Little Wanwan raised her two chubby little hands and hugged Ma Jingshan's neck, then looked at Ma Jingshan and called him "Grandpa" in her childish voice.

Ma Jingshan instantly forgot about his youngest son. "Hey! Xiao Zheng, don't be shy."

As Ma Jingshan spoke, he carried the small bowl to Su Jingyu's side. "This is Grandma."

"Grandma." Little Wanwan tried to use one of her chubby little hands to hook around Su Jingyu's neck. But her little arms were too short. In the end, she could only use one chubby little hand to grab Su Jingyu's clothes.

Ma Jingshan and Su Jingyu were very happy to see how much Xiao Wanwan liked them as soon as she met them.

"Yes!" Su Jingyu responded first, then stretched her neck out again. "Were you trying to hug Grandma's neck just now?"

"Mmm-hmm!" Her grandma is so smart.

Over here, Xiao Wanwan had one arm around Ma Jingshan and the other around Su Jingyu, her eyes crinkling into slits with laughter.

On the other side, Ma Lifeng finally made it back only to hear devastating news. "Brother Wu, what did you just say?"

Wu Xiangdong looked at him and laughed, "The commander told me to make you run twenty laps around the track. You're really something, getting punished before you even got inside."

Ma Lifeng refused to believe it. "Brother Wu, are you sure you heard me right? The mistakes they made are more serious than mine."

Ma Yancheng: "..." Why did his grandfather only make his uncle run twenty laps? His grandfather should have made his uncle run two hundred laps.

Zhou Hanjiang: "..." Uncle, you'll lose me if you do this.

Wu Xiangdong: "I didn't mishear. The commander ordered me to make you run another twenty laps."

Ma Lifeng: "..." Did his father know that Grandma Tian took care of Wanwan while his wife was at school? But that's not his fault, is it? It was the brigade leader who forbade him to take care of her. "I want to protest."

"Protest after you finish running."

"Alright. Yan Cheng, guard the border, let's go."

Ma Yancheng lifted his leg and followed.

Seeing that he had followed, Zhou Hanjiang followed as well. "Should we both run too?"

"Need not."

"Why did your uncle call us two?"

You'll find out soon enough.

As soon as they left, the guards in the guardhouse started talking about it.

A: "Chief Ma is going to be worried again."

B: "Yes."

C: "Do you think Ma Xiaosan secretly ran back on her own?"

Ding: "Impossible. Although Ma Xiaosan often angers Chief Ma, he has never done anything illegal or disorderly."

C: "That's true."

B: "What exactly did Ma Xiaosan do to offend Chief Ma?"

Ding: "Who knows? But Chief Ma must be furious. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made Brother Wu wait for him at the door."

……

Ma Lifeng collapsed to the ground as soon as he finished running.

Ma Yancheng jumped off the horizontal bar after watching him finish. "Let's go."

"oh."

Zhou Hanjiang thought that when he said "Let's go," he meant it was time to go home, but it turned out he meant to carry Ma Lifeng.

Zhou Hanjiang: "..." Isn't Uncle afraid people will laugh at him for doing this? "Uncle, it's after get off work hours now."

"I know. They're used to it."

Zhou Hanjiang: "..."

Zhou Hanjiang looked at Ma Yancheng. Meaning: Really?

Ma Yancheng smiled indulgently. "Before, my father and my second uncle carried it, but after my second brother and I grew up, it was just the two of us who carried it."

Zhou Hanjiang: "..."

Zhou Hanjiang was at a loss for words. "Uncle, does Auntie know about this?"

"I know." Before he had children, he could collapse into a chair and wait for dinner as soon as he finished work.

Zhou Hanjiang: "..."

People leaving get off work all smiled when they saw Ma Lifeng.

"Hey, you're back? Now that you're back, you're not leaving again, are you?"

"Hey, mistress, what did you do to upset your dad again?"

"Third brother, you're something else. You made Uncle Ma angry as soon as you got back."

"Ma Xiaosan, how dare you? How old are you, still needing to be carried like this?"

……

"I'm not leaving."

"I don't know what I did to offend my dad this time."

"Aren't you impressed with me?"

"Sorry. Are you envious of me? If so, just say so. I won't laugh at you."

……

Before Ma Lifeng even got home, everyone in the compound knew he had returned from the countryside.

As soon as Jiang Yuxiu got home from get off work, her second daughter came over. "Mom, Lifeng is back."

Jiang Yuxiu: "..." Why is he back so soon? Wasn't Chief Ma planning to keep him in the countryside for three years? "Did he sneak back on his own?"

Kong Cancan was unhappy when she heard this. "Lifeng won't sneak back. Mom, promise me you'll find someone to play matchmaker for us as soon as Lifeng comes back."

"I did that to stop you from going to the countryside with him."

"I don't care, you promised me anyway."

Didn't she think she could definitely make her second daughter fall for someone else within three years? "Why did you fall for him? What's so great about him?"

"I like him, he's perfect in every way. When are you going to find someone to set us up?"

"I'll discuss it with your dad when he gets back."

"I don't know when my dad will be back. You should go tomorrow, I'm afraid someone else will take him away."

"You can rest assured, you're the only one in the whole compound who thinks he's a good person."

"No, that's not it. You go tomorrow. Otherwise... otherwise I won't go to work."

Jiang Yuxiu: "..." How did she give birth to such a thing? "If you dare not go to work, I'll break your legs."

"Then go tomorrow."

"I'll go tomorrow. Is that alright?"

"Hehe... Let me tell you, you just don't understand him, he..."

Over here, Kong Cancan described Ma Lifeng as something that existed only in heaven and on earth.

Meanwhile, as soon as Ma Lifeng got home, he looked at Ma Jingshan and said, "I want to protest!"

While feeding Xiao Wanwan steamed egg custard, Ma Jingshan said, "You told Xiao Zheng I'm crazy?"

Ma Lifeng: "..." How could he have forgotten about that? "What? If I didn't say you were crazy, Xiao Zheng definitely wouldn't dare marry me. Right, Xiao Zheng?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Chunfang quickly and loudly replied, "Yes!"

"Hmph!" Ma Jingshan glanced at Ma Lifeng. "Come to the study with me after dinner."

Ma Lifeng didn't want to go. "If I don't marry Xiao Zheng, you won't have such a beautiful granddaughter to hold."

"Yan Cheng, Han Jiang, make him run twenty more laps."

Ma Lifeng: "..." He must have been adopted. "I'll go to the study with you after I finish eating."

That's more like it. "Hanjiang, if you're willing, you can call me Grandpa along with Yan Cheng." Zhou Hanjiang is an orphan.

"Yes!" Zhou Hanjiang saluted first, then called out, "Grandpa!"

"Okay. Wash your hands and eat."

"yes!"

After finishing his meal, Ma Lifeng obediently followed his father to the study.

After sitting down, Ma Jingshan pointed to the sofa next to him. "Tell me about the current situation in the countryside, in detail."

Ma Lifeng was a little surprised. "Aren't you going to ask me why I got married as soon as I went to the countryside?"

Ma Jingshan glared at him. "What's there to ask? You just want to marry someone to take care of you, right? Let me tell you, the Ma family doesn't have the habit of abandoning wives and children. If you dare to divorce Xiao Zheng, I'll break your legs."

"I'm not even twenty years old yet, and we haven't gotten our marriage certificate."

Ma Jingshan: "..." Is this kid asking for a beating? "Do you want to run another twenty laps?"
