Chapter 791: Seven hundred and eighty-nine, giving gifts Chapter 791: Seven hundred and eighty-nine, giving gifts Bai Tinggu smiled, nodded, and took a seat, gesturing to the sofa next to him for Lu Hanmo and Yhan Zhan to sit down.
Once the two had sat down, Bai Tinggu handed a docunt to Yhan Zhan, “Comrade Yhan Zhan, based on your outstanding performance in the ‘Sky Eagle’ mission, the Guard have unanimously decided to comnd you with First-Class rit, this is the award docunt.”
“Thank you! Thank you, all the leaders!” Yhan Zhan’s eyes filled with excitent as he reached out with both hands to accept the docunt. Honor is of utmost importance to a Guard mber, as it is the recognition of a Guard mber’s efforts!
“At the comndation ceremony at the beginning of next month, I will personally present you with the dal of Honor, your new title, and a bonus. Continue to work hard!” Bai Tinggu encouraged with a smile.
“Yes!” Yhan Zhan stood up and gave Bai Tinggu a standard salute.
“Later, you go to the Guard District Hospital and have a thorough check-up. You should rest and recover properly during this period. A healthy body is the capital of revolution,” Bai Tinggu said. He had high hopes for Yhan Zhan. Now that Yhan Zhan was close to Lu Hanmo, his future was boundless.
“Thank you for your concern, Sir, I will certainly take good care of my health and contribute to the people.” In these three years, he had infiltrated deep into enemy territory and lived with constant strife, but he never stopped exercising, except for the last three months of captivity.
During those months, his addiction tornted him ti and again, making his life worse than death. He struggled earnestly against it, and each ti he was close to succeeding, Sabo would send soone to inject him, turning his long efforts to naught.
His will had been tortured like this repeatedly, and just when he was about to give up, he was finally rescued. Moreover, what shocked him was that his addiction had also been cured. But he still couldn’t rember how he was saved.
Lin Helian sent Luo Shu ho and then started to get busy at ho with Yhan Cheng. She took out everything edible in the house and prepared an entire table full of food. With Yhan Zhan’s return, her life had hope once again. Furthermore, she had decided to ask Luo Shu to arrange a job for her in a couple days. Now that Yhan Cheng was studying with Lu Hanmo, she was very relieved.
“Is Sister Helian at ho?” The voice of Aunt Wang from next door ca from outside.
Lin Helian walked forward and opened the door, “Aunt Wang!” Although they lived close to each other, they never interacted. The other party had always treated her as if she was air. She had long been ostracized by the other Guard’s Wives, and she had already grown accustod to this status.
“Sister Helian, I heard Old Yhan has returned,” Aunt Wang said with a smile. She had heard that Lin Helian’s husband had co back and was likely to be promoted. Additionally, recently, Lin Helian had been getting quite close to Luo Shu, so nobody in the Guard’s mbers Courtyard would dare bully or look down on her anymore.
“Yes!” Lin Helian nodded.
“Sister Helian, congratulations, you’ve finally made it. These mustard greens, I just picked them from the field; please take them,” Aunt Wang said as she handed over the basket to Lin Helian. Now that Lin Helian was a different person from before, it was necessary for her to build a good relationship with Lin Helian.
“Thank you, Aunt Wang. I appreciate your kindness, but you should take the mustard greens back,” Lin Helian said, declining with a smile. Over the years, she had grown used to the vicissitudes of human relationships and didn’t want to have insincere interactions with these Guard’s Wives. She could live well without them!
“Don’t be so formal with ; after all, we’re neighbors. As the saying goes, ‘a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor,’ we should interact more in the future,” Aunt Wang insisted, pushing the basket of mustard greens into Lin Helian’s hands, “I have to go cook now, but if you ever need anything, just let know.” After speaking, she turned and walked towards her own house.
“Aunt Wang, please take the mustard greens back,” Lin Helian caught up and thrust the basket back into Aunt Wang’s hands.
“Sister Helian, I’m going to get upset if you keep this up. These greens aren’t worth much; by being so distant, you are clearly looking down on ,” Aunt Wang said sternly, having made up her mind to give the greens to Lin Helian no matter what.
Lin Helian frowned helplessly and withdrew her hand, “Alright then, thank you, Sister-in-law Wang.” The neighbor had spoken to this extent; if she didn’t accept, it would offend them. Even if she didn’t want to associate with them, she couldn’t beco enemies with them either.
“That’s more like it! Okay, I’m going to cook now. When we’re both free, we’ll chat again.” Sister-in-law Wang smiled and walked into her house.
Lin Helian withdrew her gaze, looked at the basket in her hand, shook her head helplessly, and moved toward her own house.
As soon as she entered, she heard soone calling her from outside again.
She put the basket on the table and walked back out.
This ti, the person outside was Sister-in-law Li, whose husband was also a centurion, and they currently lived above Lin Helian’s place.
“Sister Helian, this is so vegetables my Old Li asked to bring you. He heard your Old Yhan has co ho and was overjoyed. He said in a few days, when your Old Yhan has ti, he’d like to invite you over to our place for a gathering.” As she spoke, Sister-in-law Li handed over a plate of braised fish to Lin Helian, “This was caught by our Old Li at the riverbank last night.”
“Please thank Centurion Li for , Sister-in-law Li, but you should take this fish back.” Lin Helian looked at the fish in Sister-in-law Li’s hand, her face troubled.
“Sister Helian, this is really a token of our goodwill, you cannot refuse. Besides, your Old Yhan and my Old Li are in the sa centurion troop, if you act distant, it’s like you’re looking down on us!” Sister-in-law Li placed the fish into Lin Helian’s hands, “Alright, don’t be polite with , just take it.”
“Thank you, Sister-in-law Li.” Lin Helian could only reluctantly accept it. Her heart was sowhat troubled by all these gifts, as they all implied a debt of gratitude!
“That’s how it should be! Tell your Old Yhan, when he has a chance, to co over to my place for a visit, and now I’ll go back for lunch.” Sister-in-law Li said cheerfully, heading to her ho.
One afternoon, people kept coming to Lin Helian’s ho, and no matter how she refused, she ended up with a table full of gifts, ranging from food and various seasonings to soap, towels, and everything one might need.
When Yhan Zhan ca ho and saw a table filled with items, he too was startled, “Where did all these co from?”
“They’re from the guard’s wives. I couldn’t refuse them and had to accept. What do you think we should do to repay them?” Lin Helian shook her head helplessly. Looking at the full table of items, she was truly troubled.
Yhan Zhan thought for a mont and said, “Next month I’ll be promoted, and there’s a large bonus to be had. How about we invite everyone over for a al then?”
“But there are so many people! Our house can’t fit them all.” Lin Helian said. There were easily a dozen families; their place was too small to accommodate everyone.
“Then how about we buy so things to send back to them?” Yhan Zhan suggested.
“That could work.” Lin Helian agreed.
