At the beginning, he took his seven younger siblings to join Yi Zhonghai.

"Really? Those kids' toys? The government actually takes notice of them?"

"Master Yi, your family must have struck it rich! How much money did the government give you to buy that?"

"Yes, yes, we're all neighbors, we can't keep things to ourselves, tell us, we'll just have some fun."

"Old Yi, when your kids first came here, some people laughed at your family. Little did they know you'd struck gold."

......

Upon hearing this, the people in the compound started chattering again.

The envy in his eyes was almost palpable.

"What happened in your compound? So many cars have arrived. Those people look like high-ranking officials, right? Do you have some poor relative who's a big shot in your compound?"

These are the neighbors from the courtyard houses on the left and right. They just came to watch the drama unfold and don't yet understand what happened.

"Listen to me, everyone, the toys that Ding Yazi created have indeed caught the eye of the country."

"But we didn't get rich. My Yi family has been working class and peasantry for generations. How could we possibly get rich?"

"My son, Yi Zhongding, donated all those things to the country free of charge, just to support the country's construction and development."

"The people who just came are from the Ministry of Light Industry. They're here to register the toys and to present an award to my son, Yi Zhongding."

Yi Zhonghai raised one hand and said loudly.

"Donated? Really? Someone actually left money untouched?"

"I doubt it's worth much, right? Otherwise, why not donate it? Wouldn't it be better to run your own factory?"

"Exactly, it's definitely worthless stuff, but the relevant departments just want to create some kind of model case."

"I knew it! Feelings are worthless? That makes sense then."

......

"Old Yi, what kind of award did the government give your family? Show us!"

Yan Bugui shouted from the crowd.

When the people from the Ministry of Light Industry delivered the commendation, Yi Zhonghai deliberately asked them to leave.

He felt that Yi Zhonghai looked down on people.

Even he is on guard.

"Old Yi, what else did those big leaders tell us? You, when the big leaders came to the compound, didn't you tell everyone to meet them?"

Liu Haizhong squeezed through the crowd, walked to the front, and said with dissatisfaction.

When Director Hu and his entourage arrived at the compound.

He wasn't home at the time.

Later, when the leaders from the Ministry of Light Industry came...

He's home.

However, they were unable to enter the Yi family compound, let alone greet those high-ranking leaders.

I was furious.

He felt that the Yi family was being unreasonable by not introducing him to them.

"It's not for our family, it's for my younger brother, Yi Zhongding."

"If you're interested, come back tomorrow. A reporter from the People's Daily will be coming to interview us, and we'll show you all then."

Facing his many neighbors, Yi Zhonghai earnestly emphasized his point again, and then revealed a rather shocking piece of news.

As for Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong?

He didn't even bother to glance at them.

The Yi family then did not engage in further conflict with these people.

We went home together.

The closed door shut out the complex gazes of the crowd.

"Reporters? They're going to be in the newspaper? Oh my god, this is really something! The People's Daily! An interview! I never even dared to dream of this."

"Those who were laughing at him back then were dumbfounded. Not only was Lao Yi not dragged down by a large group of kids, he actually benefited from it."

"No, why? How can those few children's toys get noticed by the government and even make it into the newspapers?"

"Didn't someone just say that setting examples is meant to encourage us to be bold in invention and creation?"

"That makes sense. I'll go home and research toys for my little one too. I refuse to believe that if a teenager can do it, I can't?"

"Give me a break! If you were capable, you would have been by now. You're fifty this year, aren't you? What have you been doing for the rest of your life?"

"Damn it, no way, I have to ask my dad if we have any missing siblings. We should bring them back too, or we might be in the newspapers next time."

"Heh, the title says, 'So-and-so from Nanluoguxiang was executed for a crime,' right?"

"Damn it, Wang Ermazi, are you looking for trouble? You're cursing our family, aren't you? I'll kill you!"

"Li Daduzi, come on! You think I'm afraid of you? Let's see who kills whom!"

......

The gate blocked their view, but it didn't shut their mouths.

So even though the Yi family had all gone home.

But they still gathered in the courtyard and outside the gate, chatting about the interesting things that had happened at the Yi family's house that day.

Yi Zhonghai and Tan Xiulian, who had just returned home, were so moved that they shed tears.

The two also took out a large bunch of incense and candles.

They put all the awards given by the state on a sacred altar.

He kept muttering: "Our ancestors have shown their power! Our ancestors have opened their eyes..."

Anyway, it's all thanks to the incense offerings from our ancestors.

That's what brought the Yi family to where it is today.

"Guoguo, what's this? Are those adults here to see you?"

Yao Yao pointed to a row of awards and asked curiously.

"This is an honor bestowed upon us by the country, a reward for our family's contributions to the nation and the people."

Yi Zhongding held her and spoke patiently.

"Oh, what is an honor? This is a certificate. I know, Guoguo had one at school, and it's displayed on the wall at home."

"Waaaah... Guoguo, I miss Mommy, wah... Mommy."

As Yao Yao was talking, she suddenly remembered her mother and burst into tears.

"Oh dear, Yaoyao, don't cry. Mommy is still fighting monsters in the sky. Didn't we agree that when you grow up and can fight monsters by yourselves, Mommy will come back and hug you?"

Yi Zhongding was caught off guard by her sudden crying and quickly tried to comfort her.

"Waaah... Guoguo, I want my mommy too! I want my daddy too! Waaah..."

When Miao Miao saw her sister crying, she started crying too.

All right.

Password and program are correct.

The two older sisters started crying.

The babies in the middle of the room started crying too.

The sisters asked what they wanted.

They joined in the shouting.

A symphony of baby cries instantly began.

One after another, they started crying.

Yi Zhonghai and his companion didn't even bother to pay respects to their ancestors, and told them to wait a little longer.

Let's appease these little devils first.

The three of them hurriedly managed to calm all the children down.

"My darling, your eyes are all swollen from crying. You're killing your sister-in-law. Don't cry anymore, drink some sweet water."

Tan Xiulian also sobbed for a while, tears streaming down her face.

I'm currently feeding the two little ones, Zhongxin and Zhongyan, honey water.

Yi Zhonghai is feeding Zhongren and Zhongmin.

Yi Zhongding is feeding Yao Yao and Miao Miao.

Yi Zhonghua could only stay close to his elder brother and take care of himself.

of course.

No one overlooked his emotions.

Yi Zhonghai and his wife, as well as Yi Zhongding, each hugged him to offer comfort.

It was so hard.

One by one, the dolls regained their emotions.

Yi Zhonghai and the other two breathed a sigh of relief and sat down at the table to rest.

"Check what's in the envelopes and red packets. Put everything else away for now, so that Yao Yao and the others don't think about their parents again."

"If I cry again, my heart will break."

Tan Xiulian said softly.

Yi Zhongding nodded. He really hadn't expected that a certificate of merit would remind Yao Yao of home.
