My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 80 The Strawberries Are Ripe
The next morning, a photo exploded the circle of friends.

This photo is not the masterpiece of a certain photographer, nor is it a private photo of a star, the photographer is just an ordinary Luzhou native.

The photo went viral because it had a sensational title:
The river has stopped flowing!
Dahe is the mother river of Daxia people and the second longest river in Daxia.

It originates in Qingzhou, flows through nine major prefectures in the middle, and finally merges into Bohai Bay in Luzhou, with a total length of 5464 kilometers and an annual runoff of about 580 billion cubic meters.

In fact, since the early 70s, the lower reaches of the river have experienced many dry-offs.

However, starting from 2000 years, with the completion of a number of water conservancy projects, coupled with the subsequent South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the phenomenon of river dry-up finally stopped.

It's just that this year, as the drought continues to burn, according to the usual practice, the river should have stopped flowing long ago.

But thanks to the melting of ice and snow on the Tibetan Plateau far beyond previous years, she has "survived" to this day.

Xu Dong sat in the office, leisurely browsing the circle of friends.

What should come will always happen. The cessation of the river is a landmark event, and more big rivers will announce the cessation of flow in the future.

"Xiao Xu, can Panjiayuan still buy food?" Gao Yuemei asked worriedly.

Although the big river did not flow through Yanjing, its cessation of flow had a huge impact on the people, especially the people in the north.

Xu Dong said with a wry smile: "It was sold yesterday, I don't know today, but even if I can buy it, the price is hard to say, it is estimated that it will go crazy."

"Sister Gao, is your family short of food?" Xiang Xin asked curiously.

Gao Yuemei sighed: "My unsatisfactory son, hiding from me and his father, bought [-] catties of rice for his mother-in-law's family. Are you angry?"

"Can you still want it back?" Xu Dong asked with a frown.

"Why?" Gao Yuemei shook her head, "If you don't want to come back, my in-laws, the whole family are all desperate for money, and the betrothal gifts cost our family hundreds of thousands."

At this time, Gao Yuemei couldn't care about her family's ugliness, she said it all at once.

Xiang Xin said indignantly: "Brother Zhang is true, how can you be so ignorant, is it easy for us to get some rice!"

Xu Dong pulled Xiang Xin and told her to stop in moderation. This is someone else's housework, and it's best for outsiders not to get involved.

"It's all because of his daughter-in-law!" Gao Yuemei said angrily, if it wasn't for the fact that her grandson was still young, she would have wanted to drive him out of the house.

"Sister Gao, you should go to Panjiayuan more here, and try to buy 300 catties of grain again. It's worth spending more money." Xu Dong advised.

Gao Yuemei nodded: "Xiao Xu, you're right, that's the only way it can be now."

After chatting about daily life, Xu Dong went to the locker room to change into a police uniform, and then went to the gun store to apply for a police gun.

He only got his gun license yesterday, and today is his first day with a gun.

Not everyone in the security department wears guns. Old people like Uncle Chen and the others have a bad memory, so they voluntarily gave up carrying guns.

Because the gun is too sensitive, and an accident is a major event.

Because Xu Dong is the captain, he must be armed with a gun, otherwise, with his character, he would rather do one less thing than one more thing.

Come to the North Gate.

Chen Yang looked at the captain in a police uniform with admiration, and then noticed the gun holster on the other side's waist, his eyes became even hotter.

"Brother Xu, do you have a gun?"

Xu Dong nodded: "Well, I just applied for it."

"Brother, can you let me touch it? I've never touched a real gun when I'm so big!" Chen Yang prayed pitifully.

Xu Dong was very straightforward, took out the gun, removed the magazine, and handed the gun to the other party.

"Thank you bro!"

Chen Yang accepted it with excitement, but he was still very measured, and returned the gun in less than a minute.

"What's there to envy, as long as you work hard, you will be able to carry guns like me in the future." Xu Dong took the opportunity to encourage.

Chen Yang nodded solemnly, as if his whole body was full of energy.

Because he was equipped with a gun, Xu Dong didn't even dare to sleep in the afternoon, for fear that someone would steal the gun, and he finally relaxed until he handed over the gun after get off work.

Only then did he understand what a "hot potato" was!
……

After get off work, Xu Dong went to Panjiayuan as usual, and the price of food has risen again, but the price of meat has risen the most, which has almost doubled.

Even so, Xu Dong failed to grab a piece of meat and could only return empty-handed.

Back at home, Yang Lina had just finished picking strawberries and filled a small half-basket.

"Husband, you're back, the strawberries are ripe, do you want to taste them?"

"Okay!"

Xu Dong took a strawberry from the basket without washing it, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

The vegetable garden has not been sprayed with pesticides and can be eaten directly. The Coco sisters often pick cucumbers in the vegetable garden to eat.

"It tastes good, sweet and sour, but they must like to eat cocoa." Xu Dong smiled.

Yang Lina said angrily: "It's delicious, but you can't eat too much. If you eat too much, you will have diarrhea. I have to save some for strawberry jam!"

"Did Auntie Wang deliver it?" Xu Dong asked.

After all, planting strawberries is still someone's idea, and even the strawberry seedlings are provided by the other party.

"I'm about to send it. I've matured a lot this time, half of the family!" Yang Lina replied.

Xu Dong nodded without any objection.

After loading half of the strawberries and picking some fresh vegetables, Yang Lina went to the Champs Elegance Community with a large bag.

"Ding dong..."

"coming."

It was Zheng Yan who opened the door. The other party was wearing a pink dress and a pair of cartoon-patterned slippers, looking very homey.

"Nana is you, come in."

"Sister Zheng, when did you come here?" Yang Lina asked casually after entering the door.

"I just arrived in the afternoon, come here to deliver something to my mother-in-law, and I will go back later."

Yang Lina raised the bag: "That's right, I picked some strawberries, you can bring some back for the children to try."

"Are strawberries ripe?"

Wang Xiujuan came out of the bedroom with her little granddaughter in her arms, her face full of joy.

"It's cooked, it tastes good!"

"Zheng Yan, quickly wash the strawberries, let's taste them together." Wang Xiujuan ordered.

In less than 3 minutes, the strawberries were washed, and Wang Xiujuan and Zheng Yan each tasted one.

"How about it, does it taste okay?" Yang Lina asked.

Wang Xiujuan nodded: "It's really not bad that the first crop has this taste."

"Mom, seven... I want seven..."

Seeing that the adults were eating deliciously, Zhang Qi's little baby was also clamoring for it.

Wang Xiujuan was afraid that her little granddaughter would eat too much diarrhea, so she went to the kitchen and cut half of it for her. The child is too young, so just taste it.

The strawberries were delivered, and Yang Lina left shortly after. Before leaving, she asked Wang Xiujuan to come back and make strawberry jam together.

At home, the twins had returned from school, and the two were sitting in the living room, and in front of the triplets, launched a violent attack on Strawberry.
