excited. This is a bit like redressing a wrong, but not entirely. For Bai Yulong, at this age, his merits and demerits will be judged by others.
Some old leaders also hoped that Bai Yulong would return to the Criminal Police Brigade, but Bai Yulong did not agree for the time being.
Police officers aged 50 are generally not suitable for the work of the criminal police team. Criminal police are not as busy as police stations, nor do they encounter complicated police situations every time they are on duty. However, sometimes they have to work for a long time when a case comes. In addition, they often have to travel and make arrests across provinces. Fifty is basically the age limit for changing jobs.
If Bai Song had not become a policeman, Bai Yulong might have wanted to go to the Criminal Police Brigade and shine for a few more years, but his son has grown up, so he decided not to go, so as to save his wife and children from worrying about him.
When it comes to passing on the family line, people in Shandong province have a high sense of identity with inheritance.
"Come on, I have to take you to see someone today." Father Bai was very happy to see his son come back, and he took Bai Song out immediately.
Bai Song must listen to his parents when he returns home. Although his father doesn't seem to be reliable, he looks so good, as if he is seven or eight years younger. Bai Song still doesn't want to spoil his father's mood.
Bai Yulong took two bottles of locally brewed grain wine and went out with Bai Song.
There are no nationally famous liquors in Shandong Province, but there are nationally famous brands of beer and red wine.
There is a saying that Shandong Province consumes so much alcohol that local liquor rarely leaves the province.
Of course, the most crucial reason is still the brewing technology, koji and so on, but it is true that every city and county has its own winery.
Bai Song didn't ask many questions along the way. It had been a long time since he had ridden in his father's car.
As a child, it is a great happiness to see our parents healthy and energetic.
The car turned many turns and arrived at the suburbs. Bai Song knew where they were going, the Martyrs' Cemetery.
Bai Song immediately knew who his father wanted to meet.
Bai Yulong's master.
"Have you visited your Master Yu during this period?" Bai Yulong led Bai Song up the stairs.
"I've been busy and haven't been there." Bai Song said somewhat ashamedly.
"We have a custom here called 'sending lanterns'. Every year during the Lantern Festival, we send candles or something like that to our deceased elders and relatives. Even though the Lantern Festival has passed when you go back this time, you should still go and see them and bring a bouquet of flowers." Bai Yulong taught his son.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. This will be the first thing I do after returning to Tianhua City." Bai Song nodded heavily and followed his father to a simple tombstone.
Bai Song knew this person, Zhang Dianjun, his father's enlightenment teacher. More than ten years ago, he was passing by a kindergarten. While trying to protect several children, he was hit by an out-of-control car and died. He was 53 years old.
Although he did not die in his beloved job as a criminal policeman, he still dedicated his life to the greatest cause.
Today is February 14, 2014, Friday, the Lantern Festival. There are still not many people in the cemetery, but you can still see a few people here and there.
Bai Yulong arrived at Zhang Dianjun's tomb and bowed quietly, and Bai Song also bowed.
Open flames were now prohibited, so Bai Yulong placed a few candles in front of the stele, sprinkled a little wine on it, and left the rest there without moving.
Bai Song listened quietly as his father slowly told his story to the tombstone.
Zhang Dianjun died after Bai Yulong left the criminal police force. He paid a lot to protect his apprentice. If he knew what happened today, he would definitely be the most relieved one.
Bai Song rarely saw this side of his father. He listened silently to his father telling the story of Zhang Dianjun and his own story. Time passed quickly.
As they were talking, a few young men and women around seventeen or eighteen years old came slowly towards them, chatting.
