The twins' condition was completely cured within two days, and before Xu Dong could breathe a sigh of relief, he himself caught a cold.

I can't tell if he was infected by the baby girls or outside, but he had a fever.

Having the flu is a bad thing, but it's not entirely bad.

No, Xu Dong took the sick slip and was about to ask for sick leave.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Come in."

When Section Chief Li saw that it was Xu Dong, he immediately frowned and said, "What are you doing here, won't you also come to ask for leave?" ”

"Uncle Li, I don't want to, but I can't help it, this flu will come when it is said, and I can't prevent it." Xu Dong sighed.

"Nonsense, you are so young, what kind of leave do you ask, hurry back to work." Section Chief Li waved his hand.

Xu Dong was a little stunned: "No, Uncle Li, I have a cold, how can I work?" It's not good in case it is passed on to someone else. ”

"Our security department, apart from you and me, how many people are left?" Section Chief Li didn't have a good airway.

Last week, seeing that the situation was not right, Xiang Xin simply took a long vacation, she was pregnant, privileged, and no one had anything to say.

Next, one after another, five old comrades, including Uncle Chen, Lao Fang, Lao Liu and Sister Feng, fell ill one after another and could only take sick leave.

Counting Gao Yuemei and Lao Zhu, who have left the company, plus Lao Jin, who has been transferred, there are only four people left in the security department now, which is indeed a little stretched.

Thinking of this, Xu Dong could only complain: "Uncle Li, Sister Gao, Uncle Zhu and Lao Jin have all been gone for so long, why hasn't Corey added new people?" ”

"Don't think about it, their quota has been withdrawn by the head office, and the number of people in our department must be controlled within eight people next, and there are two more people at the moment!"

"Why?" Xu Dong was not convinced.

"Why?" Section Chief Li sneered:

"If you ask the large number of young engineers who are struggling on the front-line construction site and working overtime day and night, do you think they are really so selfless?"

In the past year, the power company has taken on a lot of big projects.

Although the higher authorities gave many places for regular workers, they still couldn't keep up with the speed of expansion, and in the end they could only slim down.

A department that is not too important, such as the Security Section, is the focus of "slimming".

However, fortunately, there are more elderly employees in the security department, and there are several old comrades who are about to retire, and the company is still very humane and willing to wait for another two or three years.

"Well, I didn't say that." Xu Dong was bored with himself.

"Don't be discouraged, no matter how many people there are in our security department, the section chief is still the section chief, the weight has not changed." Section Chief Li encouraged in time.

"Uncle Li, I understand."

Xu Dong naturally understood, and he was happy to see it happen if he could be a section chief.

"It's okay, you go out to work, I'll hand over the north gate and the south gate to you, work hard, don't make mistakes." Section Chief Li commanded.

"I'll keep an eye on it." Xu Dong nodded in agreement.

"I almost forgot, tomorrow is the weekend, don't take any time off, come to the company to help me watch it, your aunt will have a prenatal checkup on the weekend."

"No problem, how is my aunt lately?"

"It's okay, I hired a nanny, your aunt is staying at home all day now and not going anywhere, don't worry too much for the time being." Section Chief Li replied.

"Uncle Li, you should also pay attention here!" Xu Dong reminded.

"Don't worry, the two of us have been separated since last week, and I live in a hotel outside now, and I don't usually have close contact."

"What about tomorrow's prenatal check-up? The hospital is the hardest hit area. ”

Section Chief Li has long been confident: "I got a set of protective clothing for your aunt, and the doctors said that there was no problem." ”

"That's a good idea!"

……

For the next period of time, Xu Dong has been commuting to and from work step by step, because of the lack of manpower, the security department not only has fewer holidays, but also has a lot of heavier work tasks than before.

On March 28, Lao Liu, who had been sick at home, received bad news that the old comrade finally failed to survive because of complications.

On April 1, April Fool's Day, a bombshell news suddenly came out, temporarily dispelling the haze caused by the pandemic.

From now on, the Greater Capital Area will expand again.

The area covers Jinmen, Tangshan, Langfang, Lion City and Rong'an New District.

After this round of eastward expansion, its area exceeded 50,000 square kilometers in one fell swoop, reaching an astonishing more than 57,600 square kilometers.

It is almost equivalent to the area of half of Minzhou.

At the same time as seeing this news, Xu Dong's phone rang immediately, and he saw that it was the old lady calling.

"Dongzi, have you seen the news?" Xu Ting said excitedly.

"See, didn't I say it earlier, this is a sure thing, and it is absolutely impossible to change." Xu Dong looked breezy and calm.

"Oh, sister, I really want to thank you, do you know, just now, the housing prices in our community directly tripled, it's just too scary."

"The house is for living, no matter how much it rises, it has nothing to do with your family, why are you so excited?" Xu Dong quipped.

Xu Ting didn't care: "Haha, our family is also a multimillionaire, and there are two." No matter how bad Linlin and Xiaoxu are in the future, they will have a net worth of tens of millions no matter what. ”

"Sister, you can't think about it, Lingling's academic performance is so good, don't delay the child." Xu Dong reminded in real time.

"You don't need to say it, you better take care of Coco and Lele, I heard from my brother and sister that you are indulgent to the two of them, and you are very spoiled." Xu Ting complained.

Xu Dong rubbed his temples and teased himself: "Alas, the two children follow me, and they have no talent for learning, and it is I who delays the two of them." ”

"You just have a poor mouth, I won't talk to you, I want to report good news to my mother."

Xu Ting hung up the phone after speaking.

Immediately afterwards, brother-in-law Ma Jie also called Xu Dong here.

"Hey, brother-in-law, I saw the news."

"Dongzi, brother-in-law doesn't know what to say, you have done our family a great favor this time."

Listening to the voice, the brother-in-law is even more excited than the elder sister, Xu Dong is not difficult to understand, after all, a man needs to support his family, and the pressure is much greater than that of the other half.

"Brother-in-law, we are all a family, we really don't need to see each other like this, I don't have much credit for it, the key is that you and your husband have courage."

"Alas, it's still your sister who has the courage to say that she wanted to move at the beginning, but in fact I was against it, but fortunately, your sister is in charge of our family." Ma Jie rejoiced.

"Uh, is my sister so strong?" Xu Dong said curiously.

At least in his previous life, he really didn't see how strong the old sister was.

Ma Jie smiled bitterly: "It was okay before, whatever happened at home, the two of us discussed it together."

But since you reminded us to stock up, your sister has become more and more powerful, but fortunately, she made the right choice. ”

Xu Dong finally understood what the problem was.

In the end, it was because of him, and this was the first time he had clearly felt what the butterfly effect was.
