My courtyard shelter

Chapter 168: Step on the Back

Until lunch time, the big leader still didn't come over. Xu Dong was disappointed for a while. ReadМ

But today is May Day, and there are physical activities, so it is rare for the canteen to add extra meals. Although there are no meat dishes, there are a few vegetarian dishes with enough oil and water. Even Xu Dong has a big appetite.

The tree planting activities continued in the afternoon.

After all, Section Chief Li is getting older, and his physical strength is gradually failing him. Now it's better, and all the heavy work falls on Xu Dong.

After a whole day, Xu Dong was so tired that he had a sore back and finally waited until get off work time. Unexpectedly, Mr. Liao spoke again.

"Comrades, the evening is neither too hot nor too cold. Why don't we take advantage of the victory and work two more hours? What do you think?"

"This is a good suggestion!"

"Mr. Liao is very upright and honest."

"Pa bang bang..."

The big BOSS has spoken, so naturally no one will object.

Xu Dong put on his gloves again and couldn't help complaining: "I really don't understand Mr. Liao's thoughts, why don't you get off work normally?"

"You can ask me if you don't understand!" Section Chief Li said with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Li, tell me quickly, what's going on here?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

Section Chief Li pointed to the north and explained: "The news from Zhongshan Park says that the end will be delayed by one hour. We can't be earlier than the big boss, right?

If he didn't even have this awareness, Mr. Liao wouldn't be in his current position.

Stop dawdling and get to work quickly. Mr. Liao will most likely come over to express his condolences later, so young people should sweat more. "

"The senior leader also planted trees for a day?"

Xu Dong couldn't figure it out. It stands to reason that the leader has a lot of things to do every day. Even if he participates in tree planting activities, it is more of a symbolic meaning and there is no need to practice it.

Section Chief Li shook his head and said: "What's so strange about this? It shows that the leaders attach great importance to this tree planting activity. Don't make blind guesses."

Xu Dong had an idea. He thought that the big bosses were discussing some confidential matters through the tree planting activities.

The reason why we chose tree planting activities is the same as playing golf. The outdoor area is large and it is not easy to be monitored.

And it is easy to understand that working overtime for an hour means that the bosses have not reached a consensus and need to continue discussions.

Xu Dong told his guess. Section Chief Li looked at the "successor" in front of him with some surprise. If nothing else, he had a very flexible mind.

"Okay, this has nothing to do with us, let's plant trees!"

An hour later, as Section Chief Li said, Mr. Liao came over in person to express his condolences.

"Hello, Mr. Liao!"

Xu Dong also wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, looking like he was working hard.

Section Chief Li quickly brought a bottle of mineral water over and said, "Mr. Liao, please drink water."

"No, don't open this water. You won't be able to finish it and it will be wasted."

"You are too frugal."

"It has long been said above that we must carry forward the spirit of frugality, and we must set an example."

"Yes, you are absolutely right."

"Well, Lao Li, you have worked hard today." Mr. Liao spoke very kindly.

"You've worked hard too."

"Who is this young man? I don't seem to have any impression of him?" Mr. Liao asked, looking at Xu Dong aside.

Section Chief Li replied: "He is a new employee in our department, his name is Xu Dong, and he has been working for less than a year."

"Really, young man, do a good job."

"Thank you, Mr. Liao, for your encouragement."

Mr. Liao's time was precious, so he left after chatting for a few words. This was the first time that Xu Dong talked face to face with the big boss, which was not easy.

It was a little after seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky was getting a little dark. With Mr. Liao leaving, the tree planting activity finally came to an end.

In less than five minutes, everyone on the scene had left, except Xu Dong, who had to stay to finish.

"Boss, what should I do with the remaining beverage bottles?" Big Head ran over and asked.

"Don't take it back, find a trash can and throw it away!" Xu Dong ordered.

Datou was reluctant to part with it: "Boss, this bottle costs five yuan a piece. It would be a waste to throw it away."

"It's only five yuan. The tree planting activity is over. This bottle can be sold for only fifty cents, which is considered a high price."

"No way?" Datou was a little dumbfounded.

"Forget it, if you are reluctant to throw it away, you can take it back yourself!" Xu Dong waved his hand.

In the end, more than a hundred bottles were sold by Datou to an old lady who came to collect the waste. They were packaged and sold for fifty yuan.

When I got home, it was almost eight o'clock.

"Dad, why are you back so late?" Lele ran over and hugged her father.

His body was a little dirty, so Xu Dong pulled the little cotton-padded jacket apart: "Didn't Dad call me? I have to work overtime tonight. Is your fever feeling better?"

Lele caught a cold again last night. The flu is not something that can be cured once and for all. It will relapse if you are not careful.

"The fever is gone. If you don't believe me, just touch my forehead."

Xu Dong tried it with the back of his hand. Sure enough, it was no longer hot. The symptoms were much lighter than last time. It seemed that he didn't need to ask for leave tomorrow.

"Well, where's your sister?"

"Sister went to Xiaoyun's house."

This time only Lele was infected, but Coco was safe and sound. In order to prevent the infection, the two of them needed to be separated. Coco simply went to play at a new friend's house next door.

"Okay, you watch TV obediently. Dad has been working for a day and the smell of sweat is heavy. He needs to take a shower."

Although the temperature did not exceed 40 degrees in May, it was still uncomfortable in the 30s. Xu Dong felt that he had sweated more today than in the previous months combined.

"Wow, no wonder Daddy stinks so badly, it's so stinking." Lele covered his nose and ran away.

"Little heartless!" Xu Dong smiled and shook his head.

After taking a shower, Keke finally came back.

Xu Dad brought the hot food to the table. Xu Dong was also very hungry, huffing and puffing, and he filled his stomach in less than ten minutes.

During the May Day holiday, Xu Ting was sick, and Ma Lingling needed to take care of her mother at home, so the siblings did not come this time.

After dinner, Xu Dong went into the bedroom early. He hadn't done physical work for a long time, and he was so tired that his back and waist ached.

"Dad, my sister and I are coming in!" Lele knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Xu Dong lay on the bed and didn't want to move.

Keke stuck his head out of the crack in the door, "Dad, Lele said you were too tired from work today. Do you want me and my sister to help you step on your back?"

"No, Daddy will be fine after a good sleep." Xu Dong quickly refused.

When they were little, the twins often stepped on their dad's back, but as the sisters became stronger and stronger, and they liked to play tricks, Xu Dong no longer dared to let the little cotton jacket help.

The twins didn't care about that, they climbed onto the bed barefoot.

"Be gentle, Dad's waist is about to break."

"Dad, I'm already very gentle."

As he was talking here, the next second, Lele knelt heavily on his dad's back, and Xu Dong was hit hard in an instant, and his internal organs were about to shift.

Can't continue.

"Okay, Dad is going to sleep, you two should go to bed quickly, Mom will call to check on you later."

After coaxing for a while, plus making a lot of promises, Xu Dong finally bluffed the two little devils away.
