My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 355 Hunger
"Dongzi, if you work hard, you may have the opportunity to meet the big boss. As far as I know, every weekend the big boss will call all major companies for a summary meeting."

Xu Dong laughed at himself: "I'm the gatekeeper, so I'm going to attend a Mao work meeting!"

"You will be qualified after two or three more levels, three years to level one, ten years at most." Ma Jie encouraged.

"How can it be so easy? Promotion is not something you can do if you want to. There is no saying that it will come naturally. My promotion to section chief almost failed me this time."

"You have only been working for two years, and you can be promoted to section chief, which is already very fast!"

Ma Jie has always thought that his brother-in-law is awesome, and the section chief has been appointed as soon as he said it. For him, promotion seems to be easier than drinking water.

"Okay, let's not talk about this! Brother-in-law, how will you arrange the work here next?"

"Thanks to your sister, when the work is finished, I should be transferred back to Langfang, where I will take care of the logistics, and I won't have to go to the construction site in the future." Ma Jie sighed.

Xu Dong asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, it seems that you are not very happy with your tone?"

"It's comfortable to sit in an office, but it's a pity that I get a dead salary, at most 10,000 yuan a month, which is less than a quarter of what it is now."

"It's enough to have enough money, why do you need so much?"

"You can't say that. Lingling will go to college soon, and she will prepare a wedding room for Xiaoxu in the future. Which one is not a big expense?" Ma Jie explained.

"Lingling's grades are so good, and she can get a scholarship every year, so you don't have to worry about it. As for Xiaoxu, it's normal to not be able to afford a house. If it's a big deal, apply for public rental housing. Where can I live?" Xu Dong comforted.

Ma Jie said angrily: "Tsk tsk, according to what you said, Dabao and the others will also live in public rental housing in the future?"

"Buy a house if you have the conditions. If you don't have the conditions, you can only live in public rental housing."

Xu Dong probably understood what his brother-in-law meant.

The three brothers Ma Xu and Dabao are considered to be of the same age. Ma Jie didn't want his son to fall too far, and even lose his head in front of his cousins.

"Look, you look down on public rental housing from the bottom of your heart. If you have the opportunity to buy a house, who would want to live in public rental housing?"

"Doesn't your family have a house? It's still a three-bedroom apartment. It's better to let Xiaoxu live at home. When you have children, you can help take care of your grandchildren."

"Langfang's development is far behind. I still want him to go to work in Yanjing. It's better to go to Jinmen than to stay in Langfang."

"Isn't it the subway now? It takes at most one or two hours to go back and forth, and it's like living in a Langfang." Xu Dong persuaded.

Ma Jie couldn't help expressing his last concern: "You also know your sister's temper, she's too strong, and I'm afraid that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will have conflicts when they live together."

"If it doesn't work, let Xiaoxu find a gentler wife. I think Nisang's wife is very good." Xu Dong took the opportunity to tease.

"It's all nonsense, and you don't understand the language, how can you live together?"

"Don't worry, language is definitely not a problem."

Xu Dong was very sure, because according to the memory of his previous life, a few years after the establishment of the Asian League, the language and characters of Daxia would spread rapidly, and in fact became the only official language of the Asian League.

"I don't know where your confidence comes from?" Ma Jie was a little dumbfounded.

"Wait and see if you don't believe me!"

"Stop talking to you, I still have a job here, so hang up first."

"Bye-Bye!"

……

In a blink of an eye, it's the weekend again.

Xu Dong wanted to sleep late, but was woken up by a call from his mother.

"Mom, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

"Get up quickly, the vegetables at home are almost gone, go to the grain store to buy some, and bring back this month's ration by the way."

Xu Ma was sitting on the bedside, holding a small book and was doing the calculations. Although she had limited mobility, she still had to take care of the family.

"Can't we go later?"

"The dishes in the morning are the freshest. If you go late, the good dishes will be taken away. You are not a child, so why don't you sleep late, get up quickly."

Xu Dong could only lift the quilt resignedly: "Okay, get up right away."

After washing, I drank a bowl of rice porridge.

"Honey, here's the food card." Yang Lina handed over the food card.

Xu Dong took it casually, and immediately asked:

"How much rations does our family have in total this month?"

"Together it weighs about 148 catties, 33.4 catties of cornmeal, 35.8 catties of vegetables, and the rest are potatoes and sweet potatoes." Yang Lina introduced.

Xu Dong secretly calculated, and found that it was less than last month. Their family has more children, so they can get some preferential treatment. Other families are really going to eat dirt.

And if Yanjing is like this, let alone other cities, it must be more difficult.

"Oh, it's getting harder and harder."

Yang Lina couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "You old man, I don't know where you are so sentimental. When did our family run out of food? With me here, you can't be hungry."

"Hey, I should be the one who said that, right? I have hoarded the food at home with hard work. Without me, your mothers would really have to drink the northwest wind." Xu Dong said proudly.

"Can you cook?"

"Uh, who said I can't cook anymore? I can stew." Xu Dongli said confidently.

Today's stews require little cooking.

Add vegetables, water, and salt!
If possible, add a little homemade sauce.

In less than ten minutes, a plate of delicious stew is out of the pan. In many cases, "hunger" is the best condiment, which is pure natural and has no additives.

"You can cook the stew well, and even Mark doesn't eat other stews. It's better not to brag, and go shopping for vegetables after eating."

"As ordered!"

Half an hour later, Xu Dong appeared at the entrance of the grain store with a vegetable basket on his shoulders. Compared with the crowds at the beginning of the month, it was obviously much deserted at this time.

I went back and forth three times in total, and in the end there were only 25.5 catties of vegetables left on the food card. All the food was bought, and 10 catties of vegetables were also bought.

My mother can be free and come to buy vegetables on time every day. He doesn't have the patience. Basically, every time he buys, the basket is full. Anyway, there is a refrigerator at home.

He firmly rejected the purchase requests of the Erdao dealers, and at the same time dismissed some people who wanted to exchange coarse grains. The more low-key it is at this time.

Suddenly, a surprised voice stopped him.

"Brother Xu, I finally found you."

"Uh, you are..."

Looking at the young woman in front of him, Xu Dong felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was.

"I'm Song Lin, the person who wanted to buy pork from your family last year, and you went to our house later, did you forget?"

Xu Dong patted his head, he finally remembered, for the sake of the little baby, he also sold the other five catties of tuna meat.

"Long time no see, has the baby recovered from the cold?" Xu Dong asked concerned.

"Okay, thanks to your fish meat, Chenchen drank the fish soup, her body has developed resistance, and her cold will be cured within a few days."

"It's fine!"

Song Lin said angrily, "Brother Xu, I sent you so many text messages. I really just wanted to invite you to my house for a meal. Why didn't you reply?"

"Food is so scarce now, there is no need to eat." Xu Dong waved his hand.

At that time, he just did it casually, and the matter passed as it passed, and there was no need to entangle it.
