My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 269 Hello, 2024
After returning to the company, Xu Dong immediately started distributing bread, and Lao Fang stood beside him and was responsible for recording, two hundred catties of grain, which is not a small amount.

Sister Feng was the first to come forward: "Xiao Xu, how long is the shelf life of this bread?"

"One month is definitely fine." Xu Dong replied with a smile.

The weather is dry right now, and it is winter at this time, so the shelf life of one month is not an exaggeration.

"So long? Then give me forty!"

Sister Feng waved her hand proudly. Although their family still has hundreds of catties of rice, they usually eat mixed grain rice, and it is rare to eat rice once a week.

There is no other reason, it is simply reluctance, one catty of hybrid rice can be exchanged for two or three catties of miscellaneous grains!
"Old Feng, what are you doing with so much? Just buy a three-day supply. If you want it later, let's just buy it again. It's very convenient." Lao Fang persuaded.

Sister Feng waved her hand: "I want to send some to my boss. Their family has a large population, and life has not been easy."

"Hey, whose life is better?" Uncle Chen sighed.

Xu Dong gave Sister Feng 40 loaves of bread, and then looked at Uncle Chen: "Old Chen, how much do you want?"

"Just give me 20 pieces. The juniors are not at home. These are enough to feed me for a few days."

"Okay, here you are." Xu Dong packed the bread into a bag and handed it to the other party.

In the next 10 minutes, colleagues from the security department took away a total of 220 loaves of bread, of which Section Chief Li also took 10 loaves, and their family members had even fewer.

10 minutes before get off work, Xu Dong came to the North Gate with the remaining bread, which is his base camp.

"Boss, you are here!" A group of people had just returned from patrolling.

Xu Dong pointed to the back seat of the car and said: "I bought the bread, and there are 180 loaves left. Take it back and divide it among yourself. Just give me the food before the weekend."

"Thank you, boss." Datou and the others quickly moved the bread out of the car.

"Okay, after the handover, go back and rest quickly, don't be late tomorrow morning."

"Yes, boss, you should drive slowly on the road."

Xu Dong nodded, and then drove the car directly out of the north gate. Since the last overtime work ended, he transferred Datou and Xiaoxiao to the night shift, so that he didn't have to send them home again.

After all, the patrolling task at night is heavy, and the big head is the small head of the North Gate, and he can't do without him; in addition, the elementary school is closed, and Xiao Xiao has to take care of the children during the day, so he can only work in the evening shift.

Under normal circumstances, the two of them would come to work before eight o'clock. It would be too late and unsafe, and they would not be able to take the bus.

It took an hour on the way home. Recently, the smoke and dust over Yanjing has become more serious, and the visibility has become extremely poor. He dare not drive fast.

When I got home, I showered and went to bed.

Recently, Xu Dong gave up the habit of eating late at night, not for other reasons, but for fear of gaining weight. After all, middle age is the time when people are most likely to gain weight.

Originally, he didn't care about his figure, but it was obvious to the naked eye that everyone around him had lost weight. If he was the only one who gained weight, he would be more or less high-profile, and a high profile would mean trouble.

As I said before, he is the person who is most afraid of trouble.

……

Two days passed quickly.

The time comes to January 2024, 1, New Year's Day.

This year is Xu Dong's fourth year after his rebirth, and such a long time has passed without him noticing, which makes him feel as if he has passed away.

Overall, he is quite satisfied with his current life. The whole family is in good health and has no worries about food and drink. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?
Especially Xiaobao, who made up for the huge regrets of his previous life.

On New Year's Day, although the power company did not provide benefits or have a holiday, it temporarily resumed normal off-duty hours, which is a kind of consolation!

After get off work, Xu Dong didn't go home immediately, but went to Panjiayuan. He hadn't been there for more than a month. He wanted to check out his small shop.

By the way, let's go to the street stall area. Today is New Year's Day, so there may be unexpected gains.

I opened the door of the store with a key, and first checked the storage status of the dried shrimp. Fortunately, there was no mildew or traces of rodents.

Just as he was about to leave, a guest came to the door just after opening the door for a while.

"Boss, what does your house sell?"

Xu Dong shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't sell anything here, aunt, you should go to other places to have a look!"

"Wait, what's in your bag, can you let me see?"

"If you don't sell it, you won't sell it. I'm going to lock the door." After Xu Dong finished speaking, he pulled down the shutter.

There was no other way, the aunt could only leave angrily.

After tidying up briefly, Xu Dong went straight to the street stall area. There are no good things to buy in other areas, and even if there are, they will not be put on the table, and the transaction has been completed privately.

The stall area is still as lively as ever.

It's a pity that I didn't get anything after walking around. On the contrary, before leaving, I bought some fresh mushrooms at the gate, less than ten catties, and exchanged Xu Dong's ten catties of corn flour.

Although mushrooms are delicious, they are not very hungry. Currently, they are almost the same price as Chinese cabbage.

When I got home, Mama Xu had just come back from the grain store, and Xu Dong hurried forward to help unload the goods. Hey, the food was still the same, but there were a lot more vegetables, a small pile piled up on the back seat of the old scooter.

There are four types, namely green peppers, leeks, Chinese cabbage and tomatoes.

"Mom, why are there so many vegetables this month?"

"Well, some time ago, the planting factory in the eastern suburbs was put into operation. It seems to be specially used for growing vegetables. From this month on, there will be no shortage of vegetables here."

"So good?" Xu Dong asked in surprise.

In Luyang in his previous life, vegetables were always more scarce than food, but when he arrived in Yanjing, the situation changed instead.

"What's so surprising? Look at this leek, which looks like a wheat seedling. I heard from your Aunt Wang that the yield per mu can reach tens of thousands of catties, which is even higher than that of sweet potatoes!" Madam Xu exclaimed in amazement.

Xu Dong shook his head subconsciously. It is true to say so, but the premise of high yield is sufficient water and fertilizer. After all, the cost performance may not be comparable to that of wheat.

"Mom, what are you going to do with these vegetables?"

Mama Xu had already thought about it: "Eat what you can eat at home, and feed the chickens if you can't finish it, so you can't waste it!"

"I don't think it's better than this. From now on, we will grow less vegetables at home, and grow some fruits in the vacant space." Xu Dong suggested.

"Well, Mom thinks the same way. I won't grow some popular vegetables in the future." Xu Ma nodded in agreement.

"I'll go to Panjiayuan to search for seeds later to see what is suitable for planting."

Yang Lina just came over and wanted to help her. Hearing her husband's words, she couldn't help but wondered:
"Grow what?"

"Nana, there is no shortage of vegetables in the grain store now, so our vegetable garden can't be wasted. Dongzi and I are discussing about planting some other fruits!" Madam Xu replied.

Yang Lina looked at the vegetables all over the ground, and immediately understood, she thought for a while and said:
"It's not urgent. Let's talk about harvesting the vegetables first. The seeds have been planted. It's a pity to pull them out."

"Then let's talk about it after the Chinese New Year!"
