Just then, Captain Gao and Zhang Branch Secretary heard that another jeep had arrived and that it was military personnel, so they also came out to greet them from the brigade headquarters.
Luo Qiao introduced Yuan Weicheng to them, "Uncle, this is our Qingshan Village's Zhang Branch Secretary and Captain Gao."
Then she turned and introduced, "This is my Uncle Yuan Weicheng."
Yuan Weicheng took out a box of Daqianmen cigarettes, opened it, and handed one to the Branch Secretary and the Captain. He then distributed some to the uncles and grandpas nearby and said, "Thank you for taking care of Luo Qiao while she has been in the village. I will come to visit you later."
Zhang Dezheng laughed, "There's no trouble at all, Luo Qiao is quite capable herself."
The Captain said, "It's getting late; you should hurry on home."
Luo Qiao gratefully replied, "Then we'll be going now; it's time to cook at home."
