Mu Jingheng volunteered to deliver food to Xu Xinning, which made Grandma Xu very happy. She even kindly packed Mu Jingheng's food as well, saying that she was afraid Xu Xinning would be too pitiful eating alone in the cold and lonely atmosphere.

Xu Xinning: Why does it feel like the old lady wants to package her up and sell her?

Grandma Xu: They're all good kids, don't have such dirty thoughts. Can't we just be good friends?

When Mu Jingheng arrived, Xu Xinning was busy making pills and was so focused on it that she didn't even notice him coming in.

This was Mu Jingheng's first real visit to a medical station, and it was surprisingly well-equipped.

Mu Jingheng was quite knowledgeable; he thought that the medical station that Xu Xinning had set up was more professional than many traditional Chinese medicine shops.

It had a strong herbal smell; Mu Jingheng had never known that Chinese medicine could smell so good.

Seeing Xu Xinning so focused on rolling the pills, Mu Jingheng didn't disturb her and just watched her intently.

Xu Xinning only raised her head after she finished rubbing the last pill.

Actually, Xu Xinning knew who it was as soon as Mu Jingheng approached.

Perhaps it was a skill she developed from smelling medicine since childhood, but Xu Xinning could recognize someone just by their scent, even if the scent was so faint it was almost imperceptible.

It's impossible for a person to have no smell; it's just that ordinary people can't detect it.

It's not just humans; anything with pores and metabolism is bound to have a smell.

Moreover, Xu Xinning is also a healer who knows martial arts (even rudimentary skills are still skills, not to mention she was a martial arts master in her past life, so she still has some experience).

However, Xu Xinning had developed a habit in her previous life that she did not allow anyone to disturb her when she was doing something.

Seeing that Xu Xinning had finished her work, Mu Jingheng immediately put on what he thought was a smile that could charm anyone and leaned over to say, "Xinning, are you hungry? Grandma asked me to come and have dinner with you."

Xu Xinning was speechless. Why did this guy look so obsequious?

Xu Xinning: "Can I talk to you about something?"

Mu Jingheng: "What is it? Anything related to Xin Ning is my business. I will agree to any number of things, no matter what."

Xu Xinning felt a chill run down her spine again.

Xu Xinning: "Could you please stop calling me Xinning from now on?"

Mu Jingheng smiled so brightly, it was like a thousand flowers blooming, and Xu Xinning was momentarily dazzled by his smile.

Mu Jingheng: "Then I'll call you Xin Ning from now on?"

Mu Jingheng: "No, it's too ordinary and not intimate enough."

Mu Jingheng: "How about I call you Ningning again?"

Mu Jingheng: "Oh no, it seems like everyone calls you Ningning."

Mu Jingheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "From now on, I'll call you Xin'er, a name that belongs only to me."

Xu Xinning was speechless. She had really brought this trouble upon herself. This was the first time in her life that she had encountered such a self-centered and difficult person.

The first time the brigade showed a movie, it was even more lively than the Spring Festival. Many relatives came to watch the movie. The benches on the threshing ground were so densely packed that it would be really hard to find your own bench if you didn't have a good eye.

If it weren't for this movie screening, Xu Xinning would never have known that there were so many people in the brigade.

A large brigade is divided into many smaller teams. Work is usually done in teams, so it's normal for people in one team not to know each other, especially newly married women.

Xu Xinning's maternal grandparents' family also came to watch the movie today.

Xu Xinning's maternal grandparents' home is not far from Xujia Village. It takes about an hour to walk there, and only about twenty minutes by bike.

In those days, it wasn't easy to see a movie. People from the surrounding villages would come in groups. Those with tractors would ride in tractors, those without would ride in oxcarts, and if all else failed, they would walk.

So the threshing ground was truly packed with people, and everyone's face was beaming with smiles.

The projector was set up in the middle of the room. The projectionist seemed to know a lot of people. It was still daylight when they were chatting there, and the people were offering him cigarettes in a friendly manner.

Xu Xinning's maternal grandfather was a pig butcher. He entered the food station with his skills when it was established, but he only slaughtered pigs and did not sell meat. When pork was scarce during the Lunar New Year, his reputation as a pig butcher was still quite useful.

The Xu family dotes on Xu Xinning, and her maternal grandparents' family does the same, simply because Xu Xinning is beautiful.

There are several girls in my maternal grandparents' family, but none of them are as beautiful as Xu Xinning. I don't know if it's because they slaughtered too many pigs and it's caused their bad luck, but the girls in the Yang family all seem to be quite robust.

When the elders from his maternal grandparents' family arrived, the stools that Xu Laosan and Mu Jingheng had set out in the morning were not enough for them to sit on.

Children love to run wild in crowded places, and these kids are really getting on the roofs and tearing off the tiles.

There were many people lying on the rooftops next to the threshing ground, as well as on the haystacks and in the trees.

After finishing his meal, Xu Laosan disappeared somewhere.

Mu Jingheng followed Xu Xinning around like a shadow, claiming it was to protect her, saying there were too many people on the threshing ground and that Xu Xinning was pretty, so he was afraid someone would steal her away.

Grandma noticed that Mu Jingheng was always accompanied by a young man and became curious. She asked Grandma Xu, "In-law, this young man is quite handsome. Who is he?"

Grandma Xu: "You mean Xiao Heng? That child is wonderful. He's the son of our old leader Yaozu, and he just came to our brigade to work in the countryside."

Grandma: "So he's the former leader's child! Kids from big cities are really different; he's so good-looking."

Grandma Xu: "Isn't that right? He's good to our daughter and third son too, he protects them very well, and he even named our third son!"

Grandma: "What a good child."

Xu Xinning rolled her eyes. A nineteen-year-old kid!

The Yang family members are all obsessed with good looks; they can't take their eyes off anyone who's handsome. Sure enough, several of the older and younger cousins ​​were drooling over Mu Jingheng.

My cousin said, "I've never seen anyone so good-looking."

Cousin: "Just as pretty as my older sister, Nannan."

Cousin 1: "Who's prettier than my cousin?"

Cousin 2: "Nannan is the prettiest."

Cousin: "They all look good."

Xu Xinning was speechless at her cousins. Did they have nothing else to say about them except their looks?

The movie started as darkness fell. Xu Xinning was curious, and the movie started playing as soon as a beam of light shone on the white cloth.

In her previous life, Xu Xinning could not have seen a movie. Before regaining her memories, Xu Xinning went to the cinema to watch a movie. She was always curious about how this small machine could play movies.

It was the first time Xu Xinning had ever seen a movie projector. Between watching movies and being curious about the projector, Xu Xinning seemed to be more interested in the latter.

Most of the films in the 1970s were war films, and there were also model operas.

Today they showed a war movie, and the scenes were very exciting, making you feel like you were actually there.

Because elders had come to visit, all the chairs that had been set out in the morning were given to them, and Xu Xinning was helped by Mu Jingheng to find a perfect spot.
