My courtyard shelter

After everyone arrived, the card game began quickly.

Wang Xiujuan looked around at the children and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Old Zhang, where is your Ma Xu? It's winter vacation, why haven't you come over yet?"

"Well, he's in the third year of junior high this year, and his mother has signed him up for a tutoring class for the winter vacation. He won't be able to come until the 29th of the new year."

"Then you really need to hurry up."

Wang Xiujuan couldn't help but nodded.

In recent years, due to the saturation of job positions and the "going global" strategy, many students who graduated from technical schools have been assigned to work abroad.

The official slogan is:

There’s a lot to be done in the vast world.

If you want to stay in China, it is best to study hard and get into university. The university assignments are basically in China.

Moreover, even if college students go abroad, they are still in technical positions, and the salary is more than one or two points better.

After a while, Xu Ma took the initiative to test:

"Old Wang, I heard that Zhang Kai is going to be promoted?"

Wang Xiujuan smiled broadly: "I should be able to become a full-time official this time. District Chief Liu of their district is about to retire this year."

"congratulations!"

The three poker players immediately sent congratulations.

Xu's mother took the opportunity and joked: "No wonder Zheng Yan has to rush back to her parents' house. It turns out she is going back to announce the good news. Lao Wang, your Zhang Kai has managed to survive this time."

"Oh, it's all a matter of risking his life. He is only five or six years older than Dongzi, and his hair is almost half gray."

Wang Xiujuan said distressedly.

"Aunt Wang, if Brother Zhang is in charge this time, his future will be stable. Maybe he can even become governor!"

Yang Lina was both envious and regretful.

Needless to say, I am envious.

It's a pity that Xiao Zhangxue and their family are destined to have no fate. China is not as good as abroad. No matter what aspect you analyze, the two families are not suitable for marriage again.

Wang Xiujuan smiled and waved her hand: "I don't dare think about it as governor, but I will be very satisfied if I can retire as deputy governor."

Wang Xiujuan is not entirely modest. Zhang Kai is now forty-eight. When he finishes serving as district mayor, he will be almost sixty years old. At most, he will serve as deputy governor for two more terms.

Unless you encounter an exceptional promotion!

"It will definitely work, Lao Wang, don't worry!"

Xu Ma quickly agreed.

The card game was in full swing on the adults' side, but there was a little dispute on the children's side.

The cause is simple.

Dabao is a show-off personality, so he specially showed his VR helmet to his friends. As expected, everyone was curious and everyone wanted to see it.

Dabao is in trouble!

Fortunately, Xiaobao secretly wrote down the power-on password and helped his elder brother out of trouble.

Although I can't play the game, it's okay to experience the login interface, which is still shocking.

Originally, everyone lined up well and everyone had five minutes to experience it.

But when it was Niuniu's turn, Xiao Li Tao refused to give in no matter how much he tried to persuade her.

After all, they had a son from old age, and Director Li and his wife had always doted on their only son, basically giving him whatever he wanted.

Of course Director Li knew it was not good to do this, but when he thought about his age, he would probably not be able to accompany his son when he grew up, and he was usually busy with work, so he wanted to compensate the other party as much as possible while he still had the opportunity.

Seriously speaking, little Li Tao is a bit stubborn, but in other aspects he is fine, just like an ordinary child.

When Dabao saw that Niuniu was being bullied, he couldn't bear it anymore. He reached out and took off Xiao Li Tao's helmet.

Little Li Tao was not someone to be trifled with, so he started fighting with Dabao on the spot.

Dabao was tall and strong. Little Li Tao was no match for him and was quickly suppressed by Dabao.

Xiaoxue clapped her hands excitedly: "Brother Dabao is so awesome!"

Niu Niu’s eyes were filled with emotion.

Dabao suddenly became more majestic.

Little Li Tao kicked the iron plate and immediately burst into tears. Xiao Bao quickly stepped forward and pulled off his elder brother's clothes. If he didn't get up, he would be beaten.

Dabao reacted a step too late and was caught by his mother, and his left ear fell directly into the "devil's claws".

Dabao couldn't help but retorted: "Mom, Li Tao did it first."

"How old are you and how old is Li Tao? How can you, an older brother, bully your younger brother?"

Yang Lina scolded.

"I didn't!" Dabao was unconvinced.

"You still say no? It's all the pressure on others, but you still say no?"

Dabao is irrefutable!

Niu Niu quickly stood up and told the cause and effect of the incident. At the same time, she begged Aunt Yang, hoping to enlarge Bao Yima.

Other children also begged for mercy.

Yang Lina was unmoved and grabbed Dabao's ears and came to Xiao Li Tao: "Hurry up and apologize to your brother."

"sorry!"

The situation is stronger than the person, so Dabao has no choice but to admit his mistake.

Aunt Li quickly spoke to smooth things over: "Nana, okay, it's normal for children to fight. It's not a big deal. Please let Dabao go!"

Xu’s mother came over, symbolically patted her eldest grandson twice, and couldn’t stop nagging:

"Do you dare to do it next time?"

"I don't dare anymore."

Dabao cooperated obediently.

But it won't be that easy.

As soon as she finished reprimanding him, Yang Lina carried her eldest son to the gate and planned to make him stand for an hour.

Dabao was angry and ashamed, but there was nothing he could do.

There were so many people coming and going at the gate, especially in front of his friends, which made him feel like he had lost a lot of face.

Xiaobao secretly stuffed a handheld game console into his eldest brother and let him kill time. Dabao felt better and finally had a smile on his face.

During the punishment process, Niu Niu stayed with me.

…

In the blink of an eye, two days later, the New Year's Eve has arrived.

Xu Dong was working in the office, and Mr. Mike moved quickly. All the salted fish had been put into storage, and they were waiting for him to pick up the goods.

However, there is no rush.

He planned to pick up the goods the day before the new year. It was not good to go early, and it was unnecessary. He didn't know Mr. Fei well, so it was better to keep a low profile.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Xu Dong said smoothly.

Unexpectedly, it was Lao Fang who pushed the door open.

"Old Xu, it's me."

"Why are you here? Don't you have to go to work today?"

"Take the morning off!"

"Why do you come to the company?"

Lao Fang scratched his forehead: "Hey, I want to ask you for some help."

Xu Dong took out his cigarettes, smoked one himself, and gave one to the other party.

"Tell me, how can I help you?"

"A little favor."

Lao Fang took the cigarette, but did not smoke it, but clamped it to his ear. In fact, he had quit smoking long ago.

"Did you two have a quarrel?"

Lao Fang shook his head: "No, no, Cai Xian and I have a good relationship. We don't even quarrel, let alone quarrel."

"What on earth is that?"

"Isn't this... Caixian's sister graduated last year and hasn't found a suitable job yet. Can you help me say hello?"

Han Huixian is 18 years old. She just graduated from a technical school in June last year and was assigned to Johor directly after graduation.

As a result, the little girl couldn't bear the hardship and ran back after working for less than half a year. She lost a lot of weight.

"She wants to join a bakery?"

"That's right, but she wants to go to the branch factory in Hancheng."

In the past few years, Han Huixian was ostracized in Daxia because of her status as a foreigner. Therefore, she wanted to return to her mother country for development, and finally found Lao Fang.

Although Lao Fang was the captain of the bakery, he was just messing around and had no power. He had no choice but to shamelessly approach Xu Dong.

"Going to Hancheng? Is she sure?"

The salary level in Hancheng was almost half of that in Yanjing. Xu Dong wondered if the other party was out of his mind.

"Her sister and I disagree, but she is making noises to go back, and we can't stop her even if we want to."

Lao Fang showed a bitter look on his face.

"Okay, I'll make a call for you later."

Xu Dong said simply.

Lao Fang quickly thanked him: "Thank you, thank you!"

"Okay, why are you being polite to me?" Xu Dong waved his hand, "By the way, Lao Gao is going to treat us in two days. Go back and help me inform Lao Feng and Lao Chen."

After Sister Feng and Uncle Chen retired, they simply canceled their mobile phone numbers because they could not reimburse their phone bills, and it was difficult to contact them for a while.

"Gao Yuemei?"

"Well, that's her."

"Her birthday?"

Lao Fang asked curiously.

Because Gao Yuemei had to raise a grandson and her salary was not high, she was usually very frugal, but this time she actually took the initiative to treat her. It was like the sun was shining in the west.

"No, Lao Gao just received a huge compensation, and she resigned from me yesterday."

Xu Dong explained.

"Compensation? Where does it come from?"

“Their family originally invested in an immigration project in the beautiful country, but unfortunately they encountered a major riot and the project was shut down. In the end, they lost all their money.

Fortunately, the land is still there. This time someone took a fancy to the land and bought it at a large price. Lao Gao also received 1.8 million. "

In the past two years, the beautiful country has been working hard to revitalize the west coast. The media gave it a very vivid title, called the Second Westward Expansion Movement.

It is said that the scale of investment is very large.

"People in the beautiful country are very trustworthy, right? It's been so long, but I can still find Lao Gao."

"There's really nothing to say."

Xu Dong was also convinced that they had done a good job.

Lao Fang suddenly patted his head: "I remember that Lao Gao also had a relative named Zhang...what..."

"Zhang Ming." Xu Dong reminded.

"Yes, how is Zhang Ming doing now?"

Xu Dong shook his head: "I guess he's gone a long time ago. It's been seven or eight years. I only sent two letters back, and then there was no news."

"What a pity!"

"The Philippines was in such chaos back then, it's a miracle that it survived." Xu Dong sighed.

Even though the country is now prospering in the Philippines, it also paid a lot of price in the early years.

"makes sense."

Lao Fang sighed.

Xu Dong took out a few pieces of chocolate from the drawer and handed them to Lao Fang: "Take them back and give them to Qinqin to try."

Qinqin is Lao Fang’s daughter.

The little girl is seven years old.

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

"Take it, it's not for you. Take Qinqin to our house to play when you have time."

"Then I'm not welcome. Qinqin likes sweets the most. It's all my fault that I, as a father, am incompetent."

Xu Dong waved his hand: "Don't be discouraged. I think you are a good father. Okay, go back as soon as possible!"
