My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 436: Sunday Dinner
"What do you think about the alliance?"

Director Cao continued to ask.

Li Wei smiled wryly and shook his head: "Section Chief Xu doesn't seem to have any thoughts in this regard, it seems that I am being self-indulgent."

"No, he hasn't fully trusted you yet. It's too early to talk about forming an alliance. Don't worry, take your time!"

Director Cao quickly comforted him.

Next, the teacher and the student chatted for more than an hour. The two chatted not only about Xu Dong, but also about their future work arrangements.

After Li Wei left, Aunt Cao specially came to the study:

"Old man, how are things going?"

"Li Wei is [-]% willing, but Xiao Xu is a little hesitant, but after some mediation between the two of them, there should be no mutual hostility." Director Cao replied.

"It's good not to be hostile, so that you don't have trouble in the middle." Aunt Cao was very satisfied with the result. . .

"Li Wei is so unlucky!"

Director Cao couldn't help sighing.

Aunt Cao shook her head: "Li Wei is not bad luck. If he hadn't met you as a teacher, he might not even be the head of the section. Old man, be careful, you didn't do anything wrong to anyone."

Director Cao casually extinguished the cigarette butt.

"Don't worry, I don't feel guilty, I just feel a little regretful."

"What's there to regret, by the way, Xiao Xu, how much did you pay just now?" Aunt Cao asked instead.

"The transfer is 100,000 yuan, the price is really expensive."

Director Cao sighed.

Aunt Cao glared at her wife: "You still think it's expensive? Don't even look at what time it is, let alone a hundred thousand, I'm happy with 1 million."

"I didn't say Xiao Xu was expensive. What I meant was that the current prices are too expensive, especially in terms of food." Director Cao quickly explained.

"Hmph, let me tell you the truth, Xiao Xu has been very kind to our family, so don't sit on your butt. No one knows what's going on in the future, and the family still depends on Xiao Xu!"

Aunt Cao couldn't help reminding.

Director Cao waved his hand, showing a wry smile:
"Xiao Xu's wings are stiff now, even without my support, he can take my place smoothly."

"It's good for you to know for yourself. Even if Li Wei takes over your class, what can he do for our family? Can he get food? Can he get meat?"

"Superficial." Director Cao muttered in a low voice.

"What? Who are you calling superficial?" Aunt Cao was angry.

"I didn't tell you."

"Bah, old man, let me remind you again, the salted fish, whale meat, and cooking oil we ate just now are all thanks to Xiao Xu, you should weigh them carefully."

"I am now supporting Xiao Xu's succession. Didn't you see that Li Wei asked to be transferred?"

Aunt Cao stared closely at her wife's eyes and realized that it was not a fake, so she was really relieved.

"Okay, the two barrels of milk powder that Xiao Xu brought, you can find a chance to deal with them tomorrow, and try to exchange them for more coarse grains."

"Don't you always complain about your backache? Why don't you keep the milk powder for yourself and take care of yourself!" Director Cao advised.

"I'm not sick. What milk powder I drink is a waste of good things. Our family still has too little food, and I'm always not at ease."

"What about more than 1000 catties? Do you think it's too little?"

"Less, too little. I originally thought that the drought would end in two or three years at most, but now it's good. I didn't know that the drought would last until the year of the monkey!
If you look at the population of our family again, let’s not talk about the second and third children. The eldest is all married, and they also have to rely on family subsidies, otherwise they will not be able to survive this day. "

The whole family ate and drank, and Aunt Cao was often so worried that she couldn't sleep all night.

"Uh, you have to think about it. It's easy to change out the milk powder, but it's hard to change it back."

Aunt Cao waved her hand: "Think about it, Xiao Xu also said just now that the two barrels of milk powder are about to expire, and they can be stored for half a year at most, and they will go bad if they are put down."

"Okay, I'll make a call later. Milk powder is always in high demand. It's no problem to change it to three or four hundred catties of corn flour."

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are not easy to store, and cornmeal is the first choice.

"When the corn flour is replaced, you can send fifty catties to your son-in-law's house. Zhenzhen was still complaining to me yesterday, saying that there is not enough food at home."

Aunt Cao ordered.

Director Cao frowned: "I remember that last month, didn't I only give away [-] catties?"

There are only three people in the son-in-law's family, and thirty catties of food is definitely more than enough.

"Her brother-in-law came to borrow food, and borrowed more than ten catties at once, and the father-in-law also subsidizes five catties every month."

"Nonsense, forget about the old man, what's the matter with the uncle? You call Zhenzhen and the others over later, I want to have a good talk with them."

"Don't be angry, this weekend, I will notify them to come over."

"Let them come over on Saturday night, I have work to do on Sunday."

"What's the matter? Don't you have to work overtime again?" Aunt Cao said distressedly.

Director Cao shook his head: "This matter has something to do with Xiao Xu. Their department held a dinner party. I, as the boss, don't want to be absent."

"Dinner? Are they still thinking about having dinner?"

"Let me tell you, Xiao Xu and his security department are really lucky. There was Lao Li in front of them, who helped them get seven or eight hundred catties of rice for each of them.

Then there is Xiao Xu, every once in a while, he will help them get some hot goods, such as white sugar, salted fish, emperor goose meat, etc., and he has never stopped. "

Director Cao took a sip of water and said with emotion:

"Their lives are nourished by this group of people!"

"so good?"

Director Cao nodded: "In addition to this meritorious service, the security department is very hot now, and many people want to squeeze into their department.

Before, there was a vacancy with great difficulty, but it turned out that because of the fierce internal competition, no one would accept the other, and in the end they had to take advantage of outsiders. "

Speaking of this vacancy, Sister Feng was equally envious.

She had wanted to get her little daughter in for a long time, but she didn't expect to be eliminated before she even started.

"It's a pity. The son-in-law's current job is only superficial. I should have let him go to the security department of your company."

"That also requires him to put down his face."

After all, in the impression of ordinary people, the so-called security department is actually a job of guarding the gate, and there is no room for advancement. It is even more tasteless than chicken ribs.

……

The time passed quickly, and it was Sunday in a blink of an eye. The dinner time was about twelve o'clock at noon. There was plenty of time during the day, so there was no need to worry about the curfew.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, Xu Dong drove a big car and brought two big boxes of ingredients to the Sanhejiayuan Community.

The food this time was basically the same as last time, and only two big hot pots were prepared.

After putting down the ingredients, Xu Dong rushed to Gao Yuemei's house without stopping. This was specially requested by Director Li. It happened to be a weekend holiday and the other party was free.

"Dong dong dong..."

Gao Yuemei opened the door: "Section Chief Xu? Why are you here?"

"I'm here to pick you up for dinner."

"What's for dinner?" Gao Yuemei looked puzzled.

Xu Dong explained: "Cory has a dinner party, everyone is here, Uncle Li will also come, and you are missing right now."

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
