My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 301 Dividing Fish (2)

Next is Director Cao's house.

"Dong dong dong...Aunt Cao, are you home?" Xu Dong stood at the door and knocked on the door. He has been here no less than Section Chief Li's house, and he is already very familiar with it.

With a bang, the anti-theft door was opened. The person who opened the door was a strange woman wearing a pair of rimless glasses. She looked about 37 or [-] years old and was very formally dressed.

"you are?"

Xu Dong hurriedly introduced himself and said, "Hello, is Aunt Cao at home? I'm Xu Dong, and Director Cao is a colleague, and I also work in the power company."

"So you are 'Xiao Xu', please come in, my mother is at home!"

Xu Dong guessed the identity of the other party all at once. This person looks like Director Cao, so she should not be his daughter-in-law, but probably his daughter. He already knew that Director Cao's family has three children, two sons and one daughter.

"How may I call you?"

"You can call me Sister Cao. My mother often mentions you at home, and my ears are numb." Cao Zhenzhen said humorously.

"Sister Cao, give me a break. I'll move the salted fish in first." After Xu Dong finished speaking, he lifted the bag vigorously.

Cao Zhenzhen hurried forward to help.

After putting the salted fish away, Xu Dong wiped his sweat: "There are still three bags in the car, I have to go down a few times, don't rush to close the door."

"There are so many, are these all salted fish?"

Cao Zhenzhen was taken aback. Last night, her mother told her to come and get the salted fish today, but she never expected that there would be so many of them.

"A total of 200 catties." Xu Dong nodded.

"I'll help you."

Cao Zhenzhen's eyes were full of fire.

After a lot of effort, the two finally moved all the salted fish. Xu Dong was almost exhausted. Today, he was unlucky. It happened to be overhauled years ago, and the entire street here was in a power outage.

Aunt Cao quickly brought over a cup of tea: "Xiao Xu, are you tired? Drink some water quickly."

"Mom, why don't you drink hot tea, let's drink this!" Cao Zhenzhen gasped, she was exhausted just now.

Xu Dong grabbed the bottled water, drank most of it in one gulp, and said with a smile, "Sister Cao still understands me!"

"Xiao Xu, I really troubled you today." Aunt Cao thanked again.

Xu Dong quickly waved his hand: "Fortunately, it's not troublesome. I usually don't exercise much, so I'll take it out to exercise today."

After resting for 10 minutes, Xu Dong left. Before leaving, he also told the other party that the salted fish must be cooked before eating.

After Xu Dong left, Cao Zhenzhen couldn't wait to untie a bag containing salted fish, and said excitedly: "Mom, with so many salted fish, our family has made a fortune this time."

"Xiao Xu is really capable. He made the dried shrimp and imperial goose last time." Aunt Cao said with emotion.

"So powerful? But looking at him, he doesn't look like a rich second generation at all. He doesn't have any arrogance at all. He's so easy-going."

"The tutor is good!"

Cao Zhenzhen nodded, then her expression changed, and she flattered her mother and said, "Mom, can I share fifty catties of these salted fish?"

"Why do you want so much?"

Aunt Cao immediately became vigilant. Her daughter’s family was simple, with only three members. Fifty catties of salted fish was too much for them. She originally only wanted to give them thirty catties.

Thirty catties, enough to feed a family of three for a year.

"Can't I pay for it?"

Aunt Cao rolled her eyes: "Is this about money? Don't be sloppy with me, tell me what's going on?"

"I want to send some to the child's grandfather."

"Your father-in-law is also a retired cadre anyway, doesn't he usually get extra subsidies?"

Cao Zhenzhen sighed: "Yes, there are, but at most they are some white rice noodles, and usually you don't even see a single pig hair."

"You, other people's daughters always take things from their mother's house. It's better for you, just do the opposite."

"Mom, it's not easy for my father-in-law. The old man is more than 70 years old. Since her mother-in-law passed away, her health has deteriorated day by day." Cao Zhenzhen explained.

Cao Zhenzhen shook her head: "Fifty catties is definitely not enough. I will give you 35 catties at most. You keep thirty catties for yourself, and send the remaining five catties to you!"

"Thank you mom!"

Cao Zhenzhen looked happy. Originally, her expectation was only 35 catties, and [-] catties was already beyond expectations.

"Don't thank me, I'm your mother, there's nothing to thank." Aunt Cao then said earnestly:
"Daughter, it's not that mother said you. At any time now, taking good care of your little family is the most important thing, and don't worry about the rest. Your father-in-law doesn't only have a son-in-law and a son, but your family is poor and generous."

Cao Zhenzhen smiled embarrassingly, she did pull wool a little frequently at her mother's house.

Milk powder, dried shrimp, various supplements, emperor goose...

Back and forth, I have bought a lot of good things and went back. Fortunately, the two younger brothers are not at home, otherwise there would have been troubles.

……

From Xu Dong's side, Manager Yuan's house is next.

Originally, this matter could be left to Dad Xu, but it's a pity that the other party is preparing for the annual meeting and has no time at all.

In the end, Xu Dong could only do it for him.

After learning about Xu Dong's intentions, Manager Yuan hurried back from the company without stopping.

"Brother Xu, you are too polite."

Manager Yuan brought Xu Dong a cup of tea himself.

Xu Dong hurriedly took it: "A few days ago, I just went to Minzhou for work reasons. There is a famous hometown of yellow croakers. I was also lucky. I brought a batch of salted fish back by the way, but the quality of the salted fish was not very good. , with some regrets."

"This kind of regret, I hope there will be more." Manager Yuan sighed.

Thirty catties of salted fish, what a big deal.

"It's best to have it every day." Madam Yuan echoed with a smile. The other father and son are both caring people.

"To be honest, you have also seen that there are traces of rot on the salted fish, so it is best to choose high-temperature cooking when eating." Xu Dong reminded.

Madam Yuan nodded, fastened the bag again, and carried the salted fish into the bedroom.

Although the salted fish tastes great, she will really feel at ease only if it is kept in the bedroom.

Moreover, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, relatives are inevitable, and only the bedroom is the most secret place.

Manager Yuan took out his mobile phone and asked, "Brother Xu, how much is the salted fish?"

"2400 yuan per catty, the odds are free, just give [-]!" The other party is a public official after all, and it's better for the brothers to settle the accounts clearly.

In case something happened to the other party, and he would not be implicated, Manager Yuan probably had the same idea.

"Then I won't be polite to you."

After the transfer was completed, Xu Dong went to check on the little baby, and then offered to leave.

Madam Yuan asked to stay: "It will be noon soon, stay for a meal?"

"No, I already have an appointment, let's do it next time!" Xu Dong evaded.

After leaving Manager Yuan's house, Xu Dong came to the last stop this morning, Zhao Jian's house.

(Good night everyone, happy every day!)
