"Haoqiang, who is it?" Fan Xiuman saw that Li Haoqiang had not moved for a long time, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a look at the situation.

was greeted by a kind uncle who was smiling.

"Xiao Li and his daughter-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time," Guo Aiguo smiled at Fan Xiuman, "I'm really sorry, we came over without notifying you." ”

"Senior Li, and Senior Li's daughter-in-law, hello" A young man who looked quite young rushed out from behind Guo Aiguo, he bowed deeply to the two of them solemnly, and shouted loudly, "Sorry to disturb the two of you!"

"Xiao Kong, you don't have to be so nervous," Guo Aiguo patted Kong Dingjun on the shoulder and introduced to Li Haoqiang and Fan Xiuman, "This is my subordinate, call him Kong Dingjun, just call him Xiao Kong." ”

He paused, and the lines in the corners of his eyes also brought a little smile, and said: "We passed by this village, and thought that you two live here, and it is almost the New Year, so we came to see you." Xiao Kong was brought here by me, and I have to come over to see you, so I shouldn't stay long. ”

Li Haoqiang must have been happy to see the old leaders in the army coming, he hurriedly asked Guo Aiguo and Kong Dingjun to come into the house to sit down, and told Fan Xiuman to boil some water and pour some tea, so that they could chatter.

"Mom, who are they?" Wang Guizhi was in the kitchen and saw an amiable man in his forties and fifties, next to a young man who looked only in his early twenties.

"This is your father's old leader, you can just call him Uncle Guo," Fan Xiuman picked up the kettle, poured water into it, and gestured with his eyes, "The person next to him is called Kong Dingjun, it is his subordinate, it seems that he should be a soldier for a short time, they passed by this village, and they came to see your father." ”

Wang Guizhi knew that Li Haoqiang had served in the army, and naturally understood how reluctant he was to the army. He retired from the front line with a foot injury, so there must be a lot of things to chat with his old leader.

"Mom, since it's my father's former leader," Wang Guizhi decided to show off his skills so that Li Haoqiang could also compete for glory in front of his old comrades-in-arms, "I'll make a few more delicious dishes, treat them well, and make them more lively." ”

Just do it, Wang Guizhi rolled up her sleeves, probably because she did a lot of housework and was in good health, and she didn't feel cold in this winter.

Wang Guizhi thought about it and decided to make a few uncommon but particularly delicious northern dishes.

She took a fish, washed it, cut open the belly of the fish with a kitchen knife, poured oil into the pan and heated it, put in the seasoning, then put in the cleaned fish, fried it on both sides, and then put the cooking wine and sugar in it. After frying, pour in water. After the fire boils, add the soaked wide noodles, tofu cubes and meat skin, then add other condiments, and finally sprinkle with chopped coriander.

A fish stew is ready.

Wang Guizhi felt that this fish stew alone was not enough, so she went to make another dish of braised elbow.

She cut the bones of her fresh elbow and trimmed it into the shape of a peach. With the skin of the elbow facing up, add the five spices, heat the pot and cook until it is almost ripe. She heated the pan and fried her elbows side down until golden brown. After frying the elbow, remove it, put it in a bowl, add green onion and garlic, mix some water with the previous braised soup, pour it into a bowl, put it in a steamer and start steaming. After steaming, turn the elbow upside down into a large plate and pour the prepared sauce over the elbow.

Wang Guizhi finished these two dishes, and fried some of the dumplings he had just made into crispy dumplings. All of them are golden yellow, and they look very delicious. Wang Guizhi also sprinkled a layer of self-made tomato sauce on the side of the plate, which can be dipped and eaten.

"Yo, why is there still movement in the kitchen?" Guo Aiguo saw that the kitchen seemed to smell of oil smoke, and said to Li Haoqiang with a smile, "These dishes are enough for us to eat, so you don't have to let your daughter-in-law work anymore." ”

However, Fan Xiuman came out to pour tea for them, and when he heard Guo Aiguo's words, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Leader Guo, I didn't do it, it was our queen Guizhi." She's good at her craft, and you'll be blessed in a while. ”

"Xiao Li, when did you have a daughter, why didn't you notify us?" Guo Aiguo never expected this Li Haoqiang, he hadn't seen an extra girl for a few years, and couldn't help complaining.

"Gui Zhi is an abandoned baby that I picked up with Xiuman, I went back with my biological parents six years ago, and I only came back not long ago. Li Haoqiang told Guo Aiguo the truth.

Guo Aiguo nodded and said lightly: "I see." ”

It's someone else's family matter, and he's too embarrassed to say anything more.

After a while, an eighteen-year-old girl wearing a plain dress and two braids walked out. She held a large bowl of stewed fish in her hand, her eyes were shiny and shiny, her lips were pink and tender, and she looked like she had an aura.

Guo Aiguo looked at the generous girl in front of him and was very satisfied.

"Xiao Li, your girl is really good. Guo Aiguo exclaimed.

Wang Guizhi brought the dishes over, and Li Haoqiang said to her: "Guizhi, you can sit down and eat together." ”

She answered, sat down, took the dishes and chopsticks that Fan Xiuman gave her, and ate slowly. The way she chews and swallows slowly is even more endearing.

As the man ate and ate, he couldn't help but start talking.

Somehow, it came to Wang Guizhi.

"My daughter, it's really good," Li Haoqiang burped, his face turned red, probably his comrades-in-arms who hadn't seen him for a long time came to visit him, very excited, "It's a pity that her biological parents didn't treat her very well, and they didn't even let her go to college." This girl was wronged and came to us. Now in college, not only do I work part-time, but I also earn money by writing manuscripts while studying! The principal invites her to dinner when he finds out!"

Li Haoqiang paused, and continued to boast, he felt that his daughter's praise was not enough: "Guizhi, this girl, don't forget us even if you make money." When I went home for the New Year, I brought a lot of good things to Xiuman and me. If it weren't for the cold weather, I would be wearing the jeans that my daughter bought for me every day! She also saw that Xiuman had sores on her hands, and bought her a pair of warm gloves!"

"This girl is much better than the stinky boy in my family," Guo Aiguo listened to it, and also admired this girl, "They all say that the girl is their own little padded jacket, which is really not bad at all!"

Kong Dingjun is relatively introverted, so he can only eat silently and listen to them talk. But when he heard Wang Guizhi's things, he couldn't help but admire this self-reliant girl in his heart.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Wang Guizhi was pleasing to the eye, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Wang Guizhi felt Kong Dingjun's gaze at her, she raised her head, stared at his face for a few seconds, showed a smile, and continued to bow her head to eat.

And Kong Dingjun looked at Wang Guizhi's shocking glance just now, and unconsciously blushed, and his face was still hot.

After eating, Kong Dingjun asked Guo Aiguo: "Leader Guo, when are we leaving?"

Although he was a little reluctant to leave here, he still had to return home.

Maybe he has too much to say with his old comrades-in-arms who haven't seen him for a long time, Guo Aiguo forgot all about his so-called "shouldn't stay too long", shook his hand and said: "It's not time yet, I still have to talk to my old comrades-in-arms." ”

Kong Dingjun really can't help Guo Aiguo, and he can't drag Guo Aiguo back, which will only ruin their fun. And the meal just now was so delicious that he didn't want to save their face.

"That," Kong Dingjun looked at Wang Guizhi, scratched his head embarrassedly and asked, "Do you have a bicycle at home?"

When Wang Guizhi heard someone speak, he quickly turned his head, was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "Yes, yes." ”

Kong Dingjun looked at Wang Guizhi staring at him, he didn't know why he always felt that his heart was beating extremely fast, he didn't dare to look at her, he lowered his head and looked at the floor: "Can you borrow my bicycle for me? I have to go home." ”

"Yes," Wang Guizhi was not stingy at all, she naturally didn't take this little thing to heart, she pointed to the bicycle at the door, "That's it, you use it well." ”

The bicycle that Wang Guizhi pointed to with her finger was still the mountain bike that Wang Yanbin stole her money to buy!

Kong Dingjun, who had permission to do so, said a word to Guo Aiguo, and then rode on a mountain bike and looked at his village.

Fan Xiuman looked at the interaction between the two people just now, and she always felt that this Kong Dingjun was more or less interesting to Wang Guizhi. And she thinks that Kong Dingjun is a young man who is very upright, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his body is very straight, not to mention that he is still a soldier under Li Haoqiang's old comrades-in-arms, and he is really a talent.

Although Wang Guizhi said that he liked Li Haoqiang a little, Fan Xiuman felt that Kong Dingjun should be quite good, but he was afraid that his daughter would see the wrong person at that time.

Thinking so, when she talked to Guo Aiguo, she also wanted to ask about Kong Dingjun's news, intentionally or unintentionally: "That young man named Kong Dingjun, I look very spirited, the young man is not bad, very polite." ”

Guo Aiguo listened to Fan Xiuman's praise of his subordinates, and was naturally very happy: "That's not it, this young man is very obedient, like other recruits, just a little frizzy, he is very honest." ”

"So honest, the family should be the eldest brother, and he should usually help bring his younger brothers and sisters or something. Fan Xiuman asked tentatively.

Guo Aiguo listened, laughed, touched the stubble on his chin, and roughly explained Kong Dingjun's situation: "That's not true! But he doesn't have a younger brother at home, only a younger sister and sister." It's like he's the only boy in his house. ”

Fan Xiuman listened, but felt not very satisfied. She also has sisters, so she naturally knows the truth that women have a lot of things. If Wang Guizhi really marries in the past, there are so many sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law, they must not be tossed? It is said that three women are in one play, but there are so many women in Kong Dingjun's family, this house should become a theater!

"This kid has so many sisters in the family, forget it," Fan Xiuman muttered, "I'm afraid that his sister-in-law will say that our Guizhi is not worthy of his family." ”

Li Haoqiang heard her words, but he was not in a hurry, and whispered to her with a smile: "It's okay, this kind of thing is not in a hurry." Our daughter, everyone deserves it!"

The speed of this mountain bike is much faster than that of a normal bicycle. It didn't take long for Kong Dingjun to rush to his home. It's just that this time is a bit unfortunate, and when he rushed back, the family had already eaten dinner.

Shen Lifang, the mother of Confucius, saw her son coming back, and hurriedly greeted: "Son, have you eaten? Come and eat something, this meal is still hot." ”

Kong Dingjun remembered the meal he had at Wang Guizhi's house just now, shook his head and said, "Mom, I've eaten, I'm already full, so I don't need it." ”

At this time, Kong Dingjun's sister Kong Xiaozhen pointed to the mountain bike he was riding over and asked curiously: "Brother, what kind of bicycle is this? ”

Kong Dingjun smiled and said, "This is a mountain bike. Just now, when Guo led by a village, he went to see his old comrades-in-arms. I was in a hurry to come back, so I asked their daughter to borrow the car. ”

Kong Dingjun is also of marriageable age, and Shen Lifang suspiciously wants to introduce him to a partner. She heard that this comrade-in-arms of Leader Guo also had a daughter, so she couldn't help but inquire.

"How old is their daughter?" asked Shen Lifang quietly.

"About eighteen years old," Kong Dingjun speculated as he recalled Wang Guizhi's appearance, "she is still in college, a college student." ”

Shen Lifang, who originally had the intention of matchmaking, was suddenly a little dissatisfied.

She is a bit patriarchal, so she loves her son very much. Shen Lifang felt that it was a waste of money for such a big girl to go to school instead of getting married and working.

She dismissed the idea of matching the two.

But after Kong Dingjun went home, his mind was full of the girl Wang Guizhi.

And Guo Aiguo's lackey, Wang Guizhi lay on the bed after washing, recalling the Kong Dingjun he met today, and involuntarily thought of Li Yongchang, who was about the same age as him.
