Chapter Seventy-Five: Mid-Autumn Festival/Teacher's Day
On September 7, Section Chief Li personally drove Xiao Wang's family to the company, and the big leader handed over a donation of 4.58 million yuan to the other party after a simple condolence.
Fortunately, Xiao Wang also has a teenage sister, which will not leave the old couple with nothing to rely on, and it also makes this huge amount of money meaningful.
After the donation ceremony, Xu Dong drove Xiao Wang's family back to the hotel, and found an opportunity to gently persuade them to settle in Yanjing.
After all, Xiao Wang's pension, coupled with the donation from the power company, can just buy a slightly better house in the capital.
It's a pity that neither Xiao Wang's parents nor his sister are willing to stay in the sad place of Yanjing, and at noon that day, the three of them took the high-speed train back to Yuzhou.
Xu Dong knew that they were not short of money now, so he specially rushed to give them a box of adult milk powder and a large bag of beef jerky before the three of them got into the car, mainly to replenish the health of the two old people.
There is nothing more sad than the loss of a son in old age, and the loss of an only son who has not yet married.
Optimistically, it will take at least two or three years for the old couple to recover.
Xu Dong returned to the company again, and as soon as he entered the office, he was surrounded by Gao Yuemei and others.
"Xiao Xu, you're back, Xiao Wang's family is really gone?" Gao Yuemei asked.
Xu Dong nodded: "Let's go, I'll personally send them to the high-speed rail station." ”
"Alas! Xiao Wang is a pity, I heard that the robber is younger than Xiao Wang, why do you say this, ruined two young people at once. Gao Yuemei said regretfully.
"This kind of person doesn't deserve sympathy, he is young, it's not good to do something, he has to come out to rob and harm others and himself." Colleague Lao Chen looked very angry.
Xiang Xin added in a whisper:
"I heard that the robber was also because he lost his job, and he usually couldn't afford to eat, so he finally had no choice but to come out to rob, and he died the first time."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately became silent, but this silence did not last long, and was soon broken by his colleague Lao Jin.
"How do I feel that the law and order seems to have deteriorated a lot lately. In my community, last month, more than a dozen bicycles were stolen, and there was a burglary, which was scary enough. ”
Xiang Xin echoed: "Yes, our community has also lost several bicycles, and some thieves even steal cars parked on the side of the road, and they are not ordinarily bold." ”
"If you want me to say, it's better for everyone to be careful when they go out in the future, and don't go to places with few people, especially at night, after eight o'clock, try to stay at home." Gao Yuemei's face was worried.
"Sister Gao is right, let's go out less if it's okay." Xu Dong agreed.
"That's right, there's no safety at home."
"Alas, I still want to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday to take my family to the western suburbs for a ride, it seems that I need to think about it again."
For a while, people in the office were panicked!
After two days, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.
This time, the power company finally "made a big difference" and gave out a little holiday welfare, including a box of moon cakes, a bottle of two-kilogram edible oil, and a bag of ten-kilogram rice.
Among them, edible oil is the most popular and the most expensive.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is a bit special, it happens to be the same day as Teacher's Day, and the next day is a Sunday, which adds up to just two days off.
Early in the morning of September 10, just after seven o'clock, Xu Dong was urged by his wife to get up, and at the same time woke up the twins.
As for why you get up so early?
Of course, there is a task in the body, to put it bluntly, it is to go to the home of the head teacher of Coco to give gifts, and there are few people in the early morning, so as not to be seen, and the impact is not good.
As for the address of the head teacher's house, Yang Lina had already inquired clearly in the class group, which was on the edge of the East Fourth Ring Road, not far from the courtyard, and it took more than ten minutes to drive.
As for the Teacher's Day gift, the couple had planned it last night, and simply brought all the employee benefits issued by the power company, plus a basket of home-grown fresh vegetables, which was definitely a heavy gift.
After breakfast, the father and daughter immediately set off, and according to the navigation, they soon arrived at the head teacher's house.
"Ding Dong ......" Xu Dong pressed the doorbell.
"Click!"
It was the head teacher himself who opened the door, and the twins arched their hands according to the pre-rehearsal and shouted loudly together:
"Teacher Ding, I wish you a happy Teacher's Day and a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
Teacher Ding welcomed the father and daughter into the house with a smile, and said as he walked: "You are the father of Coco and Lele, if I remember correctly, you brought the two of them to sign up last year." ”
"Teacher Ding, you really have a good memory."
"It's not that I have a good memory, it's that your daughters are so impressive, it's hard to remember."
Mr. Ding is in his forties this year, and he doesn't look old-fashioned at all, but very funny.
After getting to know each other's family members with Mr. Ding, the father and daughter found an excuse to leave before they had sat down for five minutes.
After all, it's a big holiday, and it will be almost the same if you stay for a few minutes, so there is no need to take up too much time on both sides.
Besides, just when the ceremony arrives, everything else is false, looking at Mr. Ding's face, you know that the other party is very satisfied.
Back at home, Xu Dong read the novel for a while, and at eleven o'clock, he accompanied his father to the store.
Although today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, many employees still choose to work overtime voluntarily.
After all, their wages are basically all based on commissions, and now everyone's life is very difficult, and they can get an extra salary if they work for one more day.
Dad Xu, as the boss of the company, of course, can't help but say, no, the father and son carried a large thermos bucket into the store.
"Uncle Ming, Brother Xu, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, who are you?" Ma Jun said with a puzzled expression.
Looking at everyone's curious eyes, Dad Xu took a breath and explained with a smile:
"Everyone has worked hard, today is not the Mid-Autumn Festival, I let the family boil a bucket of mung bean soup and bring it over to relieve the heat for everyone."
The mung bean soup was boiled by Xu Ma and Yang Lina early in the morning, with sugar and ice, and a bucket full of them was enough for everyone in the store to drink.
"Long live the boss."
"Thank you, Uncle Ming!"
……
In the evening, Lao Xu's family had a sumptuous Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, and then the whole family sat in the courtyard together and ate moon cakes while admiring the moon.
The mooncakes were learned by Yang Lina with the short video, although they don't look very good, but the taste is okay, and the whole family likes to eat them.
"Dad, the moon is so round tonight!" Coco said, pointing to the moon.
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon cakes are round, and of course the moon is also round." After Xu Dong finished speaking, he took a bite of the moon cake.
Lele stood up and swaggered: "Dad, I will recite the ancient poems of the moon, and I will recite them to you." ”
"Okay, Daddy, listen!"
"The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. ”
"Papapa......" everyone applauded together.
Hearing the applause, Lele's little head was raised high, but he was proud!
Coco also wanted to show in front of the family: "Dad, Dad, I will carry it too." ”
"Okay, Coco has a song, too." Xu Dong encouraged.
"I don't know the moon when I am young, and I call it a white jade plate.
and suspicious Yaotai mirror, flying in the blue clouds. ”
