Following closely behind were Erya and Wenwen. As for Daya, she always let her sister, nephew and niece take first, but from her eyes, it can be seen that she is also very interested in the ice cream.
Since Xu Jianguo was holding Lele at the time, when the ice cream appeared, the little girl had the upper hand.
Her beautiful big eyes were shining, and she stretched out her little hand to touch the ice cream. But just when she was about to get the ice cream, she suddenly felt her whole body flying backwards.
When she came to her senses, she found herself in her mother's arms, and her rosy little face suddenly fell.
Finally, under the little girl's fierce attack of coquettishness, Wen Sitian was defeated and reluctantly agreed to her request to eat ice cream.
Just for the sake of her fragile stomach, Xu Jianguo replaced the ice cream with a mini version of the Cutie cone. Even so, the little girl was still smiling, sitting on the kang and licking it slowly with her tongue, which was very cute.
In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the next day.
Xu Jianguo, Wen Sitian and Du Yu arrived at the three girls' school on time.
As agreed, Wen Sitian went to the middle school to attend a parent-teacher meeting for Daya, Xu Jianguo went to Erya's class in elementary school, and Du Yu went to Funniu's class.
The parent-teacher meetings for Erya and Funniu were no different from the previous ones, because they would be promoted to junior high school next summer, and their academic performance was among the best in the entire grade, so Xu Jianguo and Du Yu both received praise from their teachers and envious looks from countless parents.
The situation at Daya is a little more complicated because of the special circumstances and the fact that there is no corresponding high school for children of the children at the Dawali base. Therefore, the teacher conveyed the situation to all parents, as a reminder to everyone that if they want to continue their studies, they should start thinking of ways now.
Since Xu Jianguo had discussed this issue with Daya before, Daya's emotions were not affected. Ever since Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian saved her and Erya, the two girls have always maintained an attitude of absolute trust towards their brother and sister-in-law who have no blood relationship with them, and they wholeheartedly approve of all the decisions they made for themselves and their sister, because they always believe that everything their brother and sister-in-law do is for their own good.
After the parent-teacher meeting, Xu Jianguo drove a few people to the middle school, picked up Wen Sitian and Daya, and drove towards home.
Because they knew there would be a parent-teacher meeting, the task of picking up Wenwen from school today fell on Fu Bo, while Xu Xiaoshi stayed at home to look after Lele.
As the three girls and Wenwen began their vacation, there were only two days left until New Year's Eve in 1968, and the five little ones in the family completely let themselves go. Apart from reading and doing homework every day, they spent the rest of their time either catching sparrows in the yard or running out to play with other children.
Although the Davari base was still cold, with the average temperature remaining at around minus 30 degrees Celsius even during the day, the five children did not feel cold at all. Xu Jianguo guessed that this might have a lot to do with the genetic enhancement drugs they had taken.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Xu Jianguo distributed many of the New Year's goods he had prepared in advance. Some were for Wu Dajiang and Zhou Huainan who were in the labor camp, some were for the old Taoist priest Xuanjue, and he even prepared some for Zhou Huainan's family and asked Fu Bo to deliver them.
In addition, he also took the time to go to the post office and mail some mountain products to Li Mancang, Li Erniu and Li Dashan who were far away in his hometown Sandaliang Village.
Five or six years have passed since he last went back to visit his relatives. During this period, he had spoken to Li Mancang on the phone and wrote to him. He learned that Li Dashan was in good health, Li Erniu and Wang Yan had their own children, and the situation in the entire Sandaliang Village was also good. Except for a few educated youth who were assigned to the village last year, nothing major had happened.
Speaking of the educated youth, Li Mancang once told Xu Jianguo in a letter that there were no vacant houses in the village when the educated youth came, so the commune officials who sent the educated youth set their sights on Xu Jianguo's old house.
When Li Mancang heard this, he became anxious and refused to let the educated youth live in Xu Jianguo's house no matter what. This was because this official had a relative who was a leader in the county, and he had just arrived in Hongqi Commune not long ago and had no idea about Xu Jianguo's situation.
Seeing that the captain of Sandaliang refused to agree, the officer's face turned cold. He threw the educated youth into the brigade headquarters and turned away.
After he returned to the commune, he went straight to the secretary Zhang Aimin and told him about his experience in Sandaliang Village with exaggeration.
I thought Secretary Zhang would be furious after hearing this, but unexpectedly, Zhang Aimin scolded him harshly, and after that he immediately ordered him to go back and apologize to Li Mancang, and asked him to go to Xu Jianguo's house in person to take a good look.
This clerk was inexplicably scolded by Zhang Aimin and was very unhappy. He wanted to quit his job and go back to the county to ask his relatives for justice. But after thinking about it, he still felt that he should go back to Sandaliang Village first to find out the situation, and then go to the county to complain to his relatives. So he returned to Sandaliang Village without stopping.
After entering the village, he did not go to Li Mancang to apologize, but went straight to Xu Jianguo's old house.
However, when he arrived at Xu Jianguo's home, he saw the plaque hanging on the door of his house with the words "Home of First-Class Meritorious Service" inscribed on it. He was stunned and shivered all over. Before he knew it, his back was wet with cold sweat. He thought to himself that he almost got into big trouble.
Thinking of this, the officer turned around and ran towards the brigade headquarters. After entering, ignoring the strange looks of several educated youth and other people, he went straight to Li Mancang and bowed ninety degrees, followed by apologizing continuously.
Seeing him like this, Li Mancang immediately understood what was going on, but he was not a petty person, and nothing happened, so he forgave him.
When Xu Jianguo learned about this matter from the letter, he did not take it seriously. He just thought in his heart that it seemed that he was right to hang the plaque on the door before leaving. Although it was just a small plaque, it could ward off many monsters.
While there was still time, Xu Jianguo called Ma Guoliang, asked him for some leave, and drove to the labor camp to deliver a lot of things to Wu Dajiang and Zhou Huainan.
In addition, he also brought two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes and two bottles of ordinary Yanghe Daqu to the farm's team leader Li Jianbin, as a thank you for his daily care for Wu Dajiang and Zhou Huainan.
