My courtyard shelter

After getting her food card and returning home, Yang Lina, who couldn't stand the heat, went to the vegetable garden to pick a watermelon, which weighed about ten pounds.

Xu's mother was surprised and said, "Is the watermelon ripe?"

"It's almost done, let's open one and see."

Because she had triplets, chilled watermelon was not suitable, so Yang Lina simply took a knife and cut it directly.

"Crack..."

Xu's mother came over and praised, "This melon looks good, and people who see it will have an appetite."

Yang Lina first cut a slice for her mother-in-law to let her taste whether it was sweet or not.

"Sweet!" Xu's mother said with satisfaction.

"Mom... I want seven too." Dabao looked at the watermelon eagerly, and his saliva was almost flowing down.

Yang Lina cut a small slice for each of the triplets, and finally cut a large piece for herself. After taking a bite, the heat disappeared.

"Mom, I want seven more." Maybe it was the first time to eat watermelon, Dabao fell in love with the taste at once.

"Be good, Dabao, eat it in the afternoon." Yang Lina comforted.

The children had no say, so Dabao could only watch helplessly as the watermelons were wrapped in plastic wrap and put into the refrigerator.

Next, Yang Lina went to the vegetable garden and picked two watermelons weighing about ten kilograms, intending to send them to Luyang. After all, as an elder, she couldn't break her promise in front of the younger generation.

After packing, Xu Ma came over with three air-dried chickens and a bag of dried seafood: "Send these too!"

Although Yang Lina felt a little uncomfortable, she still took it. As a mother of five children, she could understand her mother-in-law's approach.

When she arrived at the post office, Yang Lina chose the most expensive domestic express delivery. Although the price was high, it was not easy to lose items. In the current environment, it was much more reliable than private express delivery companies.

After sending the package, Yang Lina called Ma Lingling and sent the express number to her so that she could sign for it in time.

When she got home, Xu Ma had already prepared lunch.

At the same time, Xu Dong was also having lunch. As time went by, the food standards in the cafeteria were constantly decreasing.

By today, meat dishes had been cut off, and even vegetarian dishes were restricted. Fortunately, there was only one meal at noon, so Xu Dong could still tolerate it for the time being.

While eating and browsing his phone, someone suddenly sent him a private message in the WeChat group of the rotation training class.

Xu Dong clicked on it and saw that the person who sent the message was Zhao Jian, who used to live in the same dormitory. The other party was an employee of Xialiang Group, and Xu Dong had a good impression of this person.

Zhao Jian's message was very simple, asking Xu Dong if he had time and if so, he would call back.

Xu Dong directly made a voice call.

"Hello, Lao Xu, is that you?" Zhao Jian's voice came.

"It's me, do you have anything urgent to talk to me about?" Xu Dong got straight to the point.

"I really have something to talk to you about..."

The other party seemed a little embarrassed and spoke hesitantly, while Xu Dong was more direct.

"What's the matter, tell me quickly, what is our relationship, don't be fussy."

Although several months have passed, Xu Dong, as the group leader, often "shows up" in the group, and his relationship with group members has not declined but improved.

"Ahem!" Zhao Jian cleared his throat and said, "Old Xu, I'll be frank. I have a promotion opportunity..."

"This is a good thing!" Xu Dong interrupted.

Zhao Jian smiled bitterly:

"I know it's a good thing, but this opportunity is not safe. I want to use my connections, but I can't get anything good, so I can only ask you shamelessly."

Xu Dong thought for a while before speaking carefully:

"I can get some cigarettes and alcohol, but I can only wait and see for the rest."

Zhao Jian was overjoyed and begged: "I have enough alcohol here, can you help me get more cigarettes? I'm willing to pay a high price."

"How many do you want? I'll try."

"Can you get five? As long as the cigarettes are not too bad." Zhao Jian replied immediately.

"Five should be no problem. When do you want them?" Xu Dong asked.

Zhao Jian asked tentatively, "Is tomorrow morning okay?"

"Sure, then come to our company tomorrow morning to find me, and I'll give you the cigarettes then." Xu Dong said simply.

"Old Xu, you've helped me a lot, thank you so much."

"I've already said it, you're welcome." Xu Dong said politely.

Zhao Jian said solemnly, "Okay, Old Xu, I'll remember this favor."

"Ah, is there anything else? I'm having dinner here, I'll hang up now."

"Then I won't bother you, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow!"

...

After get off work, Xu Dong didn't go to Panjiayuan, but went home directly.

There's nothing good in Panjiayuan recently, not to mention meat, even food is much less, he plans to go back and have a look after a while.

The next morning, Xu Dong took five packs of Fuxing cigarettes from the warehouse and moved four boxes of yogurt, which were about to expire and needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Not long after arriving at the company, Xu Dong soon received a call from Zhao Jian, and the two sides agreed to meet in the parking lot of the power company.

"Old Zhao, this way."

Zhao Jian drove over, and Xu Dong found that the other party was also in police uniform.

The two sides talked about the past, and then Xu Dong moved five cigarettes and four boxes of milk to the other party's car.

Zhao Jian looked at the four boxes of yogurt and asked in surprise: "Old Xu, what are you doing?"

"I just happened to come across four boxes of yogurt, so I just brought them all over for you. Don't worry, they are still one or two months away from the expiration date!" Xu Dong explained.

"How can I be so embarrassed?" Zhao Jian was touched. "Old Xu, you should take the yogurt back. I remember that you have many children and they need it."

Xu Dong waved his hand and said, "Yogurt has no nutrition. It doesn't matter whether you drink it or not. Don't be polite."

What a joke. Xu Ma and Yang Lina strictly forbid the children to drink these expired yogurts. If they can't be processed, it will only benefit Mark in the end.

"What can I say to you!"

"Okay, transfer the money to me quickly. I have to go back to work!" Xu Dong deliberately interrupted.

In the end, Zhao Jian transferred a total of 21,500 yuan to Xu Dong, 3,500 yuan per pack of Fuxing cigarettes, and Xu Dong gave a preferential price of 1,000 yuan per box of yogurt because it was about to expire.

"Old Xu, I will treat you to a meal later. Don't refuse."

After getting the cigarettes and having an unexpected surprise, Zhao Jian looked much more relaxed.

"No problem, just drink your promotion wine." Xu Dong smiled.

"Not sure yet!" Zhao Jian said modestly. In fact, even if he didn't give gifts, he was 60% sure.

"You are too modest, aren't you? Don't I know you, Old Zhao? You are the most stable person in our dormitory. If you were not sure, would you be so concerned? There will definitely be no problem this time." Xu Dong teased.

Zhao Jian could only bow his hands: "Then I will borrow your good words."

After seeing Zhao Jian off, Xu Dong went to the north gate.

With the implementation of the grain card system in the past two days, the public security problem has suddenly worsened a lot. As the captain, he needs to set an example.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain if something goes wrong.
