At this moment, a villager who was staying at Jiang Nuan's house called out, "Jiang Zhiqing, Yang Zhiqing, you can go to the square to assemble. The brigade leader is preparing to distribute grain."

"I understand, Auntie!"

Jiang Nuan replied, then looked at Yang Lijuan: "Lijuan, don't get involved in this matter anymore. You should know that the Chu family is not to be trifled with, understand?"

"oh oh."

Yang Lijuan lowered her head, afraid that Jiang Nuan would see through her probing intentions.

Soon, everyone arrived at the square, ready for the annual distribution of grain.

Everyone's face was beaming with joy.

Unexpectedly, Ye Nian'an, who was at the center of the storm, not only did not avoid suspicion, but also brought the whole family to the square when she learned that Xiao Baozi was very interested in these things.

After all, Xiao Baozi is a child from Kyoto, and given her background, she must have been pampered and had never seen the distribution of grain in the countryside.

It's good to take advantage of this opportunity to broaden one's horizons.

The little dumpling was held in Ye Nian'an's arms, its bright eyes wide open, curiously staring at its surroundings.

Every now and then he would point to something interesting, chuckle, and whisper in Ye Nian'an's ear.

Many people cast surprised glances at Ye Nian'an and whispered among themselves.

It seems the rumors circulating this morning were true; the Chu family actually brought home a baby girl.

However, this girl is quite cute, no wonder the Chu family took a liking to her and raised her as their own daughter.

The Chu family completely ignored all of this.

Leng Zhaodi came to Ye Nian'an's side: "Sister Nian'an, this child..."

“I rescued her, and I’m taking care of her temporarily until her family comes to pick her up.”

One sentence immediately dispelled Leng Zhaodi's concerns.

"That's good, Sister Nian'an. There were some really unpleasant rumors circulating at the educated youth settlement this morning, so please don't take them to heart."

"The innocent will be proven innocent, and everyone will soon find out about this child's background."

"It's alright, today is a good opportunity."

Ye Nian'an had already informed the captain and wasn't worried about the matter at all.

At this moment, Jiang Nuan came over and said, "Dr. Ye, who asked you to take care of this little girl? She's so cute."

As Jiang Nuan was speaking, she tried to pinch the little boy's cheek, but the little boy refused and turned his head away, hiding in Ye Nian'an's arms.

"Oh, don't be afraid, I'm your good older sister."

"snort."

The little boy simply ignored Jiang Nuan and gave a cold snort as a response.

This made Jiang Nuan quite embarrassed.

Originally, I wanted to get closer to the Chu family by ingratiating myself with the little bun, but I didn't expect that brat would be so arrogant and not give me any face at all.

You'll find out soon enough.

Facing Jiang Nuan, Ye Nian'an remained indifferent and walked forward with the Chu family.

Jiang Nuan was still unwilling to give up and wanted to say something, but Chu Xin'er, who was passing by, spat at her: "Jiang Zhiqing, you should just give up those thoughts."

"Although you have indeed made a contribution in catching the murderer this time, you will still receive a reward from the brigade and the police station. Don't think that all the unpleasant things that happened between us in the past can be wiped clean."

"Comrade Chu Xin'er, that's not what I meant... I..."

Before Jiang Nuan could finish speaking, Chu Xin'er had already walked away.

Upon arriving at the square, Shi Minghui announced the grain delivery results of the Red Star Brigade this year, delivering a powerful and inspiring speech.

"Look at this honor roll! Our Hongxing Brigade delivered 187,000 jin of grain this year, exceeding the quota! What is this? This is the result of our more than 300 people carrying it on their shoulders and wielding shovels, working hard under the sun from spring planting to autumn harvest!"

"This achievement is a source of pride for our team!"

His impassioned words stirred the hearts of those below, and thunderous applause erupted.

After distributing the grain to each household, Shi Minghui changed the subject and started talking about the little steamed buns again.

"Here, I would like to give a special commendation to Comrade Ye Nian'an!"

"Yesterday, when our brigade went to the commune to collect grain, Comrade Ye Nian'an, disregarding the danger, discovered a little girl who had been abducted by human traffickers. With his resourcefulness and quick thinking, he rescued the little girl."

"And with the help of the police, the traffickers were apprehended in time, and Xiao Baozi was rescued. Because the traffickers had given Xiao Baozi drugs, she can no longer remember her family."

"The town's police station has notified her family, but due to the long distance, it will take about a week to arrive and pick up Xiaobaozi."

"During this time, we've entrusted Little Baozi to Dr. Ye's care and treatment. Such a noble act truly reflects the responsibility of the youth of our land!"

Everyone present fell silent at first.

Almost no one would have guessed that the little bun was actually rescued by Ye Nian'an from human traffickers.

Then, thunderous applause erupted.

How many merits has Ye Nian'an received?

They can hardly remember any of them!

For ordinary people, receiving a government award even once in their lifetime is considered a tremendous honor, something to be displayed on the wall and publicized.

As a result, Ye Nian'an had only been at the educated youth settlement for a short time when he received three certificates of merit, bringing honor to their brigade!

Not to mention the Chu family's numerous military achievements that were not stripped away!

For a moment, the villagers who had speculated that Ye Nian'an was infertile felt ashamed.

What kind of petty-mindedness do they have to suspect such a "hero" who brought glory to the brigade?

"This must be widely publicized! Comrade Ye Nian'an's composure and courage in the face of danger is a vivid portrayal of how we educated youth are rooted in the countryside and serving the people!"

"Dr. Ye is not only brave, but also incredibly meticulous! He not only saved the child, but also thought of keeping the traffickers calm and cooperating with the police in setting up a stakeout. We all have to give him a thumbs up for his quick thinking and resourcefulness!"

"Comrade Ye is a living Lei Feng of the new era! She embodies the spirit of serving the people through her actions! This kind of courage and helpfulness is exactly what we need to promote! Every production team should organize study sessions so that we can all take her as our role model!"

In an instant, countless praises came rushing towards Ye Nian'an.

The little boy blinked his innocent eyes and asked, "Sister, why are they smiling at you?"

"Because the little bun is so cute and pretty, they are all praising the little bun."

"hey-hey."

The little dumpling gave an embarrassed smile.

Because of the Chu family's outstanding performance, Shi Minghui personally rewarded Ye Nian'an and his family with twenty catties of pork.

Shi Minghui bought this out of his own pocket at the town's supply and marketing cooperative.

Although others were envious, they couldn't say anything, after all, Ye Nian'an had made such a great contribution, bringing glory to their brigade, and they received a lot more grain this year.

"Come on, little dumpling, the brigade leader just gave us so much pork. Didn't you want to eat dumplings? I'll make some for you."

Okay~
