On the next day, the mayor of Lingxi Town personally led people to send a plaque to Song Xiuyan's house with a gong and drums. The plaque was titled " The Young Heroes ."
The villagers of the Song family village all came to watch. The mayor announced in public that Song's brother helped General Long Zhanyuan who was the backbone of the country yesterday. He came from the capital to visit an old friend in Lingxi Town. The mayor did not say that they saved him, but they only helped. So even if it was publicized, it won't affect General Long Zhanyuan's reputation. Then, the Mayor gave Song Xiuyan a thick envelope that contained a stack of money. The money was estimated to be over ten thousand dollars.
The villagers stared at the envelopes with extreme envy in their hearts. After the mayor and the people left, the villagers discussed among themselves: "Don't be jealous, they are risking their lives to save people. Song brothers use their lives to exchange the money."
