My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 69
After Xu Dong arrived home, Yang Lina saw that it was already past nine o'clock and couldn't help complaining:

"Isn't it just a meal, why did it take so long?"

"Talked about something at work." Xu Dong replied briefly.

Mother Xu ran over in slippers and asked, "Where's the rice, have you pulled it back?"

Seeing the increasingly serious drought, Xu Ma became concerned about food a long time ago, especially after suffering from the loss of selling meat, this anxiety is better than a day.

"I've pulled it back. In the car, there are 15 bags of 750 pounds in total."

Mother Xu quickly opened the car door and looked at it, and she kept babbling:

"It's still the section chief who has the ability to get so much rice for you all at once, and it really depends on relationships these days.

Fortunately, I found you Auntie Wang at the beginning, otherwise, where would you get such a job opportunity, without this job, you would not be able to get so much rice..."

It's an old tune again, Xu Dong heard a bit of a head, so he quickly interrupted: "Mom, where is this batch of rice?"

"Let's put it in the basement. There are a lot of mice in the kitchen recently, so I can't keep things." Xu Ma replied.

Due to drought and water shortages, many birds, insects and small wild animals have begun to migrate to cities frequently.

On his way to work every day, Xu Dong would see many small animals crushed by the wheels, including weasels and snakes of all kinds, but the most dead were mice.

"Huahua, didn't you catch the mouse?" Xu Dong frowned.

Yang Lina sighed: "It's not a good thing for your two precious daughters. They think it's too dirty for Huahua to catch mice, so they simply put Huahua in the cage and don't let it come out to catch mice."

"Forget it, mice carry viruses, so it's better not to catch them." Xu Dong quickly made an excuse for himself.

Next, it didn't take much time, Xu Dong drove the rice into the basement with a forklift, and then inspected the warehouse again to see if any mice had slipped in.

The result was okay, no traces were found.

After three days like this, Xu Dong's peaceful life was broken again. Xiang Xin, who had always been carefree, suddenly announced that he was getting married, and invited everyone from the security department to attend her wedding.

The wedding time is more urgent, just the next day.

Although Xu Dong was not very interested in the inside story, he couldn't bear Gao Yuemei's enthusiasm for gossip.

"Xiao Xiang has been talking to her partner for two or three years, and she was planning to get married by the end of the year. I just didn't expect her boyfriend to be urgently transferred to Dianzhou, and he might not be able to come back during the Chinese New Year, so the wedding was held in such a hurry."

Xu Dong asked curiously, "What does her boyfriend do?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that her object is also a person in our line, a policeman."

"Police? Then why did he go to Dianzhou on business, and why did he run so far?" Xu Dong wondered.

Dianzhou is far away on the border of southern Xinjiang, more than 2000 kilometers away from Yanjing. For no reason, there is generally little intersection between the two places.

"Xiao Xu, haven't you watched the news recently?" Gao Yuemei asked in surprise.

"There have been a lot of things at home recently, and I don't have time to watch TV." Xu Dong made a random excuse.

The real reason is that he has recently become fascinated with a very wonderful novel, reading it at work and at home, so that he is not interested in any major news.

"No wonder." Gao Yuemei then explained: "There have been a lot of refugees in Dianzhou recently. You haven't read the news. It's literally everywhere. The local police force is not enough, so you can only send people from all over the country to support."

"That's it, Xiang Xin's boyfriend is really unlucky." Xu Dong said with emotion.

He had also heard about the refugee crisis in southern Xinjiang in his previous life. It seemed to have lasted for several years, until the establishment of the "Asian League", and it was finally resolved.

"That's right. Only more than 200 people were recruited from the entire Yanjing area, and they were selected. It is said that the groom will leave that night, but we will be miserable for Xiang Xin." Gao Yuemei looked sympathetic.

It's hard for outsiders to comment on this, so Xu Dong quickly changed the subject: "Sister Gao, how many red envelopes are you going to pack?"

"It's enough to pack 5000 yuan." Gao Yuemei said after thinking for a while.

This amount fully takes into account the current price level. If it is put into last year, 1800 yuan is more than enough.

"Okay, then I will also pack 5000 yuan."

……

After get off work the next day, Xu Dong went to the nearby Ruian Hotel with his colleagues. This was his first wedding since his rebirth.

Although Xiang Xin's wedding was held in a hurry, the specifications were not low at all, which can be seen from the location of the wedding.

Xu Dong looked around, at least two to three hundred people came to the wedding scene, at least one-third of them were wearing police uniforms.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the wedding officially started.

The wedding emcee is said to be the host of the TV station. He has a very active atmosphere at the scene. He arranged the whole wedding to be both warm and romantic, which made the bride cry several times.

Halfway through, Section Chief Li, as a witness, came to the stage and delivered a speech. He spoke in one breath for half an hour, and Xu Dong looked embarrassed.

Next is banquet time.

Perhaps in order to avoid being criticized for being extravagant and wasteful, the food on site was not very rich, each table had ten dishes and one soup, and the only meat dish was a braised fish.

Soon the bride and groom came to toast, and Xu Dong also took the opportunity to send good wishes.

"Xiao Xiang, Xiao He, I wish you all the best of luck and give birth to your son early."

"Thank you Brother Xu."

At the end of the banquet, Section Chief Li, including several older colleagues, were all drunk, and Xu Dong had to act as a driver to send them home one by one.

Helping Section Chief Li upstairs, the other party suddenly said, "Xiao Xu, did you know that Xiang Xin's husband applied to go to Dianzhou on his own initiative."

"Uh, is that so?" Xu Dong was greatly surprised.

"It's true, I heard what their director said. There is a shortage of police in Dianzhou. As long as you are willing to stay there for three years, you can come back and do it. Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?" Xu Dong cooperated.

"It means that it took him three years to reach my current level. Sometimes I think about it, it's really unfair, how come I didn't get such a good opportunity when I was young."

Section Chief Li seemed to be drinking too much, and even swear words came out.

Xu Dong comforted: "Uncle Li, our company is not bad. How many people want to get in but can't get in, why do you have to compare yourself to others!"

"Xiao Xu, you don't understand. There is no future for being a security guard in our company. If you have a chance, you must jump out. The outside world is very big." Li Kechang persuaded earnestly.

"Yes, yes, let's go into the house!" Xu Dong said perfunctorily.

He has made a plan. In this life, he will retire in the power company without tossing.

If you can arrange a few children into the power company, then the merits and virtues will really be complete.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Who?"

"Aunt Li, I'm Xiao Xu. I brought Uncle Li back. Uncle Li is drunk." Xu Dong shouted.

Aunt Li's nagging voice came from the house: "Okay, what kind of wine are you drinking? Don't pay attention to your body at all."

The door opened, Xu Dong helped people into the house, and then said goodbye to Aunt Li, mainly to avoid suspicion.

Aunt Li is actually not very old, more than 30 years old, with an oval face and a very pretty face, she is Section Chief Li's second wife.

Every time Xu Dong came over, he couldn't help but sigh: "A good cabbage makes a pig go over!"
