At noon, Fu Bo brought everyone to Deyue Tower, and they immediately felt like they had traveled back to an ancient Jiangnan water town restaurant.
The antique decoration in the store and the warm hospitality of the waiters make it hard to believe that this is the service attitude of the Longxia Hotel in the 1980s. Even though it is a century-old restaurant with public-private partnership, compared with the service attitude of those state-owned hotels outside, this place is simply heaven.
Because he had done his homework in advance, Xu Jianguo gave the task of ordering food to Fu Bo, and the most famous dishes in Deyue Tower, such as squirrel mandarin fish and Deyue chicken, appeared on the menu.
The squirrel mandarin fish is shaped like a lively squirrel. The fish body is fried until golden and crispy, and is topped with a sweet and sour sauce, which is full of color, aroma and taste.
Deyuetong chicken has yellow skin and tender meat, is full of fragrance, and is fresh and smooth when eaten.
The lunch made everyone extremely satisfied. Before leaving, Xu Jianguo even packed up several Deyue chickens at Funiu's strong request.
Since they were too full after lunch, everyone prepared to continue their shopping trip. They did not miss out on anything, such as the lotus leaf steamed pork with rice flour from Songhelou, the pine nut marshmallows and black plum cakes from Caizhizhai, and the pickled Chunyang ham and bacon. They bought everything.
Fortunately, Xu Jianguo had made preparations in advance. There were a relatively complete set of various bills in the space, and the quantity was very considerable. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with.
The last stop was Gan Taixiang.
The store's wide variety of silk and Suzhou embroidery products is dazzling.
The colorful silk fabrics are soft and smooth to the touch, and the patterns on the exquisite Suzhou embroidery handkerchiefs, screens and other embroidery products are lifelike, with every stitch and thread demonstrating the exquisite craftsmanship of the embroidery workers.
The women selected some ready-made clothes and bought a few Suzhou embroidery decorative paintings to use as decorations in their homes.
There are far more century-old shops in Gusu City than the ones Xu Jianguo and his friends visited today, but due to limited time, they can only choose the ones they are interested in.
It was not until around three o'clock in the afternoon that the group returned home. Although everyone was a little tired, their faces were filled with satisfied smiles.
Especially the little foodies, who kept eating along the way, and their little bellies were so full of food.
Xu Jianguo was worried that she would have indigestion, so he used traditional Chinese medicine techniques to give her a gentle massage to promote gastrointestinal motility. The itchy feeling made the little girl lying on the bed giggle and shout "Chichi, it's itchy!" while laughing, which made Xu Jianguo look helpless.
After returning home and packing up briefly, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Xu Jianguo did not take a nap in the rocking chair today. Instead, he returned to the bedroom and had a sweet sleep with Wensi in his arms.
The sleep was particularly sound, and the whole family did not wake up until around six o'clock in the evening.
Since the food they ate during the day was quite greasy, Xu Jianguo asked Xu Xiaoshi to prepare a table of lighter meals for dinner so that everyone's stomachs could get a good rest.
After dinner, Xu Jianguo took his whole family back to the space, while Fu Bo came to the outside of the yard and locked the gate with a big lock. Then, taking advantage of the night, he took the two jeeps parked in the distance back into the space, and he himself disappeared on the spot.
When everyone appeared again, they had returned to the old house in Jinling.
Because the day after tomorrow is the day when Wenwen will report to the Army Command College, Xu Jianguo brought his whole family back to Jinling overnight, preparing to rest for a day tomorrow and send Wenwen to school the day after tomorrow.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the day for Wenwen to report to school.
After having breakfast at the old house, the family took a car to the Army Command College.
Considering that Wen Wen had a lot of luggage, Xu Jianguo, in order to prevent his eldest son from causing discussion among others at school, discussed with Wen Sitian before leaving. He planned to let him carry a bag containing daily necessities to check in first, and then let Fu Bo deliver the other luggage little by little after he settled down.
Wen Sitian was also having a headache at this time. She didn't think it was a lot when she was packing, but now when she looked at the six large suitcases, she felt that it was inappropriate to carry all these things to report to school, so she nodded in agreement.
The early morning sun shines on the campus of Jinling Army Command College. As it is midsummer, the campus is shaded by green trees. The propaganda boards on both sides of the road are full of slogans, school mottos and school calendars that reflect the times, showing the glorious history of the college.
Two jeeps arrived at the entrance of the academy. Xu Jianguo took out his officer certificate and the steadily-held admission letter and handed them to the sentry. After the sentry read it, he immediately stood at attention and saluted. Just as he was about to say hello, Captain, he was stopped by Xu Jianguo.
The sentry was slightly stunned, but immediately understood what Xu Jianguo meant. He nodded, returned the certificate and admission letter, and lifted the barrier to let them pass.
Although Xu Jianguo did not wear a military uniform when he came to Jinling this time, the sentry could tell the authenticity of his officer certificate at a glance and did not dare to neglect it at all.
The campus was crowded with people at this time, and people in military uniforms could be seen everywhere. It looked no different from an ordinary military camp.
As the military institution of higher learning of Longxia State, the Army Command College does not admit as many new students each year as other comprehensive universities, but it is not a small number either.
For students who can come here, the first thing they can be sure of is a clean background, and academic performance is secondary.
At this time, at the new student registration area, the students were full of anticipation, lined up neatly, and went through the registration procedures one by one. The parents stood in the distance and watched their children in tacit understanding. The entire registration scene looked orderly.
After Xu Jianguo asked Fu Bo to park the car under the shade of a tree in the distance, he led everyone out of the car.
When he was not far from the end of the line, he patted his steady shoulder and said with a smile: "Son, go get in line, we'll wait for you over there!"
"Okay, Dad!" He nodded steadily, looked at Wen Sitian and said with a smile, "Mom, I'm going to queue up!"
Wen Sitian helped her eldest son tidy up his clothes and said with a smile, "My son is so handsome, let's go!"
Wenwen scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then said something to his three aunts and younger brothers and sisters, then walked towards the end of the line with his handbag.
Today, Wenwen was wearing the neat clothes that his mother had prepared for him. He stood tall and his eyes were filled with determination and expectation.
Standing at the end of the team, his posture is as straight and steady as a green pine or cypress, standing tall and proud, revealing an innate heroic spirit.
His lips are of moderate thickness, and when he smiles, he looks especially like Wen Sitian. His white and neat teeth make him look even more sunny and handsome.
With his short, thick black hair, he looks neat and energetic, a truly charming little handsome guy.
As he walked, he seemed to be shining with his own light, attracting the attention of people around him.
