Some workers who were eating nearby all looked at what Xu Jianguo took out with envy. Some of those who came to eat with their children even tried their best to block the children's sight.
Unfortunately, it was of no avail. Soon the cafeteria was filled with crying sounds. These were all children clamoring for biscuits and the result of their parents suppressing them with force.
Xu Jianguo saw that this was not going to work. If Funiu continued to make such a fuss, she would not be able to make friends in the factory in the future. So he looked at Funiu and said, "Funiu, I once told you that you should share delicious food with others. Now the other children also want to eat cookies. What do you think we should do?"
After hearing what Xu Jianguo said, Wen Sitian couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in her heart, thinking that it was no wonder that Funniu was so sensible. It seemed that it was all because of her brother's good education.
Funiu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I'm willing to share the cookies with other children."
"Funiu, you are so good! Go and distribute the cookies to the children!" Xu Jianguo touched her little head and spoke.
There were less than ten children in the cafeteria. Funiu held the iron box of Golden Rooster biscuits, and Wen Sitian led her to distribute the biscuits to each table. Each child took three biscuits. Soon, the group of children surrounded Funiu with smiles on their faces, and then started running around in the cafeteria. From time to time, bursts of cheerful laughter were heard, and all the children's parents looked at Xu Jianguo with kind smiles in their eyes.
Wen Sitian came back with a box of biscuits. Xu Jianguo had already cleaned up the food by then. He was about to stand up to wash the lunch box, but Wen Sitian took it over and didn't give Xu Jianguo a chance to speak. She ran straight to the sink.
When Wen Sitian came back, Xu Jianguo asked, "By the way, have you finished your household registration?"
"Yes, it's done. The factory director personally took me there to do it. It went very smoothly!"
Wen Sitian said.
"The cotton-padded clothes and quilts I made last time should be taken away in a few days. Don't forget, the weather is getting colder. The sooner you take them back, the sooner you can wear them."
"Okay, I'll go ask after I've rested." Wen Sitian nodded obediently and agreed, and unknowingly turned into a walking tomato again.
"Let's go for a walk," said Xu Jianguo.
"OK!"
"Funiu, let's go!" Xu Jianguo shouted to Funiu. The little girl ran over with her short legs. Xu Jianguo touched her little head and found that she was fine and not sweating.
After putting the things on the table into the backpack, the three of them walked out of the cafeteria. Funiu waved to her little friends reluctantly.
Xu Jianguo couldn't help feeling a little guilty when he saw this scene. Children like Funniu's age need friends the most, but looking at the entire Sandaliang Village, Funiu seems to have only Xiao Shitou as a friend.
It’s not that Xu Jianguo doesn’t allow her to make friends, but Xiao Shitou is the only child in the village who is about the same age as Funniu. The rest are either still breastfeeding or much older than Funniu.
"It seems that I can bring Funiu to the factory more often in the future. At least there is no shortage of playmates here, and the little girl won't feel lonely." Xu Jianguo thought to himself.
Before they knew it, the three of them had circled the machinery factory and arrived at the door of Wen Sitian's dormitory.
Xu Jianguo took out the unopened box of Golden Rooster Biscuits and stuffed it into Wen Sitian's arms, then divided the red shrimp cakes, egg cakes and peach cakes into two portions, and stuffed one of them into her arms. Finally, he took out the red hairband he bought for her and put it in her hand.
"These are bought for you. You can keep them as snacks and use the red hairband to tie your hair." Xu Jianguo didn't know what to say, so he just kept giving instructions with his head down.
"Xu Jianguo!" Wen Sitian looked at the things in her arms, then looked at the red hairband in her hand, and shouted.
"Ah? What's wrong?" Xu Jianguo looked at Wen Sitian and asked.
Wen Sitian's big eyes were staring at him closely, her face was a little red, and her little mouth moved, as if she wanted to say something to Xu Jianguo.
Xu Jianguo did not urge her, but waited quietly. Funiu raised her head and looked at the two of them, not knowing what they were doing.
After a while, as Wen Sitian's face became redder and redder, she finally asked, "Xu Jianguo, do you like me?"
Xu Jianguo didn't expect Wen Sitian to ask such a direct question, and he stood there in a daze for a moment. After Wen Sitian asked this question, she seemed to have used up all her strength. She lowered her head and dared not look into Xu Jianguo's eyes. She waited for a long time but didn't hear Xu Jianguo's answer. This made her mistakenly think that she was being sentimental, and her eyes unconsciously misted up.
Just when she wanted to turn around and run away, Xu Jianguo's voice came to her ears: "Yes, I like you!"
The sudden surprise made Wen Sitian a little overwhelmed. Although this was the answer she wanted to hear, it was really too embarrassing.
"Xu...Xu Jianguo, I...I am two years older than you. I don't have a mother. My father married another woman after my mother died and never cared about me. If it weren't for my uncle taking care of me, I might have starved to death. Now my uncle is gone. Can you accept my family situation?" Wen Sitian said in a trembling voice.
This time, Xu Jianguo didn't hesitate and said, "You know the situation between Funiu and me. We're not much better than you. It's just right that we can take care of each other. As for you being two years older than me, I don't think it's a problem. The elders in our village all say that it's good to find a wife who is older than you, because she knows how to care for others."
"I understand. Thank you, Xu Jianguo! I... I am willing to be your wife, and I promise to treat Funiu well! But, can we get married later? After all, you are only 15 years old this year, and I am afraid of people gossip." Wen Sitian never dreamed that she would take the initiative to say that she would marry someone else. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
