Chapter 396: Water Carrier

It's the weekend.

Gu Haiyuan's case was completely closed, and as expected, it was treated as an ordinary accidental injury incident.

Early in the morning, Xu Dong took the children to run in the yard, and since returning from the porcelain capital, under his leadership, the children's exercise has increased a lot.

"Dad, I can't run."

Lele crossed his hands on his waist and gasped.

"Come on, run another twenty laps, and add ten yuan of pocket money per person." Xu Dongli lured.

Lele grabbed the hem of Ma Xu's clothes and prepared to let his cousin run with him, which would be easier.

Erbao was sharp-eyed and immediately reported:

"Dad, the second sister cheats."

Xu Dong glanced at it, and couldn't dampen his little daughter's enthusiasm, so he had to agree: "In Dad's place, it is allowed to help each other." ”

Several children looked at their cousin at the same time.

Ma Xu was so frightened that he threw off his arms and ran, running at the front of the team all the time.

Lele couldn't keep up for a while, so he had to stomp his feet hatefully, but he couldn't bear the ten yuan, so he had to grit his teeth and hang at the back of the line.

Yang Lina is very strict with the children's pocket money, and there are almost no other ways to get pocket money except for housework and New Year's money.

The twins could have been rewarded by exams, but unfortunately the two became more and more competitive, and never entered the top 20 of their class.

After the run, Yang Lina brought a pot of watermelon juice, which was freshly squeezed, and two spoonfuls of honey were added to quench her thirst.

"It's delicious, Mom, I want more." Dabao said, holding up the empty cup.

Yang Lina replied in one gulp: "One cup is enough, it's easy to gain weight if you drink too much, and if you get fat, your classmates will call you a little fat man." ”

"Haha, Dabao is a little fat man."

Lele clapped her little hands and coaxed, but Coco also covered her mouth and snickered.

Dabao immediately became anxious: "Mom lied, I'm not a little fat person." ”

"Big brother is not a little fat man."

"The second sister is a chubby girl!"

As natural allies, Erbao and Xiaobao naturally stood on the side of the eldest brother.

Mother Xu beckoned to her eldest grandson:

"Dabao, come to grandma."

The little guy threw himself into Xu's mother's arms with a crying voice:

"Grandma, I'm not a little fat person."

Mother Xu wiped her tears for her eldest grandson, and said without hesitation: "How can our big treasure be a little fat man?" Dabao is a little man. ”

"Grandma, I'm also a little man."

"And me."

Mother Xu touched the heads of the three brothers one by one, and then called Coco and Lele to her, and began to reminisce about the bittersweet ones.

The children listened with relish.

……

Xu Dong went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then drove out in a small truck.

The sugar was loaded last night.

When I came to the old place, the underground parking lot of a brother unit, someone came over soon, ten minutes earlier than the agreed time, and it seemed that everyone couldn't wait.

"Old Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

The person who came was Lao Zhu of Daxia Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Group, who was also an old acquaintance, and the two lived in the same dormitory.

"It's been almost a year." Xu Dong handed over a cigarette, "How is your work lately?" ”

"It's okay, our shipyard has basically not stopped work in the past two years, and the orders are scheduled for three years, and we can't rest if we want to."

"Are there so many ships to build?"

Xu Dong expressed doubts that now that international trade has shrunk by more than 80 percent, he really can't think of the use of building so many ships.

Fishing?

The fish are almost gone.

Lao Zhu took a deep puff of cigarette: "The main thing that is built is a water carrier, and now the income of a water carrier is no less than that of an oil tanker, and the whole world is grabbing it." ”

"Isn't it okay to rebuild it with a regular merchant ship?"

"Definitely not." Lao Zhu shook his head, "In the Antarctic and Arctic regions, the surrounding seas are densely covered with icebergs, coupled with the changeable climate, it is almost impossible for ordinary cargo ships to move an inch, and they must use ships of the level of icebreakers." ”

"I have a long knowledge, since there are so many icebergs, why don't you drag the icebergs back directly?" Xu Dong said curiously.

"One is that the distance is too far, and it all melts before it can be dragged back; The second is that many of these icebergs are sea ice, and even if they are brought back, they are not worth much. ”

Lao Zhu explained.

"So that's what happened!" Xu Dong nodded.

Lao Zhu finally concluded: "In comprehensive comparison, it is still the most reliable and efficient to build and transport water boats. ”

"That's not right!" Xu Dong suddenly reacted, "With the current climate, the glaciers in the North and South Pole are estimated to be gone in a few years, and won't these ships be built in vain at that time?" ”

"Lao Xu, do you know a lot?" Lao Zhu said unexpectedly.

Xu Dong waved his hand: "I also watched the news." ”

"The situation you are talking about does exist, and in two or three years, the glaciers in the North and South Poles are estimated to be completely wiped out.

But you don't have to worry too much, our country occupies a lot of natural lakes in the North and South Poles, and has built a lot of reservoirs, which should be able to support it for a few more years. ”

"I didn't expect there to be such a show!"

Xu Dong said with heartfelt emotion.

"Don't talk about this, where's my sugar?"

Xu Dong patted the car door: "In the carriage, there are a total of nineteen people on your side, I will give you two bags, a total of two hundred catties, and the extra ten catties, I will subsidize you privately." ”

"Lao Xu, you are interesting enough, thank you."

"Be polite to me."

The reason why Xu Dong is so generous is purely for the sake of the two of them who used to be roommates, plus ten catties of sugar is not much, he is too lazy to do it.

In the end, Lao Zhu left 570,000 yuan in cash, and at the same time transferred 30,000 yuan with his mobile phone.

Not long after Lao Zhu left, someone soon came over again, this time it was Lao Qin, the one who helped deal with Xu's mother's accident last time.

Xu Dong specially sent a message, hoping that the other party could come over as a representative, and he didn't mean anything else, just to take the opportunity to express his gratitude.

Before, because of the epidemic, I didn't have the opportunity to give some gifts, but then I forgot about it directly, and this time I finally remembered it.

"Lao Xu, how is Auntie's leg?"

Xu Dong handed the other party a cigarette as usual, but this time he didn't smoke it himself.

"The doctor said it would be a while, and it should be possible to go to the ground next month."

"Elderly people recover slowly, so it is appropriate to be cautious."

"If I hadn't persuaded her, my mother would have planned to go to the ground this month." Xu Dong smiled bitterly.

Xu's mother is anxious, she has been holding back at home for a long time, and she can't bear it anymore, Xu Dong said that she finally extended the time to August.

But it's not been a few days.

"It's better to pay as much attention as possible!"

"You're right!" Xu Dong nodded, "Okay, let's trade as soon as possible, there are a total of thirty-seven people in your group, and I will move four bags of sugar for you, a total of four hundred catties." ”

"Lao Xu, there are more ......," Lao Qin hurriedly reminded.

"It's not much, the extra thirty catties are considered to be given to you privately, if you feel embarrassed to ask for it, you can pay according to the original price."

"Lao Xu, I don't even know what to say now!"

In the face of the big cake that fell from the sky, Lao Qin really didn't have the courage to refuse.
