In the blink of an eye, it was already half past five in the afternoon.
At this time, Wen Sitian and the children had finished their lunch break and were sitting in the living room waiting for the two old men to arrive.
Du Yu and Xu Xiaoshi had already finished preparing dinner. In order not to arouse suspicion, they used rapeseed oil, which has a relatively low smoke point, and heated it in the kitchen to ensure that the smell of smoke could be smelled in the living room.
Xu Jianguo looked at the time, said something to Wen Sitian, then left home and drove towards the two old men's home.
As soon as the car was parked at the gate of the courtyard, Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong, both dressed neatly, walked out of the yard.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo quickly opened the car door and jumped out, helping the two elders to sit in the back seat.
Just as he was about to open the car door and get in, the door of the yard next to the two old men's house was pushed open from the inside, and an old man with white hair came out with a lunch box.
"Hey, you are Xu Jianguo, right?" The old man standing in the yard saw Xu Jianguo at a glance and asked with a smile.
Xu Jianguo didn’t know who this old man was, but he was certain that anyone who could live here was definitely not an ordinary person.
So he immediately walked to the front of the car, stood at attention, saluted, and said, "Hello, Chief, I am Xu Jianguo!"
At this time, the voices of Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong were heard from the car: "Wang Laogui, are you going to eat?"
"Nonsense, I came out with a lunch box, how could I be going to the toilet?" The old man said with a blank look at the two of them.
"Let's go and have a drink with my grandson!" Su Dingshan invited.
When the old man surnamed Wang heard about drinking, his eyes immediately lit up. Xu Jianguo even saw him lick his tongue involuntarily. It was obvious that he was also a wine lover.
However, the old man was only excited for a moment, but did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Xu Jianguo who was standing in front of the car.
Xu Jianguo knew Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong very well. If they were not very close, the two old men would never invite them.
So when Old Man Wang looked at Xu Jianguo, he smiled and said without hesitation: "Grandpa Wang, get in the car. You can't drink my good wine outside."
When Old Man Wang heard this, he immediately smiled like a child and said, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll take the lunch box home first!"
Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong, who were sitting in the car, looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction at the same time. They were absolutely satisfied with Xu Jianguo's performance just now.
After a while, Old Man Wang walked out of the house, opened the gate, and walked quickly to the car. Seeing this, Xu Jianguo hurried forward, helped him open the passenger door, and helped him get in the car.
Then he ran back to the driver's seat and drove towards home.
After parking the car in front of the yard, Xiao Hei in the yard called out twice towards the house. Wen Sitian and the children all came out of the house when they heard the voice.
After the four people got out of the car, the three old men didn't wait for Xu Jianguo, but pushed open the gate and walked in.
When Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong saw Xiao Hei lying in the corner, they looked at each other at the same time, but did not speak.
"Great Grandpa!" Lele was the first to shout, and then he ran towards them with his short legs, followed closely behind him.
"Hello, Grandpa!" Wen Sitian and the three girls also came forward to greet him. After being apart for seven days, the whole family reunited again, but this time the location was changed to Jingzhou.
Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong also missed their children very much, so after seeing a few people, the wrinkles on their faces immediately squeezed together. They touched one person's head and pulled another person's hand.
After being amazed for a while, the two old men introduced the old man Wang, who was envious, to everyone. Then the yard was filled with greetings one after another, which made the old man Wang, who had been alone for decades, very excited.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo hurriedly came up from behind and called everyone to go into the house.
At this time, eight dishes and one soup had already been placed on the table, and most of them were hard dishes mainly braised dishes.
The coffee table was filled with the same dishes as those on the main table, but this was the main battlefield for Wen Sitian and the children.
It’s not that Xu Jianguo doesn’t want his family to sit together, it’s just that the dining table at home is a little small and there’s not enough space for everyone to sit together.
Under the arrangement of the hostess Wen Sitian, the three old men sat down at the main table, and then the children also sat down at the coffee table.
Xu Jianguo stood up and went to the study to bring out a jar of wine, which immediately attracted the attention of Old Man Wang.
However, when he opened the mud seal of the wine jar, the room was immediately filled with the aroma of wine. Old Man Wang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his face full of intoxication. After a moment, he said, "This wine is at least a hundred years old!"
"Wow, Old Ghost Wang, you're really good. The power of your dog nose is still as great as it was back then!" Su Dingshan said with a smile.
"That's right. With my nose, I could take on the weight of a reconnaissance platoon on the battlefield!" Old man Wang said proudly.
Listening to the three old men sitting there bickering, Xu Jianguo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. He really liked this atmosphere.
It is said that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure. If people outside knew about the three treasures sitting in the house now, I wonder how many people would be envious to death.
If this news leaked out, the threshold of Xu Jianguo's house would probably be trampled down, and the mud at the door would be trampled until no grass grew.
Taking a wine ladle, Xu Jianguo scooped half a cup of amber wine into the enamel jars in front of the three old men in turn.
After Xu Jianguo took his seat, Su Dingshan was the first to raise his glass and say, "Come on, Jianguo, welcome your family to Jingzhou. The three of us old guys wish you continued success in your new position. We also wish Xiaowen all the best in her future position, and that the children will be successful in their studies and grow up healthily!"
"Thank you, three grandfathers!" Xu Jianguo quickly raised his glass and clinked it with the three of them. Wen Sitian and the children also expressed their gratitude.
Old Man Wang had been ravenous for a long time, so after taking a big gulp of white wine, he savored it for a long time before sighing, "Good wine, really good wine, this is the best wine I have ever tasted in my life!"
"Come on, three grandpas, don't just drink, eat some food!" said Xu Jianguo.
Seeing that the adults had started eating, the little ones also lowered their heads and started eating. For a moment, no one spoke in the entire living room, and all that was heard was the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding.
