The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

In the afternoon, because they were going to Haicheng the next day, the transport station let the drivers go home early.

When parting with Zhou Zhiming, Li Kaixin reminded him again before turning to walk home.

Since it's the weekend, neither of my parents is at work.

Li Kaixin had just pushed open the gate of the courtyard house at No. 93.

Qin Xiuli, the mother who was chatting with Aunt Sun and Aunt Zhao in the front yard, spotted him at a glance.

So he immediately stopped talking, walked quickly to Li Kaixin, looked at Li Kaixin's hand, and saw that she was only holding a rolled-up piece of paper, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her mother Qin Xiuli's expression, Li Kaixin smiled and asked, "Mother, what are you looking at?"

"What do you want to see?"

The mother, Qin Xiuli, lowered her voice and said irritably, "I'm afraid you'll bring back chicken and duck eggs again. There are dozens of kilograms of eggs piled up at home now, and we can't even finish them all. It's worrying me."

Li Kaixin gave an embarrassed smile and spread his hands: "This time it's really gone, Mother."

It turns out that ever since Li Kaixin started bringing back chicken and duck eggs from the secret space, he has been bringing back more than ten kilograms almost every day.

At first, Qin Xiuli, the mother, was quite happy, since chicken and duck eggs were considered real nutritional products these days.

She first sent some to her grandparents' home in the countryside, and then shared some with her neighbors.

But later, as the number of eggs in the house piled up, her eyes started to look strange. Every time she saw Li Kaixin come back with eggs, she felt a little scared.

These days, we don't dare sell too many of the eggs at home, and we can't possibly eat them all, plus we're afraid they'll spoil if we leave them too long.

These days, the family has to eat four or five eggs every day.

Li Kaixin didn't pay much attention at first, just brought them home, since the chickens and ducks in the secret space could lay dozens of kilograms a day anyway.

It wasn't until yesterday, when his father, Li Mingde, spoke to him privately, that Li Kaixin realized that this was indeed a bit of a waste.

So I've decided to stop bringing things home starting today.

At this moment, Qin Xiuli, Li Kaixin's mother, noticed the rolled-up piece of paper in Li Kaixin's hand: "By the way, Kaixin, what are you holding?"

"The certificate? It's the one I mentioned last time for the act of bravery!" Li Kaixin said with a smile, handing the certificate to her mother.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiuli, the mother, beamed with joy, her voice unconsciously rising slightly: "Really? Let me see!"

He then took the certificate and carefully opened it.

She originally thought that after more than ten days, the matter might be forgotten.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhao and Aunt Sun, who were standing nearby, also came over out of curiosity.

Just now, when they saw Qin Xiuli hurrying to greet them, their eyes hadn't left this side.

"Oh my goodness!" Aunt Zhao exclaimed first, followed by Aunt Sun's exclamation.

Although they didn't know many characters, they could still recognize the two big characters on the certificate of merit.

This shout attracted the attention of the other neighbors in the courtyard, and soon a group of people surrounded them.

Then, Wang, who could read, read the contents of the certificate aloud, and the crowd around gasped in astonishment.

The contents of the document, which described how they assisted the police in apprehending fugitives, truly shocked them.

Immediately following was a chorus of praise directed at Li Kaixin and her mother, Qin Xiuli.

Seeing this, Li Kaixin knew that he had achieved his goal.

This kind of thing needs to be known by those around you, otherwise, if others see it later, they might think it's fake.

Upon returning home, Qin Xiuli, the mother, immediately pasted the certificate of merit onto the wall of the main room, where it could be seen as soon as one entered.

Around six o'clock in the evening, people who had gone out of the compound returned one after another, and the news that Li Kaixin had received a certificate of merit for his act of bravery spread quickly.

"Big brother! Big brother!" Before the kitchen door was even opened, Li Kai's excited voice came from outside.

Li Kaixin, who was helping her mother Qin Xiuli in the kitchen, looked up and saw her younger brother Li Kai rushing in excitedly, followed by their father Li Mingde, who had just entered the house.

Li Kai, the younger brother, ran up to Li Kaixin and asked eagerly, "Big brother, where's your award certificate? Let me see it!"

"It's posted on the wall of the main room, go take a look."

Mother Qin Xiuli turned her head and added, "You can look, but you can't touch it. Be careful not to break it."

"Okay, Mother!" Li Kai replied, then turned and ran towards the main room.

The father, Li Mingde, did the same. He greeted Li Kaixin, his wife, and Xiaoxiao, who was tending the fire, and then turned and walked towards the main house.

He also wanted to see the certificate with his own eyes.

Li Xiaoxiao, the younger sister, played in the backyard at Liu's house all afternoon. Li Kaixin and her mother, Qin Xiuli, returned home early, not long after they arrived.

As soon as the food was served, Li Kai, the younger brother who had been excitedly looking at the certificate, suddenly looked dejected.

Looking at the plate of scrambled eggs on the table, he couldn't help but mutter to his mother, Qin Xiuli, "Mom, why are there eggs again?"

"You're not satisfied with just having eggs to eat? You're being picky!" Mother Qin Xiuli said angrily as she brought the last dish to the table.

Seeing their mother's displeasure, younger brother Li Kai quickly explained, "Mom, that's not what I meant. It's just that we're really tired of having eggs at every meal. Can we try something different tomorrow?"

Looking at his mother's expression, he added, "Plain cabbage is fine too."

Although her younger sister, Li Xiaoxiao, didn't say anything, she stared intently at her mother.

"No!"

The mother, Qin Xiuli, refused, but her tone softened: "However, we can have cabbage and eggs tomorrow."

She had no choice; those dozens of kilograms of eggs at home, if she didn't eat them quickly, it would be a waste if they went bad.

After saying that, she glanced at Li Kaixin helplessly.

Li Kaixin could only pretend not to see it and eat with her head down.

The father, who was standing to the side, didn't say anything, but instead asked Li Kaixin, "Kaixin, your house is all renovated now, when are you planning to move to the neighboring yard?"

Li Kaixin put down her chopsticks, looked up and replied with a smile, "Let the new house air out first to get rid of the smell. I'll wait a few more days."

The house in courtyard number 94 was renovated a week ago after the final payment was made, but Li Kaixin has not yet moved in.

Thinking about tomorrow, he continued, "Oh, right, Dad, Mom. I have to go on a long-distance trip again tomorrow."

"Where are you going? How long will you be gone? Your father and I will get ready for you in a bit," Qin Xiuli, the mother, immediately chimed in.

"Going to Haicheng is a short trip this time, I should be back in about five days," Li Kaixin replied.

"Okay!" Mother Qin Xiuli nodded, then added, "But Kaixin, you still need to be careful on the road."

This time, Qin Xiuli, Li Kaixin's mother, wasn't too worried about him driving long distances.

After dinner, she and her husband discussed and packed the things Li Kaixin needed to take on the road.

Li Kai, the younger brother, took advantage of the time before going to bed to dash out and find his friends in the yard to brag about his older brother's award.
