Xu Mingyang has been away on a mission for a long time, and I guess if he doesn't come back soon, the two kids will have forgotten about him.

Since Xu Mingyang went out on a mission, Kuang Meizhu took the opportunity to bring her youngest son back to her parents' home.

It's really inconvenient for a woman who marries far away to go back to her parents' home. Fortunately, transportation is much more convenient now than before. When Kwong Mei-chu went back, she took a plane.

When we arrived there, Kwong Kwong-chi picked us up, and we rode in his car back to the village.

It's so much more convenient than it was five years ago.

Yes, Comrade Kuang Guangzhi bought a car.

Since the reform and opening-up policy was implemented in 1979, the area where the Kuang family lived became a special economic zone. The changes were significant; skyscrapers sprang up almost overnight.

The Kuang family's life also underwent a dramatic change.

Their farmland was requisitioned, their dilapidated houses were demolished, and they were given several houses according to the number of people in their family.

Since the reform and opening-up policy was implemented, Kuang Guangzhi has admired Mu Jingheng immensely. They had already stockpiled a lot of land before the policy was implemented.

At first, Kuang Guangzhi thought Mu Jingheng had gone mad, having so much money to burn, spending so much money to buy so much land in their godforsaken place.

But after the boundaries of the special economic zone were defined, Kuang Guangzhi was stunned. He suspected that Mu Jingheng had already heard the news. At this moment, he regretted not converting all his assets into land.

Since then, he has never opposed any of Mu Jingheng's decisions; anyone who objects must first get past him.

Not only did Kwong Kwong-chi become a nouveau riche, but even his brothers who followed him became nouveau riche as well.

On the other hand, those who had a bad relationship with them before received no benefits other than some houses as compensation for the demolition.

However, people say that the 1980s were a golden age, let alone the economic development zone.

Anyone with a brain and who isn't lazy will become rich.

With the relaxation of policies, many people from all over the country flocked to economic development zones, naturally leading to a more developed real estate market.

Mu Jingheng had Kuang Guangzhi establish a real estate company as soon as the reform and opening up began. So, apart from foreign investors, they were among the first batch of domestic real estate companies in China, and naturally, the policies were much more relaxed.

The Kuang family rented out all the houses they received as compensation for the demolition, while they themselves lived in a villa built by the company.

When the villas were first built, Kwong Kwong-chi reserved three for himself, and one for each of his three siblings.

Mu Jingheng and Jiang Juecheng also bought several buildings.

This is a huge villa with a sea view; it will be impossible to buy a villa in this area again in the future.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's in high demand but priceless.

Kuang Meizhu never expected that the village she had left a few years ago would no longer be a village. If Kuang Guangzhi hadn't come to pick her up, she probably would have been lost in this newly established city.

Kuang Meizhu sighed, saying that she really couldn't find any trace of the past, and even the place where she used to go beachcombing had been renovated.

When she got home, she was even more incredulous. Was this such a luxurious place her home?

Don't think she's ignorant; anyone would be confused if they saw her like that.

Kuang Guangzhi fully embodied the characteristics of a nouveau riche, decorating his house in a lavish and opulent manner, doing whatever looked good, with his own team doing all the work, emphasizing a carefree and whimsical approach.

Kuang Meizhu never dreamed that her family would live such a life.

The parents, who used to be overworked and had bent backs, have also changed a lot. After Xu Xinning's medication, they are now in good health.

With the farmland gone and beachcombing no longer permitted, Mr. Kuang went to work as a dedicated security guard at a company, while Mrs. Kuang stayed home to take care of the children.

Life has improved, and the children are all living well, free from worries, and looking much younger than before.

Kuang Guangzhi had three children. The first two were born before the one-child policy was implemented, and the third was born last year. He was fined a lot of money, but Kuang Guangzhi was happy. He had been looking forward to his little daughter for a long time and would no longer have to listen to Mu Jingheng bragging about his daughter.

Kwong Mei-chu stayed at her parents' home for more than half a year. Although she was so happy that she didn't want to go back, she still returned because she missed her eldest son.

Xu Xinning went to pick them up at the airport, and she almost didn't recognize the mother and daughter when she saw them.

Who are these two dark-skinned, chubby people?

After returning home, Kuang Meizhu and her daughter went out quite a bit. Coincidentally, a new seaside resort developed by Mu Jingheng's company had just opened, and the mother and daughter happened to be there.

Children love playing in the sand and water, and this resort was exactly what Xu Laoqi wanted, so he stayed there all day and refused to go back.

Kwong Mei-chu had no choice but to take the children there to play the next day.

As someone who grew up by the sea, I can't resist seafood. In those days, prices were cheap, and my family thought that Kwong Mei-chu hadn't had seafood properly for many years, so her mother would cook delicious meals for her in different ways every day.

The result is what we see today.

Xiao Ning helped carry the luggage, and Xu Xin Ning reached out to hug Xu Lao Qi, asking with a smile, "Xiao Qi, do you still recognize your older sister?"

Xu Laoqi grinned, revealing his tiny teeth, and stretched out his hands to Xu Xinning, "Fairy sister, beautiful lady!"

Xu Xinning paused for a moment, then laughed.

The child's language skills are really good, especially since the child is in the language learning stage. After living here for more than half a year, he must be speaking a lot of dialect.

Xu Mingyang's youngest son's full name is Xu Zeqian, and his nickname is Xu Laoqi.

This child is similar to the little rascal from the Jiang family; he's very tough. Whenever the two of them meet, they start fighting. Both of them are not talkative, and it seems that their way of communicating is through fighting.

Among the children, the two of them were the same age, but unfortunately they disliked each other. Especially since Xu Laoqi was of a higher generation, everyone had to call him uncle. Could the proud Ma Dan swallow this insult? Unfortunately, he was also afraid of Mu Leyu's tyranny, so he had no choice but to follow the crowd.

Not long after Kwong Mei-chu returned to Beijing, the Song family was also heading back to the capital.

Their return means that Kyoto may be about to undergo another major change.

Xu Xinning only recently learned from Mu Jingheng that the Song family did not go to the border without a reason, but secretly went to identify and investigate some enemy agents hidden in the military.

It was by using Song Shiwen's matter as a pretext that the Song family became the best choice to do this.

As soon as the Song family returned, some people really couldn't sit still.

Putting aside Song Dacheng's prestige and the support of the Mu and Jiang families, Song Wenbin himself alone instilled fear in many people.

Song Wenbin looked refined and gentle. He was originally an honorary professor at the military academy, and had trained many outstanding generals, including Shao Baixuan.

Therefore, even without General Song Dacheng, Song Wenbin would still be a highly respected officer among the younger generation based on his connections.

How could people not be afraid when such people and such families return?
