When Xu Jianguo returned home, Wen Sitian and Lin Wan had just finished lunch with the children.
"Huh? Why are you back at this time?" Wen Sitian asked when she saw a smile on Xu Jianguo's face.
"It's okay. I just finished an exchange meeting with the General Staff and the Jingzhou Weapons Research Institute. I may be very busy in the afternoon, so I took advantage of this moment of free time to come back and see you!" Xu Jianguo straightened her hair and said with a smile.
Lin Wan looked at the two people who were so close to each other, and a warm smile appeared on her face. She said, "Auntie is at home, don't worry!"
"Hehe, don't worry, one hundred percent don't worry, but being worried won't stop me from thinking about my wife!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"You're not a good person!" Wen Sitian's pretty face turned red and she slapped Xu Jianguo.
Lin Wan also rolled her eyes at Xu Jianguo and said nothing, but from her expression, it was obvious that she was very satisfied with Xu Jianguo's attitude towards his wife.
She and Ma Guoliang have been married for decades and are well versed in the ways of husband and wife. As long as a man has his home and his wife in his heart, life in the family will definitely not be bad, and the people in the family will always feel the warmth of home.
"Brother, brother, are you coming back to stay tonight?" Funiu ran over and asked.
Xu Jianguo squatted down, touched her little head, and said with a smile: "I have something to do tonight, so I won't be back to stay. You have to be obedient at home, okay?"
"I'm very obedient. If you don't believe me, you can ask my aunt and sister-in-law. Sisters Da Ya and Er Ya can also prove it!" Fu Niu said with a smile.
"Okay, brother believes you!" Xu Jianguo said, and then he took out a handful of fruit gummies and a handful of yokan from his bag like a magic trick and put them in the hands of the three girls.
When the three girls saw that there was something delicious, they were immediately very happy.
Xu Jianguo looked at the time, said hello to a few people, then left home and walked towards the headquarters.
Xu Jianguo continued to spend the afternoon discussing with everyone, and the enthusiastic atmosphere was pushed to its peak when Su Dingshan and Ma Guoliang arrived.
Finally, with the old man's encouragement, a group of staff working on the front line of scientific research left the meeting room with shining eyes, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
It was also because of the arrival of the two leaders that Shi Zhen and others once again missed the opportunity to make friends with Xu Jianguo.
After the three of them chatted for a while, they stood up and left the meeting room.
Su Dingshan was in a good mood the whole day because the bullet in his head was removed by Xu Jianguo. So when he came out of the headquarters, he told Tai Wei and others to go back first, and he took Ma Guoliang and Xu Jianguo and slowly walked towards home.
On the way, Ma Guoliang and Xu Jianguo talked about the base's handling of Wei Fuhai, and also specifically emphasized that this matter was personally supervised by the old man.
The reason was that when they were at the company today, they accidentally heard several soldiers from the guard company talking about it. After the old man knew about this matter, he slammed the table and even criticized Ma Guoliang severely.
The final decision was to demote him from deputy regimental commander to company commander and send him to an airport station under the Binhai base to serve as the company commander of the field service company there.
In addition to the changes in his position and rank, the old man also ordered him to make a written self-criticism to the organization, apologize to Xu Jianguo's family in person, and move out of the family area within three days.
As the incident escalated, the patrol office of the Binhai base received several anonymous letters of complaint, all of which were directed at Wei Fuhai. Although the contents of the letters have not been verified, it is likely that the promotion path of this former deputy regimental-level cadre has come to an end.
However, after listening to these suggestions for handling the matter, Xu Jianguo did not show any joy on his face. Beating Erya and threatening Wen Sitian would not be let go so easily. When it came to the matter of bullying his family, Xu Jianguo was more petty than anyone else. Did he really think that he could just apologize and be demoted after doing something bad and that would let it go?
After returning to Ma Guoliang's house, Tai Wei planned to go to the cafeteria to get food, but was stopped by Xu Jianguo. He turned to look at Su Dingshan and said, "Grandpa, you've finally come here, you can't always eat in the cafeteria, right? How about I prepare something delicious for you tonight?"
"Haha, okay, what do you want to do for me?" Su Dingshan took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.
"How about mutton hotpot in this cold weather? You must eat it often in Jingzhou. You haven't had it for several days. Do you want it?" Xu Jianguo asked.
When Su Dingshan heard about hot pot mutton, his eyes widened immediately. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, but where can you get mutton?"
"Look at what you said. Mutton is a small matter. As long as you want to eat it, I will prepare it for you right away!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll listen to you! We'll have mutton hotpot tonight!" Su Dingshan said, smacking his lips.
After Xu Jianguo agreed, he left Ma Guoliang's house, and then took advantage of the fact that there was no one around to enter the space.
After staying in the space for more than half an hour, he walked in from outside carrying a lot of bags.
A leg of lamb, a piece of lamb belly, two heads of cabbage, a bottle of chives, a bottle of sesame paste, two copper pots, and a large bag of lightning-struck charcoal.
When Tai Wei and the other two in the duty room saw Xu Jianguo coming back with a lot of things, they hurried out to help. The four of them moved the things into Ma Guoliang's kitchen together.
In order to avoid the irritation of hot pot to Su Dingshan's stomach, he specially used space well water when preparing the soup base, and also put some mushrooms and a few hundred-year-old wild ginseng roots in it.
A lamb leg and a piece of lamb belly, a total of more than 20 kilograms of meat were cut out. In the end, there were not enough plates at home, so Tai Wei went to the cafeteria to borrow a few large lunch boxes.
Xu Jianguo brought the copper pot specially prepared for Su Dingshan to the table, and then asked Tai Wei to take the bottom of the pot without ginseng whiskers to the duty room, and then began to pour sesame paste.
After all the preparations were done, Su Dingshan and Ma Guoliang were already staring at the kitchen with chopsticks in hand, staring eagerly.
"Hurry up, hurry up, you little brat, you're making me, an old man, so jealous!" Su Dingshan said with a smile.
"Come here, old man, you put the wine cup out early. Did you secretly drink it while I was busy?" Xu Jianguo said.
"Go away, am I that kind of person? Besides, no matter how good the wine is, it won't taste good without the hot pot mutton!" Su Dingshan said unhappily.
"Okay, but it's still three cups tonight. I have to continue treating you after dinner!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and get started!" Su Dingshan said.
An hour later, the three of them put down their chopsticks. Xu Jianguo looked at the empty plates and lunch boxes on the table, and he once again had a deeper understanding of the soldiers' appetite.
