Mu Jingheng finally returned to Xujia Village. He carried a lot of things in large and small bags. Luckily, he caught an oxcart, otherwise he would have had to walk back covered in bags.
As soon as I entered the village, I saw a large group of children fighting.
Oh ho!
This is outrageous! Do they think they can turn the world upside down? At such a young age, they're already getting into a brawl.
Mu Jingheng told the old man driving the oxcart to stop, then he jumped off and crept closer to the fighting children.
The first thing Mu Jingheng saw was Xu Laosan, who stood there like a general with one hand on his hip and the other holding a stick. He looked at the people fighting in front of him with a serious expression and would occasionally shout out instructions on how to fight.
Alright, he is undoubtedly the "general" who oversees the overall situation.
Mu Jingheng didn't disturb them. He slowly moved to Xu Laosan's side and followed Xu Laosan's gaze to look ahead. He saw a boy who was particularly brave. His moves were precise and neat, and he seemed to have practiced.
Hmm! It's military boxing, so someone in your family must have a military background.
I must say, these moves look especially cute and adorable when performed by a child.
This child is teachable!
The other kids were quite good at fighting, using punches and kicks, and if that didn't work, they'd use their mouths. It looked more like wrestling than a real fight.
Mu Jingheng leaned closer to Xu Laosan and whispered, "How's the situation?"
Xu Laosan kept his eyes on his "brothers" and casually said, "Not bad. We are a regular army. A regular army should act like a regular army. How can those bastards compare? If anyone dares to mess with us, we'll beat them to death."
Mu Jingheng: "Killing someone will result in imprisonment."
Xu Laosan: "Do you know what hyperbole is? There's a rhetorical device called hyperbole. Judging from your appearance, you probably haven't read many books. It's understandable that you don't understand what cultured people like us are saying. If you don't understand, stand aside and don't interfere with my commands."
Mu Jingheng chuckled softly.
Xu Laosan frowned. Where did this illiterate guy come from? How dare he come here to disrupt their morale? Does he have a death wish?
As soon as Xu Laosan turned around, he saw a magnified handsome face. He was stunned. Why was his future brother-in-law back?
Ah! His brother-in-law is back! His brother-in-law is back!!
Xu Laosan jumped up happily and then hung on Mu Jingheng.
"Brother-in-law, you're finally back! I've missed you so much, I dream about you every day."
Mu Jingheng affectionately tucked Xu Laosan under his arm, slapped Xu Laosan's buttocks repeatedly with one hand, and asked in a feignedly fierce tone, "What happened? Why are you fighting?"
Xu Laosan wasn't angry at all. Shamelessly, he continued to cling to Mu Jingheng and replied, "This isn't a fight, this is just a friendly exchange."
Mu Jingheng found it amusing; it seemed that every time he saw Xu Laosan, he could always surprise him.
Mu Jingheng pointed to several children with bruised and swollen faces and said, "Are you sure this is a friendly spar?"
Xu Laosan said solemnly, "There's nothing we can do if we're not as skilled as others. Only by enduring hardship can one rise above others."
The saying "Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one rise above others" is used in this way.
It seems this "cultured person" is quite extraordinary.
A twelve-year-old child is really not young anymore, and Xu Laosan is also strong and much taller than his peers, so hanging him up like this is really tiring.
Mu Jingheng patted him and told him to get down.
Xu Laosan was pleased and shouted loudly, "That's it for today! You, you, and you, what have you been learning for so many days? Go back and practice properly. If you do this again in the next competition, you will be disqualified."
"Big brother, big brother, you can't disqualify us. We can always learn from the second-in-command."
Second-in-command?
hehe,
Is this a real rebellion, a move to establish a separate faction?
Mu Jingheng shook his head helplessly.
Suddenly, a small cannonball rushed up and leaped onto Mu Jingheng's back, then let out a silvery laugh.
"Second brother, second brother, you're finally here! I missed you so much, I dream about you every day."
Alright!
After hanging out with Xu Laosan for a while, even their methods of deceiving people have become the same.
Mu Jingheng grabbed the person and pulled him down. He was stunned when he saw Mu Jingshu.
Is this tomboy his adorable little sister?
Mu Jingheng could hardly believe his eyes.
With a nearly buzz cut, dark skin, a cotton-linen Chinese-style top paired with black pants of the same fabric, and a pair of black embroidered cloth shoes, this outfit makes him look like a Tai Chi master.
etc,
Wasn't that his sister who was performing military boxing so meticulously just now?
Okay!
She became the second-in-command not long after arriving, it seems she's really enjoying life in Xujia Village!
I bet his grandfather and father would be shocked if they saw this.
When it arrived, it was a soft and adorable little cutie; after it went home, it became the current second-in-command.
This is letting go of one's true nature!
Mu Jingheng is conflicted!
He glanced at Mu Jingshu from time to time, wondering whether he should force her to change her style back.
What their family lacks most is a cute and adorable little girl!
The children all knew Mu Jingheng, and they were quite envious of him being so affectionate with Xu Laosan and Mu Jingshu.
Seeing the children's eager eyes, Mu Jingheng took out candy from his bag and shared it with everyone, giving two extra pieces to those who had been beaten up the most.
If the parents of the child found out they beat him up like that, they would be heartbroken and would have to make up for it with candy. It seems these two brats need to be taught a lesson.
The children who received the candy were overjoyed and shouted, "Thank you, boss! Thank you, second-in-command!"
Mu Jingheng was annoyed. It seemed like he was the one who gave him the candy.
After dismissing the children, the three went home.
Xu Xinning figured Mu Jingheng should have arrived by now. She was restless at the medical station, constantly craning her neck to look outside, but there seemed to be an unusually large number of patients today, and she couldn't leave for the time being.
Since learning that Xu Xinning had gone to medical school, more and more people have been coming to her for medical treatment. Even people from other brigades are no longer willing to go to the hospital and are coming directly to Xu Xinning.
Xu Xinning was busy, but the team's income really did increase a lot.
The brigade's income increased, and the brigade accountant was the happiest person of all.
Before, it was all deficit; now it's all surplus. Looking at this long string of numbers, his heart felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
The accountant's favorite things to do now are looking at the ledgers and checking the brigade's granary.
Since they were allowed to exchange grain varieties, their brigade's grain reserves have been growing like a treasure trove, and he never dreamed that he would see so much grain one day.
There are some things you have to believe. The accountant felt that the Xu family seemed to have a magical power. Ever since the eldest son of the Xu family came back, their Xu Family Village brigade has become more and more prosperous.
