Yan Chi didn't expect that he wouldn't receive praise from his grandmother, great-grandmother, or aunt when he got home. Yan Daqiang and Xue Ying saw that the situation was not good, so they cleverly led Teacher Tan to the living room, while Liu Jin was caught by Yan Xiaonan and taken to the north room.
"Tell me, who told you to sing this song?" Yan Xiaonan asked angrily.
Liu Jin was a little scared. His aunt had never been so serious before: "Auntie, I wanted to sing it myself. Does that mean I can't sing it?"
Yan Xiaonan was somewhat unsure how to answer. It wasn't that she couldn't sing it, but rather that it couldn't be used for commercial purposes.
"Liu Jin, this song was created by someone who refuses to show his face. It's fine to sing it normally, but if you want to perform it in public, you must get his permission, otherwise it would be an infringement of his intellectual property rights."
"Auntie, I understand. I don't know what intellectual property rights are, but this is someone else's property, and I have to ask for their permission before I can use it." Liu Jin understood.
Yan Xiaonan nodded. This kid is smart. Since the child knows, there's no need to say more. Children need praise.
She patted Liu Jin's head and said, "Auntie congratulates you on your great performance today. My Liu Jin is going to be famous. But you can't run off by yourself anymore, okay?"
Liu Jin was a little depressed. He liked being famous, but he liked freedom even more. If he couldn't go out and have fun, he would rather not be famous.
Yan Xiaonan didn't care about this drama queen's dilemma. You can't have your cake and eat it too, you must understand that, huh, you're so spoiled.
Five-and-a-half jin grabbed Six-jin's hand and asked, "Six-jin brother, why don't you sing 'Only Dad is Good in the World'? Why don't you change the lyrics?"
Liu Jin was taken aback. He glanced at Yan Xiaonan, who felt she needed to have a heart-to-heart talk with Wu Jinban. She pulled Wu Jinban down to sit and asked softly:
"Five and a half pounds, tell your aunt properly, is your mother good to you?"
Wu Jinban thought for a moment and nodded: "My mother is pretty good to me, but she's a bit stingy and doesn't like to spend money."
"Then if you didn't have a mother, you would turn into grass," Liu Jin interjected.
“No, I have a dad, I have grandpa and grandma, I also have aunt and great-grandmother, I am still a treasure.” Wu Jinban said without hesitation.
Liu Jin was stunned. He imagined whether he would turn into grass if he didn't have his mother. It seemed unlikely, but his mother was very, very good, and he didn't want to lose her.
"Auntie, am I right?" Wu Jinban asked Yan Xiaonan.
Yan Xiaonan was in a terrible predicament. How could she answer this question? She couldn't very well say that her grandmother and aunt were separated by a uterus, and that only her own mother was the closest person to her. There were so many examples right in front of her; not only would Wu Jinban not believe it, but she herself didn't believe it either.
“Five and a half pounds, every family is different. You may think that without a mother, a baby won’t turn into grass, but many babies do turn into grass after losing their mothers. So, we need to broaden our horizons and not just focus on our own little plot of land, you know?”
Liu Jin understood that this song was written for mothers all over the world, not just for his own little family. Wu Jin was still a little confused, but he had one advantage: he listened to Yan Xiaonan. His aunt was definitely right.
Xuemei and Cuihua were still excited. They wanted to thank Teacher Tan, Xue Ying, Nan Nan, and of course Liu Jin himself for his hard work. Liu Jin's achievements today are inseparable from these factors.
But they could only express their gratitude in the kitchen. Cuihua and Xuemei searched the entire kitchen before they could prepare a table full of dishes.
Principal Tan never expected to get a free meal here today. Looking at the table full of dishes and smelling the aroma, he was indeed quite hungry.
Hearing the gurgling sound and seeing Dean Tan's somewhat embarrassed expression, Dongnan quickly came to the rescue, saying, "Teacher Tan must stay today. We'll treat you and Liujin to a celebratory dinner."
Dean Tan, who was initially a little embarrassed, smiled. No wonder Liu Jin was so sensible; it turned out he had taught him by example. It seemed he would have to have a good talk with his son and daughter-in-law when he got back. He couldn't be too strict with the child.
The celebration banquet was very lively, and everyone ate heartily. Dean Tan even drank too much and forgot about the song.
Fortunately, Liu Jin later explained to Dean Tan why his aunt couldn't sell the copyright, so Dean Tan had no choice but to back down. However, the song had already become popular in the streets and alleys.
Whenever someone asks about the origin of this song, those who saw the play will embellish the story and make it sound amazing. The story spreads like wildfire. Liu Jin is alright; he lives at school, but he doesn't go out much after returning home.
Yan Dongnan was ambushed and faced a series of problems, which made him start to avoid them. He went to work before dawn every day and didn't dare to come back until it was completely dark. They were too enthusiastic.
Fortunately, as time went by, those who were supposed to go to work went to work, and those who were supposed to go to school went to school, and Liu Jin and Dongnan's lives were finally able to return to normal.
Xu Da was also very quick. In just ten days or half a month, he found his comrades who were scattered in various places. These comrades were originally his friends, but unfortunately some of them had returned to their hometowns.
Upon learning that Xu Da had a job waiting for them, they agreed without hesitation, without even asking about the salary and benefits.
They had never heard of Mushroom Village, let alone gone there on their own, so they unanimously decided to meet in the capital.
Shen Shaohua also felt that an onboarding process was necessary first. Of course, these people had to withstand his scrutiny. Even Xu Da's friends couldn't escape being investigated.
Xu Da set up a temporary residence in the canteen, where all the people were former soldiers. They could endure even the harshest conditions, and it was only temporary for a few days. They could set off once everyone arrived.
Southwest and North South took Wu Jinban and Duo Duo with them, while Tang's mother took Tang Xiaoling on the train first. Wu Jinban was about to start school and couldn't wait for the rest of the group to travel together.
As for Tang Xiaoling, her fracture had not healed at all. When she learned that she was going back to her hometown in Southwest China, she immediately asked her mother to prepare her luggage, telling her to just be careful and not to hurt her leg.
As long as Xinan is around, Duoduo is as well-behaved as a toy doll, eating, sleeping, and playing as he pleases. He understands reason with her very easily, so we brought Duoduo back with us this time.
Yan Xiaoqiang made a phone call to Village Chief Ma, telling Bei Nan and the others that they were going back to the village to form a logging team. They needed to build some houses and warehouses in the back mountain area, and asked Village Chief Ma to prepare the people and materials.
Village Chief Ma immediately became excited. After confirming the time, he hung up the phone and went out. Ma Mingchun quickly followed him, asking, "Dad, where are you going?"
