Standing on the mountain road at the entrance of the village, looking at the small village shrouded in clouds and mist, Wen Sitian's eyes lit up and she said with a smile, "Jianguo, your village is so beautiful!"
"Sweet sister, sweet sister, look over there, that's my and Gaga's home!" Funiu stretched out her little hand, pointing to a courtyard on the hillside in the distance and said.
Wen Sitian looked in the direction of Funiu's finger and saw the small courtyard. She smiled and said, "Yes, sister saw it."
Funiu happily took the hands of the two and said, "Haha, sweet sister, let's go home quickly!"
"Okay, let's go home!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
The three of them walked slowly along the path towards home. They met some villagers on the way, and Xu Jianguo and Funiu greeted them with a smile. Wen Sitian was stared at all the way, and her face flushed as she followed Xu Jianguo with her head down.
Finally, the three of them returned home. As soon as they entered the yard, Xiao Hei ran in with his tail wagging, rubbing against Funiu and Xu Jianguo.
Funiu hugged Xiao Hei's big head and said, "Xiao Hei, this is my sweet sister, you must not be mean to her!"
"Woof woof!" Xiao Hei barked twice, wagging his tail and came to Wen Sitian, rubbing her trouser leg enthusiastically.
"Sitian, can you touch its head? Is it okay?" Xu Jianguo said.
Wen Sitian nodded, reached out and touched Xiao Hei's head, and said with a smile: "Hello, Xiao Hei!"
Seeing Wen Sitian stroking it, Xiao Hei's tail wagged even more happily, which made Wen Sitian giggle.
"Sister Tian, look, that's the snowman my brother and I made!" Funiu said, pulling Wen Sitian's hand.
Wen Sitian looked in the direction Funiu pointed and saw a chubby snowman standing in the corner of the yard.
"Let's go inside and warm up. I'll cook for you!" Xu Jianguo said, then took the two of them into the house.
Wen Sitian looked carefully at the furnishings in the room. Although it looked old, it was very clean.
After lighting the stove, Xu Jianguo took out the ginger soup that he had cooked in advance from the space and poured a bowl for Wen Sitian and Fu Niu respectively.
"Come, take off your shoes, get on the kang, and drink the ginger soup while it's hot!" Xu Jianguo said.
Wen Sitian was still a little embarrassed. She felt that it was her first time visiting someone else's home, and it would be very impolite to sit on the kang directly.
While she was still struggling, Funiu had already hugged her thighs and said, "Sweet sister, come on the kang quickly, it's warm there!"
Unable to resist the little girl's constant nagging, Wen Sitian finally took off her cotton shoes and sat on the kang with Funiu in her arms.
"Sister Tian, drink the ginger soup quickly. The ginger soup we cooked is so delicious!" Funiu said, then she picked up the big bowl and started drinking it in small sips. The sweet taste made her big eyes squint into crescents again.
Wen Sitian also picked up the bowl and took a sip. A look of surprise appeared on her face, and a sense of happiness arose spontaneously.
Xu Jianguo came to the main room, took out rice, flour, grain and oil from the space and arranged them, then took out a slaughtered chicken, a fish, a large piece of pork and some vegetables.
After preparing everything, Xu Jianguo brought three bowls of mutton noodles prepared by Du Yu into the house. The rich aroma immediately whetted the appetites of the two beauties who had been starving for a long time.
After Xu Jianguo sat down and started eating first, Funiu and Wen Sitian also started eating with big mouthfuls.
The chewy and smooth noodles intertwined with the tender lamb melt in your mouth and are intoxicating.
The three of them ate noodles while chatting about every little thing that happened in the past year. Both Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian felt that the past year was like a dream. Even Funiu sighed and said that the food her brother cooked was so delicious that she had gained weight. Her serious tone coupled with her cute little face made the two of them laugh.
After dinner, Xu Jianguo took out the washed fruits and placed them on the kang table. Wen Sitian and Funiu, like him, stared at them with their big eyes without blinking.
"Don't just look at it, it's for you to eat, come and try it!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
Wen Sitian's eyes were a little red, thinking about the fact that the only fruit she had eaten in the past ten years was hawthorn. In the past, there were apples or something in her family, but they were all left by her stepmother to her half-brother.
It was not until she met Xu Jianguo that there was a ray of light in her dark life. As their relationship grew closer, Xu Jianguo brought her more and more warmth. He was like the sun, dispelling all the darkness in her life.
Just when Wen Sitian was in a daze, Funiu stuffed a big, round grape into her mouth and said, "Sister Tian, try it! This grape is so sweet!"
"Okay, thank you Funiu, you eat too!" Wen Sitian said with a smile.
While a few people were chatting, the entire Sandaliang Village was discussing the fact that Xu Jianguo brought a beautiful girl back to the village to celebrate the New Year.
Many people thought that this might be Xu Jianguo's girlfriend, but some people also felt that it was immoral to go to a man's house to celebrate the New Year before getting married.
Xu Jianguo didn't know about these things, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He just hoped that those people would not gossip about them in front of him, otherwise he wouldn't mind teaching some people a profound lesson.
Looking at the time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Xu Jianguo decided to go to Mr. Li Dashan's house to pick him up.
Before leaving, Xu Jianguo took out two sets of bright red thermal underwear prepared for Funiu and Wen Sitian from the space, and told them to try them at home, as he was going to pick up Mr. Li Dashan.
After leaving the courtyard, Xu Jianguo went straight to the direction of Mr. Li Dashan's house.
