Not long after Xia Yutang's birthday, one day he excitedly entered the space with a certificate and a medal.

Just then, the little brother and sister were writing at the kang table at home, discussing what had happened at school recently, when they heard their father's voice.

Their mother had mentioned before that their father could return home through the jade space, but not for too long. They hadn't seen it before, but they didn't expect to see it today. Their father went straight from the kitchen back to the main hall. The two little ones were about to scream, but their father covered their mouths with his hands.

They only realized what had happened when their mouths were covered; they had almost caused an accident. They hadn't returned through normal channels, and if someone had heard them shouting, things would have been very serious.

Xia Yutang stood directly on the kang (a heated brick bed), her eyes fixed intently on the box her father was holding. She was very familiar with this kind of box; it was specifically used to hold medals. There was a large five-pointed star on the box, the same one her current father and her uncle from her past life both possessed.

It's obvious that it contains medals.

"Dad, what's in this box?" Stone had noticed what his father was holding. They weren't the type to snatch things; they just stared at their father expectantly, wanting him to explain.

"This is a real treasure. It's a first-class merit award, which requires an extremely significant contribution to earn. Your father has risked his life countless times over the years, almost losing his own, and I only managed to get one. I never imagined that you, at such a young age, would receive one..." As soon as Xia Jixuan said this, the entire room suddenly fell silent.

Shi Tou couldn't believe it, and Xiao Yu and Tang Tang were completely stunned. Even Liu Fangmei, who was standing at the kitchen door with the dishes in her hands, almost dropped them on the ground.

"No, are you talking nonsense? What did our Shitou do to deserve such an award?" Liu Fangmei couldn't understand. Her little rascal spent all his time either at school, herding cattle, or helping with housework. How could he possibly earn a first-class merit award?

"Wife, don't serve the dishes yet. Come on, let's go back over there. I have something to tell you." Xia Jixuan didn't wait for his wife to speak and directly picked up his little daughter and pulled his two sons back to the Jade Space.

"What's wrong? What are you doing so mysteriously?" Liu Fangmei was still carrying vegetables when she followed her inside. As soon as she entered, she was in the yard. She quickly took the vegetables to the kitchen and put them on the table before coming over and sitting down on the sofa with her daughter in her arms.

She was now desperate to know how her son had earned this honor, and she couldn't let her husband make a mistake in the military.

“Honey, last time I said we were going to retrieve the cliff with the wolves, right? Stone told me there was glass there, and he also told me there were people hiding in the valley. Based on the clues he provided, we obtained a batch of very valuable guns, and of course, those viruses. If it weren't for our little girl reminding us in time, we might not have been able to escape unscathed this time. But our little girl is too young, so I didn't take her out. I only told her where our son found the people.”

“Those things are really precious, so the higher-ups specially awarded me a first-class merit, and also gave one to my son, since it was he who discovered the place that allowed the higher-ups to obtain those things. There are some other things, but I haven't gone to the logistics department to collect them yet. As soon as I received this medal, I wanted to tell you all, so I came here before collecting the supplies.” Xia Jixuan was still unable to calm down.

He didn't know how important the contents of that jar were to the people in the research lab; he only knew that he and his son had received a substantial reward, including a certificate, a medal, and a cash prize. However, he had left the cash prize in his office and forgot to bring it when he returned, so he hadn't bothered to check the amount.

"Dad, I want to hang this on the wall of my room." Stone held the box very reverently. He knew the importance of this thing and that although it had been awarded such a medal, it couldn't be shown to others, otherwise how could he explain what contributions he had made?

"Okay, you two will sleep separately?" He remembered that the two little rascals used to sleep together.

“I saw that my sister has her own room, and I wanted to find one too. There are quite a few rooms here, so I discussed it with Xiaoyu, and we each got a room.” Actually, he was quite envious of his sister having a room that their father had personally built, but the rooms downstairs were already furnished and didn’t need any modifications, so he didn’t expect his father to build him a new one.

The truth is, he actually really likes the current arrangement of the room. There's a desk, a bookcase, and a separate small living room. This is his private space, and the small living room is filled with things he likes.

For example, the beautiful seashells he found on the beach, and the various colored stones. He also carved little trinkets from oddly shaped branches he collected himself.

He had secretly hidden some when he was at Lao Xia's house, but his aunt and older cousin would try to snatch them away and play with them. After they got bored, they would throw them away or hide them somewhere he couldn't find them.

Once he gets back here, he can tell his mother that he can do anything he likes and get whatever he wants.

Even though he shares a room with his younger brother, his brother doesn't complain about how much stuff he has, or how strange it is.

After seeing that his sister had her own room, he thought of this matter and looked at all the rooms in the entire building, only to find that the rooms downstairs were actually quite similar.

Of course, he also had his own desires. He wanted his dad to get him a cabinet so he could store all his strange little hobbies.

After hearing his son's request, Xia Jixuan did not refuse, but told him to find a time for the father and son to discuss what kind of design they wanted.

Stone was delighted. He knew his father didn't have much time, so he decided to draw the design of the cabinet he wanted himself first.

That way, when we talk to his dad later, we'll have pictures to refer to.

After his father left, he carefully examined the medal again before solemnly carrying it to the living room and placing it on the cabinet next to the television.

We can leave it here to admire for a while, and then put the medal inside the cabinet once it's finished.

The medals were simply pasted on the wall, which is a common practice nowadays; people like to display all their medals in the most prominent place in their homes.

This is an honor, an honor that can be shared with everyone. However, they posted it here so that only their family of five can see it. Even so, they will still feel very proud; it is their family's honor.
