Yang Chunqin was picking watermelons in the watermelon field. The watermelons were growing well this year, and the watermelon harvesters had arrived today. The Xu family could harvest all of their last batch of watermelons.

Yang Chunqin was picking a melon when suddenly her nose started to itch. Before she could react, she sneezed several times, and the melon almost slipped from her hand.

Grandma Xu immediately took the melon from Yang Chunqin's hand and asked with concern, "What happened? Did you catch a cold because of the dew this morning?"

Yang Chunqin rubbed her nose and replied, "It's nothing, my nose just suddenly got itchy."

Grandma Xu smiled: "I heard that the third son and his family have train tickets for today. Could it be that the boy has been thinking about you?"

Thinking of Xu Laosan, Yang Chunqin felt very happy. She hadn't seen him for so long and wondered if he had grown taller.

Yang Chunqin: "Auntie, we can't sell all these melons. The third son likes to eat melons."

Grandma Xu: "I know, I know. I don't know when Xiaoyu will come back, even though the third son is back."

Xu Zeyu was admitted to university two years ago. Since Xu Yaoqiang remarried, he demolished the original house and rebuilt it into a row of neat brick and tile houses, with orange trees planted in the yard.

After Xu Yaoqiang and his family moved back, Xu Zeyu did not move with them. Although his stepmother was very kind, he always felt that he could not integrate into his father and stepmother's life.

How could Old Mrs. Xu not know about Xu Zeyu's awkwardness?

With none of the eldest son's children at home, the house was quite quiet, so Grandma Xu discussed with Yang Chunqin about keeping Xu Zeyu there.

Xu Zeyu was sensible, and Yang Chunqin felt sorry for him because of his experiences, so she kept him as her own son.

Xu Zeyu is indeed sensible and grateful. His personality is very similar to Xu Yaoqiang's; he doesn't talk much and keeps everything to himself.

After entering university, his horizons broadened, and he began a life of working part-time while studying.

Yang Chunqin felt sorry for Xu Zeyu after learning about it, and asked Xu Yaozu to have a heart-to-heart talk with Xu Zeyu. After the talk, Xu Yaozu also agreed with Xu Zeyu's lifestyle.

The child doesn't steal or rob; there's nothing wrong with him earning his own tuition. As long as he feels at ease and at peace, that's what matters most.

After Xu Yaoqiang got married, he had another daughter. Two years ago, the family of three opened a clothing store and a grocery store in the county town. After making some money, they bought a piece of land in the county town, thinking that they would build a three-story building after Xu Zeyu graduated from university. That way, when Xu Zeyu got married, there would be enough space for him to live in. The third floor would belong to the young couple, the second floor would belong to them, and the first floor could be used as a shop.

When Yang Chunqin heard what Grandma Xu said, she knew that the old lady missed her grandson, so she smiled and said, "Now that the third son has been admitted to university, he must have written to Xiaoyu a long time ago. Why don't we ask Xiaoyu if he has told him when Yaozu comes home from get off work this afternoon?"

Grandma Xu smiled and replied, "Our Xiaoyu is closer to his uncle."

Yang Chunqin: "That's right. This child is also a bit of a quiet type. Fortunately, when something happens, he knows to consult with his uncle. Otherwise, we wouldn't know what he's thinking."

Xu Laosan and Chen Jianguo were finally about to set off from Beijing. Xu Xinning was worried, so she asked Mu Jingheng to see them off.

Even if Xu Xinning hadn't said anything, Mu Jingheng would still have gone. Although many of their comrades were secretly following him, Mu Jingheng was still worried. After all, there was still Xu Laosan there. Who knew what unexpected events might occur?

From Sato Takeru's trip last night, Mu Jingheng knew how much he valued Chen Jianguo.

People were already arranged at the train station and on the train, just waiting to see what unexpected people might appear besides Takeru Satoh.

What Takeru Satoh didn't know was that he was also being used.

It was no secret that Sato Takeru received a message from his family ordering him to evacuate. His superiors already knew about it, because there were people he had planted in the Sato family. In addition, large families are inherently prone to internal strife. How could those who were eyeing him, who were not in the country for a long time, possibly want Sato Takeru, the next head of the family, to return safely?

While Takeru Satoh was arranging his own safe exit, his superior was also arranging for his own safe exit.

The train station was always packed with people, no matter when they arrived. Mu Jingheng led the two through a special passage, and only after boarding the train did they realize that Mu Jingheng had bought them soft sleeper tickets.

Xu Laosan happily pulled Mu Jingheng: "Brother-in-law, it has to be you! I thought a hard sleeper was good enough, but I didn't expect you to buy us a soft sleeper."

Mu Jingheng patted Xu Laosan on the shoulder and said, "Now you know how good your brother-in-law is, right?"

Xu Laosan fawned, "How could I not know how good you are, brother-in-law? Otherwise, why would I have been helping you pursue my sister all this time? Jianguo, don't you think so?"

Xu Laosan didn't forget to bring up Chen Jianguo, his ally.

It would have been better if Xu Laosan hadn't dragged Chen Jianguo into it, because the fact that he did reminded Mu Jingheng of how this kid had tried to matchmake Xu Xinning and Chen Guoqing. Mu Jingheng said pettily, "He really wanted to bring your sister back to be his sister-in-law!"

Chen Jianguo was quite embarrassed when the topic came up. He scratched his head and said apologetically, "Brother-in-law, how do you still remember this?"

Xu Laosan: "My brother-in-law is stingy about my sister's affairs. You know, that's called love, right?"

Mu Jingheng said irritably, "With all that you know, you probably don't have a female comrade you like, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo also looked at Xu Laosan.

Xu Laosan's face flushed red instantly. He didn't even know why he blushed. He hurriedly explained, "Brother-in-law, you can't say things like that. I'm still a child!"

Mu Jingheng raised an eyebrow. Everyone who's been through this knows what this situation means. It seems there really is something going on.

Chen Jianguo glanced at Xu Laosan with mixed feelings before lowering his eyelids. In his heart, Xu Laosan and Mu Jingshu were a match made in heaven. If they got together, it would be a double blessing, and his family would definitely be very happy.

Two people entered the sleeper compartment. Both were wearing Zhongshan suits, carrying black briefcases, and wearing black-rimmed glasses. They were clearly leaders on a business trip.

Upon seeing the newcomers, Mu Jingheng exchanged glances with them naturally.

These two people, along with several others in the soft sleeper berths, are all Mu Jingheng's colleagues.

Mu Jingheng pulled Xu Laosan aside, then stuffed a handful of money into his hand and whispered to him, "Keep it safe, or someone will have their eye on it."

Xu Laosan returned the money, saying, "Brother-in-law, my sister has already given it to me."

Mu Jingheng: "What your sister gave you is your sister's. What I gave you, you can keep. If you think it's too much, just start making some. You can do whatever you want with it later."

Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng are usually generous to Xu Laosan, and Xu Laosan is not a spendthrift; he has saved quite a bit.

Xu Laosan and Xu Yao were acquainted, and Xu Laosan would sometimes set up a stall to sell things when he had free time, so Xu Laosan was not short of money at all.
