Chapter Eighty-Six: A Group of Friends Asks for Help
When she returned home after completing the grain card, Yang Lina, who couldn't stand the heat, went to the vegetable garden to pick a watermelon, which weighed about a dozen catties.
Mother Xu was pleasantly surprised: "Is the watermelon ripe?" ”
"Almost, let's take a look at it first."
Because of the triplets, the chilled watermelon is not very suitable, so Yang Lina simply took a knife and cut it directly.
"Click..."
Mother Xu came over to take a look and praised: "This melon grows well, and those who see it have an appetite." ”
Yang Lina first cut a slice for her mother-in-law, so that the other party could taste whether it was sweet or not.
"Sweet!" Mother Xu said with satisfaction.
"Mama... I'm going to have seven too. Dabao looked at the watermelon with a blank eye, and his saliva was about to run down.
Yang Lina cut a small slice for each of the triplets, and finally cut a large piece for herself.
"Mama, even seven." It may be the first time to eat watermelon, and Dabao immediately fell in love with the taste.
"Dabao, I'll eat it in the afternoon." Yang Lina reassured.
The child had no right to speak, and Dabao could only watch as the watermelon was wrapped in plastic wrap and finally put in the refrigerator.
Next, Yang Lina went to the vegetable garden and picked up two watermelons of about ten catties, planning to send them to Luyang, after all, as an elder, you can't break your promise in front of the juniors.
After packing, Xu's mother came over with three air-dried chickens and a bag of dried seafood: "Send these together!" ”
Although Yang Lina felt a little uncomfortable, she still took it, as a mother of five children, she could understand her mother-in-law's approach.
Coming to the post office, Yang Lina chose the most expensive domestic express mail, although the price is high, but it is not easy to lose items, with the current environment, it is much more reliable than private express companies.
After sending the package, Yang Lina called Ma Lingling, and then sent the courier number over and asked the other party to sign for it in time.
When I got home, Xu's mother had already made lunch.
At the same time, Xu Dong was also having lunch here, and as time went by, the food standards in the canteen were also decreasing.
Today, the meat dishes have long been cut off, and even the vegetarian dishes have begun to be restricted, but fortunately, there is only one meal at noon, and Xu Dong can bear it for the time being.
While eating, he was swiping his mobile phone, and suddenly someone sent him a private message in the WeChat message group of the rotation training class.
Xu Dong clicked on it and saw that the person who sent the message was Zhao Jian, who used to live in the same dormitory, and the other party was an employee of Xia Liang Group, Xu Dong's impression of this person was not bad.
Zhao Jian's message was very simple, ask Xu Dong if he had time, and call back if he had.
Xu Dong made a voice call directly.
"Hey, Lao Xu, is that you?" Zhao Jian's voice came.
"It's me, are you looking for me in a hurry?" Xu Dong went straight to the point.
"I'm really looking for something with you..."
The other party seemed to be a little embarrassed, and spoke squeaky, but Xu Dong was much more direct.
"What's the matter, hurry up and say, what is the relationship between the two of us, don't be mother-in-law."
Although a few months have passed, Xu Dong, as the leader of the group, often "shows up" in the group, and the relationship with the group friends has risen instead of falling.
"Ahem!" Zhao Jian cleared his throat and said, "Lao Xu, then I'll be straightforward, I have a chance to be promoted..."
"That's a good thing!" Xu Dong interrupted.
Zhao Jian smiled bitterly:
"I also know it's a good thing, but this opportunity is not safe, I want to run a relationship, but I can't get anything good, so I can only come to you with a cheeky face to ask."
Xu Dong thought about it for a while before he said cautiously:
"I can get some cigarettes and alcohol, and the rest can only be seen by the situation."
Zhao Jian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly pleaded: "I have enough wine here, can you help me get more cigarettes, I am willing to pay a high price." ”
"As much as you want, I'll try it here."
"Can you get Gojo? As long as it's not too bad for smoke, it's fine. Zhao Jian immediately replied.
"Gojo should be fine, when do you want it?" Xu Dong asked.
Zhao Jian asked tentatively, "Is it okay tomorrow morning?" ”
"Okay, then you come to our company tomorrow morning to find me, and I'll give you cigarettes then." Xu Dong said simply.
"Lao Xu, you have helped me a lot, thank you so much."
"I've said it all, no thanks." Xu Dong said politely.
Zhao Jian said solemnly: "Okay, I have written down your favor, Lao Xu." ”
"Well, is there anything else? I'm having dinner here, so I'm fine. ”
"That won't bother you, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow!"
……
After getting off work, Xu Dong did not go to Panjiayuan, but went home directly.
Recently, there are no good things in Pan's homeland, not to mention meat, and even food is much less, and he plans to go and see it after a while.
Early the next morning, Xu Dong took five renaissance cigarettes from the warehouse and moved four boxes of yogurt, which were about to expire and needed to be disposed of as soon as possible.
Soon after coming to the company, Xu Dong soon received a call from Zhao Jian, and the two sides made an appointment to meet in the parking lot of the power company.
"Lao Zhao, this way."
Zhao Jian drove the car over, and Xu Dong found that the other party was also wearing a police uniform.
The two sides talked about the old days, and then Xu Dong moved five cigarettes and four boxes of milk to each other's cars.
Zhao Jian looked at the four boxes of yogurt and said in surprise: "Old Xu, who are you?" ”
"I just happened to come across four boxes of yogurt, so I just got it for you, don't worry, there is still a month or two before the expiration date!" Xu Dong explained.
"What's so embarrassing?" Zhao Jian's face was moved, "Lao Xu, you better take the yogurt back, I remember that you have a lot of children and need this." ”
Xu Dong waved his hand and shirked: "Yogurt is not nutritious, it doesn't matter if you drink it or not, you're welcome." ”
What are you kidding, these expired yogurts, Xu Ma and Yang Lina are strictly forbidden for children to drink, if they can't handle it, they will only be cheaper in the end.
"What are you going to tell me about!"
"Okay, transfer money to me, I have to go back to work!" Xu Dong deliberately forked the way.
In the end, Zhao Jian transferred a total of 21,500 yuan to Xu Dong, 3,500 yuan per Fuxing cigarette, and Xu Dong gave a preferential price of 1,000 yuan per box because the yogurt was about to expire.
"Lao Xu, go back and invite you to dinner, don't refuse."
got the cigarette and had an unexpected joy, Zhao Jian's whole person looked much more relaxed.
"No problem, just drink your promotion wine." Xu Dong said with a smile.
"Not necessarily!" Zhao Jian said modestly, in fact, even if he didn't give gifts, he was sixty percent sure.
"Be modest, don't you Lao Zhao I don't understand, the most stable person in our dormitory, if you are not sure, will you be so concerned, this time it will definitely be fine." Xu Dong teased.
Zhao Jian could only arch his hand: "Then I will borrow your auspicious words." ”
Sending Zhao Jian away, Xu Dong went to the north gate along the way.
In the past two days, with the implementation of the food card system, the law and order problem has deteriorated a lot, and as the captain, he needs to lead by example.
Otherwise, if something happens, it will be difficult to explain.
