Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 804 - 802, Bonus
Chapter 804: 802, Bonus
Glancing at everyone present, Yhan Zhan continued, "Protecting the country, protecting the people, is our responsibility and mission as Guard Members. Therefore, this honor belongs to every Guard Member present!"
"Clap clap clap!" Warm applause filled the room once again, even louder than before.
Everyone present looked at Yhan Zhan with intense ardor, and each face wore a shade of excitement.
Watching this scene, Lin Helian couldn’t help shedding tears, "This guy really knows how to speak." Previously, in her eyes, her husband was a man of few words. This time he returned, he had changed a lot. It seems that time and experience truly can change a person. However, she liked this change in him very much.
"Comrade Yhan Zhan has spoken well! Next, I will personally present the Medal of Honor to Comrade Yhan Zhan." Bai Tinggu took a medal from a tray held by a young soldier, stepped forward, and pinned the medal on Yhan Zhan’s chest.
"Thank you, sir!" Yhan Zhan saluted Bai Tinggu.
"Continue the hard work!" Bai Tinggu smiled, patted Yhan Zhan on the shoulder, and returned to his original position.
Taking a document envelope from a young soldier, he looked towards everyone and said, "Comrade Yhan Zhan’s performance was exceptional, and he completed the mission gloriously. The Guard unanimously decided to promote Comrade Yhan Zhan by one rank and also provide a certain cash award."
Again, everyone clapped, looking at Yhan Zhan with eyes filled with envy. However, they all understood that such rewards were not easy to come by, they were earned through risking one’s life.
After handing over the document envelope to Yhan Zhan, Bai Tinggu addressed the crowd, "Comrades also have to work hard, the next one to receive the honor could be any one of you."
The applause thundered, and every soldier’s face was filled with fighting spirit and anticipation.
Watching Yhan Zhan walk down, Lin Helian’s tearful face broke into a proud and brilliant smile. This man was her man! Her happiness for this lifetime!
Yhan Zhan smiled at Lin Helian and handed her the document envelope, "Take this bonus." She had suffered too much for him, and in the future, he would definitely treat her well and not allow her to suffer the slightest grievance.
"Mhm!" Lin Helian reached out to take it, her smile growing even more resplendent.
As the award ceremony concluded, everyone left the venue, and soon the surroundings were empty.
Lu Hanmo and Luo Shu withdrew their gaze, exchanged a smile, and stood up to leave.
"Let’s go back," Yhan Zhan said, reaching out to hold Lin Helian’s hand.
"Okay!" Lin Helian nodded shyly, not withdrawing her hand this time.
Hand in hand, the two walked home. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"I heard Centurion Yhan has been promoted to Chief. What great news!"
"Chief Yhan! Sister Helian! Congratulations to you both!"
"I always said Sister Helian was blessed. Look, isn’t it so?" Along the way, many Guard’s Wives greeted them.
Finally reaching home, Lin Helian heaved a long sigh of relief.
Seeing the document envelope in her hands, her eyes suddenly brightened, "How much is the bonus this time?" No matter the amount, with this bonus, the New Year would be much better. If the bonus was substantial, she planned to buy Yhan Cheng a new pair of shoes and new clothes. Other children had new shoes and clothes for the New Year, and if circumstances allowed, she didn’t want her child to miss out.
Yhan Zhan shook his head with a smile, "I don’t know, open it and see."
Lin Helian nodded and, full of anticipation, began to open the document envelope. When she looked inside, she saw a thick stack of money. She’d felt the thickness initially but didn’t expect it to be all cash.
Excitedly, she took out the stack of money, "There has to be at least a few hundred here, right?" It was the first time she had ever seen so much money.
"Should be," Yhan Zhan replied, also somewhat surprised. He hadn’t expected the award to be so substantial.
"I’ll count it," Lin Helian said, wetting her finger with saliva, then carefully began counting the money. With each bill, she grew more excited. With so much money, not only could she buy new shoes and clothes for Yhan Cheng, she could also buy some gifts for Luo Shu and the others.
"It’s five hundred!" After counting the last bill, Lin Helian was thrilled. She had never held more than a hundred in her hands before.
"That much!" Yhan Zhan was equally startled. Other Guard Members had received awards before, but at most a hundred. He had thought there would be around three hundred when he saw the stack, but there was so much more.
"With this money, we can have a good New Year this year. Tomorrow, I’ll send a hundred home; the rest will be for Yhan Cheng’s new shoes and clothes, and then I’ll go to the mall to buy some gifts for Captain Lu and the others. Having received their kindness, we ought to express our gratitude," Lin Helian explained her plans. Sending a hundred home this time should last them a couple of months. She planned to save the rest for emergencies, needing only to keep around a hundred and eighty on her.
"You decide," Yhan Zhan said with a smile.
Footsteps approached from outside the door, followed by the sound of keys unlocking it.
Lin Helian knew it was Yhan Cheng returning. To make it convenient for him, she had given him a key.
"I’ll go put the money away," said Lin Helian, already heading to the room. Tomorrow she’d send the money through the post office and deposit the rest; she only needed to keep a hundred and eighty or so for herself.
After she stowed the money and returned, she saw father and son chatting on the chairs. Lin Helian smiled and walked into the kitchen to get busy. She was truly content with such a life.
Luo Shu nestled in Lu Hanmo’s arms, chatting with him intermittently.
Lu Hanmo’s hand gently stroked Luo Shu’s protruding belly, his gaze tender as water while he fixed his eyes on Luo Shu in his arms, "Let’s spend the New Year in the Guard District, my parents will come over before the New Year." He had already called home in the morning, and his family didn’t want them to travel back and forth, especially since Shushu’s belly was already nearly seven months along.
Luo Shu nodded, "I’ve also told Xiao Zheng, he’ll spend the New Year with us." If only her parents hadn’t gone to Lan Star, it would have been even more lively.
"Okay," Lu Hanmo nodded with a smile. He had a good impression of Luo Zheng.
"Do you remember Ling Tianyu, the one I told you about?" Luo Shu asked.
Lu Hanmo thought for a moment, "The one who wanted to recruit you into their family? He hasn’t given up yet?" After Shushu told him, he had checked on the Ling Family’s background. The Ling Family had a high status in Jiangcheng and was a deeply hidden Ancient Martial Family.
