My Courtyard Refuge

: Visiting the door

At five o’clock in the afternoon, Xu Dong finally came back.

The first time he came back, he didn’t go to Director Ji, but planned to go back to get some presents, after all, this time he was asking for something.

“Uncle Xu, you are back.”

Zhang Enya is doing her homework in the living room, with an electric fan blowing beside her.

Xu Dong went over to look at the homework book. The little guy wrote Chinese characters very neatly. The child’s mother taught him very seriously, and he worked hard.

“Where’s grandma?”

“Grandma went to buy fish.” The little guy replied excitedly.

As the saying goes, relying on the sea to eat the sea.

There are many private small fishing boats in the coastal areas that can go to sea, and there is no explicit prohibition above, so coastal cities can occasionally buy some seafood products.

Xu Dong lived in Aunt Zhang’s house for more than a week, but he ate fish once, but the fish was not very fresh, it was pickled with salt, and the taste was not very good.

But for others, it’s already a delicacy.

Just as I was talking, Aunt Zhang came back with a vegetable basket.

Xu Dong hurriedly helped to take the vegetable basket. He didn’t know what was in it, and it was quite overwhelming. He couldn’t help but curiously said:

“Auntie, what did you buy? Why is it so heavy?”

Aunt Zhang sighed, “I didn’t get any fish, I just got a bundle of kelp, let it dry and save it to make soup later.”

“Where did this kelp come from?”

You must know that all domestic food-related industries, including but not limited to mariculture and ocean fishing, have been strictly controlled by the government and are not circulated at all.

“They came from the Nanchao country. In the past one or two years, they heard that many kelp farms have been built there.

Many small fishing boats here go out to fish, and when they return, they will bring some back along the way, so that they can earn some gas money. “Aunt Zhang explained.

“Nanchao Kingdom?” Xu Dong couldn’t believe it, “Isn’t there a famine in their country, and they still have the ability to export kelp?”

“Officially, it is indeed forbidden, but they are fighting a civil war, and now they can’t control it even if they want to.”

Having said that, Xu Dong immediately understood.

It must be that the official purchase price of the Southern Dynasties is too low. The big bosses of those kelp farms would ratherSelling the kelp to the country at a high price is not willing to let yourself suffer.

Aunt Zhang finished speaking and carried the kelp into the kitchen.

Xu Dong returned to the bedroom and quickly took two bottles of wine. He had brought a total of six bottles of wine on this business trip, and this was his last stock.

When I came to the bureau, Director Ji was in the office, and Xu Dong went in directly with a gift.

“Boom…Boss, I’m back.”

Director Ji raised his head, “Why did you come back so late, the things have been delivered?”

“Sent it, and visited a friend by the way.”

“What friend, where do you work?”

“Just like me, I am also a support staff, working as an instructor in the sailing center.” Xu Dong explained casually.

Director Ji waved his hand: “Okay, it’s okay, go back and catch up on sleep, and have snacks on duty at night.”

Xu Dong put the bag on the desk of the other party, “Director, I have something to ask you.”

“If you have something to say, take it away.” Director Ji shook his head.

“Director, I can’t finish this wine, I can’t take it back, you just accept it, and have a drink with your brothers during the dinner.”

“Then I’ll thank you on behalf of everyone. Tell me, what do you want to know?”

Xu Dong found a stool by himself, sat down, and said, “I want to inquire about applying for a green card, Director, is the case you mentioned last time reliable?”

“Do you have relatives abroad?” Director Ji frowned.

“No.” Xu Dong shook his head, “I’m asking on behalf of my colleague. He has a sister-in-law who is from the Southern Dynasty and wants to get a green card.”

“This matter is very difficult. How much is your colleague willing to pay?” Director Ji unscrewed the cup and took a sip of water.

“Money is not a problem, and he is willing to give out two or three catties of rice.”

Director Ji thought about it for a while, “Send the information of the client later, and I will help you go over and ask. As for whether it will work, it depends on luck!”

“Thank you, Director.” Xu Dong hurriedly thanked him.

…

The next day, Lao Fang came in a hurry, arriving at ten o’clock in the morning.

Xu Dong personally went to the train station to pick him up.

“Old Fang, this way.”

“Xiao Xu…” Lao Fang came over with a big bag and a small bag. He was too old to run.

Xu Dong stepped forward to take the two big bags, and asked casually, “Why did you bring so many things?”

“When we met for the first time, I brought some extra gifts, and I definitely need to take care of the green card. I can’t ask you to give something, right?”

“Okay, shall we come directly to the door now, or find a hotel for you to stay in first?” Xu Dong asked.

“Let’s find a hotel first!”

So Lao Fang opened a single room in the street near Han Caixian’s house.

In order to leave a good impression on the other party, Lao Fang not only took a shower, but also changed into a brand new suit.

“Tsk tsk, where did you get that wig?”

“I bought it a few years ago, but I have been wearing it lazily.” Lao Fang combed his hair with a comb.

“My dear, this wig makes you ten years younger, and I will get one later.” Xu Dong said with emotion.

“It’s not that you don’t have long hair. It’s not easy to grow your hair.”

“Oh, I’m used to having a bald head, but I can’t change it. A wig suits me better.” Xu Dong sighed.

Lao Fang was a little surprised: “Xiao Xu, you are really a bit… special sometimes, is it true that rich people are like this?”

“Almost!” Xu Dong looked sloppy.

After cleaning up, it was almost eleven o’clock. Xu Dong led Lao Fang to the community where Han Caixian lived. It was the first time for both of them to come here, and it took a while to find the right place.

“Boom boom boom…”

In the house, Han Chae-hyun heard a knock on the door, and immediately told her sister to hide in the closet, then took out the permanent resident ID card from the drawer, and then went to open the door.

Similar things have happened several times before. Fortunately, compulsory searches are not popular these days, otherwise my sister would have been exposed.

“Crack…”

“Miss Han, we meet again, the person next to me is my colleague Fang Yong, you can also call him Lao Fang like me.

Lao Fang, this is the Miss Han Caixian I told you about. Although she is from the Southern Dynasty, she speaks Daxia very authentically. ”

Xu Dong introduced them one by one.

“Ms. Han, hello, nice to meet you.” Lao Fang smiled.

Han Caixian grasped the right hand extended by “future husband”, and said softly: “Hello, I am Han Caixian, please take care of me.”

===Section 140===

After entering the house, Han Chae-hyun brought out her younger sister Han Hye-hyun, and introduced her to Xu Dong and the two of them.

Seeing “sister-in-law”, Lao Fang immediately gave a well-prepared gift, a gold bracelet, which he specially went to Panjiayuan to look for after get off work yesterday.

Even at the current price of gold, this gold bracelet would cost more than ten thousand yuan, an absolute gift.
