My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 445: The Winter Holiday Is Here
"The exact number is not clear, but it is definitely more than 5000 people."

Just last month, the installation of all [-] production lines in the new factory had been completed, and all the personnel had arrived. There were two to three thousand more employees in the factory.

If you count the 3000 people at the Jinchangan Building, the total is almost 6000 people. With so many employees, the salary of each moonlight employee is 40 million.

"It's amazing, little sister, I didn't expect your family's business to be so big."

Zhang Xiuyan exclaimed.

"Sister, it's not as good as you think. In order to build a bakery, the family still owes the bank two billion yuan!"

"Two billion?" Zhang Xiuyan was stunned.

"Yes, a full two billion. When I heard this number, I didn't sleep well for several weeks." Xu Ma sighed.

Xu Dong quickly comforted: "Mom, why are you in a hurry, the bakery makes so much money, it only takes four or five years to pay off the loan in full."

"How can it be so easy? Your dad told me last night that Mayor He wants to build another [-] production lines, and now it's another two billion. I don't know when it will end."

"Really? Can it be put in the factory?"

Xu Dong said in astonishment.

"It should be more or less the same. For this expansion, the city intends to draw all the nearby venues such as Home Furnishing Port and Lighting City, without leaving any space. The space must be enough."

"What does dad mean?"

Mother Xu said angrily: "Could it be that your father can still object? Mayor He has already opened his mouth, and our family can only obey."

Xu Dong scratched his head. Although his mother's words were harsh, they were indeed true.

"Expand it, let's expand it, at most, repay the loan for two years."

"To put it lightly, if the drought ends early, so many loans will be in our hands. What will our family have to pay back?"

As a reborn person, Xu Dong didn't worry about this at all, so he said with confidence:
"Mom, don't worry, I have read the relevant information, this drought will definitely not end within ten years, maybe it will last for decades.

And even if it's over, the ecological environment won't recover for a while. It's not as easy as you think to increase food production.

Besides, since the city plans to expand, it means that there is a need for expansion. Mayor He must know more than us, and he will not joke about so much money. "

Although Zhang Xiuyan didn't quite understand, she still persuaded: "Little sister, Dongzi is so capable, he must be right, so don't worry."

Mama Xu waved her hand:
"You don't need to persuade me anymore. I've already thought about it. Is it a blessing or a disaster? I can't avoid the disaster. I can only take one step at a time. It's amazing to drag me to jail. What am I afraid of as an old woman..."

"Mom, I can't. Although I'm not capable of your son, no matter what, I can't just watch your old man fail in the evening. I really can't!"

Xu Dong smiled wryly.

"Okay, mom knows you are filial, but when the day comes, you and Nana don't have to worry about me, and raise the children well. Mom has just such a wish."

……

Blink to the second day.

After returning from the bakery yesterday, Xu's mother has been in a bad mood, and even her whole family has been affected.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuyan felt anxious, and finally took her little sister to chat for most of the night.

Xu's mother had someone to confide in, and she poured out a lot of things that she couldn't tell her children, and she finally calmed down a lot.

Early in the morning, I had breakfast.

Xu Dong personally drove his aunt to the train station, along with Xu Ma and Da Jie.

On the square in front of the station, Mama Xu took her elder sister's hand and chattered for more than half an hour.

Seeing that the check-in time is coming soon.

Xu Dong hurriedly reminded softly: "Mom, it's almost time."

It was only then that Xu's mother came to her senses, and quickly took a large suitcase from her little son.

"Sister, the box contains new year gifts for your family. Since you won't let me go to Yiling, you can take them back with you!"

"Oh, this is too much, how can an old woman like me carry it?" Zhang Xiuyan pretended to blame.

"Why are you carrying it? Dongzi was considerate and replaced it with a suitcase for you. You can just take it with you. Later, I will call Xiaojie's father and ask him to pick you up at the station. "

Mama Xu stuffed a lot of good things into the suitcase, including a bucket of adult milk powder, a box of cod liver oil, five catties of dried shrimp, five catties of white sugar, a pot of rapeseed oil, and finally a dozen catties of salted fish.

She is just such an elder sister, and the other person is not in good health. If she doesn't make up for it, she probably won't be able to last for a few years. She doesn't want to lose this close relative.

It is also because there are so many things installed, for insurance, it is better to let the nephew come and pick them up.

"Any good things?"

Zhang Xiuyan asked curiously.

"The things I prepared are still worse, go back and see for yourself!"

Mama Xu made a fool of herself.

Zhang Xiuyan nodded, and reached out to take the suitcase: "Then I won't be polite to you. With these new year's goods, this year can finally be a good year."

"Sister, you are right to think so. You have seen the situation in our family. Don't have any psychological burden. Eat what you should eat and drink what you should drink to take care of your body."

"Okay, I'll listen to you this time."

Mother Xu was very happy: "Don't worry about Da Jie, I will take care of it for you. When she gets homesick, I will take her back to see you."

Zhang Xiuyan reached out and touched her eldest granddaughter's scalp.

"Xiaojie, grandma is gone. You must listen to your auntie and work hard. Don't worry your family."

Dajie nodded, then wiped away her tears.

"You're a big girl, and you're still crying, don't forget to write a letter to your family."

Zhang Xiuyan's eyes were also red as she spoke.

Xu Dong glanced at his watch. It was only ten minutes before the departure time. If he didn't go in, it would be too late:
"Auntie, the time is almost up."

"Okay, you guys go back quickly!"

"Sister, be careful on the road." Mother Xu urged.

"Grandma, goodbye!"

After seeing off his aunt, Xu Dong sent his mother and cousin to the bakery. Today is Da Jie's first day at work.

Since Ma Lingling was not around, Mama Xu planned to go over to accompany her for a day in person. After all, the child was still young, so she was somewhat worried.

Fortunately, Da Jie's ability to adapt is pretty good. After just over a week, she was fully integrated into the office, and she did her job brilliantly.

Xu's mother was relieved, but also relieved.

Next, winter vacation finally arrived.

After the holiday, Ma Lingling and her three roommates lived in the bakery directly. Da Jie soon joined the small group, and they got along more and more harmoniously.

On the other hand, the Coco sisters are also on vacation.

The two are packing their luggage, because this weekend, they will go to Qindao with their father to visit little sister Enya, which is what their father promised.
