Li Yueniang's mind was entirely focused on Su Changzhi's family, who had just returned.
After finishing her meal, Su Qingci said goodbye to Li Yueniang and then took Song Jingzhou to the Public Security Bureau.
Now that we're back, we still need to go there.
When Li Yueniang heard that Su Qingci was going back to submit a report, she asked, "Didn't you say you were going to do clerical work in the army? Why are you going abroad? It's so dangerous for a young girl like you. You even went overseas. Did your grandfather lose his mind? Why did he let you go with him?"
"As long as we have food and drink, we don't need to do things like others, risking our lives to strive for success. Grandma doesn't expect you to be successful; safety and happiness are the most important."
Li Yueniang lowered her voice and said, "Grandma has money. If you like, you can sit there and do your clerk job. If you don't like it, you can come back. Oh, promotion or not, it doesn't matter. If you run out of money, Grandma has it. Grandma earns over eighty a month. Besides, you have your grandpa, your dad, and your brother. And now there's Xiao Song. You don't need to take that risk..."
"A little girl should be happy, dressed up nicely, eating snacks and going shopping. We have so many men in our family, it's not like we don't have the means. Remember, if you want to do something, then do it. If you don't want to do something, don't do it no matter what anyone says. If you can't handle it, just leave and come home. Grandma will take care of you."
Su Qingci nodded, "Grandma, I understand."
Li Yueniang glanced at Su Changzhi's family, then solemnly patted Su Qingci's hand, "Grandma is very grateful to you for bringing Uncle's family back to Grandma."
Su Qingci grinned, "Grandma, what are you saying? You said it yourself, he's my uncle, my own uncle!"
"Alright, I'm going now. You keep your aunt and the others company. Jingzhou and I will come back to cook dinner when we're done. It's okay if you come back a little later."
Li Yueniang nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
As soon as the two left the alley, Song Jingzhou clung to them, saying, "You scared me to death! You said you were just going to act, but you almost didn't make it back. If you hadn't sent me any more news, I would have bought a ticket and headed south."
Su Qingci smiled at him, "I didn't expect it to be so dangerous, but I was lucky and gained a lot. This trip was worth it."
A cruise ship, a huge Ghana ship, and villas full of fruits and seafood, as well as huge sums of US dollars, gold bars and other wealth, not to mention the large cultural relics on the farm that upgrade the space, and the time it takes to upgrade the farm!
Even if she had to do it all over again, Su Qingci felt she would still choose to take on this mission.
Song Jingzhou thought Su Qingci's words were worthwhile, as it brought Su Changzhi's family back.
“I think you shouldn’t go back to the military camp this time. It’s full of backstabbing and infighting, and it’s really not suitable for you. How about we buy a job nearby, or you can just stay at home? My monthly salary and allowances are enough to live on.”
"Like Grandma said, you can do whatever you want, and if you don't want to do anything, just go home and lie down. I can support you."
Su Qingci nodded. "That's exactly what I was thinking."
"Let me tell you, this time I went out, I didn't just bring back my uncle, I also gained a lot myself."
Su Qingci mysteriously revealed a corner of her face to Song Jingzhou, "The money, I brought back a box of US dollars from those Russians' antiquities smuggling deal. I don't plan to hand it over, so you don't need to support me, and you don't need to feel pressured."
Song Jingzhou, with an air of righteous indignation, said, "What do you mean by handing it over? Isn't that a stipend the government gives you for your hard work?"
"Don't even mention that Wang Zhongren didn't know. Even if he did, he shouldn't have bothered with you. You've put yourself in such a dangerous situation, risking your life!"
"Of course, even if he wants it, we won't admit it."
The two looked at each other and laughed, "Hahahaha!"
When they arrived at the Kyoto headquarters, Wang Zhongren was already waiting inside.
Seeing that Su Qingci had arrived unharmed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Comrade Su, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
"By the way, this mission was a complete success, you deserve first-class merit. You missed the celebration banquet, but our bureau will send a letter of thanks, honorary badges, and banners to your direct battalion. We also thank Comrade Su for his contributions to society..."
Su Qingci's mind was wandering. She disliked this kind of scene the most. What did this talk of first-class merit mean to her? She was there for the cultural relics in the first place.
Sure enough, after speaking selflessly for a while, Wang Zhongren got down to business.
"Comrade Su, I wonder how you fared at sea... on that cruise ship..."
Su Qingci was energized and arrived.
"Captain Wang, you have no idea, I was almost scared to death."
"The battle was so fierce at the time, I only had one thought in my mind: I couldn't let those robbers who were damaging our country's interests get away. The book says that to catch the thief, you must first catch the king. At the time, I didn't consider any consequences. With a surge of enthusiasm and a willingness to die, I boarded that pirate ship."
"Who knows? I was almost there when you guys rammed into me in your boat. I was thrown out and knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I was in the middle of the ocean. I didn't know which way was which and I didn't know how to sail anymore. There were also a lot of dead people lying on the boat. It scared me half to death."
"I thought you would never abandon me. I waited and waited at sea, almost to the point of despair, but you didn't come. Instead, a storm came. That night was terrifying. I even picked up a few people from the sea. I was prepared to die for my country. Maybe it was the protection of Marxism-Leninism, but I never expected a wave to wash me ashore."
Wang Zhongren's lips twitched. After saying so much, he still hadn't said where the cruise ship had gone.
"Were you filmed being brought ashore while on a cruise ship?"
Su Qingci nodded innocently, "Yes, that old cruise ship was quite sturdy. Although the strong winds made several big holes in it, it didn't sink completely."
Wang Zhongren stated frankly, "I wonder where this cruise ship is now? In terms of all aspects, this cruise ship's configuration surpasses that of ordinary cruise ships in my country, and it has great research value."
Su Qingci slapped her thigh, "Oh dear, how could I forget about that? It's still in the waters off Tianjin. Although it's half-submerged, it can still be salvaged."
"Quickly, Captain Wang, call the Haiyan branch and tell them to salvage the boat."
Wang Zhongren looked doubtful. "At that time, the hull was already damaged and showed signs of sinking?"
Su Qingci nodded, "That's right. I was thinking that it might have already sunk before I even got to the Haiyan branch, so I didn't mention it. Since it has such great research value, you should hurry up and find someone to retrieve it. It's definitely still there. You know, it's such a big thing, it's not like money that you can just stuff into your pocket and it's mine. Even if I wanted to get it back, I wouldn't have the ability."
