My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 697 Reunion
May 5, at 18:[-] in the morning.

After thirteen days of sailing, the group finally landed at Qingniwa Port. Seeing the mountains of gray snow near the port, everyone's hearts sank.

In the evening of the next day, Xu Dong finally returned to his courtyard. As soon as he put down his luggage, he accompanied Pan's mother to the cemetery to worship Pan Ying and Chen Lei.

Pan's mother stroked the photo on her daughter's tombstone, and cried on the spot. No matter how much she tried to persuade Yang's mother and others, she couldn't persuade her, and finally passed out from crying.

Everyone rushed Pan's mother to the hospital.

After returning from the hospital, Xu Dong sent messages to his old friends one by one, indicating that he had returned to Yanjing, and by the way invited everyone to come over for a weekend.

Immediately afterwards, he first visited Aunt Wang's house.

In terms of closeness, Aunt Wang's family should be ranked first. Even if their family moved to Sydney, Mama Xu would call her every now and then.

The relationship between the two has been maintained very well.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Xiao Xu, I guessed it was you."

Wang Xiujuan was smiling all over her face.

"Aunt Wang, are you in good health? My mother asked me to say hello to you on her behalf."

Xu Dong said politely.

Wang Xiujuan rubbed her temples: "I'm old, my body is useless, and my blood pressure is a little high recently. How are your mother and father doing?"

"It's okay, there are no serious illnesses, but there are many minor illnesses."

"You have to pay attention to it. Small problems are particularly tormenting."

"Who says no? Aunt Wang, you should take care of your health. My mother wants to invite you to Sydney as a guest!" Xu Dong responded.

"I can't go anymore, I can't live without people at home."

Wang Xiuli sighed.

Xu Dong motioned Captain Zhou to put down the gift: "Aunt Wang, these are some souvenirs that my mother specially prepared for you, you must accept them!"

"Okay, Auntie won't be polite to your mother."

Wang Xiuli did not refuse.

She knew that the other party had a sense of proportion in giving gifts, and she never caused trouble for their family.

"Our two families know each other so well, it's hard to be polite." Xu Dong echoed.

Wang Xiujuan pulled Xu Dong to sit down.

The nanny helped to make a cup of tea.

Xu Dong quickly asked: "Aunt Wang, why didn't you see my sister-in-law? And Xiaoyong and Xiaoxue, why aren't you at home?"

"I forgot to tell you." Wang Xiujuan patted her thigh, "Your brother Zhang was just transferred to Heizhou last month, and Zheng Yan took her two children to visit relatives."

"Brother Zhang has been promoted again?"

"It's just the deputy governor, it's barely a promotion!"

Wang Xiujuan said modestly.

"Aunt Wang, congratulations to your family. In a few years, Brother Zhang will definitely be in charge."

Xu Dong quickly sent his congratulations.

Wang Xiujuan waved her hand: "The place in Heizhou is too remote, I would rather he stay in the capital as his deputy district chief, and he can help take care of the family at ordinary times."

"No matter how remote it is, it's still a state!"

Xu Dong reminded.

Being able to reach the level of deputy governor is equivalent to half a foot into the core of Daxia's power.

Of course, the state capitals in the vast inland areas, including Heizhou, must have lower gold content.

Especially in many western regions, population migration has been completed long ago, and official institutions have almost been reduced to retirement homes, leaving only symbolic meaning.

Many young cadres would rather go overseas to work hard for their qualifications than go to a nursing home to chat and drink tea with others.

"Let's not talk about this, Xiao Xu, how many days are you going to stay this time?"

"About a week, but I have to come again in July. Aunt Wang, the flood season is coming soon, do you want to go back to Sydney with me?"

"Forget it." Wang Xiuli said cautiously: "Your brother Zhang just took office not long ago, so doing this will not have a good impact. We can't help him too much. The only thing we can do is not to make trouble."

Xu Dong couldn't help feeling emotional.

No wonder Zhang Ge can walk so steadily and so far. The support of the family is really important.

"Xiao Xu, Auntie wants to ask you something..."

Wang Xiujuan said suddenly.

"Aunt Wang, don't beg, you just ask." Xu Dong hastily said politely.

"I want to entrust Xiaoxue to you. Can your family help Auntie take care of her for a while?"

The reason why Wang Xiuli chose her little granddaughter.

The main reason is that the granddaughter is young and a girl, so she is not too sensitive, and it is not easy to attract attention.

Xu Dong immediately understood the other party's concerns: "No problem, Dabao and the others will definitely be crazy about seeing Xiaoxue."

"Xiao Xu, your family has many children, so don't bully our Xiaoxue!"

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Wang Xiuli joked.

"Look at what you said, Nana likes Xiaoxue so much, as long as she's around, no one would dare to break ground on Tai Sui." Xu Dong smiled.

"It's a pity, the two of them don't have the fate of mother and daughter."

Wang Xiujuan hinted.

One of the two of them is in politics and the other is in business, and both of them are leaders, which means that the two are destined to be unable to marry.

"It's simple, let Xiaoxue recognize Nana as her godmother later, won't that be all right?"

Xu Dong thought of a way to avoid future troubles.

Wang Xiujuan nodded in satisfaction: "That's a good idea, our Xiaoxue is really lucky!"

"Haha, Nana will definitely be very happy when she hears the news."

Xu Dong casually agreed.

In fact, there was no need for Aunt Wang to remind them, their family had long given up on marrying each other, unless he donated both companies, which was obviously impossible.

The same is true for Yang Lina. Even if she likes Xiaoxue again, she will not make fun of her own property.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was Saturday.

Xu Dong set up a large table of meals at home.

Except Director Li and Zhao Jian who made it clear that they could not attend the appointment due to busy work, everyone else agreed, including Aunt Liao and Song Lin, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Xiang Xin was the first to come, and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Boss, I have completed the transfer procedures, when will you be able to leave here?"

"If there is no accident, the original plan is to board the ship next Wednesday. What position did you transfer to Xiaoxiang? Did you lose the section chief?"

"Hey, look at my happy face, you know it's definitely not lost, but the new unit is just a power supply station, and it can't be compared with the head office."

"The power supply station is not bad, is it? It has all the benefits it should have." Xu Dong comforted.

"That's all I can think of."

"Where is Ren Li? You left, is he taking over?"

Xu Dong inquired.

Xiang Xin shook his head: "It's a pity that Ren Li was cut off at the last moment."

"Didn't Lao Gu help?"

Xu Dong frowned.

"Why didn't it help? It's a pity that the arm can't twist the thigh. The new section chief was arranged by the city bureau and said that he would fully cooperate with the next flood control work. You know, Ren Li, that he has the ability, but after all, he is a bit short."

Xiang Xin said it very tactfully.

Ren Li has only one arm left, so it must be inconvenient to do things. This is his biggest shortcoming.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
