My courtyard shelter

"Okay, then I'll come over the morning after tomorrow."

Xu Ting agreed simply. As for the children, she could prepare the meals first, then put them in the refrigerator and heat them up when eating.

"Thank you, sister."

"Why are you being polite to me? Nana returns to her parents' home. Do you want to follow her?"

She was also one of the participants in the mess at her brother's house, and knew all about it. If her parents hadn't stopped her, for fear of ruining the third child's marriage, she would have run over and caused a huge mess.

His wife was next to him. Xu Dong didn't say much, but simply replied:

"Not going."

"It's okay if you don't go. It's better to stay away from people like them."

Over the years, not only Xu Dong has been worried about the bride price, but Xu Ting has also been worried about it. She has never encountered such a shameless family.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Dong gave his wife an OK gesture, and then immediately booked a flight for her, including the return flight.

Although the price of domestic flights is not affordable, it is not as exaggerated as international flights. The total cost of two round-trip tickets is more than 13,000 yuan.

It is more than five times more expensive than a high-speed rail ticket.

As for the reason?

Xu Dong speculated that the degree of localization of high-speed rail is too high, almost 100%. Even if the global supply chain is broken, production can still continue;

This is not the case for civil aviation passenger aircraft. Although there is domestic production capacity, many parts must be imported, and there is almost one less aircraft.

Even the United States and the European Union have not delivered a single new passenger aircraft in the past two years due to supply chain problems, and all civil aviation companies are resting on their laurels.

…

On April 8th, a new week begins.

Since April, the overall share of food rations has been reduced a lot. Without additional sources of food, most families will really have to tighten their belts to get by.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the company's logistics department suddenly sent out a notice, which basically meant that starting from next week, the canteen will only provide heating service and will no longer provide ready-made meals.

As the food supply became increasingly tight, the canteen also encountered difficulties and could no longer sustain itself, so it had to carry out reforms.

In other words, small welfare benefits for state-owned enterprises are coming to an end.

As soon as the notice came out, it immediately caused an uproar throughout the company. In the security department, everyone secretly walked back to the office to find out further information.

Sister Feng said with a bitter face: "What's this? It's just a dinner. I'm thinking about harvesting the company's wool. Now, I'll kill the sheep directly."

"What's there to complain about? Don't you eat twice a day yourself?" Lao Fang said impatiently.

"Our work requires us to work overtime and night shifts. Those who sit in the office get off work at 5:30. Why is it the same?"

Uncle Chen waved his hand: "It's too late to say anything now. I just exchanged my meal tickets a few days ago. Did the cafeteria tell me how to deal with these meal tickets?"

"You can go directly to the logistics office to return the meal tickets. If you find it troublesome, you can also directly exchange them for money." Xiang Xin replied.

"I'm stupid, what's the point of changing it into money?"

"A pound of food stamps costs 300 yuan, which is higher than the black market price. It's a lot!" Xiang Xin said with emotion.

"No matter how high I am, I won't change it. Now I can't buy food with money. It's not like I haven't been to Panjiayuan before. I can't buy food for a long time." Uncle Chen shook his head.

Their family had already spent three hundred kilograms of rice on finding a job for Chen Yang. From now on, this business was a big loss.

If I had known this, it would be better for my grandson to stay in the power company. Temporary workers are just temporary workers. After all, no matter how much salary I earn, I can't buy food.

Their family is a typical family that sacrifices the basics for the last.

Xu Dong just came back from Director Cao's place. When he saw that the office was full of people, he couldn't help but scolded:

"What are you doing here, don't you want to work?"

"Section Chief, we just came back to take a look, it won't delay anything." Uncle Chen said flatteringly.

"Boss, what did the director say? Can the canteen be restored?" Xiang Xin asked quickly.

Xu Dong shook his head: "It can't be recovered. Starting from next week, everyone must bring their own lunch boxes. Those who find it troublesome can also bring bread."

"Ah...how could this happen?" Sister Feng sighed.

"Didn't Uncle Li stock up hundreds of kilograms of rice for everyone? You are not short of food, so there is nothing to sigh about."

More than 700 kilograms of rice, even if more than a year has passed, at least half will still be left. If replaced with whole grains, it can definitely last another three or four years.

After three or four years, and after another one or two years, the most difficult stage will be over, not to mention that this is the capital, so no matter what, there is no chance of a major famine.

"Section Chief, our family now only has less than two hundred kilograms left."

Lao Fang complained endlessly. In order to marry a wife, he spent one-third of the rice. In addition, he was usually out of control. If the family had not been small, he would have eaten it all long ago.

"Section Chief, our family is similar." Uncle Chen said bitterly.

Xiang Xin, on the other hand, looked indifferent. Thanks to Xu Dong's reminder, she not only stocked up 750 kilograms of rice, but her family and her husband's family also stocked up on thousands of kilograms each.

So in the short term, their family will not be short of food.

But everyone else nodded silently.

Although the food in the canteen is not good, it at least solves the problem of food rations for an adult. In a year, it is equivalent to saving one or two hundred kilograms of food, which is not a small amount.

Xu Dong took off his police hat and scratched his scalp. In this situation, he couldn't get food. Although his family had stored a lot, he was not noble enough to sacrifice himself for others.

"I have reminded you a long time ago that the drought will not end in a short time. You must learn to save and be thrifty, but you are all so good..."

"Chief, we don't want to, but this worldly wisdom is sometimes unavoidable. In addition, you often tempt us with good things. Counting butter and emperor goose meat, no matter how much food there is, it can't be saved!"

Uncle Chen took the opportunity to complain.

"So, is it wrong for me to introduce good things to you?" Xu Dong said unhappily.

Sister Feng quickly helped explain: "Section Chief, what Lao Chen meant was that we couldn't store rice, and we can't blame it all. After all, every family has its own problems."

"Okay, I don't mean anything else."

Xu Dong waved his hand:

"Finally, I'll tell you something from the bottom of my heart. The drought is far from over, and there's still a long time to go!

Now nothing can be relied on, only food is the biggest support, everyone must seize the remaining food and don't waste it easily."

"Section Chief, do you have any other channels..."

Sister Feng tried to find out. The person in front of her is a real rich second generation, and his family has a bakery. Maybe there are special channels.

Xu Dong quickly interrupted and said: "Don't think about it. Mr. Liao can't find a way. You think too highly of me. We do have a bakery, but the raw materials are under the control of the city. I can't intervene even if I want to."
