As Xu Jianguo called out, everyone stood up and sat down at the dining table.
As soon as Xu Jianguo picked up the chopsticks and started eating, Funiu immediately picked up the noodles and put them into her mouth.
When the taste that couldn't be more familiar spread in her mouth, Funiu squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
She has been craving this for several years. Although Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian have used the space portal to go to the Parrot Country many times, this girl always behaved carefree and heartless and never said anything about missing home.
As Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian had watched her grow up, how could they not know what this girl was thinking? She was afraid that if she said she missed home, her brother would immediately transfer her back to Jingzhou.
But Funiu didn't want this to happen. She liked her current job, so she would rather bury her longing deep in her heart than show it at all.
After lunch, the whole family sat down on the sofa in the living room again and continued to distribute gifts.
Among the four large suitcases that Funiu brought back, except for one suitcase containing her own clothes and belongings, the remaining three suitcases were filled with gifts brought back from the Parrot Kingdom for her family.
Looking at the happy smiles on the children's faces, and then looking at the cashmere coat and scarf that Funiu bought for him, Xu Jianguo's face showed an extremely happy smile.
The happiest ones among them were Lele and Xiaohongdou, because Funiu bought them many local special snacks from Parrot Country.
This is the best gift for these two little foodies.
After the gift distribution session was over, everyone sat on the sofa and started chatting about family matters.
The reason why Funiu returned to China this time as the counselor of the Longxia Embassy in the Parrot Kingdom was mainly because of her excellent performance abroad. In addition, Xu Jianguo really missed this girl, so he used a little bit of his connections to call her back.
According to the appointment letter issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Funiu will have a one-month vacation when she returns to China. After the vacation, she will rush back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to report and officially begin to perform her new duties as the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Longxia Country.
Because of the extra-long vacation of one month, Funiu started her Jingzhou food tour after resting for two days to adjust to the time difference.
In the girl's own words, it means that she has to seize the time to eat all the things she hasn't eaten in the past few years.
Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian had no objection to this, but for the several children in the family who were still in school, the temptation was indeed a bit too great.
So every weekend, Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian would hardly ever see them at home, as they would all go out with Funiu and the others.
…
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Wen Sitian, who was in her office in the Ministry of Commerce, suddenly received a special call.
After she hung up the phone, she fell into a long silence.
The person who called her was a doctor from the First People's Hospital of Fu'an County.
The content of the call was also very simple. The other party directly asked Wen Sitian whether she knew someone named Wen Yuanxin.
Wen Sitian certainly knew this person because he was her biological father.
According to what the doctor said on the phone, Wen Yuanxin saw the news about Wen Sitian in a newspaper. He is now suffering from advanced liver cancer and has little time left.
After Wen Sitian's mother passed away, his second wife disappeared after learning about his illness. No matter how hard the street office and the public security bureau searched for her, they couldn't find her.
Everyone knew that the woman had simply left Wen Yuanxin alone and didn't want to care about it anymore, but no one told him this speculation directly.
In fact, Wen Yuanxin himself knows it, but what’s the use of knowing it?
Coincidentally, one day, a patient in the next bed threw a newspaper he had bought on the bed when he was discharged from the hospital and did not take it with him.
Wen Yuanxin had nothing to do, so he thought of reading the newspaper to pass the little time he had left.
Unexpectedly, he saw Wen Sitian's figure in the most prominent position on the front page headline.
Although they hadn't seen each other for decades, Wen Yuanxin recognized her as his own daughter at first sight.
In order to have someone to rely on when he is old, Wen Yuanxin began his performance. He first called a doctor and showed him the photo of his daughter in the newspaper. Then he asked the doctor to find people from the public security station and the neighborhood committee.
After everyone was gathered, Wen Yuanxin began to accuse Wen Sitian of being unfilial to him in tears in the ward, and requested the government to inform Wen Sitian that he was seriously ill so that she could come back to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life.
Because Wen Yuanxin is now in the hospital and has been in arrears, after the doctor, the neighborhood committee and the public security bureau left the ward and discussed it for a while, they decided to help him find Wen Sitian.
Since Wen Sitian's unit and position were already stated in the newspaper, it was not difficult to find her.
But everyone is a little worried. The director of the Ministry of Commerce is an official at the bureau level. If he goes one step further, he will be a vice-provincial level official. So if this matter is not handled well, these people will definitely be the ones to suffer.
However, considering that Wen Yuanxin owes more and more money, it was thought that he had no other relatives around him. But now there is finally a clue, the hospital naturally hopes that Wen Sitian can help pay off the hospitalization fees. As for whether his daughter will take care of her father in his old age and see him to the end of his life, in fact, neither the hospital nor the street office and the public security station care much.
Finally, after a few people discussed it, they reported the matter directly and finally succeeded in getting Wen Sitian's office phone number.
The person who made the call was Wen Yuanxin's attending physician. After all, they were the unit that was owed money, so it was most appropriate for them to make the call, which led to the previous scene.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Sitian was silent for a long time. Finally, with red eyes, she picked up the phone and called her man.
After Xu Jianguo received a call from Wen Sitian and listened to her retelling of the story, his brows involuntarily frowned.
He could hear that Wen Sitian's tone was full of grievance and unwillingness, which made him feel heartbroken.
So, after comforting Wen Sitian for a while, Xu Jianguo told her not to agree to the other party for the time being and leave the rest of the matter to him, and then hung up the phone.
