As the sun sets, the lights at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau cast a hazy glow in the slightly cool air.

Yu Nian followed Yu Bai and walked out of the heavy glass door. When the evening breeze blew, he felt like he was alive again, but his hands and feet were still a little weak.

"Xiaobai, this time...thanks to you."

Yu Nian's voice was still hoarse, and he was relieved to have survived the disaster.

If it weren't for the crystal cores that my sister Yu Bai gave each of them...

Yu Nian simply couldn't bear to think about it.

Yu Bai turned his head to look at him: "Third brother, although you were in danger this time, the result is not bad. It was an unexpected success, and it can be considered another merit."

Yu Nian was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "I don't want to have this kind of 'merit' again next time. It's too scary."

When he thinks back now, his heart still throbs when he faces the police's scrutinizing gaze.

The next day, the sky was clear.

The city TV station's cameras were set up early in the conference room of the Public Security Bureau.

Yu Bai and Yunian stood side by side with calm expressions.

Without going through any formalities, the city bureau leaders personally awarded them the honorary certificates and medals for "heroic acts" and a bonus of 20,000 yuan.

Chen Minke, an important member of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection who was supposed to be present in person, unfortunately was unable to attend because he "needed to rest due to his injuries" and only sent his secretary to express his condolences and gratitude.

The camera faithfully recorded it all, and the reporter gave an enthusiastic narration on the side.

Just when everyone thought the commendation ceremony was about to end, Yu Bai took the microphone, and his clear voice spread throughout the audience:

“We are very grateful to the government for this honor and award.”

"My third brother and I have discussed this and have decided to donate the entire 20,000 yuan prize money to the Hope Primary School in our village to improve the children's lunches. I hope they can eat more and better."

Yu Nian nodded vigorously with a shy but sincere smile on his face.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was silent for a moment, and then broke into thunderous applause.

The leaders of the Municipal Bureau and the secretary sent by Chen Minke both showed approval in their eyes.

These brother and sister are not only brave, but also have great love!

This news quickly went viral after being broadcast on TV and reprinted by online media.

"The Yu brothers and sisters are so righteous! Donate all your bravery prize money!"

"The noble sentiments of this brother and sister from a poor family are worthy of learning from the whole society!"

For a time, the names of Yu Bai and Yunian spread throughout the village, county, and even the city, and the Yu family's reputation reached an unprecedented height.

When the news reached Yujia Village, it caused a sensation.

Neighbors and relatives all flocked to the Yu family's courtyard to watch the fun.

"Oh, Fengxia, you are so lucky! You have raised such a promising pair of children!"

"Yes, yes, Xiaobai and Yunian have been sensible since they were young, and now they are the pride of our entire village!"

"Who would dare to say that our Yujia Village can't produce talented people? Look, isn't this a living example?"

There was an endless stream of praise and envy, and every simple face was filled with a proud smile.

Zhou Fengxia stood in the middle of the yard, listening to these heartfelt praises, and felt relaxed all over. It had been so many years since her family had felt so proud!

She doesn't mind the crowds, it's all a glorious thing!

"Don't stand there, come inside and sit down, eat some fruit and drink some tea!" Zhou Fengxia was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and greeted everyone warmly.

Several tables temporarily set up in the yard were filled with fruits, snacks and hot tea, just like a small celebration party.

But that’s not enough!

Zhou Fengxia waved her hand and excitedly announced, "Tomorrow, I'll set up a feast in the village and treat everyone to a meal! It'll be a celebration for Xiaobai and Yunian!"

She has even contacted a famous restaurant chef in the county who is good at hosting wedding banquets. She wants to make the wedding banquet a grand one!

Yu Bai looked at his mother's joyful and radiant face, and his heart was filled with warmth.

Ever since my father passed away and my eldest brother became disabled, my mother has smiled much less and less.

The good things that happened recently finally relaxed her nerves that had been tense for more than ten years. This made her feel more relieved than any fame or fortune.

She was happy to see it happen, but...

"Mom," Yu Bai stepped forward, took Zhou Fengxia's arm, and said softly, "A celebration banquet is a good thing, but there are so many people in our village. If we hold such a grand celebration just for me and my third brother, I'm afraid it will arouse jealousy, which is not good."

Zhou Fengxia was stunned for a moment, then she realized what was happening, and her joy subsided a little: "Then...Xiaobai, what do you say we should do?"

Yu Bai smiled faintly. "How about this? Let's change the name. Let's say it's to thank the villagers for their daily care, and also take this opportunity to celebrate the birthdays of all the elderly people over seventy years old in the village. What do you think?"

Zhou Fengxia's eyes lit up: "This is great! This is great! It's lively, but it doesn't make us look too ostentatious!"

"Yes," Yu Bai nodded, "and I have another idea."

So, the next day, Yujia Village held an unprecedented grand "centenary banquet".

From the beginning to the end of the village, there were a total of 180 banquet tables, and the endless supply of delicious food made all the villagers satisfied.

Not only that, Yu Bai also specially invited several skilled barbers from the town to cut the hair of the elderly in the village for free before the banquet began.

She also contacted a familiar photo studio owner and took a spirited individual photo of each elderly person who was celebrating their birthday, promising to develop the photos and send them to each family.

What surprised the elderly people the most was that at the end of the banquet, Yu Bai gave each elderly person over 70 years old a pair of new shoes, which symbolized health, longevity and being down-to-earth.

The entire Yujia Village was immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, and gratitude and praise for the Yu family reached its peak.
