At dinner, Xu's mother ate a bowl of rice more than usual, and said that people are in good spirits when they are happy, and their appetite is naturally open when they are in good spirits.

During this period, Xu's father also announced the decision to resume the operation of the convenience store, although Xu Dong repeatedly objected, but it was useless.

Early the next morning, Xu Dong was pulled again without surprise, this time as a cashier.

Dad Xu is not young, and it used to be okay to scan the code to collect money, but now he uses cash, which is difficult for the elderly.

It just so happened that the previous tally clerk left a year ago, so Xu's father simply took up the job of a tally clerk and shopping guide.

Soon after the convenience store opened, customers began to visit the store.

"Boss Xu, do you have rice here?"

Dad Xu nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, hybrid rice, Northeast rice and silk miao rice, there are each of them." ”

"Why has the price gone up so much?"

"You're still too expensive, my family has only risen by 5 cents, and people's big supermarkets have generally risen by one piece."

Dad Xu is not stupid, he went outside to inquire about the market price before opening the door.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of transport vehicles in the market, and it is difficult for outside materials to come in for a while, which has caused prices to rise wildly throughout the capital.

This is still the result of strict control by the state, otherwise it will rise even more fiercely.

The guest finally bought a bag of 50 catties of Northeast rice, and asked before leaving:

"When will the fresh food arrive?"

Dad Xu smiled bitterly: "The wholesale market is almost occupied by vegetable vendors, and there is no channel at all on my side, so you should go to the vegetable market to have a look!" ”

Originally, he still had a batch of vegetables and fruits at home, but the whole family did not agree to sell them, and no one dared to pack tickets for when the market would return to normal.

"I just came out of there, and I didn't have any stock, and even the rice was sold cleanly."

Dad Xu suddenly had an idea and stopped the customer who was about to leave:

"Wait a minute!"

"Huh?"

"That's right, I still have some air-dried chicken and bacon at home, I don't know if you're interested?" Dad Xu took the opportunity to sell.

Since the business was closed, Xu Ma has long been worried about the meat in the yard.

Of course the guest is interested, "Oh, what price?" ”

"Well, let me explain first, you are also a regular customer of mine, you should know that I have sold local chickens before."

The customer nodded to indicate that she knew, she had even bought it a few times, and the quality was indeed okay.

Dad Xu pursed his lips and continued to introduce: "This air-dried chicken and bacon are the same, they are both authentic local goods, and I can pack a ticket." ”

The customer waved his hand: "Boss Xu, you better just say the price!" ”

"Okay, this air-dried chicken... It's 300 yuan, and 80 yuan a pound of salted meat. ”

Dad Xu almost doubled the price directly, anyway, there is no market for it at the moment, and besides, this is a flavored local product, and even the price bureau can't control it.

The customer was still hesitating, but Xu Dong was in a hurry, he quietly pulled Xu's father aside and persuaded in a low voice:

"Dad, you're selling it too cheaply, at least double it, listen to me!"

Dad Xu, he can't be persuaded directly, so Xu Dong plans to save the country and raise the price first, so that even if he sells it, he won't be able to sell much.

Dad Xu was still a little hesitant, but the guest seemed to hear something, and immediately placed a big order, directly asked for 3 air-dried chickens and 10 catties of pork, and paid the full amount in advance.

"Boss Xu, this is the money to buy meat, you write me a receipt, and I'll come over in the afternoon to get the goods."

Dad Xu took the 1,700 yuan, and threw it directly to Xu Dong without even counting it, as if the money was hot.

Seeing off the guests, Dad Xu couldn't help but be annoyed:

"Look at my brain, this order has lost a small 2,000 yuan, and our store can't make 1,700 yuan a day."

Xu Dong immediately comforted: "Dad, don't be angry, next time I will sell it at the price I said, 600 yuan for a dried chicken, 160 yuan for a pound of salted meat." ”

"I know, I'll write a sign and hang it at the door later."

……

The next day, six days after the end of the solar flare, the nations of the world unanimously decided to designate February 29 as a global day of mourning to mourn all the victims of the super flare.

These include:

nine astronauts who died in outer space;

All passengers and crew killed in the civil aviation crash.

As of the data collected on the 28th, a total of 18,647 civil airliners lost contact after the flare erupted, of which less than 1% successfully made a forced landing.

All the victims of the crash add up to about 1875927;

Due to incomplete data, it can only be estimated that about 58,000 people have been killed in various accidents.

A total of 958 rescuers died in the disaster relief.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of the 29th, the mourning activities in Daxia officially began, because this was a critical moment in the reconstruction work, so everything was simple, and there were no unified requirements in various places.

In the capital, Yanjing, all residents spontaneously gathered on both sides of the road to prepare for a three-minute silence for all the victims.

Xu Dong's family is the same, the family is standing in front of the gate of the courtyard, Yang Lina, Xu Dong and Xu Ma are holding triplets respectively, and the Coco sisters are standing at the front.

When the time came, Yanjing's air defense siren sounded for the third time this year, and everyone began to bow their heads in silence.

Three minutes later, the memorial service ended.

Dad Xu suddenly sighed: "I'm afraid no one will dare to take a plane in the future!" ”

"Well, if there's a plane! The aviation industry has suffered heavy losses after falling so many planes, and it may not be able to recover for decades. Xu Dong analyzed.

At present, I am afraid that only he knows how bleak the future of the aviation industry is, and he is an optimistic person to describe it as a slump.

"What a plane! In the future, our family will travel by high-speed rail, and no one is allowed to take a plane. Mother Xu said with palpitations.

Before coming to Yanjing, the youngest son also proposed to take a plane, who knows when the flare will erupt.

Coco hasn't been on a plane yet, so she said coquettishly: "Milk, Lele and I haven't been on a plane yet?" ”

"Grandma hasn't done it either, so we're not allowed to sit." Mother Xu insisted.

Coco pursed her lips and sulked alone.

Xu Dong took the little padded jacket, bowed his head and promised: "When the amusement park calls, Dad will take you and Lele to ride the roller coaster together, and it feels exactly the same as taking a real plane." ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, when did Dad lie to you, last time he said he would take you to skiing, and in the end he didn't go too."

"Dad, I like you so much!"

"Daddy loves you too!"

"Okay, Coco, Lele, hurry up and play, Dad is going to the store with Grandpa." Dad Xu urged.

Xu Dong wanted to be lazy very much, so he pleaded: "Dad, can't you rest for half a day?" ”

Without waiting for Xu's father to answer, Xu's mother's angry voice came:

"What a break, hurry up to the store, take advantage of the high price of meat, sell all the meat in the yard early, this time I really made a fortune."

Xu Dong almost wanted to cry without tears, this is a proper lose-lose!
