My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 398 Sugar Surprise
After some courtesies, Xu Dong pointed to the bag on the table and explained:
"Sister-in-law Bi, there are ten catties of sugar here, and each catty costs 3000 yuan. I wonder if your family needs it?"

Aunt Bi was shocked and said incoherently:
"Ah...you are...that shrimp..."

Xu Dong nodded: "That's right, we also bought the shrimp through special channels. Although Lao Bi is gone, his quota is still there and he still has the right to buy."

"Thank you, thank you so much."

Mrs. Bi rubbed her sore eyes, she didn't expect that after her husband's death, they would be able to follow her.

"You're welcome, this is what Lao Bi deserves."

Mrs. Bi nodded: "Please wait a moment, both of you, I'll go get the money right away."

In the current environment, many families have saved an emergency fund, and no one knows whether the solar flare will come again.

Even without solar flares, there might be other conflicts and wars.

Xu Dong waved to the three children.

"Hello, uncle!"

"Do you want some candy?"

"miss you!"

Little brother Bi, who was only seven and a half years old, replied loudly.

Xu Dong smiled and touched the other party's little head, and told the eldest sister:
"Go to the kitchen and pour three glasses of water."

In less than 1 minutes, three glasses of water came out.

Xu Dong took out a small bag of white sugar from his pocket and poured some into the water cups in turn. This bag of white sugar was prepared to prevent the situation of lack of weight, damage and leakage.

After all, the price of white sugar is not cheap, any less is a big loss.

"Thank you uncle."

"White sugar melts slowly, stir it with chopsticks before drinking it." Xu Dong reminded.

The children ran into the kitchen excitedly.

Director Li suddenly became interested, and tapped his cup with his fingers, the meaning was very obvious.

Xu Dong couldn't help joking, "You want it too?"

"My old man wants to taste some sweetness, can't he?"

"Okay, why not!"

Xu Dong smiled and fulfilled Director Li's wish.

Director Li picked up the cup and shook it, drank more than half of the cup in one breath, and then couldn't help but sigh:

"I didn't realize until today that sugar water is so delicious. Now even if there is a bucket of water in front of me, I can still drink it."

"What if you can't drink?"

Xu Dong raised his bar.

"I can't drink it, I'll drink it slowly!"

"You are so old, why are you still playing tricks?" Xu Dong teased.

Just as Director Li was about to refute, Mrs. Bi came out with three bundles of red notes.

"Director Li, Section Chief Xu, please count."

Director Li quickly waved his hand, pointed to Xu Dong and explained, "Give the money to Xiao Xu directly. He got the sugar and it has nothing to do with me."

"Without Uncle Li, I would not have been able to find this place."

"Both of you are great benefactors of our family."

Xu Dong shook his head: "That's too serious."

Next, under his insistence, Mrs. Bi borrowed an electronic scale from next door, weighed the sugar, and the result was two or two more.

I refused the extra 600 yuan offered by Mrs. Bi.

After staying for less than 10 minutes, Xu Dong and Director Li left. The three children were full of reluctance for Xu Dong, the new uncle.

So it was eight o'clock in the evening.

Xu Dongcai sent Director Li to the gate of the community.

The two worked hard for a long time, even lunch and dinner in the car, the hard work paid off, and they finally ran all over the house before the curfew.

"Uncle Li, wait..."

Director Li turned around: "What's the matter, is there anything else?"

Xu Dong picked up a bag of white sugar and handed it over.

The bag of white sugar was not sold, not because they didn't want it, nor because they couldn't afford it, but because the family moved away, and they couldn't find a contact number, so they had to let it go.

"Uncle Li, if you don't accept cigarettes, why don't you also accept this bag of sugar?"

Director Li "snatched" the bag: "Huh, such a good thing, a fool would not want it, you have a conscience."

"I've always had a conscience, okay?"

"Old man, I'm tired and I don't bother to argue with you. The money... I'll send it to you via WeChat later. It's almost curfew time, so you should hurry back!"

Director Li waved his hand.

Xu Dong replied with an "OK" gesture.

……

On the way home, Director Li felt dizzy as if he had won a 5 million lottery.

"Hey, Lao Li, where did you go today? Why didn't you come back until now?"

This is a public rental housing complex, and the people living in it are all civil servants who moved here last year. Many of them are old leaders and colleagues who have been there for decades, and they are very familiar with each other.

Director Li subconsciously blocked the bag.

This action made Old Wu suddenly interested:

"Look at how nervous you are. There won't be any prohibited items in the bag, right?"

Director Li quickly shook his head: "How is it possible, am I that kind of person?"

"Isn't it? You'll know if you open it and have a look."

"I won't talk nonsense with you. I still have something to do today. I'll go back first."

Director Li directly passed the other party, then trotted away quickly.

"Wait, what are you in a hurry for?"

Old Wu shouted from behind.

Director Li was unmoved, but sped up his speed, which made Lao Wu more sure that there must be something extraordinary in the bag.

Director Li, who returned home, let out a deep breath, almost revealing his secrets just now.

Old Wu has a big mouth, if the old folks find out about this, for the sake of old love, he will give at least half of the sugar.

It's not that he's stingy, it's that there are several children in their family, and they can only be selfish for the sake of the healthy growth of the next generation.

"Dad, are you back?"

It was director Li's daughter-in-law Feng Yunli who spoke.

Director Li's wife died of illness last year, and his old man can't cook, so now he can only move to the elder son's side.

"Well, where are Duo and Puff?"

"Watching TV in the bedroom, Dad, why did you go, why are you sweating profusely?"

Feng Yunli brought a towel for her father-in-law.

"It's okay, I came back in a hurry."

Director Li took the towel and put the bag on the coffee table.

"Dad, what's in the bag?" Feng Yunli asked curiously.

"Sugar." Director Li replied.

"I got the sugar back? Doesn't it mean that I can get it tomorrow?" Feng Yunli was pleasantly surprised.

The whole family knew about the white sugar from the very beginning. In order to distribute this batch of white sugar, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law came over twice.

Finally, under the mediation of the father-in-law, a consensus was finally reached, and each family will share three catties, and the last catty will be reserved for the father-in-law himself.

Director Li waved his hands and explained with a grin:
"These ten catties of white sugar are extra. There will be ten catties left tomorrow. Dad was lucky this time, and got a total of twenty catties."

"Dad...what the hell is going on?"

Feng Yunli blushed with excitement.

Director Li had no choice but to tell what happened during the day.

"This section chief Xu is so generous, why didn't he keep it for himself?" Feng Yunli asked in confusion.

"He runs a big company at home, he doesn't lack money, and he has a wide range of roads, so he probably doesn't lack these things. This is the real talent!"
