"That's right, Jianguo, if you need your help in the future, I will never refuse!" Ma Chao also spoke.
"Yes, as long as your brother-in-law can help, just speak up!" Ou Chuliang also spoke.
"Hey, could you three please not be so polite to me? Are you treating me as an outsider? If you continue like this, I'm going home!" Xu Jianguo said.
"You little bastard, you've done such a big thing for me, can't I even say thank you?" Ma Guoliang rolled his eyes at him and said.
"Okay, okay, you can talk, okay. Now that you're done, can you go cook? I'm hungry!" Xu Jianguo said in a funny tone.
The father and his two sons looked at each other and saw a bit of helplessness in each other's eyes. They understood what Xu Jianguo meant. He didn't want them to always feel that they owed him something. However, Xu Jianguo could ignore it, but they couldn't do that. After all, this was a major matter concerning the third generation of the Ma family. How could they forget it easily?
So no matter what Xu Jianguo said, everyone in Ma Guoliang's family now regarded him as their family's great benefactor. Even if they didn't say it, this kindness had been firmly remembered in their hearts.
"Xiao Chao, Chu Liang, tonight's dinner is left to you two, hurry up and cook!" Ma Guoliang looked at Ma Chao and Ou Chu Liang and said.
"Okay, Dad, just watch!" Ma Chao rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile.
Ou Chuliang was not to be outdone and said, "That's right, let's let everyone taste our cooking skills tonight!"
After they finished talking, they walked towards the kitchen to prepare dinner.
After crying for a while, Lin Wan and the other two stopped crying and came to Xu Jianguo, ready to bow and express their gratitude.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jianguo jumped up from the sofa, waved his hands and said, "Auntie, sister-in-law, second sister, this is not allowed!"
Ma Guoliang watched from the side and said, "Old woman, forget it. Jianguo is not someone we meet outsiders. Our family will remember this kindness in our hearts. We will see each other in the future. There are still many days to come!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Jianguo nodded.
"Okay!" Lin Wan nodded without being pretentious. She looked at Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian again. In addition to being closer than before, the look in her eyes also had a mother's look as if she was looking at her own children.
Xu Jianguo asked Gulina and Ma Yue to sit on the sofa, then he felt their pulses. Seeing their somewhat nervous expressions, he smiled and said, "The baby is only a little over a week old now. It probably won't be diagnosed at the hospital right now. Wait a while, wait until your eldest sister-in-law and second sister's periods are over, then go to the hospital and they should be able to find out."
After hearing what Xu Jianguo said, the few people felt relieved, but the two girls blushed a little. After all, they were old enough to feel a little shy when Xu Jianguo, a young man who was not even twenty years old, said it so bluntly.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law and daughter were a little shy, Ma Guoliang said to Xu Jianguo, "Come on, go have some tea with me, and we can discuss the test in a few days!"
Xu Jianguo also knew that Lin Wan and the others would probably talk about some topics between women next, so he nodded and followed Ma Guoliang back to the study.
At six o'clock in the evening, everyone sat around the dining table, on which lay the results of Ma Chao and Ou Chuliang's hard work for more than an hour.
Eight dishes, one soup, plus a large bowl of Yuanxiao.
Xu Jianguo looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but feel admiration. He thought that these two people seemed to be the ones who often cooked at home. In this era, there were not as many men who would take the initiative to cook as in later generations, so this was also an important criterion for judging the quality of men at present.
At Ma Guoliang's invitation, everyone picked up their chopsticks. Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian sat on both sides of the three little ones, Ma Guoliang sat on the other side of him, followed by Ma Chao and Ou Chuliang.
Wen Sitian is surrounded by Lin Wan, Gulina and Ma Yue, and everyone can take care of each other.
"Come on, Jianguo, you didn't drink last time, but today is a good opportunity. I'll toast you a glass!" Ma Guoliang said with a smile, holding up the wine cup in front of him.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo knew that he could not escape today no matter what, so he quickly picked up the wine cup, clinked it with him with half a cup lowered, and then drank it all in one gulp.
In the following time, Ma Guoliang, Ma Chao and Ou Chuliang frequently toasted Xu Jianguo. In a short while, the four of them drank two bottles of white wine.
Just when Ma Guoliang was about to open the third bottle of white wine, he was stopped by his wife, who said that Wen Sitian was pregnant and Xu Jianguo would have to take care of her after he returned, so drinking too much was not good.
Ma Guoliang thought it was right and followed his wife's advice. Xu Jianguo felt a little relieved when he saw this. It was too much psychological pressure to drink with a soldier who had fought for most of his life.
Two hours later, everyone left the table after having eaten and drunk their fill, but Xiao Hei, who had come along for the meal, was still eating heartily. There was nothing he could do because there were just too many bones left on the table.
After drinking tea with Ma Guoliang in the study for a while, Xu Jianguo looked at the time at his watch, then said goodbye. He took Wen Sitian, the three girls and Xiao Hei, left Ma Guoliang's house and walked towards his own home.
On the way, Wen Sitian held Xu Jianguo's hand and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Xu Jianguo turned to look at Wen Sitian, smiled and shook his head and said, "It's okay, you must be tired. I saw you yawning just now."
