My courtyard shelter

Since he had learned about the market situation, Xu Dong no longer hesitated and immediately called Mr. Li back to finalize the transaction. Read М

450 kg of sugar in exchange for 120 kg of margarine. After some bargaining, it was finally 50 kg cheaper.

The two parties agreed to trade the next day.

Coming out of Panjiayuan, the whole road was full of wind and sand, and the sand scraped on the windshield, making crackling sounds.

In June, sandstorms began to become more frequent, and basically every other day there was wind and sand weather.

Arriving at the train station, Xu Dong quickly picked up Ma Lingling and her brother, who had not been here for more than a month.

In the early stage, it was mainly because the elder sister caught a cold and the brother and sister could not leave.

Then Xu Dong went on a business trip again, and Xu's father could not take care of him alone, and was finally persuaded by Xu Ting to stop.

Last week, Ma Jie was not feeling well, so Xu Ting took the siblings to Tianjin, and it has been delayed until now.

"Uncle, you are finally back." Ma Xu called out as soon as he got in the car.

"What? Did you miss me?" Xu Dong joked.

Ma Xu nodded and said, "Yes."

"You miss the delicious food your grandma made, right?" Xu Dong touched his nephew's scalp.

"That too!" Ma Xu smiled.

Xu Dong asked his niece, "Lingling, is your dad in good health? What did the doctor say?"

"He said he had a severe cold, and he is almost recovered now." Ma Lingling replied.

"Severe cold?"

Xu Dong frowned unconsciously. His brother-in-law did not look very well. If not, he would talk to his sister and ask Ma Jie to find a lighter job.

"Well, the construction site urged him to work hard, and my dad had no choice but to work while sick, so he delayed so much."

"Alas, it is not easy for your dad to make money." Xu Dong sighed.

"My mom said the same thing."

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Jinchang'an Building. The Coco sisters came here early in the morning, so they could just pick them up and go back together.

After parking the car, Xu Dong led Ma Lingling and her brother to the 13th floor of the building, where Xu's father's office was.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

He knocked on the door, and without waiting for a response from inside, Xu Dong pushed the door open and walked in.

Xu's father looked up and said, "Old Three, why are you here?"

Xu Dong stepped forward and touched the golden horse, revealing Ma Lingling and her brother behind him: "Lingling and Xiaoxu are here, I brought them over to see you."

"Grandpa, we're here to see you." Ma Lingling smiled.

Lele suddenly ran over and interrupted:

"Sister Lingling, Xiaoxu, you are finally here. I thought you would never come again!"

Xu Dong gently tapped his little daughter's head and reminded her: "You forgot again. Xiaoxu is older than you. You should call him brother."

"Oh, I know. It's Xiaoxu's cousin!"

"Lele, you seem to have gained weight, and your face is rounder than before." Ma Xu looked at his little cousin and suddenly spoke.

Lele pursed her lips, and her little face looked rounder: "I didn't gain weight, you did."

"Okay, Lele, if you gain weight, you gain weight. Dad likes fatter children. Fatter children are healthier and have meat on their faces."

After comforting several children, Xu Dong looked at Xu's father and asked: "Dad, when do you get off work?"

"It's just past ten o'clock now. I get off work at eleven thirty." Xu's father glanced at his watch and said.

"Then I'll take Keke and the others home first, so they won't disturb you at work."

Dad Xu nodded: "Okay, take them home, let Lingling help them with their homework. They asked me more than a dozen questions this morning, but I don't know what they are."

Back home, Lele couldn't wait to take her cousins ​​to see her big baby.

The display stand for the Phoenix Conch has been made and is now placed on the desk.

"Wow, what a big conch!" Ma Xu said with envy.

"Yeah, it's really beautiful." Ma Lingling gently stroked the big conch.

Lele said proudly: "This is a gift my dad brought back for me from his business trip, and there is also a small conch. I'll show you."

Compared to the Phoenix Conch, the Prince Conch is more suitable for playing with in your hands. Ma Xu couldn't bear to put it down once he got it, and looked at his cousin Lele eagerly.

Lele was very generous and simply gave it to Ma Xu, mainly because she was tired of playing with it. Compared with the small conch, she liked the big conch more.

"Thank you, Lele." Ma Xu was excited.

At lunch time, Xu's father came back with the food. Needless to say, today's food was particularly rich.

"Lingling, Xiaoxu, come and try the sea cucumber. This is what your uncle brought back from Qindao." Xu's father picked up a sea cucumber for each of his granddaughter and grandson.

Lele's mouth was full of sea cucumbers: "Sister Lingling, sea cucumbers are so good... Eat it, you should try it."

Ma Lingling took a small bite, fresh and spicy, the taste is really good, no wonder the two cousins ​​like it so much.

After lunch, Xu Dong cut a watermelon as a fruit after the meal. Ma Xu ate the watermelon and wished he could live at his uncle's house every day.

...

The next morning, with Ma Lingling helping to look after the house, the sisters Keke didn't have to go to work with their grandfather. The two slept until more than nine o'clock, and even had a snack for breakfast.

As for Xu Dong, he was not so leisurely.

After all, they had an appointment to do a deal yesterday, so after breakfast, he drove a pickup truck to Mr. Li's company.

Mr. Li personally went to the door to greet him: "Boss Xu, I've been waiting for you all morning."

"Sorry, I'm half an hour late. There was a bit of traffic on the road." Xu Dong apologized.

"It's okay. Who would have thought that today's sandstorm would be bigger than yesterday's."

After chatting, Mr. Li took Xu Dong to the company warehouse.

Mr. Li's company is located near the South Fifth Ring Road, which is relatively close to the suburbs. He has a large warehouse of more than 1,000 square meters here.

The warehouse is full of various packaged goods.

"Mr. Li, your business is not small?" Xu Dong flattered.

Mr. Li said proudly: "Haha, I just make a living, not as good as you, Mr. Xu and my brother-in-law."

"What's in this box?" Xu Dong asked, pointing to a cardboard box.

"I'm currently mainly engaged in the clothing business. The boxes are all refurbished clothes. Some of them are kept in China, and most of the rest are exported to the bear country." Mr. Li introduced.

"Is the bear country in great need of clothes?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"There is a shortage of everything in foreign countries now, and prices are going crazy. Now is a good time to officially engage in foreign trade."

"Isn't it said that foreign trade business is not easy to do?"

"That was in the past. At that time, all countries had strict export controls, so foreign trade business was naturally not easy to do. But the situation is different now. Many countries are in civil strife, but you can find a lot of good things."

"So, the mainstream now is barter?"

Mr. Li nodded: "We have started bartering for a long time. Whether it is the US dollar or our country's currency, they are all not recognized. They only recognize hard currency and various materials."
