Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already 1979.
This year's Gregorian calendar year, a group of old men and women still had their reunion dinner at Xu Jianguo's home.
Since Daya's due date is next month, the old ladies have been surrounding Daya since they entered the house.
Some of them were there to ask about her well-being, some were there to share their experiences, and since Daya was a first-time mother, she naturally wrote everything down very carefully.
Lin Hongtao and Lin Hongxia, brother and sister, even brought a small stool and each had a notebook, and wrote down the experiences taught by the old ladies, which made others laugh.
Because the old man had a meeting in the afternoon, the reunion dinner was still scheduled for noon.
While eating, he looked at the three large round tables and one small square table in the room, patted Xu Jianguo on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Jianguo, I heard from Lao Huang that he talked to you about changing houses several times, but you didn't agree. Why?"
When the other old men heard this, they also looked over curiously.
Su Dingshan put down his chopsticks and asked, "Yes, with your current level, you could have moved to a bigger house a long time ago. Why didn't you do that?"
Xu Jianguo smiled and said, "Well, it's not that I don't want to move. It's just that I've lived here since I came to Jingzhou, so I'm used to it. Also, the kids are getting older, and even Wenwen is taking the college entrance exam this year. I'm just worried that if we move to a bigger house, after just a few years, the kids will get married and move away. Then the house will be empty, and won't it seem lonely?"
"You always think too much. At worst, you can just change it back when you feel it's deserted!" said the old man.
"That's right. You said you are only in your thirties this year, but why don't you see things as clearly as us old guys! Besides, if you don't move to a bigger house, when the little ones come back with their other halves, there won't be enough space to sit down for dinner. Don't you want to eat delicious food without bringing us old guys with you in the future?" Su Dingshan said jokingly.
When Xu Jianguo heard this, he quickly said, "How can that be? I'll change it, can't I? I'll call Director Huang as soon as I get to work!"
"Hahaha..." Everyone looked at Xu Jianguo's fearful look and burst into laughter.
Ever since these old men and women drank the century-old medicinal wine provided by Xu Jianguo, the hidden diseases in their bodies have been eliminated bit by bit.
Every year when I go to the Health Bureau for a physical checkup, I attract countless envious glances.
However, the old guys had said in advance that no one would reveal the reason except those with particularly strong connections. Only Qin Zhan and Zhao Hongtu from the Health Bureau who had dealt with Xu Jianguo before knew about it.
Xu Jianguo felt very proud when he saw the elderly people with rosy faces.
In fact, he didn't intend to let all these old people who had made contributions to the country live to be 100 years old. Not to mention whether he could do it, even if he really did it, it would be very troublesome to explain it at that time.
However, he also had a small goal in his mind that he had already set, which was to try his best to let them see the return of Hong Kong and Macau, as well as the grand military parade for the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
After lunch, Xu Jianguo went to the inner room and took out the camera that had been prepared long ago, handed it to Liu Yang, and asked him to help take a group photo of everyone.
After taking the photos, Wen Sitian led the little ones and a group of guards to clean up the mess, while Xu Jianguo started to boil water to make tea for the elderly.
While the water was boiling, Xu Jianguo went to the yard again, avoiding everyone's sight, and took out a large wooden box from the space.
Inside the wooden box were more than twenty military canteens.
The kettle contains a nutrient solution he made by using the space well water, adding century-old medicinal herbs from the medicine garden, and supplementing it with black Tai Sui, which has the effect of prolonging life.
But despite this, Xu Jianguo still cannot make everyone live to be a hundred years old. All he can do is to ensure that these elderly people will not suffer from illness, and he is powerless to stop the aging of the organs in the body.
When Xu Jianguo returned to the house carrying the large wooden box, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"What good stuff have you prepared again?" Su Dingshan asked.
"Hehe, Grandpa Su, this is the elixir of life!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Bullshit!" the old man said with a blank look at him.
"Don't disbelieve me!" Xu Jianguo said as he put the wooden box on the ground. He then called Lele and Xu Ping'an over and asked them to take the military water bottles in the box and give one to each of the elderly. He then continued, "I stumbled upon something good a few days ago and made some nutrient solution that has the effect of prolonging life. When you go back, drink a small sip every day before going to bed. You'll discover the magic of this thing the next morning!"
"Is it really that powerful? Even more powerful than the medicinal wine you brewed?" Su Dingshan took the kettle, unscrewed the lid and smelled it. He smelled a faint medicinal fragrance, which immediately lifted his spirits. Even the dizzy feeling from drinking alcohol before was much better.
The old man unscrewed the lid and sniffed it, and he also discovered the magic inside. He asked, "Jianguo, tell me, what good stuff did you come across?"
"Black Tai Sui! It's what we call Ganoderma lucidum, but it's pure black. I've always wanted to make this kind of nutrient solution, but I've never succeeded due to the lack of the main medicinal ingredient, Black Tai Sui. I'm lucky this time and happened to come across it. If the seller didn't know the value of it, I probably wouldn't be able to buy it!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Oh my goodness, Black Tai Sui, this is the first time I've heard of it. I can tell at a glance that it's a precious thing!" Wang Huaian said as he tightened the lid of the kettle, and then directly put the kettle on his back, causing a group of old men and women to laugh.
But despite their laughter, the old guys also followed suit and put on the water bottle straps, which made Xu Jianguo laugh.
After distributing the nutrient solution, Wen Sitian had almost finished cleaning up. Daya was a little sleepy due to her pregnancy, so Lin Hongtao and Lin Hongxia helped her to take a nap in the bedroom of Xu Jianguo and his wife on the first floor. The old men and women consciously lowered their voices.
