My courtyard shelter

It's the weekend in a blink of an eye.

Gu Haiyuan's case was completely settled. As expected, it was treated as an ordinary incident of accidental injury.

Early in the morning, Xu Dong took the children for a run in the yard. Since returning from Porcelain Capital, under his leadership, the children's exercise volume has obviously increased a lot.

"Dad, I can't run anymore."

Lele put her hands on her hips and breathed heavily.

"Come on, run another twenty laps, and each person will receive an extra ten yuan as pocket money." Xu Dong said temptingly.

Lele grabbed the hem of Ma Xu's clothes and prepared to let her cousin take her away, which would make it easier.

Erbao has sharp eyes and immediately reports to the guide:

"Dad, the second sister cheated."

Xu Dong took a look and couldn't dampen his youngest daughter's enthusiasm, so he had to agree: "Here, dad, helping each other is allowed."

Several children looked at their cousin at the same time.

Ma Xu was so frightened that he threw away his arms and started running, always running at the front of the team.

Lele couldn't keep up for a while, so she had to stamp her feet bitterly, but she couldn't bear to part with the ten yuan, so she had to grit her teeth and hang at the back of the team.

Yang Lina is very strict about her children's pocket money. Apart from housework and New Year's money, there are almost no other ways to get pocket money.

The twins could pass the exam and get rewards, but unfortunately they were getting worse and worse and never ranked among the top twenty in the class.

After the run, Yang Lina brought a pot of watermelon juice. The watermelon juice was freshly squeezed and added with two spoons of honey, which was particularly thirst-quenching.

"It tastes so good, I want more, Mom." Dabao said, holding up the empty cup.

Yang Lina refused: "One cup is enough. If you drink too much, you will easily gain weight. If you continue to gain weight, your classmates will call you Fatty."

"Haha, Dabao is a little fat guy."

Lele clapped her little hands and started cheering, while Keke also covered her mouth and snickered.

Dabao immediately became anxious: "Mom is lying, I'm not a fat man."

"Brother is not a fat guy."

"Second sister is the chubby girl!"

As natural allies, Erbao and Xiaobao naturally sided with the elder brother.

Xu Ma waved to her eldest grandson:

"Dabao, come to grandma."

The little guy threw himself into Ma Xu's arms with a cry:

"Grandma, I'm not a fat guy."

Xu Ma wiped her eldest grandson's tears and said without hesitation: "How can our Dabao be a little fat man? Dabao is a little man."

"Grandma, I am also a little man."

"And I."

Xu Ma touched the heads of the three brothers one by one, then called Keke and Lele to the front, and began to talk about the past and present.

The children listened with great interest.

…

Xu Dong went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then drove out in the minivan.

The sugar was packed last night.

Arriving at the old place, the underground parking lot of a brother's unit, someone came over quickly, ten minutes earlier than the agreed time. It seemed that everyone was very impatient.

"Old Xu, long time no see."

The visitor was Lao Zhu from Daxia Shipbuilding Industry Group, and he was an old acquaintance. The two of them had lived in the same dormitory.

"It's been almost a year." Xu Dong handed over a cigarette, "How is your work lately?"

"It's okay. Our shipyard has basically not stopped work in the past two years. Orders have been scheduled for three years. I can't take a break even if I want to."

"Are there so many ships to be built?"

Xu Dong expressed doubts. Now that international trade has shrunk by more than 80%, he really can't think of the use of building so many ships.

Fishing?

Almost all the fish in the sea have been caught.

Lao Zhu took a deep breath from his cigarette: "We mainly build water carriers. Now the revenue of water carriers is no less than that of oil tankers, and people all over the world are grabbing them."

"Isn't it possible to remodel it with an ordinary merchant ship?"

"Definitely not." Lao Zhu shook his head. "In the Antarctic and Arctic regions, the surrounding seas are densely covered with icebergs. Coupled with the changeable climate, it is almost impossible for ordinary cargo ships to move. We must use icebreaker-level ships."

"I have learned a lot. Since there are so many icebergs, why not just drag them back?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"First, the distance is too far, and they will all melt before they can be towed back; second, many of these icebergs are sea ice, and even if they are brought back, they will not be of much value."

Lao Zhu explained.

"So that's what happened!" Xu Dong nodded.

Lao Zhu finally concluded: "After a comprehensive comparison, building water transport ships is the most reliable and the most efficient."

"That's wrong!" Xu Dong suddenly reacted, "With the current climate, the glaciers in the North and South Pole are estimated to be gone in a few years. By then, won't these ships be built in vain?"

"Old Xu, do you know a lot?" Old Zhu said unexpectedly.

Xu Dong waved his hand: "I also read the news."

"The situation you mentioned does exist. In two or three years, the glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic are expected to disappear.

But you don’t have to worry too much. Our country has occupied many natural lakes in the Arctic and Antarctic and built many reservoirs. It should be able to support it for a few more years. "

"I didn't expect it to happen like this!"

Xu Dong sighed sincerely.

"Stop talking about this, where is my sugar?"

Xu Dong patted the car door: "There are a total of nineteen of you in the carriage. I will give you two bags, totaling two hundred kilograms. The extra ten kilograms will be subsidized by me privately."

"Old Xu, you are quite interesting, thank you."

"Why are you being polite to me?"

The reason why Xu Dong was so generous was purely because they were roommates, and ten kilograms of sugar was not much, so he was too lazy to do it.

In the end, Lao Zhu left 570,000 yuan in cash and transferred 30,000 yuan with his mobile phone.

Not long after Lao Zhu left, someone else came over soon. This time it was Lao Qin, who helped deal with Xu Ma's accident last time.

Xu Dong sent a message specifically, hoping that the other party could come as a representative. He had no other intentions, just wanted to take the opportunity to express his gratitude.

Because of the epidemic, I wanted to send some gifts but never had the chance, and later I even forgot about it. This time I finally remembered it.

"Lao Xu, how is Auntie's leg?"

As usual, Xu Dong handed the other party a cigarette, but he didn't smoke it this time.

"The doctor said it will take some time, and I should be able to go out next month."

"Old people recover slowly, so it's right to be cautious."

"If I hadn't persuaded her, my mother would have planned to go out this month." Xu Dong smiled bitterly.

Xu's mother is impatient. She has been at home for many months and can't hold it any longer. Xu Dong persuaded her and finally extended the time to August.

But there are only a few days left.

"It's better to pay more attention!"

"You are right!" Xu Dong nodded, "Okay, let's do the deal as soon as possible. There are 37 people in your group. I will move four bags of sugar for you, a total of 400 kilograms."

"Old Xu, it's too much..." Old Qin reminded hurriedly.

"It's not much. The extra 30 kilograms are my private gift to you. If you feel embarrassed to take it, you can pay the original price."

"Old Xu, I don't know what to say now!"

Faced with the big pie that fell from the sky, Old Qin really didn't have the courage to refuse.
