The next morning, in a teahouse near Jingzhi Garden, Xu Bin's family of three, plus Xu's mother, met with Pan Jun's family as scheduled.

After some introductions, the two sides sat down around the table, and Tan Aifang ordered a pot of chrysanthemum tea and an empty plate.

Xu Jingyi took out a pack of small snacks from her handbag and gently put it on the plate.

Mother Xu pointed to the dim sum and introduced: "The biscuits were made by Jingyi and her aunt, what kind of macarons are they, in my opinion, isn't this a sandwich biscuit?" ”

"Don't say it's really like it!" Pan Mu echoed.

"Yingying, don't you have a sweet tooth? Give it a try! ”

Xu Jingyi said with a smile.

In the past week, because of her work at the same newspaper, she and her "future sister-in-law" quickly narrowed the distance, and even invited each other home for a few or two lunches.

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law!"

Pan Ying couldn't wait to take two macarons.

Xu Jingyi made a big red face, and quickly hammered her boyfriend a few times with her small fist.

Seeing the interaction between the young couples, everyone showed good-natured laughter.

"It's really delicious, so sweet!"

Pan Ying praised.

"Eat more if it's delicious, Yingying's parents, you can taste it too." Mother Xu smiled happily.

Pan's mother and Pan's father each took a piece of dim sum and tasted it carefully, not to mention that the taste was really good, especially the sweetness, it was so sweet to the bone.

Although the living conditions of the Pan family are not bad, they are just able to eat enough, and luxury goods like macarons are a rare enjoyment for them.

Xu Jingyi also helped her boyfriend get a piece.

"Grandma Jingyi, you can eat too!"

Pan's mother pushed the plate in front of Xu's mother.

Mother Xu shook her head: "I'm old, I have high blood lipids, I can't eat such sweet things, you can eat it!" ”

"That's a real caveat."

There weren't many dim sum on a plate, and Pan Ying didn't know what politeness was at all, so the plate quickly bottomed out.

Pan Mu wiped her mouth, a little embarrassed:

"Grandma Jingyi, let you see and laugh, I haven't eaten sweets for a long time, I didn't keep my mouth shut for a while!"

Mother Xu smiled and waved her hand: "You like to eat, I'm happy!" ”

An hour later, the meeting ended.

The two sides just chatted briefly, and didn't say anything in-depth, after all, the two children have only known each other for half a month, and it's too early to talk about engagement.

"Pan Jun, you drive Grandma Jingyi."

Father Pan commanded.

"Yes, Dad!"

Xu's mother excused herself: "No need, let's just take a taxi and go back." ”

"Grandma Jingyi, anyway, Pan Jun has time, just let him send you away, it won't take much time." Pan Mu immediately persuaded.

Xu Jingyi grabbed her grandmother's arm and helped persuade her.

Mother Xu had no choice but to nod: "Okay, Xiao Pan, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Grandma, don't bother!"

Pan Jun first sent his girlfriend's family back to the courtyard, and then returned to pick up his parents and little sister.

In the car, Pan's mother couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"Look at other people's lives, it's much better than ours, I heard Yingying say how good their guys eat before, I thought it was a swollen face and a fat man, but now I know that it's not at all."

"Mom, how do you tell?"

Pan Ying said curiously.

"Eyes can't deceive people, have you noticed? Jingyi's grandmother hadn't seen a few dim sums from beginning to end, and they really didn't take it seriously. ”

Pan Mu explained.

Pan Ying licked her lips: "Macarons are really delicious, I don't know if there is a chance to eat them." ”

"Just know how to eat, your brother's business, you do your best, if Jingyi becomes your sister-in-law, will you still have this bit of food?" Pan's mother didn't have a good airway.

"Mom, you have a point!"

Pan Jun smiled bitterly: "Mom, we have a good relationship with Jingyi, you don't have to worry." ”

"What's the use, in another week, you'll be back in the army, what will you do then?"

"We can call each other on the phone."

Pan's mother shook her head: "Unless you get the certificate, your father and I will really rest assured." ”

"Don't take me, I have a lot of faith in my son."

Father Pan smiled.

……

On June 14, Pan's army returned to its troops.

On June 25, the Kangaroo Kingdom sent a delegation to Daxia for friendly exchanges.

On June 28, the two sides signed a series of friendly trade agreements.

June 30, the last day of June.

Great Xia successfully launched the first module of the International Space Station, the Dragon Chamber, thus opening the prelude to the reconstruction of the International Space Station.

The time entered July, and the rest of the place did not know, anyway, the residents of the capital region suffered directly from the blow.

Compared with June, the share of rations this month has dropped by one-fifth, which is difficult for many people to accept.

According to this standard, not to mention that you are full, you can count it as burning high incense if you don't starve to death.

Soon, a rumor appeared in the market.

In the office of the Security Section, there is a heated discussion around this rumor.

The old man slapped the table fiercely: "Blanch, I know that this Asian mutual treaty is unreliable, let's just live our own lives, why do you care about other people's lives or deaths?" ”

Ren Li was a little embarrassed, he was the beneficiary of this decision, no matter whether others opposed it or not, he raised his hands in favor anyway.

"Lao Fang, I remember that you agreed with it at the beginning, and you still said that you are back on top of the world, and you still have the face to say this?" Valley

Sister Feng sneered.

"Ahem, I also listened to the nonsense of the section chief, and he swore to me at the time that there were not many people left in the other member states, and it was not a big problem."

"Okay, Uncle Fang, I've been caught now, and I'm actually talking bad about the boss behind my back."

Xiang Xin said with a wicked smile.

The amount of rations has little impact on Xiang Xin's family for the time being, and their family's food storage is enough to cope with three or four years.

The old man immediately begged for mercy: "Xiao Xiang, it's not a gentleman's work to make a small report, your Uncle Fang is open-mouthed, you shouldn't have heard it, right?" ”

"Huh... I'm a woman, not a gentleman! ”

"Okay, Uncle Fang owes you a favor."

The old man said helplessly.

"Okay, that's a deal."

Uncle Chen interjected: "Don't interrupt the two of you, the section chief is not omnipotent, and he doesn't know the specific situation abroad, so it seems that the prediction is wrong." ”

"But what the section chief said is also reasonable, after so many years, there shouldn't be many talents left abroad, and I don't know what went wrong this time."

Lao Gu couldn't help but sigh.

Their family no longer has much food in stock, and Rehe's mistake caused their family to suffer heavy losses, and now looking back, they regret it.

"There hasn't been an earthquake in two months, and I haven't heard of any accidents there, so I can't imagine anything other than the Asian Treaty."

Lao Fang sighed.

"I can't live this day!" Sister Feng said bitterly.

"I don't know what will happen next month! I heard that the price of food on the black market is about to rise like crazy, and I used to be able to find a little food for a little more money, but now I have no chance at all. ”

For a while, the office was gloomy!

"I knew that the sugar from last time would not be given away, so I should keep it for emergencies." Sister Feng regretted it.

"Hey, Lao Feng, why are you giving it away?"

Lao Fang asked.

"Alas, I helped my Xiaojie get a job." Sister Feng replied.

Uncle Chen patted his thigh: "Lao Feng, you are confused, have you forgotten the sign of our family's front car?" ”

"No way, Xiaojie messed with me every day, and later wanted to go on a hunger strike, so I agreed to her with a soft heart......"

Sister Feng couldn't talk anymore.

"What kind of work? Want ten pounds of sugar? ”

Xiang Xin said curiously.

"I don't have ten catties, I keep one catty, the work is okay, I work as a clerk in the street office, and there is a establishment."

"That's also a loss, how much salary is the street office a month? The oil and water are not as much as our company! ”

The old man said with a look of regret.

"Who says it's not, I regretted it the day I sent it, but what's the use of regretting? Just what I owe her in my last life! ”

"Sister Feng, look at it, maybe there will be white sugar this year!" Xiang Xin comforted.

"It's hard for me to see!" The old man shook his head.

"Even if the section chief has money, he can't buy food at the moment, so don't expect too much."

Uncle Chen echoed.

Xu Dong's side, as soon as he came back from outside, he saw that the office was full of people, and he couldn't help but be curious:

"At noon, you don't go to dinner, what do you get together to talk about?"

Xiang Xin hurriedly replied: "Boss, let's talk about rations again, this month's rations are almost a cliff drop, it's too terrifying." ”

"I've heard about it, this time it's a natural disaster, and there's nothing I can do."

Xu Dong explained casually.

"Acts of God? Section chief, isn't it a man-made disaster? ”

The old man wondered.

"What man-made disaster?"

"The Asian Treaty, the food we have little must have been used to subsidize outsiders."

"How is that possible?" Xu Dong shook his head:

"How many people we have in China, how many people abroad, you can calculate for yourself and know that it is impossible, of course, there must be an impact, but it is not the main reason."

Lao Fang hurriedly asked, "Section chief, what is the main reason?" It can't be the natural disaster you just mentioned, right? ”

"It's a natural disaster." Xu Dong nodded.

"Boss, make your words clear!"

Xiang Xin urged.

"I don't know the specific situation, it should be a little problem at the plant factory, it seems that there is some kind of wilt, which affects the grain production."

The reason why Xu Dong knows these is completely the memory of his previous life, and this "blight" turmoil has lasted intermittently for two or three years, and the impact is very great.

"Blight? Really? ”

"I've also heard from other people, it seems to be a new germ, it's difficult to deal with, don't go out and spread it, so as not to cause panic."

"Boss, don't worry, we won't talk nonsense." Xiang Xin assured.

Xu Dong immediately added: "If any of you say it, I don't care who it is, and all the benefits this year will be cancelled." ”

Xiang Xin was overjoyed: "Boss, will you still receive benefits this year?" ”

"Of course there is, don't worry, if there is no accident, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be issued."

During the previous Dragon Boat Festival, Xu Dong had already sent a round of benefits to the group members of the rotation training class, and this time it should be the turn of the security department.

"Thank you, section chief!"

"Sister Feng, let me say it, the boss is very capable!" Xiang Xin said happily.

Sister Feng wiped a handful of tears: "It's so good! ”

PS: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly passes!
