Chapter 145: Yuanyuan, have you decided?

"I am sorry everyone, my time is limited, and for now, I do not wish to join any organization." An Yinan still focuses primarily on translation; in truth, she only possesses memories from a past life, which is how she is able to do these things.

To speak of joining research would be too arrogant.

Moreover, her ability lies in translation, and the Mind Map actually provided everyone with a direction; if everyone researches it deeply, they can naturally find the fundamental thread, and there is no need for her to necessarily join.

"Educated Youth An, please reconsider. This Mind Map is extremely important to us, and we have also communicated with the National Compilation Bureau; they have indicated that they will give you full respect," said the Principal of Beijing University.

The reason they were able to obtain An Yinan's materials was also because the Compilation Bureau discovered the immense utility of the Mind Map; after obtaining the Mind Map, they conducted thorough research, which saved eight or nine-tenths of the time compared to their previous file summarization.

If they had this time, how much could the country progress?

Their country is a sleeping tiger; it just needs time.

Principal Qingmu also said, "We know you do not have enough time. How about this: our various parties will form a project team, you will serve as the project lead to conduct systematic Mind Map teaching, and subsequently, the team members will uniformly compile and summarize it?"

Their various factions had spent the entire night talking after a long discussion yesterday; continuing to fight over it like this is not a solution, so why not progress together?

An Yinan looked at the expectant gazes of everyone, "Fine, let the location be set in Jingcheng. I will go to Jingcheng after I am busy with the autumn harvest; you can send letters to me with the specific address and information."

She plans to spend time with Beibei in Jingcheng, and it just so happens she can do this project; the timing aligns.

The various factions exchanged glances and discussed for a while longer before everyone finally reached a consensus, "The project will be issued in the name of an invitation letter. We will send your invitation letter over, and the location for the first phase of the project is set at Beijing University."

After seeing these bigwigs off, An Yinan carefully organized the importance of the Mind Map, along with some outlines and summaries of the Mind Map.

Three days later, Yun Mo returned, this time bringing translation books on mechanical engineering.

Because of the appearance of the Mind Map, all translation materials for physics had been cleared out; the Compilation Bureau had deliberated repeatedly before finally summarizing the mechanical engineering materials and simply bringing them all over.

Looking at those Password Cases full of books, An Yinan raised her head to look at Yun Mo, "Did the Compilation Bureau pack up all their books and bring them to me?"

Yun Mo rubbed the cowlick on his head, "I have the same question."

"By the way, this is a letter from the Compilation Bureau; you need to open it personally." After delivering the items, Yun Mo exited Xiao Yuan.

After An Yinan opened the letter, it contained an explanation regarding the leak of her information to the various universities, though they had also reset her identity, providing a fake identity as a guarantee for her safety.

Her new work ID had also arrived; it turned out there was a new position above Confidential Translator: Grade One Confidential Translator. There were only three in the entire country, as her serial number read 003.

Her salary had moved up another level; because her Mind Map had opened up a new world and facilitated the work of various experts, the Compilation Bureau had issued a bonus of two thousand yuan this time.

Adding in this month's translation salary, the money Yun Mo brought back this time already exceeded ten thousand yuan.

Calculating her savings, she had already broken through the ten-thousand-yuan mark.

Nowadays, having a hundred or a thousand yuan was an enviable existence, yet she had actually broken through ten thousand yuan. An Yinan recited in her heart: *Stay steady, we can win. *

With Er Gouzi and Sun Xiaoqin gone, Quanshui Village had not changed much; everyone was still diligently working.

An Yinan, however, kept herself confined within the courtyard and began new translations; because there were many specialized terms, she needed professional dictionaries to look them up, and her speed had slowed down significantly.

Time flowed slowly, waiting for no one.

"Clang!" The sound of a gong rang out, "Autumn harvest tomorrow, no one is allowed to ask for leave."

"Clang!" "Autumn harvest tomorrow, no one is allowed to ask for leave."

The Scorekeeper struck the gong as he walked along all the roads in the village; the annual autumn harvest was about to begin again.

An Yinan sent off her translation materials in advance and stated that she would be resting for a month.

The rest she spoke of was for the autumn harvest; one involves using the brain, the other involves using the hands, and the feeling is indeed different.

"Nan Nan, the ones over here can be carried."

"Nan Nan, the ones over here are ready too."

The aunts and sisters-in-law bagged the corn, and An Yinan carried them bag by bag to the edge of the field, after which specialized personnel would take them directly to the threshing floor.

"Tired, aren't you?" Aunt Li asked with a smile.

An Yinan wiped the sweat from her forehead and hurriedly shook her head, "Not tired."

For this autumn harvest, she didn't snap a single corn cob; she directly contracted the corn transport work for Team One and Team Two, moving them from the field to the edge of the field. The Work Points were high, and it didn't waste time.

By the end of the day, she had eighty Work Points. This sense of accomplishment was different from the sense of accomplishment during translation, and it was easier to feel satisfied.

Yun Shu had been guarding An Yinan's side the whole time, and Yun Mo had long since joined the ranks of those helping, but since his affiliation was not in Quanshui Village, the final Work Points were all counted toward An Yinan's total. By the end of the day, there were at least one hundred and fifty Work Points...

Not working for a year, but working for two months could feed you for a year; who could you reason with about that?

Busy and bustling, yet one still had to look at the heavens' mood; there were only two days left until the harvest was finished when, unexpectedly, goose-feather-sized snow began to fall.

Everyone worked through the snow, rushing day and night, and finally did not let the grain rot in the fields.

"This snow falls just as it pleases; this is not letting the common people live." Everyone complained, but their hands did not stop moving.

Even Xie Yuanyuan had blood scabs all over her hands at this moment; even with gloves on, it was still impossible to avoid it entirely, not to mention she lacked great strength and had to rely on every ounce of her own effort.

Every time Xie Shuyang saw this, his eyes would go dark with heartache.

Finally, one night, Xie Shuyang stopped Xie Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, you've decided, you're not going back?"

Xie Yuanyuan looked at him, bewildered, and then slowly nodded.

Although she had come for him, she had met a dear friend here and had also learned to rely on herself.

Compared to being a rice-munching parasite at home, she felt her own value here.

"Xie Shuyang, I came for you, but I am staying because of myself."

"I am not a person who clings and pesters. Nan Nan once said, it is fine to like someone, but you must never like him more than you like yourself."

"I am very happy right now..."

Before Xie Yuanyuan could finish her sentence, a cold pair of lips sealed the rest of her words.

Xie Shuyang felt his heart beating uncontrollably; his feelings had been sealed away for too long, and he could no longer remain indifferent.

The young girl he had loved dearly since he was a child—how could he bear to let her go, how could he bear to release his hold?
