After returning home from work, Xu Dong smelled a smell of as soon as he entered the yard, and no matter how much the skylight was opened, it was useless, which was the price of raising chickens at home.

"Husband, you're back."

Yang Lina was throwing vegetable leaves into the chicken coop, and Huahua was sitting on the sidelines staring, as if she was thinking of something.

"Well, Uncle Zuo sent all the chickens?"

"I sent it at ten o'clock in the morning, and I wanted to keep him for lunch, but I didn't keep it." Yang Lina replied.

Xu Dong walked over and looked at the chicken coop, feeling more delicate than Mark's dog house, and then praised: "This chicken coop is well designed, where did Dad learn it?" ”

"Do you still need to ask, of course I learned from short videos." Yang Lina replied with a smile.

The whole family knows that Dad Xu likes to watch short videos when he has nothing to do, and he is about to fall into the devil.

"Dad's craft really didn't say, I knew that I should have opened a carpentry shop for him in the first place."

"Pull it down, the carpentry shop can make a few bucks, and our shop can make money now." Yang Lina said with a smile.

"How profitable?"

Xu Dong was a little surprised, he hadn't been to the store for two or three months, and he knew almost nothing about the situation over there.

Yang Lina glanced at the kitchen and whispered: "Last month, there was suddenly an extra transfer of 500,000 yuan on my mother's bank card, and this money must have been made by our father." ”

"How did you find out?" Xu Dong said curiously.

"This morning, my mom asked me to help set the alarm on my phone, and I accidentally flipped to the transfer text message. Husband, you say, did my parents deliberately hide it from us? ”

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Yang Lina's tone.

"Uh..." Xu Dong had a headache, so he could only comfort: "You think too much, my parents are usually the most partial to our family, how can they hide it from the two of us, I guess they want to surprise us!" ”

"You say, do your parents want to secretly subsidize the eldest brother and eldest sister?" Yang Lina is not stupid.

Xu Dong waved his hand indifferently, "Mom and Dad, they can subsidize if they want, anyway, the money is earned by our father, and they can spend it on whoever they want." ”

Yang Lina pinched Xu Dong's arm vigorously, and complained in her mouth: "Just be generous!" ”

"Okay, tomorrow our department is going to travel to Jinmen, you hurry up and help me prepare two sets of clothes." Xu Dong hurriedly changed the topic.

"How many days?" Yang Lina was really distracted.

"Come back on Sunday afternoon."

"It's so hot, what a good trip!" Yang Lina complained.

"The leader has spoken, if you don't go, you don't want me to be isolated by my colleagues, right?"

"Okay, I didn't say I wouldn't let you go."

……

Early on Saturday morning, Xu Dong drove Daben to the north gate of the company.

This time, he didn't bring many "luxurious" ingredients, just some vegetables grown in his own vegetable garden, which were tender and delicious.

After all, this is a team building activity organized by Section Chief Li, and he can't and doesn't want to steal the limelight from his boss.

What's more, the snack storm has only been over for a long time, and he doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

In addition to the ingredients, Xu Dong also brought two bottles of wine.

This is very in line with his rich personality, and there is still a lot of stock of wine on the market, which is not too conspicuous.

"Have you all arrived?" Section Chief Li stood at the gate of the north gate and shouted loudly.

"There are 12 people in total, all of them are here." Xiang Xin counted the number of people and said.

The security department originally had 13 employees, but Lao Zhang retired early some time ago, so now there are only 12 people left.

"Okay, then let's go, I'll drive in front and take the lead, and you all follow me." Section Chief Li commanded.

This tour, a total of 4 cars and 12 people, the journey officially began.

From Yanjing to Jinmen, it takes about two hours to drive, and by half past nine, everyone has already entered the range of Jinmen.

On the viaduct, Xiang Xin suddenly pointed to a construction site outside the window and exclaimed: "Look, why are there so many hanging towers here?" ”

Xu Dong had already discovered that if he guessed correctly, these factories under construction should be desalination plants.

Yanjing has a population of 20 million, Jinmen also has almost 15 million, and if you add the surrounding counties and cities, the entire metropolitan area has a population of more than 60 million.

With such a large population, the daily water consumption is staggering, and it is no wonder that the construction of a desalination plant began early on the Jinmen side.

"Is there another new area up there?" A male colleague said.

"I haven't heard of it, if a new area is established, it should be big news, and in this difficult situation, how can the country have the money to engage in development."

"This place is close to the sea, is it developing a scenic area?"

Xu Dong said directly: "Don't guess, these are not new areas, nor are they scenic spots, in my opinion, this should be a super factory under construction." ”

"Factory, how is it possible, there is no end in sight to this construction site, what a big factory is this? Xiao Xu, are you sure? Someone questioned.

Xu Dong pointed forward: "Do you see that row of big chimneys?" ”

"See, what's wrong?" Xiang Xin wondered.

"Only a factory would have such a dense chimney, do you understand?"

"No wonder, I don't know what kind of factory it is, and the scale is so large?" A male colleague curious.

Xu Dong once again incarnated as a little expert in popular science:

"If you look at the big pools by the sea, this is supposed to be a desalination plant, and those pools are used to filter debris from the seawater."

Everyone suddenly realized, and Xiang Xin gave a thumbs up: "Brother Xu, you know so much!" ”

Xu Dong said modestly: "Alas, these are not advanced knowledge, they are all in high school textbooks, but you have forgotten them." ”

"Xiao Xu may be right, you think about it, now that the drought is so serious, the country definitely needs to build a new desalination plant, but I didn't expect the scale to be so scary." A male colleague chimed in.

"It's scary, it shows that the current situation is not optimistic, this drought may not end next year, or even the year after next year..."Gao Yuemei worried.

These words suddenly made the atmosphere in the car solemn, and no one could imagine what would happen in the future if the drought continued.

Only Xu Dong knew it, but he couldn't and didn't want to say it, and it would be useless to say it.

Xiang Xin saw that everyone's faces were a little heavy, and hurriedly came out to interrupt:

"Brother Xu, how long will it take to arrive?"

Xu Dong glanced at the navigation map and replied, "It's almost time to get off the viaduct, and it will take about ten minutes." ”

"Sister Gao, did you bring a swimsuit?"

Gao Yuemei took a sip, "I'm this old, what kind of swimsuit do I wear, my whole body is full of fat, and my eyes are spicy when I think about it." ”

"Who rules that older people can't wear swimsuits, let's finally come to the beach, and if we don't go for a swim in the sea, it will be too much of a loss." Xiang Xin persuaded.

Gao Yuemei was unmoved, she didn't want to be the protagonist of gossip in the mouths of her male colleagues.
