Jiang Mengxue stood up and introduced them.
"This is Huanhuan, my cousin from my eldest aunt's family. Erhe and Daya went back to Liu's house today, so Huanhuan came to play with me.
This is Liu Tianqi, the grandson of my dad's friend, whom I mentioned to you before."
Then he introduced Gu Qingbei and a few other children to them.
"He is my husband, Gu Qingbei, and there are several children in the family. Gu Chaoyan's nickname is Mobao, Gu Yanchen's nickname is Manman, Gu Chengan's nickname is Zhizhi, Gu Anjin's nickname is Naonao, and Gu Jinchuan's nickname is Baobao."
Gu Qingbei greeted Liu Tianqi and Huanhuan called him brother-in-law in a low voice.
"Huanhuan, I remember she was still a child? How come she's already this big?"
Although Gu Qingbei had never met the Li brothers and sisters, he often heard Jiang Mengxue mention them.
Jiang Mengxue laughed: "No matter how young you are, you will grow up eventually. It's been so many years since we got married."
Huanhuan was only ten or eleven years old when they got married, and it has been six years now.
Gu Qingbei thought so too, but he felt that time passed so quickly that even Mo Bao had grown up into a big boy.
He was about to say something when he heard many people talking outside.
He frowned, not hearing anything happening today.
"Are Qingbei and Mengxue at home? The Liu family came to thank you for coming."
It was the voice of Ma Zhanguo, the brigade secretary.
Jiang Mengxue and Gu Qingbei looked at each other and went out to greet him.
I saw Liu Erhai carrying things on a shoulder pole, with a few pounds of pork hanging on the top and red paper padding underneath.
Following behind were some relatives of the Liu family, as well as people who heard the noise and came over to watch the fun.
No one had time to go to work. The Liu family brought such a valuable gift to the Gu family to express their gratitude, so how could they miss it?
"Secretary, what are you doing? This is too grand."
Even Gu Qingbei felt it was an exaggeration. Something that happened casually was not worthy of such a grand thank you.
But it seemed that except for Gu Qingbei and Jiang Mengxue who were a little embarrassed, everyone else was quite excited.
"Xiao Xi, kneel down and kowtow. If it weren't for your eldest brother and sister-in-law from the Gu family who saved you, you would have fallen into the river and drowned.
They are your saviors and second parents, and you must remember their kindness for the rest of your life."
Sun Fenfen patted Liu Xi's head and gave instructions.
Liu Xi must have been told this at home, so he knelt down on his knees and started to kowtow without stuttering.
Jiang Mengxue hurried forward and helped him up.
"Hey, get up quickly."
Before coming, Sun Fenfen actually wanted Liu Xi to be her godfather and godmother.
But thinking that the Gu family might not agree, and that if you really count, they are of the same generation, he gave up the idea.
Seeing this, Gu Zhenjiang and Li Cuiying smiled like flowers and went to sit in the yard with everyone.
It is a glorious thing to stand up for what is right, and the branch secretary and team leader of the team are here.
"Mobao, hurry up and get some sugar from the cupboard to make some sugar water for everyone."
Li Cuiying went into the house and brought a stool, and also asked Mobao to get some sugar.
Mobao has grown up and knows what happened from the conversations with his family over the past two days.
Liu Erhai invited the branch secretary to his home early in the morning and spent half a day arranging things without even having time to drink a sip of water.
As a result, he took a big gulp of the teacup of water that Li Cuiying handed over.
"Cough cough cough."
Ma Zhanguo didn't expect it to be sugar water, the kind that was so sweet that it almost choked him to death.
Li Cuiying still thought he was drinking too fast: "Slow down, slow down, why are you in such a hurry? I'll ask my eldest grandson to pour you more after you finish drinking."
Jiang Mengxue had a bad feeling about this, so she ran into the kitchen and saw Mo Bao adding sugar to the bowl spoon by spoon.
She could even feel the weight of the water Ma Zhanguo had just drunk.
He walked over and took the spoon from Mo Bao's hand, saying, "Oh my God, how much sugar did you put in a bowl of water? I'm going to choke to death if I drink this.
You go out quickly, I'll take care of it here, I'll make a pot of tea."
Although sugar is relatively precious, sugar water is also considered a very important way to entertain guests.
But who wants to drink sweet water in such hot weather?
Take out the brewed tea from the space and pour it into the pot. If it is too hot, you can’t drink it.
He took a plate and bowl outside.
"Uncle Ma, let me make you some tea. The temperature is just right."
Ma Zhanguo couldn't drink the sugar water in his hand anymore and looked at Jiang Mengxue with gratitude.
He handed the teacup to the grandchildren beside him and let them share it among themselves.
Ma Zhanguo took a sip of tea and smacked his lips, his expression showing how much he enjoyed it.
"This tea is really good, much better than your uncle's tea."
In fact, Gu Zhenxing has a lot of good tea at home, and Gu Qingbei and Gu Zhenghai often send it to him.
But he always felt it was a pity to drink such good tea in the countryside, so he always asked his sons to bring him some broken tea, and he would take the good tea to the city to entertain guests.
He only kept a little for himself, and if any leaders from higher up came to inspect the brigade, he would use it to entertain the leaders.
But it is obvious that Ma Zhanguo is not in this group and can only drink the foamy drink.
Jiang Mengxue also knew her uncle's temper, but there was nothing much to say. It was normal for older people to be reluctant to use anything for themselves and always think about their children at home.
"If Uncle Ma likes it, I'll make some for you and take it back. If you're free, you can always come and have tea with my second uncle. He knows about this, but I can't tell the difference."
As he said this, Gu Zhenjiang walked over carefully.
"What is it that you don't understand, Xiaoxue? Then I don't know even more."
Jiang Mengxue smiled and talked about drinking tea.
