I really don't know what to say. I don't know if Qi Hehua is alright, but that deputy director's wife is definitely not going to escape. After such a huge loss, it's hard to say whether she can keep her life. That deputy director's career is over.

Xu Xinning estimates that the farm may be about to undergo a major overhaul.

When Mu Jingheng returned, Grandpa Yang was still there. Seeing his joyful expression, he joked, "What's wrong? Did you find some money?"

Mu Jingheng nodded very seriously and said, "Yes! I found some money."

Grandpa Yang sat up abruptly, his eyes wide, and exclaimed, "You really found money? You're not kidding me, are you?"

Mu Jingheng glanced at Xu Xinning and saw her looking at him with a teasing gaze. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Grandpa, Xin'er told me about the pig farm. She said that the whole county is short of pork right now, and it will take a long time to resolve this. I was thinking, how can this be! No matter how short of meat there is, can we, Qingyuan County, be short of meat? So I went to pull some strings. My brother is capable, and he promised to take care of the meat problem for the time being."

Grandpa Yang excitedly slapped the table and stood up, laughing heartily, "Are you telling the truth, kid?"

Mu Jingheng nodded with a smile.

Grandpa Yang walked over to Mu Jingheng and patted him on the shoulder, but he didn't control the force well and almost made Mu Jingheng kneel down.

Grandpa Yang: "Well done, you're really good, lad! You're a worthy grandson-in-law of the Yang family, I'm so proud!"

Mu Jingheng was very pleased with these words, and he immediately pressed his advantage, saying, "Grandpa, not only is there pork, but also mutton, beef, donkey meat, venison, and chicken, duck, and goose are all available."

Grandpa Yang was stunned. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was agape, but he couldn't make a sound.

I got too excited!

Xu Xinning was afraid that Grandpa Yang would get too excited and faint, so she immediately went to Grandpa Yang's side and took his pulse.

The pulse was so fast, it was almost as loud as the thumping of a train speeding by.

Xu Xinning immediately took out a pill similar to a quick-acting heart medicine and stuffed it into Old Master Yang's mouth.

After swallowing the medicine, Grandpa Yang slowly returned to normal. However, he was a proud man and could not let the younger generation know that he had almost fainted from excitement over such a small good thing.

He clenched his fists, feigning ease, and said, "Why are you all so excited? Sit down, sit down, let's hear what Xiaoheng's friend has to say. Xiaoheng, is this reliable?"

Xu Xinning glared at Mu Jingheng. Others might not know, but she knew all too well that if she hadn't been there, things could have really gone wrong. The main problem was that her grandfather really took this matter very seriously.

He's a veteran member of the Communist Party, and in his view, work-related matters are of utmost importance, even more important than his own life.

This generation has the public good always outweighing the private good in their blood. As long as the country needs them, they can rush forward without hesitation, even if it costs them their lives.

It is precisely because of this spirit that our country has been able to emerge from such difficult times, move towards stability, and then towards strength.

Mu Jingheng: "That's reliable, Grandpa. If things go quickly, everyone can eat meat by tomorrow afternoon."

Xu Xinning lowered her head, thinking to herself that going any faster wouldn't be a problem, but she was curious about how Mu Jingheng would make these things seem reasonable.

Grandpa Yang: "Good, good, good, Xiao Heng, you're doing a great job."

Once things became clear, Old Master Yang couldn't sit still. He had to quickly tell his manager the good news, as his manager was already balding from worry. He also wanted to brag about how amazing his grandson-in-law was.

Grandpa Yang: "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now. I need to go to my workplace to tell the manager about this good news. He's been trying to communicate with the neighboring county for the past few days, hoping to get a few pigs from them. He's practically begging them, but they insist that their county is also short of pigs. Now that's great, we can finally hold our heads high."

Grandma Xu: "My dear in-law, I'm making rice cakes. I was hoping you could take some back so your family could try them too."

Grandpa Yang: "Let's talk about it later. I don't have time to go home right now."

Before Grandpa Yang could finish speaking, he pushed the cart away.

Grandma Xu: "This old in-law is really impatient."

Grandpa Xu: "How can I not be anxious? This is a major event that concerns the entire commune's dinner table!"

Xu Xinning: "Grandma, let Jingheng deliver it later."

Grandma Xu: "Alright! Xiao Heng, is that enough to eat?"

Mu Jingheng was shoveling food into his mouth; to be honest, he was exhausted from running around all morning.

Mu Jingheng: "Grandma, that's enough."

After dinner, Mu Jingheng was pulled upstairs by Xu Xinning.

Grandma Xu couldn't stop smiling. The good relationship between the young couple was the most gratifying thing. She knew her granddaughter must want to ask about the meat.

Grandpa Xu wasn't as at ease as Grandma Xu. He secretly followed them out, stood in the courtyard, and looked up at the building, thinking to himself, "You brat, you better behave yourself."

Old Master Xu had also been young once, so how could he possibly hide the little schemes of a young lad?

As soon as Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng went upstairs, Mu Jingheng, just as Old Master Xu had expected, became restless. He hugged Xu Xinning tightly, rested his big head on her shoulder, and started acting coquettishly.

Mu Jingheng: "Wife, I'm so tired!"

Xu Xinning pushed him forcefully but couldn't move him, so she took him into the space without hesitation.

She felt that speaking in a private space was the safest option.

Xu Xinning: "Tell me, how did you do that?"

Mu Jingheng sat on a stool in the alchemy room, pulled Xu Xinning onto his lap, and said, "I made a call to my comrade-in-arms and asked him to call the county magistrate's office in the name of the superiors, and that's how it was done."

Xu Xinning didn't believe it was that simple. Surely so many livestock couldn't just appear out of thin air?

Hsu Hsin-ning: "Tell me in detail, don't hide anything."

Mu Jingheng chuckled, hugged Xu Xinning tightly, and gently bit her neck, saying, "It's really true, what's there to hide?"

Xu Xinning: "Aren't you going to talk about the transportation issue?"

Mu Jingheng seemed to suddenly realize something and said, "You mean this? Then it's even simpler. The county magistrate personally called the transport team. When these guys heard that they were going to have meat, and it was the county magistrate himself who made the call, they didn't care about anything else. I told them to drive the truck to the three-way intersection in the provincial capital tonight and leave it there. I told them that the truck delivering the livestock was just passing through, but I didn't know when it would arrive, so I would wait with you. When they heard that it was being delivered by the army, they readily agreed. Besides, they didn't want to stay up all night waiting."
