After hearing the whole story, Li Liqiang clicked his tongue in amazement.
"You mean... Nian Nian... she single-handedly took down three spies? And even preserved Academician Deng Wenguo's research data?!"
"Absolutely true!"
Ye Hui held his head high and said proudly, "Uncle Li, my sister is just that awesome!"
"A talent! A true talent! A prodigy sent from heaven!"
"Niannian! You...you little rascal, you've been hiding this for too long! You're more than just a lucky star! You're practically our country's guardian mirror, where demons and monsters have nowhere to hide!"
Li Liqiang's exaggerated analogy made Ye Nian'an burst out laughing.
"Uncle Li, you're exaggerating."
"Not an exaggeration! Not an exaggeration at all!"
Li Liqiang said with a serious expression, "Do you know how important Academician Deng Wenguo's data is? It's related to the development process of a cutting-edge weapon in our country! If it's lost, the loss will be incalculable!"
"Your contribution is no less significant than uncovering Wang Jianguo and his gang of parasites!"
Ye Nian'an and the others were shocked when they heard Li Liqiang's words.
They knew the information was important, but they never imagined it was this important! It was related to the development of the country's cutting-edge weapons!
Now that I've heard Li Liqiang say this, I realize that I underestimated the significance of this incident!
A look of immense pride flashed in Chu Yan's eyes.
He knew that his wife's actions this time were not only meritorious, but also made a huge contribution to the country and the people!
"Old Li, are you saying... that document is more harmful than Wang Jianguo and his gang's embezzlement and bribery? You know the inside story?"
Chu Zhenyuan couldn't help but ask.
Li Liqiang nodded heavily: "Old Chu, you're right! Wang Jianguo and his gang's embezzlement and bribery only harmed the country's economic interests at most."
"But if Academician Deng Wenguo's materials fall into the hands of the enemy, the losses will be incalculable! It may even affect the security and stability of the country!"
"If it weren't for Niannian this time, our country and our army would have suffered enormous losses!"
"Niannian, you have absolutely made a great contribution this time! You have made immortal contributions to the country and the people!"
Ye Nian'an felt a little embarrassed by Li Liqiang's words. She scratched her head and said modestly, "Uncle Li, please don't say that. I just happened to run into him, and the situation was urgent at the time, so I didn't think too much about it."
"What do you mean by coincidence?!"
Li Liqiang's eyes widened: "This is no coincidence! This is called being fearless in the face of danger, possessing both wisdom and courage! This is called being selfless and fearless in serving the country and the people!"
"Niannian, it's truly admirable that you have such courage and determination at such a young age! You not only saved the country, but also countless lives!"
"What you did is even greater than what we veterans who have fought on the battlefield have done!"
Li Liqiang's words commanded the respect of everyone present.
Ye Hui was so excited that his blood was boiling. He walked up to Ye Nian'an, gave her a perfect military salute, and said loudly, "Sister, you are my pride! I am so proud of you!"
Ye Nian'an smiled and returned the salute, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
"Alright, alright, stop standing and sit down."
Chi Xinyao greeted everyone with a smile, "Today is a good day, we should be happy!"
Everyone sat down again, but no one could calm down for a long time.
Li Liqiang looked at Ye Nian'an, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He knew that this young girl would become a rising star, illuminating the future path of China.
He picked up his teacup and said to Ye Nian'an, "Niannian, let me toast you! Thank you for your contributions to the country!"
"Uncle Li, you're too kind."
Ye Nian'an smiled, picked up her teacup, and clinked it against Li Liqiang's.
"Come on, everyone, raise your glasses and let's toast to Nian Nian together!"
Chu Zhenyuan also raised his glass and said loudly.
"Respectfully, Nian Nian!"
"Salute to the heroes!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
The atmosphere was incredibly lively, and the three little ones, who had been sitting quietly to the side, listening intently to the adults' conversation with their big, bright eyes, finally started to move around.
As the eldest brother, Dada was the most perceptive. He imitated the adults and pulled his younger siblings to stand in a row.
Then, with his short legs, he ran to the table and poured warm water into three small teacups.
"Mommy!"
Da Da, holding a small teacup, walked up to Ye Nian'an with a serious and earnest expression, like a little adult, and raised the cup high.
"You are our hero! You protected our country, you are the best mom in the world!"
Er'er followed closely behind, imitating his uncle Ye Hui, straightening his little chest and giving a not-so-standard salute, shouting in a childish but incredibly loud voice.
"Mom! Er'er wants to be a great hero like you when she grows up! We are so proud of you!"
Following her older brothers' example, San San raised her little water cup and nodded vigorously, expressing her admiration in the clearest words.
"Mom, great job! Have some tea!"
Three adorable little children expressed their highest respect to their mother in the purest and most sincere way.
This scene instantly touched the softest spot in Ye Nian'an's heart.
No military region commendation or leader praise could compare to the clumsy yet fervent admiration of the children at this moment.
Her eyes welled up with tears, and her eyes instantly misted over.
This is the highest honor she has received as a mother.
"Oh, my dear grandchildren!"
Chi Xinyao's heart melted at the sight, and she quickly wiped her eyes.
Chu Yan stepped forward and gently embraced the three children, along with Ye Nian'an.
He looked down at his wife's reddened eyes, his voice so gentle it could melt water: "Look, our children all know how amazing their mom is."
Ye Nian'an sniffed, smiled, and took the cup from Da Da's hand, then took the cups from Er Er and San San, and drank all three cups of tea.
"Thank you, my little ones, this is the best tea Mommy has ever had."
She put down her cup, kissed each of the children's little faces, and her heart was filled with immense happiness.
Seeing this heartwarming scene, Li Liqiang couldn't help but burst into laughter and gave Chu Zhenyuan a thumbs up.
"Old Chu, look at this! A hero's mother raised such sensible children! Your Chu family is so lucky, I, Old Li, am so envious!"
"Of course!"
Chu Zhenyuan usually disliked being proud or showing off, but he would flaunt his wife and daughter-in-law! He would be proud and show them off!
This is the greatest medal a man can win in his life!
Just then, a steady footstep sounded from the courtyard gate.
