The old man looked at the light in Xu Jianguo's eyes, and understood what he meant. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing a faint smile.
"Grandpa Zhou, I am willing to go to college!" Xu Jianguo nodded vigorously and said sincerely.
"Okay, then I will recommend your name later. You just need to wait for notification on the specific procedures and admission time!" Grandpa Zhou said with a smile.
"OK!"
"I know you have some skills in mechanics, but don't be complacent. Be humble and learn when you go to college!"
"Don't worry, I will study hard!"
"Okay, that's all I asked you to do today. Go back and we'll see you on New Year's Eve!"
"Okay, then I'll go back first!"
After saying goodbye to Mr. Zhou, Xu Jianguo left the office.
When Chen Jin saw Xu Jianguo coming out, he also stood up to greet him and planned to see him out the door.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo quickly stopped him. Chen Jin did not insist. After giving him a few instructions, he watched him leave.
After driving out of the West Hall, Xu Jianguo looked at the time and found that it was still early for the end of get off work, so he did not skip work and go home, but returned to the institute.
The afternoon was still spent in study and practice. It was not until the bell for the end of get off work rang outside that Xu Jianguo and Li Delong stopped.
After returning to his office and packing up briefly, Xu Jianguo put on his backpack, left the institute, and drove towards the Commerce Bureau.
After arriving at the Commerce Bureau and picking up Wen Sitian, the couple went straight home.
On the way, Xu Jianguo told Wen Sitian about what happened today when Grandpa Zhou looked for him. When Wen Sitian heard that her man was going to college, she was very happy, even happier than if she were going to study herself.
Xu Jianguo looked at his wife's pretty face full of excitement, and his heart warmed. He stretched out his right hand and held her left hand, saying, "Wife, don't worry. I estimate that it won't be long before the college entrance examination is resumed, and then you can go to college."
"Well, I'm not in a hurry. There will be a chance eventually. My task this year is to keep my body healthy and give birth to my son smoothly!" Wen Sitian said. When she mentioned her son, her face was full of pride.
Looking at Wen Sitian's adorable appearance, Xu Jianguo smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I calculated with my fingers, and this baby is definitely a boy!"
The couple returned home chatting and laughing, and the children were already waiting in the living room.
After asking Fu Bo who was staying at home if anything was wrong, the family returned to the space together.
…
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is New Year's Eve.
Because there were guests coming to our house today, the whole family got up very early. After breakfast, the whole family dressed neatly and returned home together.
The family did not change into new clothes just because today was New Year's Eve, because according to the customs of Sandaliang Village, this day is the last day of the year and is not yet the new year.
Only on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the old is finally gone and the new is ushered in, will people put on new clothes.
However, considering Lele and the three girls' love of beauty, Wen Sitian still put on brand new red hairbands for them when she was combing their hair, which made the four little beauties happy for a while.
Of course, Longxia Kingdom is vast and rich in resources, and the customs and habits in different places are also different. In some places, people have to change into new clothes on the morning of New Year's Eve.
At this time, Fu Bo had already prepared the necessary Spring Festival couplets, blessing characters and paste.
After Xu Jianguo nodded at Wenwen who was eager to try, the father and son ran outside with their things.
Wenwen was responsible for passing things, and Xu Jianguo was responsible for applying paste and pasting them on. In a short while, Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters were pasted on the gates of their courtyard and houses.
After finishing his own family's affairs, Xu Jianguo took Wenwen and drove to Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong's homes, helping them and the old man Wang's family next door to put up Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters.
Then he said hello to the three old men, said he would come to pick them up at noon, and then returned home with Wenwen.
Because several old men and Grandma Deng will come to Xu Jianguo's house to celebrate the New Year today, and considering the old people's habit of hard work and simplicity, he specially found Du Yu and Xu Xiaoshi to discuss today's menu and lower the standards as much as possible.
However, despite this, today's lunch and New Year's Eve dinner were still unusually sumptuous.
Because Mr. Zhou still had to work today, he and Grandma Deng would not attend the luncheon. When Xu Jianguo received a call from Chen Jin, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The phrase "devote all one's energy to the cause until death" was definitely not just talk.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Xu Jianguo drove to pick up the three old men. As soon as they entered the door, Wen Sitian and the children surrounded them, calling them "Grandpa, Great-Grandpa" one after another, making the three old men laugh so hard that their teeth were grinning.
Letting Wen Sitian and the children chat with them, Xu Jianguo went directly to the kitchen and started preparing lunch.
Du Yu and Xu Xiaoshi had already finished washing and cutting the vegetables, and some dishes that needed to be stewed were also simmering on the stove. All Xu Jianguo had to do was turn the other ingredients into delicious dishes. He hadn't cooked for a long time, and he even felt a little nostalgic when he picked up the spatula. His mind involuntarily thought of the scene when he cooked for Fu Niu in Sandaliang.
At that time, the little girl was just over three years old and could not speak fluently. She kept surrounding Xu Jianguo and making gaga gaga sounds all day long.
He corrected her many times and asked Funiu to call him brother, but the girl always insisted on her own opinion and never changed.
After regaining his composure, Xu Jianguo began to cook the delicacies seriously. It took him nearly two hours to serve the eleven dishes on the table.
During that time, Daya wanted to come in to help several times, but was driven out by Xu Jianguo.
Whether it is Daya, Erya or Funniu, Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian have the same way of educating them, that is, they don’t have to do housework and cooking, but they must know how to do it.
Moreover, Xu Jianguo believed that girls could only enjoy the happiness at home for 20 to 30 years, and the days of being a housewife were still to come. Why should she rush to show off now? He displayed his attribute of being a sister-loving maniac to the fullest.
