Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 104 The Reward Has Come

"Qiuyi, Qiuyi, Qiuyi, are you at home?" A voice sounded outside the courtyard gate.

"What are you yelling about? What are you yelling about?" Another voice sounded immediately, "No, no, my son is doing his homework. Why are you making so much noise?"

Tao Qiuyi heard the voice of Aunt Hehua outside the courtyard, as well as many different footsteps. The voice in the courtyard with a smell of gunpowder was Li Yuegui's.

Obviously Wei Jingyuan also heard the voice and looked up at Tao Qiuyi who was sitting at the table.

"I'll go out and take a look." Tao Qiuyi said as he stood up.

"I'm going too." Xiao Huai put down the herbs in his hand and stood up.

"You don't have to go. Just continue washing and drying the herbs I picked out and place them on the table." Tao Qiuyi reminded him worriedly, "Remember, don't throw them directly into the porcelain basin for me again."

"I understand. I will definitely not put herbs in the porcelain basin again." Xiao Huai promised.

After getting Xiao Huai's assurance, Tao Qiuyi opened the door and went out with confidence. When passing by the yard, he turned his head to look at Li Yuegui and saw Li Yuegui staring at him.

Tao Qiuyi smiled slightly and walked over to open the gate.

Oh, outside the courtyard gate stood Aunt Hehua and the old branch secretary, followed by a soldier in uniform, a policeman, and several villagers. There were really a lot of people.

"Qiuyi, Qiuyi, you're home." Aunt Hehua entered first, grabbed Tao Qiuyi's wrist, looked back, and said to her in a low voice, "The police and military comrades said they are here to see you."

"Looking for me?" Tao Qiuyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Aunt Hehua.

"Yes, I'm looking for you." Aunt Hehua nodded heavily and wanted to explain, but she was afraid of delaying the work of the public security and military comrades, so she had to shut up.

"Tao girl!" The old Party Secretary stepped aside and pointed at two comrades in uniform behind him. "These two comrades said they came to see you."

On the way to Wei's house, the old branch secretary was nervous. He knew the public security comrades, but not the military comrades, and he didn't know why these two people came to see Tao Yatou?
Tao Qiuyi looked at the two people the old branch secretary pointed at. She had never seen the public security comrade, and the military comrade... Hey, isn't he the military leader who took away the traitor in the mountains a few days ago... No, he's the team leader.

"Comrade Tao, do you still remember me?" The soldier comrade took a step forward and looked at Tao Qiuyi with a smile.

"I remember, Captain Wen." Tao Qiuyi nodded, his expression calm and composed. "I wonder what Captain Wen and this police officer want to talk to me about?"

"I'm here to deliver the reward the organization gave you, Comrade Tao." Captain Wen said, pointing to Comrade Gong'an. "He's the one who showed me the way."

"The reward came out so quickly." Tao Qiuyi was a little surprised. Isn't it said that this kind of reward requires layer-by-layer approval and it will take at least one or two months to come out?
Captain Wen had said before in the mountains that he wanted to recommend her for a commendation. She had refused, but she agreed after failing to refuse. There was no need to be polite now.

The old Party Secretary said, "Girl Tao, it's so cold, it's inconvenient to talk outside. Please ask the police and military comrades to come inside and have a seat and a cup of hot water."

"The old branch secretary is right. Please come inside and talk." Tao Qiuyi smiled and invited the two of them, then looked at the old branch secretary, "Old branch secretary, please come in and sit down too."

"Okay, I won't be polite with you." The old branch secretary led the way with a smile.

Aunt Hehua grabbed Tao Qiuyi's wrist and said in a low voice, "When the police and military comrades came, I happened to be at the village entrance. They said they were looking for our team leader. I saw the team leader go out with my own eyes."

"I kindly told them, and they said they were looking for the old branch secretary, so I took them to his home. When we met, the military comrades told him we were looking for him again."

After saying that, Aunt Hehua didn't wait for Tao Qiuyi to say anything. She raised her hand and pointed inside the house and asked, "Do you know why the two comrades came to see you?"

"I know." Tao Qiuyi nodded.

"Is it something bad?" Aunt Hehua asked worriedly. "It's a good thing." Tao Qiuyi replied with a smile.

"Then I'm relieved." Auntie Hehua let go of Tao Qiuyi's wrist, turned around and walked out, "Auntie will go back first."

"Okay, thank you Aunt Hehua." Tao Qiuyi thanked sincerely.

As soon as Aunt Lotus left, Tao Qiuyi said apologetically to the villagers gathered at the door: "Dear aunts and uncles, thank you for bringing the two comrades to my home. My home is small, so I won't invite you in to sit down. I'm sorry."

Even though she knew these people were just there to watch the fun, Tao Qiuyi still smiled and thanked them. She was being polite, so what others thought was none of her business.

Everyone was frightened by her polite attitude and stood there in a daze.

Tao Qiuyi didn't care about them. He closed the gate and turned to walk into the house. He saw a figure flash by out of the corner of his eye. He paused, raised his lips and smiled, and walked into the house.

In the room.

The public security comrades and Captain Wen sat on a long bench, the old branch secretary and Wei Jingyuan sat on a long bench alone, and Xiao Huai was pouring water for the three of them with a bamboo cup.

No one in the room spoke, except Wei Jingyuan and Xiao Huai. Although the other three were sitting, they looked at the fireplace from time to time, especially the old branch secretary, who wanted to rush to the fireplace to see what was going on.

Seeing her come in, Xiao Huai called out, "Sister-in-law."

"Young man, not bad." Tao Qiuyi praised with a smile, and walked naturally to sit next to Wei Jingyuan.

The old branch secretary and the other two looked at Xiao Huai, who looked calm, in surprise, and then looked at Wei Jingyuan, who looked even calmer.

After pouring three glasses of water, Xiao Huai served them to the three guests, first to the old Party Secretary, as he was old and should be respected! Then to the public security comrades and Captain Wen.

The two took the cups and thanked Xiao Huai with a smile.

The old branch secretary held the warm bamboo tube cup, from which a faint herbal fragrance wafted. He looked at the emerald green water in the cup and lowered his head to take a sip.

"It tastes good. The warm water brings a refreshing cool feeling. It's comfortable, really comfortable." The old branch secretary took another sip with a look of enjoyment and looked at Tao Qiuyi. "Tao girl, what kind of herbal tea are you making?"

"Some medicinal teas made from heat-clearing herbs are suitable for drinking in the dry winter," said Tao Qiuyi.

"You also know how to make medicinal tea?" The old branch secretary looked at her in surprise.

"I know a lot." Tao Qiuyi pointed to the table, "The pile of herbs on the table can prove it for me."

The old branch secretary was amused by her.

Comrade Gong'an and Captain Wen had finished drinking the herbal water in the bamboo cup, and their dry throats felt much better. They had come here by bicycle, so they naturally breathed in a lot of cold wind on the way, which made their throats dry and uncomfortable.

After drinking the herbal water, my throat felt moisturized and no longer uncomfortable.

"Good tea." said the public security comrade.

"It's really good tea." Captain Wen agreed.

Seeing that the two had finished the water in their bamboo cups, Xiao Huai poured them another cup, and the two thanked him gratefully.
