My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 461 "The Middle Ages"

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ting and his wife arrived with Ma Xu, so that the whole family finally got together.

Cleaning up, posting couplets, fried melon seeds, fried fish balls, making rice cakes, killing chickens...

Everyone was very busy.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, Dad Xu came back from get off work. This year's situation is special, his company did not hold an annual meeting, but each employee was paid an extra month's salary, which is equivalent to a year-end bonus.

"Third, come here."

Xu Dong stepped forward to take the coat that his father took off: "Dad, what's the matter?"

"I've already collected the two hundred million yuan. When will you want it?"

"So fast?"

Xu Dong was a little surprised. You must know that the economic situation this year is generally difficult. He didn't expect his father to get a loan so quickly.

Dad Xu explained with a smile: "It's just a coincidence that the land of the waste disposal site was expropriated by the city."

"Even if it is compensated, it can't compensate so much money, right?" Xu Dong asked in surprise.

Today is not the same as in the past, and the higher-ups are short of money now than ever before. Trying to make a fortune through demolition and relocation is tantamount to idiots talking in sleep.

After all, even the more difficult housing reform has been carried out, so are you afraid of small demolition?

"Although the compensation for land acquisition is not much, I took advantage of the opportunity to apply for a loan, but I didn't expect the city to agree." Dad Xu replied.

"How much did you borrow in total?"

"30 million and 30 million, [-] million is for you, and the remaining [-] million is used to relocate the waste disposal site."

Xu Dong asked curiously, "Where are you going to move the waste disposal site?"

"Yanjing definitely can't stay here. The land here is getting tighter and tighter. The best option is to leave Beijing. The company has already discussed it and plans to go to Baofu."

Baofu is a prefecture-level city below Jizhou. It is known as "three passes in the north, Kyushu in the south, an important place in Jifu, and Pinghan in the south". .

It would be a good choice to move the waste disposal site over there.

"Are the employees willing to go there?"

Dad Xu waved his hand: "Whether you want to go or not is completely voluntary. Those who are willing to go can be a small leader. Those who don't want to go can go directly to work in the bakery. They are recruiting people there."

"Dad, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity and close the waste disposal yard. The competition in this industry is too fierce, and you can't make much money anyway."

Xu Dong tried to suggest.

Dad is getting older and older, he doesn't want his dad to be too tired and not worth it.

"How can this work?" Xu's father directly refused, "Your father, I haven't studied for a few years, and I can't manage Changming Company and the bakery, so the waste recycling business is suitable for me."

"Why don't you keep running the cheap apartment for me? This is also very simple."

"No, no, don't think I don't know. Your low-cost apartment won't last for a few years. When the price goes up, it will definitely be sold."

"Uh, isn't that just a good time to retire!"

Dad Xu sighed: "Unless you resign and come over to take over, otherwise, with such a big mess, how can I think of retiring?"

Xu Dong is definitely unwilling to resign.

First of all, he is lazy and doesn't want to live that kind of social animal life;
Secondly, his status as a "policeman", how should I put it, can be regarded as a talisman, especially in the current environment, it is really indispensable.

"Do you want Jingyi to come over and help you?"

Xu Dong didn't care much about the waste disposal site, even if he gave it directly to his eldest niece, he wouldn't feel any distress at all.

"Forget it, the boss finally settled down, so don't come up with random ideas, Jingyi's introverted personality is more suitable for working in an agency."

The "family business" of the old Xu family must be passed on to his grandchildren, and to his eldest granddaughter, isn't that the same as giving it to outsiders?
Isn't this killing him!
Seeing his father's tough attitude, Xu Dong had no choice but to let it go. He immediately changed the subject: "Dad, is there any clue about the acquisition?"

"Ye Hui has already collected several suitable candidates. We can get in touch with them after the next year. Now that the hotel industry is in a downturn, it shouldn't be too difficult."

"That's good, try to pick someone with relevant experience."

"You still need to say that Ye Hui has more experience than you."

Xu Dong nodded: "In that case, let's put the [-] million in the bank for the time being, and call them together after the acquisition is completed."

"Don't you need a deposit here?"

"No need, I have already signed the letter of intent to purchase, this is all I need."

"OK then!"

……

The temperature is low in winter, and before seven o'clock in the evening, the New Year's Eve dinner at Lao Xu's family begins.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner was slightly less than last year, but it still opened Da Jie's eyes. The little girl didn't know what to hold with chopsticks.

Mama Xu helped Da Jie pick up a sea cucumber:
"Xiaojie, eat this, it will be nutritious."

"Thank you, little aunt." Da Jie quickly thanked her.

Dabao gave up his chicken legs to the second sister, and the second sister just gave them a dozen big figures. He, Dabao, is a person with clear grievances.

After the meal, Xu Dong took out the medals he ordered earlier, and both his eldest niece and Ma Lingling got their own medals.

As for Da Jie, Mama Xu included a lucky money of 880.

Xu Ting and Tan Aifang also suffered from heavy bleeding. The third child's family had many children, 10,000 yuan each, and they each made [-] yuan in red envelopes.

If it was in the past, the money would be so distressing.

But generally speaking, the two companies definitely made a lot of money. According to Mama Xu, the three medals are all made of pure gold, and one is 50,000 yuan less!

Tan Aifang was so distressed that her family had only one child, so it was a big loss.

As in previous years, the three Dabao brothers only received one yuan of New Year's money from their father.

"Dad, one dollar is too little."

"A lot." Xu Dong said with a smile.

"But the aunt and aunt both gave so much money?"

Dabao opened his hands and made a big circle.

"Really, what about the money?" Xu Dong joked.

"The money was taken by my mother."

The New Year's money is different from the pocket money the children earn themselves, Yang Lina is not polite.

Xu Dong patted the little guy's head: "That's it. Although Dad only gave you one yuan, Mom can't take it away. Did you make money?"

Dabao's little head suddenly ran out of melon seeds, and he always felt that something was wrong there.

After dismissing the children, the sound of mahjong sounded in the living room, and the men and women sat at the same table, just right.

This year's Spring Festival Gala is still the same, the main theme is still drought resistance, and the content of the program is similar to last year. The only highlight of the whole program is the invitation of several big stars from the beautiful country.

It is said that these people have just immigrated to Daxia.

One of the big stars named Taylor not only performed a masterpiece, but also sang a new work live, and this is a big summer song.

She sang pretty well.

After an interview with the host, it turned out that this big star started to learn Daxia dialect two or three years ago. No wonder he is so proficient in Mandarin.

Here is a little explanation of the situation in the beautiful country.

In the past two years, the beautiful country has been relatively stable as a whole. There have been no large-scale zero-yuan purchase incidents, but small-scale conflicts have emerged one after another, and the security situation has become increasingly severe.

Many celebrities have even suffered as a result.

Today, the beautiful country is less and less like a normal country, but it gives people a feeling of returning to the "Middle Ages".

In this land, rich people have built walls around land and recruited private armed forces to defend their private property; those without money can only unite with the community and "build a village" to protect themselves.

The most typical example is the Big Apple City.

A high wall was built around it. It is said that all the people living inside are rich or middle class. It is almost two different worlds from the outside.
