Gu Zhengfeng also heard about his daughter and Song Zhi's cooperation in the yard.
"Boss, you have no idea how exciting it was. I never expected that just one sound could tell whether someone was a good guy or a bad guy."
Gu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Is that even a question? You guys have practiced before. Think about it, wouldn't you react the same way if you encountered a situation like this? So, no matter what you do, you need to use your brain more and pay attention to observation."
After Gu Zhengfeng said that, everyone thought about it and realized that it made perfect sense.
"Why didn't we think of that before?"
Even before Gu Zhengfeng could speak, Song Junqiang explained to everyone, "You all saw it, and some of you reacted the same way. I was just standing guard at the door, otherwise I would have rushed over too. Those two were overacting. It's just an injured arm, it doesn't have to be like this, supporting each other—"
Gu Zhengfeng gave his nephew an approving smile. "You observed very carefully. Keep it up. Alright, we've caught him. You can go back to your wards now."
Those patients wanted to chat with their boss more, so they all gathered together for a lively meal.
"Boss, we'll leave after we finish eating—"
Jiang Qiao took care of Gu Zhengfeng's meals. Today at noon, she made chicken stew with mushrooms for everyone. Of course, she added medicinal herbs, but it didn't affect the taste of the chicken. The staple food was steamed buns, the kind that you can eat as much as you want.
This time, Jiang Qiao gave Gu Zhengfeng fruit juice. "I ground it little by little with a stone mill last night. Try it and see."
There were only the father and son in the room. Jiang Qiao gave Gu Zhengfeng mango juice, which she also liked. Since she couldn't give him the whole thing, she could only treat her father to this.
Gu Zhengfeng took it and drank it all in one gulp, then sighed, "I don't want you to leave, girl. If you leave, I won't have this good stuff to drink anymore."
Jiang Qiao shrugged. "There's nothing I can do about that. How about I save you some juice?"
Gu Zhengfeng shook his head. "It's better not to. Having apples is already good enough. Leave some apples and dried fruit for your mother. Take back what you can from the warehouse. Leave me the grain, and don't leave anything there."
Jiang Qiao nodded, and was about to say something else when a large group of people walked in. Jiang Qiao quickly stood up to greet them. Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, it was the New Year, and everyone would love to hear New Year's greetings.
"Hey, Zhengfeng, this is your daughter. Little girl, I've heard so much about you. It's great to finally see her in person."
Although Jiang Qiao didn't know who the person was, judging from the other party's military rank, he was obviously a division commander.
"Uncle, please don't make fun of me. I'm just a little girl, what famous name could I possibly have? You're flattering me too much."
The army commander smiled and shook his head, looking her up and down. "Little girl, you're being modest. Let's not talk about anything else. Just about your father's surgery. I heard you were also arrested? Hehe, Jiang Qiao, you're quite capable. Yesterday, I heard it was that basin in your hand that gave the enemy agents away. Tell me, shouldn't you get a share of the credit?"
Jiang Qiao felt embarrassed. "Uncle, you're too kind. I was forced into this situation because I learned from my grandfather. Yesterday's incident was really a coincidence. I just slipped and dropped the basin."
"Those people were just unlucky to stumble upon our territory. Do you think we can fool them? They're seriously underestimating our soldiers, don't you think?"
Jiang Qiao didn't want to take the credit. She wanted Song Zhi to do it all. With such a credit, Song Zhi's life would be easier on their side.
The army commander patted Jiang Qiao on the shoulder with a smile. Although the girl in front of him was not particularly outstanding in appearance, he still remembered what his son had said. That's right, this Zhang Tianfang, the army commander, was Zhang Boda's biological father. At this moment, Jiang Qiao had no idea about this.
Zhang Tianfang was a clever man. Knowing that Jiang Qiao didn't want to say more, he didn't dwell on the topic and instead turned to comfort Gu Zhengfeng.
"Comrade Zhengfeng, you have done a great service this time."
After Gu Zhengfeng sat on the bed and saluted the army commander, he smiled and shook his head. "It's all thanks to everyone's joint efforts. Commander, please have a seat—"
After Jiang Qiao brought tea and fruit, she left. The army commander had brought gifts, and she needed to find a way to repay that favor.
However, following that, the family members of the compound and her father's soldiers all came to visit her one after another.
Wen Jingwan and Jiang Qiaoguang were exhausted from greeting people, let alone remembering each favor.
"What are we going to do? None of the families are well-off. How are we going to repay them? We can't just refuse to accept it."
Jiang Qiao glanced at Gu Zhengfeng, and the two of them smiled at each other. "Mom, we all live in this area. In the future, everyone will have big and small things to do. You and Dad can visit each other and things will naturally fall into place. There's no need to start worrying now. We can make up for it slowly in the future."
If you return it now, they might start to reconsider.
"Okay, okay, I'll try to spend more time with them in the future."
What Gu Zhengfeng was about to say surprised Jiang Qiao: "What? You're saying Uncle Qian is going to be transferred?"
Gu Zhengfeng smiled and nodded, "Yes, he's being transferred to the south. It's a promotion, though. Qiao'er, you and your mother should prepare some things these next few days. They definitely won't be able to adapt to life there so quickly. You don't need too much."
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "I would like to prepare more for them, but they can't take it with them. I'll think about it later. They shouldn't have moved out before I leave, right?"
Gu Zhengfeng nodded. "The division commander still needs to hand over his work, so it won't be that quick. Girl, I guess when you leave, your father won't be able to see you off in person."
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "As long as you're doing well and don't make me worry, that's fine. I'll stay with my grandpa. Mom, you stay with my dad first. I'll go get things ready."
She hasn't been back to that warehouse since she's leaving. Now that she's leaving, that place should be cleaned up.
However, once in the city, Jiang Qiao still took a stroll through the black market and secondhand market. The price of grain on the black market was only rising and never falling. The key point was that fine grains were no longer available on the black market, and even cornmeal was a rare commodity. There was a considerable demand for rice and wheat flour, after all, there were people with high wages in this era, and the supply simply could not meet the needs of these people with high wages or wealth.
Jiang Qiao didn't conduct her transactions with these people here at all; instead, she went elsewhere. This way, she could offer more and, of course, gain more. Besides money and jewelry, she also received antiques and calligraphy and paintings, not to mention the prizes.
Jiang Qiao had a great haul at the flea market today. She didn't know why, but she hadn't seen many good things before. Today, she found a real bargain. Not only that, she also inquired about what else the seller had at home, arranged a meeting place, and then delivered the goods.
