When Xu Jianguo returned to the space, Wen Sitian and the children had already gotten up.
At this time, everyone had changed into new clothes and was waiting in the yard for Xu Jianguo to come back.
When Xu Jianguo appeared in the corridor, Junwen was the first to run over.
"Dad, Happy New Year! Why didn't you wait for me this morning?" Wenwen said.
"Son, Happy New Year! Children need to get enough sleep, so I didn't call you this morning. I wanted you to sleep a little longer." Xu Jianguo said with a smile. As he spoke, he took out a red envelope from his pocket and put it in his steady hand.
"Oh, okay! Thanks, Dad!" Wenwen said after taking the red envelope, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
As the little guy finished speaking, the three girls and Lele also trotted over to the two of them.
"Brother, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Dad!"
"Hey, Happy New Year to you guys too. Here, this is your red envelope!"
Xu Jianguo said with a smile, then distributed the red envelopes prepared in advance to the four girls, and then walked towards Wen Sitian.
In Xu Jianguo's home, he and Wen Sitian never interfere too much with the red envelopes the children receive. They just give them a few words of advice and ask them to keep them well.
So these little guys all have a lot of private money, and the richest one among them is the girl Funiu.
After all, she was the first one to be with Xu Jianguo, and she had received quite a few red envelopes since she was a child. However, this girl seemed to have no concept of money. When she was at the Dawali base, she often secretly took Lele and Wenwen to the service center to buy delicious food after school or on holidays, and she was almost always the one to pay, as if she had the aura of a young lady who had to get out of the way.
Daya and Erya would often buy things for their nephews and nieces, such as toys, picture books, hair ornaments, and various snacks.
The couple naturally had no objection to the children's behavior. At the beginning, Wen Sitian felt that it was a little inappropriate. After all, there was a small supermarket in Xu Jianguo's space, and there was no need to spend money at all. Why waste money outside?
But after Xu Jianguo's guidance, she gradually accepted the little ones' behavior of spending money indiscriminately.
According to Xu Jianguo, children must learn to spend money, otherwise if they have no concept of money when they grow up, problems will easily arise.
After sitting down next to Wen Sitian, Xu Jianguo first touched her belly, then said with a smile: "Wife, Happy New Year!"
When Wen Sitian heard this, a sly smile immediately appeared on her lips. She stretched out her hand and placed it in front of Xu Jianguo, saying, "Where's my red envelope?"
When Xu Jianguo saw the cute look of his wife, he immediately laughed, and then a thick red envelope appeared in Wen Sitian's hand.
Wen Sitian was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Of course! My wife rarely asks for anything, so I must satisfy her! Except for the stars and the moon that are lit, I can't take them away. As long as I have it, I will give you whatever you want!"
Listening to the sweet words from her man, Wen Sitian felt sweet in her heart. She nodded vigorously at first, and then gave Xu Jianguo a bright smile.
Looking at his wife's smile, Xu Jianguo became a little dazed, as if the two of them were back in the cafeteria of the Red Star Machinery Factory in Fu'an County.
At that time, Wen Sitian was holding little Funiu in her arms and gave him a bright smile. It was because of this smile that Xu Jianguo fell completely in love with this woman.
…
After the family had breakfast, Xu Jianguo took a shower and changed into a new military uniform, then took everyone back home.
Just now while eating, he had told Wen Sitian about calling Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang.
So when everyone returned home, Wen Sitian sat down next to the phone and called Lin Wan and Sun Xiuqin.
The two calls lasted for about twenty minutes each before being hung up. Then Xu Jianguo picked up the phone again and called Huang Hai and Wan Chongshan from the Security Bureau, as well as Wei Guoqiang's office in the Ministry of State Security.
After he called Ma Guoliang and others, he tried to ask the operator to contact the homes of the three old men, but he was unable to get through because the other party had a high level of confidentiality.
So Xu Jianguo had to wait until after working hours and try to contact their office to see if there was anyone on duty.
The first person who got through was Wei Guoqiang. Just as Xu Jianguo guessed, such a big incident happened between Mexico and South Korea in the early morning. It was unlikely that he, the Minister of State Security, would stay at home.
However, due to the principle of confidentiality, Wei Guoqiang did not reveal a single word about what happened in the two countries, and Xu Jianguo naturally would not do something that would reveal his guilt.
After a simple New Year's greeting, Wei Guoqiang asked about the equipment upgrade and then the two ended the call.
Huang Hai and Wan Chongshan also received calls. They came to the office early because they had to go to the grassroots level of the Guard Bureau to wish the soldiers a happy new year.
After Xu Jianguo wished them a happy new year, he hung up the phone.
Now I finally had some peace and quiet. I looked at the time and it was already past nine o'clock in the morning.
The heavy snow outside has not stopped yet, and the thickness of the snow in the yard has exceeded twenty centimeters. The five little guys plus Xiaohei and Erhei are having a lot of fun playing outside.
Xu Jianguo stood up and walked to the window, stood next to Wen Sitian, and looked at the little ones who were playing happily in the yard. The corners of their mouths couldn't help but curl up.
The couple didn’t care at all whether the children would get their new clothes dirty while playing in the snow. If they got dirty, they could just change into new clothes.
"Wife, I originally wanted to take you to the Forbidden City to see the snow scenery, but we don't know when the heavy snow will stop. It's dangerous to drive out, so let's stay at home!" Xu Jianguo said helplessly.
"Isn't it nice to stay at home? Let's wait until the snow stops! By the way, when are we going to see the Taoist priest?" Wen Sitian asked.
"Let's do it tomorrow. We all stayed up all night yesterday, so we should have a good rest today. I'll ask Uncle Fu to go over and deliver some things, and by the way, tell him we're going over tomorrow!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Wen Si nodded. After that, she looked up at Xu Jianguo and asked, "Jianguo, it's snowing so heavily, what should we eat for lunch?"
When Xu Jianguo heard Wen Sitian's tone, he immediately laughed and said, "I think spicy hot pot is good, what do you think?"
"I think it's pretty good too, hehe!"
"That's settled then, we'll have hot pot for lunch!"
Xu Jianguo always agrees to his wife's preferences in food. Besides, although he himself cannot eat spicy food, he also likes hot pot. So, apart from slight differences, the family's tastes are completely consistent in general.
