My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 97 Aunt Li is Pregnant

As soon as Xu Dong left the section chief's office, he was surrounded by everyone.

"Boss, what did Uncle Li tell you?"

"Is the section chief going to be promoted? What kind of position is it?"

"Xiao Xu..."

"Everyone, listen to me!" Xu Dong pressed his hands to calm everyone down: "Uncle Li doesn't want to be promoted, and he won't transfer outside, so don't make random guesses."

"what……"

Some looked disappointed, some breathed a sigh of relief, but most of them were disappointed that they didn't eat the melon.

Xiang Xin asked persistently, "Boss, what does Uncle Li have to do with you?"

"I just asked about the duty last night, okay, let's all go!"

Xu Dong casually made up a reason that privately inviting guests to dinner is not suitable for public occasions.

At lunch time, Xu Dong carried a 50-jin bag of corn flour to the place where the food stamps were exchanged in the logistics department. The food stamp system will be implemented next month.

I just didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.

"Director Su, long time no see!" Xu Dong took the initiative to greet him.

Director Su immediately recognized the person in front of him and smiled: "So it's Xiao Xu. I heard that you have done a good job in the security department, and you have been promoted to captain?"

"Hey, Section Chief Li is willing to give young people a chance." Xu Dong said modestly.

"I know Lao Li, and he really likes to train young people."

The two exchanged a few words, and Xu Dong looked at the grain bag at each other's feet and asked curiously, "Director Su, what kind of grain did you bring?"

"Rice, how about you?"

"I brought corn flour, which I just got from the grain store in the morning." Xu Dong replied.

"Really, is the price of rice more expensive now, or the price of corn flour?" Director Su asked.

This one doesn't seem to do much housework.

"Almost, according to the official pricing, the unit price of rice is about 10 yuan, and the corn flour is 8 yuan a pound. Director Su, are you bringing hybrid rice?"

"No, our family eats Northeastern rice."

Xu Dong couldn't help but patted his thigh: "Director Su, you are at a disadvantage. Northeast rice now costs more than 200 yuan in the market, and corn flour is at most [-] yuan. The price difference is almost double."

"It doesn't matter." Director Su waved his hand, "We are all part of the company, there is no need to worry about everything, it is a blessing to suffer."

Xu Dong could only say embarrassedly: "It's Director Su, you have a high level of consciousness!"

After changing the food stamps, Xu Dong went to the cafeteria to take a simple bite, and then secretly hid in Dabenli by himself, eating seven or eight fried small dried fish in a row.

Deep-fried dried fish is a snack that Xu's mother made for her granddaughters. Xu Dong was greedy, so he took the opportunity to ask for a lot of it, and usually put it in the car.

After eating the dried small fish, Xu Dong wiped his mouth and chewed the gum again, and then returned to the north gate with satisfaction.

"Boss, you're back." A dispatch worker stood up and greeted.

"Well, have you all eaten?" Xu Dong asked casually.

"Ate."

Compared with the company cafeteria, the food dispatch workers eat is even worse. Every meal is rice with mixed grains, with a little pickle at most.

The so-called multigrain rice is rice, sweet potato cubes, potato cubes and corn flour, all mixed together and cooked into a paste.

This kind of multigrain rice is okay to eat occasionally, but if you eat it regularly, it will not only make you tired, but also easily cause constipation.

In addition, since June, the security company will not provide food, and dispatch workers need to hand in food every month.

Survival is not easy!

……

After get off work, the two cars drove out of the north gate one after the other, and in less than half an hour, they arrived at Section Chief Li's house.

After getting out of the car, Xu Dong took out a cigarette and handed it over:

"Uncle Li, get one!"

Section Chief Li waved his hand: "No, I'm ready to quit smoking."

Xu Dongbei was surprised, knowing that Section Chief Li was an old smoker for decades. Well, the other party actually quit smoking.

"Uncle Li, are you physically..." Xu Dong tried to ask.

"It's not a physical reason."

Section Chief Li shook his head, and then took the initiative to explain: "This morning, aren't you wondering why I'm so happy? Actually, it's nothing to say. Your aunt is pregnant, and I'm happy."

"Auntie is pregnant?" Xu Dong suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Li Kechang is clearly in his fifties, yet he can still have a son at an old age?After he reacted, he immediately flattered:

"This is a big happy event, Uncle Li, you are really young!"

Thumbs up when finished.

Section Chief Li laughed: "I didn't expect much at first, but luck came, and I couldn't stop it."

Xu Dong put away his cigarettes silently, since there are pregnant women in Li Keqiang's family, smoking is deliberately disgusting.

"How many months is the child?"

"In less than two months, I just got the results yesterday." Chief Li looked relieved.

Arriving at the door of the house, Section Chief Li knocked on the door first, and then opened the door with the key. After the two entered the house, Aunt Li walked towards him.

The visitor covered his stomach in one hand and a wet towel in the other, and his face was full of maternal brilliance.

"Auntie, congratulations!" Xu Dong nodded.

"Old Li told you?" Aunt Li smiled.

Section Chief Li stepped forward to take the towel, wiped his face indiscriminately, and raised his brows: "Why can't you say it, it's not a shameful thing."

"Okay, I can't tell you."

There are outsiders at home, and Aunt Li can't let go. If it was normal, she would have been lying in her husband's arms by now.

Dinner is ready. There are only four simple dishes and one soup. The four dishes are all vegetarian dishes. Only the soup has some shredded pork.

Aunt Li explained: "Xiao Xu, there was originally a steamed turbot, but when I smelled it, I felt like throwing up. I really couldn't do it. Please forgive me!"

"Oh, auntie, your body is the most important thing. Besides, the dishes on this table are already very good, much more abundant than ours." Xu Dong hurriedly said politely.

Aunt Li stayed with her for a while and went back to the room to rest. It seemed that the other party's morning sickness reaction was very serious.

Section Chief Li put down his chopsticks and sighed:

"Xiao Xu, you also saw that your Aunt Li is an older woman, and now she can't eat anything. It's really worrying."

Xu Dong quickly comforted him, and he knew that Section Chief Li couldn't invite him to dinner for no reason. It turned out to be for this.

Sure enough, Section Chief Li changed the subject and began to get into tonight's topic: "Xiao Xu, you have a lot of connections and a wide range of channels, can you help Uncle Li collect some nutritional supplements suitable for pregnant women?"

"Uncle Li..."

Xu Dongwei asked: "You know what the market is like now. There hasn't been meat in Panjiayuan for a long time, let alone other nutritional products."

"It's alright, you can try it anyway, whether it works or not, Uncle will thank you."

"Okay then, I'll help you find out during the weekend." Xu Dong pretended to be reluctant.

Section Chief Li's eyes lit up and he immediately waved his hand: "Don't stop the weekend, I'll give you two days off, I'll leave this to you."

"That's fine too."

Xu Dong agreed to take advantage of the situation, but he still had two days off, and he was happy to have two days off.
