After lunch, the whole family returned to their rooms to take a nap, feeling a little lazy and satisfied.
The afternoon sun is like a golden veil, gently shining into the room through the window, adding a peaceful and warm atmosphere to the room.
The soft light seemed to gently caress every corner, immersing the entire room in a warm tranquility.
While everyone was taking a nap, Du Yu and Xu Xiaoshi took the dumplings with three fresh fillings that they had packed in advance to the yard. They planned to use the low temperature in winter to freeze the dumplings and then bring them back to the house when the elderly people came to eat in the evening.
As for the chef for tonight, it was still Xu Jianguo. After he finalized the menu, he handed over the task of preparing all the side dishes to Du Yu and Xu Xiaoshi.
In the blink of an eye, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the family gradually woke up from their sleep.
Xu Jianguo prepared to pick up the three old men, Su Dingshan, Wu Tianlong and Wang Huaian. As for the old man and the old lady, they would naturally be taken care of by Chen Jin and Liang Chao, so he didn't need to worry about it.
After Xu Jianguo left, Wen Sitian found the teapot and teacups, started boiling water to make tea, and prepared to welcome the arrival of the elderly people.
Before Xu Jianguo left, the children also got the snacks and drinks they wanted.
However, the little guys didn't eat it right away. Instead, they hid it secretly in their rooms as if they were guarding a precious treasure, intending to enjoy it slowly later.
This time when picking up Su Dingshan and others, Xu Jianguo still chose to drive himself.
Before leaving, he asked Zhao Changshan and Liu Yang to come into the house to help see if there was anything else that needed to be cleaned up. The two had been in contact with Xu Jianguo for a long time and naturally knew his temper, so they agreed without hesitation and turned to walk into the house.
Xu Jianguo drove to the courtyard where Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong lived.
After he parked the car steadily, he jumped out and walked into the yard with brisk steps.
As soon as we entered the yard, three old men who heard the noise came out of the house as usual.
What surprised Xu Jianguo was that three old ladies with white hair followed them.
The three old ladies had smiles on their faces, and their eyes revealed a gentle temperament, which was like the warm sunshine in spring, making people feel particularly kind.
At this time, the six people were looking at the confused Xu Jianguo with kind faces.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Xu Jianguo immediately came to his senses. He looked at the three old men with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and that admiration was mixed with a kind of secret joy of catching his grandfathers doing something good.
His eyes seemed to say, "Grandpas, Tiger Lao is still ambitious, well done!"
The three old men naturally noticed the look in Xu Jianguo's eyes, and their faces suddenly turned red, and the originally kind expressions on their faces became a little stiff.
On the contrary, the three old ladies were much calmer. They waved to Xu Jianguo warmly.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo immediately walked over quickly, with a sincere smile on his face, and shouted, "Hello, grandpas, hello, grandmas!" His voice was full of respect and joy.
"Oh, good, good!" The three old ladies surrounded Xu Jianguo and praised him one after another, which made him feel a little overwhelmed for a moment and he could only grin foolishly.
This made the three old men standing by extremely unhappy. They felt that this brat was taking advantage of the situation.
Su Dingshan couldn't stand the smug look on the boy's face any more, so he said, "Hey, Jianguo, come on, come inside with me. We have something to tell you!"
"Yes, let's go inside and talk! Xiuhong, you guys get in the car first, we'll be there soon!" Wu Tianlong also spoke up in agreement.
Although Wang Huaian didn't say anything, Xu Jianguo looked at the old man's malicious smile and immediately felt a sense of danger. He froze in place with his mouth grinning.
"Go away, don't think we don't know what you want to do. I'm telling you, don't bully Jianguo!" The old lady called Xiuhong by Wu Tianlong blocked Xu Jianguo behind her and said warily.
"That's right, Wang Huaian, if you dare to bully Jianguo, be careful or I will punish you!" Another old lady also spoke, and her feeling was like an old hen protecting her chicks, which made Xu Jianguo, who had been an orphan for two lifetimes, feel particularly warm in his heart.
"Jianguo, let's go, let's ignore him!" The last old lady pulled Xu Jianguo and said, pulling his hand and walking out of the yard.
Xu Jianguo followed the three old ladies with a silly smile on his face. At the end, he did not forget to look back at the three old men and gave them a thumbs up, which made the corners of their mouths twitch.
Their faces showed a look of gnashing teeth, as if to say: "You little bastard, just wait for me!"
When the group returned to Xu Jianguo's home by car, Wen Sitian was also caught off guard by this sudden scene.
Her eyes widened, her heart filled with surprise and confusion. She thought, "It's only been over a week since I last saw them, and I suddenly have three more grandmothers? Aren't these three old men too fast?"
When Zhao Changshan and Liu Yang saw Su Dingshan and his companions, they immediately put down their work and walked over quickly to salute and greet them.
The old men and women returned the greeting with smiles that were full of kindness and gentleness.
When everyone arrived at Xu Jianguo's house, it felt like they were back home, without any restrictions.
They moved freely around the house, chatting and laughing.
This is also what Xu Jianguo hopes to see most, because only in this way can it be proved that their relationship is close, just like a real family.
After the old ladies entered the house, they first looked at the children one by one.
They gently stroked the children's faces, their eyes full of love.
Then he carried the youngest Xu Ping'an back and forth as if he was playing "pass the parcel", making the little guy look confused and forced to work. The confused expression on his cute little face made everyone laugh.
Finally, the three of them held Wen Sitian's hands and asked about her well-being. The four women soon started chatting together, as if age was not a limit at all, and they had endless topics to talk about.
As for the little ones, they were naturally as sweet-mouthed as if they were covered with honey, calling "Grandma, Great-Grandma" one after another.
Their voices were clear and melodious, full of childlike innocence and joy, filling the whole house with a joyful atmosphere.
