My courtyard shelter

"Okay, put away your little thoughts. Mom knows you want to help your classmates. I will say hello to your grandfather."

"Thank you, Mom!"

The next day, the answers to the college entrance examination came out.

Ma Lingling was very confident in her grades. She did not go to school to check the answers. Instead, she slept under the quilt for a day and a night.

…

It was working hours at the power company.

Although it was the Dragon Boat Festival today, there was no holiday, but the whole company was still full of a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.

The reason is simple. Everyone is looking forward to the upcoming holiday benefits.

"Xiao Xiang, this is our new colleague Ren Li."

"Ren Li, this is Xiang Xin, the captain of our security department. Because of the epidemic, she has taken a long vacation and is taking care of her children at home."

Lao Fang introduced the two.

If it weren't for the big age difference between the two and the fact that Ren Li is disabled, they would be a very suitable couple.

"Captain Xiang, hello!" Ren Li greeted immediately.

Xiang Xin waved her hand: "Don't call me Captain Xiang, it makes me look old. Just call me Sister Xiang!"

"Sister Xiang!" Ren Li tried to call her.

Xiang Xin nodded with satisfaction, and then asked:

"Xiao Ren, where are you from?"

"I'm from Yuzhou."

"Are you used to the work?"

Ren Li nodded: "Fortunately, everyone takes good care of me, and the work is relatively easy."

"There is not much work in our security department. If you are bored, you can read more books. Reading books can increase your knowledge and make you happy."

Ren Li nodded quickly.

Lao Fang took the opportunity to tease: "Xiao Xiang, why haven't I seen you read a book? Someone seems to hide in the office every day to watch TV series."

"Who hides? I have to take care of the children. How can I have time to read a book?" Xiang Xin retorted.

"Hehe, time is squeezed out. I don't think you have the intention at all."

Xiang Xin was about to fight back.

Lao Fang suddenly pointed at the gate and shouted: "The section chief is back, go and see if there is really white sugar?"

Since the beginning of the month, there have been rumors within the company that there will be a big wave of benefits during the Dragon Boat Festival. Everyone was skeptical at first.

After all, there are always similar rumors within the company during major holidays.

However, at a routine work meeting, General Manager Liao accidentally leaked a little wind, and then the word "white sugar" was like a whirlwind, quickly sweeping the entire company.

Sister Feng rushed over first.

"Section Chief, is there any white sugar?"

Xu Dong smiled and nodded: "Can what General Manager Liao said be false?"

"It's true!" Everyone was overjoyed.

"Boss, how much does each person get?" Xiang Xin asked immediately.

Xu Dong directly stretched out four fingers!

"Four taels? Not too little." Sister Feng muttered to herself.

Xu Dong hurriedly shook his head: "What four taels? It's four catties. Four catties for each person. This time, it doesn't matter whether it's cadres or employees. Everyone gets the same."

At the beginning of the year, the yellow croaker was distributed.

It was because the cadres above the director level were given one more than the ordinary employees, which caused great controversy within the company.

If it was normal, it would be fine. Everyone would not lack this thing. However, in the current environment, it undoubtedly magnified everyone's dissatisfaction.

Although everyone dared not say it openly, they still had the courage to gossip behind their backs. Fortunately, General Manager Liao took the initiative to donate the yellow croaker, otherwise there would be greater troubles.

"Four catties?" Everyone was stunned.

"Why are you all silent?"

Xu Dong laughed and teased.

"Long live! Long live!"

Everyone cheered instantly, and at almost the same time, cheers also rang out in the next office.

After everyone had vented enough, Xu Dong pressed his hands down: "Don't be too happy yet. This time the benefits are a little different from before. You need to pay for the sugar yourself."

"How much?" Xiang Xin asked nervously.

"3,000 yuan per catty, four catties is a total of 12,000 yuan, the money will be deducted from this month's salary, everyone has no objection, right?"

Everyone shook their heads hurriedly. The price of sugar is not outrageous. It is basically within everyone's acceptable range. No fool would refuse.

"Okay, since you all agree, then line up to get the things!" Xu Dong said with a smile.

After receiving the benefits, everyone left with a smile, and the office became quiet again.

Xu Dong called Xiang Xin:

"Xiao Xiang, is the baby okay?"

Xiang Xin nodded: "Our home is almost becoming a doomsday fortress. Now, except for going out to buy daily necessities, we don't go out at all."

"It won't hurt to be careful!"

"Boss, when will the epidemic end?"

The house is too boring, Xiang Xin wants to go back to work early. Besides, my daughter has been used to eating an egg every day. It's only been two months since she stopped eating, and she looks much thinner.

As a mother, I feel very distressed!

Xu Dong shook his head: "How do I know, but the virus is afraid of heat, it shouldn't exceed August."

"There are still two months?" Xiang Xin looked disappointed.

"Isn't it good to have paid leave? If I were you, I would be so happy." Xu Dong said unhappily.

"I can't explain it to you clearly, I'm leaving." Xiang Xin said angrily.

"Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?"

Xu Dong picked up a bag of sugar on the table and handed it to the other party: "When you go back, send the sugar to Lao Gu's house, so that I don't have to go there in person after get off work."

"Ah... I thought..."

"What are you thinking, you haven't gotten enough benefits from me? Don't ask for more!" Xu Dong teased.

"No, I'm talking about Sister Gao..."

Xiang Xin quickly found an excuse.

"Don't worry about Lao Gao, I have my own arrangements." Xu Dong replied.

Xiang Xin nodded, then ran out in a panic with two bags of sugar, it was really embarrassing just now.

After Xiang Xin left, Xu Dong divided his share of sugar into two equal parts.

Then, he called Datou over with the intercom. Datou's wife was pregnant, and he could help as much as he could.

Datou was very touched and wrote an IOU to his boss on the spot. He didn't expect that he, a dispatched worker, would also get a share of the benefits this time.

"Why write an IOU? If you dare to default on your debt, you may lose your job." Xu Dong joked with a smile.

"Boss, brothers should settle accounts clearly!"

Xu Dong took the IOU and took a look:

"8,000 yuan is too much. You must have heard about the price of sugar. 6,000 yuan for two kilograms is just right."

Datou shook his head stubbornly, threw down the IOU and ran away.

Xu Dong called him twice but he didn't stop.

In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly and put the IOU in the drawer.

During lunch break, Xu Dong went to the cafeteria.

Since the cafeteria reform, the number of dispatched workers has suddenly decreased by two-thirds. Gao Yuemei has turned a disaster into a blessing, and her situation has improved a lot.

"Sister Gao, are you there?"

Gao Yuemei heard the voice and immediately came out to greet him: "Section Chief Xu, why are you here?"

"Just call me Xiao Xu, it doesn't matter whether I'm a section chief or not." Xu Dong waved his hand.

"How can this be? If others hear it, they will think I'm taking advantage of my age!"

Gao Yuemei didn't want to change her words. The feeling is something that will be used less and less.

I can't repay you, but at least I know the favor.
