Chapter 97

Yan Lei needed to catch up with his family, so he asked Qiao Wei to inform Secretary Meng about this.

The military district would definitely inform Secretary Meng formally, but it would be better for Qiao Wei to inform him in advance.

After Qiao Wei arrived at the unit, she sent Yan Xiang to kindergarten and reported this to Secretary Meng.

Secretary Meng couldn't believe it.

What a coincidence, he also went to see the new movie that had just been released yesterday. He had just experienced anti-espionage propaganda yesterday, and today he was told by his subordinates that there was a spy under his command.

When he asked for the details, he found out that it was Yan Xiang who discovered it, which was even more incredible.

"This is really..." Secretary Meng sighed, "A tiger father will have a dog son."

Sure enough, in the morning, the head of the military district called and formally informed Secretary Meng.

Secretary Meng went there with the Standing Committee member who was also the head of the County Public Security Bureau, carrying a briefcase. Secretary Pan followed closely.

Secretary Huang was also an insider, chatting with Qiao Wei: "How old is your child? Is he five years old?"

"No. He is just tall, not even four years old." Qiao Wei said.

"One year older than my eldest." He praised, "So amazing."

All parents talk a lot when talking about their children.

Qiao Wei learned that Secretary Huang was about the same age as Yan Lei, but he already had three children. The youngest one had just turned one month old, and his wife was still on maternity leave. At that time, women had 56 days of maternity leave.

"She works in the steel pipe factory, and she is also in the propaganda department." He said, "She is good at drawing and is very good at drawing blackboards. She will go back to work after her maternity leave."

Qiao Wei asked about the children. The two older ones are in the county government's kindergarten.

He plans to let his wife put the newly born child in the steel pipe factory's nursery after his maternity leave.

The conditions of the county committee kindergarten are definitely better than other kindergartens. The children here can eat fruit in the afternoon. But the child is too young, and as a mother, she is worried and wants to keep him close so that she can see him at any time. When he grows up a little, he will be put with his father.

"My parents haven't retired yet, so they can't help us take care of the children. We are a working-class family with a good family background."

"She doesn't want to stay at home just to take care of the children. It's better for her to go to work and get a salary." Secretary Huang said, "I don't like her staying at home just to take care of the children either. Although she is not as good as you, she is also an excellent lesbian. She should shine in her job and should not be trapped by taking care of the children."

Qiao Wei had a good impression of Secretary Huang.

"Don't flatter me, you will come back and hit me." She laughed and said, "Nurserie and kindergarten are really great. With these institutions, there is no need to trap lesbians at home. Of course, lesbians at home bear a lot of labor and are also valuable. But this value is often not seen. The value of lesbians should be displayed like gay men, so that everyone can see it."

Qiao Wei actually wanted to say that since there are already three children, then don't let his wife have another one.

But she held back and held back the words. Because it was a bit beyond her boundaries. Moreover, at this time, the emphasis was on more people, more production, and more strength. Women were encouraged to have more children.

This was the mainstream thinking.

"You're right." Secretary Huang smiled, "My wife is fine and shouldn't be trapped at home. That's what I think."

At this time, he looked a bit like a common young man. He

was no longer the confidential secretary of the top leader who was so deep that no one could find fault with him or find any flaws.

Qiao Wei took the opportunity to tell him: "The No. 3 bus is open. I think I can take the bus to and from work after it is open. Then I can get off work at the same time as everyone else."

Secretary Huang understood what she meant and nodded: "Okay, you can get off work at 3:30 today."

Qiao Wei just wanted to remind Secretary Huang that she could get off work at 3:30 today. It's good for him to know.

The top leader will not manage the details in the office. The Standing Committee member who is also the director of the office is just a nominal position. The actual affairs of the office are managed by Secretary Huang. Such details must be communicated to him.

While Secretary Meng has not returned yet, Qiao Wei wrote down the incident of the spy in advance.

After Secretary Meng came back, he called Secretary Huang and Qiao Wei to his office and lamented to them: "Alas, such a great achievement was taken away by the military district."

"That can't be helped." Qiao Wei smiled and said, "The child told his father directly, I can't do anything."

Secretary Meng laughed and said, "Your child must be rewarded well."

Although the credit was not taken, if the spies really passed on some useful information, it would be traced back in the future. During his term of office and under his jurisdiction, this fault must be borne by him.

Fortunately, it was discovered now.

No fault means merit.

"It's still under review, and we're checking for any leaks. Many military dependents have had contact with him, so they all have to be checked." Secretary Meng said, "I also saw your wife. He's definitely going to get the third-class merit. He

was lying at home doing well,

and suddenly he got the third-class merit. Although he's already a war hero, who would complain about having too many medals?

What a blessing.

"Qiao Wei, there's no need to talk about the manuscript this time, you'll definitely be the one writing it." Secretary Meng said, "This matter will be finalized in a few days, so inform the city newspaper in advance and publish it as soon as the verdict comes out."

When the task fell, Qiao Wei said, "Okay. ”

The draft has been prepared.

Qiao Wei took advantage of the fact that the bus was not yet in operation and enjoyed the treatment of getting off work at 3:30.

She went to the kindergarten to pick up Yan Xiang, but a teacher came out and said embarrassedly: "He hasn't finished telling the story yet. How about waiting a moment?"

Qiao Wei: "?"

Yan Xiang has been with Qiao Wei in the county for half a month.

Every time, every time Qiao Wei asked him what he did in the kindergarten, he usually answered "playing games and telling stories."

Until today, because she got off work at 3:30 and came early, Qiao Wei realized that the "telling stories" in Yan Xiang's mouth was not the teacher telling him stories, but Yan Xiang telling stories to the children!

Qiao Wei: "??? "

"Oh, you don't know, we thought Yan Xiang would tell you." The teacher smiled and covered his mouth, "Come on, I'll take you to see. Qiao Wei

saw with her own eyes that her son vividly told the children the stories he had heard from his mother. His articulation was clear and his retelling was accurate.

The children were fascinated by his words.

"He can also play games with the children." The teacher said, "He knows so many things, such as pretending to dig trenches, setting up bunkers... What to do if an atomic bomb comes... The children love to play with him and listen to him."

So every day when she sent Yan Xiang to the kindergarten, the teachers' smiles were so sincere.

Qiao Wei thought it was because she bought snacks for the teachers. Well, there must be some reason for this, but Yan Xiang really saved the teachers a lot of effort.

The children sat in a row and listened to him tell stories, and the teachers just had to take a break.

He also knew how to manage people, asking the children to count and stand in military posture. He trained the children just like his father trained him. He

was like a kindergarten assistant teacher.

The teachers loved him.

"You're really good." Qiao Wei rode her bicycle quickly in the autumn wind, "Why didn't you tell mom?"

Yan Xiang sat in the back seat, very innocent: "I told you every time - play games, tell stories."

Qiao Wei: "..."

If you insist, it seems that...

Qiao Wei returned to the town earlier than usual, and the town committee had not yet gone off work.

She went directly to the town committee to find Secretary Gao.

"Hey, Qiao Wei!" Secretary Gao was very happy to see her, "I heard that you have already gone to the county committee office?"

Director Fang also came over to greet.

Their attitudes were all subtly different from before.

Qiao Wei didn't have a deep understanding when she was in the county committee, because it was the first time she dealt with many people in the county committee, and there was no comparison.

But once she came back to the town and met her old friends again, this subtle change in attitude became apparent.

She had only gone to the county party committee office, the big room outside Secretary Meng's door, but her old leaders' attitude towards her was different.

Qiao Wei asked, "When will you bring me back?"

Secretary Gao said angrily, "Look at you, why are you in such a hurry? It's all work wherever you are, just work hard."

Director Fang also said, "We've read your articles, and they're getting better and better." He also

asked her why she came today.

Qiao Wei said, "The bus will be available tomorrow, let me see if we have any preparations."

She took out a piece of paper and gave it to them: "One is Master Song, and the other is Master Wang. They will take turns. I hope this bus can be on time in the future. If this bus can be on time, it will be very convenient for everyone to go to the county, and we can save time. No need to waste time waiting at the station."

"Whether it is on time depends on the driver, so I wonder if our town should express its gratitude to the master?"

Secretary Gao and Director Fang pondered for a moment and said, "That makes sense."

They didn't expect that it was because they were born and worked in the town, and they didn't have this daily need.

But punctuality is very important for the town workers who have to travel between the town and the factory area, and Qiao Wei who travels between the town and the county.

Qiao Wei has to give it a push.

"Okay, leave it to us. Don't worry." Secretary Meng agreed, "Director Fang, look, now, before you get off work, hurry up and make arrangements."

Director Fang left.

Qiao Wei actually wanted to mention the tailoring.

But she realized that Secretary Gao didn't take the initiative to mention it, and it was likely that he didn't know

yet. It's still being investigated. What if someone from the town committee is involved? Qiao Wei closed her mouth and didn't mention it.

When she got home, Yan Lei was already at home.

The investigation was not useless. A military family member of a battalion commander leaked the secret.

Most family members are not very interested in guns and cannons, but this military family member is different. Before she joined the army, she was a female militia, and an excellent militia. She can handle both guns and homemade cannons, and is a master of ten rings in shooting.

To be honest, she is a heroine.

It was just her, because she was interested, she would often ask about the army.

Her husband felt that he and his wife had a common language, and sometimes he would take the initiative to talk to her.

"A new batch of tanks has arrived."

"This time the guns are really upgraded."

And so on.

When she went to tailor clothes, the old tailor led her to talk about the new tanks.

Of course, she also had a bit of a show-off mentality.

She didn't think that the military region's arrival of a batch of new tanks should be a secret to the common people.

But the old tailor was from the other side of the strait.

During the interrogation, she and her husband's faces turned pale.

"How to deal with it?" Qiao Wei asked.

"Discharge them." Yan Lei said. It

's not even a transfer, but a direct discharge.

Qiao Wei sighed: "Fortunately, I never asked about the army."

Yan Lei smiled and said: "Everyone praises you and Xiangxiang."

Qiao Wei, a soldier, is now a legendary figure in the military.

From the town to the pen holder in the county.

She actually reported another spy.

Captain Yan's wife is amazing.

In fact, it can be said that it is all Yan Xiang's credit, but everyone still thinks it is the credit of adults.

Because they think that many adults will not take it seriously if the children say it casually. Maybe they will go to the old tailor and say "It's so funny that my child said you are a spy. You are not really a spy, are you?"

Qiao Wei sighed: "So publicity is really useful."

If Yan Xiang hadn't happened to watch that movie, how could she realize that the old tailor was a spy. This is all the power of publicity.

Yan Lei said: "Don't worry about it, I've brought back the milk. Do you drink it directly or what?"

"Heat it up and add some sugar."

"Xiang Xiang - come on, drink milk!"

"Here you go~ Mom, is the milk delicious?"

"You'll know in a moment."
