The reason why Xu Jianguo chose to accept the apology from the Li Jinlong brothers was mainly because there was no deep hatred between the two sides.
Even if Li Jinlong colluded with people from other villages to steal grain from the village, it would affect the collective interests of the brigade and had no direct relationship with Xu Jianguo himself.
So considering that the old village chief had been kind to the original body's parents, and that they had both already received punishment, Xu Jianguo didn't mind doing them a favor. After all, he wouldn't lose anything by forgiving them, and he would also have one less enemy, so why not do it?
Soon, Xu Jianguo brought the calf back home. Wen Sitian and the children had finished their nap. When the five children saw the calf Xu Jianguo brought back, cheers suddenly rang out in the yard.
After Xu Jianguo tied the rope to tie the cow, he walked to Wen Sitian and looked at the five little ones surrounding the calf, looking left and right, his face full of speechlessness. He thought to himself that these five guys wished they could stay in the space every day. There were plenty of calves and lambs in the pasture in the space, but he had never seen them take the initiative to run over and get close to them. How come they became so popular as soon as they were brought out of the space?
Wen Sitian looked at Xu Jianguo's helpless expression and couldn't help but laugh. She asked, "When are we going to Uncle Mancang's house?"
Xu Jianguo looked at his watch and found that it was just past four o'clock, so he thought for a moment and said, "Let's go over now. There's nothing else I can do to help my uncle and aunt."
"Okay!" Wen Sitian agreed.
"Okay, okay, let's get ready to go!" Xu Jianguo shouted to the children.
"Dad, Dad, can I ride the calf?" Lele ran to Xu Jianguo, hugged his thighs, raised his head and asked.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Lele shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid."
"Okay, let's ride it!"
"Yeah!"
In this way, the group left home and walked towards Li Mancang's house at the foot of the mountain.
Wenwen was holding the calf steadily, with Lele sitting on its back. The three girls and Xiaohei were on both sides. Wen Sitian and Xu Jianguo were walking at the end, carrying several cloth bags filled with things in their hands.
This unique shape quickly became a scenic spot in the village. Many children from the villagers stared at them with curiosity, and some brave children had already come over.
Because they have lived in the army for many years and Xu Jianguo's family is not short of money, the five little ones are much better than the children in the village in terms of clothing and appearance.
However, after several years of development, the village is no longer as difficult as it was when Xu Jianguo was here. At least every family can have enough food to eat. Although they have not yet reached the level of being able to eat meat freely, people living at the foot of the mountains still have a way to get meat.
Seeing more and more children gathering, Xu Jianguo, although he didn't know any of them, took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from his bag and gave two to each child.
Seeing this scene, the children immediately cheered and kept saying thank you uncle to Xu Jianguo.
Xu Jianguo smiled and nodded at them without saying anything.
After thanking Xu Jianguo, some children turned around and ran to show off to their friends, while some even ran directly to other people's homes.
When the children who were eating at home heard that someone was giving out candies, they immediately put down their bowls, jumped off the kang, and ran out in their slippers.
Those who run fast may still catch up, but those who run slowly will be grabbed by the back of the collar by the adults and will inevitably be scolded.
When these children came over, Funiu was also observing everyone, as if she was trying to find her childhood playmates.
But many years have passed, and the friends who used to play with her are now adults. How could they do something like chasing people for candy?
Looking at Funiu's somewhat lost expression, Xu Jianguo did not say anything to comfort her. He hoped that the girl could slowly get used to this feeling. After all, she still had a long way to go in her life, and not everyone could accompany her all the way. In the middle of the journey, some people left and some people joined. This was the most normal thing.
Xu Jianguo walked and made fortune as he went, and soon arrived outside Li Mancang's yard.
Li Xin, who had just killed a chicken and was cleaning the yard, heard the noise outside and hurried out to check the situation.
As soon as he opened the gate, he saw Xu Jianguo standing outside, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Jianguo, come in!"
"Brother Jinzi!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
When the group entered the yard, the children outside the door dispersed. Xu Jianguo ignored some greedy little ones who had already taken the candy and still wanted more.
At this time, the door of the main house was pushed open and Li Dashan walked out of the house. Following him were Li Mancang and Zhang Meijuan, and Li Xin's wife Wang Erni.
Next to Wang Erni, there were two half-grown boys standing. One was Li Lei, who was Shitou, Funiu’s childhood playmate. The other boy, who was about the same age as Wenwen, was Li Fusheng, the son of Li Xin and Wang Erni, and the grandson of Li Mancang.
"Jianguo, Xiaowen!" Li Dashan and others hurriedly came forward.
"Grandpa Dashan, Uncle, Aunt, Sister-in-law, Shitou!" Xu Jianguo shouted and walked towards them with Wen Sitian.
"Good boy, you've grown taller and stronger, and look more and more like a veteran!" Li Dashan said with a smile on his face as he looked at Xu Jianguo in military uniform.
"Of course, I can't embarrass you!" Xu Jianguo said.
Li Dashan nodded in satisfaction, looked at Wen Sitian and said, "Xiao Wen, everything is fine, right?"
"I'm fine, Grandpa Dashan, are you feeling well too?"
"Oh, okay, it's fine!"
After a round of greetings, the children also greeted their elders.
Funiu even pulled the old man and Erya to run to Xiao Shitou. The four of them were whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were talking about. They had met each other the last time Xu Jianguo came back to visit his relatives. So when they met again this time, the four of them didn't look like they hadn't seen each other for many years, and there was no sense of unfamiliarity when they talked.
Wen Sitian brought Wenwen and Lele to Zhang Meijuan and Wang Erni. It was the first time they met Lele. When they saw her cute little appearance, they liked her very much.
Li Fusheng, who was standing aside, quickly got along well with Wenwen after some initial discomfort.
"Grandpa Dashan, take a look at this calf?" Xu Jianguo said.
