At this time, Xiao Hei, a first-class sword-bearing guard, sometimes went in front and sometimes went around behind, fulfilling his duty to protect his family with all his heart.
After walking for a while, Lele, who was not even three years old, felt a little tired. Originally, if she had just asked, her mother, brother and three aunts would have rushed to hold her. However, she did not do so. Instead, she stared with her big eyes at Xiao Hei who was patrolling not far ahead.
The sudden feeling of being watched made Xiao Hei feel nervous. He quickly stopped and looked back, and immediately met the bright eyes of his little master.
A few minutes later...
On the way home, the little girl's cheerful laughter could be heard again.
On a snow-covered ground, a little girl who looked like a porcelain doll was sitting astride the back of a big black dog that was nearly 1.5 meters long. The man and the dog were walking slowly towards the family area.
And the little girl would occasionally shout in a baby voice, as if she was riding a horse: "Gee!"
Behind them, Wen Sitian led Wenwen and three girls and followed not far away, looking at Xiaohei and Lele not far ahead with a smile on their faces.
"Mom, Uncle Xiaohei is partial to me! He won't even let me ride it even though I want to!" Wenwen said with a pout as he looked at his sister's smug look.
At this moment, Funiu, who was standing next to Wenwen, rolled her eyes at him and said, "How can you be so heartless? Have you forgotten how you've been riding Xiao Hei since you were a kid?"
"I..." Wenwen was a little depressed and stopped talking. Suddenly, he thought to himself for no reason, "Why do people have to grow up?"
"That's right. Your aunt didn't have this treatment since she was a child. She grew up with Xiao Hei. When she wanted to ride, Xiao Hei couldn't carry her." Wen Sitian said.
"Oh, sister-in-law! How could Xiao Hei not be able to carry me!" Funiu stomped her feet and said. After that, she looked at Wen Sitian, and then looked at Daya and Erya who were trying to hold back their laughter. She immediately realized that it was her sister-in-law who was teasing her.
"Pfft...Hahaha!" Seeing Funiu's deflated look, the three of them except Wenwen all laughed happily.
More than twenty minutes later, the family returned home. Du Yu had already prepared lunch.
After the three girls took Wenwen and Lele to wash their hands, the family came to the dining table and started eating lunch.
After dinner, Wen Sitian said to Du Yu, "Send a message to Jianguo, saying that the children's leave has been requested and now they are waiting for the commander's letter of introduction!"
"Okay, ma'am!" Du Yu, who was cleaning the table, agreed.
"By the way, there's one more thing..." Wen Sitian thought about it and decided to tell Xu Jianguo what happened in school today.
According to Wen Sitian's idea, she was just a military dependent after all, and she had no say in military affairs. So on the way back, she did not take the children directly to find the commander, because she thought that doing so would be a bit against the rules, and she was worried that it would cause trouble for her man.
…
On the central street of Bingcheng, Xu Jianguo was having lunch in a state-owned restaurant called Songbin Hotel. He had originally planned to go back to the space and ask Xu Xiaoshi to make something for him.
However, just now when he was walking on the road, he heard people talking about dishes such as cherry meat, sweet and sour pork and stir-fried pork slices, so he gave up the idea of going back to the space to eat, and then followed those people to this restaurant.
Since it was lunch time, there were many people eating in the restaurant, but perhaps because of the storm, the restaurant did not seem noisy. All the diners were communicating in a low voice, for fear that they would say something wrong and be heard by others, which would cause trouble for themselves and their families.
Xu Jianguo came to the counter and ordered sweet and sour pork and stir-fried pork slices, as well as three-strand soup and rice. After paying the bill and the ticket under the waiter's somewhat strange look, he walked to an empty table by the window and sat down.
In fact, it is no wonder that the waiter looked at him strangely. You have to know that the state-owned restaurants in the 1960s used affordability as their main selling point. Although the service attitude may not be comparable to that of later generations, when it comes to taste and portion size, they are no worse than those of later generations.
Therefore, when the waiter saw that Xu Jianguo ordered two dishes and a soup by himself, although he was very envious, he also secretly complained that this young man in military uniform was a prodigal son who didn't know where he came from. He was so ostentatious and was not afraid of bringing trouble to his family.
Xu Jianguo didn't care about the look the waiter gave him, because even if it was just two dishes and a soup, as long as he could secretly practice the Taiqing Jue while eating and circulate the spiritual power in his dantian around his body, he would be able to finish it all even if he got another serving of the same amount of food.
The midday sun shone on his face, making Xu Jianguo feel warm and comfortable. Looking at the bustling crowd outside the window, his heart was unusually peaceful.
In his previous life, he did not have the opportunity to stop and take a good look at the world at the beginning of his struggle. It seemed that all the time flew by in the blink of an eye. When he really had the strength to stop and take a look, he found that the scenery outside the window had changed a lot.
It was also at that time that Xu Jianguo discovered for the first time that the lyrics were really right.
"The days of the past have become slower, transportation and mail have become slower, and a lifetime is only enough to love one person..."
And in the words of a fat black man in a crosstalk theater in Jingzhou in later generations, when he was traveling to Hong Kong Island and Japan East, he would get carsick just by standing on the main road.
Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it also indirectly reflects that the pace of life of people in later generations is indeed very tense.
Just when Xu Jianguo was lamenting about his life, a system prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind. When he opened the system panel to check, he found that it was Du Yu who sent him a message. He guessed that it was his wife who had something to tell him, so he quickly clicked to check.
But when he finished reading the content of the message, his face suddenly became a little gloomy, which made the waiter who came over with sweet and sour pork and rice a little puzzled. He thought to himself, I'm just serving a dish, I'm not arguing with you!
When the food was placed on the table, Xu Jianguo looked up at the waitress and found that she was looking at him a little stiffly. Then he reacted, smiled at her and said, "I'm sorry, comrade. I thought of some bad things and scared you!"
"Ah? It's okay, it's okay. Come and eat it. Sweet and sour pork tastes best when it's hot!" The waiter said this and turned and left.
Xu Jianguo nodded and decided to hurry up and have lunch. After lunch, he would go to the post office to call the commander and tell him about this matter.
