"Wow."
Down in the audience, An'an cried even harder.
"It's alright, you can go now." Li Jie smiled, a rare occurrence on her usually serious face.
Ran Jinnian quickly stepped off the stage, and as soon as she hugged An'an, the little one stopped crying.
Ran Jinnian: "......"
That naughty boy.
Zhou Hongying: "......."
The little guy must have done it on purpose.
"I hope everyone can be like Ran Jinnian, united and friendly in the family compound, and positive about life. She doesn't care about personal gains or losses; she is a role model for everyone to learn from."
As soon as Li Jie finished speaking, everyone applauded again.
"Alright, that concludes today's awards ceremony," Li Jie said before leaving.
Once she left, everyone dispersed.
"Jin Nian, let me see if this certificate is acceptable."
Zhou Hongying spoke.
“Sure.” Ran Jinnian handed it to her.
As soon as Zhou Hongying opened it, many family members gathered around.
"This is the certificate for outstanding military family member. It's really nice."
"Don't touch it randomly, you can afford to pay for it if you break it."
Everyone was chattering and making a racket.
"Alright." Zhou Hongying put the documents away. "Jin Nian, you keep them safe."
Ran Jinnian put the documents in her bag. When she saw An'an drooling, she quickly took out a small handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
"The little guy is so chubby and healthy, he's been raised so well."
An'an exclaimed, "Ah!"
"The little guy's eyebrows and eyes look like his mother's, and his mouth looks like his father's. He'll grow up to be a handsome young man."
"Ah ah," An An called out again.
"He's really strong; he's definitely soldier material."
"Ahhh."
An'an responded to every single one of her questions.
Everyone was amazed: "Could the little guy have understood everything?"
"He's so young, how could he possibly understand what we're saying?"
"Look at his eyes, they're so bright and lively, he looks so smart."
The more people looked at it, the more they admired it, finding the little guy incredibly adorable.
It's infuriating to compare yourself to others.
We're all women, look at her, she's only been with the military for a short time, and she's already living a very fulfilling life. She's gained the appreciation of her superiors and received the Outstanding Military Family Award.
Her child is fair-skinned and chubby, truly incomparable.
As everyone left the meeting room, female soldiers from the cultural troupe walked towards them.
They saw Ran Jinnian as soon as they saw her.
"That's Ran Jinnian. She looks really good in her clothes today."
"What kind of earrings is she wearing? I've never seen this style before, and I don't know where she bought them."
As soon as Yan Qingxue came out with everyone, she saw Ran Jinnian.
This woman's outfits always catch the eye; they're overly flamboyant, yet somehow they feel just right.
She heard everyone talking about Ran Jinnian's earrings, and she glanced at them subconsciously.
What is she wearing? What kind of earrings are those? They look so unique.
Yan Qingxue often went shopping in the county, but she had never seen these kinds of earrings in the department stores.
Where did she buy it?
"Go and ask."
"Go ask."
"If you don't go ask her soon, she'll leave."
The two female soldiers from the cultural troupe pushed each other back and forth, neither of them daring to step forward.
A female soldier walked past them and strode forward to greet Ran Jin, saying, "Hello."
