Chapter 131. Let's take Yu Songyan as an example...

Take Yu Songyan for example. He did get a watch, but he lost two small yellow croakers, ten silver dollars, and two lingzhi mushrooms!

Maybe I'll have to do laundry and cook in the future.

This kind of life is not enviable at all.

Working is better! Studying metals is more interesting.

He went back to his room to read.

Yu Jiajia and her sister came back with Yu Songyan. They ran into Yu Songchuan downstairs.

Yu Songchuan begged Yu Jiajia not to tell anyone about Xiaohuangyu and Yuan Datou, he practically wanted to tell Cheng Xiuying directly.

"Fourth sister, I beg you, please let me have some savings!"

If Cheng Xiuying finds out, Yu Songchuan's part will also be confiscated.

It's because Yu Songchuan is young! He's not an adult yet, so he doesn't have the right to save or control the property.

Yu Jiajia asked curiously, "What do you need gold and silver for? You can't spend them."

Yu Songchuan: "Although I can't spend it, I take it out and look at it from time to time, and that makes me feel at ease and secure." He shook Yu Jiajia's hand, "Fourth Sister, please have pity on me."

Yu Jiajia smiled and agreed: "Then where will you hide it? I can't carry it with me all the time."

Yu Songchuan: "Fourth Sister, don't worry, I definitely won't carry it with me. Fourth Sister, you should hide yours well too."

Yu Songyan and Yu Jiamin didn't care much; it didn't matter whether Cheng Xiuying knew or not. They wouldn't give Cheng Xiuying what they had.

Of course, Cheng Xiuying wouldn't want it either.

The four of them went upstairs together. Cheng Xiuying asked with a smile, "Fifth brother, what were you doing downstairs?"

Yu Songchuan: "I found a spacious place and practiced Baduanjin a few times. This house is great in every way, but the space is too small, and I can't move around freely."

Yu Jiajia: "Yes! My third sister and I practice the Five Animal Frolics in the morning, but we feel so restricted and can't move freely. I wish our family could live in a small villa with a big yard! We could even plant grapevines! In the summer, we would have an endless supply of grapes."

Cheng Xiuying agreed wholeheartedly: "A small villa is great! It's clean, spacious, and bright. When will our family be able to live in a small villa? When that happens, we'll make a big space in the backyard to exercise."

Yu Songyan and Yu Jiamin also fantasized about it, and it felt great.

Old Man Yu and Old Woman Yu longed to see what the villa would look like. There was a row of villas in the county government compound! Although they had never been inside, they had seen them from the outside, and they were truly magnificent.

Grandma Yu: "Does Chen Zhou live alone in the villa?"

Everyone was very curious.

Yu Jiajia didn't know either, and was equally curious. How happy must one be to live alone in a villa?

Grandma Yu: "It would be such a waste for him to live alone in a small villa."

Old Man Yu glared at Old Woman Yu, "What, you want to move in with us?"

Grandma Yu thought to herself, "That's really hard to say."

Cheng Xiuying then looked at Yu Songyan's watch and found that it was much better looking than her own. The watch face even had diamonds, which were particularly shiny and dazzling. This watch must be more expensive!

She laughed and said, "From now on, when you're looking for a partner, use this standard as a guide!"

Yu Jiamin: "This standard might be a bit difficult."

Cheng Xiuying really thought Yu Jiamin was clueless, there were plenty of people around her, "You're just blind."

Yu Jiamin: ...

Cheng Xiuying decided to offer some guidance, saying, "Yuanzheng is a good kid."

Grandma Yu immediately nodded: "Quite good!"

Yu Jiamin: ...

Yu Songyan touched his watch and smiled.

Cheng Xiuying didn't give Yu Songyan any further instructions. The second son was very clever; he knew what he wanted and would work hard for it.

It's quite late, everyone should wash up and go to bed.

The next day.

After opening her eyes, Yu Jiajia first checked in and received [Great Unity*10].

She rolled around on the bed happily.

Just opening my eyes every day earns me two months' salary—this feeling is absolutely amazing!

From outside came Yu Songchuan's boisterous voice, "Second brother, what are you cooking? It smells so good!"

He was overjoyed. Once he got home, he had delicious meat and vegetables every day, and he ate and lived a comfortable life.

Yu Songchuan and his third sister had just returned from their morning exercise.

Yu Jiamin entered the room and called Yu Jiajia to get up and practice the Five Animal Frolics.

Yu Jiajia rolled out of bed and did the Five Animal Frolics twice. She's gotten used to it now. Getting up and stretching her muscles and bones makes her feel comfortable all over.

After finishing the workout, I felt something was wrong, so I went to the bathroom and found out that I had started my period.

This person is in really good physical condition; there are no adverse reactions whatsoever.

The menstrual belts of this era are really inconvenient; they're not disposable, so you have to wash and dry them after use and reuse them. Yu Jiajia really wanted to take out the sanitary napkins stored in her space backpack and use them secretly, but figuring out what to do with them afterward was a hassle.

There are no sanitary napkins around these days!

Unless you destroy it after use, but destroying it is also a hassle.

She really didn't want to make a big problem out of such a small thing.

Let's use menstrual pads first.

She was still as lively and energetic as ever.

No backaches, no back pain, and no menstrual cramps!

May all girls have a comfortable period.

Breakfast was as plentiful as ever. Yu Songyan stewed mutton and offal soup and fried two kinds of steamed buns with mutton fat. He used more flour, so they were fluffy, soft and very fragrant. He also made two kinds of sweet and sour cold dishes.

This time, Yu Jiajia didn't need to bring the food; he brought the lovingly prepared breakfast to Qi Yan's house himself.

Yu Songchuan suddenly realized that the lavish breakfast his second brother had prepared yesterday wasn't made specifically for him; he was just benefiting from Sister Qi's presence.

But as long as you can eat it, that's the best!

Yu Jiajia added a spoonful of chili oil to the mutton and offal soup, and poured in a lot of vinegar. Just smelling it made it smell delicious!

I ate a delicious breakfast and went to work.

Comrade Cheng Xiuying started work today! She dressed herself up nicely and looked very energetic! She wanted to greet the new day with a fresh look.

Yu Jiajia was also very happy that she could go to work with Cheng Xiuying again today.

Yu Songchuan also came along; he wanted to join in the fun at the factory.

He didn't take a car; he just ran alongside it.

On the road, they encountered an old woman begging with a broken bowl. Yu Jiajia called for Cheng Xiuying to stop the car and put two cents and some banknotes into the old woman's bowl.

Obtain [Sugarcane*1 + Space Farm Fragment*1 (1/20)];

This was just an ordinary good deed, yet it somehow yielded fragments of a space farm!

Space farm!

The space farm she'd always dreamed of!

This morning she was worried about where to dispose of her sanitary napkins, but now she has a space farm! She'll have her own space from now on! She can eat whatever she wants and do whatever she wants!

She was so happy she almost cried!

Thank you, system! Thank you, time travel master! Love you all!

Yu Jiajia grabbed another handful of candy from the bag and put it into the old woman's bowl.

Cheng Xiuying thought Sibao was really kind, being so good to a strange old woman! Although she felt there was no point in helping an old beggar, she wouldn't stop Yu Jiajia. Without Yu Jiajia's kindness, this family wouldn't have undergone such a dramatic change.

On the contrary, she truly felt the benefits of being helpful and would also do good deeds within her ability.

Yu Songchuan also took pity on the old woman and gave her a handful of melon seeds.

The old woman was deeply moved: "You are all good people."

When she arrived at the factory gate, Cheng Xiuying could see a lively scene from afar. As soon as she rode her bicycle closer, the drum band and waist drum team started playing in unison, and the cheerful rhythm instantly ignited the atmosphere.

The workers on both sides cheered loudly: "A warm welcome to Deputy Factory Director Cheng!"

Cheng Xiuying felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears. She quickly got out of the car, and the workers warmly greeted her, surrounding her as they led her towards the auditorium.

The auditorium was already brightly lit and decorated, creating a grand and festive atmosphere. Reporters from the city and county raised their cameras, their lenses all aimed at the much-anticipated deputy factory director.

The host, Lu Lingyi, walked onto the stage with a smile, picked up the microphone, and announced the official start of the awards ceremony.

Today, the only protagonist here is Cheng Xiuying, who bravely threw a bomb to save the entire factory, disregarding her own life.

Lu Chenzhou, director of the county revolutionary committee, presented Cheng Xiuying with a first-class merit medal as the award presenter. In addition, she received a bonus of 200 yuan, and the prizes were also very generous, including a women's bicycle, a Zhongshan suit, and other rewards such as rice, flour, cooking oil, meat, eggs, and milk.

That lady's bicycle was red and looked particularly impressive!

Holding her certificates of merit, medals, and various prize money receipts, Cheng Xiuying's eyes welled up with tears. "Thank you to the organization, thank you to the leaders, it's all what I should do."

In addition, Yu Jiajia found the bomb and was awarded a second-class merit, a bonus of 100 yuan, and a pair of leather shoes, as well as rice, flour, cooking oil, meat, eggs and milk.

Yu Jiajia went on stage with a smile on her face. When Lu Chenzhou handed her the certificate, Sister Qi pinned the medal on her head. After Yu Jiajia gave her acceptance speech, she took a group photo with Lu Chenzhou and Sister Qi. She was very happy.

Yu Jiamin tracked down enemy agents and eventually captured Shen Huaishan, earning her a second-class merit and a reward of 100 yuan, the same prize as Yu Jiajia.

In addition, Liu Weidong, Lin Mei, Zhou Liang, Lin Mufeng, Zhou Wenbin, Director Cui and others were awarded a collective second-class merit, with each person receiving a bonus of fifty yuan and various non-staple foods as prizes.

Finally, everyone took a group photo together.

Next came the factory's commendation ceremony. Basically, everyone who participated received a certificate and a prize! Everyone's cheeks were flushed with excitement; it was such an honor!

After a lively morning, the commendation ceremony concluded amidst applause.

Yu Songchuan was extremely envious; why hadn't he been able to do it?

If he had been here, the first prize would definitely have been his! And his mother wouldn't have gotten hurt.

That would be a win-win situation for everyone.

Of course, he dared not say that; if he did, Cheng Xiuying would beat him to death.

Qi Yan comforted Yu Jiajia, "Based on your contributions, you deserve a first-class merit. However, your perception ability is classified as top secret, and all related information will be sealed. Therefore, it can only be publicly announced as a second-class merit. But the country and the people will remember it well. When the time is right, the Premier will personally give you the honor you deserve and the corresponding prize."

Yu Jiajia grasped Sister Qi's hand in return: "Yes, I understand~ The Prime Minister is protecting me!"

Qi Yan touched Yu Jiajia's hair.

Cheng Xiuying also said, "Sibao, I got this first-class merit all because of you."

Yu Jiajia said very solemnly, "Mom, it wasn't because of me, it was you who risked your life. You are a hero, my hero, the hero of the steel mill. I will never forget how you believed in me, how you grabbed the time bomb without hesitation! You were so great."

Cheng Xiuying smiled and said, "Four Treasures."

At noon, everyone ate together in the cafeteria. It was a celebration banquet for Cheng Xiuying.

What we eat isn't important; what matters is that today is Cheng Xiuying's shining moment!

The time bomb she risked her life to throw away made her who she is today.

Yu Songchuan looked at the bustling canteen, but alas, it had nothing to do with him! Yet it also did, for he was the son of heroes, the younger brother of heroes.

After dinner, Cheng Xiuying took Yu Jiajia to look at bicycles. The little red one was really shiny, similar in style to the little green one, both being Phoenix brand bicycles, but the little red one was newer and incredibly bright!

Cheng Xiuying pointed to the brand-new bicycle and waved her hand, "Sibao, this new bike is yours. You can ride it." She then handed the bike keys to Yu Jiajia.

Yu Jiajia patted Xiao Hong: "Thank you, Mom. From now on, let's ride our bicycles to work together!"

Cheng Xiuying grinned and said, "Okay."

Yu Jiajia tried riding Xiao Hong's bike. The new bike was really smooth to ride. In the end, she parked Xiao Hong's bike in the bike shed and locked it together with Xiao Lü's bike.

In the afternoon, Yu Jiajia went to work as usual. She was particularly enthusiastic about doing good deeds and quickly used up the remaining two good deeds she had to do for the day.

Obtained [Coca-Cola*12, + Space Farm Fragment*1 (2/20)], [Malted Milk Powder*1 + Space Farm Fragment*1 (3/20)].

Yu Jiajia couldn't wait to have a space farm!

Lin Mei came over and treated Yu Jiajia to candy. She's having a great time in both her career and love life!

In his career, he received a collective third-class merit award.

As for love, she went to see a movie and strolled in the park with Li Heyu yesterday, and they even secretly held hands, indicating that they have confirmed their relationship.

Yu Jiajia was shocked, "It's only been a few days?"

Is it that easy to find a partner these days?

Is Li Heyu so easy to win over?

Lin Mei: "He Yu said we met at the right time." She held Yu Jiajia's hand, "You set He Yu free."

Yu Jiajia: "Congratulations, Meimei! When are you getting married?"

Lin Mei blushed and said, "We are planning to hold our wedding on October 1st."

Yu Jiajia: "!!! Xiaomei, this is way too fast!"

Lin Mei: "I don't think it's fast at all. I wish I could get my marriage certificate tomorrow. And some people get married even faster. They meet once and then get their marriage certificate."

Yu Jiajia: "That seems true, I'm really happy for you!"

Her second brother and Sister Qi got along very quickly; they had only known each other for a few days, but they were already dating.

Lin Mei smiled and said, "I'm happy too. He Yu is so beautiful. The thought of spending my life with someone so good-looking makes me feel happy. Do you have time for lunch tomorrow? He Yu and I would like to treat you to lunch!"

Yu Jiajia: "Absolutely."

She's going to Beijing in early September, so she definitely won't be able to attend Lin Mei's wedding. I need to prepare a gift in advance.

After get off work in the afternoon, Yu Jiajia rode her little red bike and Cheng Xiuying rode her little green bike. The bikes were covered with the prizes the three of them had won that day. After receiving her prize, Yu Jiamin had to go back to work. She took the certificate and medal with her and left the prizes in Cheng Xiuying's office.

The mother and daughter rode home together on two brand-new women's bicycles, loaded with groceries. They were quite a sight to behold! Everyone who passed by couldn't help but take a second look.

I'm so envious!

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Grandma Yu and Grandma Yu coming down to greet me. Grandma Yu circled around Xiao Hong and said, "Oh my, this bike is so beautiful! I recognized you two riding back like this at a glance! Who else has two such impressive bikes?"

Old Yu also thought the bike was nice and looked very energetic while riding it.

After Yu Jiajia and Cheng Xiuying locked the car, they carried their things upstairs together.

Cheng Xiuying said, "Mother, have you sent the mutton, roe deer meat, and pheasant to my eldest brother's family?"

Grandma Yu: "I sent it over this afternoon. They said they wanted to come over tonight to celebrate your first-class merit. I didn't let them come. It's enough that they meant it. We have guests at home tonight, we don't have time to entertain them."

Director Lu, Chief He, and Qi Yan are definitely the most important!

Cheng Xiuying smiled and said, "It's more lively with more people."

Grandma Yu: "I don't think Yan Yan and Director Lu are fond of crowds."

He Yuanzheng doesn't seem to have any particular preferences.

Cheng Xiuying found the old lady increasingly endearing, and she smiled, saying, "Let's take our things and go home."

Grandma Yu had already prepared the side dishes and chopped the dumpling filling, ready to make mutton dumplings. In addition, she had been stewing roe in a pot all afternoon, and it smelled delicious.

Grandma Yu first served a bowl, letting Cheng Xiuying and Yu Jiajia have a little something to eat.

The roe meat was really delicious. Before stewing, the roe meat was caramelized with sugar and braised. Now it was tender and flavorful, and the mother and daughter quickly finished a bowl of meat.

Yu Jiajia repeatedly praised Grandma Yu's cooking, and Cheng Xiuying also chimed in with a few compliments.

Grandma Yu started talking about today's gossip. She said that after delivering meat to her eldest son's family in the afternoon, she also went to visit the grave!

The graves of Zhu Jinsong and others were dug up, and their urns containing ashes were missing. They were eventually found near a septic tank.

The ashes of these people were scattered in a septic tank.

Cheng Xiuying: "Although I had already guessed it, it was still quite satisfying to actually be thrown in. It's a pity that Zhu Jingsong only has one life, otherwise he would have died a few more times!"

Yu Jiajia nodded repeatedly, "Well done!"

Cheng Xiuying smiled and said, "Director Lu is smart, and his subordinates are smart and capable." After eating the roe meat, Cheng Xiuying also went into the kitchen to get busy. She quickly kneaded the dough and rolled out dumpling wrappers. Yu Jiajia took over and said, "I'll make dumplings!" She carried the dumpling wrappers to the living room, where Grandma Yu brought out a bowl of dumpling filling.

Yu Hongding also washed his hands and came over to make dumplings.

After Yu Songyan returned, he went into the kitchen to help. He could ignore everything else, but he would definitely make a few dishes that Qi Yan liked.

Lu Chenzhou arrived early, carrying two watermelons and a bag of grapes. Yu Jiajia invited him to make dumplings together and even showed him a fancy dumpling she had just made.

Lu Chenzhou: "It looks good." After washing his hands, he sat down next to Yu Jiajia and they made dumplings together.

There are so many different ways to make dumplings; Lu Chenzhou really learned something new.

Sunflower dumplings, four-happiness dumplings, wavy dumplings, bird dumplings, goldfish dumplings...

Lu Chenzhou was very interested, and Yu Jiajia smiled and said, "I'll teach you."

Others arrived one after another, and came to see all the different kinds of dumplings Yu Jiajia had made! They joined in making dumplings and chatting in the living room, creating a lively atmosphere. A large bowl of dumplings was quickly filled.

Cheng Yongping and Cheng Yongyi also came; Cheng Xiuying had sent the brother and sister.

After greeting Director Lu and Chief He, the two men didn't say much and just focused on their work.

Qi Yan wasn't very good at making dumplings either, so she and Yu Jiajia got together and learned to make fancy dumplings. As long as the dumplings were tightly wrapped and cooked through, they would taste good.

It doesn't matter if the wrapping isn't sturdy; the soup will taste even better if it's cooked until it's soft.

After cooking two dishes, Yu Songyan came out and sat down next to Qi Yan on a stool. Qi Yan then showed Yu Songyan a small steamed bun.

Yu Songyan also took a dumpling wrapper, made a small bun, and placed it next to Qi Yan's bun.

Qi Yan smiled.

The meal was exceptionally lively. After the meal, Yu Jiajia suggested going to the park, as she really wanted to collect the Space Farm fragments and wondered if there were any NPCs by the lake in the park who would give her love.

Of course, she went. Yu Jiajia drifted on the boat for two hours without encountering any NPCs who offered her love, and the number of fragments in the Space Farm did not increase at all.

Perhaps the previous two times were just coincidences.

However, boating at night is really fun!
