Xu Jianguo came to the wine cellar next to the supermarket and took out two bottles of Moutai. After opening the Eye of Time and Space, he found that there were only three-quarters of wine left in the bottles. The wine had become slightly yellow and looked a bit sticky. After a rough calculation, he found that after nearly three months, the flow rate had doubled, and these Moutai wines had become 30-year-old aged wines in the cellar.
Xu Jianguo left the space and put the Moutai liquor into the kang cabinet to drink during the New Year. Then he took out the stove and chimney, went to his parents' former room, and began to assemble them.
Soon, the stove was assembled. Xu Jianguo went to the yard to shovel some coal, and took some firewood and hay. After lighting the stove, he tested it. The chimney did not leak or backflow, so he nodded with satisfaction.
After finishing everything, Xu Jianguo looked at the time and found that it was not yet ten o'clock. He was worried that he would not be able to explain clearly if he went to pick up Funiu now, so he lingered at home for a while.
When it was 12 noon, Xu Jianguo left home and walked towards Li Mancang's house.
When Xu Jianguo arrived at Li Mancang's yard, he was about to call for help when he heard Funiu's crying from inside the house. His heart tightened and he quickly opened the door and walked in.
At this time, Fu Niu was being held in Zhang Meijuan's arms, constantly comforting her. Her cute little face was covered with tears, and she sobbed from time to time. Xu Jianguo had never seen Fu Niu like this before, so he hurried over and asked, "Auntie, Fu Niu, what's wrong?"
When Funniu saw Xu Jianguo, she immediately struggled in Zhang Meijuan's arms. Zhang Meijuan had no choice but to put her on the ground. Funiu rushed into Xu Jianguo's arms with her short legs, and then burst into tears.
Xu Jianguo quickly picked up the little girl, looked at Zhang Meijuan and asked, "Auntie, what happened to Funiu?"
Zhang Meijuan sighed and said, "This morning, Funiu followed Shitou outside to play with other children. Somehow, the children started talking about Funiu's master. Then Li Erleng's youngest son said that Funiu's master was dead and that his father had buried him personally. Funiu got anxious and pushed the child, then ran back crying."
Xu Jianguo couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said, "Aunt, it's okay. Funiu will know sooner or later. I'll take her back first. Please take care of her."
"It's okay, there's nothing wrong with it. Go back and comfort her. Children forget things quickly. She'll be fine in a few days."
"Okay, Auntie, we'll be leaving first!"
After leaving Li Mancang's house, Xu Jianguo walked towards his home with Funiu in his arms. On the way, Funiu hugged his neck tightly without saying a word.
After returning home, Xu Jianguo carried Funniu to the kang, then filled a basin with hot water and wiped her face. Then he took a bottle of calcium milk from the space supermarket and handed it to the little girl, but she did not take it.
Xu Jianguo felt a tightness in his heart, wondering if this girl had a mental problem.
Placing the calcium milk on the kang table, Xu Jianguo picked up Funiu, looked into her swollen eyes, and said, "Funiu, I apologize for what happened today. I actually knew about your master's situation a long time ago, but you had just been rescued and were too weak, so I didn't tell you. I hope you can forgive me, okay?"
Funiu still didn't say anything, but just lay on Xu Jianguo's shoulder and sobbed softly.
Xu Jianguo continued, "Funiu, when I met you and your master, your master was already covered in wounds and on the brink of life and death. But despite this, he still protected you in his arms and didn't let you get hurt at all. But at that time, you had already fallen into a coma due to a fever. It was your master who desperately asked me to save you first. You can say that your life was given by your master, so I feel that you can hate me, but you shouldn't let your master down. After all, it was he who gave up his own hope to save you."
After Xu Jianguo finished speaking, he didn't continue talking. After a while, he heard Fu Niu's voice: "Haha, I'm hungry!"
Xu Jianguo exhaled, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Okay, brother will go cook for you now!"
Putting Funiu on the kang, Xu Jianguo reached out and scratched her little nose, then handed her the calcium milk beside her. The little girl reached out to take it, drank it in big gulps, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.
Xu Jianguo came to the main room and communicated with Du Yu in the space with his mind. When he learned that she had already prepared lunch, he immediately nodded with satisfaction.
When Xu Jianguo looked at the several plates in front of him, his face froze. He thought that Du Yu was too wasteful. He would have to talk to her later and ask her to make less next time.
Braised lion's head, squirrel carp, scrambled eggs with shrimp, spinach egg drop soup, served with rice.
When a table full of dishes was placed on the kang table, Funiu's eyes finally showed her former brilliance, and she stared at the dishes on the plate with her mouth watering.
Xu Jianguo wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up a large piece of fish for her. The fish had been processed by Du Yu, so there was no need to worry about fish bones. The little girl began to eat it in big mouthfuls.
After the two finished their meal, Xu Jianguo cleaned up the dishes, then took out an orange from the space, cut it, and placed it in front of Funiu.
The little girl looked at the fruit in front of her, not knowing how to eat it, and could only look to Xu Jianguo for help.
Xu Jianguo picked up an orange slice, squeezed out the flesh with his thumb, and then put it to Funiu's mouth.
The little girl swallowed the orange flesh in one gulp. The juicy orange pulp instantly burst in her mouth, and the sweet taste filled her entire mouth, which immediately made her little eyes squint into crescent shapes again.
Xu Jianguo sat on the kang, watching Funiu eat oranges, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.
At this moment, Funiu suddenly stopped what she was doing and asked, "Haha, can you take me to see my master?"
Xu Jianguo didn't expect Funiu to ask this question. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow morning!"
"Thank you, haha!" Funiu said.
Xu Jianguo touched her little head and said, "You're welcome!"
After Funiu finished eating the orange, Xu Jianguo took out the well water from the space for her to drink. After cleaning the peel, he told the little girl a story and coaxed her to sleep.
Just when Xu Jianguo wanted to take a nap, he heard a noisy sound coming from outside the yard.
Xu Jianguo got off the kang, pushed open the door and walked out. As soon as he went out, he saw Li Erleng's family of three standing outside the yard.
"Jianguo, your girl pushed my son down and his cotton-padded jacket was torn. What do you think we should do about this?" Li Erleng's wife Bai Yumin put her hands on her hips and shouted loudly.
