My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 21 Milk Powder
"Do you know what Yanjing looks like at five o'clock every morning?"

I guess many people don't know.

But this morning, more than half of all people in Yanjing will experience it for themselves.

Just after five o'clock, the piercing air defense alarm suddenly sounded again, and from the first ring to the seventh ring, all the lights went out in sequence.

If you look at the blue star from outer space at this time, you will find that the entire Eurasian continent is plunged into darkness.

There is never a shortage of smart people in the world, nor is there a shortage of smart countries.

Although Daxia is the first country to announce the implementation of a nationwide power outage, other countries are not fools. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, we will follow up first.

……

Seeing the power outage with his own eyes, after eating a bowl of noodles made by Xu's mother, Xu Dong yawned and went back to his bedroom to catch up on sleep.

Slept until [-]:[-] in the afternoon.

After a brief shower, I drank a cup of ginseng and wolfberry tea, and ate a piece of bread to satisfy my hunger. I felt that my whole body was alive again.

When people reach middle age, they can't stay up late!

Coco and Lele are playing table tennis in the yard. The table is specially customized by Xu Dong, and the height can be adjusted, so children can play.

After playing with the baby daughters for half an hour, Xu Dong planned to go out for a walk and learn about the situation outside.

Here we will focus on the surrounding environment of Xu Dongjia.

The courtyard is built facing the street. On the left is a high-end community covering an area of ​​[-] acres. The name of the community is Champs House;

On the right is a large square, surrounded by several commercial buildings, which together form a small business district;

The back of the courtyard, including the location of the courtyard itself, belongs to an old urban village, roughly in the shape of an inverted triangle.

It's just that the area of ​​the triangle is not large, and there are only a dozen low-rise bungalows with two or three storeys in total, which forms a sharp contrast with the surrounding bustling world.

Siheyuan is located on the corner of the triangle facing the street. It is the most essential location in the entire urban village, and it is also the face of the urban village to the outside world.

Xu Dong first went to the square on the right to take a look, but didn't see half a figure.

The political consciousness of the people in the capital is still good, and they can basically do the order and prohibition.

I remember today that in the past life, there are still many businesses operating secretly on the streets of Luyang. Xu Dong himself did not follow the rules and secretly went out to purchase a large number of daily necessities.

However, it was precisely because of this large amount of supplies that their family could survive the most difficult first few years.

The topic was too far away, there was nothing to see in the square, Xu Dong turned and walked towards the "Champs House" on the left.

The community finally became crowded, and there were several aunts banging melon seeds beside the guard room and chatting.

When Xu Dong was walking past the gate, one of the stylish-looking aunts suddenly stopped him.

"Hey! Xiao Xu... Are you Xiao Xu?"

Xu Dong immediately stopped and recalled that he still did not recognize the person in front of him, so he wondered:

"Auntie, do you know me?"

The other party stepped forward: "Is your name Xu Dong, and Zhang Xiudi is your mother?"

"Uh, who are you?"

"Hey, my surname is Wang. You can just call me Auntie Wang. Your mother is a member of our square dance troupe. I have been to your house once, have you forgotten?"

This auntie Wang looks very chatty.

Xu Dong still couldn't remember, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "I remember, isn't it the last time! Uh, Aunt Wang, do you want to ask my mother, or..."

Auntie Wang took over the words quickly: "Auntie did ask your mother something, but it's the same for you!"

"Aunt Wang, if you have anything, just ask." Xu Dong said politely.

"Okay, then the aunt asked, um... Do you have any spare milk powder in your family?"

Auntie Wang knew that Xu Dong's family had triplets, and she usually consumed a lot of milk powder. She should have stocked up some milk powder at home, so she asked this question.

Xu Dong nodded and said, "There is indeed a surplus, Aunt Wang, what do you mean?"

"Oh, that's really nice."

Aunt Wang showed a surprised expression and then explained:

"We have a granddaughter who is about the same age as your Dabao.

In the past two days, only the last bit of milk powder is left. I originally planned to buy it today, but I didn't expect...

Auntie is really helpless, can you even give auntie a bucket here?My aunt bought it at triple the price. "

"I see." Xu Dong thought for a while and said, "Well... Aunt Wang, I can get you two barrels first, not to mention triple the price, just buy it at the original price."

"Thank you so much Auntie..."

"No thanks! Our two families are considered neighbors, and you and my mother are good friends, as we should." Xu Dong said politely.

"Then Xiao Xu, when is the right time for me to go to your house?"

"I'm free now, why don't you go back with me now to get it?" Xu Dong suggested.

"Auntie didn't have any money with her, can you wait a while? Auntie will go home and get it right away." Auntie Wang said with a wry smile.

Xu Dong waved his hand, "Don't worry about the money, when the call comes, you can transfer it directly to my mother!"

People who can afford to live in a high-end community should not lack this amount of money. Xu Dong doesn't believe that the other party will rely on this.

"That's fine too."

Aunt Wang is not a mother-in-law, so she agreed on the spot.

In less than 3 minutes, Xu Dong led Aunt Wang back to the courtyard.

Xu Ma was teaching the triplets to walk in the yard. When she saw the dancer coming to the door, she greeted with a smile:

"What wind brought you here?"

Aunt Wang stepped forward to tease the triplets, and then talked about buying milk powder, but just after she finished speaking, she saw Xu Dong came out with two buckets of milk powder.

She hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and when she saw that it was actually imported, she was even more satisfied.

"Thank you, Xiao Xu! Auntie is still somewhat related in our neighborhood. If you encounter trouble in the future, you can come directly to Auntie. Auntie can help."

Aunt Wang solemnly promised.

Xu's mother took the words: "Thank you, thank you, when the milk powder is finished, come back to my house to get it."

Aunt Wang nodded and said yes, the two chatted a few more about the dance troupe, and finally Xu Dong personally sent each other out of the house.

Back in the yard, Xu Dong hurriedly asked, "Mom, what's the origin of this Auntie Wang? It's very loud!"

Xu Ma glanced at Xu Dong, making Xu Dong a little puzzled.

"Who made the family have a good son?"

"I'm not bad for your son, not to mention having a house and a car, and having five children after two births, it's amazing!" Xu Dong boasted with a smile.

Xu Ma pretended to sigh and said: "Alas, you are only so promising, you are far behind others!"

"Then what does his son do?" Xu Dong asked in disbelief.

"He is a state cadre at the department level, the director of our street office here."

Xu Dong said in surprise: "Hey, I'm at the rank, and the official hat is really not small..."

"Of course, otherwise Lao Wang wouldn't be able to become the head of our square dance troupe."

Xu Dong said strangely: "Then why is their family still short of milk powder? There should be a lot of people flattering their family?"

"What's so strange about this, people just want to flatter, but they don't know that her family is short of milk powder, there is no electricity, and even the phone can't be answered.

Besides, now that the situation is so serious, her son must be very busy, and there is no energy to care about such trivial matters as milk powder. "

Xu Ma speculated.

Xu Dong was speechless and speechless, he could only admit that Jiang was still old and hot.
