My Courtyard Refuge

Leave

Riding an electric bike, Xu Dong quickly returned to the community.

Fifty catties of dried sea cucumbers were not too heavy. He held the bag in both hands and went upstairs lightly.

In the middle of the night, Aunt Zhang and the others had already fallen asleep. Xu Dong didn’t dare to turn on the light, so he could only use the faint moonlight to move the bag into the bedroom, and then left on tiptoe.

With the experience of the first trip, the second trip was much smoother, and the whole process took less than half an hour.

After the transaction was completed, Xu Dong finally felt that his trip to Qindao was not in vain. One hundred catties of dried sea cucumbers was enough for his family to eat for two years.

Especially this thing is suitable for all ages, and its nutritional value is not lower than that of tuna.

The next day, Xu Dong made up a round number and sent Lao Qin three catties of dried sea cucumbers as a thank you for the information he provided.

“Old Xu, with so much money, what can you tell me?” Lao Qin looked worried.

Fifty thousand yuan a catty, this is the first time he has received such a heavy gift.

“Don’t be polite to me. Without your recommendation, I wouldn’t be able to buy so many sea cucumbers.”

“Okay, then I’ll take it.”

…

In the next week, Xu Dong took advantage of Lao Fang’s delivery of rice and asked the other party to help him bring one hundred catties of dried sea cucumbers back to Yanjing in batches, and temporarily stored them at the other party’s home.

For Xu Dong’s request, Lao Fang agreed without hesitation, without even asking what it was.

To him, compared to Xu Dong’s great help, this small matter is nothing worth mentioning.

After another three days, it was finally time to leave.

In the bedroom, Xu Dong was packing his luggage.

Uncle Zhang took a rare one-hour leave today, and rushed back to see off Xu Dong.

Pulling the suitcase out of the bedroom, the little girl Zhang Enya rushed up immediately, Xu Dong quickly put down the suitcase, and picked up the little guy.

“Uncle Xu, don’t leave, okay?”

Through this period of getting along, the little guy has already regarded Xu Dong as his new father, and he is very reluctant to leave him.

Aunt Zhang persuaded from the side: “Enya, your Uncle Xu has his own home in Yanjing, when grandpa and grandma are free, let’s go to Yanjing to see your Uncle Xu, okay?”

“Well, when Enya comes to Yanjing, uncle will treat you to something delicious.” Xu Dong coaxed.

“Uncle Xu, I will write to you often. Yesterday, I wrote back to Sister Keke and Sister Lele. Now I know how to send letters.”

“Our Enya is awesome!” Xu Dong praised.

After coaxing the little guy for a while, Xu Dong pulled Aunt Zhang aside again, took out a photo from his pocket, and secretly handed it to him.

“Auntie, this is a group photo of Enya’s family. I found it on her mother. This is probably the only photo. Please keep it for her!”

Aunt Zhang took the photo, looked at the happy family of three on it, and couldn’t help sighing, “What a pity.”

“When Enya becomes an adult, you can give her the photo. Now that Enya has finally integrated into her new life, don’t remind her of sad things.” Xu Dong reminded.

“This child is only superficially strong. I have seen her crying secretly while hugging the quilt several times.”

Xu Dong comforted: “It will be fine after a long time.”

“Hopefully!”

“Xiao Xu, your aunt made some rice balls for you to pad your stomach on the way.” Uncle Zhang came over with a small bag.

Aunt Zhang patted her forehead: “Oh, I almost forgot this, but luckily your uncle remembered it.”

“Thank you aunt!”

Xu Dong took the bag and solemnly put it into the backpack.

“Xiao Xu, thank you for this time, your uncle and I haven’t been so happy for a long time.” Aunt Zhang suddenly became sad.

“I should be the one thanking you for troubling you for so long.”

Uncle Zhang said with emotion: “What kind of trouble is this, I hope you can be troubled for the rest of your life.”

“Master, when the summer vacation is over, I must bring my aunt and Enya to Yanjing. This time, I will entertain you.”

“Well, let’s see what happens then!”

After saying goodbye, Aunt Zhang’s family personally sent Xu Dong to the bus, and this time the Municipal Bureau sent a special car to pick him up.

“Xiao Xu, take care all the way.”

“Uncle Xu, I will miss you.” The little guy cried and cried.

“Xiao Xu, come back and have a look when you have time, uncleI invite you to drink. ”

Xu Dong waved his hands out the window, and the bus started to start slowly. After a while, the farewell crowd became a small black spot.

Turning her head, she secretly wiped away her tears, she hadn’t been this sad for a long time.

After an hour, the bus finally arrived at Qindao North Station, because it was the train at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, and the group had half a day of free time.

It just so happens that martial law has been lifted in the urban area of ​​Qindao, so you can take a stroll and buy some souvenirs by the way.

“Old Xu, I have an appointment with my colleagues, and everyone is going to get together, do you want to join?” Lao Qin invited.

Xu Dong shook his head and said, “No need, I still have something to do, so I won’t go.”

He was planning to go to Han Caixian’s side. The green card is being processed, and the next thing needs to be explained.

In addition, he also planned to take advantage of this time to visit Haixing Square again, this time he would definitely be able to buy the gift he wanted.

“Okay then, I’ll go first.”

Ten minutes later, Xu Dong also left from the main entrance of the hotel with his backpack on his back.

At Han Caixian’s house, Han Huixian is serving tea and water to the guests.

“Uncle, the water…is hot, be careful!”

“Thank you!”

Xu Dong said thanks, and then continued the conversation with Han Caixian:

“Xiao Han, the matter of the green card is probably close to ten, and it will be completed at the end of the month at the earliest. Don’t worry too much.”

“Thank you so much!”

“You don’t need to thank me. You should thank Lao Fang. This time he is bleeding heavily. It can be seen that Lao Fang really cares about you two.”

Xu Dong said something fair for Lao Fang.

That is more than two hundred catties of rice, not to mention how much it is worth, if you go through the snake head, you can definitely “marry” a wife with dozens of houses.

I also blame Lao Fang for being too picky. It’s not that Xu Dong didn’t find him a way out in this area before, but it’s a pity that he didn’t like the last one.

Either he thinks he is too old, or his education is too low, or it just doesn’t conform to his aesthetic concept.

But this matter, you can’t blame Lao Fang entirely.

After all, from Qindao to Yanjing, the good resources along the way have been picked away by people, and most of the rest are mediocre.

“Old Fang’s great kindness, we sisters will always remember it in our hearts.” Han Caixian nodded.

Xu Dong felt that it was too much: “No, you are all a family, and you just need to live a good life in the future. Speaking of it, I can also be regarded as a matchmaker for the two of you. I sincerely hope that you can live happily ever after.”

“Sure.”

“Okay, it’s getting late, I still have something to do, so I’m leaving first, do you have anything to say, or something to bring to Lao Fang?”

“Then wait a moment.”

After a while, Han Caixian came out with a sweater, “I have found time to knit a sweater for Lao Fang these days, please bring it to him for me!”
