Cao Jianjun was quite surprised: "Why are you here? Isn't the Municipal Bureau busy today?"
"I've taken leave."
Yang Shu grinned and said, "I've been busy ever since you came back from Nan Yue. Today is the baby's one-month celebration. It would be too much of me not to come."
"What's the big deal? You've only been at the Municipal Bureau for a short time, and you've already become worldly-wise?"
Cao Jianjun looked up at the poplar tree and said, "That bookish air I had when I first came to the institute is almost gone. We must not forget our original aspirations."
The double entendre made Yang Shu feel quite embarrassed.
After exchanging pleasantries, Cao Jianjun got busy.
The hotel set up banquet tables and a welcome table at the entrance, and Yang Shu was responsible for registering the guests.
Before I knew it, it was almost 11 a.m.
My sister-in-law and daughter-in-law Zhou Hui arrived with their two children in a stroller. He Yong drove them there.
"Oh dear! Oh dear..."
As soon as Li Chengyang's donkey-like face appeared, he smiled and gave Cao Jianjun a big hug: "Why are you still so ugly? You haven't changed at all!"
"..."
Cao Jianjun was speechless. Before he could even speak, Da Jiang kicked him from behind.

"Jianjun, it's alright, you go ahead with your work."
After saying that, Dajiang pushed Li Chengyang into the restaurant like he was training a dog.
Not many colleagues from the Balihe Police Station came; they would just come over for lunch.
However, many family members of the police officers at the station came, including Li Dawei's mother, Xia Jie's mother, Chen Xincheng's daughter, and so on.
Good guy.
Just as Cao Jianjun had predicted, the arrival of this group filled all ten tables.
Cao Jianjun was busy entertaining the guests, but as soon as they arrived, they went straight to the children, praising the twin daughters' cuteness one by one.
It was almost noon, and the banquet was about to begin.
The director appeared, accompanied by three other people.
Three faces that surprised Cao Jianjun: Xu Yingzi and her parents.
"Jianjun, come here, come here..."
.. .. 0
As soon as the director arrived at the hotel entrance, he waved and called Cao Jianjun over: "Look who's here..."
"Xu Yingzi, this...this..."
Cao Jianjun was quite surprised.
It's been almost a year since I last saw Xu Yingzi, and she looks much better than before.
The little girl's face had matured a bit, and her spirit was no longer depressed as before; instead, she was very sunny, but she still wore a ponytail.
His parents, an elderly couple, were carrying two large bamboo baskets. When they saw Cao Jianjun, they quickly put them down, lifted the red cloth covering them, and found them full of eggs.
“Um… Officer Cao…”
Xu Yingzi smiled and quickly explained, "Ever since what happened to my brother, we've wanted to come and thank you."
“But when I came around the Lunar New Year, I heard that you had left. I’ve been waiting ever since, and I only found out today that your child is having a full-month celebration.”
"My parents didn't know how to thank you, so they brought all the eggs from their chickens."
"These... there are more than five hundred in total. Please don't mind them. They are all our way of thanking you."
Five hundred domesticated eggs are far more valuable than any monetary gift given by anyone present today.
"This won't do! Miss, this really won't do..."
Cao Jianjun dared not accept them, and waved his hand repeatedly, saying, "How about this, I'll keep a hundred, okay? You can take the rest back."
"Officer Cao, please take it..."
Xu Yingzi's mother spoke up.
Having lost their son in their later years, they looked much older than last year, wiping away tears of gratitude.
“You helped avenge Xiaoshan, and you also saved Yingzi.”
"It's fair to say that without you, our family would have been ruined..."
"We don't know how to thank you enough. These are all the eggs we have left. If you don't want them, we...we'll..." Maru.

Cao Jianjun truly never expected to encounter such a situation today.
Logically and emotionally, he should accept these eggs, since Xu Yingzi's parents personally delivered them from so far away.
But I couldn't bear to do it.
Therefore, Cao Jianjun was in a difficult position.
"Take it."
The director, who was standing to the side with his hands behind his back, spoke up: "After Yingzi's parents heard that Zhou Hui was pregnant, they kept saving the eggs."
"We didn't have many chickens at home back then, and we even raised more during the Lunar New Year to celebrate your full moon celebration today."
"By piecing things together, we've managed to get 560 six-eggs now."
For the first time, Cao Jianjun felt the honor of being a policeman.
This has an even greater impact than the first-class merit award.
Looking at Xu Yingzi's parents, who were over sixty years old and had white hair, she suddenly felt even more distressed.
"Okay! I'll take it."
Cao Jianjun patted Xu Yingzi on the shoulder: "Don't be impulsive in the future. As long as you live, there is endless hope."
"Ah."
With red eyes and swollen rims, Xu Yingzi nodded vigorously: "Officer Cao, I... I'll be a police officer soon too."
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Jianjun was stunned again.
Xu Yingzi turned to look at the director, who smiled mysteriously and nodded.
"Xu Yingzi took the police recruitment exam for our branch and has passed..."
"I estimate that he will be able to come to our station as an auxiliary police officer in a few days."
Cao Jianjun turned around in surprise and delight, only to see Xu Yingzi beaming with smiles, showing no trace of the desperate little girl she was last year.
"Officer Cao, thank you."
Xu Yingzi was truly grateful to Cao Jianjun. She took a step back and bowed deeply.
"Okay, okay, that's enough..."
Cao Jianjun felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment and quickly pulled Xu Yingzi up, saying, "Good girl, no matter what, it's all in the past. Keep up the good work."
"Ah."
Xu Yingzi pursed her lips and nodded excitedly.
"Uncle and Auntie, come on in, don't just stand there..."
After chatting for so long at the hotel entrance, Cao Jianjun quickly ushered the people inside.
When we arrived at the restaurant at noon, all the colleagues who were taking a lunch break came over.
Police cars pulled up at the entrance, and a group of people got out, chatting and laughing, and started joking with Cao Jianjun.
Although it was a full moon celebration, they only came to freeload a meal, as they had to go to work in the afternoon.
Once inside the hotel, everyone went straight to the children.
The eldest sister-in-law, Zhou Cong, and his wife, Zhou Hui, each held one of the children, and all the police officers, including Chief Cheng, Chief Gao, Chief Zhang, Chen Xincheng, Li Dawei, and Zhao Jiwei, surrounded them.
"Oh my, what an adorable girl..."
"Come, child, call me uncle..."
"Xincheng, you should call him grandpa, kid, come and see your grandpa..."
"Your uncle..."
"Hey, why are you swearing?"
"Didn't you start the insults?"
"Nonsense, you're older than Jianjun, you should be the kid's grandfather..."
Gao Suo and Chen Xincheng's banter, one after another, made Zhou Cong and Zhou Hui laugh so hard they couldn't stand up straight, their faces turning red.
