The next morning, Shuzhen was woken up by her second aunt’s exclamation. The reason was the numerous small baskets that appeared in their yard, filled with varying amounts of chicken, duck, and goose eggs. There were small jars of assorted pickles, salted eggs, and even neatly tied chickens, ducks, and geese. They were scattered all over half the yard, clearly not the handiwork of Brother, Second Brother, or the younger brother and sister-in-law. So, the question arose, where did all these things come from? Shuzhen and her husband furrowed their brows in thought, but it was Liu Shouren, who happened to come over to check if there was anything they were lacking, who solved the mystery with a smile. "So, you’re saying that all these chicken, duck, and goose eggs, pickles, and chickens, ducks, and geese were actually brought over by the community members because they were worried that since we just returned, we might not have raised or prepared anything? They kindly sent them over?" Shuzhen’s face was full of incredulity as she pointed to herself. She surveyed the scene closely: wow, indeed, none of these things were already in the garden. "Exactly! I overheard some of the members talking about it on the tractor yesterday, and I thought they were just casually mentioning it. I didn’t expect everyone to act so quickly. And what a clever method, sneaking in to deliver them without leaving a name, making it hard for you two to refuse. But honestly, having someone like Little Sister as the village leader is truly admirable and enviable. It seems the community appreciates how you led them to raise earthworms and grow mushrooms, actively developing mountain products, and starting a school. In both material and spiritual terms, you have immensely enriched the lives of the community members. They are grateful in their hearts and anticipate your return to lead them to greater heights! Looks like my part-time role as village head should return to its original position, letting Shuzhen continue to lead!" Liu Shouren explained to his little sister with pride in his eyes. From marrying Lianshan and being pampered, to developing ecological farming methods and artificial mushroom cultivation. Winning the provincial outstanding village leader award and both husband and wife attending the Worker Peasant Soldier University, and gracefully declining the school’s high-paying positions and returning with honors. Throughout this splendid journey, everyone has witnessed her exceptional contributions to the Liu family village production team. Who remembers the difficult times when she was falsely disparaged and driven out? If it’s occasionally mentioned, it’s usually to scorn Dai Weiguo for being spineless, willing to play the part of Chen Shimei to climb higher. And as Little Sister and Lian En become more outstanding, it will be an even stronger blow to the Dai family, right? One day, Little Sister’s excellence will transform people’s view of Dai Weiguo from one of opportunism and ingratitude to being blind to beauty and choosing a worthless stone over a gem. Liu Shouren eagerly anticipated that day and was more than willing to stand behind his little sister to help her achieve one success after another. Until one day, she would be renowned nationwide, becoming another national model and outstanding representative. But while he thought this way, her good husband Lianshan wasn’t too happy about it: "I think under your leadership, Brother, the Liu family village is developing quite well, so why don’t you continue? Our Shuzhen is already working hard while pregnant, and also has to take care of Little Lian’en. With so many household and external matters, how can she have the energy to manage the entire production team?" Previously, taking on the role of village leader was to better help everyone increase grain production while concealing her abilities. After all, only the village leader could rightfully access the necessary seeds. But now, after returning with the credentials from B University, they have found better and more appropriate methods, using more scientific approaches to solve problems. Why would Lianshan want his wife to continue as the worry-filled village leader? Seriously! "How much energy could it take? At most, it would be like before, with Little Sister giving all the orders and me organizing people to execute them." Liu Shouren chuckled, dismissively. Previously, even during her nursing period, Little Sister still managed as the village leader, didn’t she? With him as the big brother around, why would Little Sister need to handle everything personally? "I understand your goodwill, Brother, but compared to being an excellent village leader, I want more to focus on researching, cultivating, and optimizing grain seeds, becoming a master of plant breeding in the new era. The reason we returned to our Liu family village, apart from not wanting to leave you dear family members, is especially because only Brother can fully without reservation. I’ve found a job where I can combine my ideals and hobbies. Brother, you’ll be happy for me and support me, taking over the heavy responsibility of leading the Liu family village production team, right?" Shuzhen smiled gently, looking at her brother with anticipation. In the future, she and Lianshan would have more children, and the education following childbirth is a complex and long-term process. There wouldn’t be enough time and energy to commit to leadership work, and she wouldn’t want to claim Brother’s credit. So, she had long planned not to continue as the village leader. And ideals and hobbies obviously are reasons Brother can more easily accept. Liu Shouren spread his hands, what else could he do but nod? All the miscellaneous thoughts were dismissed, focusing solely on Little Sister’s ideals and hobbies. An overprotective brother, after all, has to set aside reasons and expectations, concentrating on the inner thoughts and feelings of his little sister: "Do whatever you want to do, Brother will always be behind you for support. I don’t dare boast about anything else, but within the Liu family village, our brother-sister influence is genuinely significant." "Yes, yes, yes, good Brother. I must have saved the galaxy in my past life to have both you and Second Brother as such great brothers in this life!" Shuzhen sweetly smiled and pouted, looking at Brother Liu with infinite affection. Liu Shouren’s heart was sweet with joy: "Nonsense, there’s no such thing as past or present lives; that’s feudal superstition. With a sister as obedient, thoughtful, smart, and clever as you, wouldn’t any brother treat you like a precious pearl?" "Right, right, right, Brother is indeed perceptive, always able to see even the tiniest shining point in me." Shuzhen nodded, shamelessly accepting the compliments of being obedient, thoughtful, smart, and clever. After a moment of pride, she switched to a gossip mode: "So in light of me being so obedient and thoughtful, Brother, can you tell me what’s really going on between you and Little Sister Yinghong? You both had a bit too much to drink yesterday, and she drove us back, didn’t she? Right after getting out of the car, I heard that girl lavishly praising you. Her voice was so sweet, and her eyes like water—if there’s no secret admiration, that would truly be unusual! To thank her for driving me back, I thought I should kindly see her to the door. But that girl insisted there was no need, saying we see each other often as a family, so no need to be formal. Her attitude was so warm and amiable that I was stunned. I was wondering if you two were getting along well, if Brother was finally going to bring us a sister-in-law?"
