My courtyard shelter

In the following week, Xu Dong received thousands of overseas Chinese. Read М

Among them, there were big bosses who returned home with wealth, poor "losers", and even several wealthy local tycoons.

These local tycoons were definitely not overseas Chinese.

They were VIPs invited by the country. After all, the Philippines could not continue to be in chaos. There would always be a day to return.

On March 2, after handing over the work, Xu Dong was finally able to go home. Section Chief Li approved two days of leave for him, plus the weekend, he could rest for four days.

"Dongzi, you're back."

Xu Dong, who wanted to give his family a surprise, was startled by his elder sister who suddenly appeared.

"Uh, sister, when did you arrive?"

"Just arrived yesterday afternoon."

Xu Ting had just come out of the vegetable garden, holding a handful of freshly picked beans in her hand.

Xu Dong walked into the house and looked around. Except for his wife who was taking a nap with the triplets, there was no one else at home, so he asked curiously:

"Where is mom? And where are my brother-in-law and Lingling? Why can't I see them?"

"Ma Jie took mom and Lingling to Langfang to look at houses." Xu Ting replied.

"When was the house handed over? Did the property certificate come down?"

"The property certificate came down yesterday, and the house was handed over this morning. The seller urged them to hurry, so the agent sped up the process."

Xu Dong nodded. With the development of the evacuation work, normal flights will definitely be affected. No wonder the seller is so impatient.

"How did you deal with the matter in Luyang?"

Xu Ting frowned: "Your brother-in-law found a moving company, and the family moved here. Everything else went smoothly, but I may not be able to keep my job."

"What's the situation?"

"There is no suitable job for me here for the time being. If I can't find a receiving unit, I can only choose to retire internally." Xu Ting said as she poured a glass of water for her brother.

Xu Dong took a sip and asked, "What are your plans?"

"Mom has asked Aunt Wang to ask for me. Whether it can be accomplished depends on God's will."

"Sister, don't worry. Aunt Wang has many connections. There will be no problem." Xu Dong comforted.

"Thank you for your good words. At worst, I can find a new job. Your sister is not someone who will give up easily."

Xu Dong saw that his sister was in a good mood, so he didn't ask any more questions.

...

In the evening, Ma Jie and his group finally came back, and everyone was smiling.

"Uncle, I'm here again." Ma Xu ran over and shouted.

"Okay, I won't go back to Luyang this time." Xu Dong touched his nephew's scalp.

"Yeah, it's much more fun here than in my hometown."

Xu's mother laughed and scolded, "You only know how to play."

"Mom, are you finally relieved now?" Xu Dong joked while holding Xiaobao.

Seeing her youngest son coming back from a business trip, Xu Ma said happily: "Your sister's family affairs have been settled. Mom can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"

"There was nothing to worry about."

"Give Xiaobao to me. Your brother-in-law has something to tell you." Xu Ma took Xiaobao and went into the house with Lingling and Xiaoxu.

Xu Dong pulled Ma Jie into the restaurant and said, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter?"

"Dongzi, I want to exchange rice for some corn flour with you." Ma Jie said slowly.

"Brother-in-law, what is the relationship between our two families? What are we exchanging? Just carry a bag back tomorrow!"

"No, I want a lot this time."

Xu Dong asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, why do you want these corn flours?"

Logically speaking, my sister's family has stockpiled hundreds of kilograms of rice, so there should be no shortage of food at home.

"Brother-in-law will not hide it from you. I plan to send these corn flours back to my hometown in Dianzhou. My parents are having a hard time right now." Ma Jie sighed.

Ma Jie's hometown is Kunming, the capital of Dianzhou. Strictly speaking, it was already a city with severe water shortage before the drought.

Xu Dong nodded: "Does my sister know about this?"

"Yes, your sister means that you can only send 200 kilograms of rice back at most, so I thought it would be better to change it to corn flour, so that at least you can exchange a little more."

"In that case, I will exchange 200 kilograms of rice for 500 kilograms of corn flour for you!" Xu Dong lowered his head and thought about it.

"No, this is too different from the official conversion ratio." Ma Jie shook his head hurriedly.

Xu Dong smiled and explained: "Brother-in-law, Panjiayuan is the same as this, so don't worry about the official one, which can't be counted."

"Then thank you, brother-in-law."

After hesitating for a while, Ma Jie finally agreed. He didn't need to ask, and he knew that his brother-in-law would definitely suffer a loss in this exchange.

"Brother-in-law, when do you want the corn flour?" Xu Dong asked again. The corn flour at home was definitely not enough, and he had to go to Panjiayuan.

"This weekend, I'll go back tomorrow and bring the rice over."

Xu Dong handed over the car keys: "Drive my car, it's free, you still have to hire a car, it's too troublesome."

Ma Jie didn't hesitate and took it directly.

The next day, Xu Dong drove a small truck to Panjiayuan, with 5 bags of rice in the truck, adding up to 250 kilograms.

In fact, in Panjiayuan, one kilogram of hybrid rice can only be exchanged for two kilograms of corn flour. As for the extra 100 kilograms, it was mainly his own intention.

In addition, Xu Dong also brought a box of cigarettes, wanting to try his luck.

It was the first time to exchange food. Xu Dong didn't have any good resources, so he could only ask from one household to another.

"Boss, how much is corn flour?"

The boss waved his hand: "Brother, are you kidding? Food is so scarce now. Wouldn't it be blind to sell it for money?"

"Then what about you..."

"You can bring something to exchange."

"How about cigarettes? I'll exchange Fuxing cigarettes with you." Xu Dong said softly.

"How much do you want to exchange?" The boss was obviously tempted.

Xu Dong stretched out a slap.

"Fifty kilograms? It's a bit difficult!" The boss frowned and muttered.

"It's five hundred kilograms." Xu Dong quickly corrected.

The boss immediately waved his hand: "You are trying to make fun of me, right? Five hundred kilograms, even if you buy up Panjiayuan, I'm afraid you can't get five hundred kilograms."

The boss was really not joking. After the consumption of the whole year last year, in fact, most of the families in the city had no extra food reserves.

The food that appeared in Panjiayuan was collected bit by bit by the second-hand dealers who went door to door.

Although the amount is not much, it is available every day, so it is no problem to save an emergency occasionally.

After a round, Xu Dong felt that he came to the wrong place, so he quickly gave up the idea of ​​exchanging rice for corn flour.

After leaving Panjiayuan, he went directly to Zhao Jian, and through the other party's introduction, he finally exchanged a box of cigarettes for more than 700 kilograms of corn flour.

Zhao Jian also received three packs of cigarettes as an agency fee, and all parties were happy.
