Lu Dudu said with a pout, "I do, but I don't want to be separated from Mom and Dad."

Clearly, she had been asked before—she wanted to stay.

Lin Nannan rubbed her little head and comforted her, "When we're not busy in the future, we can go visit Grandpa and Grandma or go see your maternal grandparents, okay?"

"Okay!" Lu Dudu nodded.

After finishing her meal, Lin Nannan thought that the people who had gone out wouldn’t be back so soon, so she took Lu Dudu to Jiang Wen’s place to check on how the crops they'd planted were doing and compare them with the previous ones.

Walking hand in hand, Lu Dudu, who had been feeling down about Grandpa and Grandma leaving, was finally cheered up by Lin Nannan’s playful teasing and began skipping happily again.

"Comrade Lin Nannan," just as she was nearing her destination, a slightly out-of-breath voice called from behind. Lin Nannan turned around and saw it was one of Political Commissar Chen's aides. Surprised, she asked, "Xiao Zhao, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Zhao immediately replied, "Someone is looking for you. Political Commissar Chen wants you to come over right away."

"Who is it?" Lin Nannan asked.

"Higher-ups," Xiao Zhao gestured and said, "Political Commissar Chen said it’s good news!"

Lin Nannan thought for a moment, already having an idea, and quickly said to Xiao Zhao, "There’s no one at my house. Could you take Dudu to the Political Commissar’s house and ask his wife to look after her for me?"

"Of course!" Xiao Zhao replied immediately.

Lu Dudu was already used to such arrangements. Compared to before, her mother now spent much more time with her, so she obediently waved goodbye and took Xiao Zhao’s hand.

Lin Nannan waved to her, gave some final instructions, and watched as Xiao Zhao led Lu Dudu away before heading toward Political Commissar Chen’s place.

When she arrived, someone was waiting at the door. Seeing her, they hurriedly led her inside.

Once inside, Lin Nannan realized there were many people there. As soon as she entered, everyone turned to look at her. One of the seated officials immediately stood up, stepped forward, and extended his hand, saying, "Comrade Lin Nannan, hello, I am Zhang Zhiyun."

"Hello!" Lin Nannan shook his hand and inquired, "Is there something you need from me?"

Zhang Zhiyun smiled and said, "The success of Project 01 has deterred hostile forces, brought great prestige to our nation, and made those who were watching us greedily hesitate to act recklessly. You were instrumental in this. We were too busy before to properly acknowledge it, but now that the situation has stabilized, we’ve come to deliver your rewards and bonus."

Although she had been mentally prepared, Lin Nannan was still very happy and said with a smile, "I was just doing what I should!"

"Comrade Lin Nannan, there’s no need to be modest. Your contributions cannot be overlooked. Without you, Project 01 would not have been realized, nor would it have made others wary of our country’s development," Zhang Zhiyun said earnestly.

"Has it been unveiled already?" Lin Nannan asked curiously.

She had thought it would be revealed at a critical moment and was surprised that Project 01 had been unveiled so soon, especially since she hadn’t received any news while staying here.

Zhang Zhiyun nodded and said, "We had no choice but to unveil it, but the effect was astounding. At least in terms of fighter jets, we are far ahead of others, and it has suppressed their aggressive intentions."

This made Lin Nannan realize that something must have happened, forcing the unveiling of Project 01. It had effectively demonstrated the nation’s strength, making others think twice before underestimating or provoking us.

"As long as it intimidates them, our two years of hard work have not been in vain!" Lin Nannan said happily.

"That’s all thanks to you. They all said that without you, Project 01 would not have been completed so quickly. Your technical skills are something we all remember," Zhang Zhiyun said with a smile. Then, he took out what he had brought and solemnly told Lin Nannan, "Your contributions are not limited to this. Previously, due to special circumstances, we could only reward you superficially. Now, with all your accumulated accomplishments combined, it’s truly remarkable."

Lin Nannan didn’t know what "accumulated accomplishments" meant, but when Zhang Zhiyun told her that from today onward, she, like Lu Hang, was officially a commissioned officer, she was genuinely surprised.

What belonged to her was not just the status of a soldier—she even received a military rank. As for the financial reward, it paled in comparison.

Lin Nannan, who had originally hoped to get a house, suddenly found herself a homeowner with a house in Beijing, which made her incredibly happy.

After exchanging greetings, she received her rewards, including her military uniform.

"Wearing this, is there going to be any trouble or problem with me wearing this?" Lin Nannan asked, holding the uniform.

She had always admired how Lu Hang looked in his military uniform but never imagined she could become a soldier like him and wear one herself.

"In the military camp, it’s perfectly fine. If anyone asks, just say it’s for your potato contribution. There’s no need to elaborate further. As for outside... the threats outside haven’t been cleared yet, so you know, caution is necessary," Zhang Zhiyun explained, telling her to be ready.

Lin Nannan nodded in understanding.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, she gathered her things and went home.

Political Commissar Chen had only heard about the 01 fighter jet but didn’t know the specifics. Upon learning that Lin Nannan was responsible for it, he was completely stunned. He knew she had accomplished something significant but never imagined she was capable of creating a fighter jet...

It was not something regular people could do. He couldn’t fathom how someone who could build a fighter jet would be so into his wife’s cooking, praising her so highly for a meal that his wife was so happy she'd have given Lin Nannan the shirt off her back.

Deeply shaken, Political Commissar Chen was still processing everything long after seeing Zhang Zhiyun off, unable to calm his astonishment.

Meanwhile, Lin Nannan didn't think twice about this and headed home proud, carrying her honors.

When Lin Nannan arrived home, Zhang Xiaofeng and the others had already returned. Noticing she was alone and not paying attention to what she was carrying, they wanted to know where Lu Dudu had gone. Upon learning that Lu Dudu was at Political Commissar Chen’s house, they were puzzled...

"Why did you leave the child there? What were you busy with?" Zhang Xiaofeng asked.

"Nan Nan, why are you holding a military uniform? Is it A Hang’s?" Lu Fang inquired, noticing the uniform was completely new.

The other two also turned their attention to the uniform in her hands, looking at her curiously.

Lin Nannan smiled at them and proudly declared, "This is my military uniform!"

The three were stunned, unable to speak for a long time, surprised that the uniform belonged to Lin Nannan.

"What’s going on?" they asked, overjoyed yet curious.

When she left home, there had been no indication of this, and she had never mentioned it before. How could she suddenly be wearing a military uniform?

After all, this wasn't something just anybody could get—not even with Lu Hang’s help.
