689: New bulletproof vest.

"Dear Grandparents, uncles, and aunts, you really shouldn't include me in this. I really didn't do anything..."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's refusal, the Researchers laughed.

They had known this child, Xiao Niannian, for several years, and her personality was truly very similar to theirs.

She was wholeheartedly dedicated to the country and the people, never calculating personal gain or loss. They were old and didn't know how much longer they could contribute to the country, but Niannian was still so young, yet she did the work of three or four people.

Previously, many researches hadn't given Niannian any recognition.

But this time, Niannian had indeed contributed a lot, provided them with much inspiration, and had struggled alongside them for nearly a hundred days and nights.

"Niannian, this matter has already been decided, so don't decline anymore..."

"That's right."

"Tell us about things on the outside."

"Niannian, is there a letter from my family?"

Hearing the elders' words, Xiao Niannian took out the letters that the Research Institute comrade had just checked.

"Grandpa Zhu, this is your letter."

"Grandpa Yang, this is your letter."

"Grandma Hu, this is your letter."

Xiao Niannian handed the dozens of letters to everyone.

Seeing letters from their loved ones, the Researchers were very happy. What they looked forward to most every month was when letters from their families arrived; other than contacting them by letter, they couldn't go out at other times.

Watching some of the Grandparents wiping tears from the corners of their eyes after reading their letters, Xiao Niannian felt a bit sad inside.

In this era, it was precisely because so many people were silently contributing that later generations could live happy lives.

These Researchers were so happy just to receive a letter, whereas back in her original world, they ate well, dressed warmly, had all kinds of entertainment, and lived lives better than people now could imagine.

Xiao Niannian stayed here for three days. After getting off work on the third day, she went to the Military Factory's Guesthouse.

"Niannian, why are you here?"

Uncle Wang was very happy to see his Niece.

"I came to see you."

Hearing his Niece's words, Uncle Wang was even happier.

He had been here for several months and had also returned to Hong Kong City a few times.

Actually, every time, his range of movement within the Military Factory was limited to just that little bit: the Guesthouse and the factory grounds.

Usually, he would have two soldiers protecting him while in the Military Factory.

After all, he was a treasure now; nothing could happen to him.

"Put this on."

What? Uncle Wang looked at the thing in front of him that looked like clothing—a vest?

"Thank you, Niannian."

No matter what it was, as long as it was given by his Niece, it must be a good thing.

"These few pieces are for Maternal Grandparents, Mom, and my younger brother."

Hearing his Niece's words, Uncle Wang nodded.

"You must have spent a lot of money, right? Uncle will give you some pocket money."

Uncle Wang handed over a stack of money, a bundle of ten-yuan Renminbi and a bundle of Hong Kong currency.

"Uncle, I don't want this..."

Xiao Niannian didn't expect Uncle to just start giving money without a word.

This was truly the look of a domineering CEO!

"How can that be? You are always buying this and that for Uncle and your Maternal Grandparents. If I don't give you anything, your Maternal Grandparents will definitely beat me up..."

He wasn't lying. In his parents' hearts right now, he was worthless; his Niece was much more pampered by his parents than he was.

"I really don't want it; I still have what you gave me before. Sit down first; I have something to tell you."

Hearing his Niece's words, Uncle Wang sat down.

"Go ahead."

"This is a bulletproof vest."

What? A bulletproof vest? Was it the kind of thing he was thinking of? One that could stop bullets?

"I applied for this from my superiors. Uncle, these five bulletproof vests can only be used by you, Mom, Maternal Grandparents, and my younger brother... You absolutely must not give them to anyone else. This is the latest military industrial product..."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Uncle Wang's expression became extremely serious.

He understood what his Niece was saying. This wasn't equipment that could be bought with money. This bulletproof vest could save a life at a critical moment.

People who shoot guns nowadays aim for the chest.

With this thing, it could be said that it was like having an extra life.

"Uncle understands. I will tell the family about these and make sure they wear them whenever they go out... I will also definitely protect this clothing well and will absolutely not let anyone else use it..."

This was the most advanced equipment in Daxia. His Niece had thought of many ways to apply for this for their use. Uncle Wang immediately put the clothing on and found it fit exceptionally well.

However, in this weather, wearing this would indeed be a bit hot.

But one's life was important; if you had such a good thing, you had to use it. How could you not wear it just because it was hot?

Hearing Uncle's guarantee, Xiao Niannian nodded.

"I brought you some braised beef and beef sauce made by the canteen..."

Xiao Niannian took out the dishes from another bag that she had previously asked the Special Forces Brigade canteen Team Member to make.

"That's wonderful."

He had food and supplies here, but because he had been targeted recently and there had been several waves of assassination attempts, it wasn't convenient to go outside to eat. The food made at this Guesthouse tasted good, but he was tired of eating it every day.

"These steamed buns, mantou, and flatbreads are all frozen. I'll put them in the refrigerator; when you want to eat them, just have someone steam them..."

Watching his Niece take out so many things from her large backpack, Uncle Wang was shocked.

He had thought it was just some change of clothes and other things his Niece had brought, but he hadn't expected it to all be for him.

So moved, what to do if he wanted to cry?

His Niece was truly so good to him; why didn't he have such a good daughter?

He was jealous of his sister; how about he went to marry a wife now and have one?

Ahem, he was just thinking about it!

Now that he was being targeted, he might be set up, or have some scandal created about him. What if they weren't after his money, but wanted his life?

His father and sister were already thinking of ways, but these assassins and spies were endless; they could only think of other methods.

He also had to return to Hong Kong City tomorrow and couldn't come to Yangcheng for a while.

Otherwise, those newspapers and those people would continue to spread rumors.

They had already quietly bought two newspapers and a TV station; this was also his Niece's idea, to use public opinion to deal with those people.

This way, the Wang family could be safe.

There were other methods too, which had been somewhat effective over these past few months. Now, the Masses in Hong Kong City felt sorry for their family, and their family had also increased their charity work.

"Uncle, then I'll go back first."

"Alright."

Xiao Niannian stood up and walked outside.

Uncle Wang saw Xiao Niannian to the courtyard. He couldn't go out; going out meant danger.

When he returned, he saw that his Niece had placed those two stacks of money on the sofa.

This child was truly wonderful.

The more she didn't want their money, the more he wanted to give it. The money he and his sister earned, wasn't it earned for their Niece? As for his son, just giving him a portion would be enough.
