"There is also this donkey-hide gelatin, which is said to be the best for beautifying the skin. Mom, you can also try it.

��

"Try the bird's nest first, and wait for a while before eating the donkey-hide gelatin to avoid odor contamination." Xu Ma refused directly.

Yang Lina tried her best to hold back her laughter. What her mother-in-law said was too funny.

Xu Dong couldn't say anything, so he could only continue to introduce: "Dad, don't you have a backache? Deer antler is best for supplementing in winter. It is said to be very effective. You ask dad to keep soaking it in water every day."

"Does deer antler have such a big effect?"

Xu's mother expressed doubts that her husband had tried various "secret recipes", but the effect was really limited.

"There's no harm in giving it a try. Besides, deer antler is so expensive, so there must be a reason for it." Xu Dong advised.

Xu Ma thought it made sense, so she kept it in mind.

Finally, there is a box of cod liver oil, which is for Coco and Lele.

Since the days have become hotter, and to prevent radiation from outer space, children's outdoor activities have dropped sharply, resulting in vitamin D deficiency being very common.

However, there are very few natural foods containing vitamin D. Cod liver oil is a good food source of vitamin D.

In two or three years, the country will fully popularize cod liver oil in schools, somewhat similar to the previous milk for students.

Xu Dong just moved the time forward.

…

Another day passed, and the time came to January 7th, and we finally made it to the weekend.

The cold wave is still continuing and getting more severe. Even in Yanjing, the temperature is more than ten degrees below zero even at noon.

But fortunately, I don’t have to go to work anymore, so I can hide at home during the “cat winter”.

This morning, Lao Xu's house was quiet. The whole family was sleeping in, including Xu's father and Xu's mother.

Changming Company is also on holiday this weekend, and Xu’s father has no choice but to do it because the logistics can’t keep up.

Because of the big cold wave, railway systems across the country are frantically transporting coal and various disaster relief supplies to the south.

In addition, high-speed rail has also been suspended in large areas due to lack of power.

As for road transportation, the situation is also not optimistic. Almost all logistics companies have been urgently requisitioned, and everything is prioritized to deliver relief supplies.

Many of Changming Company's goods are stuck in logistics centers around the world.

Xu Ma wanted to make breakfast, but after asking again, no one wanted to get up.

The triplets only need to soak in some milk powder, which can be ignored; the Coco sisters are very satisfied with the snacks and just throw away two bags of potato chips;

Xu Dong and his wife didn't want to eat breakfast at all. They just wanted to lie in bed; even Xu's father used the excuse of back pain and wanted to sleep a little longer.

Whether she likes to eat or not, Xu Ma was so angry that she just gave up her pick.

At 10:30 in the morning, Xu Dong and his wife finally woke up, but they did not get up. Instead, they leaned on the bedside and watched TV.

"Since January 3, 27 states, autonomous regions, and municipalities across the country have suffered a cold wave disaster that is rare since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The supply of coal, electricity, and oil in various places has been in short supply, which has caused a direct economic loss of approximately 200 billion yuan."

"On the 6th of this month, reporters learned from the Wanzhou Civil Affairs Department that due to the rare cold wave, extreme low temperature disasters occurred in Huaizuo City and other areas. According to the latest statistics, more than 8 million people have been affected."

Seeing this, Yang Lina couldn't help but sigh:

"It's so miserable back home. It's such a cold weather, there's a power outage, and there's no heating. I don't know how to survive."

Xu Dong hugged his wife and immediately comforted her: "Don't worry, you will be fine. I estimate that this cold wave will end in a few days."

In his previous life, this cold wave lasted for nine days in total. Xu Dong remembered it clearly because every day was torture for his family.

"Husband, why don't we donate some money?"

Yang Lina suggested that since her family became rich, her heart has softened a lot, especially because she doesn't want to see her children suffer.

If it was the past two years, let alone the cold wave, even if there was a major earthquake, she would still have nothing.

Xu Dong nodded, took his mobile phone from the bed cabinet, opened the "Penguin Charity" mini program on WeChat, and directly donated 100,000 yuan.

I also sent a screenshot of the donation page to the family group.

The next moment, Yang Lina exclaimed: "Husband, did you press an extra zero?"

"No, isn't it just 100,000 yuan? Your husband is not a primary school student, how could he press the wrong number?"

"Isn't this too much?"

Yang Lina said distressedly that she originally thought that a donation of several thousand yuan would be enough, but she never expected that her husband would be so generous.

"Okay, I've donated everything, and it's too late to regret it. Besides, our family doesn't need this little money, so we should treat it as a blessing for our children." Xu Dong advised with a smile.

It's not that his mother's heart burst out, it's mainly that he has experienced it in his previous life and can empathize with it.

Yang Lina felt so panicked that she simply turned her back and went to see Dabao and the others.

At eleven o'clock, Xu Dong finally got up amid Xu Ma's urging.

After lunch, Xu Dong drove out. He wanted to personally deliver the prepared milk powder to Director Cao, who was still urging him just now.

Against the wind and sand, Xu Dong controlled the speed of the car very slowly, and it took him an hour to reach Director Cao's home.

Since it was his first visit, he also brought a small gift, four bottles of strawberry jam, palm-sized bottles, one bottle can last for about three or four days.

"Xiao Xu, you are serious. You came as soon as you came. What gifts did you bring?" Director Cao's wife looked very kind.

Xu Dong took the teacup and introduced smoothly: "The strawberry jam is made by my wife. The children at home like to eat it. It is very appetizing. Auntie, you should try it too."

"Okay, okay, I just haven't had a good appetite lately, so this gift from you is so timely."

Aunt Cao said a few polite words and left.

"Xiao Xu, where are the things? Take them out and let me take a look." Director Cao said directly.

Xu Dong directly moved a box of baby milk powder this time, with a total of six cans. This was the most he had ever shipped.

Director Cao looked very happy to see the milk powder.

He's been driven crazy by his nanny these past two days, and he doesn't know how his old classmates got the news, so that now they all come to him to beg for favors.

Many people even put down their gifts and ran away, unable to catch up, including some relatives of big leaders.

Seeing that the other party was in a good mood, Xu Dong took the opportunity to explain:

"Uncle Cao, there are only so many before the Chinese New Year. The next batch will probably have to wait until February."

Shipping too frequently is not good either.

Not only is the secret easily exposed, but it also feeds the other person's appetite.

Director Cao frowned unconsciously, but soon relaxed.

Speaking of which, Xiao Xu had already delivered ten cans of milk powder, which was far beyond his expectations. Any more would probably be unrealistic.

"Okay, let's wait until next month."

When Xu Dong saw that Director Cao agreed, he finally felt relieved. He was most afraid of meeting someone who would not reason with you because of his status.

Or simply rely on old age to show off one's abilities.
