My courtyard shelter

Time flies!

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. Google search reading

Ma Lingling has graduated from college and is currently working in a bakery; the Coco sisters have become sophomores; the Dabao brothers have also entered junior high school.

Xu Dong officially took over the position of director last year.

Looking back on the past five years, many major events have also occurred internationally.

First of all, the disintegration of the European Grand Alliance.

This was the biggest international news in the 1920s. The fundamental reason can be summarized in one sentence, that is, the differences between the parties are too great.

A typical example of sharing happiness and not sharing difficulties.

It can also be described in one sentence: Poor couples are sad about everything, and they each fly away when disaster strikes!

Secondly, the glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic melted three years ago, and mankind lost the largest freshwater reserve on the blue planet. It was also in this year that water prices in various countries almost simultaneously soared to varying degrees.

In Daxia, the water price has tripled.

The current water price is 300 yuan per ton.

Third, the Asian Mutual Treaty Organization has expanded southward, absorbing Kangaroo Country and New Zealand, and the number of member states has reached 16 in one fell swoop.

Fourth, the International Space Station has been successfully operating for three years, especially in space breeding, and has achieved many scientific research results.

Fifth, all countries have jointly signed the Antarctic Protocol, and the entire Asian Mutual Treaty Organization has obtained the trusteeship of 7.7 million square kilometers of land.

…

December 28, 2030 in the Daxia calendar, in three days, the new year is coming again.

Today happened to be Saturday. According to the usual practice, Xu Jingyi brought her two sons to the courtyard, one to visit grandparents, and the other to get some delicious food and drinks.

She and Pan Jun got married in May 26. Less than a year after marriage, she gave birth to her eldest son Pan Hongze, and then gave birth to her second son Xu Hongpei last year.

The girl next door back then has become a young woman today.

"Grandma, Little Lion is here to see you."

Little Lion is Pan Hongze's nickname. The little guy is four years old this year, chubby and very cute.

When the three brothers Dabao heard the voice of their eldest nephew, they quickly put away all the toys and figures in the bedroom.

Now the two little guys are the most favored in the family. Who makes them the youngest? The whole family basically obeys them.

The status of the three brothers has been unprecedentedly challenged.

Mother Xu was picking vegetables. When she saw her great-grandson, she quickly put down her work and picked up the little guy.

Over the years, Mother Xu didn't seem to have changed much, except that there were more white hairs on her head.

"Little Lion, do you miss Grandma?"

"Yes."

In order to prove himself, Little Lion kissed Grandma hard on the face.

Mother Xu teased her great-grandson for a while, and then put the little guy on the ground. After all, she was over sixty years old and her physical strength was not as good as before.

"Uncles are in the room, go play with them. Grandma has cooked some delicious chicken soup, come out and drink some soup later."

The little lion's eyes lit up, and then he ran into the house. He loved grandma's house so much. Not only was there delicious food, but there were also many fun toys.

Xu Jingyi reminded from behind: "Run slowly, don't fall."

Mother Xu pulled her granddaughter into the living room.

"Grandma, where are uncle and aunt?"

"One of your uncle's old leaders passed away, and they both left early in the morning."

The old leader that Mother Xu mentioned was Director Cao. The old guy was diagnosed with stomach cancer during a physical examination before the New Year, and he eventually didn't make it through this year.

"Will you come back at noon?"

"Of course you will come back. If you don't come back, what will they eat?" Mother Xu said with certainty.

Although Daxia's food production capacity can already meet the daily needs of all citizens, even the member states of the Asia Mutual Treaty, it is still quite tight overall and cannot tolerate any waste.

"That's good. Isn't my uncle going to Hancheng? My mother-in-law wants to bring some clothes to Little Lion's grandfather, and wants my uncle to help bring them."

Xu Jingyi explained.

Father-in-law was transferred to Hancheng for garrison five years ago, and has been there for five years now, but I heard that he should be transferred back to Yanjing next year.

My mother-in-law has been looking forward to it for so long, and the old couple can finally be reunited.

"Just send the stuff over tomorrow. Your uncle is leaving next Monday. Don't miss the time."

"Okay, the stuff has been packed."

"Well, can Pan Jun come back for the New Year this year?"

Xu Jingyi smiled bitterly and shook her head: "The situation in North Africa has been unstable recently. Their fleet has a mission and can't come back for the time being."

"Alas, look at how you two are living..."

"Grandma, it's okay. I'm used to it."

Mother Xu didn't want to talk about the bad things anymore, so she changed the topic: "How is Bangxiang? Has the time been decided?"

"It's decided. The wedding will be held on the third day of the New Year."

Tan Bangxiang has dated three girlfriends over the years. In the end, it was Da Jie who helped him find a reliable candidate.

Although the other party is not a local resident of Yanjing, she is very beautiful and Tan Bangxiang fell in love with her at first sight.

Tan Aifang wanted to object, but Tan Aimin and his wife both agreed, so she could only send her blessings in the end.

"It's good that it's settled. The child is not young anymore. It's not a solution to delay it any longer."

Xu Ma said happily.

"Bangxiang can be considered as a man of cultivation."

At this time, the little son in Xu Jingyi's arms woke up, and Xu's mother immediately helped the little boy peel a kumquat.

"Little Huzi, Grandma has something delicious here. Open your mouth quickly."

"I want to eat... I want to eat..."

"Is it sweet?"

"sweet!"

While feeding the oranges, Xu's mother sighed: "What I'm most worried about now is Lingling. She's not young anymore, and she doesn't even have a boyfriend."

"Grandma, Lingling is now a company executive. She is busy all day long. How can she have time to fall in love? Let me tell you, just give her a long vacation."

Ma Lingling's career was very smooth. She became the head of the marketing department less than two years after graduation. Of course, if you include her part-time job and internship time, six years is not a short period of time.

"Oh, if I had known this, I wish I hadn't let her enter the bakery. Now she looks like a strong woman."

Xu Ma shook her head helplessly.

"Is there any news from Grandma Wang?"

"I've met several of them but I'm still not satisfied. Your aunt is also very anxious and doesn't know what to do."

"Would you like my mother-in-law to help introduce you?"

Xu Jingyi suggested.

"Your mother-in-law?"

"Yes, my mother-in-law likes to introduce people to people recently. I will go back and tell her and ask her to help keep an eye on it."

Xu Ma thought for a while, then nodded and agreed.

Most of the people introduced by Lao Wang are civil servants. The homogeneity is too serious. Maybe there will be surprises in changing careers.

…

At the same time, Xu Bin and his wife had just come out of the funeral home. Yang Lina took a taxi and went back first, while Xu Dong was left behind by Director Li.

The two found a teahouse.

Xu Dong filled the tea for the other party and said earnestly: "Uncle Li, Uncle Cao left too fast. You must take care of yourself and don't work too hard."

"Go away, I'm in good health. People like Lao Cao who sit in the office every day and lack of exercise are most likely to have problems." Director Li said angrily.

"Okay, it's whatever you always say!"

Xu Dong smiled and nodded.

Director Li took a sip of tea and asked smoothly:

"That Li Wei, do you still have contact?"

Xu Dong shook his head: "In the past few years, I still called occasionally. Since Director Cao retired, we have gradually become distant from each other. What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Director Li waved his hand, "It's okay to end it. People like him who like political speculation are not the same as you. Just don't talk to him."

"I think so too. Section Chief Li is too ambitious. He wanted to form a gang before, but I rejected him directly."

"By the way, Lao Feng and the others are about to retire. This time the security department will have to replace a lot of people. What are your plans?"

Director Li expressed concern.

Lao Fang retired last year, and three more people will retire all at once this year. The entire security department will need to undergo a major overhaul.

"What plans can I have? The quotas have been arranged by the above. The city bureau recommended one person and two retired soldiers."

Since the signing of the Asia-Pacific Mutual Treaty, domestic border defense pressure has been greatly reduced. In contrast, many personnel have been laid off in the past two years.

Director Li nodded and then asked:

"What is Lao Fang doing now?"

"He opened a small supermarket after retirement, but it closed down within three months. I saw that he really didn't have the brains, so I arranged for him to join our bakery as a security captain."

“I’ve also heard about your bakery, and it seems like the pay is quite good!”

After years of development, Coca-Cola Bread Factory has become the leader in the domestic food industry and the largest food exporter.

In addition, it has established five branch factories at home and abroad, with an annual production of more than 2.5 million tons of various breads. Last year alone, it achieved a net profit of 800 million yuan.

The development momentum is very rapid.

Xu Dong joked: "If you always want to go in, I can help introduce you."

"Hey, do I look like someone who is about to retire?"

To be honest, Director Li feels a bit like a second spring since he became the director of the branch. Anyway, he is getting more energetic and energetic.

"It's not very similar!" Xu Dong replied truthfully.

"I won't bullshit you anymore. I came to you this time because I want to ask you for help with something."

Director Li said seriously.

"What's going on?" Xu Dong looked curious.

"Can you still get sugar over there?"

Xu Dong nodded: "Yes, yes, but why do you want sugar?"

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I want to help the people below get some benefits."

Director Li replied.

"It's too early. There's still more than half a month before the New Year?" Xu Dong said in surprise.

"Either sooner or later, it will take time for you to find the supply. Besides, if I hadn't arrived earlier, I guess all the supplies in your hands would have been robbed."

"Okay, I will definitely help you get it done before the 15th of next month."

Xu Dong agreed immediately.

Over the years, he has successively sold more than one hundred tons of sugar, most of which was traded through Mr. Mike. They needed a lot of sugar and kept it confidential.

But even so, there are still more than 450 tons of sugar in the basement, and only half of the original inventory clearance plan has been completed.

Plans don't change quickly.

The price of sugar has dropped a lot in the past two years, and he deliberately reduced the shipping speed.
