My courtyard shelter

May 18, 3:30 in the morning.

After 13 days of sailing, the group finally landed at Qingniwa Port. Seeing the gray snow piled up near the port, everyone's heart sank.

In the evening of the next day, Xu Dong finally returned to his courtyard. As soon as he put down his luggage, he accompanied Pan's mother to the cemetery to pay tribute to Pan Ying and Chen Lei.

Pan's mother touched the photo on her daughter's tombstone and burst into tears on the spot. Yang's mother and others couldn't persuade her, and finally she fainted from crying.

Everyone rushed to send Pan's mother to the hospital.

After returning from the hospital, Xu Dong sent messages to his old friends one by one, saying that he had returned to Yanjing and invited everyone to come over for the weekend.

Then, he first visited Aunt Wang's house.

In terms of closeness, Aunt Wang's family should be ranked first. Even though their family moved to Sydney, Aunt Xu would call each other every now and then.

The relationship between the two families has always been very good.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

"Xiao Xu, I guessed it was you who came."

Wang Xiujuan's face was full of smiles.

"Aunt Wang, are you in good health? My mother asked me to say hello to you on her behalf."

Xu Dong said politely.

Wang Xiujuan rubbed her temples: "I'm old and my body is not working well. My blood pressure is a little high recently. How are your mother and father in good health?"

"It's okay. There are no serious illnesses, but there are constant minor problems."

"Then you have to pay attention. Minor problems are particularly tormenting."

"Who said it wasn't? Aunt Wang, you have to take care of yourself too. My mother also wants to invite you to Sydney as a guest!" Xu Dong responded.

"I can't go. I can't leave my family."

Wang Xiuli sighed.

Xu Dong motioned Captain Zhou to put down the gift: "Auntie Wang, these are some local specialties that my mother prepared for you. You must accept them!"

"Okay, Auntie won't be polite to your mother."

Wang Xiuli did not refuse.

She knew that the other party was sensible in giving gifts and would never cause trouble for their family.

"Our two families are so familiar with each other, it would be awkward to be polite." Xu Dong agreed.

Wang Xiujuan pulled Xu Dong to sit down.

The nanny helped to make a cup of tea.

Xu Dong hurriedly asked: "Auntie Wang, why don't you see my sister-in-law? And where are Xiaoyong and Xiaoxue, why are they not at home?"

"I forgot to tell you." Wang Xiujuan patted her thigh, "Your brother Zhang was just transferred to Heizhou last month, and Zheng Yan took the two children to visit relatives."

"Brother Zhang has been promoted again?"

"It's just the deputy governor, which is barely a promotion!"

Wang Xiujuan said modestly.

"Auntie Wang, congratulations, in a few years, Brother Zhang will definitely be able to govern a place."

Xu Dong hurriedly sent his blessings.

Wang Xiujuan waved her hand: "Heizhou is too remote. I would rather he stay in the capital as his deputy district chief, and he can help take care of the family."

"No matter how remote it is, it is still a state!"

Xu Dong sighed.

To be able to reach the level of deputy governor is equivalent to half a foot into the core of Daxia's power.

Of course, the capitals of the vast inland areas, including Heizhou, are definitely less valuable.

Especially in many western regions, population migration has been completed long ago, and official institutions have almost become retirement homes, with only symbolic significance left.

Many young cadres would rather work hard overseas than go to nursing homes to chat and drink tea with people.

"Let's not talk about this. Xiao Xu, how many days will you stay this time?"

"About a week, but I will come again in July. Aunt Wang, the flood season is coming soon. Do you want to go back to Sydney with me to avoid it?"

"Forget it." Wang Xiuli said cautiously: "Your brother Zhang has just taken office. Doing this will have a bad impact. We can't help him too much. The only thing we can do is not to make trouble."

Xu Dong couldn't help but feel emotional.

No wonder Brother Zhang can go so steadily and so far. Family support is really important.

"Xiao Xu, Auntie wants to ask you a favor..."

Wang Xiujuan suddenly said.

"Aunt Wang, don't ask, just give the order directly." Xu Dong hurriedly said politely.

"I want to entrust Xiaoxue to you. Can your family help Auntie take care of her for a while?"

The reason why Wang Xiuli chose her granddaughter.

The main reason is that the granddaughter is young and a girl. She is not too sensitive and not easy to attract attention.

Xu Dong immediately understood the other party's concerns: "No problem, Dabao and the others will be so happy to see Xiaoxue."

"Xiao Xu, you have many children, don't bully our Xiaoxue!"

In order to ease the atmosphere, Wang Xiuli joked.

"Look at what you said, Nana likes Xiaoxue too much. As long as she is around, no one dares to make trouble." Xu Dong smiled.

"It's a pity that they don't have the fate of mother and daughter."

Wang Xiujuan hinted.

One of their families is now in politics and the other is in business, and both are outstanding, which means that the two families cannot get married.

"This is simple. Let Xiaoxue recognize Nana as her godmother. Is that okay?"

Xu Dong responded quickly.

Wang Xiujuan nodded happily: "This is a good idea. Xiaoxue is still a lucky child!"

"Haha, Nana will definitely be very happy to hear this news."

Xu Dong said casually.

Actually, Aunt Wang didn't need to remind them. Their family had long given up the idea of ​​marrying with the other party, unless he donated all the two companies, which was obviously impossible.

No matter how much Yang Lina liked Xiaoxue, she would not joke about her own property.

...

In a blink of an eye, it was Saturday.

Xu Dong set up a large table of food at home.

Except for Director Li and Zhao Jian, who clearly stated that they could not attend the appointment because of their busy work, everyone else agreed, including Aunt Liao and Song Lin, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Xiang Xin came the earliest and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Boss, I have completed the transfer procedures. When can you leave?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, the original plan is to board the ship next Wednesday. Xiao Xiang, what position did you transfer to? Did you lose the throne of section chief?"

"Hehe, you can see that I am so happy, you know that I must have lost it, but the new unit is just a power supply station, which can't be compared with the head office."

"The power supply station is not bad? It has all the benefits it should have." Xu Dong comforted.

"That's the only way to think about it."

"Where's Ren Li? Will he take over after you leave?"

Xu Dong asked.

Xiang Xin shook his head: "It's a pity for Ren Li. He was intercepted at the last minute."

"Didn't Lao Gu help?"

Xu Dong frowned.

"Why didn't he help? It's a pity that the arm can't twist the thigh. The new section chief was arranged by the Municipal Bureau and said that he must fully cooperate with the next work. Ren Li, you know, has the ability, but it's a little bit short after all."

Xiang Xin said it very tactfully.

Ren Li only has one arm left, so it must be inconvenient to do things, and there is nothing we can do about it.
