When Mu Zhenting entered, everyone looked over, but his imposing aura also intimidated everyone present, except for Mu Jingheng and Xu Xinning.

Xu Xinning: I'm a princess, what haven't I seen?

When Mu Jingheng saw Mu Zhenting, his lips twitched. He hadn't expected his old man to actually come. He had only been in the countryside for a short time. Could it be that he really cared about him?

impossible.

If his father was just concerned about him, he wouldn't be surnamed Mu.

Grandma Xu greeted them with a smile, but if you looked closely, you could see that her hands and legs were trembling.

That's the stimulating reaction of all the muscles in the body when you're too excited.

Grandma Xu's eyes welled up with tears, and she reached out her hand to Mu Zhenting, saying, "Commander! I've finally met you!"

Mu Zhenting immediately grasped Old Madam Xu's hand warmly, as if they had known each other for a long time, and said affectionately, "Auntie, we have finally met. The Xu Yaozu family is very outstanding. Whether it is appearance, ability or character, they are all excellent. I have always wondered what kind of patriarch could raise such an outstanding family. Seeing you today, the mystery is solved. Auntie, you and my uncle are truly remarkable."

Mu Jingheng: Is this really his father? Could he have been switched without his knowledge?

Xu Yaozu: What exactly has the leader experienced in the past few years?

Orderly officer: The commander's true colors are about to be revealed.

Xu Xinning: Like father, like son! But it's quite interesting, hehe (*^ω^*).

Grandma Xu was surprised that the leader was so approachable. Her initial apprehension was immediately replaced by shyness: "You flatter me too much, leader. We are just ordinary farmers from the countryside. We are nothing like what you describe."

Mu Zhenting held onto Old Madam Xu's hand tightly, as if she were his long-lost son, their intimacy was incredible, and his smile stretched all the way to his ears. However, because he didn't smile much for many years, his smile muscles were still a bit rusty.

Xu Mingyang: I am the son who has been separated from me for many years. If we had truly been separated for many years, I wouldn't be like this!

Mu Zhenting: "Auntie, please just call me Zhenting from now on. It's too formal to keep calling me 'Chief'. I don't consider you an outsider at all."

Grandma Xu's eyes welled up with tears. This leader is really something else; how come his words are so soothing?

Grandma Xu: "Alright, alright, are you hungry? Auntie will go and make you something delicious."

Yang Chunqin quickly said, "Auntie, you sit and talk with the leader, my daughter and I will go cook."

Grandma Xu nodded happily; she had never met anyone she wanted to confide in before!

The moment Xu Xinning moved, Mu Zhenting looked over. How could this little girl be getting more and more beautiful? Her noble temperament was so different from that of someone who came from a rural courtyard. He felt that even his deceased wife paled in comparison to her. He wondered what he should do if his good-for-nothing son was not good enough for her.

Sigh! If the son isn't good enough, the father can make up for it. If that's still not enough, then we'll have to ask the old man for help.

Mu Zhenting said with a smile, "I didn't expect Xin Ning to have grown up so much. This child has been clever since she was little. My grandfather even named her. He mentioned her a few days ago when he heard that Jing Heng came here to work in the countryside. Xin Ning should be a year younger than Jing Heng, right?"

Hsu Yao-tsu: "She should be a little over a year younger. My daughter won't be eighteen for another few days."

Mu Zhenting glanced at Xu Yaozu. Why was this guy so fussy? What's the difference between a little over a year old and a year old? Aren't they all saying it's a year off? Who can be precise down to the month?

Wait until my son wins over your daughter, then let's see how smug you'll be!

Mu Zhenting immediately replied, "Xin Ning's birthday is coming up? I've completely forgotten the date. I'll have Jing Heng buy her a present."

Mu Jingheng chuckled sheepishly and replied, "I bought it for you today."

Mu Zhenting glanced at Mu Jingheng and raised an eyebrow. This kid is something else. He has the same flair he had when he was pursuing his mother. It's just that the girl doesn't seem to have the same feelings for his son. It looks like he has a long way to go!

Grandma Xu: "Why are you being so polite? Just boil two eggs and cook a bowl of longevity noodles, and that'll be enough for your birthday!"

Mu Zhenting: "Let their kids do what they want. Young people like a sense of ritual."

Mu Jingheng glanced at his father, as if he already knew his feelings.

Is it possible?

Mu Zhenting: Why not? I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. Do you think I can't see through your little schemes?

Grandma Xu: "Yes, let them do what they want. The kids get along quite well."

Only then did Mu Zhenting notice Wang Zhongjun standing to the side and Xu Qiuju and Wang Juan huddled in the corner. He smiled and asked, "Auntie, who are these ladies...?"

Grandma Xu: "This is my youngest son-in-law, Wang Zhongjun. That one over there is my youngest daughter, Xu Qiuju, and the other one is my son-in-law's sister."

Mu Zhenting nodded to them as a greeting.

Grandma Xu looked at Wang Zhongjun and said, "Zhongjun, everything has been explained. You should go back now, as the roads will be difficult to travel after dark."

Wang Zhongjun was also smart. If Mu Jingheng's father found out about this, he might be furious. If that were the case, with his rank, dealing with them would be as easy as crushing an ant. It would be better to take this opportunity to make a quick getaway.

Wang Zhongjun greeted everyone and then went out.

Xu Qiuju glanced at Mu Zhenting secretly, then pulled the trembling Wang Juan along and followed.

Grandma Xu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the person leave.

Mu Zhenting asked, "Why haven't I seen my uncle?"

Ever since the old couple from the second wife were punished by being sent to fertilize the land, Old Master Xu has taken on the role of supervisor. Of course, it's not purely supervisory; he just picks out workstations where he can see the two of them when he goes to work.

Yang Chunqin knew what her father-in-law was thinking, so she let him be. However, this meant that Grandpa Xu would work longer hours and earn more work points, but he would also be very tired. If it weren't for Xu Xinning taking care of him, how could this old man have endured it?

Grandma Xu: "He went to work and hasn't come back yet."

Mu Zhenting: "How is my uncle's health?"

Grandma Xu: "I'm doing well. Although I'm a bit tired from work, my daughter is taking care of me, and my hair has turned quite a bit darker."

Mu Zhenting: "Xin Ning is that amazing?"

Once Xu Xinning was mentioned, Grandma Xu started talking non-stop. She talked about how Xu Xinning went up the mountain to find medicine, how she studied the medicine, how she performed surgery on Xu Xialian's husband and brought him back from the dead, and how she treated the hidden injuries of Xu Yaozu and Xu Mingyang...

In any case, according to Old Mrs. Xu, Xu Xinning's medical skills were like those of a god.
