My Courtyard Refuge

Immigration

On Thursday, February 2, Xu Dong went to work as usual.

Since the declaration of the state of emergency, there has been an atmosphere of anxiety in society.

Last night, Xu Dong went online to check his family’s food quota for February. The overall food quota was only two-thirds of the previous month, which was already on the verge of starvation.

If you encounter someone with a large appetite, you will starve 100%.

But he knew that this was just the beginning. According to the experience of his previous life, in the next whole year, the food quota would only decrease, and starvation would become a norm.

When I came to the office, there was something wrong with the atmosphere. Early in the morning, a few male colleagues were moaning over there, showing no working status at all.

“Old Fang, what’s the matter with you guys?”

The old party and the others didn’t speak, but Xiang Xin gloated and said, “The car order they booked before was cancelled, and even the money was refunded.”

“What’s going on?” Xu Dong asked in surprise.

You must know that these people have been queuing for half a year, and I heard that one of them will be able to pick up the car next month, but it turned out to be nothing in the end.

Old Fang explained bitterly:

“What else could be going on? Didn’t you declare a state of emergency yesterday? The car factory has completely stopped production of various passenger cars. It is said that it will cooperate with the production of transportation vehicles.”

Only then did Xu Dong realize that this was a force majeure factor, and he could only blame these colleagues for their bad luck.

“Don’t consider used cars?”

Lao Fang shook his head: “You can’t buy second-hand cars either. I asked someone to inquire about them last night. Ninety-nine percent of the second-hand cars on the market have been booked in advance.”

“Then what are your plans?” Xu Dong was also helpless.

===Section 88===

“Not ready yet.””Uncle Fang, why don’t you guys buy a bicycle, it seems that only bicycles have no production limit.” Xiang Xin suggested sincerely.

Speaking of which, bicycles can also be regarded as a kind of livelihood material.

At present, the bicycle penetration rate in the capital is quite high. Every day when commuting to get off work, there will be a long army of bicycles on the street.

Lao Fang said unhappily: “Then it’s better to get a bus card, at least I can save some energy for my old arms and legs.”

“The bus is so crowded, I’m afraid you have nowhere to put your old arms and legs.” Xiang Xin teased.

“What do you know, little girl!”

…

In the afternoon, Gao Yuemei, who had taken a week off, suddenly appeared in the office.

“Sister Gao, why are you here?” Xiang Xin asked happily.

Gao Yuemei’s smile was a bit forced: “I’m here to see everyone.”

“Sister Gao, what happened?” Xu Dong felt something unusual.

“Yes, Miss Gao, what’s wrong with you?” Xiang Xin also asked nervously.

Gao Yuemei waved her hand: “I’m fine, it’s just…”

“Sister Gao, if you have anything to say, hurry up and say it!” Xiang Xin urged.

“I came here today to go through the formalities of resignation.” Gao Yuemei replied slowly.

Xiang Xin immediately grabbed the other’s arm and asked directly, “Sister Gao, it’s fine, why do you want to resign?”

“Our whole family is going to immigrate.” Gao Yuemei threw a shock bomb.

Xiang Xin was stunned.

“Sister Gao, which country do you plan to immigrate to?” Xu Dong asked with a frown.

Immigrants at this time might as well stay in Yanjing, at least with the other party’s family conditions, they can spend the next ten years safely without any problems.

“It’s a beautiful country on the other side of the ocean.”

“The beautiful country is not very peaceful recently, sister Gao, have you considered it?” Xu Dong persuaded.

The beautiful country has developed science and technology, especially advanced agricultural technology, and its population size is only one-fifth of that of the country. Generally speaking, it is still a qualified safe haven.

But the opponent has a fatal weakness, that is, the racial conflict is extremely sharp. As a person of yellow race, going to the beautiful country at this time is actually quite risky.

Gao Yuemei nodded: “Think about it, our old Zhang has a younger brother who immigrated to the beautiful country decades ago.

They live in a rich area, and I heard that the security is very good, and the supplies are also plentiful, unlike ours, where they can’t eat meat once a month. ”

“Sister Gao, after all, you are not familiar with the beautiful country, you really need to be more careful!” Xu Dong sighed and persuaded again.

Gao Yuemei smiled bitterly and said:

“Actually, I don’t want to leave either, but my son and his wife are like nine bulls and can’t turn back. Lao Zhang and I are just such a son, what else can we do if we don’t follow?”

Knowing that no matter how much he persuades him, he can’t get him to stay, Xu Dong can only wish the other party a smooth journey in his heart.

“Sister Gao, have you bought the tickets? By boat or by plane?” Xiang Xin finally came to his senses.

“I got it. The child is too young to take a boat. Old Zhang got the plane ticket through his relationship.”

“Then when are you leaving? I’ll see you off then.” Xiang Xin continued to ask.

“This weekend, the plane at five o’clock in the afternoon on Sunday, there is no need to send it off. You are still pregnant with your child, so don’t be tired.”

Xu Dong nodded and said, “Xiao Xiang, don’t go, let me deliver it. I have a big car and a lot of luggage.”

“Yes, Miss Gao, let the boss give you a ride!” Xiang Xin persuaded.

Gao Yuemei thought about it, and felt that it was really troublesome to take a taxi at home, so she nodded and said, “Then I will trouble you, Xiao Xu.”

“No trouble, I happen to be free on Sunday afternoon.”

For the next time, Gao Yuemei stayed in the office, packing up her personal belongings and chatting with Xiang Xin at the same time.

Xu Dong didn’t want to disturb the two of them, so he went to the north gate with an excuse.

When it was time to get off work, he suddenly received a call from Gao Yuemei, and the two made an appointment to meet in the parking lot.

“Miss Gao, is there anything else?”

“Xiao Xu, can you help Elder Sister get a few more barrels of milk powder? I don’t know what’s going on in Pretty Country. Don’t worry, I’ll exchange the rice I stocked up for you this time.”

Since Gao Yuemei revealed the news of the immigration, many colleagues, including Xiang Xin, have suggested to her the idea of ​​buying rice.

After all, everyone knows that food cannot be taken abroad.

But all of them were rejected by her with excuses. Their family is not short of money, so it is better to sell the rice for some useful supplies, such as milk powder.

Xu Dong patted the steering wheel lightly. It would be better to make himself cheaper than others, so he immediately nodded and agreed:

“No problem, Miss Gao, how do you want to change?”

“How about a hundred catties for a barrel?”

“Yes.” The price is fair, and it’s hard to say who is taking advantage.

“Well, the big sister’s family has a total of more than 1,200 catties of food, no matter how many buckets of milk powder you can take out, the rest of the food will be left to you.

I just hope that you can keep it for the eldest sister for two years. After two years, if the eldest sister does not come back, the batch of food will be at your disposal. “Gao Yuemei’s move was also well-intentioned.

She hoped to leave a way out for the whole family, and the reason why she chose Xu Dong was mainly because of his good character, coupled with his status as a rich man, he should not be ignorant of this batch of food.
