Chapter 76 Commendation (Eight Updates, Please Subscribe!! 78)

"Lao Lu! Come on, clean the windows. Xiaoyu, have you cooked the pork ribs? Where's the garlic?"

Early in the morning, Lu Cheng's family started busy in the three rooms and one living room.

This busyness has lasted for two days. Today is the third day.

After the middle-aged man in military uniform left, the three of them hugged each other and cried for a while, and then they were full of excitement and joy. As for that little bit of anger, it has long since disappeared.

Just like Xiao Ma said, no matter what, the fact that Lu Ming is still alive is not more important than anything else? You can let go of the things that cause trouble for those people, and be happy now without delay.

After two consecutive days of general cleaning, the home and exterior looked brand new. Those posthumous photos, incense burners and other things have been thrown away long ago.

Today is the most important day. Because the security guard Xiao Ma had already called and said that a commendation meeting would be held in the community this morning. At the same time, Lu Ming's return would be announced and the news that Lu Ming was not dead would be conveyed to the public.

——According to Xiao Ma, the commendation meeting was originally going to be held in a certain auditorium. However, considering that this matter should be publicized as much as possible, it was finally decided to hold it in the community where Lu Ming's family lives.

According to the arrangement, the commendation meeting will be completed in the morning, and Lu Ming can go home before 12 noon.

Because of this, the family was busy early in the morning. Li Guizhi was like a general, directing Lu Cheng and Lu Yu to keep busy. One is peeling garlic, the other is peeling onions, the other is cleaning the windows, and the other is mopping the floor. As for herself, she has taken on the most important task.

Cook.

Lu Ming has loved eating her cooking since he was a child.

For this lunch, she prepared enough ingredients for seven dishes. Every one of them is Lu Ming’s favorite.

At this moment, a motorcade slowly drove from outside the community and stopped next to the square in the community.

In the square, a stage has been set up. There are still some staff busy making final preparations.

The car door opened, and some local government leaders, heads of the security department, and some staff in military uniforms came onto the stage and took their seats behind the podium. Several staff members hurried to Lu Ming's house.

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Li, Sister Lu, here we come, the commendation meeting is about to begin!"

"Coming? Lao Lu, Xiaoyu, hurry, hurry!"

The three of them wore new clothes they bought specially and hurriedly left home together.

At this moment, many people had gathered next to the stage in the small square. There are also many media reporters aiming at the stage and podium with long guns and short cannons.

Under the escort of the security guard, the family of three squeezed into the crowd and sat down at the seats prepared in advance.

After all preparations were completed, the host took the microphone and began to speak.

"Today, we solemnly hold this commendation meeting to commend Comrade Lu Ming for his outstanding performance in a top-secret mission!"

"Due to the confidentiality system, I cannot reveal too many details about this mission. But what is certain is that this is a very urgent and important mission! In the emergency situation, after receiving the emergency call, Comrade Lu Ming, in line with his feelings as a member of the human race and his noble sentiment that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, accepted the call without hesitation, devoted himself to the task, and completed the task brilliantly! "

The people on the podium took the lead in applauding. The onlookers also began to applaud.

"For this mission, Comrade Lu Ming sacrificed a lot. For this mission, the Lu family also sacrificed a lot. In order to ensure absolute confidentiality, at that time, the world government could only plan the 'Comrade Lu Ming faked death' incident to eliminate the outside world's suspicion of Lu Ming. Comrade Lu Ming's father, mother, and sister all suffered great grief for this reason."

The camera began to turn to the three people of the Lu family.

Lu Yu's eyes had already turned red, while Li Guizhi was wiping tears.

"Comrade Lu Ming clearly knows how much impact his sudden 'death' will have on his family. But in order to complete the task, he..."

On the rostrum, the host was speaking passionately. Talking about the depth of love, countless people in the audience had red eyes.

"Now that the mission has been successfully completed, Comrade Lu Ming can finally go home!"

"I received a notice that Comrade Lu Ming's motorcade is still about five minutes' drive from here. Now, let us wait together and welcome Comrade Lu Ming's arrival!"

The anxious waiting was only five minutes, but it seemed as long as a century. When the motorcade finally arrived, the crowd surged forward and the camera was pointed over there.

More than a dozen people in military uniforms got out of the car first, surrounded a car and blocked the surrounding crowd. After a while, the car door opened, and Lu Ming finally walked out with a big red flower on his chest.

"Welcome Comrade Lu Ming!"

Everyone on the podium stood up and applauded, and the crowd cheered enthusiastically. However, Lu Cheng, Li Guizhi, and Lu Yu had red eyes and could hardly walk.

Three staff members supported them and slowly walked towards Lu Ming.

Looking at his parents and sister, Lu Ming's eyes turned red unconsciously.

"Dad, mom, sister!"

Lu Ming cried out sadly, unable to bear it any longer, he rushed to the three of them and hugged them tightly.

Those sufferings and sorrows are finally over, gone.

The four of them burst into tears together.

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back..."

After being comforted by everyone, the four of them cried for a long time before they slowly calmed down and went on stage together. The host was still telling the story with great emotion. On the podium, the heads of various departments handed over a big red certificate of honor. After a long busy and lively time, this commendation meeting was finally over.

During this process, Lu Ming saw many people. There were his relatives, friends, mentors, classmates, etc., and there were also many people he didn't know.

He knew that with this commendation meeting, he finally announced his return openly.

From then on, he would no longer be treated as a ghost when he appeared in front of them again.

There were many people he knew, but when he finally returned home, those people were very tactful and didn't disturb the reunion of the family of four.

"Xiao Ming, sit down quickly, mom will cook, the ingredients are ready, and the meal will be served in a while."

Li Guizhi went to the kitchen to work, Lu Yu went to help, and Lu Cheng looked at Lu Ming with a serious face, which made Lu Ming feel uneasy.

He was a little worried that his father would ask him about the "secret mission".

There was no secret mission at all, it was just an excuse.

If his father really wanted to ask him, he could only refuse by keeping it secret.

Lu Cheng thought for a while, but what he said was beyond Lu Ming's expectation.

"Xiao Ming, I'm afraid that many people will ask you about the secret mission during this period. People are curious, and they like to ask even if it has nothing to do with them. But no matter who asks you, even your mother, your sister, or me, you must remember to keep your mouth shut and remember not to leak secrets."

"Yes."

"The government released you because they believe you can keep the secret, so don't get in trouble."

"Dad, I know."

"Here it comes! Black bean sauce spare ribs!"

Lu Yu shouted, and placed a plate of fragrant spare ribs on the dining table. After that, one dish after another, although ordinary in appearance, but with a taste that matched the memory very well, was placed on the table.

Looking at these dishes, Lu Ming felt the urge to cry again.

"Eat, eat everything! Xiaoming, you've lost weight, eat more. If you like it, mom will cook it for you every day!"

"Okay, eat!"

The house that was full of gloom before was finally full of light at this moment.

After a meal, Lu Cheng mentioned Lu Ming's studies.

"How did the school handle it? The government has to take care of it, right?"

Luc Ming was just about to talk about this.

"Dad, Mom, Sister, it's like this. Because of the previous mission, I have to work in a government department in the future. At school, my tutor said that I can graduate early."

Yes, after learning in detail about the work content of Zhang Dingshan and three others from the 13th Operation Team 2 of the Planetary Security Bureau, as well as the treatment, danger and other related aspects, and after a mandatory three-day consideration period, Lu Ming finally officially joined the Operation Team 2.

"Which government department?"

"Uh... confidential."

"Confidential? No!" Li Guizhi immediately exploded: "Secret? You can't go! If I fake your death again, will our family still live! Xiaoming, be obedient, quit that job, and find any other job. If you can't find a job, just stay at home and mom will support you!"

Lu Yu also looked at Lu Ming with a look of disappointment: "Lu Ming, you should be more careful! Do you know that you almost couldn't see our mom!"

Lu Cheng's face was solemn and he said nothing.

Lu Ming had expected the reaction of his family.

He hurriedly said: "Listen to me. This confidentiality is different from the previous confidentiality, different! I can come back at any time, and I can basically call at any time, but the content of the work is confidential! It's just an ordinary government job! Mom and Dad, didn't you tell me to take the civil service exam before? Now I can become a civil servant without taking the exam, why are you still unwilling?"

After Lu Ming's explanation, the three finally calmed down a little, but they were still full of suspicion.

"Can you really come back anytime?"

"Just ask for leave in advance."

"Can you contact me anytime?"

"Just don't come when I'm asleep!"

"Um...what's the treatment?"

"Formal civil service system, five insurances and one housing fund, public medical care, paid vacation, monthly salary of 20,000, 15 salaries! There are also task subsidies and task rewards in between, and the annual income starts at 500,000, which is perfect!"

The real treatment of the second action team is much better than this. But Lu Ming was afraid of scaring his family, so he didn't tell the whole story.

"Ah!"

Lu Yu screamed, full of envy.

She failed to prepare for the civil service exam before, and then found a job, which was considered an ordinary white-collar worker. Later, Lu Ming passed away, and she resigned and went home to accompany her parents. Now she is unemployed.

Li Guizhi looked more and more anxious: "Do you want to divide the house?"

"Mom! What era is it now? What are you thinking?"

Lu Ming's face was full of helplessness.

Li Guizhi smiled awkwardly a few times.

Seeing the reactions of his parents and sister, Lu Ming knew that he had passed this level.

"Mom, Dad, Sister, this is what I think. Didn't the government give a subsidy of 3 million before? I plan to give part of this money to you. Sister, haven't you always been interested in flower art and wanted to open a flower shop? Now I, your brother, have money. I support you. Don't be a social animal. Open a flower shop!"

"Ah! Xiaoming, you are so good to me!"

Lu Yu rushed over and hugged Lu Ming. Lu Cheng coughed, and Lu Yu let go, but still couldn't suppress the joy on his face.

"The remaining money, use it to pay the down payment and buy a big house, so that our family can live more comfortably. Also, Dad, Mom, don't open that fruit shop, you work so hard but still don't make much money, I will support you in the future, you can travel when you have time, play mahjong and cards, and enjoy your old age."
