The train finally started moving, and Yan Xiaonan took the little tiger out of the basket.
As soon as Grandma Yan saw the little tiger, she immediately knew it was the tiger king's cub and happily took it in her arms.
Yan Xiaoqiang looked at the tiger cub with great excitement: "Nannan, are you keeping this tiger cub at home?"
Yan Xiaonan shook her head. Under the Tiger King's training, the tiger cubs had become accustomed to eating raw food, and it would be too dangerous to keep them at home.
"Dad, I want to send it to Mushroom Mountain in Beijing."
Yan Xiaoqiang nodded. His daughter always had a purpose in everything she did, and he just needed to support her.
Fu Bao stared wide-eyed at the little tiger, wanting to hug it but too afraid to, so she could only tug at Yan Xiaonan for help: "Auntie, Auntie, I want to touch it."
In the end, he managed to hold the tiger cub in his arms, and not only that, he even slept with it that night.
Yan Xiaonan had been observing all along, and later realized that the little tiger really liked Fu Bao, so she was relieved.
Xuemei found it strange that the little tiger and Fubao were so close on their first meeting.
Yan Xiaonan guessed that the little tiger regarded Fu Bao as one of its own kind, since they were both cubs.
Yan Daqiang was already waiting at the train station. He was surprised to see the little tiger, but his eyes lit up when he learned that it was being sent to Mushroom Mountain in Beijing.
I was just about to hug the little tiger when it suddenly bared its little fangs, looking fierce as if to say, "If you dare hug me, I'll bite you to death."
Everyone was confused, but Yan Xiaonan knew that her uncle's aura was too fierce, and the little tiger felt there was danger.
On the way home, Yan Daqiang gave Yan Xiaonan a surprise: the test voyage was a great success, and they were waiting for the Ye family to return and present the award.
Yan Xiaonan also began to feel excited; the Ye family's hard work over the years had finally paid off.
Looking at his beaming niece, Yan Daqiang began to ponder what gift he should give her for her wedding.
Grandma Yan was also happy. Now that the little guy from the Ye family was back, could he marry Nan Nan? Then could she hold little Nan Nan in her arms?
***
After Ye Chenming and his team launched their submarine, it performed exceptionally well in all aspects, and all the data indicated that their research and development was a success.
Ye Ren, along with Ye Huili, Ye Chenming, and a group of scientists, were excitedly preparing to return home.
Ye Chenming sat alone at the table, concentrating on writing and drawing, but he was never satisfied.
The eight-courtyard house had already been renovated. This courtyard house belonged to Nannan, and he had married into it as a son-in-law.
Since that's the case, then we need to prepare the dowry. We can bring up those boxes under the plane trees in Shanghai now.
Those boxes were filled with jewelry, famous paintings, jade, and even several pairs of antique vases.
There are also many good things in the basement of that house in the suburbs, including a coffin made of Phoebe zhennan wood.
That was prepared by Ye Ren's grandfather after Ye Ren was born. In wealthy families, a coffin would be prepared for the eldest son and grandson as soon as they were born.
These things need to be secretly transported to the capital before the wedding. As for how much to bring, Grandpa Ye Ren has the final say.
With this generous dowry and military medals, he can stand tall by Yan Xiaonan's side, love her, and protect her for the rest of his life.
Ye Chenming became happier and happier as he wrote, and his visions grew. He could already see himself holding his child and taking a walk, with Yan Xiaonan holding his arm and smiling happily.
Seeing his wife and children's smiles filled him with immense satisfaction, until he heard a pig squeal and realized that it was his own voice.
She quickly covered her mouth with her hand and realized that her hand was wet. It turned out that her saliva had leaked out. Luckily, Nan Nan wasn't there, or she would have been laughed at.
The submarine finally surfaced, entered the harbor, and revealed its magnificent true form.
The dock was already packed with people waiting to greet them, including reporters from all over the world.
As soon as Ye Ren and his group got ashore, they were almost blinded by the crazy flashing lights.
The authorities deployed a large number of armed forces to ensure Ye Ren and his group's safety, so the reporters could only manage to get close to them, except for capturing footage of them coming ashore.
The reporters, who had been waiting for so long, were unwilling to leave just like that, so they started taking pictures of the submarine.
Some reporters had the audacity to try to board the boat to take pictures, but they were driven away by the guards. Without orders, no one was allowed to board the boat.
Nevertheless, every newspaper carried the latest news on its front page: the new generation of submarines had finally been unveiled, marking another step forward for China's armed forces.
Photos of Ye Ren and his colleagues also appeared in the newspaper, with bold black font describing the outstanding contributions of a generation of scientists to the country and its people.
Yan Xiaonan held the newspaper, her eyes stinging with tears. She knew all too well how Ye Chenming and the others had worked day and night to overcome one obstacle after another.
"Auntie, Auntie, Uncle Ye Chenming called!" Liu Jin ran out and shouted loudly.
Yan Xiaonan rolled her eyes at Liu Jin. They weren't even married yet, so why was he calling him "uncle"?
"Nan Nan, it's me. How are you? I miss you so much."
Yan Xiaonan picked up the phone, said "hello," and a familiar voice came through the receiver.
"I'm fine. How are you? Are you feeling alright? How are your dad and grandpa? How are they?"
"Everything is great, Nan Nan. I'll be back in three months, and I'll come back with my medals to propose to you."
Yan Xiaonan nodded repeatedly, then suddenly realized that he couldn't hear nodding over the phone, and agreed again.
Ye Chenming was overjoyed; the promise he had made could finally be fulfilled.
"Nan Nan, after I propose to you, will you come with me to Shanghai? I want to get some things as part of your dowry."
Yan Xiaonan was startled. How could she really let Ye Chenming become a live-in son-in-law? Ye Chenming was the only descendant of the Ye family.
"Chenming, could you give me those things as a betrothal gift?"
Ye Chenming's heart softened like water: "Nan Nan, I don't care whether you marry me or I live with you. What I care about is you. As long as I'm with you, I'm willing to do anything."
Yan Xiaonan repeatedly agreed, saying that as long as two people are in love and have a deep connection, what does it matter whether they marry or not?
Yan Ai Dang has already started getting busy. The award ceremony will be held in October, and Nan Nan and Ye Chenming's wedding will also be held in October.
Not only did Yan Ai's party get busy, but everyone started searching the whole city for gifts, as these were the hardest gifts to give to the newlyweds.
Yan Xiaonan watched them running around with amusement, then solemnly announced that she and Ye Chenming were getting married and would not accept any gifts from anyone.
All you need are sincere blessings, warm greetings, beautiful smiles, and laughter.
These days, Cuihua has neglected even her fashion store. She has gathered up her savings of bed sheets, quilts, and brocade covers to sew a wedding quilt for Yan Xiaonan.
There are specific requirements for who sews the wedding quilt; only a person with five blessings can do it, and Grandma Yan was chosen.
