My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 283 New Major

Half an hour later, Xu Bin and the old man got the heated lunch together.

"What's for lunch?"

Xu Bin shook his head: "I don't know either. The lunch box is prepared by the child's mother. I usually don't care about such things."

"Brother, I brought sweet potato pancakes, why don't we switch flavors?" the old man suggested.

Nowadays, there are only a single variety of rations, and colleagues who are generally close to each other will exchange food with each other when eating, which can at least make the stomach feel better.

"Okay!"

The old man was very honest, Xu Bin agreed immediately, and then opened his lunch box, which contained eight or nine egg-sized rice balls.

These are not ordinary rice balls. Tan Aifang chopped shiitake mushrooms, dried fish, fish balls and shrimps together and mixed them with rice. It smells very fragrant.

As soon as the old man saw the rice balls, he immediately covered his lunch box secretly, and sighed: "Brother, it's my brother who is being rude, let's eat our own!"

"Don't!" Xu Bin grabbed the old man, "It's all agreed, how can you go back on it?"

After speaking, he scooped up two rice balls with a spoon and put them in the other party's lunch box, and then brought back two sweet potato cakes from the other party.

Two for two, no one seems to be at a disadvantage.

"Brother, what do you want me to say..." The old man was a little embarrassed.

"It's just two rice balls, it's no big deal." Xu Bin finally found a sense of superiority from the old man.

The old man immediately gave a thumbs up: "My brother is bright."

After returning to his seat with the lunch box, Xu Bin felt a lot more relaxed, and everything in front of him became clearer.

"Dabin, what are you laughing at, did you find the money?" Tan Aifang asked in surprise.

"No, I just ran into an old friend and chatted with him." Xu Bin shook his head.

"Who, do I know?"

"You don't know me, don't talk about this, hurry up and eat, Jingyi must be hungry." Xu Bin immediately changed the subject.

Tan Aifang was noncommittal, and gently opened the lunch box.

"Hey, where did this sweet potato pancake come from?"

"That old friend of mine forced it on me." Xu Bin replied.

"No, I remember that I made nine rice balls last night, which happened to be three for each person. Why are there two missing?"

"I took it back as a gift. They gave me sweet potato pancakes. I can't pretend I didn't see it!" Xu Bin explained.

Tan Aifang's face turned pale and she complained, "It's a big loss. One of our rice balls can be exchanged for ten sweet potato pancakes. Why are you so stupid?"

"We're all old friends, it's boring to talk about it." Xu Bin said nonchalantly.

"I want to see what kind of friend is so precious?"

Seeing that her parents were about to quarrel, Xu Jingyi quickly took off her earphones, and interrupted:

"Mom, give me a sweet potato pancake. I haven't eaten it for a long time. It's weird."

"Look, Jingyi likes to eat sweet potato pancakes." Xu Bin said proudly. For the couple, the world is not as big as their daughter.

Xu Jingyi rubbed her temples, her father's EQ is no one else, he is simply a straight man of steel, if it is now, let alone marrying a wife, he will not be able to find a girlfriend, and he will be lonely.

"You fool, can't your daughter understand what she means?" Tan Aifang said angrily.

"Okay, mom, it's time to eat, it will get cold if you don't eat it." Xu Jingyi persuaded again.

After a not-so-pleasant lunch, Yanjing was about to arrive. The family of three were a little nervous. They hadn't seen each other for a year, and they didn't know if there was any change in Yanjing.

……

At half past one in the afternoon, Xu Dong arrived at the high-speed rail station.

After waiting for more than half an hour, he finally picked up the boss's family, but there was an old couple beside him. The boss meant that this person was an old friend, and hoped that he could help take him along.

After some courtesies, Xu Dong asked while walking:
"Master, where is your son's home?"

"I have the address, please take a look for me, it's the first time for us old people to come to Yanjing, and we are not familiar with this place." The old man took out a small note.

Xu Dong took it over and took a look, okay, Daxia Media College is on the edge of the East Fifth Ring Road, not too far from their home.

"Master, your son is a university teacher?"

The old man was very proud: "Yes, he used to teach at Wannong University, but he was transferred to Yanjing last year."

"Wannong University? Then why did he go to Daxia Media College?" Xu Dong asked confused.

"I've heard him say this. The universities here have opened up many new majors related to agriculture, and there is an urgent need for additional teachers. My old son is also lucky and caught up with the good time."

"So that's how it is. My bus has arrived. Everyone get on the bus quickly. Don't take the bus, grandpa and aunt. I'll take you there directly!" Xu Dong said politely.

Although he himself is not well-educated, he especially admires those knowledgeable people. Since he meets them, he doesn't mind helping out a little.

"This...this...how embarrassing, it's too troublesome!"

"No trouble, it's in the same direction as our house, half an hour's journey at most." Xu Dong explained.

It was rare for Xu Bin to say thank you when he saw his brother save face. Xu Dong nodded his head and said no thanks.

Four and 10 minutes later, Daxia Media College arrived.

The old man expressed his thanks again, and originally wanted to give the other party a bag of homemade fried sweet potatoes, but in the end he didn’t give it away. Any fool can see that the other party is not short of money and food.

On the way home, Tan Aifang almost pointed at her husband's nose and cursed at her. Xu Dong persuaded her husband several times before she persuaded the eldest couple.

"Jingyi, what did your father do?"

Xu Jingyi covered her forehead and explained softly: "My dad was on the train at noon. He exchanged two rice balls with meat for two sweet potato pancakes with the old man just now. My mom has been angry all the time!"

"Oh, sister-in-law, just change it, I think the old man is also a real person." Xu Dong helped to persuade.

"Uncle, you don't know how much meat I put in the rice ball, and I usually don't want to eat it. Your elder brother is so good, he slapped his face to pretend to be fat, and lied to me that he was an old friend. In the end, we didn't know each other for less than an hour. , shit old friend."

Tan Aifang said angrily.

"As long as it's sincere, it's still an old friend for an hour." Xu Bin couldn't help retorting.

"Can you say that again?"

Fortunately, he was home at this time, and Xu Bin was fooled in a hurry, prodigal girls, let him lose face today.

At the door of the house, Mother Xu had been waiting for a long time with Xiaobao in her arms.

"Mom, we're back."

"Why is it so late?" Mother Xu couldn't help frowning.

"When I came back, I helped the boss see off an old friend, which was delayed by more than ten minutes." Xu Dong explained.

"Okay, just come back."

"Grandma, I miss you so much." Xu Jingyi jumped at Mama Xu as soon as she got out of the car.

"Good boy, grandma misses you too."

Mama Xu wiped her tears with the back of her hand, she brought up the eldest granddaughter with no less affection than Dabao and the others.

Xu Dong stepped forward to take Xiaobao and let the grandfather and grandson vent their feelings.
