Chapter 212 As reliable as his brother!
He is just a town chief and his authority is not enough.
Being able to keep it in his hands for three days is considered giving him a chance. If nothing can be done within three days, it will be transferred to the higher-level agency, which is the procedure.
Jiang Lianzhu asked again, "What will happen to the rescued refugee children? Is it true that none of their families can be found? Or will they also be sent to the county government office?"
Those refugee children are so pitiful. They have lost the protection of their families and suffered such harm and injustice. They are truly miserable little kids.
When I asked this question, even Nanbao raised her head and said in a baby voice, "There are a few refugee boys and girls who used to eat Nanbao's candy and played with her. The bad guys are so bad!"
Jiang Cheng also stopped eating and was concerned about these refugee children.
Wang Laowu replied,
"We were originally planning to send them all to the county government office today, but the car couldn't hold them, so we plan to send them in batches tomorrow."
Jiang Lianzhu thought about it and hummed, "I hope that the entire kidnapping gang can be apprehended and brought to justice as soon as possible to rid the people of this evil. It's truly outrageous. I also hope that these children can live well in the future. It would be best if the government could find a few capable families to adopt them so that they can grow up safely and happily."
Although her three cubs were not her biological children, if one of them was abducted, it would be like digging out her flesh.
There was no way she would allow this to happen.
Just imagine how a stepmother like her could be so protective of her child. After ten months of pregnancy, the child must be like her lifeblood.
How many people would go crazy if they were kidnapped.
How many families have been harmed.
Nanbao blinked her big eyes and said, "Mom, can't our family adopt? Our family..."
Dabao picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her bowl. "Eat meat, don't talk too much. It's not easy for mom and dad to raise all of us. And Xueda and the others want meat every meal. Food is expensive now. We're lucky to be able to survive. It would be better to let other families who can afford it adopt the baby."
Nanbao Heyan said, "Brother is right, Nanbao understands."
Erbao ate his meal silently. He no longer had the right to be a hero. The only thing he could do was to be honest and not cause trouble for his parents.
He also missed the opportunity to become the monitor of the human-shaped class.
The teacher praised him for his bravery and righteousness, but then assigned the position of squad leader to someone else. He is not a fool, so he is unreliable.
That’s why the Master didn’t believe him.
He must be a reliable person in the future, as reliable as his brother!
Jiang Cheng looked at Dabao with satisfaction. This child was considerate of adults and was a good person.
Then, Wang Laowu continued, "Tomorrow, the Chief Clerk wants to hold a celebration banquet. Our town has made a great contribution this time, and several wealthy families in the town have jointly funded it. We are inviting all the enthusiastic people who participated in catching the kidnappers. Our family has been invited, and we are the main guests. We have booked the entire restaurant across the street from ours. What do you think, wife?"
The whole nation participated in solving the case this time. The Chief Clerk’s people-friendly approach has been very effective and his reputation is excellent.
Jiang Lianzhu said, "Master Zhubo is so thoughtful, so we naturally have to go and show our support. By the way, can we bring our children and family along?"
Wang Laowu pondered for a moment, "The Lord Chief Clerk didn't say anything about this, but since my son is also involved, he should be able to go."
Jiang Lianzhu replied as a matter of course, "Then we don't have to cook at home tomorrow."
The three kids didn't say anything, whatever their mother said was fine.
Only Jiang Chengshi was still a little thin-skinned, blushing for them. The official's invitation to dinner was already a great honor, and her daughter actually wanted to bring her family along? This... this... she really didn't treat the official as an outsider.
Thinking carefully again, if she could go with him, wouldn't she also be a guest of honor to the official? In this life, she has never had a good day since she married Jiang Qingcai. She never expected that in her old age, she could live a life of food and drink without worries thanks to her daughter. Not only that, she could have such a glorious day and have a meal with the official!
This life is worth dying for.
She is not her biological daughter, but an adopted daughter. She is more filial and better than her biological daughter. She can be considered a blessed person in her old age.
It’s all thanks to my daughter.
Jiang Lianzhu then asked Dabao, "Did the Bai family cause trouble in your school again? How did it go?"
Dabao replied, "The teacher didn't even let them in. First, Bai was shouting and cursing at the school gate, and then the officials came and chased her away."
“Serves you right!”
***
The next morning, the officials sent several refugee children to the county town.
When passing by Jiang's Medical Clinic, several children stopped.
He knelt at the door of Jiang's Clinic and kowtowed to express his gratitude to Jiang Lianzhu's family.
The complexions of the refugee children looked much better than in the previous few days. They didn't talk much, but just kept kowtowed vigorously.
Jiang Lianzhu went out to help them up and gave each of them one or two taels of silver for travel expenses.
"Live well from now on! Each of you is unique, and you will definitely have a life that belongs to you in the future. Come on!" Life in troubled times is not easy, but those who have suffered have a strong belief that they can survive better than others.
The children were encouraged and their eyes became even more moist.
Although they were strangers they had never met before, their lives were saved unintentionally, and they were given silver after just a single encounter. This kind of fate and friendship will never be forgotten in their lives.
No thanks for the great favor.
Following behind the official, he looked back every few steps and waved to Jiang Lianzhu and little Nanbao.
Until it's out of sight.
It's as if I want to remember them deep in my mind, hoping that one day in the future I can repay their kindness.
…
By the evening, Wuhu Restaurant was very lively.
All the people in the town who were invited by the Chief Clerk gathered here, making the New Year celebrations even more lively and festive than usual.
On the one hand, they were happy to see the good and harmonious atmosphere created by the nationwide campaign to catch thieves, which had been eradicated in the town. On the other hand, it was the first time a government official had invited them to dinner, and they were all honored. They were all ordinary people and had rarely had the opportunity to dine with an official in their lives.
If I brag to my younger generations in the future, it will be enough for me to brag for the rest of my life that my grandfather was once honored by the officials and we had the honor of having meals and banquets with him.
Those townspeople who were not invited also came to watch the fun. Since they could not get in without an invitation, they just watched from the doorway. Some children were playing in the street and happily told others that their fathers were also on the invitation list and were having dinner with the official at the Wuhu Restaurant.
Jiang Lianzhu's family, a total of six people, young and old, were all present.
The Chief Clerk welcomed the family with a smile and explained to others that the Jiang Clinic was different. The members of the Jiang Clinic were all meritorious officials and had all been frightened, so they should calm down.
