Reborn as an Armed Police Officer: I Became an All-Round Soldier King Through Duty

Zhou Heng didn't say anything and got into the car with Zhao Zhengwu.

Minister Wang was sitting in the passenger seat.

He turned around and smiled:

"Comrade Zhou Heng, are you from Baihe Town?"

"Yes."

"We've already coordinated with your town and village this afternoon."

"Your family has also been notified."

"Your parents were so excited. Your mother even called us that afternoon to ask what we needed to prepare."

"Oh, by the way, some relatives are saying they want to arrange a marriage for you!"

"what?"

Zhou Heng quickly refused.

"That's not necessary!"

"really."

Minister Wang looked at him again.

"You're still young, there's no rush."

Zhou Heng quickly added:

"Yes, yes!"

Zhao Zhengwu sat on the side without saying a word.

The car was quiet for a while.

After a while,

Minister Wang then said:

"But you should also be mentally prepared, there will definitely be quite a few people in your village tomorrow."

"The town will organize some residents to beat drums and gongs, and relatives and local media will also come."

"Don't be nervous then."

"Leave everything to us!"

Zhou Heng immediately replied:

"Yes."

Minister Wang added:

"The process is roughly like this: we'll arrive at your house around 9:30 AM."

"We followed the drum and gong team and the team delivering good news into the village."

"Then the commendation for meritorious service was read out."

"The county leaders will say a few words, then give you a bonus and hang a plaque on your house."

"After the group photo, there was a brief interview."

"Don't worry, it's just some simple questions."

Zhou Heng nodded.

"I see!"

Then Zhao Zhengwu looked at him and added:

"It's all fun and excitement, but don't get too excited. Make sure you maintain your composure!"

Zhou Heng nodded.

"clear."

The car drove into the county town guesthouse.

There were also people waiting at the entrance of the guesthouse.

after eating.

Zhou Heng was placed in a private room.

The room wasn't big, but it was very clean.

Upon entering the room, Zhao Zhengwu gave a few more instructions.

Get some rest early tonight.

"You can call home using your cell phone, but don't talk too late."

"Meet at 7:30 tomorrow morning."

"Please tidy up your everyday clothes."

"Make sure you bring all your sashes and medals."

Zhou Heng immediately replied:

"clear!"

Officer Yao also reminded:

"I'll send you the schedule for tomorrow on your phone later."

"You only need to read it once."

"No need to memorize it."

"There aren't many opportunities for you to speak."

"It's mainly about image."

"clear."

The door closed.

Zhou Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He carefully removed the sash and placed the Second Class Merit Medal on the table.

After doing all that, he sat on the edge of the bed.

Suddenly, I felt that the room was unusually quiet.

Usually, there are people in the class who keep him company, such as the "Sleeping Dragon" and "Phoenix Chick" who chat with him.

I feel a little out of place without them.

He took out his phone and saw the message his mother had sent.

"Where are we?"

Have you eaten?

He quickly dialed the number.

The call was answered almost instantly.

"Feed?"

The mother's voice came through.

With barely suppressed excitement.

"You're back?"

Zhou Heng said softly:

"Mom, I've arrived."

"I'm at the county guesthouse now, and I'll go back with them tomorrow."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, then the mother quickly said:

"I know, I know."

"Our leader told us this afternoon."

"Don't worry about things at home."

"Everything is prepared at home. You can invite the leaders to have dinner together."

"They've come all this way, they must be tired!"

"Your dad has already bought all the alcohol!"

After hearing this, Zhou Heng quickly said:

"Mom, we can't do this carelessly!"

"They're here on official business; we don't even know if they can stay."

"Besides, people definitely can't drink alcohol!"

"The military has discipline!"

Shu Min on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then laughed:

"Alright, alright, I know your unit has strict discipline."

"We'll see how things go then!"

Zhou Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Um."

"Mom, don't be too busy, get some rest."

"I have to get up early tomorrow."

Don't worry!

The mother said with a smile:

"Follow the procedures exactly."

Zhou Heng hummed in agreement.

"Oh, right."

The mother suddenly lowered her voice.

"Um... your Aunt Wang asked me this afternoon if you've found a boyfriend yet?"

"I heard someone on her end has taken a liking to you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng felt a chill run down his spine.

That's not because she's taken a liking to him!

"mom!"

"There's really no need to rush this!"

The mother quickly said:

"I know, I know."

"I didn't agree either."

"Just asking."

"But your Aunt Wang said that her niece..."

Zhou Heng quickly interrupted.

"Mom, we'll talk about that later!"

"I'm hanging up now!"

Zhou Heng was still shaken after hanging up the phone.

so horrible!

He doesn't want to be labeled for no reason!

After folding the clothes, Zhou Heng lay down on the bed.

Close your eyes,

But my mind was filled with images of tomorrow.

As he pondered these thoughts, he gradually drifted off to sleep...

The next morning around six o'clock,

Zhou Heng then woke up.

Actually, he didn't sleep well at all that night; all he could see when he closed his eyes was his front door.

First, put on your regular clothes.

Ribbon,

The medals are all ready.

7:20

He dressed neatly and went downstairs.

Zhao Zhengwu was already waiting in the lobby.

"good."

"Very energetic, keep it up!"

Officer Yao also came over.

I checked the position of the sash for him.

"A little further back."

"The medals are revealed."

"right."

"that's all!"

Soon Minister Wang and Director Liu arrived, with Minister Wang holding a red folder in his hand.

The two staff members behind them were carrying a plaque wrapped in red cloth.

Although wrapped up,

But everyone present knew what it was.

After breakfast, the group set off.

The county's vehicles were in front, and the armed forces' vehicles were behind.

Staff from the Veterans Affairs Bureau, the town, and the village gathered in Baihe Town in advance.

Zhou Heng sat in the car,

The road outside the window is becoming more and more familiar.

The closer I get to home, the more timid I become.

A strange sense of tension welled up inside me.

After entering Baihe Town,

There were already people waiting by the roadside.

A banner was hanging at the entrance of the town government building.

A warm welcome to Comrade Zhou Heng, a recipient of the Second-Class Merit Citation, as he returns to his hometown!

The drum and gong team is also ready.

Zhou Heng had just gotten out of the car,

Then the "dong dong qiang" sound rang out.

County leaders came to greet them.

First, shake hands with Zhao Zhengwu and Minister Wang.

Then she looked at Zhou Heng.

"Comrade Zhou Heng, welcome home!"

Zhou Heng immediately saluted.

"Thank you, boss!"

After a simple connection,

A drum troupe led the way, with two retired veterans in civilian clothes carrying a plaque.

now,

The red cloth on the plaque has been removed.

The gleaming gold of the "Home of a Second-Class Merit Recipient" was displayed before everyone's eyes.

Zhou Heng stood in the middle of the line and slowly walked home.

The closer you get to home, the more people there are on the roadside.

Many people stood at the door watching.

Some people recognized him.

"Is that Old Zhou's child?"

"It's him!"

"The one in the middle wearing a military uniform!"

"Wow, you've really made something of yourself!"

"A second-class merit!"

"The Zhou family has really struck it rich this time!"
