My courtyard shelter
Chapter 694: People’s minds change
On May 5, Xu Dong boarded his super yacht and prepared to return to China as planned.
This return trip had two main purposes.
First, to inspect the production of the Noodle Coke Bag Factory and Xinke Seaweed, especially as the flood season was approaching, and it was unknown whether the two companies were ready;
Secondly, to go back and pick up my sister's family. Xu's father and mother finally persuaded the couple, and they had agreed to immigrate to Sydney. Now they only needed Ma Lingling.
At the same time, in the courtyard of Yanjing.
Since the snowstorm, Xu Ting and her husband, including her daughter's family, have temporarily moved in here.
First, it is closer to the city center, relatively safe, and the living conditions are more comfortable.
Second, it is also to look after the house for my younger brother.
As early as two months ago, the country was completely unblocked. In the face of survival, that little radiation is nothing.
What is more serious is that with the arrival of summer, the government has urgently launched a series of flood prevention projects, which also require the active cooperation of the people.
In the final analysis, no one can do it.
As soon as Xu Ting hung up the phone, she rushed into her daughter's bedroom impatiently: "Lingling, your grandma just called."
"Mom, keep your voice down, the little leopard just fell asleep."
"Come on, let's talk outside."
Xu Ting took her daughter to the living room.
Ma Jie and Yang Shuo were chopping wood in the yard. Due to the occasional power outages in the city, the coal they stockpiled last year had long been burned out. They had no choice but to go out and buy old furniture to use as firewood.
"Mom, you look so happy. What did grandma say to you?"
Xu Ting said happily: "Your uncle has already left Sydney. Mom has one last question for you. Do you want to go to Sydney with us?"
"When will your uncle arrive?"
Ma Lingling said in surprise.
"Your uncle came here by yacht. It's very fast. It will take at most ten days or half a month!"
"My uncle is really rich. He bought a yacht worth 500 million yuan as soon as he said he would." Ma Lingling said enviously.
Xu Ting waved her hand: "Don't change the subject. Are you going to Sydney or not?"
"Mom, I still have work to do?"
"There are jobs everywhere. Doesn't your bakery have a branch in Sydney? Let your uncle help you talk to him and let him continue to be your manager."
"The Sydney branch has nothing to do with us. Besides, one is the head office and the other is a branch. How can we compare? And I can't take all my subordinates with me, right?"
Ma Lingling said helplessly.
"Can you listen to my advice? Which is more important, work or family?"
"Mom, we are the capital, what danger can there be?"
Xu Ting curled her lips: "What's wrong with the capital? The capital won't flood? If you have nothing to do, go out for a walk. The boat tickets to the south have been snapped up a long time ago. Don't you think everyone else is stupid?"
"I'm definitely not stupid, but I'm definitely making a fuss. The authorities are not idiots. They have already made preparations for the flood season. There's really no need to make a fuss."
In comparison, Ma Lingling is more willing to believe the authorities. After all, they have been here for so many years. No matter what difficulties they encounter, the authorities have never failed.
"Lingling, Mom is telling you, don't be ungrateful for what you have. Others can't get a boat ticket no matter how hard they try. But you are so stupid that you refuse to leave when there is a yacht ready to pick you up."
"Mom, didn't we agree that you take the little leopard and my mother-in-law and leave first, and Yang Shuo and I will stay and wait and see. If there is any danger, we will leave immediately."
"Bullshit." Xu Ting couldn't help but question, "If that time comes, how will you leave? Besides, the little leopard is so young, are you really willing to leave?"
"Mom, don't worry, our family has stockpiled so many canned foods, can't we exchange them for two boat tickets? As for the little leopard, one of you is his grandmother and the other is his grandmother, you will definitely take better care of him than us."
Ma Lingling said carelessly.
"You really don't want to leave?"
"Mom, don't force me. My uncle is so good to our family. I can't leave at this time. I want to help my uncle keep an eye on the company."
Xu Ting sighed helplessly: "If my uncle knew you thought so, I wonder if he would be happy or disappointed?"
"Of course he is happy. My uncle told me a long time ago that he wanted me to take over Mr. Yu's job in the future. I won't let him down."
The daughter was too ambitious and Ken couldn't persuade her at all. Xu Ting could only call her son-in-law over:
"Yang Shuo, come here."
Yang Shuo immediately put down the axe and ran over.
Ma Lingling saw this and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her husband's forehead.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Yang Shuo asked.
"Your uncle is coming back. Please help me persuade Lingling to go to Sydney with us."
Xu Ting said directly.
Yang Shuo smiled bitterly: "Mom, you can't persuade her, what can I do?"
"She's not a tigress, what are you afraid of?"
"Mom, how am I a tigress? Ask Yang Shuo if I have ever hit him?"
Ma Lingling didn't interrupt.
Seeing that his wife and mother-in-law were about to quarrel again, Yang Shuo quickly said: "Mom, don't worry, I will persuade Lingling again later, maybe in two days, she will figure it out herself."
"Impossible, she is now determined to stay."
When Yang's mother heard the quarrel, she hurried out of the vegetable garden and helped persuade:
"Mother-in-law, calm down, the children have grown up and have their own ideas. We are all elders. If we can persuade them, we will persuade them, and if we can't persuade them, forget it.
But Lingling's words also make sense. After all, we are the capital, so there shouldn't be any big problems. If there is really danger, the higher-ups would have started evacuating people long ago, and they wouldn't wait until the last minute. "
"I'm just afraid of the worst, aren't I?"
"Mom, didn't I tell you that if there is really danger, we will evacuate immediately."
Xu Ting waved her hand: "Okay, I'll go cook. You made your own decision, just don't regret it."
"Mom, after you leave, Yang Shuo and I will move directly to the factory dormitory. There are many people in the factory, so there won't be any danger."
Ma Lingling comforted.
...
At around six in the evening, Lao Fang got off work and went home.
"Dad is back..."
Little Fang Yan shouted loudly.
The little girl is eight years old this year, and she likes to laugh very much. She looks like a porcelain doll.
Looking at his beloved daughter flying over, Lao Fang couldn't help but smile.
"Dad brought bread for Qinqin, do you want to eat it, Qinqin? "
Lao Fang asked with a smile.
He was almost seventy years old and could no longer hold his daughter, so he could only squat down to catch her.
"Yes, Qinqin likes bread the most."
Lao Fang stuffed the bread into his daughter's arms, and then asked her to go to the room to continue watching cartoons, while he turned and went into the kitchen.
Han Huixian was making dinner.
Thanks to Xu Dongnian's canned food gift at the beginning of the year, Lao Fang's family lived a decent life. Not only could they eat enough, but they could also eat canned meat occasionally.
Lao Fang looked at his beautiful wife who still had charm, and couldn't help hugging her from behind.
"What are you doing? Don't disturb me while I'm cooking."
Han Huixian couldn't free her hands, so she could only twist her body and try to break free.
Lao Fang was powerless and could only let go of his wife.
He turned to business.
"Wife, I have something to discuss with you."
"What is it? Can't we talk about it later?"
Lao Fang shook his head: "This matter is very important, I want to tell you now."
"Then why don't you tell me quickly? "
Han Huixian urged.
"Old Xu contacted me this afternoon."
"Which Old Xu?"
Han Huixian didn't react for a moment.
"Who else could it be? Of course it was Xu Dong. Did you forget so quickly?"
"What did he want to talk to you about?"
Han Huixian immediately stopped what she was doing.
This is the only big shot their family knows.
"He asked me if I wanted to immigrate to Kangaroo Country?"
Lao Fang replied.
"How did you answer?"
Han Huixian asked hurriedly.
Of course it's a good thing to be able to immigrate.
Everyone knows that there will be a big flood next. The prominent people in the city have left in advance. People like their family who have no money and no connections can only stay and hold on.
"I'm not stupid. I agreed on the spot."
Lao Fang said proudly.
"When do you leave? Have you bought the boat ticket?"
ps: Please recommend and vote for the monthly ticket!
