"Dongzi, if you work hard, you may have a chance to meet the big boss. As far as I know, the big boss will convene a summary meeting for all the major companies every weekend."

Xu Dong laughed at himself: "I am a gatekeeper, why would I attend a work meeting!"

"You will be qualified if you are promoted two or three levels. It will take no more than ten years to get promoted every three years." Ma Jie encouraged.

"How can it be so easy? You can't get promoted just because you want to. There is no such thing as a natural outcome. I almost lost my promotion to section chief this time."

"You have only worked for two years and you can get promoted to section chief. It's already fast!"

Ma Jie has always thought that his brother-in-law is awesome. He got promoted to section chief as soon as he said he would. For him, it seems that getting promoted is easier than drinking water.

"Okay, let's not talk about this! Brother-in-law, how will you arrange your work here next?"

"Thanks to your sister, when the work is finished, I should be transferred back to Langfang to manage logistics there, and I won't have to go to the construction site anymore." Ma Jie sighed.

Xu Dong asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, from your tone, you don't seem very happy?"

"It's comfortable to sit in the office, but it's a pity that I get a fixed salary, at most 10,000 yuan a month, less than a quarter of what I get now."

"It's enough to have enough money, why do you need so much?"

"You can't say that, Lingling is about to go to college, and I have to prepare a wedding house for Xiaoxu in the future, which is not a big expense?" Ma Jie explained.

"Lingling's grades are so good that she can get a lot of scholarships every year, so you don't have to worry about it. As for Xiaoxu, it's normal for him not to be able to buy a house. At worst, he can apply for public rental housing. It doesn't matter where he lives," Xu Dong comforted.

Ma Jie said unhappily: "Tsk tsk, according to what you said, Dabao and his family will also live in public rental housing in the future?"

"If you have the conditions, buy a house. If you don't have the conditions, then you can only live in public rental housing."

Xu Dong probably understood what his brother-in-law meant.

Ma Xu and Dabao are of the same age. Ma Jie doesn't want his son to fall too far behind, or even lose face in front of his cousins.

"See, you look down on public rental housing from the bottom of your heart. If you have the opportunity to buy a house, who would be willing to live in public rental housing?"

"Don't you have a house at home, and it's a three-bedroom and one-living-room apartment? Why don't you let Xiaoxu live at home? When you have children, you can help take care of your grandchildren."

"Langfang's development is far behind. I still want him to work in Yanjing. At worst, he can go to Tianjin. It's better than staying in Langfang."

"Now there is a subway. It takes at most one or two hours to go back and forth. It's the same as living in Langfang." Xu Dong advised.

Ma Jie couldn't help but voice out his last concern: "You know your sister's temper, she's too strong. I'm afraid that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will have conflicts when they live together."

"If it doesn't work, let Xiaoxu find a gentler wife. I think Nisang's wife is pretty good." Xu Dong took the opportunity to tease.

"What nonsense! How can we live together if we don't speak the same language?"

"Don't worry, language is definitely not a problem."

Xu Dong was very sure, because according to his memory of his previous life, a few years after the establishment of the Asian Alliance, the language and writing of Daxia would quickly become popular, and in fact became the only official language of the Asian Alliance.

"I don't know where you get your confidence from?" Ma Jie was a little amused.

"Just wait and see!"

"I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I still have work to do here. I'll hang up first."

"Bye!"

...

It was the weekend again in a blink of an eye.

Xu Dong wanted to sleep in, but was woken up by a call from his mother.

"Mom, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

"Get up quickly, the vegetables at home are almost gone, go to the grain store and buy some, and bring back this month's rations."

Mother Xu sat at the head of the bed, counting with a small notebook. Although she was not mobile, she still had to take care of the family.

"Can't you go later?"

"The vegetables in the morning are the freshest. If you go late, the good ones will be picked up. You are not a child, why do you sleep in? Get up quickly."

Xu Dong could only resign himself to his fate and opened the quilt: "Okay, get up right away."

After washing up, he drank a bowl of rice porridge.

"Husband, here's the ration card." Yang Lina handed over the ration card.

Xu Dong took it casually and asked:

"How much rations does our family have this month?"

"Total is about 148 kilograms, 4 kilograms of corn flour, 8 kilograms of vegetables, and the rest are potatoes and sweet potatoes." Yang Lina introduced.

Xu Dong secretly calculated and found that it was less than last month. Since they have many children, they can get some preferential treatment. Other families will really have to eat dirt.

And Yanjing is still like this, not to mention other cities, which must be even more difficult.

"Alas, life is getting harder and harder."

Yang Lina couldn't help rolling her eyes: "You are a big man, I don't know where you get so sentimental. When did our family run out of food? With me here, you won't starve."

"Hey, I should say this, right? The food at home is all stored up by me with great effort. Without me, you mothers will really have to starve." Xu Dong said proudly.

"Can you cook?"

"Uh, who said I can't cook? I can stew." Xu Dong said confidently.

The current stew does not require any cooking skills.

Add vegetables, water, and salt!

If conditions permit, add a little homemade sauce.

In less than ten minutes, a delicious stew was ready. In many cases, "hunger" is the best seasoning, pure and natural without additives.

"You can only stew meat well. Mark won't even eat other stews. Don't brag. Go buy vegetables after eating."

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, Xu Dong appeared at the door of the grain store with a basket of vegetables. Compared with the crowds at the beginning of the month, it was obviously much quieter at this time.

A total of three trips back and forth, in the end there were only 5 kilograms of vegetables left on the grain card. All the grain was bought out, and 10 kilograms of vegetables were also bought.

My mother can be idle and come to buy vegetables on time every day, but he doesn't have this patience. Basically, he buys a full basket at a time, anyway, there is a refrigerator at home.

He firmly rejected the purchase requests of the second-hand dealers, and also sent away some people who wanted to exchange for coarse grains. The more low-key it is at this time, the more low-key it is.

Suddenly, a surprised voice called him.

"Brother Xu, I finally found you."

"Uh, you are..."

Looking at the young woman in front of him, Xu Dong felt familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a while.

"I'm Song Lin, the person who wanted to buy your pork last year. Later, you came to our house. Have you forgotten?"

Xu Dong patted his head. He finally remembered that at that time, for the sake of Xiao Baobao, he also sold the other party five pounds of tuna meat.

"Long time no see, did the baby get better later?" Xu Dong asked with concern.

"Well, thanks to your fish meat, Chenchen drank fish soup, and his body had resistance. The cold was completely cured in a few days."

"I'm glad you're fine!"

Song Lin said angrily: "Brother Xu, I sent you so many text messages and wanted to invite you to have a meal at home, why didn't you reply?"

"Now that food is so scarce, there's no need to have a meal." Xu Dong waved his hand.

At that time, he just did it casually, and things were over and over, so there was no need to entangle.
