After the two finished talking, Wen Sitian hurriedly took the children to greet the two elders. The old man and the old woman looked at the five children in front of them, their faces full of joy.
For various reasons, the two elders had no children and devoted almost their entire lives to this country.
As they grow older, the two old people are increasingly envious of other people's families with children and grandchildren around them. They thought that this would be their life, but they didn't expect that there would be such a lively day in their own family. How could they not be happy?
So when the two little guys, Lele and Wenwen, called their elders "Great Grandpa, Great Grandma" one after another, the smiles on their faces never disappeared. This scene made Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian sigh.
Wenwen and Lele were actually fine, but Wen Sitian and the three girls were a little confused. Although Xu Jianguo had prepared them mentally before they came, when the characters in the book really appeared in front of them, the four girls could not hide their excitement.
Although Xu Jianguo had told his family about Grandpa Zhou more than once, this was the first time they had seen him in person, so even Fu Niu, who was always quirky, began to become cautious.
The two elders led Wenwen and Lele into the house, and the others followed behind them.
At this time, Wen Sitian came to Xu Jianguo and whispered, "Jianguo, I... I'm a little nervous!"
Xu Jianguo looked at his wife and children with a smile on his face, then looked at the three girls and whispered, "Grandpa and grandma are very nice people. You don't have to be nervous. Just do it like when we returned to Sandaliang!"
"Brother, I never dreamed that I would be able to come to Grandpa Zhou's house for dinner!" Funiu was in much better condition at this time, but still said with some excitement.
"We will come here often in the future, but you can't tell anyone about this, understand?"
"Well, don't worry, brother. I promise not to tell anyone!" Funiu said seriously. Wen Sitian, Daya and Erya also nodded vigorously.
After following the two elders into the house, Xu Jianguo first found a place to put the two jars of century-old medicinal wine he brought with him, and then he had time to look around the layout of the house.
Just like what I saw on TV in my previous life, Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Deng’s home was very simple, with furnishings no different from those of ordinary people’s homes, and even looked slightly inferior. It was impossible to imagine that this was the home of a country’s founding pioneers.
The table was already filled with dishes. The two elders led Wenwen and Lele to the table. Seeing Xu Jianguo still standing there in a daze, they said, "Jianguo, what are you thinking about? Come and eat! Xiaowen, bring the children over!"
"Hey, here we come!" Wen Sitian was the first to agree, and led the three girls over, and Xu Jianguo followed behind them.
Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Deng sat on both sides, leaving the two seats between them to Wenwen and Lele. Then Xu Jianguo sat next to the old man, Wen Sitian sat next to the old lady, and the three girls sat down in turn next to their sisters-in-law.
Because the old man still had work to deal with in the afternoon, no one drank alcohol at lunch today. Instead, the little ones and Wen Sitian drank the pear soup made by the old lady herself, which was also added with rock sugar and white fungus. They were very happy.
After everyone sat down, the old man did not say a few words like other patriarchs. He simply welcomed Xu Jianguo and his family, and then asked everyone to start eating.
Originally, the old man thought that the children would start eating after he finished speaking, but he found that none of the children had any intention of picking up their chopsticks. Even the youngest, Lele, sat there obediently.
The two elders were quite puzzled. After looking at each other, they looked at Xu Jianguo.
Xu Jianguo touched his nose and said with a smile: "Grandpa, grandma, the children are waiting for you, the second child, to pick up your chopsticks first!"
After listening to this, the old man first picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in Lele's bowl, then looked at Xu Jianguo and asked, "Did you teach this rule?"
Seeing that the elders had already started eating, Wen Sitian and the children began to eat.
Xu Jianguo said: "How is it possible? This is what happened..."
So Xu Jianguo recounted the story of how he had picked up Funniu, and then told Grandpa Zhou about the girl's eating habits and how they had invisibly influenced the entire family.
The old man became happier and happier as he listened, and finally he burst into laughter. He looked at Funiu and said, "Girl, your master has taught you very well!" After that, he looked at Daya and Erya, as well as Wenwen and Lele who were eating, and said, "You are all good children. Eat as much as you want at Grandpa's place today!"
"Thank you, Grandpa, thank you, Great-Grandpa!" several children said in unison.
About forty minutes later, a sumptuous family dinner came to an end amid the laughter and joy of everyone.
After lunch, Mr. Zhou took Xu Jianguo to the study.
Wen Sitian originally wanted to take the three maids to clean up the dishes, but they persuaded her to come back. In addition, the old lady also asked her to be careful, after all, she was pregnant.
She had no choice but to give the three girls a few words of advice and then went to the living room to chat with the old lady. Wenwen and Lele squatted beside her, fiddling with something.
The old lady asked Wen Sitian about her children, her work, and her opinions on the country's future economic development.
