491: Xiao Niannian works several jobs by herself.

Two days passed in a flash. Xiao Niannian had been here for over two years, found her Adoptive Mother, and was now living a life with a mother's love.

She took leave from her superior, and after work each day, her Older Brother would pick her up and take her home.

When she returned home today, she heard a lot of lively chatter.

"Dad, Mom, you'll definitely be very happy when you see Niannian."

Xiao Niannian also heard Grandma Xiao's voice.

"In-law mother, you've suffered all these years. We were also at fault back then; if we had met you, we wouldn't have misunderstood for so many years..."

"In-law mother, it's our fault. If I had met Ruyi earlier and talked to her, we wouldn't have been set up by Xiao Dong..."

The two families kept apologizing to each other.

"In-law mother, you've really suffered all these years, raising Niannian..."

"I heard Niannian is a very outstanding child..."

Hearing her in-laws talk about her Granddaughter Niannian, Grandma Xiao praised her Granddaughter profusely.

"Niannian has been extremely smart since she was a child... If it weren't for her, this old woman wouldn't be alive today... and wouldn't have had the chance to see Ruyi and my Grandchildren..."

Thinking of this, Grandma Xiao's eyes welled up again.

"Grandma, Mom, Older Brother, Second Older Brother."

Xiao Niannian pushed open the door and called out to her family, her gaze falling on an old couple not far away.

"These must be my Maternal Grandparents? Hello, Maternal Grandparents, I am Xiao Niannian."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words and looking at the beautiful and exceptionally elegant child in front of them, Grandpa Xiao Zhang and Grandma Xiao Zhang were overjoyed.

"Oh."

"I'm your Maternal Grandmother, hello Niannian."

Grandma Xiao Zhang embraced Niannian, smiling as she looked her over.

"Niannian, you're truly a beautiful child, your Maternal Grandmother likes you..."

Grandma Xiao Zhang looked at Niannian kindly. After a half-hour phone call two days ago, she wanted to see this child. Today, they arrived early, and knowing that their in-laws would arrive this afternoon, they even specially brought some gifts.

After a detailed chat with their daughter for several hours today, and seeing the letters and proofs, the couple confirmed that they had truly misunderstood their In-law mother.

Proof from one or two people could be forged, but proof from so many people couldn't possibly be forged, and there were also the proofs issued by the Public Security Bureau, and letters from over twenty years ago... They never expected the truth to be like this.

"I heard you're a Platoon Leader now? Not bad..."

Grandpa Xiao Zhang looked at Xiao Niannian, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this Maternal Granddaughter was an outstanding child.

"Hongjun, Weijun, you two should learn more from your Younger Sister; she's so outstanding..."

Listening to the elders' praises, Xiao Niannian smiled faintly.

Xiao Hongjun and Xiao Weijun heard their Maternal Grandfather's words and said with a smile.

"Younger Sister is so outstanding, we really should study hard."

Seeing Xiao Niannian wearing the latest camouflage military overcoat, Grandpa Xiao Zhang looked at his Maternal Granddaughter in surprise and asked.

"Niannian, if I'm not mistaken, is this the latest camouflage military overcoat?"

Xiao Niannian nodded.

"Maternal Grandfather, you're not mistaken, this is indeed the latest camouflage military overcoat."

"The Military Unit in your Yangcheng has such good benefits?"

Each of them, these Old Comrades, had one. He had only just received his not long ago and specifically wore it when he came today. He never expected his Maternal Granddaughter to also have one.

"Maternal Grandfather, Niannian has already graduated from the Military Academy and is now back in the Military Unit in Yangcheng. She might be promoted further soon, and then she'll be a Deputy Company Commander..." Xiao Hongjun immediately said.

"Oh, she even graduated from the Military Academy?"

Grandpa Xiao Zhang immediately forgot about the camouflage military overcoat and looked at his eldest Grandson, asking about his Maternal Granddaughter attending the Military Academy.

"Graduated from the Military Academy two years early? Excellent! Too excellent!"

Grandpa Xiao Zhang clapped his hands happily, looking at Niannian with a beaming smile.

"Good child, you are truly too excellent. Niannian, when do you have leave? Come stay at your Maternal Grandparents' house for a few days..."

He wanted to let his Old Comrades-in-arms see that he not only had several outstanding Grandsons but also a very outstanding Maternal Granddaughter.

Let all of them be jealous and envious of him.

Grandma Xiao Zhang looked at her husband and laughed. How could she not know what the old man was thinking?

"Maybe in a few days, but I don't have much leave, probably only two or three days, then I have to rush back to Yangcheng immediately."

"Good, good, good."

Xiao Niannian had originally planned for fifteen days, five to seven days working at the Arms Factory and the Research Institute, and the remaining time to find her Adoptive Mother and Older Brothers. It turned out she was incredibly lucky and actually met her Older Brother at the Arms Factory.

She had previously learned some techniques for observing people's photos from her elders, which allowed her to analyze what a child would roughly look like when they grew up. She remembered the appearances of her Adoptive Father and Adoptive Mother, and she had also drawn many portraits of her Older Brother and Second Older Brother, a few of which were seventy to eighty percent similar to them.

At that time, hearing her Older Brother's Comrades-in-arms call him Company Commander Xiao, and seeing that her Older Brother was fifty to sixty percent similar to the drawing, even if she was mistaken, she had to ask.

Fortunately, she found her Adoptive Mother and Older Brothers.

Over the next few days, Xiao Niannian accelerated her work progress daily, designing several products with her Comrades-in-arms that she had previously conceived.

Now she was only responsible for the design; testing and subsequent matters were not her concern.

"Comrade Xiao, the Arms Factory in Chengdu is now responsible for the production of camouflage military overcoats..."

Factory Director Yu was very happy. Although they didn't get the production lines for those three types of electrical appliances before, their Arms Factory managed to secure the designs for several subsequent products.

The large freezers they were now producing had a larger capacity than ordinary refrigerators, and there was also the production of these camouflage military overcoats, which would be equipped to the entire army in the future... "Comrade Xiao, thank you for your hard work. If there are any new designs in the future, please don't forget our Chengdu Arms Factory..."

These days, Factory Director Yu specifically asked many Old Comrades in the Research Institute to teach Comrade Xiao more, hoping that Comrade Xiao could acquire more knowledge in other areas. Perhaps Comrade Xiao could design aircraft, submarines, missiles, and so on in the future... To think that when they were Comrade Xiao's age, they were still studying in school; how could they know so much?

Heroes have emerged from the young since ancient times; they were old now, and the country would be passed on to the younger generation.

"Superior, if there are any new designs in the future, I will definitely tell you."

Xiao Niannian replied with a smile.

Now, the directors of the four Arms Factories all wanted to get her, but the Capital City Arms Factory was faster. She had now been transferred to the Capital City Arms Factory, but she was a Researcher in the other three Arms Factories... She was now working several jobs alone.

However, Xiao Niannian was still very happy when she saw her salary each month.

Every month, she would give one month's salary to Grandma Xiao.
