Chapter 186 Pure Gold Ornaments
Gu Mingyue knew that Shen Qianzhong deliberately said those words to the villagers to build momentum for her.
I guess he was afraid that she would be bullied because she was too easy to talk to.
But how could he know that she was always the one bullying others.
However, she would always know when to stop, like giving a sweet reward after a beating.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. She won the hearts of the people, and the villagers got convenience. It was good for you, me, and everyone, and everyone was happy. The process was not important.
Therefore, Gu Mingyue accepted everyone's touching gesture calmly.
But he still said to the villagers, "I'm not as noble as Chief Shen said. I just benefited from Damao's help. Besides, I can also benefit from the rewards you asked for. You don't have to worry too much."
Everyone just felt that these words were comforting them, and they were all moved. This determined Gu Mingyue's unique status in the village.
In the days that followed, everyone was particularly obedient to her instructions, including the most slippery Li Laizi, who never said a word.
Shen Qianzhong left and came back, bringing three gifts to Gu Mingyue.
The first one was a framed painting of "House of Loyalty", which she hung right in front of the door, ensuring that it could be seen as soon as people came in.
The second one is the three words "Gujia Village" written by the leader himself.
He also wrote a poem on the side: Heaven and earth are full of righteousness, and the universe is filled with vastness; people’s hearts are just, and grace is passed down from generation to generation.
At the bottom is his signature and seal.
The third one is a pure gold ornament.
According to Shen Qianzhong, the senior leader specially found a skilled goldsmith to cast it overnight.
It was carved according to the original shape of a mountain cat, weighing 50 grams and shining with gold. It was nominally a reward for Damao, but it was deliberately specified that Gu Mingyue should keep it.
"This craftsmanship is so good, it's so lifelike, and it looks almost exactly like Damao."
What Shen Qianzhong didn't say was that when he first arrived in Beijing, all of Gu Mingyue's information, including Damao's information and even the photo of Master Lu and Shanmao were placed on the boss's desk.
Since it is made according to the photo, it is naturally not much different.
He couldn't say this directly, so he said vaguely, "It looks like a mountain cat. If a goldsmith doesn't even have this little experience, it's not worth it for the leader to personally invite him out. If you like it, take it. I brought this piece of gold back from the cave for reporting. Just keep it as a souvenir. By the way, the leader asked me to tell you that he can arrange a regular job for you in Beijing City, plus a small courtyard house, and even Xiao Shitou's household registration problem can be solved at the same time."
Gu Mingyue declined, "Thank you for your concern. But I really don't have any ambitions. I just want to stay at my doorstep and take care of my family. I'm afraid I'll let you down."
Shen Qianzhong guessed that she would refuse, and couldn't help but persuade her, "You don't have to feel unworthy. To be honest, we knew about this base a long time ago, but we have never found it. If you hadn't discovered this shortcut, even if we found the entrance, the Japanese would have set up many traps there, and we would probably be wiped out. So, you really helped the country a lot. You know, whether it's advanced weapons or tons of gold and silver, they are all precious. Do you understand what I mean?"
Gu Mingyue still said calmly, "I understand. But I really don't want anything. I won't hide it from you. I feel very comfortable and leisurely in the village. Maybe everyone pursues different things. Others seek fame and fortune, but I just want to be free. However, I still want to say thank you to you. I believe that you must have taken a lot of trouble for me when you were reporting. Thank you for thinking so far ahead for me. I am sorry for causing you trouble."
No one doesn't like a child who is grateful, and Shen Qianzhong is especially so.
He said with relief, "I didn't do anything. You deserve it. The senior leader is better at judging people than I am. He predicted what you would say in advance and asked me to tell you that if you don't want to accept the reward, he will promise you a request. As long as it is not against the law, he will help you with anything. This is his personal promise to you."
Gu Mingyue was moved and said, "Thank you, great leader. I will keep it in my heart."
"The Shen family has also benefited greatly from this incident. I can also promise you one request. No matter what it is, as long as you have something to ask for, the Shen family will definitely do its best."
Gu Mingyue declined, "You don't have to do this... I..."
Shen Qianzhong interrupted her and said, "Okay, listen to me on this matter. No need to say more. By the way, I have good news to tell you. The organization has already found out about your father's affairs and will posthumously confer a title on him soon."
"Really? That's great. I believe my father will be very happy in his grave."
Shen Qianzhong looked at a junior with his eyes and said kindly, "Okay, everything I promised you has been done. There are still some things in Beijing that need my attention. I'll leave this to Guangliang. Remember to call this number if you have anything." Then he handed over a piece of paper with a number on it.
Gu Mingyue quickly asked, "What about Brother Guan...?"
"Lin Shan has already revealed the location of the wood warehouse, and we have also investigated clearly that Guan Youliang is Liang Shaoling. Therefore, I will take him for a physical examination first to see if it is possible to restore his memory. Don't worry, he will be fine. The person who framed him has been arrested, and we are taking him back mainly to ask for some details. Moreover, he also needs to deal with his own affairs."
After hearing Shen Qianzhong's words, Gu Mingyue was still a little worried, "Will he stay in Beijing in the future? Also, does he have family in Beijing?"
"His family members passed away a long time ago, and only a housekeeper is left to guard the ancestral home. As for whether he will come back in the future, it is his personal freedom, and I will not interfere."
Gu Mingyue thought to herself, it seems that Guan Youliang, no, it should be Liang Shaoling's family, is not an ordinary family. I wonder if he will miss this small mountain village after he recovers his memory.
There was also Bai Fenglai, who had come over earlier to ask about the other party's situation.
Even if she didn't say it explicitly, anyone could see that she was distracted, unsure of the depth of their relationship, or how it would develop in the future.
Alas, as expected, love is full of troubles. It is more free to have a heart as sealed as cement like her.
Uncle Gu really did as Gu Mingyue thought, holding the words from the big leader in his hands, he burst into tears.
He asked his eldest brother to find the best carving master, and after carving the words, he covered the stone with red cloth.
The unveiling ceremony was held on an auspicious day, which shows their sincerity.
Talking about carved stone.
Originally, they wanted to ask the Bai family to find a rare stone, but Uncle Gu disagreed and insisted on looking for it in the mountains, saying that that was their roots.
By coincidence, they found a strange black rock, nearly one meter high and three people wide, and weighed more than five hundred kilograms.
Fortunately, everyone’s attention has been focused on distributing food recently and they are not paying much attention to it.
In addition, Guangliang had been busy in the mountains recently. Gu Mingyue used the excuse of seeking help from the soldiers, but actually used the space to secretly place it at the entrance of the village.
Otherwise, it would take a long time to lift such a big stone...
