Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 67 Reward obtained
Bai Jing didn't receive any news from Luo Jie; instead, she was taken to the police station by Captain Lin.

"Captain Lin, just say what you need to say, don't pull this stunt, I'm scared." Bai Jing bumped into Captain Lin at the hospital entrance. She was just going up to say hello as usual, but she didn't expect him to take her directly to the police station.

He remained silent the entire way; how could she not be afraid?

Team Leader Lin gave her a deep look. The last operation to capture Li Yunshan had led to a case, and he couldn't explain too much to her.

But her contribution was significant.

"Don't be afraid. We just asked you to come over because the reward from above has come down. We just want you to come and collect it." The leader said that we should avoid disturbing them if possible.

He could only tell her what he could tell her.

"So fast!" Bai Jing was very happy, after all, she also wanted to know what reward she would receive from above.

“Special cases require special handling. The deputy director is here today, so come with me to see him.” Team Leader Lin led Bai Jing to the deputy director’s office.

The deputy director had originally instructed him to inform Comrade Bai Jing about this matter.

"Sure." There's a reward to be won, and I can meet with anyone.

Soon, with Aunt Zhou's smile, the two went to the deputy director's office.

"Sir, I've brought Comrade Bai over." Upon entering, Team Leader Lin saluted and then called out loudly to the deputy director sitting in his office chair.

That's right, it's shouting.

"Alright, kid, this isn't the military. You don't need to follow these rules all the time." The deputy director said amiably, standing up and waving to Captain Lin.

"Hello, Comrade Xiaobai, we meet again. Come and sit down, don't just stand there like this big oaf."

The deputy director led Bai Jing to a sofa and poured her a cup of tea.

"The reason I had Xiaolin call you here is because the reward for you from above has been given," the deputy director repeated. "However, the rewards vary, so I thought I'd ask Comrade Bai what your wishes are."

Bai Jing was taken aback. Could she really choose the reward herself?
"Please speak, Director. I will listen to whatever you say." He sat up straight, looking at her expectantly.

Every deputy-level cadre wants to become a full-level cadre, and even if they haven't reached that level yet, they are happy to be called a full-level cadre.

"Haha, Comrade Bai is quite an interesting person. I heard you're very strong. Have you ever thought about going to the army to train?" People tend to get carried away when they're happy, and sure enough, the deputy director started to feel sorry for Bai Jing's talent.

"Well, really, no. My family needs someone to stay at home. I suppose the deputy director knows something about my family. My mother's health isn't good enough to support her younger siblings." Bai Jing gave a wry smile, then said to the deputy director with gratitude, "I appreciate the director's kindness."

The deputy director also felt it was a pity upon hearing this.

But I didn't push it too hard; it was just out of a sense of appreciating talent.

"In that case, let me tell you about the rewards from above."

This time, she not only helped the police arrest Li Yunshan, but also uncovered the identity of a special individual. Although the investigation is not yet complete, her contribution is significant.

The matter of dealing with the mountain bandits was an even greater achievement.

Without her, who knows what kind of trouble those people would have caused later.

The rewards for all the merits will be distributed at once, and Comrade Bai will be handsomely rewarded by his superiors.

There are three ways to reward people. The first is to give money and honorary rewards directly. However, in case there are still fugitives at large, they will not be publicly praised.

Secondly, taking into account Comrade Bai's family circumstances, she will be given a formal employment position, which she can choose between the commune and the town. Naturally, she will not receive any cash or coupons.

Thirdly, Comrade Bai will be given a property in the town as a reward.

After listening, Bai Jing chose option three without hesitation.

She was originally planning to buy her own house, but now the government is giving her a direct reward, which will save her a lot of money.

Compared to a house, a job is much easier to come by, since these days you can't just buy a house whenever you want.

You can still buy a job if you have money and time.

With a house, she was able to bring her mother and siblings to live in town, away from the misery of Baijia Village.

"Don't you want to think about it again?" The deputy director never expected this girl to be so decisive.

“Work is a long-term commitment. You’ve graduated now, and it’s precisely the time when you need a job. With a job, you can still find a place to live. But if you choose to live, finding a job won’t be so easy.” The deputy director advised, worried that she wasn’t mentally prepared. Bai Jing shook her head. She knew the deputy director meant well, but she only wanted what she needed most right now.

"Thank you for the reminder, Director, but what my family needs most is a house," Bai Jing said earnestly.

Seeing this, the deputy director could only sigh. However, he had a good impression of the young girl in front of him, so he said, "If you want to find a job, I have a good recommendation."

"Oh, Director, please go ahead." Bai Jing also became interested and immediately sat up straight.

Ideally, both tasks could be accomplished in one go.

"Our police canteen is short a few helpers. They're not permanent employees, but the pay isn't bad. I wonder if you'd be interested, Comrade Bai?"

Upon hearing that it was the cafeteria, Bai Jing immediately thought of her mother and second aunt.

"Do you know how many we need?" Bai Jing, always eager to climb the social ladder, immediately asked without any politeness.

Seeing her like this, the deputy director was amused by her.

Seeing how bold she was speaking, Team Leader Lin glared at her, annoyed. "What nonsense are you talking about? This is a perk the leaders are giving you. Do you want a few more? What are you dreaming about?"

After Lin's words, Bai Jing realized that she had been making assumptions.

What kind of organization is the public security bureau? It's not like an ordinary person can just walk into it.

"Hehe, well, I'm just a country bumpkin, I'm not very knowledgeable. Please don't take offense, Director. It's just that when such a good opportunity arises, I subconsciously want to seek some benefits for my family."

Seeing her so frank, the deputy director was amused. "Alright, Xiao Lin, don't scare her. It's only natural. If it were you, wouldn't you think about your family too?"

"The leader is right. If I were in that situation, I would have done the same."

"That's settled then. I'll take charge of the positions in the cafeteria. Forget about temporary workers; just process Comrade Bai's family members through the normal procedures."

When the deputy director spoke up, Bai Jing naturally wouldn't refuse such a good thing. "Thank you, Director. I'll have my mother come. My mother is definitely not idle at home. She's very hardworking. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to raise the four of us siblings by herself."

"Haha, okay, I'll do as Comrade Bai says. It'll be given to your mother. She can come to work once she's feeling better."

"Oh, thank you, Director, thank you."

Then, he presented several locations for Bai Jing to choose a house. With her memories from her future life, Bai Jing naturally knew what kind of people lived in each of those places.

She pointed to a spot and looked at the deputy director, saying, "This is our police family compound, right?"

The deputy director peeked over and said, "That's right, the police family compound is right next door. What, Comrade Bai, you've taken a fancy to this compound?"

Looking at the house map sent over by the street office, the deputy director knew what kind of place it was.

"This courtyard is quite nice. Not only is it separated from our police family compound by a road, but it's also the family compound of the town's only ironworks behind it."

Although Bai Jing didn't know why this house was given to her as a reward, she naturally didn't want to miss such a good location.

"Then let's choose this place."

She really liked this place; it's on the street and close to the police station.

"I won't look any further. I remember there's a larger courtyard house, but it's uninhabited and looks a bit dilapidated."

Seeing that the deputy director was about to search, Bai Jing immediately stopped him, "No need, Director. I think this place is fine. It's close to our police family compound, so I feel safe."

"Haha, okay, I'll do as you say."

Being trusted by the people is an honor for them as public security officers.

When Bai Jing left the police station, she was holding a property ownership certificate.

This is her reward for this bandit suppression operation.

However, she hadn't figured out how to tell her mother yet. This property deed had to be officially registered, and if her mother found out that she had been drugged and taken to the bandit stronghold, she didn't know how much she would cry.

I can't tell her.

Bai Jing was incredibly conflicted throughout the journey.

But the police station is only a short distance from the hospital; there will always come a time when the road ends.
