"Uncle Zuo, we can't say that, it's our luck to meet you." Yang Lina said with a smile.

"Uncle still wants to thank you."

Xu Dong asked again: "Uncle Zuo, how much grain do you have in the countryside now?" ”

"It's okay!"

Uncle nodded:

"This year's drought is too severe, and all the crops in the field have died, but fortunately, the wheat and corn cobs harvested last year have left hundreds of catties of food rations for every household.

In addition, you can still buy some food every month, no matter what, you can still survive this year, and it is difficult to say next year. ”

"Are there restrictions on grain purchases in rural areas now?"

"It's the same as in the city, but flour and rice are hard to come by, and most of the supply is potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Now that meat is expensive, everyone is willing to use sweet potatoes to feed chickens, not to mention saving time and effort, and making more money than farming. ”

Xu Dong felt that the reality was a little magical, when, in the year of the catastrophe, it actually became a new hope for farmers to make a fortune.

Yang Lina took over and asked, "Uncle Zuo, do you still have chickens at home?" ”

"There are a dozen more, all half-sized chickens."

"Can you sell us two more roosters?" Yang Lina pleaded.

Without a rooster, a hen can't hatch chicks, and chicken is also a good source of meat, especially a big rooster.

"No problem, I still want to change a few more cans of milk powder!" The uncle agreed.

"That's great." Yang Lina said happily, "Uncle Zuo, if not, tomorrow you send me six chickens, and I will change three more cans of milk powder for you, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, Uncle agreed."

Ten minutes later, the car finally arrived home.

"Uncle Zuo, it's cold outside, come in and sit down." Xu Dong dragged the uncle into the courtyard.

"Woooooooooo

"Mark, stop yelling." Xu Dong calmed the dog.

The uncle looked a little restrained, chatted with Mother Xu for a few words, and after getting the milk powder, he hurriedly threw down the two little hens, turned around and left.

Before leaving, the two sides agreed to come back tomorrow morning.

Mother Xu untied the rope tied to the chicken's feet, put the two chickens in a large cardboard box, and then put some leftovers into it.

"Old man, don't go to the store tomorrow, hurry up and help me build a chicken coop in the yard, try to make it bigger, there are six chickens in the back!"

Dad Xu was a little reluctant, "Isn't it okay to buy a chicken nest online?" ”

"Isn't it too late, the express delivery will take several days, the weather is so hot, this chicken can't be kept together, it's easy to get plague." Xu Ma explained.

Dad Xu had no choice but to nod and agree, but fortunately, there was no shortage of wood at home, and it could be done in almost a morning.

Early the next morning, Xu's father got up at half past five, brushed his teeth, washed his face, picked up tools and began to do carpentry work.

At half past ten, the uncle finally came again, and Yang Lina warmly entertained the other party.

"Nana, the six chickens are in the bag, I'm afraid that the chickens will suffocate to death on the way, so I have to open the bag every ten minutes to breathe."

Yang Lina poured a cup of tea for the uncle, then looked into the bag and asked, "How many males are there?" ”

"Four males and two females."

After the uncle finished drinking the tea, Xu Ma handed the three cans of milk powder prepared in advance to the other party.

"Big sister, thank you, I found someone to see the milk powder yesterday, it is indeed a good milk powder, and your family is a kind person." The uncle took the milk powder and said gratefully.

Mother Xu waved her hand, "Milk powder is for babies, you can't cheat, our family never does that kind of black thing." ”

The uncle didn't talk a few words and was about to leave, Yang Lina personally sent people to the gate, and finally took two bottles of mineral water to the other party.

……

Approaching the end of work, Xu Dong is packing his belongings, tomorrow is the weekend, and he can relax for two more days.

Recently, the weather has been getting hotter and hotter, and the maximum temperature is almost exceeding 50 degrees, and hundreds of people are dying every day in Yanjing because of the high temperature.

He didn't want to go out at all, and he didn't stay at home to blow the air conditioner comfortably.

It's just that the plan hasn't changed quickly.

Before getting off work, Section Chief Li gathered everyone in the security section together and held a small meeting.

"Section chief, is there another big leader coming to inspect?" Xiang Xin asked with a bitter face.

Every time I come to the big leader, the whole company has to carry out a big cleaning, not to mention the tiredness, I can't touch the fish at work, and I hate it the most.

Section Chief Li glared at Xiang Xin, and then said, "We haven't had a team building activity for a long time, tomorrow happens to be the weekend, do you want to go out and have fun together?" ”

"Section chief, it's so hot now, why don't you want it?" A male colleague whispered.

His words were unanimously approved by everyone present, and no one wanted to toss on a hot day.

"Cough..."Section Chief Li coughed to silence everyone, he actually had a way to have both worlds in his heart:

"Don't worry, this time we're going to the beach in Jinmen, just in time to take the opportunity to escape the heat."

"Wow, that's great, I've wanted to go swimming in the beach for a long time." Xiang Xin said happily.

Xu Dong shook his head secretly, he really didn't want to go, it was better to stay at home and accompany the children, but since it was a team building activity, it was not good for him to be absent alone.

"Section Chief, how long will it take to go this time?" Someone asked again, and it seemed that everyone's enthusiasm was high.

"The whole trip is two days and one night, leaving tomorrow morning and coming back in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. I've booked all the hotels, and none of you are allowed to be absent! Section Chief Li replied with a smile.

"Fools are absent!" Someone coaxed.

Gao Yuemei raised her hand and asked, "Section chief, can I bring my family?" ”

"No, the tourists at the bath are too hot, and the room is not easy to book. It was also difficult for me to grab three big rooms and bring my family members, where will they live then? ”

"Seems to be the same."

"Okay, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, everyone will bring their luggage and gather at the north gate of the company." Section Chief Li explained.

"Section chief, are we going by car?"

"Whatever, you can drive if you want, and if you don't want to, you can take a colleague's car. I think Xiao Xu's car is very big, if any of you don't want to drive, you can get into his car. ”

Section Chief Li said this, paused and looked at Xu Dong and asked, "Xiao Xu, how many people can you seat in your car?" ”

"Nine people can sit." Xu Dong said helplessly, he still wanted to be lazy.

The three female colleagues immediately shouted that they wanted to take a big run, and several older male colleagues also had the same idea, after all, Jinmen was still a little far away, and it was too tiring to drive by themselves.

"By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to mention, the bathhouse does not provide three meals, we need to cook our own meals.

The rice will be solved by me, everyone try to bring as many ingredients as possible, Lao Gao is a good cook, and let her be the chef when the time comes. Section Chief Li added.

"Okay, everyone must bring more delicious food." Gao Yuemei happily accepted.

"I wonder if I can get meat?"

"There should be seafood to sell by the sea, and it's good to buy and eat it now!"

"Why don't you get a barbecue?"
