Chapter 35 Originally an old friend
Director Gao dismissed the melon-eating crowd, and the children were taken back to eat by their parents.
At this time, Mrs. Zhou, who was sitting on the ground, got up from the ground with a stern look on her face, "Director Gao, then I will take my grandson back. I have caused you trouble today!"
"Aunt Zhou, we all need to live in harmony with each other as neighbors. Even a kid knows this, and you should know it even at your age!" Director Gao said earnestly to Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou nodded her head in agreement, and then quickly slipped away with Zhou Hongxing.
Huizhen returned the top to Jinhuan, "Jinhuan, I'm going back too!"
After saying that, he waved to Jin Huan and ran away. At this time, only Jin Huan and Director Gao were left.
"Whose doll are you from? I seem to have never seen you before!" Director Gao touched Jin Huan's head.
She admired this little girl very much. She could talk in a certain way and could scare a shrew like Mrs. Zhou into being speechless. She was very powerful.
Jin Huan pointed to the door of her home with her little hand, "My home is here, I just came back today!"
"Is your surname Xu?" Director Gao asked in surprise.
"How do you know? My name is Xu Jinhuan, and my ancestor is Xu Huaian!"
"Mr. Xu is back? Let's go! I'll take you home!"
Jinhuan took Director Gao into the house and shouted into the house: "Zuzu, a guest is coming!"
Grandpa Xu came out of the house carrying a broom and saw Jin Huan leading a woman in her thirties in.
He said he was a guest but he didn't recognize him, so he had to politely lead the guest to the chair he had just cleaned.
"Report to the chief! Gao Xiulan, the former confidential officer of the Thirteenth Army Headquarters, reports to you!" Director Gao snapped a military salute to Mr. Xu.
"I have been retired for several years, and I am no longer a leader! Gao Xiulan? Let me think about it..."
Grandpa Xu returned the salute, but he still didn't remember who Gao Xiulan was. His previous troops were all combat troops, and there were very few female soldiers. He really had no impression of the person in front of him.
"Chief, it's me! Little Basket!" Director Gao was very excited.
"Small basket? Ah! I remember it! I remember that you were small and had big braids at that time, and you stayed in the headquarters for several years.
When you were transferred away, my security guard, the young man Xiao Li, was still feeling sad for a long time!
You've changed so much that I won't recognize you for a while!"
Grandpa Xu finally remembered who Gao Xiulan was? The woman in front of him didn't match the little basket in his memory.
Director Gao said with some embarrassment: "Chief, I was only a teenager at that time. It has been almost twenty years, so I have certainly changed!"
When I changed my job and returned to Jincheng, I heard that you lived here. I came here many times without seeing you, and later I found out that you had returned to the countryside.
If my great-granddaughter hadn't mentioned your name, I wouldn't have known you were back! Are you planning to come back and stay here permanently?"
Grandpa Xu waved his hand, "I'm used to living in the countryside, and I can't stand the hustle and bustle in the city. Now I'm bringing my great-granddaughter back to play and clean up the house!"
Director Gao looked at Jin Huan and said to Grandpa Xu: "Your great-granddaughter, not only does her facial features look like yours, her temperament is also exactly the same as yours.
No matter where you go, you won't suffer any loss, you still have the shadow of the time when you were fighting, and you scared that shrew, Mrs. Zhou, with just a few words, hahaha!"
"Old Mrs. Zhou?" Grandpa Xu thought for a while: "That's the old Mrs. Zhou whose son went to the BJ? How did Jinhuan get involved with her?"
"Jinhuan fought with her grandson, and she got angry when she saw her grandson losing! She is a piece of meat, who doesn't know this?
As for your great-granddaughter Xingzhi (sc word: capable and capable), you can beat her up to the point where she can’t even speak! That cowardice makes me laugh to death! Hahaha..."
As soon as Grandpa Xu heard that Jin Huan was fighting, he became extremely nervous and quickly pulled Jin Huan over to check him up and down.
"Did you get hit anywhere during the fight? Where does it hurt?"
"No Zuzu" Jinhuan patted Mr. Xu's hand in relief, "I beat Zhou Hongxing unilaterally. I have practiced martial arts for such a long time, so I can't embarrass you, right?"
Seeing that the tone was still full of joy, Grandpa Xu felt relieved and said, "That's good, you didn't beat him up for good, right?"
"No, I didn't exert any effort, I was just gesticulating!" Jin Huan shook his head nonchalantly.
She is very measured, she will never hurt others and leave something to be said, nor can she be so ruthless as to beat them to death.
Director Gao looked at the interaction between his grandfather and grandson and thought that it was no wonder that the chief had to retire and go back to take care of his great-grandson. This child was bold, careful, and smart. Who wouldn't like him after seeing him?
Grandpa Xu and Director Gao looked at her proud look and both breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm afraid that if Zhou Hongxing goes back and something goes wrong, things will not go well. Mrs. Zhou's toad-like temperament that doesn't bite people and is disgusting is enough.
Grandpa Xu and Director Gao chatted for a long time. Director Gao invited Grandpa Xu and his grandson to her house for dinner, but Grandpa Xu refused.
Nowadays, every household is in short supply of food, and people generally don’t come to visit them easily.
Besides, although Director Gao and her husband work both ways, they both have heavy family burdens, and they have several younger siblings that they need to support.
He also asked Jinhuan to bring out a few kilograms of beans, including soybeans, mung beans, and red beans, and give them to Director Gao to take back.
Director Gao was too embarrassed to refuse. These few kilograms of beans were not considered a small gift now. At the beginning of this year, these soybeans were still considered nutritional supplements. They could only be bought if a seriously ill patient in the hospital had a certificate.
Grandpa Xu insisted on giving it, saying that it was grown in his own land and was not worth anything, so he asked her to take it back and cook it for the children.
Director Gao then accepted the beans, and Grandpa Xu sent her out the door.
It’s not that Grandpa Xu is poor and generous and uses things as favors. Gao Xiulan is already the director now, and there may not be much change in the next ten years.
In the future, Jinhuan will go to school and may have to go back to the city, and there will be places that need others to take care of. It is always good to have some etiquette.
Jin Huan entered the second entrance and found that Master Xu had packed up the bedroom in the east wing and was preparing to move in tonight.
The pots in the kitchen have also been put away, making it easier to boil water for washing at night.
In fact, if he didn't have a good time, Grandpa Xu could make do with a bunk on the floor for a few days without washing his face or scalding his feet.
Just considering that Jin Huan is a girl, a girl must be clean and tidy so that she cannot be looked down upon by others.
Looking at the courtyard that had almost changed inside and out, Jinhuan admired Grandpa Xu very much.
The era we lived in before was already very smart, and large and small household appliances had liberated most of the labor force.
In addition to cooking skills, you can enjoy your laundry and cleaning skills. Relying on these household appliances, you can also keep your life in order.
But nowadays, cleaning relies on a broom and a rag. It is simply a miracle that Grandpa Xu has tidied the room so well just by himself.
"Zuzu, you are so awesome! The house is so clean!" Jinhuan turned on the doggy mode, "As long as you are with Zuzu, you don't have to worry about anything!"
Grandpa Xu pinched Jin Huan's nose lovingly and let her act coquettishly, "You are the only one with a sweet mouth!"
When the sun went down in the afternoon, Grandpa Xu took back the quilt and made the bed.
When the bedding was laid out, the army green bedding and the old-fashioned wooden bed seemed a bit out of place.
Jinhuan can actually tell that although these furnitures do not have many carvings, they are very old and can be regarded as old objects even if they are not antiques.
