Since there was a family dinner tonight, Tai Wei and Guo Bin were given a rare day off and went back to rest early.
Because of their status as guards, they did not live in the barracks like other soldiers, but were arranged in a small courtyard not far from Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang's homes. Whenever there was anything, they could just shout and they would be heard.
Lin Wan and Sun Xiuqin were very close to Xu Jianguo's family because their own children were not around. When they saw several people greeting them, they immediately responded with smiles on their faces.
But when they saw Daya and the other two and the jar of wine in Wenwen's arms, the smiles on their faces froze. Then they glared at Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang fiercely, pulled Wen Sitian and the children into the house, and left the three old men outside.
This sudden scene made the first and second in command of the base touch their noses in embarrassment, but Xu Jianguo, who was standing nearby, took advantage of the situation and grinned.
"What are you laughing at, kid?" Ma Guoliang said unhappily.
"You're so bureaucratic, aren't you? It's so funny, but you don't let people laugh?" Xu Jianguo said with a smug look on his face.
“Bang!”
Dong Jixiang, who was standing by, patted Xu Jianguo on the head gently and scolded him with a smile, "Did you ever hear a word, you little brat? You're making fun of people who are inferior to you! Do you believe that we'll say bad things about you in front of your wife later?"
The arrogant smile on Xu Jianguo's face froze. He thought that these two old guys were very bad. He was really afraid that they would talk nonsense in front of Wen Sitian. It would be a big loss if his wife didn't let him go to bed that night.
Seeing Xu Jianguo give in, the two old men immediately showed a smug look on their faces.
The three of them opened the door and walked in, and found Lin Wan and Sun Xiuqin holding Wen Sitian's hands and talking about something. Looking at their slightly red eyes, the two old men Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing the three old men coming into the house, Lin Wan and Sun Xiuqin glared at them again, and then the three women went to the kitchen and started preparing dinner.
After putting down the jar of wine, Xu Jianguo was dragged by the two men to another room to drink tea and smoke.
Because they had already told their family that Xu Jianguo would be coming for dinner in the evening, Lin Wan and Sun Xiuqin prepared some elaborate dishes in advance.
So Xu Jianguo and the other two waited for less than an hour before they heard the voices of three women calling them to eat from the outer room.
Looking at the dishes on the table, all of which were his family's favorites, Xu Jianguo felt warm in his heart.
After two reincarnations, Xu Jianguo's experience of parental love was extremely brief, so from a certain perspective, both Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang's families gave him different feelings.
Gathering his thoughts, Xu Jianguo walked to the side and opened the lid of a jar of medicinal wine. The room was immediately filled with a strong aroma of wine. Everyone couldn't help but sniff, even the five little guys were no exception.
Considering that medicinal wine is good for the body, Xu Jianguo poured a glass for everyone except the five little ones. After pouring the wine, he dipped some with chopsticks and put it on Lele's little tongue which had been impatient for a long time.
Seeing her cute appearance of smacking her lips and fanning herself with her hands, everyone laughed at the same time.
As Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang started eating, dinner officially began.
Under the couple's guidance, the five little ones are very well-mannered when eating and are the kind of children who are not annoying.
Lin Wan and Sun Xiuqin kept serving food to them, and their faces were full of smiles as they watched the five people wolfing down the food.
Everyone ate and chatted, mostly talking about things in the past.
Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian mostly just sat there as listeners, listening quietly.
Xu Jianguo would only occasionally interject when talking about Binhai and Dawali bases.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the meal lasted more than three hours, and in the blink of an eye it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Because the medicinal wine had a strong aftereffect, Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang were already a little drunk at this time.
Under the influence of alcohol, the two men told Xu Jianguo a lot of their inner thoughts. To sum it up, it can be summed up in two words: reluctance.
However, they all knew that with Xu Jianguo's current achievements, it was unrealistic for him to continue staying in the 523 Institute. What's more, they were all soldiers and it was their duty to obey orders.
As long as the country issues a transfer order, no matter how many reasons you have, you have to leave.
With the constant feeding from Lin Wan and Sun Xiuqin, the five little ones had their bellies full and left the table first to run to the next room to play.
After the children left, the two aunts could no longer control their tears after holding back all night. One of them held Wen Sitian's hand, and the three women sobbed quietly.
As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. No matter how good a story is, it will eventually come to an end and everyone will go their separate ways. The story of Xu Jianguo and his family at the Dawali base basically ends here.
However, their relationship with Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang's families will not end because of separation, it will just be a little further away.
As time goes by, they will meet again eventually. Besides, with Xu Jianguo's ability, this is not a difficult thing.
After the couple helped clean up the dishes, the four of them escorted Xu Jianguo and his family out of the yard. They watched the jeep disappear into the night before turning around and leaving.
Because the bedding in the house had been put away, the family entered the space together after returning to their yard.
After washing up, the five little ones returned to their bedrooms, and Lele still stayed with her three aunts.
Wen Sitian snuggled in Xu Jianguo's arms, and the couple whispered to each other, looking forward to their new life in Jingzhou in the near future.
"Jianguo, what do you think about me becoming a teacher after we get to Jingzhou?" Wen Sitian suddenly said.
Xu Jianguo was stunned and asked with a smile, "Why do you suddenly want to be a teacher?"
"I don't know either. I just suddenly wanted to give it a try. After all, I've read a lot of books in the past few years. If I can pass on this knowledge, wouldn't it be meaningful?"
"Wife, to be honest, I don't really want you to be a teacher!"
