Xu Jianguo stayed at the Red Star Machinery Factory for more than an hour. During that time, the two seemed to have endless things to talk about. Gao Wangshan asked about his and his family's health, whether they had eaten well and slept well.
Xu Jianguo selected some of the information he knew and told it to Gao Wangshan, which might be helpful to his future work.
Before leaving, Xu Jianguo told him not to give away the things in his pocket, as they were all for his aunt, and promised him that he would call him after his family settled down in Jingzhou.
Gao Wangshan sent Xu Jianguo all the way to the factory gate. Looking at his back as he left, his eyes were a little red.
Only when he could no longer see the figure did he raise his sleeve to wipe the wet corners of his eyes, then turned and left.
It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. After leaving the Red Star Machinery Factory, Xu Jianguo returned to Wen Sitian's yard and then entered the space.
Before leaving, he asked Fu Bo to go to the ranch to find a newly weaned bull calf and prepare to give it to Li Dashan when he returned.
After returning to the space, Xu Jianguo did not go to the third courtyard, but walked directly to the outside of the quadrangle and informed Fu Bo.
After waiting for a while, Fu Bo came up from the foot of the mountain with a calf.
Thanks to the nourishment of the space well water and the high-quality grassland in the space pasture, the calf in front of him gave Xu Jianguo the feeling that it was extremely strong.
Moreover, because the space well water contains spiritual energy, the calf's IQ has been greatly improved over time, and it can understand some basic commands.
So after Li Dashan took over the calf, Xu Jianguo didn't need to worry too much about it being difficult to tame.
But just in case, after Xu Jianguo took the rope handed to him by Fu Bo, he still activated his talent skill of being proficient in animal language. He whispered in the calf's ear for a while, and the calf stopped talking until he doubted his life.
After giving the calf ideological education, Xu Jianguo handed it over to Fu Bo, and he himself appeared in a small forest not far from the entrance of Sandaliang Village through the time and space portal.
After observing the surroundings and making sure that there was no one around, he used his mind to get the calf out. Then the man and the calf staggered out of the grove and headed towards the village.
Sandaliang Village is still very lively in summer. Villagers with nothing to do always like to sit under the big trees in the threshing ground to enjoy the cool and chat.
So when Xu Jianguo appeared in everyone's sight with the calf, there was immediately a burst of exclamations.
"Second sister-in-law, do you think that man is Jianguo?"
"Who? Jianguo? The kid from Old Xu's family at the east end of the village?"
"yes!"
"Don't say it, it seems like it really is the founding of the country!"
"Oh my god, didn't he join the army? Why is he back? Is he discharged?"
"I told you to read more books and newspapers, but have you ever seen a soldier still wearing his collar badge after being discharged from the army?"
"Get lost! I want to read books and newspapers, but I have to learn to read, right?"
“…”
A group of people were talking at once, and some villagers who were close to Xu Jianguo had already stood up and greeted him with a smile.
Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, Xu Jianguo couldn't help but grin and smile at them.
"Jianguo, when did you come back?"
"Are you going to leave again this time?"
"I heard from the captain that you're married and have a child? Did you bring him back this time?"
"Wow, this little calf is really strong. It must be expensive, right?"
"You made this for your Grandpa Dashan, right? He'll be very happy this time!"
Faced with all kinds of questions, Xu Jianguo did not answer them perfunctorily, but stopped and answered them patiently.
He even took out two unopened boxes of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to everyone.
When some villagers who had seen the world saw that Xu Jianguo gave them Zhonghua cigarettes, they immediately showed joy on their faces.
However, most people who knew the price of these cigarettes did not light them up immediately. Instead, they carefully put the cigarettes behind their ears and still held up their pipes, preparing to save these Zhonghua cigarettes for the New Year.
Xu Jianguo didn't care and simply put the remaining cigarettes on the stone platform under the big tree. Then he said hello to everyone and left with the calf.
When passing by the brigade headquarters, two people came out from behind the house and happened to meet him face to face. Xu Jianguo looked closely and found that the two people were actually the brothers Li Jinlong and Li Jinhu.
I remember these two brothers. One of them colluded with people from other villages to steal grain from his own production team and was sentenced to five years in prison.
The other one fabricated rumors and reported Xu Jianguo in order to take revenge, but was found out and almost kicked out of Sandaliang along with his entire family.
Xu Jianguo never expected to meet these two people here, but considering the time, Li Jinlong should have been released from prison.
Just as Xu Jianguo was looking at the two of them, Li Jinlong and Li Jinhu also saw Xu Jianguo, but none of the three spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
After a moment of surprise, Xu Jianguo came to his senses and continued walking forward leading the cow.
Just as Xu Jianguo passed the two people and took a few steps forward, Li Jinlong's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Xu Jianguo!"
Xu Jianguo stopped, turned around and looked at Li Jinlong, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"Well, well, I want to apologize to you. I was wrong back then, and I shouldn't have colluded with outsiders to steal our team's food. I'm sorry!" Li Jinlong said, his face flushed.
After Li Jinlong finished speaking, Li Jinhu, who was standing next to him, also spoke up: "Xu Jianguo, I shouldn't have spread rumors and deliberately slandered you. I'm sorry, please forgive me!"
After listening to what the two brothers said, Xu Jianguo stood there without moving or answering, but just looked at them.
The two looked embarrassed, not knowing whether to leave or stay. Just as they were about to turn around and leave, Xu Jianguo grinned and said, "I accept your apology. It's been so long, let's put this matter behind us!"
When the two brothers heard this, their faces immediately lit up. Seeing that Xu Jianguo's smile did not seem fake, the uneasiness in their hearts disappeared.
The two looked at each other and nodded vigorously at Xu Jianguo.
Xu Jianguo smiled slightly, waved to them, then turned around and left with the cow.
