My courtyard shelter

Chapter 397: Visiting one by one

"I still have to thank you for my mother's affairs!"

"I didn't help much either..."

Xu Dong waved his hand: "How can I not know if you can help me? Don't refuse, just accept it with peace of mind!"

Lao Qin looked touched, stretched out his hand and shook Xu Dong tightly, and finally paid an extra 90,000 yuan.

Money really doesn't matter. As long as he is willing to sell the extra sugar, he can at least make more than double the profit.

This time the favor was greatly owed!

Then several groups of people came one after another.

Soon it was noon, Xu Dong did not go home for dinner, but drank tea and ate a loaf of bread.

The first person in the afternoon was Wang Lixin.

It was the person who sold bluefin tuna before. He was far away in Tangshan, so I had to come alone.

"Old Wang, why have you lost weight?"

Wang Lixin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You really think I can eat meat every day!"

"Isn't your steel plant close to the sea? No matter what, it's better than ours inland, right?"

"It won't work." Wang Lixin said in a solemn voice, "Nowadays, let alone fish on the beach, you can't even pick up a piece of seaweed. If the factory hadn't secretly set up a kelp farm, the workers would have been hungry a long time ago."

Xu Dong said angrily: "Don't cry poverty to me. You can still have enough to eat over there, which is much better than most other places in the country."

"That's true, hehe..."

Xu Dong took out ten kilograms of packed sugar from the carriage and handed it directly to the other party:

"This is your sugar, ten pounds in total."

Wang Lixin took it carefully, then immediately opened the bag, dipped some sugar in his little finger and put it into his mouth, with a smile on his old face.

"So sweet!"

"This is sugar, can it be sweeter?"

Wang Lixin put away the sugar and came over with a flattering look on his face: "Old Xu, can I buy more?"

"Everyone else has asked this question and my answer is the same, no."

Xu Dong shook his head.

"What's the relationship between the two of us? Can we be accommodating?"

"The total quantity is so much. If you buy more, others will have less. I can't break my promise, right? Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Wang Lixin was immediately full of expectations.

"Unless you exchange it for something, the tuna like last time was very good. I can help you get it."

Half of the tuna at home has been eaten. It would be great if I could stock up on another batch.

As for the misfortune of the other party just now, he didn't believe a word of it. The sea is so big, no matter how hard humans fish, there will always be fish that slip through the net.

"Brother, why don't you call me brother? Our factory really has no fish." Wang Lixin sighed.

Xu Dong spread his hands: "Then there's nothing I can do to help!"

"Can I exchange it for kelp?"

Wang Lixin probed.

"No, people don't lack kelp, they just lack all kinds of meat." Xu Dong replied.

Kelp is a low-fat, low-carbohydrate food. It is fine for cooking, but it is absolutely impossible to use it as a staple food.

Wang Lixin could only return disappointed.

Xu Dong was also disappointed.

…

The transaction process went smoothly, and at ten o'clock the next morning, Xu Dong finally sent away the last group of friends.

At this point, this round of benefits has almost been distributed, with only the last eighteen people left.

This last group of friends is very special because they are no longer alive. Some died in the line of duty, some died of illness, and some died of sudden accidents.

No matter what, they should not be forgotten.

Driving a minivan, Xu Dong picked up a group friend in his early fifties at the gate of a certain community.

This veteran has worked in the police for more than thirty years. He currently serves in the General Bureau and is currently the highest-ranking member of the group.

The reason why Xu Dong asked the other party to "come out" was, firstly, to find someone to "pacify the situation" to prevent anyone from gossiping; secondly, he could not get the detailed home addresses of these people.

The information was sensitive and he didn't want to get into trouble.

"Director Li, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

Director Li got directly into the co-pilot and said, "This is no big deal. You can find out your address with just a little inquiry."

"I don't have that much ability."

"Chief Xu, don't belittle yourself. You can get so much sugar and the shrimps from before. Everyone admires your ability."

"You should always call me Xiao Xu. Section Chief Xu sounds too foreign." Xu Dong said modestly.

Director Li nodded: "Don't call me Director Li. Call me Uncle Li. It sounds friendly."

"Okay, Uncle Li."

"Xiao Xu, has the sugar been given out?" Director Li asked casually.

"It has just been distributed and everyone should be able to get it in the next two days."

Xu Dong nodded and handed Director Li a cigarette.

Director Li took the cigarette and looked at it carefully.

"The Fuxing brand, it smokes so well!"

"If you like it, I'll give you one later, just as compensation for taking up your rest time."

Director Li quickly waved his hand and returned the cigarette: "No, I finally quit smoking. Please don't harm me and make me fail."

"Hey, not smoking is better for your health."

"You think I don't want to smoke? After all, it's not that I can't afford it. A pack of cigarettes can equal my day's salary."

While chatting like this, the first one arrived.

After the two entered the community, Director Li pointed to a residential building in front of him and said:

"Their family is on the fifth floor. The Bi family is in a difficult situation. There are two daughters and one son in the family, all of whom are not yet adults. Relying on that little pension, their life must be unhappy."

"With these ten kilograms of sugar, it should be better!" Xu Dong comforted.

"It will definitely be fine this year, but it's hard to say next year."

"At worst, I will do another wave of benefits next year."

Director Li was surprised: "Really? Don't fool me, an old man."

"Just wait and see!"

"That's great. If you can come here once a year, everyone's life will be much better." Director Li said with anticipation.

"I'll try my best!" Xu Dong didn't finish his words.

"Oh, no more talking, let's go upstairs quickly and try to finish all the running today."

"Okay."

In less than five minutes, the two of them went up to the fifth floor.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

"Kacha... Who are you looking for?"

The person who opened the door was a junior high school student in a T-shirt. Xu Dong and Director Li were both in police uniforms, so the little girl was not very nervous.

"Excuse me, is this Bi Xian's home?"

The little girl nodded and said with a lonely face:

"Are you here to see my father? My father has passed away."

"We are your father's colleagues. Is your mother at home?" Xu Dong asked.

"At home, come in!" The little girl made way and invited the two into the house, "Mom, there are guests at home."

Today is Sunday, and Bi's wife happened to be at home.

"Who are you? Who are you?"

"We are Bi Xian's old colleagues. We heard that he passed away, so we came to visit him."

Director Li replied.

"Please take a seat. The house is a little messy. Don't mind!"

When Bi's wife heard that it was her husband's colleague, she quickly asked the two to sit down.
