Chapter 119: Going Abroad

Three days later, after lunch, Xu Dong came to Gao Yuemei's house with four barrels of milk powder. Read

Four barrels of milk powder can definitely last for half a year if you save them. With this buffer period, it should be enough for Gao Yuemei's family to make a choice.

As for the 1,200 kilograms of food, he took it home three days ago.

Gao Yuemei really trusts Xu Dong.

"Recently, milk powder is in short supply. I went to several places and only got four barrels." Xu Dong said embarrassedly.

Gao Yuemei quickly took the milk powder and said with satisfaction: "It's already very good. Thank you, Xiao Xu."

"You're welcome!" Xu Dong looked at the house in front of him and asked: "Sister Gao, how did you deal with your house?"

"Sold it during the Chinese New Year." Gao Yuemei seemed a little lonely. After all, it was the home where she had lived for most of her life.

"How much did you sell it for?"

"Houses are selling very well now. My house is 330,000 per square meter, and I sold it for a little over 30 million. My son's house is a little more expensive, and it sold for more than 50 million."

"Sister Gao, your family has really become billionaires now." Xu Dong joked.

Gao Yuemei carefully packed the milk powder and waved her hand, saying, "Now rich people all over the country are running to Yanjing. The money we have is not even worth an ant's leg."

Xu Dong helped carry a suitcase. It was so heavy that no one knew what was in it.

Half an hour later, all the luggage was loaded into the car, and finally Gao Yuemei's family of five, a total of five people, also got on the car.

Gao Yuemei sat in the back seat holding her grandson, and her son, a young man who looked to be 24 or 25 years old, sat in the passenger seat.

Gao Yuemei's home was more than an hour's drive from the airport. Bored on the way, Xu Dong chatted with this "prodigal son" Zhang.

"Xiao Zhang, did your family exchange dollars?" Xu Dong asked.

Since we are going abroad, Daxia's money is naturally useless, especially in this "turbulent times", the US dollar is becoming more and more popular.

Xiao Zhang nodded: "I have exchanged it and deposited it in the bank in the United States. Now the country does not restrict foreign exchange exchange, basically you can exchange as much as you want."

Daxia now has more than 2 trillion US dollars in foreign exchange. Now the world is in turmoil, such a large amount of foreign exchange is indeed a bit tricky.

"What is the exchange rate now?"

"It has fallen below five dollars. There are many people going abroad recently. There are long queues outside the bank every day." Xiao Zhang said regretfully.

If their family had immigrated last year, one US dollar could be exchanged for more than six Xia yuan at that time.

However, the housing prices at that time were not as exaggerated as they are now. There are pros and cons!

"By the way, Xiao Zhang, are you going to the East Coast or the West Coast?"

Xiao Zhang said proudly: "The West Coast is the famous Los Angeles, where there are more Daxia people."

"The City of Angels is indeed a good place." Xu Dong nodded.

"Brother Xu, don't you plan to go abroad?" Xiao Zhang asked proactively.

According to my mother, the man in front of me is a rich man. He doesn't go abroad. I don't know what he is thinking. Does he have to stay in China and suffer?

Xu Dong shook his head: "No, there are old and young people at home. I'd better stay in China for a stable life!"

"That's a pity."

"It's not a pity. Maybe life abroad is not as good as in China!"

Seriously speaking, in the next ten years, Daxia's living conditions will definitely be ranked in the top three in the world, definitely ahead of the United States.

The only thing that lags behind the United States is the security problem. A country that doesn't ban guns will have more troubles as time goes by.

"How is it possible? Brother Xu, don't be fooled by the news. They are developed countries with vast land and sparse population. They must have a better future than our country." Xiao Zhang retorted hurriedly.

"You are right. I didn't say developed countries. I said compared with other developing countries." Xu Dong didn't want to argue with the other party. It was meaningless.

"That makes sense." Xiao Zhang was satisfied.

"Xiao Zhang, what does your uncle do in the United States?" Xu Dong asked.

Speaking of uncle, Xiao Zhang admired him: "My uncle is the purchasing director of Wal-Mart, and his annual salary is over one million dollars!"

Xu Dong gave a thumbs up. No matter what, anyone who can earn one million dollars a year must be a talent, which is really amazing.

"Did your uncle take the initiative to invite you there?"

"Yes!" Xiao Zhang nodded, "My uncle has never had a child, and he has long wanted to pass on his property to our family. This time is just the right time."

"Your uncle is a really good person. After so many years, he still thinks about you relatives." Xu Dong praised.

"Indeed, from elementary school to college, I went to my uncle's place every summer vacation. The environment there is indeed much better than in China."

As they chatted, the car was blocked a few kilometers away from the airport.

They could only move forward at a snail's pace.

"What's going on in front?" Gao Yuemei asked.

Xu Dong turned around and said, "There's a traffic jam."

Xiao Zhang on the side started to curse, "There's a traffic jam at this time, why don't you just die!"

Their family spent more than two million yuan on air tickets alone. If they missed the flight, it would be a waste of money. How could they not be anxious!

Xu Dong glanced at his watch and immediately advised:

"Don't worry, it's only half past two, it's still early. If it doesn't work, the last section of the road is not long, we can just walk over."

"Alas, this is the only way."

It was four o'clock when the group finally arrived at the airport.

There were crowds of people outside the airport, and most of them were with their families. The crying of children made the whole airport look more chaotic than a vegetable market.

Because he couldn't find a place to park, Xu Dong could only send Gao Yuemei and her family to a nearby road.

"Xiao Xu, thank you."

"Sister Gao, I told you not to thank me. When you arrive in the United States, remember to report your safety in the group." Xu Dong reminded with a smile.

"Of course, you should go back quickly too. I have delayed you for the whole afternoon."

"Goodbye, Brother Xu!" Xiao Zhang waved his hand.

"Goodbye, I wish you a safe journey."

On the way back, someone wanted to hitchhike. Xu Dong saw that the other party was carrying two children, so he agreed.

"Brother, thank you so much."

"You're welcome. What are you doing?"

The man smiled bitterly and said, "Sending the child's mother abroad."

"To the United States as well?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"Yes, we just got divorced yesterday. Do you think it's really that good abroad? Why do you have to join in the fun?"

Xu Dong quickly comforted him: "Brother, believe me, your choice is right. Fortunately, you didn't let the two children go with you, otherwise you will definitely regret it."

"Hearing you say that, I feel much better. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Tian Along, and I work in the Railway Bureau."

Xu Dong freed his right hand to shake the other party, and then introduced himself: "Xu Dong, from the power company."
