My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 437
"Section Chief Xu, I still have to take care of my grandson at home, so I won't go." Gao Yuemei evaded.

"Take the kids with you!"

"No, no, it's too troublesome."

Xu Dong quickly changed his method: "Sister Gao, I brought a lot of ingredients from home, and you also know that I don't know how to cook, and I can't handle it by myself. Can you come and help me?"

Faced with the benefactor's request, Gao Yuemei couldn't refuse at all, so she could only hold her grandson and sit on the big run.

After returning to the Sanhejiayuan community, more than half an hour has passed, and it will be lunch time soon.

"Sister Gao, the ingredients are in the kitchen, you wait a moment, I'll find someone to come and take care of the baby for you."

"No need, just let him watch TV in the living room."

Gao Yuemei persuaded. . .

"It's no trouble. This person is our former little neighbor. I originally planned to invite her to come with me."

Xu Dong waved his hand, and then knocked on the door of the neighbor's house next door.

"Xiao Yun, are you home?"

The door opened soon, and Xiao Yun was pleasantly surprised:
"Uncle Xu, are you back?"

Xu Dong nodded with a smile: "Uncle is going to invite his colleagues to dinner again this time, but there are many chores at home and there is a shortage of manpower. Xiaoyun, can you come and help uncle? Uncle invites you to dinner at noon."

"Okay, uncle, wait for me for a while, I'm going to change clothes." Xiao Yun said excitedly.

"Hurry up, come to uncle's house directly after changing clothes, the door is unlocked." Xu Dong urged.

"Uncle Xu, I see."

In less than 5 minutes, Xiao Yun, who had changed into clean clothes, came bouncing over. Compared with the beginning of the year, the little girl was thinner and tanned, but overall she was still healthy.

Xu Dong introduced Xiaoyun to Sister Gao, and then "thrown" little Zhang Tao over, letting the little girl hold her brother and watch TV in the living room.

Immediately afterwards, he went into the kitchen to wash an apple, cut it in half with a knife, and gave half to each of the two children.

"Come, eat an apple."

"Thank you, Uncle Xu."

Xiaoyun was so happy that his eyes almost narrowed.

Xu Dong patted the heads of the two children lightly.

He didn't grow the apples by himself, and he wasn't so generous, not to mention the small apple trees in the vegetable garden had already been picked by the children.

There was also a small episode.

Dabao is a little "smart". When everyone has eaten all the apples, he secretly hides one and plans to save it for the New Year.

As a result, in less than a week, the apple shriveled up and down. Because of this incident, the little guy was laughed at by the second sister for a long time.

Closer to home, in fact, these apples were brought back from Zhiyi Factory yesterday by him. They are all top-quality Red Fuji apples. A whole box is full, weighing about twenty catties.

According to Mr. Tan, they are not only a gift of thanks, but also a gift of apology.

Xu Dong couldn't shirk it, so he simply bought it with money. The total cost was 5000 yuan, which is 250 yuan per catty, which is definitely a high price.

But he didn't intend to take this batch of apples all by himself.

Jia Zhi Yi Factory also said that this is a thank you gift.

Since it was a thank you gift, everyone should have a share. After all, everyone contributed to this fire accident, and he has no face to put all the credit on himself.

Besides, it's just a box of apples, not that much yet.

Therefore, when he just left home, he specially brought over ten catties of apples, preparing them as after-dinner fruit, and he took the opportunity to give back to everyone.

……

Half an hour later, with the cooperation of Xu Dong and Gao Yuemei, both hot pots were ready.

One is a spicy pot, and the other is a seafood pot.

Exactly the same as last time.

It's just that the side dishes are a little different. This time, in addition to dried shrimp and dried seafood, there are three catties of whale meat added.

Dried shrimp and dried seafood are only one catty.

Adding the whale meat in this way, there are a total of five catties of meat dishes, which can be divided into half a catty per person on average, which is enough for everyone to feast on.

Next, Xiang Xin and the others arrived as if they had made an appointment. In just ten minutes, they all arrived one after another.

Except for Director Li and Director Cao, everyone else skipped breakfast, so when they saw such a sumptuous lunch, they couldn't bear it anymore, shouting to eat quickly.

Before eating, Xu Dong scooped up two bowls of vegetables and a loaf of bread, and asked Xiao Yun to help watch Xiao Zhang Tao while eating.

Little Zhang Tao is about to be five years old, and he has already learned to eat by himself. The current children are good at this, basically eat whatever they have, and are rarely picky eaters.

Just arranged for two children here.

Director Li has already poured the wine, except for Gao Yuemei, everyone has to drink today, especially Xu Dong, who can't run away.

"Come on, let's toast together!"

After Director Li finished speaking, he was the first to hold up the wine glass.

Director Cao, as the highest-ranking leader on the scene, immediately spoke of the toast:

"Today's meal serves two purposes."

He paused and continued:
"First, congratulations to our security department for winning the collective first-class merit, and another individual first-class merit and six individual second-class merits, setting a company record.

The second is to hope that Comrade Xu Dong can continue to work hard and lead the colleagues in the security department to work hard and achieve better results. I also wish you a bright future. "

"Thank you Director!" Everyone chattered.

"Okay, I hope that next year, the year after, and the year after that, Lao Li and I can still drink your celebration wine. Don't let us down." Director Cao waved his hand.

Xu Dong smiled wryly: "Director, you are planning to kill me, this time the fire was lucky, I just suffered a little injury.

If I come again a few times, my little life will definitely be lost, so please stop putting pressure on me. Our family has many children, so be careful blocking the door of your house. "

"Look at what you said, how dare you threaten me?"

Director Cao pretended to be angry and said.

"Haha, just do what you can, I didn't ask you to really work hard." Director Li smiled and shook his head.

"Thank you Uncle Li, Uncle Li still cares about me."

Director Cao coughed: "Okay, let's stop bullshitting, let's toast together!"

"cheers!"

"Bang... bang... bang..."

After double the amount of wine, everyone picked up their chopsticks and reached for the hot pot. The thick whale meat slices were everyone's first choice.

"It really tastes like meat!"

"It's strong enough, it's so enjoyable."

Now that it is delicious, everyone doesn't care about being hot or looking good. The table is full of flying chopsticks, and soon there will be very few whale meat slices left.

Xu Dong helped Director Cao and Director Li snatch a slice of whale meat, but he himself didn't eat a bite, because he really couldn't stand the faint stench.

"Xiao Xu, why don't you eat?"

Director Cao asked curiously.

"Hey, before you guys came, I already ate it secretly, so I won't steal it from you." Xu Dong casually found an excuse.

"Boss, how could you do this? Whale meat slices are pitifully scarce." Xiang Xin teased.

The last time their family bought [-] catties of whale meat in one go, they haven't finished it yet, probably out of guilt, she only picked up two or three chopsticks just now.

"What? Do I have to report to you after I have tasted it?" Xu Dong said angrily.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
