Seeing Xiao Hei's reaction, the couple realized that someone was coming.
Xu Jianguo stood up and walked to the window, looking into the yard, and found that it was Aunt Lin Wan and Aunt Sun Xiuqin who had come early.
"Wife, Aunt Lin and Aunt Sun are here!" Xu Jianguo turned and said to Wen Sitian.
"Ah? The aunties are here!" Wen Sitian got up quickly and walked outside in her cotton slippers. Xu Jianguo followed her and went out to greet them.
Pushing open the door of the main hall, Wen Sitian smiled and called out, "Auntie Lin, Auntie Sun!"
"Hey, Xiaowen, Jianguo!" The two men said with a smile, holding some things in their hands.
"I was just talking to Jianguo about this, and I didn't expect you two to come over right after I finished. Come inside quickly, it's cold outside!"
"good!"
After the four people entered the house, Wen Sitian helped the two aunts shake off the snow on their bodies, and then went into the inner room.
At this time, the children who heard the noise had also gotten up. Seeing the two aunts coming, they started calling for help, which made Lin Wan and Sun Xiuqin very happy.
Since moving from Binhai to Dawali, the two aunts have only seen their children a few times.
Especially Lin Wan, her daughter and son's infertility problems were cured by Xu Jianguo, but she never expected that the base would be replaced not long after her grandson and granddaughter were born.
This also led to them both being particularly fond of children, and these children of Xu Jianguo were all raised by them, so they were particularly close to each other. To a certain extent, this alleviated the two's longing for their own children.
"Jianguo, here, this is what your commander and deputy commander asked me to bring!" The two men put the bags in their hands on the table, and Lin Wan said with a smile.
"Oh, what a hassle! I told them everything is ready, so what else do they need to bring?" Xu Jianguo said with some complaint.
"Then we won't care. Our mission is complete. You clean up the mess and we'll cook!"
"No need, I'll take care of the cooking, you just need to make the dumplings!"
"Really? Are your craftsmanship any good?"
"It must work. You guys can just wait and see tonight!"
“Hahaha, okay!”
As they were talking, two old men walked in from outside.
"Grandpa, great-grandfather..." Several people in the room shouted.
Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong responded with smiles on their faces, and the joy in their hearts was written all over their faces.
After everyone sat down on the kang, Xu Jianguo went to the main room, found the teapot and teacups and started to make tea.
In this way, several families drank tea and chatted, and before they knew it, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.
Xu Jianguo looked at the time and thought that Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang should be back soon, so he said something to a few people and went to the main room to start working.
Since all the ingredients had been cleaned up by Du Yu and Xu Xiaoshi, even the dumpling fillings and dough had been mixed, so Xu Jianguo only needed to start cooking.
He added some firewood to the stove and some water to the pot, ready to blanch the tofu and vegetables in it after the water boiled.
While the water was still boiling, Xu Jianguo brought the enamel basin filled with noodles and dumpling filling into the house, and then moved in the working surface, lid and rolling pin.
When the three women in the room saw this, they hurriedly got up from the bed and came to the table, rolled up their sleeves and prepared to start working.
At this time, the two old men, Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong, took on the responsibility of looking after the children. Everyone in the room had a clear division of labor and smiles on their faces, making the atmosphere at home joyful.
Xu Jianguo had just blanched the tofu and vegetables when Xiaohei and Erhei ran out from the inner room and squatted at the door of the main room.
After a while, the door of the main room was opened from the outside, and Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang walked in, both of them covered in cold air.
"Commander, Deputy Commander!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile while busying himself.
"Wow, you're really good, cooking for yourself today?"
"Of course I will let you taste my cooking skills later!"
"Okay, then we'll both wait and eat!"
"No problem, come inside and warm up. There's hot tea on the kang table. You two can chat with the old men for a while. I'll be here quickly!"
"It's settled!"
After the two finished talking, they were about to go into the house, but Xu Jianguo asked again, "By the way, Commander, where are Brother Tai and Brother Guo?"
"Today is New Year's Eve, and there's nothing to worry about. We'll let them go back home to celebrate the New Year. Besides, with you here, what could go wrong?"
"Hey, that's right!"
In the next hour or so, Xu Jianguo used all his skills to bring his cooking skills to the best of his ability.
When he put the twice-cooked pork in the pot into a plate and was about to bring it in, he suddenly found that the five little guys had run behind him at some point. Now they were sitting there obediently with a small stool in each of their hands. Their ten big eyes were staring at the twice-cooked pork in his hand without blinking, and they kept swallowing their saliva.
Seeing this scene, Xu Jianguo couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He squatted down and asked quietly, "Are you hungry?"
The five little chickens nodded like they were pecking at rice, filling the whole scene with a sense of humor. Xu Jianguo smiled and shook his head, turned around and took a pair of chopsticks from the stove, then squatted down again, looking back at the west room like a thief, and then whispered, "Long beak!"
“Ah~”
I don't know if you have ever seen the scene of a mother bird feeding her baby birds. It is exactly the same as the scene at this moment. Xu Jianguo picked up pieces of greasy twice-cooked pork with chopsticks and stuffed them into the mouths of the five little birds one by one.
Originally, he was worried that Lele couldn't handle spicy food, so he planned to rinse the meat with hot water. However, when the little girl saw her brothers and aunts eating the meat, she suddenly became very anxious. She kept saying that she was not afraid of spicy food, and then she ate the meat in one gulp.
As a result, after more than ten seconds, the girl began to use her chubby little hands to fan air into her mouth, and her two little cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo quickly took out a box of soft-packaged Wangzai milk from the space, inserted a straw, and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.
As the rich aroma of milk entered her mouth, the hot feeling finally dissipated. After the little girl finished drinking the milk, she realized that everyone was staring at her intently, and she immediately started to giggle.
