Su Wantang also took a sip of the orange juice. It was sweet and sour, and the freshly squeezed orange juice tasted great. It was much better than the orange juice sold outside that had added chemical ingredients.
"Is it good?" Lu Linchuan sat next to Su Wantang, looking at her with a smile.
"Mmm." Su Wantang smiled slightly, "It's sweet and sour, and tastes great."
"If it tastes good, I'll make you more juice," Lu Linchuan said.
Zhao Jing, standing to the side, thought to herself how generous Commander Lu was to his wife.
They eat whole fruits on the island; they wouldn't dare juice them.
With this method of juicing, two oranges can only be exchanged for one cup of orange juice.
She felt both admiration and envy.
"This tea is quite good," Chen Jianjun said, then took an envelope out of his pocket: "This is a small token of our appreciation, Commander Lu, Comrade Su, please accept it."
The envelope was bulging; I'd estimate there were at least five hundred yuan inside.
Su Wantang quickly pushed it back: "We have already accepted your gift, so we can't accept this one."
"It's necessary!" Chen Jianjun said firmly. "A child's life is more precious than anything else."
"Tang, please accept this! If you don't, my husband and I will be uneasy!" Zhao Jing hurriedly pushed the envelope in front of Su Wantang. "There is a total of five hundred yuan in here, but money is nothing compared to my child's life. If you don't accept it, we will feel uneasy and keep worrying about it."
Little DouDou squirmed in her mother's arms, babbling softly, her little hands reaching out towards Su Wantang, saying in a childish voice, "Pretty auntie, take it, take it."
"In that case, let's accept it," Lu Linchuan said.
Su Wantang had no choice but to accept it.
Seeing that she accepted it, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.
"DouDou seems to really like Comrade Su," Chen Jianjun said with a smile.
Su Wantang softened and gently pinched Dou Dou's little face: "Little guy, you scared Auntie so much yesterday."
DouDou giggled and grabbed Su Wantang's fingers tightly with her little hand.
"Oh, right." Chen Jianjun took out a red banner from behind him. "This was specially made by our unit. It says 'Good Comrade Who Acts Righteously and Courageously' on it."
Looking at the bright red banner, Su Wantang felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
This is much more valuable than money.
"Since it was given by the political commissar, we'll accept it." Su Wantang smiled. "Lin Chuan, you can hang the banner on the wall."
“Okay.” Lu Linchuan took the bright red banner, found a conspicuous spot to hang it on the wall. He was tall, so he didn’t need to stand on a stool; he could just reach out and hang it.
"Honey, do you think it's okay to hang it here?"
"Sure," Su Wantang said with a light laugh.
Lu Linchuan found some thumbtacks and a hammer, nailed the thumbtacks to the wall, and then hung the red banner on the wall.
The red banner stood out prominently in the room.
The banner presented by the political commissar was placed next to the banner that Su Wantang had received before.
Chen Jianjun naturally noticed the banner from before. He stood up and walked over, carefully examining the words on it. Seeing the gratitude from the police officers to Su Wantang, he looked at Su Wantang in surprise, "Comrade Su, is this banner also to commend you?"
"Mm." Su Wantang also stood up and nodded.
