My courtyard shelter

Unconsciously, time has come to the end of November. Reading

In the whole month of November, several major events happened internationally.

The first major event.

Under the advocacy of the other side of the ocean, including Daxia, the European Union, Britain and the bear, the five parties held a G5 summit in Brussels.

At the meeting, the parties discussed many political, economic and military issues. The most important achievement was that the five parties signed a large number of patent exchange and technology sharing agreements.

The second thing is that the EU has carried out emergency expansion and absorbed some Filipino and Middle Eastern countries to make up for its huge shortcomings in energy issues.

The third thing is that many countries in the Philippines are in civil strife and the situation is getting worse.

The fourth thing is that the prices of energy such as oil, coal and natural gas have suddenly soared after experiencing a low point for more than half a year, and the prices have returned to the peak a few years ago.

...

Early in the morning, Xu Dong was feeding chickens again.

Chicken feed is the small fish heads left over from before. The fish heads are chopped up and mixed with the leftovers. The hens lay eggs more diligently.

Now two or three more eggs can be picked up every day.

In the vegetable garden, Yang Lina is watering. Recently, the number of days without water has increased. The daily water supply is seriously insufficient, and even the automatic irrigation has stopped.

However, there is good news. Next month, the seawater desalination plant in Tianjin will be able to supply water to the capital, and the water crisis at that time will be solved.

"Old three, where are you?" Xu Ma's voice came.

Xu Dong sighed resignedly. He really wanted to rest for a while. He quickly stood up and responded: "Mom, I'm in the living room. What's the matter?"

"Accompany mom to the grain store. Our family's rations for this month haven't been bought back yet?" Xu Ma ordered.

Since they didn't lack food at home, Xu's mother and Yang Lina got impatient after queuing at the grain store once. The key was that it took too much time, so they delayed buying food until the end of the month.

There were few people at the end of the month, and except for some people who came out to buy vegetables, they could buy food almost as they came.

Of course, the grain inventory at the end of the month might not be sufficient, and most of the grains that could be bought were coarse grains such as corn and potatoes.

Fortunately, the old Xu family had so much rice that they couldn't finish it, so they didn't lack these at all.

After starting the car, the mother and son came to the nearest grain store. There was a plaque hanging on the right side of the store entrance, which read:

[Food Sales Point, Xingfuli Street, Dongcheng District]

After waiting at the door for a while, at eight o'clock, the grain store opened on time.

The grain stores in the capital are large and small, but the layout of the store is basically the same, similar to ordinary banks, with a row of service windows at the entrance.

Mother Xu trotted to a window, handed over two food cards, and said casually: "Take out all this month's food."

The counter staff was a young girl who looked like she had just graduated. As a young person, she was quite serious about her work.

"This one belongs to Xu Dong, and there are 24 kilograms of potatoes, 20 kilograms of corn flour, 30 kilograms of hybrid rice and 22 kilograms of vegetables in the account, but the hybrid rice is out of stock now."

"Then change all of them to corn flour for me!" Mother Xu had expected this situation a long time ago.

"Okay, according to the conversion ratio of 1:3, the total is 59 kilograms of corn flour, 24 kilograms of potatoes, and 22 kilograms of vegetables."

"Yes, take them all out." Xu Dong nodded immediately.

As for Mother Xu, she was still using the small notebook she carried with her to calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division!

"Okay, you need to pay a total of 1,028 yuan."

At the same time, the staff handed over a receipt:

"If there is no problem, please sign here."

Xu Dong had already seen the price list at the door. The unit price of corn was 8 yuan, and potatoes and vegetables were 10 yuan each. The amount was correct.

After signing, scan the code to pay.

Within a few minutes, Xu Dong got a month's ration for his family of seven from the pick-up port under the counter.

Among them, vegetables were randomly distributed. His family received cabbage and carrots, which added up to exactly 22 kilograms.

Then, the staff swiped another card:

"Householder Xu Changming, there are 20 kilograms of rice, 14 kilograms of flour, 10 kilograms of vegetables, and 10 kilograms of potatoes. Do you want to change the rice to corn flour as well?"

"Change!" Xu's mother nodded.

After returning home, Xu's mother weighed it again with the electronic scale at home to check if there was any shortage of weight.

Xu Dong smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, grain stores are all state-owned, not private, and they have to weigh twice, so there won't be any mistakes."

"If you don't weigh it, Mom will be worried." Xu's mother said stubbornly.

"Okay!"

Before leaving, Xu Dong asked casually, "I'm going to work, do you want to bring anything today?"

Xu's mother thought for a while and replied, "Buy more salt, the salt at home is not enough."

The salt at home was originally enough for a few months, but a lot of it was used up in making salted fish, and it was almost gone.

"Got it."

When he arrived at the power company, Xu Dong found that Section Chief Li came very early today, and he looked very proud. Everyone was wondering if the old leader was going to be promoted.

"Sister Gao, is Uncle Li really going to be promoted?"

Xu Dong took the initiative to ask.

Section Chief Li was usually very nice to him, and he really didn't want him to leave. Others would not be as easy to talk to as Uncle Li.

As for the position of section chief, it would never be his turn anyway, after all, he had been in the company for less than a year and his qualifications were too shallow.

Gao Yuemei shook her head: "Even if Lao Li is promoted, it should be promoted to the logistics department. I haven't heard that anyone in the logistics department is going to be transferred?"

"Will he be transferred to a branch company?" Xiang Xin interrupted.

Yanjing City Power Company, although the headquarters here is not very eye-catching, in fact, its scale is not small at all.

The whole company has more than 10,000 people, and there are dozens of branches and directly affiliated institutions.

"This is really possible." Gao Yuemei nodded.

Xiang Xin suddenly said in surprise: "Boss, Uncle Li is gone, will you let you take over?"

Before Xu Dong could answer, he was called into the office by Section Chief Li.

"Uncle Li, congratulations on your promotion!"

Section Chief Li was obviously stunned and asked in confusion: "What promotion? Where did you hear the rumor?"

"Why, Uncle Li, you didn't get promoted?" Xu Dong said embarrassedly.

"I'm old, even if I get promoted, it won't be my turn." Section Chief Li sighed. He is 55 years old this year and will retire in a few years.

"This... Everyone saw you smiling this morning, and they all said you were going to get a promotion!"

Section Chief Li waved his hand: "No, go out and explain it to me later, so that people won't spread rumors."

Xu Dong nodded.

Section Chief Li took a sip of water and spoke again: "I asked you to come in because I wanted to ask if you have time in the evening?"

"Yes, Uncle Li, you..."

"That's perfect, come home with me after get off work and have dinner." Section Chief Li invited.

"Uncle Li, do you have anything to do here? Just tell me, there's no need for us to be so polite."

"Okay, that's it, you can go back to work!" Section Chief Li waved his hand.
