Chapter 35 Settlement

Fan Zhi drove all day and returned to the station in the evening. After more than ten days away, Xue Miao missed this place a lot.

As soon as she came back, she rushed to the station to attend the study meeting. Before the meeting, Xue Miao briefly reported to the leaders about the kidnapping and some subsequent events. Seeing Fan Zhi pull Gu Yuning aside, the two discussed for a while, and Fan Zhi actually went to the podium for the meeting. He took out a red-headed document of commendation and announced in public: "Xue Miao, the life officer of the Third Battalion of the Lanjiang Agricultural Reclamation Construction Corps, is commended for her meritorious service in assisting the troops in defending the border."

Xue Miao, who was standing on the stage, suddenly realized that Liao Rui had detained her in the independent regiment and not allowed her to return because he was waiting for the commendation document from the troops.

It is not difficult to guess his original intention of doing this. She was kidnapped this time because it was too sensitive to involve foreign countries. The personnel of the agricultural reclamation system are complicated. For example, the two people who came to investigate her last time, regardless of whether she was a victim of kidnapping or not, it was easy to label her as a suspected person who was instigated.

But with this commendation report, everything is different. Although the report only contains a few short sentences because it involves confidential information, it is enough to prove her political innocence.

Liao Rui helped her think of things that she didn't think of. He is the kind of person who takes one step and looks ten steps ahead.

It turns out that this is what it feels like to have someone you can rely on behind you. You can do everything with confidence, and someone will clear all obstacles for you. This feeling is really good.

Xue Miao was grateful and declined the friends who wanted to visit her. She was busy all night, packing up a lot of pots and pans that were originally placed under the bed. She would not take out anything too sensitive. She made mushroom sauce some time ago, peanut sauce made from peanuts exchanged with Secretary Ruiban, and spicy dried fish. These things were forbidden to be put away but could be taken back and eaten slowly. The next morning, she moved them all to Fan Zhi's jeep and filled up the back seat.

Xue Miao was afraid of the bumpy road, so she asked, "Is it okay? How about I take the two altars back and stuff some cattails in them to prevent them from breaking on the road?"

Fan Zhi, the shameless foodie, refused to let him go and made a promise, "I'm here, the altars are here."

Fan Zhi left early, and it was still dark when Xue Miao came back from sending people off. She went back to sleep and opened the door again. She almost bumped into Meng Jianying who was wandering at the door. There were so many people yesterday that she didn't say a word. Meng Jianying got up early to block the door, so Xue Miao had to invite her in.

Meng Jianying started to wipe her tears as soon as she came in, "Xue Miao, if I hadn't asked you to accompany me to get clothes, you wouldn't have been in trouble. You're like this now..."

What's wrong with me? I eat everything I want, why do you talk like I can't live anymore?

After the experience in the cave, Xue Miao tended to regard Meng Jianying as an NPC who guided her to rescue Liao Rui. Now that the person has been rescued, it is better to stay away from this person. It is enough to be kind and stupid once. Who knows if you will be lucky enough to escape next time. So she told the truth, "Meng Jianying, I see that you were not very popular before you became an official. In addition to the fact that your family conditions are too good to make people feel distant, don't you think you are a little unpopular?"
