Chapter 252: He really knows how to win people’s hearts!
Here, Ding Lanyi had just finished taking a shower when Li Kun came over.
"Sister-in-law, Lu Tuan asked me to take you there first. The seats there have been arranged."
"Well, sit down for a while. I'll go call Sister Guifen."
Gu Xiaoxi put on a pair of thermos gloves and went out.
Gu Dachuan hurriedly seized the opportunity, poured hot water, and took a combat bath.
Twenty minutes later, Gu Xiaoxi asked the family to take the things, then called Li Kun into the room and pointed to a covered bamboo basket and said, "Take this away."
Li Kun picked it up and found it quite heavy, so he asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what is this?"
Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips and smiled, "Open it and take a look."
Li Kun opened the lid without saying a word.
When he found that the box was filled with roast chicken and duck wrapped in wax paper, he was completely stunned.
This... this is too much!
"Ten roast chickens and ten roast ducks. Take them over and have them cut up so that our warriors can have some extra food."
"Sister-in-law, you are so kind to us!" Li Kun's eyes suddenly became hot.
"Who told you that you are all soldiers under Lu Jiansen. Go quickly! My parents and I have prepared glutinous rice balls and wontons, take them over and we will cook them first."
"Yes." Li Kun was so happy that he ran away with the bamboo basket in his arms.
He has to walk faster and tell everyone the good news!
At the family compound, Li Guifen and Feng Xia were already waiting with the vegetables and their children.
After Gu Xiaoxi met up with them, they went to the troops together, chatting and laughing.
In fact, it has only been two days since I last came, but the troops are now brand new.
Gu Xiaoxi saw from a distance the red platform with a wedding character on it at the front of the playground.
Both sides of the playground were neatly lined with tables and chairs, with an old red carpet in the middle separating the first and second groups, adding a touch of New Year joy.
Needless to say, this festive path is for the newlyweds getting married today.
At the front of the first and second regiments, there were two tables where the military district leaders sat.
After Gu Xiaoxi passed by, he was assigned a seat in the second row below the leader's seats.
Because the weather was cold, a charcoal brazier was placed on each table, and an iron pot was placed on top of the brazier to prevent the food from getting cold.
The dishes that everyone brought were placed around the charcoal fire basin that was specially made higher and wider.
Everyone sat together, creating a lively atmosphere.
"Mom, can my brother and I go out and play for a while?" Li Guifen's eldest son Wang Zhenzhen asked in a low voice.
"Don't run too far!" Li Guifen did not hold them back.
When Wang Zhenzhen heard this, he immediately pulled his brother and ran away.
Feng Xia's daughter Qi Hui nervously pulled her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I want to go play too."
Feng Xia looked embarrassed. "Don't run around by yourself. Wait for Brother Zhenzhen and the others to come back and ask them to take you out to play, okay?"
Qi Hui, who was only five years old, did not dare to refute, but lowered her head unhappily.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at the boys running and jumping in the distance, then he became distracted and bought a box of colorful balloons from the exchange mall and put them in the new product showroom.
Then, she pretended to touch her pocket and picked out two pink balloons for Qi Hui.
"This is a New Year's gift from your aunt. Xiaohui, would you like to play with the balloons?"
When Qi Hui saw the pink balloon, she couldn't take her eyes off it, but she didn't dare to take it and just looked at her mother.
Feng Xia smiled and touched her daughter's head, "Why don't you thank Aunt Gu?"
"Thank you, Auntie Gu!" Qi Hui thanked her sweetly, and her baby voice sounded especially adorable.
While Xiao Qihui was concentrating on blowing up the balloon, Wang Zhenzhen and the others also ran over.
Gu Xiaoxi also gave each of them two balloons, one blue and one purple, which were very beautiful.
The three children were playing with balloons, and many other children who had come from the same courtyard gathered around them.
Some children even asked their parents to come and ask Gu Xiaoxi to buy balloons.
Gu Xiaoxi’s food was of course not easy to sell, but he gave each child a balloon.
Yes, the other kids just gave a balloon.
Despite this, the children were happy.
Feng Xia and Li Guifen felt warmed by Gu Xiaoxi's preference for their own children!
The children's laughter was undoubtedly the best blessing for the New Year. Gu Xiaoxi was actually a little dazed watching them.
Feng Xia smiled and joked, "It seems that Xiaoxi also likes children!"
Gu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded. "The children are so cute! They are so carefree. Listening to their laughter makes me hungry!"
Lu Jianlin, who had been silent the whole time, glanced at her who actually hadn't eaten anything, and couldn't help but feel a little amused.
His sister-in-law is actually like a child too!
Half an hour later, the soldiers and their families arrived one after another.
Gu Xiaoxi vaguely heard many people talking about what dishes they brought and what dishes others brought.
Some people say this just as a genuine discussion, while some people's tone is full of comparison.
Among these voices, she also heard the voices of Old Lady Yin and Gu Xinli in the Second Group.
Basically, they brought braised pork and braised fish tonight, both of which were delicious vegetables and were prepared with great care.
Amidst the noise, Li Kun, Zhuan Zi, Lu Xiangqian, and two little warriors came over, each carrying two bowls of glutinous rice balls.
"Sister-in-law, these are freshly cooked glutinous rice balls. Please take a break and eat less. The cafeteria is still preparing the New Year's Eve dinner! Please wait a little longer."
"Yes. Thank you!" Gu Xiaoxi saw that there were not many glutinous rice balls in the bowl, only four, so he took it and ate it.
If it's too much, she won't have to eat dinner at night.
"There are also glutinous rice balls this year! Hey, they are filled with peanuts and sesame seeds, so delicious!" Feng Xia took a bite, her eyes full of surprise.
Li Guifen smiled and explained: "This was made by Xiaoxi girl and sent over. We are lucky to have enjoyed it."
Feng Xia suddenly realized, "I thought so! In the past, when the troops made glutinous rice balls, they had no filling at all."
As soon as Gu Xiaoxi and his friends started eating the glutinous rice balls, soon all the family members and soldiers here also started eating the glutinous rice balls.
The people in the second group looked puzzled, and those who wanted to eat hurried to ask.
When they found out that it was Lu Jiansen's wife who brought it here specially, many of them kept silent for the sake of saving their reputation.
But some people also go there to eat glutinous rice balls.
Among them were Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Gu.
Gu Xinli sat in her seat, clenching her hands into fists gloomily.
Gu Xiaoxi was really generous. He used the fine white flour to make so many glutinous rice balls and distributed them to the troops.
It really wins people's hearts!
Gu Xiaoxi had just eaten two glutinous rice balls when Lu Jiansen came over.
After greeting everyone, he naturally sat down next to his little girl.
Gu Xiaoxi handed him the bowl and said, "Here, eat!"
"Okay." Lu Jiansen took the bowl with a smile and ate the glutinous rice balls in two or three bites.
Not long after they finished eating the dumplings, Li Kun and his friends took away the empty bowls and brought wontons.
The number of wontons is not large, four per person.
Gu Xiaoxi only ate one and gave the rest to Lu Jiansen.
