My courtyard shelter

The next day, Wang Xiujuan came to the courtyard of Lao Xu's family after breakfast. When it came to getting food, this was the most reliable place.

It's only been so long, but things have finally been done.

"Dong dong dong..."

Xu's mother was drying vegetables in the yard. She heard a knock on the door and ran over to open the door.

"Old Wang, you are here, come in quickly."

Wang Xiujuan looked into the yard: "Where's Nana, why don't you see anyone?"

"She went to the post office and will be back later."

Xu Ma closed the door and then brought her friends to the kitchen. The emperor goose oil was packed early in the morning, totaling thirty-two pounds.

The extra two pounds are considered "loss".

As soon as she entered the kitchen, Zhang Xiuli smelled the aroma of meat and couldn't help but joked:

"Lao Zhang, what delicious food did your family cook last night? Why does it taste so good?"

Xu Ma waved her hand:

"It's nothing delicious. The aroma comes from boiling oil."

"Where is the oil? Show me quickly."

Xu Ma took out a white plastic bucket from the cabinet: "Here it is. This bucket of oil totals thirty kilograms. It's just for you."

"This is too much!"

Wang Xiujuan was very surprised. Good guy, it was three times the last time.

"Don't worry, you can keep it. I also kept dozens of kilograms for myself."

"What kind of oil is this?" Wang Xiujuan unscrewed the cap and smelled the smell.

"It's emperor goose oil. I spent all afternoon cooking it yesterday." Xu's mother replied.

Wang Xiujuan asked curiously: "Emperor goose oil? How does it taste?"

"It has a stronger taste than lard, so it's best to use less of it when cooking." Xu Ma suggested.

"It doesn't matter if it tastes strong, as long as it's edible. How can I sell this oil?"

"Just calculate it as 2,000 yuan per catty, and 30 catties will cost a total of 60,000 yuan."

Wang Xiujuan frowned: "Lao Zhang, this price is too cheap. I can't accept this oil at this price."

"Don't worry, the price was set by my third child. He also bought the meat. There is no mistake." Xu Ma advised.

Wang Xiujuan hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the temptation and spent 60,000 yuan to buy this barrel of oil.

Before leaving, Xu Ma suddenly asked again: "Old Wang, I still have some oil residue here, would you like to take some back?"

"Forget it, I don't have any hands to take it." Wang Xiujuan declined, mainly because she was embarrassed. After all, she had taken such a big advantage, so it would be unreasonable to take anything again.

"Well, how about this? I'm planning to use these oil residues to make fish balls, and I'll give you some to try when I'm done."

"Okay, leave me a bowl."

Seeing that her friend was struggling to carry it, Xu's mother couldn't help but persuade her: "Old Wang, why don't you sit down for a while, and when Nana comes back, I'll ask her to help you send the oil back."

Wang Xiujuan shook her head quickly and said, "No, I just need to take a taxi when I go out. Zheng Yan happens to be at home today, so I have to send the gas to them quickly."

"Hey, let me give it to you!"

Half an hour later, Wang Xiujuan arrived at her son's house carrying an oil drum. Her daughter-in-law had to take care of her granddaughter, so she didn't let her come to pick her up.

"Dong dong...Zheng Yan, it's me."

"Mom, why are you here?" Zheng Yan was slightly surprised. Her mother-in-law usually only came here on weekends.

"I've sent you oil." Wang Xiujuan said happily.

Only then did Zheng Yan notice the oil drum at her mother-in-law's feet, so she quickly helped carry it into the house.

"Mom, where did this oil come from?"

Wang Xiujuan wiped the sweat from her face and said, "Other than your Aunt Zhang's house, where else can I get such in-demand goods?"

"Tsk tsk, Nana's husband is really capable. He actually got so much oil this time."

After saying that, Zheng Yan found the scale at home and placed the oil drum directly on it.

"How many pounds?"

Wang Xiujuan asked casually. Based on her relationship with Lao Zhang, the oil would definitely be more and not less, just like the previous few times.

"5 pounds."

"I estimate that the oil drum weighs more than three kilograms. Your Aunt Zhang gave us two more kilograms of oil this time." Wang Xiujuan said with a smile.

Zheng Yan sighed: "Aunt Zhang is so generous."

"Generosity comes from people. Our family has helped their family a lot, and they are deliberately returning the favor! Let's just talk about this oil. It only costs 2,000 yuan a pound, which is almost half sold and half given away."

Zheng Yan opened the oil barrel and looked at it, and couldn't help but ask: "Mom, what kind of oil is this? Why is it different from last time?"

"This time it's emperor goose oil, of course it's different."

"No wonder, this oil must have just been boiled, it smells so strong."

"I heard from your Aunt Wang that she stayed up yesterday afternoon." Wang Xiujuan replied.

"Mom, don't leave until noon. I'll fry some more vegetables and let's taste the oil together."

"Okay, I'll fry more shrimps later, the kids will be hungry for it."

Zheng Yan said bitterly: "Mom, I don't want to wrong Zhang Yong and the others, but there are really not many shrimps left at home, and I still want to keep them for the New Year!"

"I'll find a way to make it after eating. Don't be reluctant. Your Aunt Zhang's family is very capable. Even if I show my old face, the two children will not suffer." Wang Xiujuan said simply.

"That's okay, Mom, I'll listen to you."

…

Meanwhile, power companies.

Xu Dong finally waited for the official document and became the deputy section chief of the Security Section. His main job was to serve as deputy to Section Chief Li.

Fortunately, Section Chief Li has been focusing on his wife and children recently, so he allowed Xu Dong to fully take over the daily work of the security department.

In a sense, except for not having an independent office, Xu Dong is now almost the same as a formal section chief.

After get off work, Xu Dong couldn't wait to share the good news with his family. Xu's mother was very excited and stopped what she was doing.

"Son, you are now in the leadership, right?"

"Is there any need to say that?"

"Good, that's great. I thought you would have to wait for several years to become a section chief, but I didn't expect you to be promoted now." Xu's mother was surprised.

"Mom, I'm only a deputy section chief now, and our leader won't retire for more than three years!"

Yang Lina said happily: "It doesn't matter whether you are a section chief or not, as long as you are willing to make progress."

Xu Dong could only respond with embarrassment.

Didn't he just want to take care of the family more? How did he become unmotivated?

It was Dabao who was sensible. Seeing that his father's face was not right, he thought that his father was hungry, so he quickly picked up a fish ball from the basket and stretched it to his father's mouth.

"Dad, eat fish balls, grandma's fish balls are so delicious."

Xu Dong bit the fish ball in one bite, and then picked up his eldest son.

"Dad, eat quickly!" Dabao urged.

Xu Dong chewed a few bites quickly.

Hey, don't say it! The taste is really good, the fish balls are very chewy and make people's mouth fragrant.

"Mom, these fish balls are quite good, much better than last year's. Fry more this time."

Xu's mother looked relieved: "Keke and the others also said it was delicious. Maybe tuna meat is more suitable for making fish balls! If you like it, I will make it once every month in the future. Anyway, there is still a lot of fish meat at home."

"Okay, I agree with both hands." Xu Dong said with a smile.
