Mu Zhenting never expected his father to make such an arrangement for Mu Jingheng. However, it was all by chance that Mu Jingheng was about to embark on a mission in Xujia Village of Hongxing Commune.

This mission was related to the documents sent up after Xu Yaozu's comrade-in-arms, Lao Cao, sacrificed his life.

Old Cao received news that there was an ancient tomb on the mountain in Hongxing Commune. The tomb not only contained burial goods that were worth more than a country, but most importantly, it also contained the secret recipe for the long-lost Resurrection Pill.

The Resurrection Pill is an ancient legend. It is said that as long as a person has a breath left, no matter how serious their injury, how serious their illness, or how old they are, as long as they take it, they will be full of vitality.

Although it is just a legend, there are traces of it in historical records.

Whether the effect is as legendary as we've heard is unknown.

In Lao Cao's document, it was mentioned that foreign forces and the island opposite were also looking for the secret formula of the Resurrection Pill.

Cao Cao's brother-in-law originally wanted to steal the documents to prevent the country from obtaining the information.

In fact, the domestic leaders didn't really believe that the Resurrection Pill had such great effects, but since the foreign forces and the island opposite had impure motives, the domestic authorities had a responsibility to protect their own things.

After leaving his study, Mu Zhenting went straight to Xujia Village to find Mu Jingheng, wanting to personally tell him about his mission.

Meanwhile, that special department also selected a young officer to work with Mu Jingheng in a secret search for the ancient tomb, and that officer would also go to Xujia Village as an educated youth.

Old Xu's family had a very lavish dinner. Chen Ping brought out some good wine, and the two families gathered together, setting up two large tables, one for the men and one for the women. Old Master Xu was already quite happy and tipsy before he even had a sip of wine.

The women's table finished eating quickly, while the men's table, wanting to drink, naturally took longer.

Xu Mingyang is the star of the show today, and the brothers are having a lively time, toasting and drinking together.

This was the most important moment in Xu Mingyang's life. He felt both unfamiliar and intimate, and he even felt a sense of joy and satisfaction in the moment.

Xu Daya had something on her mind, so she finished eating early and hid in Mu Jingheng's room. In order for today's event to succeed, she even wore her newly made underwear. Just now, when Xu Xinning didn't notice, she sneaked into her room and secretly applied her face cream.

Xu Daya crawled into Mu Jingheng's bed without even taking off her clothes.

She had planned it all out. She figured that Mu Jingheng had drunk some alcohol and would definitely go straight to bed when he entered the room. All she had to do was tear his clothes, hug him tightly, and yell.

Mu Jingheng did drink alcohol, but unfortunately, the men in the Mu family all have a high alcohol tolerance. Besides, he was of a lower generation at the dinner table and not the main person in charge, so he only needed to drink a symbolic little bit.

Roasted sparrows are also a great snack to accompany drinks. The kids were in high spirits, and while the adults were drinking, they helped them roast sparrows.

Xu Laosan and his family used two handfuls of millet to catch a lot of sparrows, but it was troublesome to deal with them. However, there were many people in the family, and it took them more than an hour to finish cleaning up this big basin.

Mu Jingheng had never eaten roasted sparrow before. Right now, he was leading the children in roasting sparrows with them, completely unaware that someone had entered his room.

Xu Xinning helped tidy up the table after they finished eating.

Lin Shufen found it strange that she didn't see Xu Daya, so she asked, "Didn't Daya come?"

Niu Zhaodi glanced around and replied, "We were just having dinner together."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zelei said, "I just saw Sister Daya go upstairs."

Upstairs are the rooms of Xu Xinning, Xu Yaozu and his wife, and Old Master Xu, as well as a study. Downstairs are the rooms of Xu Laosan and Xu Zexi.

Niu Zhaodi: "What is she doing upstairs?"

Lin Shufen pursed her lips. She always felt that Xu Daya was too calculating and acted without any sense of propriety.

Although Niu Zhaodi was reckless, she still knew some principles. The upstairs room was the master’s room. Could she enter without permission?

Niu Zhaodi walked into the courtyard, looked up and called out to the upstairs, "Da Ya, Da Ya, you brat, come down here right now."

Xu Daya heard Niu Zhaodi's cries from inside Mu Jingheng's bed. It was impossible for her not to be nervous, but thinking that if she didn't settle her life's most important matter today, her mother might sell her, she gritted her teeth and pretended not to hear.

No one responded, so Niu Zhaodi went back to the kitchen to keep busy, still grumbling.

Niu Zhaodi: "I don't know where he's gone. He has no sense at all. He just slacks off after he's had his fill."

Yang Chunqin: "Could he have gone to the outhouse?"

Lin Shufen: "I just went there."

Grandma Xu: "A girl this age doesn't have much time left at her parents' home. She should enjoy herself as much as possible while she's at her parents' home. Even if her husband's family is good after she gets married, she won't have the same freedom as when she was at her parents' home. We can do this little bit of work. There's no need to restrict the child. Our little girl doesn't need to do anything. She can go play with her brothers."

Lin Shufen: "Grandma is the most open-minded grandmother I have ever met."

Grandma Xu: "We all came from that time, so we should be the most understanding."

Lin Shufen: "Both the eldest and second sons have daughters, so the eldest and second sons will have son-in-law banquets to drink in the future. It's just that our Yaoqi is pitiful because he doesn't have a daughter, so he won't be able to drink the son-in-law banquets in the future."

Yang Chunqin laughed: "If you want a daughter, just have another one. You and your third brother are still young, having a few more won't be a problem."

Lin Shufen laughed and said, "We want to have children too, but what can we do if our bellies don't cooperate?"

Yang Chunqin: "Let my daughter take a look tomorrow, and I guarantee you'll get what you want."

Lin Shufen: "I never expected my daughter to be such a good doctor. I thought the barefoot doctor in the brigade was a waste of his talents."

Yang Chunqin: "It's great, I feel free at home."

Lin Shufen: "Sister-in-law, didn't I hear that our brigade will be allocated a quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University? Our daughter only has a high school education. If she goes to university for two more years, her future will definitely be bright."

Yang Chunqin: "It's difficult for me to get this position as the brigade leader. If it were given to Nannan, many people would definitely be dissatisfied."

Lin Shufen: "Why not make recommendations first, and then have the recommended people take an exam? That would be fair and just, wouldn't it?"

Yang Chunqin: "Your brain works really well."

Lin Shufen: "My brain isn't that sharp. I've heard that some brigades do it this way."

The men chatted about important matters, while the women talked about everyday things.

Mu Jingheng was worried that it would be too crowded if they washed up together later, so he thought he would take a shower first while someone was cooking. Just as he opened the door to get his change of clothes, Mu Jingheng sensed something was wrong. Before he even turned on the light, he smelled a scent that didn't belong in his room.

Xu Daya had fallen asleep while waiting for so long, completely unaware that her plan was about to fall through.

Mu Jingheng left the room and pulled Xu Laosan back in.

Xu Laosan thought Mu Jingheng was afraid of the dark, and was happy that he had found Mu Jingheng's weakness. He dragged Mu Jingheng and strode proudly to Mu Jingheng's room.

He fumbled for the light switch in the dark, and with a click, the warm light illuminated the room. Suddenly seeing a person lying on the bed, Xu Laosan let out a pig-like scream, startling the drowsy Xu Jiacun awake…
