My Courtyard Refuge

Temporary tasks

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, a week has passed.

At seven o’clock in the evening, Aunt Zhang had already prepared dinner, and Zhang Enya knocked on the door of Xu Dong’s bedroom.

“Uncle Xu, it’s time to eat.”

“Got it, get up right away.”

Xu Dong rubbed his eyes, this upside-down life day and night made him feel deeply tired, as if his body had been hollowed out.

“Uncle Xu, don’t stay in bed anymore!”

After a week of adaptation, Zhang Enya gradually got used to the life here, and rarely mentioned her parents anymore.

Perhaps the children of the poor are the head of the family early. Although the little guy is not yet seven years old, he is already a grandma.A reliable little helper.

Usually washing dishes, mopping the floor, and even washing clothes, the little guy does it well. Before going to bed, he would help his grandparents rub their shoulders and beat their backs. He is very sensible.

Ever since there was such a caring little padded jacket at home, both Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang have been smiling all day long.

Even if Xu Dong leaves one day, there is no need to worry about the life of the old couple. This is a warm family of three.

After washing up, everyone began to eat dinner.

The staple food for dinner is sweet potato porridge. Sweet sweet potatoes are the only sweet taste that many people can eat. This has also led to a gradual upward trend in the price of sweet potatoes.

In addition to sweet potato porridge, Aunt Zhang also fried three dishes, one stewed tofu with dried cabbage and shrimp, one stewed radish, and the last one was diced salted radish.

Because of the lack of oil, stir-frying has almost withdrawn from the stage of history, and stew has become the mainstream of the current diet.

After eating stews for more than a week, Xu Dong missed his own stir-fried dishes very much.

“Enya, eat more shrimps, eat this to grow taller.” Xu Dong picked seven or eight shrimps for the little guy.

“Thank you uncle!”

Aunt Zhang said embarrassingly: “Xiao Xu, don’t pinch her. You should eat more yourself. You brought the shrimp, so you ate the least.”

“Auntie, I’m not being polite to you. I’m about to throw up after eating shrimp, so just leave me alone.” Xu Dong sighed.

Uncle Zhang asked curiously: “Xiao Xu, how many shrimps have you got? Are you tired of eating such good things?”

“A lot, a lot. When I go back, I’ll send you some every month. Don’t wrong Enya.”

“Why is this so embarrassing? Shrimp are so expensive…” Aunt Zhang quickly evaded.

Xu Dong interrupted her, “I told the uncle earlier that Enya and I are destined, and I will not ignore her in the future.”

“Enya, why don’t you hurry up and thank you Uncle Xu.” Uncle Zhang urged, what he fears most now is that the old couple will leave early, and the little granddaughter will be left unattended by then.

“Thank you, Uncle Xu.” The little guy was very obedient.

“You’re welcome. Let your grandpa and grandma take you to your uncle’s house when you have time. Didn’t your elder sister Keke and elder sister Lele promise you to play games with you?”

During the video a few days ago, Xu Dong had already introduced the little guy to the whole family. The Keke sisters were very enthusiastic about this special “praise” sister.

The three became good sisters across the screen.

…

After dinner, Xu Dong specially put on the stab-proof suit.

There was an unexpected incident last night, a small fishing boat did not know how to dodge the patrol boats, and sneaked ashore under their noses.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, so it did not cause serious consequences. Otherwise, if seven or eight people from the Southern Dynasty were allowed to go ashore, I don’t know how much trouble it would cause.

Although there was no danger in this arrest process, Xu Dong was shocked into a cold sweat, and it also reminded him of the stab-proof suit that was forgotten in the suitcase.

This is also considered safe.

When he came to the beach, Xu Dong first came to Lao Qin’s side. Today, Lao Qin’s class is in vain.

“Old Qin, how much did you get today?”

Lao Qin didn’t speak, but first compared three, and then compared five.

Xu Dong frowned and said, “It’s more than double the number from yesterday. Is there any big action on the other side today?”

“That’s right.” Lao Qin nodded, “This time, we conducted a blanket search of the entire city. I heard that the results were great, and many illegal immigrants were caught.”

“As long as there are results, I really hope this matter can end soon.”

“Old Xu, we have confirmed news about our matter. This time we will postpone it for a week, and we will be able to go back by the end of the month at the latest.” Lao Qin said with a smile.

“It’s still half a month away, it’s tough!” Xu Dong sighed.

No matter how difficult it is, we must endure it.

The next day, Director Ji arrested Xu Dong before he could lie down.

“Director, what can I do for you?”

“I have a document here, you go to the General Administration for me.” Director Ji directly ordered without talking nonsense.

“Uh, can’t it be replaced by someone else? I have to catch up on sleep during the day and continue to work the night shift at night!”

“Others have tasks, but you have time, don’t think I don’t know, every night in the middle of the night, you doze off secretly.”

Xu Dong had a thick skin, and he didn’t panic at all after being caught: “Director, I’ll go!”

“Go early and come back early, the main city is in chaos right now, don’t wander around if you have nothing to do,” Director Ji warned.

“Don’t worry about my work, there will be absolutely no problems.” Xu Dong promised.

It’s impossible to just wander around, but he can drop by the Sailing Center to visit Lao Xie. Speaking of which, the two had an agreement before that they would get together.

It’s just that the plans don’t change quickly, there are no vacations, everything is a luxury.

Director Ji nodded, and then handed over the document to the other party, “You can just hand it over to the monitoring room. I’ve already called, and when you get there, just report my name.”

“Understood, but Director, how can I get there?”

“At 9:30 there will be a regular shuttle bus passing by the door, you sit in the bureau for a while,There’s almost an hour left. ”

“Then I’ll go back and change.”

After Xu Dong finished speaking, he left. It was true to change clothes, and it was also true to bring a small gift to Lao Xie.

Today is Saturday, and Zhang Enya doesn’t have to go to school. She is helping grandma wash the dishes early in the morning, with a small bench under her feet.

Aunt Zhang was washing clothes in the bathroom. When she saw Xu Dong come back, she quickly asked, “Xiao Xu, is Director Ji looking for something urgent?”

“Go to the other side to send a document.” Xu Dong replied.

“When are you coming back?”

“In the evening, I’ll stop by to see a friend.”

Aunt Zhang didn’t ask any more questions.

Xu Dong went back to the bedroom, put some cigarettes and alcohol in his backpack, and a pound of dried shrimp, after thinking about it, he took a pack of beef jerky.

After locking the door, he waved to the little guy.

“Enya, come here.”

The little guy quickly dried his hands with a rag, then ran up to Xu Dong excitedly, and called out sweetly: “Uncle Xu!”

Xu Dong touched the little guy’s scalp, and then stuffed the beef jerky into his hand.

“My Enya is so good, uncle rewarded you with snacks, take them quickly!”

Compared with the two “debt collectors” at home, the little guy is so sensible, it makes people feel distressed.

“Thank you uncle.”

People from the Southern Dynasties have small eyes, and the little guy’s happy eyes can hardly be seen.
