My courtyard shelter

After choosing and choosing, Xu Dong simply asked his mother to cook a pot of pickled fish. It was not against the rules to send food, and in order to avoid suspicion, he planned to stay and eat.

At Li's house at noon and Director Cao's house at night.

At nearly eleven o'clock, Xu Dong drove a Mercedes-Benz with a bucket of pickled fish in the car, about seven or eight pounds, a large portion, and a lot of fish slices.

When he arrived at Li's neighborhood, he went upstairs with the thermos bucket directly. Because it was dinner time, all the guests in Li's house had left.

"I thought you were not coming today?"

"Hehe, I came at dinner time. I haven't tasted my aunt's cooking for a long time. Don't chase me away." Xu Dong joked with a smile.

Li laughed and scolded: "No one chased you away. Lunch is almost ready. It just so happens that I have something to tell you. I originally planned to tell you after work."

"Uncle Li, what's the matter?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"It's a great thing for you. Let's eat and talk later!" Section Chief Li waved his hand.

"Okay!" Xu Dong raised the thermos, "I brought a portion of pickled fish, to add a dish for lunch."

Aunt Li came over and took the thermos.

"Wow, it's quite heavy. Is it all pickled fish?" Aunt Li asked.

Xu Dong nodded, and then reminded: "It's just out of the pot, it's still hot, Aunt, just bring a bowl, it's a waste if you can't finish it."

Aunt Li unscrewed the thermos, and a fragrance came to her face, especially the thick layer of oil on the surface of the pickled fish, which made people's appetites whetted.

"It smells so good." Section Chief Li took a deep breath.

"So much, enough for our family to eat for a week." Aunt Li said happily.

Less than ten minutes after sitting, the meal was served soon.

Section Chief Li pulled Xu Dong to sit at the dining table, and Aunt Li took some dishes back to the bedroom.

"Uncle Li, let auntie eat some!"

Section Chief Li smiled and explained, "Your auntie still has to look after the children, so don't be polite."

"Why don't you bring this plate of yellow croaker to auntie? She is still breastfeeding, and she can't do without nutrition." Xu Dong pointed at the steamed yellow croaker on the table and advised.

Section Chief Li only got one yellow croaker, how could he eat it?

"Just eat it with confidence, there are more than a dozen yellow croakers at home, so this one is not a big deal."

"Ah, so many, where did they come from?" Xu Dong said in surprise.

Section Chief Li took a chopstick of pickled fish and replied with a smile: "I exchanged salted fish with others, three catties of salted fish for a yellow croaker."

"Is anyone willing to exchange?"

"Of course, there are quite a few people willing to exchange. I exchanged twenty, and Lao Cao also exchanged, but the exchange was relatively small, only five."

Xu Dong pretended to slap his forehead and said in annoyance: "Oh, look at my pig brain, why didn't I think of this method!"

"Your family is not short of food, so it's not necessary."

"It's necessary, very necessary. Yellow croaker is a good thing, who would complain about it?"

Section Chief Li smiled: "It's too late to exchange now, it's probably all in the pot, do you want me to give you a few?"

"Forget it." Xu Dong shook his head, "Auntie needs yellow croaker more than me, so I won't take it away from her."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Section Chief Li didn't force it. To be honest, the other party was right. The reason why he exchanged so many yellow croakers was to nourish his wife.

After all, she is an older mother, so she can't be careless.

"Uncle Li, you just said you have something to discuss with me, what is it?" Xu Dong couldn't help asking.

"Alas, you young people are good at everything, but you lack patience."

"Please tell me quickly, don't keep me in suspense." Xu Dong urged.

Section Chief Li put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then said solemnly: "Xiao Xu, I will be transferred after the New Year, and you will probably take over in advance."

"What?" Xu Dong was shocked and asked quickly: "Uncle Li, where are you going to be transferred to?"

"The director of a branch under Shijingshan District, it's a horizontal transfer!"

"That's not right, we are not in the same system as the police, why would you be transferred there for no reason?" Xu Dong was full of confusion.

Section Chief Li sighed: "No one forced me, I took the initiative to apply."

"Uncle Li, what are you trying to do?"

Xu Dong was puzzled. As a branch director, not only is the salary and benefits much worse, but even the daily work is much more arduous.

Besides, Section Chief Li is not young anymore, and it is impossible for him to continue to climb up.

"What are you trying to do? Of course, I want to retire a few years later."

Section Chief Li then explained: "You also know that in our company, I will retire in a few years, and if I go to the branch over there as a director, I can at least work for another ten years."

According to the latest documents, due to the shortage of police force in various places and the personnel losses caused by the previous epidemic, the retirement time in the police system has been specially extended.

It was because of this document that Section Chief Li had strange thoughts. During the period before the New Year, he ran a lot of relationships.

Now, things have finally been settled.

"Uncle Li, you are not young anymore, why not just retire? You can also help your aunt take care of the baby, which is better than going down to suffer."

"You don't understand, if your aunt gave birth to a girl, I would also be happy to retire, just like you said, to enjoy retirement life early.

But your aunt gave birth to a boy.

Even if I risk my life, I will help him lay a good foundation, otherwise when I am gone one day, I don’t know what will happen to the mother and son in the future! "

Xu Dong quickly comforted: "I am still here, you can retire with peace of mind, I will help you take care of Li Tao. Besides, your family is not short of money, enough for aunt and children to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. "

"Who told you that our family is not short of money?" Li Ke laughed and scolded.

"Why, you are still short of money?" Xu Dong was surprised.

"Well, I was not short of money before. At that time, I had another house and three storefronts. I don’t need to tell you what happened next. I got back hundreds of thousands of yuan in total.

Including savings, it is less than one million. What can this money do?

Moreover, I am not afraid of you laughing at me. This money has been spent on buying salted fish and daily expenses. Our family is now only glamorous on the surface, but in fact, the foundation has long gone. "Section Chief Li smiled bitterly.

"I remember that you seem to have a group of tobacco and wine bars here? "

"As for cigarettes and alcohol, you have already emptied them. To be honest, the reason why your aunt was able to give birth to Li Tao safely was really thanks to the things you sent." Section Chief Li sighed.

Xu Dong was a little embarrassed.

No wonder Section Chief Li has changed less things recently. It seems that except for milk powder, he has not asked much for other things. But Director Cao is still the same as always.

"Uncle Li, are you sure you really want to leave?"

Section Chief Li nodded heavily: "It's confirmed. The transfer order will come down next month at the latest. I will do my best to help you with the operation. You should also work harder on your own relationships. Don't let the cooked duck fly away."

"Thank you, Uncle Li!"

Xu Dong toasted the other party with tea instead of wine.
