My courtyard shelter

In a small supermarket facing the street, Xu Jingyi and Pan Jun sat opposite each other, drinking chrysanthemum tea and chatting. Google search reading

"Brother Pan, your navy should go abroad often, right?"

"So be it!"

"What countries have you been to?"

Xu Jingyi asked curiously.

"I've basically been to Kangaroo Country, South Asia, the Philippines, and Europe. However, our main job is to escort ships. Most of them only dock at ports for supplies, and rarely go ashore."

"Isn't it very chaotic abroad?"

Pan Jun took a sip of water: "The first two years were indeed a bit chaotic, but the past two years have been much better. Foreign countries are not as exaggerated as everyone imagined, and it is generally calm."

Pan Jun did not say the specific reason, but Xu Jingyi could probably guess it. It was simply that the population was almost exhausted and a certain balance was reached.

"How is life abroad? Is it miserable?"

“This needs to be treated differently. Europe is almost the same as us. Food and clothing are basically no problem;

The Philippines and South Asia are relatively miserable. They have always lived a miserable life, and famines occur from time to time. Large numbers of beggars can often be seen at the ports;

Things are not going well in the Kangaroo Country. The refugee problem there is very serious. Many people simply choose to immigrate abroad. In my estimation, the remaining people will not last long. "

"What about the beautiful country? Have you been to it?"

Pan Jun shook his head: "No, there are few islands and pirates in the Pacific, so there is basically no need for escort... And the most important thing is that the west coast of the beautiful country is almost deserted, and there is not much trade volume at all."

"Can we still go to the east coast?"

"We can't go. The Panama Canal has long been blocked and navigation is impossible. We have to go around South America. In this case, we might as well take the Atlantic route westward or the Arctic route."

"Arctic route?"

"The Arctic route is only navigable in the summer, and the total length of the year is less than four months. Most of the time, we still have to take the Atlantic route."

"Brother Pan, you know so much!"

Xu Jingyi praised.

Pan Jun said modestly: "It's nothing. What I'm talking about is common sense. You only need to go abroad for a while and you will know everything."

"I don't dare to go abroad. If my parents find out, they will skin me."

Xu Jingyi stuck out her tongue playfully.

Pan Jun didn't expect that the other party had such a cute side, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Ahem..."

Xu Jingyi's face turned red and she fanned herself with her palms.

Pan Jun finally reacted and quickly drank some water to cover up, "Jingyi, if you want to go abroad, why not wait another year or two for Southeast Asia to stabilize and I will take you to travel there."

With the signing of the Asian Mutual Treaty, I believe that it will not take long for the entire Southeast Asian region to stabilize quickly, and by then going abroad will basically be equivalent to leaving the state.

"Okay!" Xu Jingyi agreed with a smile.

Pan Jun's confidence increased greatly after hearing this. The meaning of this sentence was very obvious. The other party also had a good impression of him, at least he did not reject it.

The two chatted for more than an hour, until Xu's mother called and asked them to go back for dinner.

Back at the courtyard, the two of them had just walked in.

Tan Aifang quickly pulled her daughter into the bedroom. Wang Xiujuan and Yang Lina were also there. It seemed that the three of them were going to have a "three-chamber trial."

Wang Xiujuan got straight to the point and said, "Jingyi, have you fallen in love with Pan Jun?"

"Grandma Wang, how could you ask that? Isn't it too direct?" Xu Jingyi said shyly.

"Aunt Wang, sister-in-law, it seems that Jingyi must have taken a liking to the young man. He is indeed a good guy. Although he is a bit dark, he is tall and handsome, and his personality seems to be good."

Tan Aifang sighed and said, "It's just that my work is not that good. If I get married, I won't be able to see each other a few times a year."

"Aifang, this is not as bad as you think. Pan Jun is now a lieutenant. When he is promoted to a school officer, he will have more vacations, and maybe he can apply to stay in Hong Kong!"

Yang Lina helped persuade: "Yes, young people should put their careers first, and there is no need to stay together every day. Isn't there a saying that says, a little separation is better than a new marriage."

"Auntie, what did you say?"

Xu Jingyi said coquettishly.

Tan Aifang stared into her daughter's eyes and asked:

"Jingyi, tell mom honestly, do you want to date that Pan Jun?"

"Mom, Brother Pan is very good."

Wang Xiujuan patted her thigh: "That's right. Since the two children have a crush on each other, let's let them get along for a while and then see!"

"Jingyi, have you thought about it?"

Tan Aifang wanted to confirm her daughter's thoughts.

Xu Jingyi nodded.

"Well, you are not a child anymore. Your father and I have no objection to your dating. You can just make up your own mind!"

Tan Aifang took her daughter's hand and said.

"Thank you mom!"

"Silly boy, what can I say to my mother to thank you? As long as you are happy, your parents will do anything."

"mom……"

Tan Aifang waved her hand: "Okay, your grandma is calling, let's go over and eat!"

Soon, the restaurant was filled with people.

Xu Jingyi and Pan Jun were arranged to sit together.

Because there were outsiders, and in order to keep a low profile, although the lunch was very sumptuous, it was still far behind compared to usual times.

There was only one meat dish, a large bowl of steamed salted fish, and the rest were vegetarian dishes, including fried eggs with leeks, lettuce with garlic, dry-pot cabbage, stir-fried beans, braised eggplant, glutinous rice balls, tomatoes with sugar, and fried peanuts.

Finally, there was a pot of seaweed and dried shrimp egg drop soup.

There weren't many dried shrimps, so it wasn't considered a meat dish.

Pan Jun was generally calm. The navy often went abroad, so he had many opportunities to feast on food. He had eaten a lot of big lobsters as long as his arm.

Pan Ying was not so good. The little girl couldn't stop her throat from surging up and down when she smelled the aroma of the food. It was really too tempting.

Xu Ma hurriedly called out: "Pan Jun, Pan Ying, hurry up and pick up your chopsticks, just like at home, don't be polite."

After Xu Ma said that, she helped each of them pick up a piece of salted fish.

"Thank you, grandma!"

The brother and sister hurriedly thanked her.

Soon, the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively, and Pan Jun took the opportunity to tell some interesting stories overseas, causing everyone to exclaim again and again.

Xu Bin was the only one drinking alone at the scene. His daughter, whom he had raised for 22 years, was about to be married off to an outsider. There was no way he could be happy.

If the young man was not so outstanding and there were no obvious shortcomings, he would have to make a fuss.

Xu Dong raised his glass and clinked it with his elder brother, and advised in a low voice:

"Boss, look at it more open-mindedly!"

"That sounds good, but when Coco and Lele get married, I want to see if you are really that open-minded?"

Xu Bin said unhappily.

"Well, okay, when Jingyi gets married, I will buy her a wedding house next to the newspaper office, so that you can see each other every day."

"Really?" Xu Bin suddenly became excited.

"The company has been doing well recently, don't worry!"

Xu Dong said generously.

The situation in Hancheng is very good. All the cheap apartments have been rented out. The monthly rent alone is more than 20 million, and in a few years, there will be a huge amount of income.

In comparison, giving my eldest niece a wedding house is really just a drizzle.

"Thank you, Lao San."

Xu Bin took the initiative to offer a glass of wine.

Lao San wants to give a wedding house, plus the house promised by his father, so their family will have two houses, which is enough for this life.

"Why are you being polite to me!"

Xu Dong raised his wine glass and clinked it with the other party.

At the same time, several children were eating in the living room. There were guests at home, and their mother did not let them sit at the table. The little guys could eat and watch TV at the same time.

Da Bao asked his grandmother to help him pick up a large bowl of dishes, and then returned to the living room with the rice bowl.

"Niuniu, here's the food."

Da Bao gave half of the dishes in the bowl to Niuniu.

There were guests at home today, and Xu's mother persuaded Niuniu's mother to let Niuniu stay.

"Thank you, brother Da Bao."

Niuniu squinted her eyes, and her little face was full of smiles.

Dabao acted like a big brother: "Niuniu, eat as much as you want. I'll get more after you finish."

Lele hated Dabao's warm-hearted look the most, so he stretched out his hand and pinched his cheek, and at the same time, he did not forget to tease:

"Second sister wants to eat too, why don't you share some with her?"

"If you don't let go, I'll be angry!"

Dabao said angrily.

Erbao and Xiaobao looked at their big brother at the same time.

Niuniu quickly put down the bowl, stepped forward and grabbed Lele's arm, and pleaded with her face:

"Sister Lele, please don't bully brother Dabao, okay?"

"Puff!"

Lele looked at Niuniu, then at Dadi, and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, for the sake of your little wife, I'll let you go today."

Niuniu shyly hid behind Dabao.

Dabao glared at his second sister, then pulled Niuniu to sit aside and continue eating.

There were guests at home today, and his mother had told him early in the morning not to quarrel with his second sister, and that he should set a good example for his younger brothers.

After dinner, Yang Lina brought out a plate of watermelon.

"Pan Jun, Pan Ying, eat watermelon!"

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Pan Ying couldn't eat more after eating a piece of watermelon. She was so full that she could only stare at the watermelon.

After a half-hour break, Xu Bin and his wife went back to open the store, and brought a meal to Tan Bangxiang.

Pan Jun made an appointment with Xu Jingyi to watch a movie together.

As for Pan Ying, of course she would not be a light bulb, and went home directly under the pretext of going back to school.

Pan's mother was still waiting at home!

...

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Pan's mother opened the door and asked directly: "How is it going? Where is your brother?"

"My brother went to the movies with my future sister-in-law."

"So, it's done?"

Pan's mother was overjoyed.

Pan Ying nodded: "My brother is so handsome, do you still need to ask!"

"Oh, now your father and I can finally rest assured."

Pan's father interrupted: "How are their family members?"

"They are all good and look very friendly."

"That's good, I'm afraid of meeting unreasonable people." Pan's mother was relieved.

Pan Ying handed the bag in her hand to her mother: "Mom, this is a return gift from their family."

"You are really ignorant, how can the man come to the door and take back the gift?" Pan's mother complained.

"I don't want to accept it either, it was my sister-in-law's grandmother who forced it on me." Pan Ying explained.

"Okay, we have accepted it, and we will double it next time."

Pan's father helped persuade.
