In fact, Xu Yaoqi's family was talking about this matter even after they went out.
Lin Shufen glanced at Xu Yaoqi and said, "Adaham has suffered a huge loss this time."
Xu Yaoqi: "It should all have been prepared by my elder brother and sister-in-law. My elder brother has always valued Mingyang, and Mingyang has suffered so much since he was young. My elder brother and sister-in-law want to make it up to him on behalf of Amu Ada! Don't say things like this outside in the future. If it gets to Amu Ada's ears, she'll think we have some inappropriate thoughts."
Lin Shufen: "I know, don't worry. Besides, we've already separated, so even if Amada gives Mingyang something, we can't say anything."
Xu Yaoqi: "You're right. We make our own lives. As long as we do our duty, what's meant for us will come to us."
Xu Zexin: "Dad, Mom, after we eat, can Xiaolei and I go catch sparrows?"
Lin Shufen: "There aren't many sparrows these days. Besides, such small creatures don't have much meat when roasted."
Xu Zexin: "Xu Laosan is really good at catching sparrows. After we finish eating, let's go find him and catch a lot of them. They'll be marinated and roasted and taste delicious."
Lin Shufen laughed: "A bunch of foodies, go ahead, but you can't go into the mountains. It's dangerous this time of year when everything is coming back to life."
Xu Zexin replied happily, "I understand."
The Xu family enjoyed a pleasant lunch together. Grandma Xu pulled Xu Mingyang to sit beside her and kept putting meat on his plate.
When Xu Laosan saw that Xu Mingyang was acting strangely, he started to act silly.
Xu Laosan: "Grandma, could you give me a piece of meat too? We all know you dote on your youngest son, but I'm your precious grandson. I'm younger than your uncle, so you should cherish me even more."
Grandma Xu laughed: "We don't care about you at all, you know that, have you forgotten that you were adopted by us?"
Xu Laosan let out a howl and crossed his hands over his heart: "Grandma, you're so hurtful! Why do you always stab my young heart with knives?"
Mu Jingheng was amused by Xu Laosan. Spending so much time with Xu Laosan, he had forgotten that there were people in the distant capital waiting for him to return and fight.
Mu Jingheng picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Xu Laosan's bowl, saying with a smile, "Eat up, I like you!"
Xu Laosan picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth as if he were eating some kind of delicacy. "My brother Mu is still the best to me."
At noon, Grandma Chen sat at the Xu family's dining table as she had wished. It felt like time had turned back, and in her blurry vision, she seemed to see her parents, Xu family uncles and aunts, as well as Grandpa Xu and that annoying second son of Xu when she was a child. They were chatting and eating as usual.
Grandma Chen's hands were trembling involuntarily.
She misses them!
Xu Xinning placed a piece of meat in Old Mrs. Chen's bowl, having observed the changes in her.
Xu Xinning actually understands Old Mrs. Chen. She is like a proud peacock who will never learn to bow her head. She would rather be misunderstood than let people see her inner vulnerability.
When Grandpa Xu saw Grandma Chen holding back her tears, he joked, "You're so happy to have a meal at our house. If you hadn't said you'd give us all your glutinous rice flour and rice flour, you probably wouldn't have gotten this meal."
Grandma Chen sniffed and said bluntly, "You're my brother. Don't just say this one meal; I'll come here often for a free meal, and I'll bring my husband along too."
Grandpa Xu laughed: "Look how capable you are."
Old Mrs. Chen stiffened her neck and said, "That'll do."
Actually, Old Mrs. Chen really disliked the wall that blocked their two families' relationship, but she was also a person of principle. No matter how good the relationship was, they were still two different families, and some boundaries could not be crossed.
In the late afternoon, all the members of the Xu family's eldest branch arrived. Old Master Xu even asked Xu Mingyang to pick up his second aunt's husband, who was recuperating at the medical station.
The second uncle's wound is healing very well, but he can't exert himself, for fear that the wound will reopen.
This man was used to being busy at home, and he had been feeling quite unwell staying at the medical station for the past few days, so Xu Xinning asked him to help her make the pills.
This time, Xu Xinning made a "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill" to nourish the elders in her family.
Xu Mingyang, in particular, needs a proper check-up on his hidden injuries.
Since he wasn't a member of the main branch of the family before, Xu Xinning couldn't be so authoritarian as to force him to treat her. Apart from a few elders, no one else was very familiar with her medical skills. It was only because of the incident involving her second aunt's husband that people in the village started to pay attention to her medical skills.
Xu Xinning always felt that Xu Mingyang shouldn't be confined to this small Xu Family Village; with his abilities, he should go to a bigger place to make his mark.
If he recovers fully, Xu Xinning believes he will definitely achieve great things.
When they arrived at Old Xu's house, Xiao Er's uncle was still a little reserved.
Xiao Er's husband is younger than Xu Xialian; he was only eighteen when they got married.
His body was still injured, and his family wouldn't let him do anything, so Old Mrs. Xu asked Xu Xialian to take him to Xu Laosan's room to rest.
After lunch, Xu Laosan and Mu Jingheng went up the mountain. There were many people eating dinner in the evening, and Mu Jingheng wanted to hunt some wild game.
Xu Daya had been thinking a lot in her mind these past few hours, and after much consideration, she still felt that Mu Jingheng's conditions were the most suitable.
In fact, Xu Daya never gave up on Mu Jingheng. However, since he lived in the Xu family's old house, she didn't have a chance to make a move. He was always surrounded by people, so she didn't have the opportunity to use any tricks. On the other hand, she got along well with the male educated youth in the educated youth compound during this period.
Today's family gathering at the old house is a great opportunity. If anyone sees her and Mu Jingheng rolling around together, Xu Daya believes that as family members, they will stand up for her.
Xu Daya seemed to see her plan succeed, and the thought of Xu Xinning's angry expression made her feel indescribably happy.
If her plan succeeds today, maybe she can escape that suffocating home this year. Just thinking about it makes her happy.
While Mu Jingheng was taking bird eggs from a tree, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He had a keen sense that something was watching him. He turned around and saw a snake hanging upside down not far behind him. The snake's head was quite large. Mu Jingheng slowly reached into his pocket, took out his slingshot, and quickly aimed at the snake's vital spot. The snake was knocked down.
Mu Jingheng: "Third brother, check if the snake on the ground is dead. Be careful, use a fork in the tree, don't be stupid and use your bare hands."
Xu Laosan: "Understood."
Xu Zexin: "It's been so long since I've had snake soup. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water."
Xu Zelei was a bit timid and immediately said, "No, no, it's terrifying."
Xu Zexin laughed loudly: "Isn't eel something to eat? What's the difference between a snake and an eel?"
Xu Zelei, sticking his neck out, retorted defiantly, "How can there be no difference? An eel is a fish, and a snake is an insect."
Xu Zexin: "Okay, okay, if we don't want to eat, we won't. We can eat more if there are fewer people fighting over it."
