Chapter 156: The Peninsula
In the blink of an eye, Friday is here again, and the news of the flu outbreak is finally on TV, and the official precautionary measures are to go out as little as possible, wear a mask and wash your hands frequently.
As for the disinfection measures, they have not been promoted on a large scale because of the shortage of materials.
After getting off work, Xu Dong drove to the station to pick up Ma Lingling's sister and brother, and said that he would come over this weekend.
In the car, Xu Dong explained with a smile: "Lingling, Xiaoxu, your grandmother can't go there for the time being, I'll take you to the new house, but they and grandpa live here." ”
"Uncle, my mother told us that the flu is very serious now, and cousins really need to pay attention to it." Ma Lingling expressed understanding.
"Well, do you have a lot of colds in your school?"
"Of course, I also had a cold a few days ago, but I took medicine for two days and I didn't even ask for sick leave." Ma Lingling replied.
Xu Dong cared: "There's nothing uncomfortable about your body, right?" ”
"Fortunately, it's the same as the common cold, but it's easy to sweat when you sleep at night."
"Xiao Xu, what about you, haven't you been infected?"
Ma Xu said proudly: "I wear a mask every day, and I'm okay at all." ”
Xu Dong smiled and didn't speak.
With the crowded environment of the school, it is useless to wear any mask, and the eldest nephew is estimated to have had it before, and his body already has immunity.
Back in the courtyard community, parked the car, Xu Dong took the sister and brother directly into the door.
"Coco, Lele, who do you see coming?"
"Cousin, Xiao Xu, you're here." Lele was pleasantly surprised.
Xu Dong corrected with a straight face: "Xiao Xu is older than the two of you, you two should be called 'cousin', how can you call it a nickname directly!" ”
"Xiao Xu watch... Brother..."
At Xu Dong's request, the twins reluctantly screamed.
Ma Xu looked excited.
"Lingling, you help me watch them, and my brother-in-law will go back and bring you dinner." Before going out, Xu Dong commanded.
"Don't worry, uncle." Ma Lingling agreed.
"By the way, cook the rice at half past six, there is rice in the kitchen, two bowls of rice are enough."
"Got it."
Xu Dong nodded and went out again.
When she came to the courtyard, Xu's mother had already prepared the meal, and knew that Ma Lingling's sister and brother were coming, so she specially prepared two hot pots for dinner.
One is seafood hot pot, the other is air-dried chicken hot pot, and a big bag of side dishes.
Back at the end of the new house again, Ma Lingling had already cooked the rice, then burned the hot pot again, and finally waited for Dad Xu to come back and start the meal.
Within ten minutes, Xu's father returned, and the family sat around the restaurant for dinner.
"Lingling, Xiao Xu, this is tuna meat, you two taste more." Xu's father sandwiched a chopsticks and fish meat for each of the sisters and brothers.
Ma Lingling picked up a piece of fish meat and blew it, then put it in her mouth, "Hey, it's delicious, tuna turns out to taste like this." ”
"Cousin, Dad bought a tuna that was so big, and the head was so big."
Lele spread his hands and drew a big circle.
"It has to be a few hundred pounds, right?" Ma Lingling was surprised.
Coco hurriedly replied: "I know, I know, it's four hundred and eighty pounds, Dad told me personally." ”
Knowing that there was no shortage of fish and meat in her uncle's house, Ma Lingling completely let go, and she dried two large plates of fish fillets by herself, almost eating it, and she didn't touch the fruit after the meal.
After the meal, Ma Lingling rushed to wash the dishes, and then everyone sat on the sofa, chatting about family life and watching TV.
Recently, there has been a big news in the world, that is, it is the developed country of the Southern Korea, which actually broke out into a civil war, which caused many people in China to shatter their glasses.
However, if you think about it carefully, the land area of the Southern Dynasties is not large, but there are 50 million people, and the pressure is indeed not small.
In addition, the Southern Dynasty was an extremely energy-poor country, with almost no fossil energy reserves within its borders, and coal, oil and natural gas were highly dependent on imports.
And the current international environment makes it very uncomfortable for countries like the Southern Dynasties, and in many cases, money may not be able to buy energy.
Dad Xu sighed with emotion: "This Southern Dynasty is in chaos, and the peninsula is really going to be reunified." ”
"Impossible." Xu Dong shook his head and said, "The Northern Dynasty is almost out of care itself, where can I take care of the Southern Dynasty?" ”
"Yes, you say it's good, why do you want a civil war?" Dad Xu was very puzzled.
Ma Lingling interjected: "Grandpa, our history teacher just talked about this this morning, it seems that the talks between the chaebols of the Southern Dynasty and the authorities have broken down, and no one on either side is willing to make concessions, and in the end they can only meet each other in arms." ”
"Did your teacher say that you can win?" Xu Dong asked with a smile.
"The strength of the two sides is about the same, and our teacher guesses that it should be a stalemate, and no one can eliminate anyone."
Xu Dong praised: "I don't see it, your teacher is quite level!" ”
According to the memories of his previous life, this civil war lasted for three or four years, and finally because of the establishment of the Asian League, the two sides shook hands and made peace.
……
Ma Lingling's sister and brother stayed for a weekend and were about to go back, and this time they also brought a large bag of vegetables, as well as 20 eggs and a piece of frozen fish of more than 20 catties.
After getting off the high-speed rail, a station staff looked at the sisters and brothers with big bags and small bags, and said with enthusiasm:
"Lingling, Xiaoxu, went to your grandmother's house again?"
"Hmm!" Ma Lingling smiled and nodded, this is my mother's colleague, "Aunt Lu, do you know where my mother is?" ”
"Let's go, Auntie will take you through the staff passage."
After going around and around, Ma Lingling's sister and brother finally met their mother.
"Lao Xu, your Lingling and Xiao Xu have returned from Yanjing." Sister Lu shouted loudly.
Xu Ting hurriedly thanked her, and at the same time, in order to express her gratitude, she took the duffel bag from her daughter's hand, and then took out a handful of celery from the bag and stuffed it to the other party.
"Stir-fry in the evening."
"What is this for?" Sister Lu pretended to excuse herself and accepted it, muttering incessantly: "Forget it this time, you can't do it next time." ”
After sending Sister Lu away, Xu Ting led a pair of children to the rest area.
Ma Xu was puzzled: "Mom, you adults don't count, Aunt Lu obviously said the same thing last week, why did you take our vegetables this time?" ”
"What do you know at such a young age!"
"Brother, this is called a human relationship."
"Okay, how is your grandmother's house?" Xu Ting asked.
"Okay!" Ma Lingling whispered to her mother: "Mom, my uncle got a 500-pound tuna, and my grandmother gave our family 20 catties, and the fish is in my backpack." ”
"Really?" Xu Ting's eyes lit up, and she urged: "Hurry up and show me." ”
Ma Lingling took off her backpack, and then gently unzipped it, and after only half an hour, the fish had not thawed much, and it was still hard.
Xu Ting stretched out her hand and touched it, with a happy smile on her face, such a large piece of meat is enough for their family to eat for a month.
