My Courtyard Refuge

Super Sandstorm

Time flies, and it is Wednesday, May 11th in a blink of an eye.

When he went to work in the morning, Xu Dong specially brought two cans of baby milk powder, which had been delayed for five days, and today was the day to complete the deal with Gao Yuemei.

When she arrived at the office, Gao Yuemei had been waiting for a long time.

“Xiao Xu, you are here, have you brought the milk powder?”

“Here it is!”

Xu Dong picked up the bag on the handle and put it on the desk in front of him.

Gao Yuemei couldn’t wait to open the bag, and there were indeed two cans of unopened milk powder inside. There were still English letters printed on the cans, and the milk powder was undoubtedly imported.

Look at the production date again, it was in October last year, and it must not have expired.

“Xiao Xu, big sister is really thankful.”

After Gao Yuemei put away the milk powder, she immediately transferred 16,000 yuan to Xu Dong.

“Miss Gao, you are being polite. We are all colleagues, so it’s nothing to be busy.” Xu Dong said politely.

A smile finally appeared on Gao Yuemei’s face, and Xu Dong felt that helping others occasionally was a good experience, after all, giving is happier than receiving.

“Xiao Xu, the elder sister has prepared some thank you gifts for you, and they have been placed under your desk. Please pay attention later.”

After Gao Yuemei finished speaking, before Xu Dong refused, she hurried away with her bag.

Xu Dong didn’t care. He came to his desk and looked down. There was indeed a black plastic bag under the desk.

After all, he helped others, so Xu Dong felt at ease to accept this gift.

Opening the bag, there were two bottles of Moutai inside. Looking at the labels, Xu Dong searched the price on the Internet. A bottle of 53° five-star Moutai costs 1,200 yuan.

Definitely a great gift!

“Do you want to sell Sister Gao two cans of milk powder later?” Xu Dong hesitated secretly.

Forget it, talk about it later.

…

The next day, a sandstorm suddenly blew up in several states in the northwest, and then all the way eastward, spanning thousands of kilometers to the East China Sea.

Among them, the capital area is particularly serious.

At 10:45 in the morning, the sandstorm began to reach the western suburbs of Yanjing, and then directly swept the entire Yanjing city in less than ten minutes.

Its instantaneous wind force almost reached level ten, causing passers-by to stagger, looking around, it was a yellow world.

In fact, since March, due to the continuous deterioration of the drought, sandstorms have been blowing up in the Yanjing area one after another, but none of them are as exaggerated as today.

The only benefit brought by the sandstorm is that the power company is on holiday. In fact, not only Yanjing Power Company, but 99% of the enterprises in the urban area, as well as schools, have all gone on an emergency holiday.

Xu Dong is neither a leader, so he does not need to lead by example; nor is he a temporary worker, so he can only bear the burden of hard work.

So things like being on duty basically have nothing to do with him.

As soon as he received the holiday notice, he left the power company in a big Benz impatiently.

Unfortunately, the visibility on the road was so low that there were traffic jams everywhere. Xu Dong drove for more than two hours to get home, which took almost five times longer than usual.

===Section 34===

“Honey, I’m back.”

Xu Dong shouted into the yard while spitting the sand in his mouth.

“Dad, wipe it for you.” Ke Ke trotted over and handed over a wet towel.

“Good boy!” Xu Dong was very relieved, he couldn’t help but rubbed the hair of the little padded jacket, and then asked, “Where’s Lele?”

According to the usual practice, the twin sisters usually come out to meet their father together, but today they made an exception.

Coco answered bluntly: “My sister’s eyes are fascinated by the sand, and grandma is blowing her eyes!”

Xu Dong wiped his face indiscriminately, and soon walked towards his parents’ bedroom.

“What’s the matter, is it serious?”

Mama Xu looked up at Xu Dong, and whispered:

“It’s not a big problem. I have already seen the sand, and I can take it out immediately.”

Xiao Lele also heard her father’s voice, and immediately said wronged: “Dad, my eyes hurt.”

“Don’t be afraid, it will be fine soon.”

“Father, will I become blind?”

“No, Papa assures you.”

“Dad, I want to eat prawns.”

“Uh, Dad, think of a way and make you prawns tomorrow.”

“Dad, I still want to…”

“Be good, Lele, don’t move.” Xu Ma suddenly said, interrupting the interaction between father and daughter.

Dad Xu was holding a flashlight at the side, thinking that Xu Dong was in the way and doing nothing, so he urged him to go upstairs to help watch the triplets.

The triplets are already two years old, and they are lively and active. Usually Xu Ma and Yang Lina can’t take care of them.

In the master bedroom on the second floor, Yang Lina was teaching the triplets to recite ancient poems, but the effect was not very good, the three little guys didn’t cooperate at all, they just cared about playing.

“Dabao, Erbao, Xiaobao, come to Dad!” Xu Dong stretched out his arms towards the triplets as soon as he entered the room.

“Dad, hug… hug…”

Dabao was the most active, “running” over crookedly with his short legs.

Xu Dong quickly stepped forward and hugged him, and then smacked the little face hard, causing the little guy to “giggle” into laughter.

“Are Lele’s eyes fixed?” Yang Lina stood up and asked.

“Not yet!” Xu Dong shook his head.

“I’ll go down and have a look, you take care of the three of them.” Yang Lina went downstairs after giving instructions.

Xu Dong carried the triplets to the bed one by one, and then began to teach them to build blocks. The father and son had a great time playing.

About ten minutes later, Yang Lina came back again, and said directly to Xu Dong after entering the door:

“It’s okay, the sand has been taken out.”

Xu Dong felt relieved at last, and immediately asked why:

“Okay, why did you lose your eyes?”

“It’s not because of ‘Huahua’. Lele didn’t see ‘Huahua’ after returning home, so she insisted on going out with me to look for it, but the cat couldn’t find it, but she lost her eyes.” Yang Lina said helplessly.

“This child, don’t worry, did Hua Hua finally find it?”

Yang Lina scolded with a smile: “I ran back, covered in ashes, I shouldn’t have bought a raccoon cat back then, it’s too wild.”

“Wild spot is good, only wild spot can catch mice.” Xu Dong muttered.

“What did you say?”

“It’s nothing. Is there any food in the kitchen? I haven’t had lunch yet?” Xu Dong asked, rubbing his hungry belly.

When she heard that her husband was still hungry, Yang Lina felt distressed, and couldn’t help but scold her:

“Really, tell me earlier if you haven’t eaten, I’ll get you a bowl of noodles.”

After Yang Lina finished speaking, she went downstairs immediately, and Xu Dong reminded from behind: “Don’t put potatoes!”

“Understood, it’s just you who have too many things.”

After a while, Yang Lina came up with a steaming bowl of noodles. The snow-white noodles were covered with fried bacon with garlic, which whetted the appetite.

“Eat it while it’s hot!”

Xu Dong immediately jumped off the bed, took the bowl and chopsticks, and smiled flatteringly: “My wife, you are so kind.”

“Don’t be silly, go and turn on the solar energy after eating, the power went out just now.” Yang Lina reminded.
