My Courtyard Refuge

Treating Guests

Another hour passed, and it was almost time to make lunch. Aunt Li suddenly stood up and asked Xu Dong:

“Xiao Xu, are you going to come out this afternoon?”

“It should come out again!”

Aunt Li nodded in satisfaction: “Okay, we’ll come back at three o’clock in the afternoon. Don’t tear down your awning. I’ll bring more people over in the afternoon.”

“It won’t be dismantled.” Xu Dong smiled wryly.

How come there is a feeling of shooting yourself in the foot with a rock, but fortunately, Xie Qun’s people are relatively peaceful and have no violent tendencies, at least they don’t have to worry about conflicts.

The uncles and aunts left in groups.

Xu Dong and Lao Jin said hello, and went back to eat first, and then he came to replace the other party after dinner, anyway, the awning cannot be short of people.

As soon as he returned to the company, Section Chief Li called Xu Dong into the office.

“How’s the situation?”

Xu Dong was not polite at all, he found a place to sit down, and then said:

“It’s not a big problem, it’s just a group of grandpas and aunts, and there’s nothing wrong with it.”

Section Chief Li said with a smile: “I didn’t expect that the two of us have the same idea.”

“This is called a hero who sees the same thing.” Xu Dong flattered him a little.

…

Things really happened as Xu Dong expected. Within two days, the food card incident quickly passed, and Yanjing regained its tranquility.

On October 15th, Xu Dong finally received the good news from Zhao Jian that Zhao Jian was promoted as he wished, and he even invited Xu Dong to come to his house as a guest.

Of course Xu Dong would not refuse, and set off with a bottle of Maotai wine from home.

At 7 o’clock in the evening, Xu Dong came to the community where Zhao Jian’s house was located, which is located on the edge of the South Fifth Ring Road., Zhao Jian personally welcomed Xu Dong into the house.

The area of ​​Zhao Jian’s house is quite large, more than 120 square meters, and it is not obvious that he is also a rich man.

“This is my wife, you can call her sister-in-law, anyway, I am older than you.”

Zhao Jian’s wife looks very virtuous, good-looking, and very temperamental.

“Hi sister-in-law.” Xu Dong greeted.

“Talk slowly, the two of you are cooking in the kitchen, so I won’t accompany you.”

Xu Dong hurriedly said politely: “No, no, sister-in-law, go do your work!”

Zhao Jian poured a cup of boiling water for Xu Dong, brought it over and said apologetically, “I’ve already finished drinking the tea at home, don’t mind it!”

“Why do you mind, Lao Zhao, where is your son?” Xu Dong took the water glass and asked casually.

He knew that Zhao Jian had a son who was under five years old, and he had seen the photos. The little guy looked very similar to Zhao Jian, a handsome young man.

“At his grandparents’ house, both of us have jobs, so we don’t have time.”

“That’s right!” Xu Dong sipped his saliva: “Old Zhao, I forgot to ask you last time. What position did you get promoted this time?”

“Didn’t I say it?” Zhao Jian patted his head.

“Definitely not, otherwise I wouldn’t have the slightest impression.”

Zhao Jian smiled embarrassedly: “It’s not a popular position, just a small section chief below.”

“Repayment?” Xu Dong said sourly.

At the same time, my heart is full of envy. In the current environment, Xialiang Group is an out-and-out good unit, and the weight of this section chief is not light.

Zhao Jian explained: “I’m also lucky. Recently, the group has expanded greatly, and many good seats have been vacated.”

“Old Zhao, congratulations, Gou Fugui, I will never forget you!” Xu Dong joked.

“Don’t worry, which one of us is with the other? In the future, just come to me if you have anything to do. I will definitely help if I can.” Zhao Jian said in a big way.

He also mainly took a fancy to Xu Dong’s status as a rich man. Through the cigarette incident, he knew that the other party’s energy was not small, and he was completely worthy of deep friendship.

“Then thank you in advance.” Xu Dong quickly settled the matter.

The two chatted for more than ten minutes, and dinner was ready.

Zhao Jian’s wife cooked six dishes in total, although there was only one meat dish, but it was quite hearty.

“Old Zhao, I brought wine, drink mine!” Xu Dong said.

“Okay, drink yours.”

Zhao Jian saw that it was Maotai wine, so he didn’t insist on it anymore. Maotai wine was much better than the wine he prepared himself.

When the dishes were ready, Xu Dong saw that Zhao Jian’s wife was going out, so he stood up quickly and asked:

“Sister-in-law, where are you going? Stay and eat together?”

“She went to my father’s side to see the child, and wait for us to eat our food.” Zhao Jian pushed Xu Dong on the chair and explained.

“Yes, the child is at his grandfather’s side, so I don’t worry if I don’t go and see.”

Zhao Jian’s wife left after speaking, and only Xu Dong was left in the room.

“Old Zhao, look at this matter…” Xu Dong said embarrassedly.

“It’s okay, I just have something to tell you.” Zhao Jian filled the wine glass in front of Xu Dong smoothly.

“What’s the matter, making it so mysterious?”

Zhao Jian didn’t answer, raised his wine glass and said, “No hurry, come on, let’s touch one first.”

“bump……”

After a few glasses of wine and a few mouthfuls of food, Xu Dong brought up the old story again: “Can we talk about it now?”

“Old Xu, is your family short of food?” Zhao Jian asked directly.

“How much can you get?”

The other party works in Xialiang Group, Xu Dong believes that with the position in front of him, it should not be difficult to get some food.

Zhao Jian stretched out a finger.

Xu Dong tentatively asked, “One hundred or one thousand?”

“It’s a thousand catties. If it’s only a hundred catties, I’ll give it to you directly.” Zhao Jian picked up a piece of potato.

“So much?” Xu Dong was a little surprised.

“You don’t have to be surprised. This is a small benefit within our company. It is a normal loss. Don’t worry about breaking the law.” Zhao Jian explained.

“Does sister-in-law know?”

“Aren’t you talking nonsense, otherwise why would I push her away? My father-in-law has been looking for me several times.” Zhao Jian sighed.

“Then you still…”

===Section 66===

Zhao Jian shook his head: “You don’t understand. Although these grains are not illegal, they are not visible. My father-in-law’s side has a lot of people talking, and I’m afraid that they are not greedy enough, and if they don’t make it right, they will be in constant trouble in the future.”

“this……”

Xu Dong hesitated, his family is not short of food, but it is difficult to express it, after all, who is not short of food right now?

“Would you like it, just a word!”

Xu Dong gritted his teeth: “Okay, I’ll take it, what’s the price?”

Zhao Jian waved his hand, “It’s hurtful to talk about money. Can you get me some alcohol and cigarettes? Yogurt would be even better. I’ll use this batch of food to pay off the debt.”

Xu Dong nodded clearly, so the root cause is here, I said, how can there be pie in the sky.

However, he is not at a disadvantage in this transaction, the price of tobacco and alcohol has almost risen to the end,And food prices are still far away!

“No problem, I’ll do as you said. It’s just that these things will not be available for a while, and it may take a while.” Xu Dong pretended to apologize.

Zhao Jian was very happy: “You don’t have to worry about this, just take my time here.”

“Then we’ll make a deal.”

“OK, you can come over tomorrow and bring the food back.”
