"The university student from our village is back!" Ge Dongxu got off at the entrance to Ge Family Village, and all the villagers he encountered along the way greeted him with smiling faces. The way they looked at him also seemed to carry a hint of awe, as if this kid who once ran wild around the village had suddenly become a notable figure.

This made Ge Dongxu suddenly very uncomfortable, thinking it was a good thing that in the eyes of these familiar villagers, he was just a university student. If they knew about his other identity, he guessed they wouldn't even dare to greet him on the road.

Thinking about his own parents, Ge Dongxu suddenly felt that their low-key choices were very appropriate. They had spent half their lives in the village, familiar faces and good friends were all villagers. If suddenly, these relationships changed, were they supposed to adapt to a new environment and make new friends at their age?

Even if they wanted to blend in, it would probably be difficult, especially for his father, who had been a farmer for half his life and wasn't very educated. Some things were deeply ingrained in him, and thrusting him suddenly into upper-class society would just make things difficult for him.

Moreover, the complicated interpersonal relationships and complex human hearts in the upper levels were definitely not suitable for his father.

When Ge Dongxu arrived home, it was already three in the afternoon. Since guests and playing usually ran late, they had just sent off the last wave of guests. His dad was busy clearing the table.

"Dad, I'm back," Ge Dongxu called out as he approached.

"You finally decided to come back?" Ge Shengming, seeing it was his son, gave him a stern look.

It wasn't easy for the Ge Family to have a university student, and just like Xu Suya, Ge Shengming had also been eagerly waiting for the college entrance examination results. But his son not only disappeared without a trace, but had also tossed such an important matter aside, making them have to call him to inquire about it, naturally, Ge Shengming had his reservations!

"Hehe! This is my home, of course, I had to come back." Ge Dongxu put down his things, went up and playfully hugged his dad's shoulder.

"Alright, alright, have you eaten?" Even if Ge Shengming had his reservations not long ago, they had actually already disappeared. Now, it was just an act for his son to see, lest he become too unruly in the future. Now that his son hugged his shoulder, Ge Shengming could no longer keep a straight face and asked him about his meal with concern.

"Not yet, but I'm not hungry at all. By the way, where's Mom?" Ge Dongxu responded with a smile, then looked around.

"What time is it now, and you still haven't eaten? What if you ruin your stomach? I'll cook some dishes for you." Ge Shengming glared at his son and quickly put down the dishrag to help prepare a few dishes.

"Really, Dad, I don't need it. I can go days without food. Besides, it's already past three o'clock, let's just wait a bit and have dinner." Ge Dongxu quickly held back his dad.

Ge Shengming, knowing his son's capabilities, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "That works too. Let's eat dinner earlier when your mom gets back."

"Mom went to Grandpa's house?" Ge Dongxu asked again.

"No, she went to learn driving," Ge Shengming replied.

"Learn driving? Mom went to learn driving?" Ge Dongxu couldn't help but feel surprised.

"What's the matter? You look down on your mom? If your dad can learn, why can't I?" Ge Shengming's words had just fallen when Xu Suya's voice came from outside.

"Mom!" Seeing it was his mom who returned, Ge Dongxu quickly went up and gave her a hug, additionally praising her, "Wow, Mom, you look younger and prettier!"

"Tsk tsk, college students are really different; their words are so sweet, unlike your dad, who has lived with me for most of our lives and has never said such things to me," Xu Suya said with a smile, glancing at Ge Shengming as she spoke.

"We're an old couple now, wouldn't it be cheesy to say those things!" Ge Shengming retorted nonchalantly.

"Dad, that's where you're wrong. Look at those Westerners; they're old and still traveling together as a couple! You guys are just how old now? The good life has just begun not long ago. You can't have an old mindset. Besides, haven't you noticed that mom really is getting more beautiful with each passing day?" Ge Dongxu said, laughing as he critiqued.

In the past two or three years, he had often accompanied Liu Jiayao to Mingyue Lake's revolving restaurant for meals. There, he indeed came across many foreign old men and women with white hair, traveling together, clinking glasses, and gazing affectionately at each other, never feeling old at all.

"Dongxu, don't bother telling your dad these things. I believe he'll never understand them in this lifetime," Xu Suya said, giving Ge Shengming another glance.

"Don't worry, mom, I'll take on the job of educating dad," Ge Dongxu said, patting his chest. Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire

"Hey, son, this sounds a bit odd to me. Don't tell me you've already found a daughter-in-law for me?" Xu Suya asked, scrutinizing Ge Dongxu with an interrogatory look.

"Cough cough!" Ge Dongxu's heart thumped wildly at his mom's words, feeling utterly guilty.

Although he strutted around impressively outside, in front of his mother he was still genuinely an eighteen-year-old boy, and eighteen was clearly too young to be finding a daughter-in-law.

He indeed felt too embarrassed to tell his mom that he had not only found her a daughter-in-law outside but more than one.

"Mom, it's still early. It's still early. Oh, didn't you go to learn driving? How is it going?" Ge Dongxu finally felt too shy to mention Liu Jiayao and the others, cleverly changing the subject.

Typically, beginners in driving are always interested in conversations about cars, and sure enough, as Ge Dongxu diverted the topic, Xu Suya's attention immediately shifted.

Of course, this was also because Xu Suya didn't expect that her young son had already found her a daughter-in-law, otherwise nothing could have shifted her focus from that matter.

"I'm learning well, the instructor said I have a good knack for it, much better than your dad," Xu Suya said excitedly and proudly.

"That's for sure, my mom is well-educated!" Ge Dongxu responded with a laugh.

"You rascal, making fun of your dad again, right? What does driving have to do with education?" Ge Shengming complained as he swatted his son's head lightly.

"Dad, wasn't I just trying to cheer mom up? Can't you just be a bit more generous and play the supporting role?" Ge Dongxu said, touching his head and smiling wryly.

Taken aback, Ge Shengming then lightly hit Ge Dongxu's head again and said, "Why didn't you say that earlier?"

"I'm telling you, dad, you're going to knock the smarts right out of me," Ge Dongxu said, touching his head and smiling bitterly, "Just think back on how formidable and awe-inspiring I was in the capital, in Linzhou, in Myanmar... but at home, I'm just the one who gets hit."
