Chapter 141 Uncle Ge's Visit
When the Jiang family of three came running over, panting heavily, they were so out of breath that they couldn't speak for a moment.
After the three men's breathing had calmed down a bit, Jiang Yong, the head of the family, looked at the police officers with a face full of grief:
“Officer, we’re reporting to the police. My daughter, Jiang Yun, is a sent-down youth who came to Lanshan Brigade, but she has been missing since yesterday morning.”
It's been a day and a night now. The brigade leaders said they'd mobilize all the members to search, but there's still no news.
Upon hearing Jiang Yong's words, the police officers all became serious. The unexplained disappearance of these educated youths was no small matter.
The group, who were originally heading back to the commune, turned their vehicle around and returned to the brigade office along the same route.
Captain Lü, who was enjoying a cup of tea in his office, was taken aback when he heard someone say that several police officers had returned. He wondered to himself, "What's going on? Is there something they haven't finished telling us?"
Just as he was about to leave, he saw several police officers walk in with serious expressions, followed by several members of the Jiang family.
When Lü Tianhua saw Jiang Yong and the others, he knew what had happened, and his expression immediately became serious.
He quickly invited the group in and gave them a detailed account of the events surrounding Jiang Yun's disappearance the previous day.
Two police officers from the commune summoned the educated youth from the compound and questioned them in detail about what had happened that evening and night. Feng Qingqing was also called in for questioning.
When asked by the police, Feng Qingqing told them everything she could.
During the police questioning, Jiang Yong repeatedly emphasized Feng Qingqing's strange behavior to the officers: Feng Qingqing was clearly still in Jiang Yun's room that night, so why did they find that Feng Qingqing had returned to the clinic when they woke up that morning?
But no one knows what happened in between, or whether it was related to his daughter's disappearance!
The police officers agreed with what Jiang Yong said and turned to look at Feng Qingqing with questioning eyes.
Feng Qingqing's explanation was natural and matter-of-fact:
"I haven't been staying at the educated youth compound for several days and I'm not used to it. I woke up with a headache after drinking at night and couldn't fall back asleep. I consider myself a brave and strong person and I don't think there's anything wrong with going back at night. Plus, it was too late, so I didn't wake up the people in the educated youth compound."
The police officers nodded in approval of Feng Qingqing's response. After checking with other officers about Feng Qingqing's situation and finding no problems, they let her go home.
After Feng Qingqing returned, He Yong'an greeted the police officers and then came out.
After leaving the brigade office, He Yong'an and Feng Qingqing walked together toward the health clinic.
On the way, He Yong'an told Feng Qingqing that the county police had arranged a job for him, and Feng Qingqing was overjoyed to hear it.
Feng Qingqing had been trying to find a way to help He Yong'an find a job, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time.
Feng Qingqing did not intend to stay in the countryside for long, and it was a good thing for both of them that He Yong'an could have a job at this time.
Later, He Yong'an felt guilty for not informing Feng Qingqing in advance that he wanted to work at the Public Security Bureau.
Feng Qingqing didn't mind and fully supported He Yong'an's ambitions.
She believes that with her support, He Yong'an's work in public security will also become more colorful.
Finally, He Yong'an scratched his head sheepishly:
"Next time, I will discuss anything with you in advance, but this time it was a bit rushed and I didn't have time."
Feng Qingqing shook her head, indicating that she didn't care.
As the two walked not far from the clinic, they saw two people standing at the entrance. Upon closer inspection, they realized it was Grandpa Ge and his son, Ge Wentang.
Feng Qingqing was somewhat surprised by their arrival, but thinking that they might have run out of ointment, she felt it was appropriate. She greeted them warmly, opened the door, and welcomed them into the courtyard.
The temperature was just right, so Feng Qingqing took out a few stools from the house and let the group talk in the courtyard.
After pouring water for everyone, Feng Qingqing sat down on a nearby stool and kindly inquired about Grandpa Ge's recent cough and joint condition.
Actually, without even asking, Feng Qingqing already sensed that Grandpa Ge had improved significantly.
The first time Grandpa Ge came to the clinic, he spoke intermittently and coughed constantly, but this time after he came in, we didn't hear him cough anymore.
Hearing Feng Qingqing's concern, Grandpa Ge laughed heartily:
"Thanks to you, young doctor, my cough and joints are much better now. I can sleep at night and I can hardly hear my cough anymore."
After saying that, he sighed again:
"I never imagined that I would be able to enjoy such a blessed life in my old age."
Upon hearing his words, Feng Qingqing quickly replied:
"Grandpa, you've worked hard all your life. Now that you're old, it's time for you to enjoy your retirement. Brother Ge and the others are all hoping you live to be a hundred years old."
Grandpa Ge glanced sideways at Ge Wentang, and seeing him grinning sheepishly beside him, Grandpa Ge sighed and said nothing more.
After a moment, Grandpa Ge brought up the topic again:
"Little Feng, your uncle's here today. There are two things. One is about He Yong'an. I just heard that Yong'an assisted the county police in solving a major case."
And they received a reward, which is truly wonderful.
He looked at He Yong'an with admiration in his eyes.
He was a veteran comrade and knew a thing or two about the rewards in the Public Security Bureau. He Yong'an was able to receive the title and cash, so the case must have been quite big, and there was a lot of room for manipulation in between.
Therefore, they rushed over immediately upon hearing the news, also to prevent the two young people from missing the opportunity due to their ignorance.
"However, I wonder what you're thinking, Yong'an. You should be able to say that your contribution is significant."
He Yong'an knew that Grandpa Ge was genuinely concerned for him and should also be aware of his relationship with Feng Qingqing, so he didn't hide anything and quickly told Grandpa Ge about the work arrangements that Officer Wu from the county had just mentioned.
Grandpa Ge nodded with a slight smile after hearing this, as it was largely in line with his own thoughts. Being able to arrange a job for He Yong'an was a worthwhile contribution.
Upon hearing He Yong'an and Officer Wu mention wanting to work at the Public Security Bureau, she raised an eyebrow and looked at He Yong'an in surprise:
"I didn't expect that, good lad."
He nodded in support.
"The police are good, the police are good."
After a moment's thought, he slowly spoke:
"We still need to take care of Yong'an's job situation to be on the safe side. I'll ask my third son, who works in the county's armed forces department, to inquire about whether he can be placed in a suitable position in the Public Security Bureau."
Feng Qingqing knew how much Grandpa Ge wanted to arrange He Yong'an's work, so she didn't refuse. She readily agreed and thanked him repeatedly.
Seeing Feng Qingqing like this, Grandpa Ge was in a great mood and waved his hand:
"It's nothing, it's nothing. It's Yong'an who's capable. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to arrange things for him."
