Xu Jianguo went to another room and took out some firecrackers and fireworks that he had bought for Funniu. Then he took out two bottles of Orange Juice, two bottles of hawthorn juice, and several bottles of canned fruit. He then tore off all the outer packaging, put them on the kang, and waited to take them over for dinner.
He took out two bottles of calcium milk from the supermarket, tore off the packaging, inserted straws, took them to another room and handed them to Funiu and Xiao Shitou.
It was the first time for Little Shitou to drink such a delicious drink. He jumped around the house happily and almost stepped on Little Hei who was squatting in the corner several times. Xu Jianguo was frightened by the sight.
A few old men were chatting on the kang. When they saw Xu Jianguo come in, they hurriedly invited him to get on the kang.
Xu Jianguo took off his shoes and got on the kang. He took out the two bottles of Moutai from the kang cabinet and placed them on the kang table. Li Dashan's eyes lit up. He reached out and took a bottle and looked at it carefully.
"Moutai, this is Moutai. I have only drunk it once in my life. Now I think that was twenty years ago." Li Dashan said with emotion.
"Jianguo, you're great. I guess this Moutai liquor can only be drunk at the county magistrate's house during the Chinese New Year." Li Mancang said.
"I haven't tasted Moutai yet!" said Li Erniu.
"Well, I haven't drunk it either!" Li Xin also said.
"Hehe, even the county magistrate can't drink this wine. I had a car accident in the county before and rescued an old man trapped in the car. I didn't expect that the man was a senior official from the Provincial Machinery Administration Bureau. The two bottles of wine he gave me are said to be 30 years old. I don't understand it either. It's a good opportunity for you old people to help me test it tonight." Xu Jianguo talked nonsense seriously and took the opportunity to raise Zhou Huainan's banner.
"Three... thirty years?" Li Dashan said with a trembling voice.
"Yes, that's what the old man said!"
"My goodness, this wine is very valuable. Jianguo, no, you can't drink this wine tonight. Save it for your wedding!" Li Dashan said, and others echoed him.
"Haha, I still have the wine for my wedding. It will definitely not be worse than this wine. You can drink it without worry!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Haha, are you getting married? Then can I call Tianjie sister-in-law?" At this time, Funiu, who was playing under the kang, suddenly raised her head and asked with surprise on her face.
Everyone looked at Funiu's cute expression and burst into laughter. At this time, Li Mancang said, "Yes, your brother is getting married. You can call your sweet sister sister-in-law."
"That's great!" Funiu said happily, then turned to look at Xiao Shitou, with a proud expression on her face, she said, "Brother Shitou, I have a sister-in-law too!"
Little Stone glanced at Funiu, curled his lips, said nothing, and continued to drink the calcium milk in his hand.
Looking at the two little ones competing secretly, everyone found it very interesting and couldn't help laughing.
"By the way, Jianguo, when are you and Xiaowen planning to get married? How will you make your plans for the future?" Li Mancang suddenly asked.
"Yes, tell us what you think?" Li Dashan also spoke.
"Well... this is what I think. I plan to get my marriage certificate with Wen Sitian after the New Year. In addition, she works in a machinery factory. If we live in the village after we get married, it will be too far for her to go to work. Besides, Funniu has grown up, and I have to consider her future schooling. So after we get married, I will take Funniu to live in the county." Xu Jianguo said.
After he finished speaking, no one spoke. After a while, Li Mancang and Li Dashan looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and said, "Jianguo, to be honest, we watched you grow up, and you are the most outstanding young man in our village. I am reluctant to let you go to the county all of a sudden, but I also know that as you become more and more outstanding, our small Sandaliang Village will definitely not be able to stop you. Uncle has no other request for you. No matter where you go in the future, don't forget the villagers. When you are free, you must come back to see us more often!"
"Uncle, don't worry, I will never forget you and Sandaliang Village. My parents are still hiding in the village. My roots are here! When I settle down, I will tell you the address. If there is anything in the village that needs my help, you can contact me at any time!" Xu Jianguo said seriously.
"Good boy, good boy!" Li Mancang said with red eyes.
Li Erniu did the same, looking at Xu Jianguo with red eyes.
At this time, Li Dashan said, "How can you two uncles be so screwed? It's a good thing that Jianguo can leave our mountain village. Why are you crying?!"
"Yes, Dad, this shows that Jianguo is capable. You and Uncle Erniu should be happy for him!" Li Xin persuaded from the side.
"Yes, Jinzi, you are right. It is indeed worth being happy!" Li Mancang wiped his face with his hand and said.
In this way, several grown men were chatting on the kang, and the sky outside gradually darkened. After a while, the aroma of food wafted in from the main room.
"Gurgle"
Funiu, Shitou, Xiaohei, two people and one dog ran to the door, pushed it open a crack, sniffed hard, and swallowed their saliva.
Xu Jianguo looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. As far as he could remember, this was the first time he had celebrated such a lively Spring Festival since his parents passed away.
Just as he was in a daze, the door of the house was opened from the outside, and several women came in carrying plates of steaming hot stir-fried dishes. The two little guys immediately became happy and kept running around the adults.
Crystal clear saliva flowed from the corners of Funiu's mouth again, making everyone laugh.
There were eleven people in Xu Jianguo's house tonight. One table was not enough to seat them all, and there were not even enough chairs. Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance. While collecting firewood, he chopped down two trees and put them into the space. He asked Fu Bo to cut them into wooden blocks, polish them, and use them as chairs.
The men sat on the kang, while the women sat under it with their children, using the desk as a dining table.
Xu Jianguo also got up and helped everyone serve the dishes, then went to the next room to get four bottles of drinks and canned food.
No one had seen it before, so they all asked about it. Xu Jianguo told them that it was called fruit juice, suitable for women and children.
Chicken stewed with chestnuts, braised carp, braised pork, pork stewed with cabbage and vermicelli, stir-fried meat with wood ear mushrooms, stir-fried beans and bacon, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded potatoes with vinegar, fried peanuts, and tofu with green onions.
Eight hot dishes and two cold dishes symbolize family reunion and perfection.
