Chapter 293 Reward
Chapter 293 Reward
After finishing his explanation, Sun Changgui asked them to leave.
After leaving the office, Secretary Xu took the team leader aside and started talking in private.
"Lao Zhang, you said that a military comrade said that someone in our production team discovered something unusual about the fake Li Jie and notified the troops. Who is he talking about?"
“I suspect it’s Xiaoxue.
After all, she is the only one in our production team who can contact the troops.
Moreover, she has been in the army for several years and is very sensitive to enemy agents, so she has this awareness." The captain whispered.
Secretary Xu nodded, "I think it's her, too.
How about we go find those two comrades to confirm it?"
The captain shook his head, "No.
We don’t know if the fake Li Jie has any accomplices who have not been caught. If the news gets out, it will cause trouble for Xiaoxue.
I think the military comrade didn't say anything to protect Xiaoxue.
We just need to know it in our hearts, there is no need to confirm it.”
"Fortunately, she discovered the abnormality of the fake Li Jie. Otherwise, according to what the two comrades said just now, our country would have suffered a great loss." Secretary Xu thankfully said.
The captain said thoughtfully, "Old Xu, don't you think we are treating the educated youth too well?
The soldier comrade just said that Li Jie took advantage of the time when he was not at work to secretly carry out his ulterior motives.
The educated youth in our production team were forced to work during the autumn harvest. They could go to work if they wanted to, and not go if they didn't want to. This provided a lot of convenience for the enemy spies who were mixed in with the educated youth.
As for the fake Li Jie, I remember that he never worked except during the autumn harvest."
“I think so too.
Fortunately, the military comrades didn't say anything just now, otherwise we would not be able to escape the punishment from above." Secretary Xu said with lingering fear.
In fact, it’s not that Sun Changgui and the others don’t want to say it, it’s mainly because Liu Jingxue is also an educated youth from the Red Star Production Team.
They were worried that if they said that, the production team would force the educated youth to go to the fields every day, which would harm Liu Jingxue.
In order to avoid repaying kindness with enmity, they had no choice but to keep the matter secret.
However, when they were investigating Li Jie, they also investigated all the educated youth in the educated youth site and confirmed that there were no other enemy agents or spies among them.
Otherwise, even if they were repaying kindness with enmity, they would still ask the team leader and others to strengthen the supervision of the educated youth.
"Let's go back and study how to get them to participate more in labor without causing a backlash, so that they have less time for unnecessary things.
This time, Xiaoxue held him for them. If there is another Li Jie, we will never be able to clear ourselves of guilt even if we jump into the Yellow River." The captain said fearfully.
"I think it's okay. Let's have a meeting to discuss it when we get back."
The team leader and Secretary Xu were still whispering there, but they were called over by Secretary Yan and the leader of the Youth League Office to discuss the procedures for the fake Li Jie to return to the city.
After Sun Changgui and Song Lingfeng reported the matter of Li Jie to Secretary Yan and the team leader, they came to Liu Jingxue again.
In order to avoid being seen, they took a detour from the mountain and went down the mountain near Liu Jingxue's home.
Liu Jingxue was surprised when Tuanzi informed her of their visit, after all, Dapeng had returned to the team a few days ago.
After coming out of the space and making all the arrangements, Liu Jingxue welcomed them in and served them tea. She then asked curiously, "Why are you two here?"
Sun Changgui replied, "Our mission regarding Li Jie has been completed. The subsequent matters will be taken over by our comrades here. We are going back now.
I came here today to give you a reward according to the instructions above.
Besides, you provided us with so many good medicines, we can’t take them for free, so I’ll give you the money to pay for the medicines.”
Liu Jingxue waved her hands quickly, "No need for rewards.
I didn't do anything, I just provided some information. You guys did everything, I don't have the face to take any reward.
If there is any reward from above, it should be given to you.”
“As for the money for medicine, that’s even less necessary.
They are all made from herbs collected from the mountains. It is not my duty to give them to you, so why should I pay for them?"
Song Lingfeng advised, “Rewards are a must.
If you hadn't reported it, our country's wealth would have been lost overseas in vain.
There are also some arrangements made by those people in the country that we will not discover, and we don’t know how much harm they will cause to our country in the future.
As for us, when we return, our superiors will naturally reward us according to our merits, so Comrade Liu does not need to worry.
Let’s be honest, there is no reason for you to give us your reward.”
"Yes, Comrade Liu, just keep the reward this time.
The harvest this time is really huge. The reward given to you is not even a drop in the bucket. Please don't refuse it."
Liu Jingxue was a little curious. What on earth was it that Li Jie had spent more than two years looking for that made these two people so emotional?
"Can you please tell me what Li Jie is looking for?
If it doesn’t work, forget it, just pretend I didn’t ask.”
The two looked at each other, and Sun Changgui said, "If it were someone else, I would not reveal it, but for you, there is naturally nothing to hide.
What Li Jie was looking for was the treasure that the Japanese had not had time to transport away from us when they retreated.
Not all of it, of course, but just some of it.”
Song Lingfeng continued, "But even if it's just a part of it, there are more than 100 boxes of gold alone, and there are also many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and jewelry, all of which are of high value.
So Comrade Liu, just accept the reward, otherwise we will have a hard time explaining it when we return.”
After hearing what they said, Liu Jingxue nodded and said, "I'll take the reward, but you don't have to pay for the medicine."
"Comrade Liu, you know our rules. If you don't accept the money for the medicine, we will be violating discipline.
Because I just arrived and the funds are a bit insufficient, I can only send you the money first.
Now we have to go back. If I don't make it up to you, it would be a deliberate violation."
"I am also the son of a soldier, so we are a family, not just strangers. It is not considered a violation of discipline for family members."
"Even if you are a soldier's son, we can't take your things for free. If this gets out, it will bring discredit to our army.
Comrade Liu, please accept it.
Your medicine is so effective, and we don’t know its exact value. We value it based on the drugs on the market, so we’re already getting a bargain.
If you don’t accept the money, we can’t talk about our future plans anymore.”
"Yes, Liu Zhiqing, your medicine is so good, we would like to order more from you.
If you don’t accept the money, we won’t be able to ask for anything.”
Seeing them say that, Liu Jingxue had no choice but to accept it, "Okay then, I'll take it.
But if you want to order more medicine, you'll have to wait.
You know it's been snowing here for a few months, and I've run out of herbs in stock. I have to go into the mountains to collect herbs before I can make medicine."
Monkey and Stone stayed at home for a few days. There were only two rooms in the house, the cellar and the woodshed. They had been there and knew exactly whether there were any herbs stored.
Liu Jingxue would naturally not be stupid and said that she still had a lot of medicine.
"We know this, of course. We just want to buy more medicine from you later."
"Leave me your address, and I'll make the medicine and send it to you later."
Sun Changgui and Song Lingfeng did not stay here for long. After all, they had a lot to do.
After walking out of Liu Jingxue's yard, Sun Changgui glanced towards the cowshed.
We learned from the three monkeys that those people lived there.
He glanced at Song Lingfeng beside him, but still didn't say anything.
The leaders don't want to be disturbed, so it's better not to let too many people know that they are here.
I will keep their kindness in my heart and look forward to it if I have the chance in the future.
