My courtyard shelter

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

Since the declaration of a state of emergency, an atmosphere of anxiety has begun to permeate the society.

Last night, Xu Dong went online to check his family's food quota for February. Overall, it was only two-thirds of last month, which was already on the verge of starvation.

If you encounter someone with a big appetite, you will definitely go hungry.

But he knew that this was just the beginning. According to his experience in his previous life, in the next year, the food quota will only become less and less, and starvation will become a normal state.

When he came to the office, the atmosphere was a little wrong. Early in the morning, several male colleagues were sighing over there, and they were not in a working state at all.

"Lao Fang, what happened to you guys?"

Lao Fang and his friends didn't say anything, but Xiang Xin gloated on the side: "The car orders they had booked before were cancelled, and even the money was returned."

"What happened?" Xu Dong was surprised.

You know, these people have been waiting in line for half a year. I heard that one of them can pick up the car next month, but I didn't expect that it would be a waste of money in the end.

Lao Fang explained with a bitter face:

"What else could it be? Didn't they declare a state of emergency yesterday? The car factory has completely stopped production of all kinds of passenger cars. It is said that they will cooperate with the production of transportation vehicles."

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

"Don't consider second-hand cars?"

Lao Fang shook his head: "Second-hand cars are not available. I asked someone last night. 99% of the second-hand cars on the market have been booked in advance."

"What are your plans?" Xu Dong was also helpless.

"I haven't decided yet."

"Uncle Fang, why don't you buy a bicycle? It seems that only bicycles are not limited in production." Xiang Xin suggested sincerely.

Speaking of which, bicycles can also be regarded as a kind of daily necessities.

At present, the popularity of bicycles in the capital is still quite high. Every day when going to and from get off work, a long army of bicycles will appear on the street.

Lao Fang said unhappily: "It's better to apply for a bus card. At least I can save some energy with my old arms and legs."

"The bus is so crowded. I'm afraid you have no place 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 said happily.

Gao Yuemei's smile was a little forced: "I came here to see everyone."

"Sister Gao, what happened?" Xu Dong felt unusual.

"Yes, Sister Gao, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Xin also said nervously.

Gao Yuemei waved her hand: "I'm fine, it's just..."

"Sister Gao, if you have anything to say, please say it quickly!" Xiang Xin urged.

"I came here today to prepare for the resignation procedures." Gao Yuemei replied slowly.

Xiang Xin immediately stepped forward and grabbed the other party's arm, and asked directly: "Sister Gao, why are you resigning?"

"Our whole family is going to immigrate." Gao Yuemei threw a bombshell.

Xiang Xin was stunned for a moment.

"Sister Gao, which country are you going to immigrate to?" Xu Dong asked with a frown.

It's better to stay in Yanjing than to immigrate at this time. At least with the other party's family conditions, there will be no problem to spend the next ten years in peace.

"It's the beautiful country on the other side of the ocean."

"The beautiful country has not been very peaceful recently, Sister Gao, have you thought about it?" Xu Dong advised.

The beautiful country has advanced technology, especially advanced agricultural technology, and the population size is only one-fifth of that in China. Overall, it is still a qualified safe haven.

But the other party has a fatal weakness, that is, the racial conflict is extremely sharp. As a yellow person, going to the United States at this time is actually quite risky.

Gao Yuemei nodded: "Think about it, our family Lao Zhang has a younger brother who immigrated to the United States decades ago.

He lives in a wealthy area. I heard that the public security is very good and the supplies are also sufficient. Unlike us, we can't eat meat once a month."

"Sister Gao, after all, the United States is unfamiliar. You really have to be more cautious!" Xu Dong sighed and advised again.

Gao Yuemei smiled bitterly:

"Actually, I don't want to leave, but my son and his wife can't be pulled back even by nine cows. Lao Zhang and I have only this one son. What else can I do if I don't go with him?"

Knowing that no matter how much persuasion he has, he can't keep him, Xu Dong can only wish the other party a safe journey in his heart.

"Sister Gao, have you bought the tickets? Are you taking a boat or a plane?" Xiang Xin finally reacted.

"I bought it. The child is still young and can't take the boat. Lao Zhang got the plane ticket through his connections."

"When do you leave? I'll take you there." Xiang Xin continued to ask.

"This weekend, the flight is at 5 pm on Sunday. You don't need to take me there. You're still pregnant. Don't get tired."

Xu Dong nodded and said, "Xiao Xiang, don't go. I'll take you there. My car is big and can hold a lot of luggage."

"Yes, Sister Gao, let the eldest take you there!" Xiang Xin helped persuade.

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'll trouble you, Xiao Xu."

"It's not a problem. I'm free on Sunday afternoon."

In the following time, Gao Yuemei stayed in the office, packing her personal belongings while chatting with Xiang Xin.

Xu Dong didn't want to disturb the two of them, so he went to the north gate on the pretext of going.

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

"Sister Gao, is there anything else?"

"Xiao Xu, can you help me get a few more barrels of milk powder? I don't know what the situation is in the United States. Don't worry, I will exchange the rice I stockpiled with you this time."

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

After all, everyone knows that food cannot be taken out of the country.

But she found excuses to refuse all of them. Their family is not short of money, and it is better to sell rice and exchange it for some useful supplies, such as milk powder.

Xu Dong patted the steering wheel lightly. It was better to save money for himself than to save money for others, so he nodded and agreed immediately:

"No problem, how do you want to exchange, Sister Gao?"

"How about one hundred kilograms for one bucket?"

"Okay." This price is very fair, and it is hard to say who is taking advantage.

"Well, my eldest sister's family has a total of more than 1,200 kilograms of grain. No matter how many buckets of milk powder you can take out, I will leave the rest of the grain to you.

I just hope you can keep it for my eldest sister for two years. After two years, if my eldest sister doesn't come back, you can dispose of this batch of grain."

Gao Yuemei's move was also well-intentioned.

She hoped to leave a way out for the whole family. The reason why she chose Xu Dong was mainly because he had good character and was rich, so he should not be so bad as to steal this batch of grain.
