My Courtyard Refuge

Group Friends Seeking Help

After getting the food card and returning home, Yang Lina, who couldn’t bear the heat, went to the vegetable garden to pick a watermelon, which weighed about ten catties.

Mama Xu said pleasantly, “Is the watermelon ripe?”

“It’s almost there, let’s open one and have a look.”

Because there are triplets, iced watermelon is not suitable, so Yang Lina simply cut it with a knife.

“Crack…”

Xu Ma came over to take a look, and boasted: “This melon grows well, and anyone who looks at it will have an appetite.”

Yang Lina first cut a slice for her mother-in-law to let her taste whether it is sweet or not.

“Sweet!” Mama Xu said with satisfaction.

“Ma Ma… I want seven too.” Dabao looked at the watermelon eagerly, and his saliva was about to flow down.

Yang Lina cut a small slice for each of the triplets,In the end, I also cut a large piece for myself, and after one bite, the heat disappeared.

“Ma Ma, I still have seven more.” It may be the first time to eat watermelon, and Dabao fell in love with the taste immediately.

“Be good, Dabao, we’ll eat in the afternoon.” Yang Lina comforted her.

Children had no right to speak, so Dabao could only watch helplessly as the watermelon was wrapped in plastic wrap and finally put into the refrigerator.

Next, Yang Lina went to the vegetable garden to pick two watermelons about ten catties, and planned to send them to Luyang. After all, as the elders, they should not break their promises in front of the younger generations.

After packing, Mama Xu came over with three dried chickens and a pack of dried seafood: “Send these as well!”

Although Yang Lina felt a little uncomfortable, she still took it. As a mother of five children, she could understand her mother-in-law’s approach.

At the post office, Yang Lina chose the most expensive domestic express delivery. Although the price is high, it is not easy to lose items. Given the current environment, it is much more reliable than private express delivery companies.

After sending the package, Yang Lina called Ma Lingling, and then sent the courier tracking number to ask the other party to sign for it in time.

When I got home, Mother Xu had already prepared lunch.

At the same time, Xu Dong was also eating lunch. As time went by, the food standard in the cafeteria continued to decrease.

Today, the meat dishes have long been discontinued, and even the vegetarian dishes have begun to be restricted. Fortunately, there is only one meal at noon, and Xu Dong can bear it for the time being.

While eating and swiping his phone, suddenly someone in the wechat group of the rotation training class sent him a private message.

Xu Dong opened it and saw that the person who sent the message was Zhao Jian, who used to live in the same dormitory, and the other party was an employee of Xialiang Group. Xu Dong had a good impression of this person.

Zhao Jian’s message was very simple. He asked Xu Dong if he had time, and if he had time, he would call back.

===Section 64===

Xu Dong made a voice call directly.

“Hey, Old Xu, is that you?” Zhao Jian’s voice came.

“It’s me, is there anything urgent you need to do with me?” Xu Dong went straight to the point.

“I really have something to do with you…”

The other party seemed to be a little embarrassed, and spoke in a nonchalant manner, while Xu Dong was more direct.

“What’s the matter, tell me quickly, what’s the relationship between us, don’t worry about mother-in-law.”

Although several months have passed, Xu Dong, as the group leader, often “shows his face” in the group, and the relationship with the group friends has not declined but has increased.

“Cough!” Zhao Jian cleared his throat and said, “Old Xu, then I’ll just say it straight, I have a chance for promotion…”

“This is a good thing!” Xu Dong interrupted.

Zhao Jian smiled bitterly and said:

“I also know it’s a good thing, but this opportunity is not safe. I want to have a relationship, but I can’t get anything good, so I can only come here to ask you with the cheek.”

Xu Dong thought about it for a while, and then said carefully:

“I can get some alcohol and tobacco, but I can only see the situation for the rest.”

Zhao Jian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly begged: “I have enough wine here, can you get me some more cigarettes, I am willing to pay a high price.”

“How much do you want, let me try it here.”

“Can I get five? As long as the cigarettes are not too bad.” Zhao Jian replied immediately.

“Five items should be fine, when do you want them?” Xu Dong asked.

Zhao Jian tentatively asked, “Can I do it tomorrow morning?”

“Okay, then you come to our company to find me tomorrow morning, and I will give you the cigarettes then.” Xu Dong said bluntly.

“Old Xu, you have helped me a lot, thank you so much.”

“I’ve said it all, you’re welcome.” Xu Dong said politely.

Zhao Jian said solemnly: “Okay, I will remember your favor, Old Xu.”

“Hey, is there anything else? I’m eating here, so I’m fine.”

“That won’t bother you, see you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow!”

…

After get off work, Xu Dong didn’t go to Panjiayuan, but went home directly.

There isn’t much good stuff in Panjiayuan recently, not to mention meat, even food is much less. He plans to visit again after a while.

Early the next morning, Xu Dong took five packs of Fuxing cigarettes from the warehouse, and moved four boxes of yogurt. These yogurts were about to expire and needed to be disposed of as soon as possible.

Not long after arriving at the company, Xu Dong received a call from Zhao Jian, and the two made an appointment to meet at the parking lot of the power company.

“Old Zhao, this way.”

Zhao Jian drove the car over, and Xu Dong found that the other party was also wearing a police uniform.

The two sides recounted the past, and then Xu Dong moved five sticks of cigarettes and four boxes of milk to the other party’s car.

Zhao Jian looked at the four boxes of yogurt in surprise and said, “Old Xu, what are you?”

“I happened to come across four boxes of yogurt, so I’ll bring them together for you. Don’t worry, there’s still one or two months before the expiration date!” Xu Dong explained.

“Why is this so embarrassing?” Zhao Jian was moved, “Old Xu, you should take the yogurt back. I remember that your family has a lot of children and you need this.”

Xu Dong waved his hand and said evasively: “Yogurt has no nutrition, it doesn’t matter whether you drink it or not, so you are welcome.”

Are you kidding me?Mother Xu and Yang Lina strictly forbid the children to drink some expired yogurt. If they can’t deal with it, it will only make Mark cheaper in the end.

“You tell me what to say!”

“Okay, transfer the money to me quickly, I have to go back to work!” Xu Dong deliberately interrupted.

In the end, Zhao Jian transferred a total of 21,500 yuan to Xu Dong, 3,500 yuan each for Fuxing cigarettes, and Xu Dong gave a discounted price of 1,000 yuan per box of yogurt because it was about to expire.

“Old Xu, don’t refuse to invite you to dinner later.”

After getting the cigarettes and having a pleasant surprise, Zhao Jian looked much more relaxed.

“No problem, just drink your promotion wine.” Xu Dong smiled.

“Not necessarily!” Zhao Jian said modestly, even if he didn’t give a gift, he was 60% sure.

“Be humble, don’t I understand you, Old Zhao, the most stable person in our dormitory, if you are not sure, would you be so concerned, this time it will definitely be fine.” Xu Dong teased.

Zhao Jian could only bow his hands: “Then I will lend you a good word.”

After seeing off Zhao Jian, Xu Dong went to the north gate along the way.

With the implementation of the food card system in the past two days, the security problem has suddenly deteriorated a lot. As the captain, he needs to lead by example.

Otherwise, if something happens, it will be difficult to explain.
