When Mu Jingheng took Wu's second son's wife back, he saw his adopted son waiting anxiously at the Wu family's gate. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Mu Jingheng and Wu's second son's wife together, and then he ran over to help Wu's second son's wife, complaining, "Where have you been? Don't you know what's wrong with your health? You've really worried me to death."

Wu's second son's wife patted his hand and laughed, "If you're feeling bored at home, just go for a walk. You won't be leaving the compound anyway, so what are you worried about?"

Mu Jingheng watched the two of them enter the courtyard together, and he stared thoughtfully at the back of his adopted son.

The way that adopted son looked at Mu Jingheng just now was very unusual; it seemed to be filled with hatred. Although it was only for a moment, Mu Jingheng could still see it clearly.

Hatred?

This must be the first time he's met him so closely.

Are you afraid that he's getting too close to Wu's second son's wife?

But this doesn't seem to harm his interests, does it?

Mu Jingheng was completely baffled.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. His stomach was growling, and he needed to hurry home to fill his stomach and get a good night's sleep. Where would he find the time and energy to think about these unimportant people and things?

Jiang Juecheng is back, bringing lots of dried meat and cured meat, as well as lotus root starch and vermicelli made by the brigade's collective workshop, and various dried vegetables and seafood made by Grandma Xu herself. It's truly full of love!

When Grandpa Jiang's orderly went to pick him up, he was shocked to see so much stuff. He wondered if this man had robbed someone's house.

It's no wonder people think that way. These days, nobody's rich, so who would be so generous as to take out so many things?

Jiang Juecheng did not go straight home, but went to the place where Grandpa Mu and Grandpa Jiang worked.

Half of the things he brought belonged to the Mu family. Although he could have delivered them directly to their home, his wicked nature led him to want to see Mu Jingheng's expression, so he mischievously came to their office.

As the saying goes, "A brother repays a sister's debt," and Jiang Juecheng felt that after being tormented by Mu Jingshu for so long, he had to find something in Mu Jingheng to soothe his frightened heart.

When Jiang Juecheng arrived, Grandpa Jiang and Grandpa Mu had just finished their meeting. The old men were all holding teacups, and when they saw Jiang Juecheng get out of the car, they all stood there without leaving.

"Old Chiang's grandson isn't young anymore, is he?"

"Of course, he's already in his mid-twenties."

"Even the second-generation Mu family has a fiancée, why doesn't he find one yet? When I was his age, my child was already crawling on the ground."

"Old Chiang, do you have some plans?"

Grandpa Jiang snorted. What were his plans? What could he do if his own grandson was so disappointing?

When Grandpa Mu saw Jiang Juecheng, he waved to him.

Jiang Juecheng stepped forward and greeted the veteran revolutionaries.

Grandpa Mu smiled and said, "You're back? I really have to thank you this time. Did our Jingshu cause you any trouble?"

Jiang Juecheng's lips twitched. Could he complain? But where could he even begin? It seemed that the young girl hadn't done anything wrong except for being a little noisy.

The shrewd and experienced Old Master Mu seemed to understand his predicament and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Old Jiang's son may be a bit dull, but he is genuinely honest, which reminds him of his own eldest grandson, who seems to be in the same category.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Old Master Mu immediately changed the subject and asked, "How is your Uncle Xu doing?"

“Ningning had the surgery done as soon as she got back, and he’s fine now. When I came back, he insisted on going back to work, but Grandma persuaded him to stay,” Jiang Juecheng replied.

"Isn't this just making a fuss? She's so badly injured, how can she serve the people if she doesn't recover properly? Has Ning said when she'll be back?" Old Master Mu asked, he really missed the girl.

“Ningning said that she can study at home anyway, and she thought that she could just take the test together for both semesters, so she probably doesn’t plan to come back this year.”

Grandpa Mu felt both proud and disappointed; the house was truly too quiet and too desolate.

Upon seeing Jiang Juecheng, Mu Jingheng immediately jogged over and asked, "You're back?"

Jiang Juecheng's mood brightened immediately, and he straightened his back. He was just waiting for Mu Jingheng to be envious and jealous of him. If he knew that Mu Jingheng and Xu Xinning often met in the space, he would definitely vomit blood.

Grandpa Mu was taken aback by Jiang Juecheng's sudden change. He hadn't expected the two lads to be so close now, and to be so happy to see each other. It was wonderful! It reminded him of some scenes from his own youth.

Jiang Juecheng replied with a smile, "Yes! I'm back. Brother Ningning and Xu Zexi were here this time too. We got along very well and even went up the mountain together to hunt four wild boars. We also agreed to keep in touch with each other in the future. Zexi is very knowledgeable and has great physical strength. We also have very similar interests. It's like we've known each other for a long time!"

Mu Jingheng blinked. Why did he feel like this guy was showing off? If it had a tail, it would be wagging its tail high right now, wouldn't it?

"Ningning's kimchi is delicious, and she even puts fruit in it. It's really extravagant, but Ningning says that family members should eat well so that they can get the necessary nutrition," Jiang Juecheng continued.

Jiang Juecheng said this because he didn't bring any of the kimchi that Xu Xinning had made, just to spite Mu Jingheng.

Mu Jingheng was now certain that this guy was just showing off.

Mu Jingheng was puzzled; what did he have to brag about?

The kimchi that Xu Xinning made was something he and she made together in the space. He was the one who tasted the first bite. He didn't even brag about it, but he started showing off. I don't know what he's so smug about.
