Xu Jianbing looked at his father with a smile, "Don't worry, Dad. I will take good care of them."
Xu Jianjun also nodded and said, "I will go to Beijing to pick up Manman during the holidays so that my mother can rest assured."
Xu Lei put down his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Xu Lei did not get on the bus. He watched from under the bus as several people settled down in the carriage. He waited until the bus drove away before turning around and starting the jeep to return.
It was the same itinerary as before, taking a bus from Bai City to Ning City, and then taking a train from Ning City to Hai City.
In fact, my eldest cousin's school is in Shonan City, so he took a detour by going to Hai City first. However, he hasn't been back to Hai City for several years, so he chose to send his younger brother and sister home first, and also meet his second uncle and younger uncle. Anyway, there are still a few days before school starts, so it's no problem to stay in Hai City for two days.
On the way back, because the time was arranged perfectly, we didn't stay on the road for too long, so it took less time than the way here.
However, when several people arrived in Hai City, they were basically pickled like pickles. Even Xu Manman herself, although she was able to sneak into the space to take a combat shower, after all, her two soldiers were there, so she only dared to wash her face and the part below her neck, and only dared to change her underwear.
No matter how particular I am, my hair and clothes have become stained after riding in the car for so many days.
It was evening when they arrived in Hai City. My uncle, who had received a telegram in advance, called a car to pick them up. He first sent Xu Manman and the others to the textile factory's staff quarters, dropped them off, and then took Xu Jianbing, Xu Jianjun, Xu Jianmin, and Xu Jianan away. Because the new house allocated to my uncle's family was larger, my eldest and second brothers stayed there for the next two days.
As soon as Xu Manman got home and put down her luggage, Chen Meiyu said, "Put these here for now and I'll clean them up later. I've burned your hands, go wash them first." The towels and clothes were ready and handed directly to her.
Xu Manman followed her mother's strength and went to the bathroom. The smell on her body was unbearable for herself, not to mention for others.
However, thinking that she could rub it properly when she returned to the space later, she did not stay in the bathroom for too long. She simply washed her hair and took a shower before coming out.
Xu Manman came out with a towel on her head and a small basin of clean clothes in her hands. She called her brother, "Jianguo, there's a bottle of boiling water. Go wash."
"Okay, sis."
When she finished hanging up the clothes and went into the room, she found that her mother had already packed all the luggage.
"Mom, didn't you say you could clean up after I was done?"
Chen Meiyu beckoned her daughter to sit down, then took a towel and wiped her hair. "It's just a matter of convenience. It's a good thing you didn't get tanned after this trip. Your brother's is as dark as a diamond."
Xu Manman told her mother about her job as a teaching assistant there. "I spend most of my time in the office and never get any sun. Jianguo trains outside with his brothers every day, so it's hard not to get tanned."
Xu Gang poked his head in and said, "Nannan, you must be hungry. Daddy has heated up some rice porridge. Do you want to eat some first?"
They had been rushing on the road these days, and the air in the car was not very good. In the enclosed space, Xu Manman didn't dare to use an air purifier, which resulted in her having a poor appetite these days. But now that her father had prepared it, Xu Manman didn't want to waste their kindness.
Chen Meiyu loosely tied up her daughter's half-dry hair with a hairband.
Xu Manman got up and went to the living room. Xu Gang had already put the meal on the table. The staple food was simple rice soup, but there were five or six side dishes, including fried peppers sent from Hunan Province, pickles she had bought in Beijing, and freshly opened canned meat...
That is to say, the portion is a little smaller, but the richness is no less than a full meal.
At this time, Xu Jianguo also came out of the shower, and the family of four sat around the table and ate some soaked rice.
However, during this period of training with his brothers in the camp, Xu Jianguo's appetite increased. He scraped the bottom of the pot clean but still felt unfulfilled. In the end, Chen Meiyu took out the bread for tomorrow's breakfast from the cupboard and gave it to him. He ate a whole large piece of bread with chili sauce, and only then was he able to fill his stomach.
Xu Gang pinched the strong muscles on his son's arm and said, "It's good to practice with your uncle. But, wife, our food expenses will have to increase in the future."
"It's okay. Our family can still afford this little bit of food. Besides, you see, I learned to cook from our daughter this summer vacation. I can cook whatever I want to eat in the future." She was happy to have some free time.
After eating, Xu Manman was no longer sleepy. She found a can of yellow peaches in the cupboard, poured them out and divided them into four small bowls, which the family members shared as dessert after dinner.
Xu Gang took a sip of the sugar water, then thought of something. He put down the bowl and took out a few pieces of paper from the briefcase beside the sofa.
