My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 495
In a small supermarket facing the street, Xu Jingyi and Pan Jun sat opposite each other, chatting while drinking chrysanthemum tea.

"Brother Pan, your navy should go abroad often, right?"

"That's it!"

"Which countries have you been to?"

Xu Jingyi asked curiously.

"I have basically been to the Kangaroo Country, South Asia, the Philippines, and Europe, but our main job is to be in charge of escorting, and most of them just stop at the port for supplies, and rarely go ashore."

"Is it a mess abroad?"

Pan Jun took a sip of water: "The first two years were indeed chaotic, but the past two years have been much better. Foreign countries are not as exaggerated as everyone imagined, and they are generally calm."

Pan Jun didn't say the specific reason, but Xu Jingyi can probably guess it, it's just that the population is almost exhausted and a certain balance has been reached.

"How is life abroad? Is it miserable?"

"This has to be treated differently. Europe is similar to us, and food and clothing are basically no problem;

The Philippines and South Asia are more miserable. They have been living a miserable life, and famines will occur from time to time. You can often see a large number of beggars at the port;
Life in Kangaroo Country is not easy either. The refugee problem there is very serious. Many people simply choose to immigrate abroad. In my estimation, the remaining people may not last long. "

"What about the beautiful country? Have you ever been there?"

Pan Jun shook his head: "No, there are few islands in the Pacific Ocean, and there are few pirates, so there is basically no need for escorts. And the most important thing is that the west coast of the beautiful country is almost deserted, and there is not much trade at all."

"Can you still go to the East Coast?"

"I can't go there. The Panama Canal has been blocked for a long time, and navigation is impossible at all. I have to bypass South America. In this case, it is better to take the Atlantic route westward, or take the Arctic route."

"Arctic route?"

"The Arctic route is only open to navigation in summer, and the total time of the whole year is less than four months. Most of the time, the Atlantic route is still used."

"Brother Pan, you know a lot!"

Xu Jingyi praised her.

Pan Jun said modestly: "It's nothing, what I'm talking about is some common sense, as long as you go abroad for a while, you will know everything."

"I dare not go abroad. If my parents find out, they will have to skin me."

Xu Jingyi stuck out her tongue playfully.

Pan Jun didn't expect the other party to have such a cute side, so he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

"Cough cough..."

Xu Jingyi's face turned red, and she fanned the wind with her palms desperately.

Pan Jun finally came to his senses, took a sip of water as a cover, "Jingyi, if you want to go abroad, why not wait a year or two until Southeast Asia stabilizes, and I will take you there for a tour."

With the signing of the Asia Mutual Treaty, I believe that it will not take long for the entire Southeast Asian region to stabilize quickly, and going abroad is basically equivalent to going out of the state.

"Okay!" Xu Jingyi agreed with a smile.

Pan Jun's confidence greatly increased after hearing this. The meaning of this sentence is very obvious. The other party also has a good impression of him, at least he does not reject it.

The two chatted for more than an hour until Mother Xu called and asked them to go back to eat.

Back in the courtyard, the two had just entered the door.

Tan Aifang hurriedly pulled her daughter into the bedroom, Wang Xiujuan and Yang Lina were also there, and it seemed that the three of them were going to have a "three-court interrogation".

Wang Xiujuan cut to the chase and said, "Jingyi, that Pan Jun, did you fall in love?"

"Grandma Wang, why would you ask such a question, isn't it too direct?" Xu Jingyi said shyly.

"Aunt Wang, sister-in-law, it seems that Jingyi must have taken a fancy to him. The young man is really good. Although he is a bit dark, he is tall and handsome, and his personality looks good."

Tan Aifang sighed: "It's just that the job is not very good. If you get married, you won't be able to see each other several times a year."

"Aifang, this matter is not as bad as you think. Pan Jun is now a lieutenant officer. When he is promoted to a colonel, he will have more vacations. Maybe he can apply to stay in Hong Kong!"

Yang Lina helped to persuade: "Yes, young people should focus on their careers, and there is no need to stay together every day. There is a saying that says that, a little goodbye is better than a newlywed."

"Auntie, what are you talking about?"

Xu Jingyi said coquettishly.

Tan Aifang stared into her daughter's eyes and asked:
"Jingyi, tell mom honestly, do you want to date that Pan Jun?"

"Mom, Big Brother Pan is fine."

Wang Xiujuan patted her thigh: "That's right, since the two children have a crush on each other, let's let them stay together for a while and then take a look!"

"Jingyi, have you thought about it?"

Tan Aifang wanted to confirm her daughter's thoughts.

Xu Jingyi nodded.

"Well, you're not a child anymore, your father and I have no objection to your association, you can just make up your own mind!"

Tan Aifang took her daughter's hand and said.

"Thank you mom!"

"Silly boy, tell mom what to thank, as long as you can be happy, parents are willing to do anything."

"mom……"

Tan Aifang waved her hand: "Okay, your grandma is calling, let's go over and have dinner!"

Soon, the restaurant was full of people.

Xu Jingyi and Pan Jun were arranged to sit together.

Because of the presence of outsiders, in order to keep a low profile, although the lunch was very rich, compared with usual, there was still a big gap.

There is only one meat dish, a large bowl full of steamed salted fish, and the rest are vegetarian dishes, including scrambled eggs with leeks, garlic lettuce, dry pot cabbage, fried beans, braised eggplant, glutinous rice balls, tomatoes mixed with sugar, and fried peanuts.

Finally, there is a pot of dried seaweed shrimp egg drop soup.

There are not many dried shrimps, so it is not considered a meat dish.

Pan Jun is generally quite calm. The navy often goes abroad, and there are many opportunities for toothbrush sacrifices. He has eaten a lot of big lobsters with long arms.

Pan Ying couldn't do it anymore, the little girl smelled the aroma of the food, and her throat couldn't stop rolling up and down, she was really too greedy.

Mama Xu greeted quickly: "Pan Jun, Pan Ying, move your chopsticks quickly, just like at home, don't be polite."

After Xu Ma finished speaking, she helped them each pick up a piece of salted fish.

"Thank you grandma!"

The siblings quickly thanked each other.

Soon, the atmosphere at the dinner table became active, and Pan Jun took the opportunity to tell some overseas anecdotes, which caused everyone to exclaim.

Xu Bin was the only one at the scene drinking dull wine, and his daughter who had been raised for 22 years was going to be taken advantage of by outsiders. It would be a ghost if he could be happy.

If it wasn't for the fact that the young man was too good and couldn't find any obvious shortcomings, he would have made a fuss.

Xu Dong picked up his wine glass and touched his eldest brother, and persuaded in a low voice:

"Boss, look away!"

"It sounds good. When Keke and Lele arrive, I want to see if you are really so open-minded?"

Xu Bin said unhappily.

"Hey, okay, when Jingyi gets married, I'll buy her a wedding house next to the daily office, so that you can meet every day."

"Really?" Xu Bin suddenly became excited.

"The company has been doing well recently, don't worry!"

Xu Dong said generously.

The situation in Hancheng is very good, all the low-cost apartments have been rented out, and the monthly rent is more than [-] million, and in a few years, there will be a huge amount of income in the account.

In comparison, giving the eldest niece a wedding house is really just a drizzle.

"Third, thank you."

Xu Bin took the initiative to toast a glass of wine.

The third child will be given a wedding house, plus the house promised by his father, so their family will have two houses, which is enough for this lifetime.

"Why are you being polite to me!"

Xu Dong picked up his wine glass and touched the other party.

At the same time, several children were eating in the living room. There were guests at home, and their mother would not allow them to come to the table. The little ones could watch TV while eating.

Dabao asked his grandma to help him pick up a large bowl full of vegetables, and then returned to the living room with the rice bowl in his hands.

"Niuniu, I'll give you some food."

Dabao shared half of the dishes in the bowl with Niuniu.

There were guests at home today, and it happened to be Children's Day, Xu's mother persuaded Niuniu's mother to let Niuniu stay.

"Thank you, Brother Dabao."

Niuniu squinted her eyes, her little face was full of smiles.

Dabao is like a big brother: "Niuniu, you can eat whatever you want, and I'll get it after you finish eating."

Lele couldn't see Dabao's appearance as a little warm boy the most, so he reached out and pinched the other's cheeks, and at the same time did not forget to tease:

"Second sister also wants to eat, why don't you give some to second sister?"

"If you don't let go, I'm going to be angry!"

Dabao said angrily.

Er Bao and Xiao Bao looked at Big Brother at the same time.

Niuniu hurriedly put down the bowl, stepped forward and grabbed Lele's arm, pleading with all her face:
"Sister Lele, don't bully brother Dabao, okay?"

"Pfft!"

Lele glanced at Niu Niu, then at Big Brother, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Okay, for the sake of your little daughter-in-law, I'll let you go today."

Niuniu shyly hid behind Dabao.

Dabao glared at the second sister, then pulled Niuniu to sit aside and continued eating.

There are guests at home today, and his mother told him early in the morning not to quarrel with his second sister. He wants to set a good example for his younger brothers.

After the meal, Yang Lina brought out a plate of watermelon.

"Pan Jun, Pan Ying, eat watermelon!"

"Thank you auntie!"

Pan Ying couldn't eat any more after eating a piece of watermelon. She was so full that she could only stare at the watermelon.

After resting for half an hour, Xu Bin and his wife wanted to go back to continue to open the shop, and brought Tan Bangxiang a meal by the way.

Pan Jun asked Xu Jingyi to watch a movie together.

As for Pan Ying, of course she wouldn't just follow her as a light bulb, and went straight home with the excuse of going back to school.

Mother Pan is still waiting at home!
……

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Mother Pan opened the door and asked directly, "How's the matter, where's your brother?"

"My brother went to watch a movie with his future sister-in-law."

"So it's over?"

Mother Pan was overjoyed.

Pan Ying nodded: "My brother is so handsome, why do you need to ask?"

"Oh, now your dad and I can finally rest assured."

Father Pan interjected, "How is their family?"

"It's all good, it looks very friendly."

"That's good, I'm afraid of meeting such unreasonable people." Pan's mother said happily.

Pan Ying took the bag in her hand and handed it to her mother: "Mom, this is a return gift from their family."

"You are really ignorant, how can there be a reason for a man to take back the gift when he comes to the door?" Pan's mother complained.

"I don't want to accept it either. My sister-in-law and her grandmother forced it to me." Pan Ying explained.

"Okay, I've collected everything, and next time we'll double it and return it."

Father Pan helped persuade him.
