My courtyard shelter

After returning to the company, Xu Dong immediately began to distribute bread, and Lao Fang stood by to record. Two hundred kilograms of food, this is not a small amount.

Sister Feng was the first to step forward: "Xiao Xu, how long is the shelf life of this bread?"

"One month is definitely no problem." Xu Dong replied with a smile.

The weather is dry now, and it is winter now, so the shelf life of one month is not exaggerated.

"So long? Then give me forty!"

Sister Feng waved her hand generously. Although their family still has several hundred kilograms of rice, they usually eat coarse grain rice, and it is rare to eat rice once a week.

There is no other reason, it is purely reluctant. One kilogram of hybrid rice can be exchanged for two or three kilograms of coarse grains!

"Lao Feng, why do you take so much? Just buy a three-day supply. If you want it later, we can buy it again. It's very convenient." Lao Fang advised.

Sister Feng waved her hand: "I want to send some to my eldest brother. His family has many people and life has not been easy."

"Alas, whose life is easy?" Uncle Chen sighed.

Xu Dong took 40 loaves of bread to Sister Feng, and then looked at Uncle Chen: "Old Chen, how many do you want?"

"Just give me 20 loaves. The younger generations are not at home. These are enough for a few days."

"Okay, here you go." Xu Dong packed the bread into a bag and handed it to the other party.

In the next 20 minutes, the colleagues of the security department took a total of 220 loaves of bread, of which Section Chief Li also took 10 loaves, and his family took even fewer.

Ten minutes before leaving get off work, Xu Dong brought the remaining bread to the north gate, which was his base camp.

"Boss, you are here!" The group just came back from patrol.

Xu Dong pointed to the back seat and ordered: "We've bought the bread. There are 180 loaves left. You can take them back and divide them among yourselves. Just give me the food before the weekend."

"Thank you, Boss." Datou and others hurriedly took the bread out of the car.

"Okay, go back and rest after the handover. Don't be late tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Boss, drive slowly on the road."

Xu Dong nodded, and then drove out of the North Gate directly. Since the last overtime, he transferred Datou and Xiaoxiao to the night shift, so he didn't have to send them home.

After all, the patrol task at night is heavy, Datou is the little boss of the North Gate, and he can't leave him; in addition, the elementary school is closed, and Xiaoxiao has to take care of the children during the day, so he can only work the night shift.

Under normal circumstances, the two will come to work before eight o'clock. It's not safe to go too late, and they can't take the bus.

It took an hour to go home. Recently, the smoke and dust over Yanjing has become more serious, and the visibility has become extremely poor. He dare not drive fast.

After arriving home, he washed up and went to bed.

Recently, Xu Dong gave up the habit of eating midnight snacks, not for anything else, but for fear of gaining weight. After all, when people reach middle age, it is also the easiest time to gain weight.

Originally, he didn't care about his figure, but it was visible to the naked eye that the people around him had lost weight one by one. If he gained weight, it would be a bit high-profile, and high-profile meant trouble.

As mentioned before, he was most afraid of trouble.

...

Two days passed quickly.

Time came to January 1, 2024, New Year's Day.

This year is the fourth year after Xu Dong's rebirth. So much time has passed unknowingly, making him feel like he was in another world.

Overall, he is quite satisfied with his current life. The whole family is healthy and has no worries about food and drink. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

Especially Xiaobao, who made up for his huge regrets in his previous life.

On New Year's Day, although the power company did not issue benefits or holidays, it temporarily resumed the normal working hours, which was also a kind of comfort!

After get off work, Xu Dong did not go home immediately, but went to Panjiayuan. He had not been there for more than a month. He wanted to check his shop.

By the way, he went to the street stall area again. Today is New Year's Day. Maybe there will be unexpected gains.

He opened the door of the store with the key and first checked the storage condition of the dried shrimp. Fortunately, there was no mold or traces of rats and insects.

Just as he was about to leave, a customer came to the door in the short time after the door was opened.

"Boss, what do you sell?"

Xu Dong shook his head: "Sorry, I don't sell anything here, auntie, you should go somewhere else!"

"Wait, what's in your bag, can I see it?"

"If you say you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it. I'm going to lock the door." Xu Dong said and pulled down the shutter door directly.

There was no way, the auntie could only leave in disappointment.

After a simple packing, Xu Dong went straight to the street stall area. There was no good thing to buy in other areas. Even if there was, it would not be put on the table. The transaction had been completed privately long ago.

The street stall area was still as lively as ever.

Unfortunately, I didn't get anything after walking around. Instead, I bought some fresh mushrooms at the gate before leaving. Less than ten kilograms, I exchanged them for ten kilograms of corn flour from Xu Dong.

Although mushrooms are delicious, they are not very filling. They are almost the same price as Chinese cabbage.

When I got home, Xu's mother had just returned from the grain store. Xu Dong hurried forward to help unload the goods. Wow, the grains were still the same, but there were a lot more vegetables. There was a small pile on the back seat of the old scooter.

There were four kinds of vegetables, namely green peppers, leeks, Chinese cabbage and tomatoes.

"Mom, why are there so many vegetables this month?"

"Well, some time ago, the planting factory in the eastern suburbs was put into production. It seems that it is specially used for growing vegetables. Starting from this month, we will not lack vegetables here."

"So good?" Xu Dong was surprised.

In his previous life in Luyang, vegetables were always more scarce than grain. Why did the situation change when he came to Yanjing?

"What's so surprising? Look at this leek, it looks like wheat seedlings. I heard from your aunt Wang that the yield per mu can reach tens of thousands of catties, which is higher than sweet potatoes!" Xu's mother said in amazement.

Xu Dong shook his head subconsciously. It was true, but the premise of high yield is sufficient water and fertilizer. Overall, the cost performance may not be comparable to wheat.

"Mom, what are you going to do with these vegetables?"

Xu's mother had already thought about it: "Eat what you can eat at home, and feed the chickens with what you can't finish. It can't be wasted in vain!"

"I think it's better to plant fewer vegetables at home in the future and plant more fruits in the empty space." Xu Dong suggested.

"Well, Mom thinks so too. We won't plant some popular vegetables in the future." Xu's mother nodded in agreement.

"I'll go to Panjiayuan to buy some seeds and see what to plant."

Yang Lina just came over to help. When she heard her husband's words, she couldn't help but wonder:

"What to plant?"

"Nana, there is no shortage of vegetables in the grain store now. Our vegetable garden can't be wasted. Dongzi and I are discussing planting some other fruits!" Xu's mother replied.

Yang Lina looked at the vegetables all over the ground and understood it all at once. She thought for a while and said:

"There's no rush. Let's harvest the vegetables first. It's a pity to pull them out after they've been planted."

"Then let's talk about it after the Chinese New Year!"
