"Hahaha, seeing how capable you are, I brought it to you a long time ago. It's in the car. I'll drink with you in the evening!" Su Dingshan said.
"Hehe, you old guy still understand me!" Wu Tianlong said with a smile.
Xu Jianguo stood aside, watching the two old men bickering. With a smile on his face, he interrupted and said, "Actually, for rheumatism patients of your age, drinking a moderate amount of alcohol every day is beneficial. Alcohol can keep out the cold and induce sweating, which helps to eliminate the cold in the body!"
"Look, it's Jianguo, unlike that guy Ge Hongqi who only knows how to look at me!" Wu Tianlong said dissatisfiedly.
After waiting for a while, Xu Jianguo helped Wu Tianlong up from the bed and carried him to the wheelchair.
Su Dingshan originally wanted to stop him, but he didn't expect Wu Tianlong to say nothing this time and still have a smile on his face.
After a moment of silence, a smile appeared on Su Dingshan's face. It seemed that the settlement in his old comrade's mind had been solved by this kid Xu Jianguo.
"Boy, don't you want to continue the treatment?" Su Dingshan asked.
"Grandpa Wu's lumbar nerves have just recovered, and he needs to rest. I will give him a second treatment before he goes to bed tonight!" Xu Jianguo said. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Grandpa, to facilitate treatment, I may need to stay here for the next three days!"
Su Dingshan smiled and nodded, saying, "I have no objection, but I still have to watch over the old man!"
"Go away, I wish this little guy could live with me forever!" Wu Tianlong said unhappily.
"Well, I don't have time, but I should be able to stay here with you tonight, and I'll go back tomorrow morning!" Su Dingshan said.
When Wu Tianlong heard this, he burst into laughter: "Hahaha, good, if you ask me, since we are both old bachelors, you should live here like me, and let the young people worry about those troublesome things!"
"Tsk, it's as easy as that. I want to do it too, but now we have internal and external troubles. How can I rest? I have to work hard for a few more years. I have to give these young people a ride!" Su Dingshan said.
"Hey, let's not talk about these annoying things. Let's go, play two games with me, and then have a drink in the evening!" Wu Tianlong also sighed, but quickly adjusted his state and pulled Su Dingshan to play chess.
Xu Jianguo packed up the gauze bandages and other things, took them out of the room, then went to wash his hands, and then went to the study to help the two old men serve the chess game.
Today's dinner was not a lunch box from the cafeteria, but was cooked by Xu Jianguo himself. In order to prepare this meal, he and He Hongliang drove to several nearby production teams, and finally bought some peanuts and dried fish. Finally, they went to the local commune, and with the coordination of the commune, they found the production team that was slaughtering the New Year pig and bought some pig offal and pig head meat. Because Xu Jianguo was wearing a military uniform, when he was leaving, the production team leader chased him and forced him to give them two more pig trotters.
It was almost six o'clock when the two men returned to the small building with their things. Since the pig offal had been processed, Xu Jianguo and He Hongliang went to the kitchen of the sanatorium without stopping, borrowed their space to prepare a large pot of stew, and also marinated two pig ears. Finally, they fried peanuts and dried fish, and then ran two times to get all the food back to the small building.
A dinner that was not particularly sumptuous was served on the table, including pig ears mixed with green onions, fried peanuts, fried dried fish, and stewed food, along with steamed bread made from two layers of dough.
The pig's head and pig's trotters were not served on the table tonight, mainly because there was not enough time. Xu Jianguo planned to leave them for tomorrow.
"Wow, little guy, your cooking skills are pretty good!" Wu Tianlong couldn't help but have his eyes shining as he looked at the dishes on the table.
"Old buddy, let me tell you, I was thinking of transferring this guy to the kitchen team. The dishes he cooks are really to my taste!" Su Dingshan said with a smile as he sat down at the dining table.
"Well, it looks delicious!" Wu Tianlong nodded.
"Grandpas, please stop praising me, otherwise my tail will be up to the sky. Besides, this is not my credit alone. Brother He followed me around for the whole afternoon!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes, and Xiao He, thank you for your hard work!" Wu Tianlong said.
"Mr. Wu, you're too polite. As long as you and the leader enjoy the meal, I'll be satisfied!" He Hongliang waved his hand and said.
Wu Tianlong smiled and nodded, then looked at Su Dingshan and asked, "Dashanzi, the dishes are all here, where's the wine?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? What else can you do without?" Su Dingshan said unhappily, and then said to He Hongliang, "Xiao He, go get those two bottles of Moutai from the car!"
"Yes!" He Hong agreed, then turned and walked out.
When Xu Jianguo took the white wine handed to him by He Hongliang and unscrewed the bottle cap, a rich aroma of wine spread out.
Wu Tianlong kept sniffing, his eyes fixed on the wine bottle in Xu Jianguo's hand, then he picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "Come on, pour it for me!"
Xu Jianguo smiled and poured him a small glass of white wine, then poured another for Su Dingshan, and then sat down at the table.
He Hongliang did not eat with the three people. Instead, he took the lunch box prepared by Xu Jianguo for him and the guards and went to the side room in the courtyard to eat.
Xu Jianguo did not drink, but just sat at the table and concentrated on being a tool.
After drinking a cup of white wine, Wu Tianlong's whole state seemed to have changed drastically. When he just met the old man in the morning, although he always spoke with a smile on his face, Xu Jianguo could still feel a sense of loneliness and helplessness from his bones, giving people a feeling that there is nothing more sad than a dead heart.
After the treatment in the afternoon, his right leg regained sensation and the shrapnel in his waist was successfully removed. When Xu Jianguo told him that he could stand up again in three days, Wu Tianlong seemed to have rekindled his hope and fighting spirit.
