My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 298 Homecoming

Returning to Yanjing from Mindong City, the group took the expressway, and they were as close to the coastal areas as possible.

The coastal areas are densely populated, the roads and other infrastructure are well maintained, and the public security environment is safer, which is much faster than going inland.

In order to catch up with time, the big guys had their lunch and dinner in the car. They drove for eight hours and finally arrived at Yandu City in Jiangzhou.

Before the nine o'clock curfew, I found a hotel in the city to stay.

In the underground parking lot of the hotel, Xu Dong patted Xiao Zheng on the shoulder and said:
"I've worked hard today. I'll stay to watch the night. You go back to your room and have a good sleep. I'll depend on you tomorrow!"

"Section Chief Xu, I'm still young and I can handle it."

"Don't risk your own life. You are not the only one in the car. It is best to take a hot bath before going to bed to recharge your spirits. This is responsible for yourself and us." Xu Dong advised.

Of course Xiao Zheng understands this truth, but reason is one thing, attitude is another, and the two should not be confused.

Old Fang interjected, "Why don't I come to watch the night? I'm not like you young people. I don't sleep much at night and can't sleep. I just happen to be able to watch the car by the way."

"Old Fang, you can pull it down, with me and Lao Xu here, how could I let you out to watch the night, if you are really in danger, you don't even have the ability to resist!" Gu Haiyuan analyzed.

"Who said that you treat the gun on my body as a display?" Lao Fang said in disbelief.

"It's more dangerous to shoot." Gu Haiyuan pouted.

Xu Dong nodded: "Old Gu is very reasonable, Lao Fang, don't be brave. This is good, Lao Gu and I will watch the first half of the night and the second half of the night, at least we can sleep for a few hours."

"Then it's settled like this. I'll watch the second half of the night, and you, Old Xu, will watch the first half of the night." Gu Haiyuan agreed.

"Okay, don't come too early, just come and replace me at two o'clock!"

Gu Haiyuan nodded.

After washing and washing, Xu Dong got into the cab with the quilt in his arms. The temperature at night was more than 20 degrees below zero. Without the quilt, the jacket on his body would not be able to bear it.

Not long after he lay down, Lao Fang knocked on the car door.

"Xiao Xu, open the car door."

Xu Dong opened the car door and asked curiously, "Old Fang, why did you come here? Do you want to share our troubles with me?"

"It's beautiful, I'm here to give you this."

After finishing speaking, Lao Fang took out a leather water mug from his arms, and stuffed it directly into Xu Dong's hand. The water mug was already filled with hot water, and it felt a little hot to the touch.

"Where did you find this thing?" Xu Dong asked holding a water mug.

"Borrowed from the front desk of the hotel."

Heating has not been fully popularized in the south, coupled with frequent power cuts and blackouts, so water covers have almost become a daily necessity for families.

"Good stuff, thank you."

Lao Fang waved his hand: "You keep vigil, I'm going back."

"Wait!" Xu Dong called to stop him.

"What's the matter, is there anything else?" Lao Fang looked confused.

Xu Dongshun grabbed a bag of beef jerky and threw it over: "I'll add a supper for you."

"Beef jerky, I'll rub it, and there are such good things, why don't you take them out earlier?" Lao Fang swears directly.

"Keep your voice down, put your things in your pocket quickly, don't let Lao Gu and the others see, this is the last bag left on me." Xu Dong urged.

"Hey... you are too interesting!"

After sending Lao Fang away, Xu Dong put on a quilt and made a video call to his family. Since he was on a business trip, no matter how late it was, he would report to his family every day that he was safe.

Without a phone, Yang Lina couldn't sleep at all.

The call was successfully connected, and it was Dabao who appeared in the video, and there was student Niuniu standing beside him, but the little guy had an anxious expression on his face.

"Dad, did you see me?"

"I see, it will be nine o'clock soon, Dabao, why don't you go to bed?" Xu Dong asked directly, usually at home, the three brothers usually go to bed after eight o'clock.

"I want to accompany Niu Niu. Niu Niu's mother went to see Niu Niu's father today, and she hasn't come back yet to pick her up." Dabao explained.

Xu Dong frowned: "Where's your mother?"

"Mom went to put Niu Niu's bath water. Grandma said that Niu Niu will sleep at our house tonight." Dabao replied.

"Niu Niu, can you hear Uncle?"

Niuniu leaned closer to the screen and nodded.

"Niuniu, Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it's hard to buy tickets now. Your mother probably didn't get a ticket, or missed the bus. She will definitely be back tomorrow, so don't worry." Xu Dong comforted him.

"Uncle Xu, is what you said true?" Niuniu's eyes were full of hope.

Dabao rushed to reply: "It must be true. My father keeps his word and never lied to us."

"Wow, awesome."

Brother Dabao's words still carry a lot of weight, and the little girl finally showed a smile.

After chatting with the two children for about 10 minutes, Yang Lina finally appeared.

"Mom, mom, dad's phone number." Dabao ran to his mother holding the phone.

Yang Lina quickly wiped the water off her hands, and then took the phone. At the same time, Madam Xu also came over to pick up Niuniu, the little girl was going to take a bath.

As for Dabao, he was rushed back to the bedroom.

"Husband, where have you been?"

"I just arrived in Yandu, and I'll be back tomorrow."

Yang Lina smiled: "Don't worry too much, be careful on the road."

"Got it, wife, what's going on with this girl?" Xu Dong asked.

"Oh, Niuniu's father has to work overtime for the Chinese New Year this year, so he can't come back. Her mother took a special car to Rong'an New District this morning. Niuniu let our family take care of it."

"Did you say you would come back today?"

"That's what I said, maybe it was delayed because of something, maybe the couple haven't seen each other for a long time, and they want to live a two-person world!" Yang Lina teased.

"It's fine."

……

Rest overnight.

At dawn the next day, the truck set off again.

It was a tough day, starting at [-]:[-] in the morning and continuing until [-]:[-] in the evening. Except for refueling and going to the toilet, I basically didn't stop much.

Arriving in the southern suburbs of Yanjing, the group breathed a sigh of relief, and finally returned within the stipulated time, and the goods were all safe and sound.

An hour later, my courtyard arrived.

Xu Dong called in advance, and Xu Ma and others had already waited in the big square next door. You can't park at will on the road, only here is the most suitable place.

"Mom, I'm here." Xu Dong hurriedly waved in the direction of his mother after getting off the car.

Mama Xu came here in a scooter with Xu Bin and Papa Xu on board. After all, it was more than 900 kilograms of cargo, and Mama Xu couldn't handle it by herself.

"Have you had dinner yet, why don't you have a meal at home before going back to the company?" Mother Xu asked concerned.

Xu Dong shook his head: "I've eaten, it's important to get down to business first, it's not too late."

"Yes, the company's leaders are still waiting, so there is no delay." Lao Fang echoed.

Mama Xu didn't insist any longer.

Then everyone worked together, and in less than 5 minutes, more than 900 kilograms of goods were unloaded on the square.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
