The house was brightly lit at this time. Ma Guoliang estimated the time and asked someone to light the kang and stove in advance. The house was already warm and not cold at all.
After entering October, the temperature in the Dawali area has been getting lower day by day, especially at night, when the outdoor temperature can be close to zero degrees.
Before Su Dingshan got into trouble, Ma Guoliang had talked to the two elders and asked them whether they planned to live together in the future or live separately.
As expected, both of them chose to live together. After all, they had been comrades-in-arms for decades and had taken bullets for each other. Although they were not related by blood, they had long been as close as brothers.
Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang led the two elders into the yard, and Xu Jianguo followed behind carrying their luggage.
The decoration and furniture in the house naturally cannot be compared with Su Dingshan’s home in the red-walled courtyard in Jingzhou. This is just an ordinary Northeastern house.
The first floor is the main room, which has a stove, water tank and other daily necessities. There are bedrooms on the east and west sides. The overall structure is exactly the same as Xu Jianguo's.
Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong looked at the facilities in the house. For some reason, they felt a long-lost sense of security in their hearts, and became more and more satisfied with the arrangements made for them by Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang.
The only inconvenience is the problem of going to the toilet.
However, although the two elders are old, they have all experienced hard times and there is nothing they cannot adapt to.
Xu Jianguo placed their belongings on the kang and asked, "Grandpa Su, Grandpa Wu, are you two hungry?"
The two old men looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads and said, "I'm not hungry!"
Xu Jianguo nodded, did not continue speaking, and sat quietly aside, intending to watch the few people talk.
Unexpectedly, Su Dingshan continued to speak: "No, I was wondering, what are you doing sitting here?"
"Ah?" Xu Jianguo didn't quite understand what he meant.
"Silly boy, we're already home, what are you still worried about? Why don't you go home quickly to see your wife and children?" Su Dingshan said unhappily.
"That's right, go back quickly and we can talk tomorrow!" Wu Tianlong also spoke.
In fact, Xu Jianguo had wanted to go home for a long time. He had just asked the two if they were hungry, just to use it as an excuse to go back home and check on them. However, he didn't expect the two old men to be so rude and actually said they were not hungry, which made him very depressed.
At this moment, when he heard the two old men chasing him home, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
However, he did not leave immediately, but turned to look at Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang who were standing beside him.
"Why are you looking at us? Go back quickly! I'll give you a day off tomorrow, so rest well at home. In the evening, bring Xiaowen and the children over, and we'll have dinner together. It's considered as a warm welcome for the old leader and instructor." Ma Guoliang said with a smile.
"Hehe, okay, then I'll go back first!" Xu Jianguo agreed with a smile.
"Go, go!" several people said, looking at Xu Jianguo with smiles in their eyes.
After leaving the elders' home, Xu Jianguo drove directly back to his own yard and parked the jeep against the wall, lining it up with the car he had originally parked there.
Then he jumped out of the car, walked to the gate of the yard, reached out and pushed it, but found that the gate had been locked from the inside.
Just when Xu Jianguo had parked the car, Xiaohei and Erhei in the house heard the sound, and they pushed open the door of the main room and rushed out.
When Xu Jianguo jumped down from the wall, the two black guys had already squatted there obediently, quietly waiting for their master.
Seeing Xu Jianguo coming back, Xiaohei and Erhei immediately ran over, shaking their heads and swinging their big tails.
The other one climbed up his trouser leg and lay in his arms.
Xu Jianguo reached out and patted Xiao Hei's shiny black head, then gently stroked Er Hei in his arms, feeling extremely at ease and peaceful in his heart.
At this moment, the light in the east room, which was originally pitch black, came on. With the sound of a door opening, Wen Sitian walked out of the room wearing clothes.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo immediately put Erhei in his arms to the ground, and then walked over quickly amid its very dissatisfied meows.
When their eyes met, a look of longing appeared in both of them, but in the end, all the thousands of words were reduced to just one sentence.
"Are you back?"
"I'm back!"
The two of them said this in unison, but after they finished speaking, they were both slightly stunned, and then a knowing smile appeared on their faces.
At this time, Xu Jianguo could no longer bear the longing for her. He hugged Wen Sitian in his arms and kissed her hard on the face.
The beard that had not been shaved for several days made Wen Sitian's face itchy, but it was this familiar feeling that made her miss it the most.
After Xu Jianguo finished kissing his wife, he looked carefully at his beautiful wife in his arms with a silly smile on his face.
Even after being married for many years, Wen Sitian still looked shy. She gave her man a cold look and slapped him in the arms, which made Xu Jianguo laugh foolishly.
What the couple didn't know was that while they were standing at the door of the main room, the curtains of the west room were secretly opened a little. At this time, four little guys were hiding there, secretly looking out, and occasionally covering their mouths and laughing.
When Xu Jianguo kissed Wen Sitian on the cheek, the four of them covered their eyes with their hands. However, even though they covered their eyes, the gaps between their fingers were too wide and did not provide any shielding effect.
These four little ones are naturally Daya, Erya, Funniu and Wenwen. As for Lele, he is still sleeping soundly on the kang.
After the couple cuddled together for a while, they opened the door to the main room and walked in, with Xiaohei and Erhei following behind them.
After returning to the house, Wen Sitian took off her shoes and got on the kang, knelt on the kang and opened the kang cabinet.
Xu Jianguo sat on the edge of the kang, looking at his busy daughter-in-law, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly, and his understanding of home seemed to become more profound.
A moment later, Wen Sitian prepared Xu Jianguo's change of clothes, stuffed them into his arms, and urged him to take a shower.
Xu Jianguo looked down at the clothes in his arms, then looked at Wen Sitian, and said with a sly smile, "Wife, why don't we wash together? You can even rub my back for me!"
When Wen Sitian heard this, her pretty face suddenly turned red, but she did not refuse Xu Jianguo. Instead, she nodded gently and uttered an inaudible "hmm".
Xu Jianguo was overjoyed when he saw this, and he picked her up and slipped into the space.
