After Xu Jianguo put the clothes he prepared for the three old men on the kang, he urged them to try on the size so that he could take them back and change them if they didn't fit.
The three old men were not polite. Except for underwear and autumn clothes, they tried all other sweaters, trousers, cotton jackets, cotton trousers and cotton shoes, and they all fit very well.
"Jianguo, how do you know I wear too many shoes?" Wang Huaian was wearing new cotton shoes that fit his feet perfectly, walking around the house, as happy as a child.
"Don't you see what I do? I can tell the size of ordinary things at a glance. Last time when you came to my place for a drink, I was thinking of preparing new clothes for you when the weather got cold, so I specially looked at your sizes!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"This is it for you kid. I haven't worn new clothes or new shoes for many years. This year I'm lucky enough to have these two old guys. Thank you!" Wang Huaian said with emotion.
"Grandpa Wang, we are drinking buddies. It's really awkward for you to say that!"
"Jianguo is right. We are not outsiders. Don't always act so rudely. If you really want to thank this guy, supporting him in the future is better than anything else!"
"Hahaha, Old Man Su, you're right. Jianguo is also right. We are drinking buddies!"
Seeing the three old men were so happy, after they took off their new clothes and changed into their old ones, Xu Jianguo stepped forward to help them fold their clothes and put them back into the bags. He then gave each of them a cigarette, went to make a pot of tea, cleared his throat and said, "I came here today, in addition to giving you three things, I also have something to report to you!"
When the three old men heard this, they looked at Xu Jianguo in confusion, not knowing what this guy wanted to say.
"What's the matter? You still need to report? Tell me quickly!" Su Dingshan said after taking a sip of tea.
"Yes!" Xu Jianguo agreed and said with a broad grin, "My wife is pregnant again. I'm going to be a father again!"
"What? Xiaowen is pregnant with the third child? When did it happen?" Su Dingshan became excited when he heard it and asked quickly.
The expressions on Wu Tianlong and Wang Huaian's faces were also full of anticipation, and they looked at Xu Jianguo with burning eyes.
So Xu Jianguo told the three old men what he had just learned last night and what he had done at the hospital for a check-up today.
"Hahaha, good, good! This is a great thing!" Su Dingshan said with a smile, patting his thigh.
"Hey, so, since this is a great opportunity, the three of you shouldn't go to the cafeteria tonight. Come over to my place for dinner and let's celebrate!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, kid!"
"Yes, this is indeed worth celebrating!"
Seeing the three old men agreed readily, Xu Jianguo was very happy. At this time, he was still thinking about going back to call the old man to tell him the good news.
In addition, it was time to fulfill his previous promise to the old man to bring his wife and children to his home for dinner. If he had not been too busy recently, he would have gone to eat for free. After all, as a reborn person, Xu Jianguo was looking forward to seeing the old man and the old lady.
After chatting with the three old men for a while, Xu Jianguo got up and walked around the main hall and the yard. Then he returned to the house and asked, "Grandpa Su, I see we don't have much coal left at home. How are things being arranged here in the compound?"
"You don't have to worry about this matter. There are people in charge of logistics!" Su Dingshan said.
"Yes, if it's not enough, just make a phone call and it will be delivered!" Wu Tianlong added, and Wang Huaian nodded in agreement.
Xu Jianguo nodded and didn't say anything else, but he secretly took note of it in his mind and planned to call the logistics department to ask about it.
Because he was thinking about Wen Sitian at home, Xu Jianguo did not stay long. Seeing that it was almost noon, he said goodbye.
The three old men didn't keep him and got up to send him to the gate of the yard.
After agreeing to pick them up at his home for dinner in the evening, Xu Jianguo drove away.
After returning home, Wen Sitian and Daya had already been taken back to the space by Du Yu. They felt the temperature of the house, touched the earth heater and the fire wall with their hands, then walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up the phone and dialed.
"Hello?" Chen Jin's voice came from the receiver.
"Uncle Chen, I'm Jianguo!"
"Haha, it's you, kid. What's the matter?"
"Well, there's something going on. Is the old man busy now?"
"The captain is not busy now, please wait!"
"good!"
A moment later, the old man's voice was heard in the receiver: "Jianguo, I heard from Huang Hai that the mission was completed quite well. I want to commend him!"
"Hey, it's my job, I should do it well!"
"Okay, you're quite conscious. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Nothing, my wife is pregnant with our third child. I wanted to share the good news with you. By the way, I wanted to discuss with you when I can come to your house for a meal."
"Hahaha, this is a happy event. Please give my regards to Xiaowen. Your grandma has urged me several times, but I knew you were busy with work before, so I didn't call you. This time is perfect, you've finished your work, so let's go to my house for dinner this Sunday!" The old man said with a smile.
"Okay, it's settled then!"
"Okay, I have something else to do here. I'll ask your Uncle Chen to pick you up then!"
"I understand. Please take care of yourself!"
"Okay, got it!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Jianguo called the logistics department of the Security Bureau again. After introducing himself, he told the three old men that they did not have enough coal at home. When the people on the other end heard it, they immediately said that it was a mistake in their work and promised to arrange someone to deliver it over soon.
Xu Jianguo did not make things difficult for them. After all, he knew that the country's coal mining technology was still very backward at that time, and so many factories across the country could not do without coal in production, which was indeed a bit stretched.
He planned to go back to the three old men's homes and check on them. If there was still not enough coal to burn, Xu Jianguo planned to send some to them himself. After all, he still had a lot of coal in his space. He had brought it with him to burn at home when the troops were rotated to the Dawali base.
After finishing everything, Xu Jianguo left Du Yu at home and returned to the space.
Because Wen Sitian is pregnant, Xiaohei and Erhei can no longer stay at home and want to stay by their mistress' side all the time.
Xu Jianguo was happy to see them like this, so he ignored these two black guys.
Today's lunch was ordered by Wen Sitian herself, mutton soup with flatbread, and Xu Xiaoshi naturally followed her instructions.
Seeing his wife enjoying the meal, Xu Jianguo was very happy. While biting the pancake, he gave Xu Xiaoshi a thumbs up.
