My Courtyard Refuge

: Storm

At around nine o’clock in the morning, Xu Dong was bragging with a group of subordinates at the north gate, when Section Chief Li suddenly called.

“Xiao Xu, hurry up and take someone to the South Gate. There is something wrong on Qianmen Street.”

“Yes, Chief, I’ll be there right away.”

Xu Dong didn’t talk nonsense, except for one housekeeper, everyone else was taken away by him.

When they came to the south gate, they didn’t see Lao Jin, so Xu Dong asked a little bit, and immediately led the crowd eastward along Qianmen Street to find him.

After walking less than two hundred meters, he finally saw the real master, and Xu Dong hurried forward and asked:

“Old Jin, what’s the matter?”

When Lao Jin saw Xu Dong and others who came to support him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He pointed to the crowd not far away and introduced: “It’s not because of the food card. Some people think it’s unfair and wander around on the street!”

“How many people are there?” Xu Dong asked directly.

“I don’t know about other places. There are probably dozens of people here on Qianmen Street!” Lao Jin replied.

“Are there only a few dozen?” Xu Dong nodded, the number is still within the controllable range, “Who are the people here?”

Lao Jin smiled wryly and said, “They are all grandpas and aunts. If you say it’s a hot day, they won’t be afraid of heat stroke anymore.”

Hearing that they were just uncles and aunts, Xu Dong was completely relaxed now, what he was most afraid of was meeting those young people.

Young people are irritable and easily excitable.

“What does Director Du say?”

“I still sent someone to notify me in the morning, let’s maintain order and not act rashly for the time being.” Lao Jin replied.

“I see, Lao Jin, what are you going to do here?” Xu Dong asked further.

After all, this street is under the other party’s jurisdiction, so he can’t do it for him.

Lao Jin took out his water glass and took a sip of water, then replied:

“What else can I do? Let’s delay it for now. When it’s noon, I’ll see if they can hold on.”

“It’s a bit inappropriate to do this!”

“What do you mean?” Lao Jin showed displeasure on his face.

“I think we should make a plan in advance, lest something really go wrong and catch us off guard.”

“How to say?” Lao Jin suddenly became nervous.

Xu Dong took the opportunity to suggest:

“I want to go back and get some drinking water and umbrellas. In case someone really suffers from heatstroke, we can treat them in time so that we won’t be accused of dereliction of duty.”

Lao Jin was right when he thought about it, and immediately nodded in agreement and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to you, you young people are more thoughtful.”

“Then I’ll go back and make arrangements.”

Back at the company, Xu Dong first reported the situation to Section Chief Li, who immediately agreed to Xu Dong’s disposal plan.

After leaving the section chief’s office, Xu Dong informed the cafeteria to boil a large bucket of boiling water, and contributed all the tea leaves on his desk.

If you want to gain the trust of the grandparents, you have to spend some money.

Half an hour later, a group of people carried a bucket of tea and two awnings from the logistics department, and returned to Qianmen Street.

After all, Lao Jin was old, and he couldn’t hold it anymore. Seeing Xu Dong coming, he immediately handed over all the matters here to the other party, and hid under the awning to rest.

Xu Dong was also rushing the ducks to the shelves, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and temporarily take over the command.

It was almost ten o’clock in the morning, and the temperature soared to forty degrees.

Xu Dong looked at the uncles and aunts who were still insisting, and walked forward with a loudspeaker.

“Hey…”

“We have free drinking water here, come to me if you need it.” Xu Dong shouted to the crowd.

As soon as the words fell, the uncles and aunts quickly gathered around, and everyone asked in one go:

“Water, inwhere? ”

Xu Dong put away the loudspeaker and led a group of people to the awning:

“Don’t crowd, we have plenty of drinking water here, everyone line up first and come one by one.”

Soon, the first aunt who drank water said in surprise, “Hey, why is it tea?”

“This is the tea that our team leader brought out privately.” Xiang Xin said with a distressed expression on her face. Usually, the boss keeps a close eye on this tea, and it is not easy for her to manage the autumn wind.

“Tea to relieve the heat, everyone should drink more.” Xu Dong laughed.

===Section 65===

Everyone at the scene immediately became a sensation. Tea is now much more difficult to buy than cigarettes. Even the worst tea, the price will soon exceed 10,000 yuan a catty.

After drinking tea, it may be that the stomach is too full. The uncles and aunts did not go back to the street for a walk, but rested in the awning.

Xu Dong took the opportunity to chat with the uncles and aunts, to see if he could persuade everyone to go back.

“Young man, which sub-bureau are you from?” an aunt surnamed Li asked.

It was the first time he was called a young man after being reborn. Xu Dong was very happy and replied with a smile:

“I don’t belong to any sub-bureau. I belong to the nearby power company, but now we are also managed by the General Administration.”

“The power company? What a great company!” Aunt Li said with a satisfied face.

“So-so! Aunt Li, I think the food card system is pretty good and can guarantee fairness to the greatest extent. Why are you so opposed?” Xu Dong asked cautiously.

Maybe it was for the sake of the tea, maybe it was because the young man was pleasing to the eye, Aunt Li patiently explained:

“We are not against food cards, we are against big data.”

“What’s the meaning?”

“Hey, let me tell you this, we don’t believe in that big data.” Aunt Li said flatly.

“Why? Big data is a high technology, and it is very useful!”

Aunt Li waved her hand, “Anyway, I don’t believe it. Auntie thinks food stamps are better. You can get as many food stamps as there are people in your family. It’s clear and clear. No one dares to fool you.”

Now Xu Dong finally understands the crux of the matter, which is still a matter of concept in the final analysis.

“Aunt Li, you can’t do this. The food card is the general trend, and no one can stop it.” Xu Dong tried to persuade.

According to his observation, this Aunt Li should be the leader of this group of people, and her status is somewhat similar to Aunt Wang of the Champs Elysees family.

“Of course Auntie knows she can’t stop it.”

“Then you still?” Xu Dong was puzzled.

Aunt Li looked proud: “Young man, you are still too young, do you know that only children who can cry can eat sweets!”

Xu Dong felt that his three views were shattered. It turned out that he was on the second floor, but Aunt Li was already on the third floor.

“Aunt Li, what kind of candy are you talking about?” Xu Dong asked curiously.

Aunt Li looked at the person in front of her, but didn’t answer, as if she didn’t believe Xu Dong, especially the police uniform he was wearing.

Xu Dong was a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject: “Aunt Li, will you come over tomorrow?”

“It depends on the situation!” Aunt Li said.

“What’s the situation?” Xu Dong asked further.

“You don’t even understand.”

I wiped it, and I was despised.

Xu Dong felt very depressed, and at the same time could understand why grassroots work was so difficult.
