The train stops at Kyoto Station.
Lan Guoer helped Mr. Su get off the train.
It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and a surging heat wave swept over like an overwhelming force. Every breath felt scorching hot, making people feel extremely hot and unbearable.
Lan Guoer and Old Man Su frowned in unison.
"It's so hot, but it's still comfortable on the grassland!" The old man couldn't help but sigh, and it seemed that he was still not satisfied with this trip.
"Wow! This is Kyoto! So many people, so lively!"
Baru jumped out of the car carrying their luggage and looked around excitedly, his eyes and ears obviously not enough.
Today happened to be the weekend, and Su Guosheng and his guards were already waiting on the platform.
Seeing them coming forward quickly, the guard took the luggage from Baru's hands with great discernment.
"Dad, Xiao Guo'er! How was your trip? Did it go well?"
Su Guosheng was wearing a military green casual suit, standing straight in front of the two of them with a slight smile on his lips.
Before the two could speak, Liu Xiangqian, who got off the car first, ran over, stopped and saluted.
"Reporting to the commander! Everything went smoothly! Comrade Lan also brought back thirteen live sheep. Xiao Liu has already taken people to the hauling station to handle the acceptance."
Su Guosheng blinked, glanced at the little girl who was stroking her forehead with one hand, and calmed his expression.
"Thank you for your hard work, comrades! Borrow a car from the railway station and take this girl home. I'll pay for the gas."
Liu Xiangqian: Luckily, I was smart enough! I just had to stop him from driving the sheep on the road!
Only then did Su Guosheng notice the young man following closely behind Lan Guoer.
The young man is tall and strong, with a resolute face. He looks like a good candidate for a soldier.
"Who is this?" he couldn't help but ask.
Lan Guoer was only thinking about the sheep and forgot about Baru, a living person.
"This is Baru, Uncle Da Zi's brother-in-law, my new little brother. I brought him to live with me for a while."
"Hello, Uncle Su! I'm Baru."
Baru saluted like Liu Xiangqian just did and said with a smile.
Although he didn't understand his daughter's confusing generational structure, upon hearing that she was Da Zi's family, Su Guosheng subdued his aura, smiled, and patted Baru's shoulder. "Good boy, you have a good physique! The team is recruiting recently, do you want to try out? Uncle will help you arrange it!"
The old man talked to him about what happened back then many times, so he naturally knew how much kindness Da Zi had shown to the old man!
Baru: “…”
How come you're talking about joining the army before you even get established?
Since he was a child, he has been trained by Brother Da Zi according to the team's standards. This is a rare opportunity for him to take a break, but he doesn't want to be sent to the team again!
Seeing that he was so sunny just now but now had a look of despair on his face, Lan Guoer knew that her father was just wishful thinking!
Hurry to smooth things over,
"Dad, Baru is the helper I hired. Why are you trying to snatch him away as soon as we meet? Let's go, let's go home first! It's too hot outside."
Su Guosheng also saw the displeasure on the boy's face, so he took advantage of the situation and said,
"Yes, yes! Go home! Your Aunt Han has made mung bean soup and dumplings at home, just waiting for you to go back and cook them."
Because she had spoken to Jinyuan on the phone in advance and agreed that they didn't need to pick her up, Lan Guoer was not in a hurry to go home and went to the compound with Su Guosheng.
In the courtyard, Mr. Zhou had just finished lunch and was out for a walk. When he saw Mr. Su's car driving into the courtyard, he quickly walked over.
"Hey, you old fellow, you're still willing to come back? I heard you went to the northwest? Didn't you think of bringing back some dried meat for everyone?"
Mr. Zhou spoke with a hint of sourness in his words.
He had spent more than ten years in the Northwest Military Region in his early years, and he missed it very much now! When he heard that Mr. Su had gone to the Northwest, he immediately submitted a report and wanted to go there, but was rejected by the higher-ups.
He was also told not to follow the trend blindly and to learn more from other veteran comrades in the compound. He was so angry that he almost reached over the phone and beat someone up.
"Hmph! You talk like I owe you something!" Old Master Su wouldn't tolerate him and rolled his eyes at him!
"But what about the meat? Of course I brought it, and quite a lot! I just don't know if your teeth can still chew it! "
"So what if I can't bite it?" Old Man Zhou said unconvincedly, "The big boss said there are always more solutions than problems! I won't just simmer it in the pot for a while. It will eventually become soft!"
"Okay, okay!" Old Master Su waved his hand.
"I'm still waiting to go home and eat dumplings! I'll ask your godson to send them home for you later!"
Lan Guoer covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from laughing!
Not to mention, she quite likes listening to the old men bickering. It feels like a crosstalk, funny and interesting.
Seeing her grandfather enter the yard, she raised her eyebrows, leaned close to Mr. Zhou's ear, and said mysteriously,
"Grandpa Zhou, there's more than just dried meat! We also have live grassland sheep. Tomorrow, you and Grandma Zhou wait at home, and I'll bring one home for you!"
Mr. Zhou opened his eyes again and again! Finally, he grinned with joy and nodded at Lan Guoer's head.
"You're the smart one, little girl! You really mess with my temper! Grandpa Zhou is telling you, your Grandma Zhou has hidden a phoenix hairpin. Ask her to give it to you later! Grandpa is waiting for your big live sheep!"
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows, hummed a little tune and continued to eat.
In the room, Han Wenying and Su Guoyu were busy making dumplings in the kitchen.
"Brother Baru, is the grassland very big? It's so big that you can't see the end of it at a glance?"
Xiaojie was eating a watermelon, blinking his big watery eyes and chatting with Baru.
Obviously everyone has been introduced.
Han Wenying poked her head out from the kitchen and greeted with a smile,
"Guo'er, are you hungry? There's some iced watermelon on the coffee table. Eat a piece to quench your thirst first. The dumplings will be ready soon!"
"I understand, Aunt Han!"
Lan Guoer was indeed a little thirsty, so she sat on the sofa, picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite.
"Mmm~ This watermelon is so sweet! It's so cool and refreshing! "
"Sister Guo'er, these watermelons are grown in your yard. Uncle Tang sent five of them yesterday." Xiao Jie gestured with his hand.
"That's great! I'll have something to eat when I get home!"
Since arriving in Kyoto, Old Man Tang's interest in farming has only grown! Now, he has fully utilized all the empty space in the backyard and planted all kinds of fruits and vegetables.
Not only did Jinyuan have no shortage of vegetables, but he also took on the responsibility of providing all the vegetables for the Su family.
“That’s right!”
Thinking of the horse-head fiddle she had exchanged at the market, Lan Guoer pretended to dig it out of her luggage.
"This is a gift my sister brought for Xiaojie! Do you like it?"
"Wow! This is... a horse-head fiddle?! A gift for me?"
