Chapter 501: Five Years Later
The sun and the moon are like shuttles, and time is like an arrow!
In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.
Ma Lingling has graduated from college and is currently working in a bakery; The Coco sisters became sophomores in high school; The three Dabao brothers also entered junior high school.
Xu Dong officially took over the post of director last year.
Looking back over the past five years, many major events have also taken place in the international arena.
The first is the disintegration of the Grand League of Europe.
This was the biggest piece of international news of the twenties, and the root cause of it can be summed up in one sentence: the divergences between the parties.
Typical blessings are shared, and difficulties are different.
It can also be described in one sentence: poor couples mourn everything, and they fly separately when disaster comes!
Second, the glaciers of the Arctic and Antarctic all melted three years ago, and mankind lost the largest freshwater reserves on the Blue Star, and it was in this year that the price of water soared to varying degrees in various countries almost at the same time.
On the side of Great Xia, the price of water has directly tripled.
The current price of water is 300 yuan per ton.
The third is the southward expansion of the Mutual Treaty Organization, which includes the Kangaroo State and New Zealand, bringing the number of member states to 16 in one fell swoop.
Fourth, the International Space Station has been successfully operating for three years, especially in space breeding, and has achieved a lot of scientific research results.
Fifth, countries have signed the Antarctic Protocol, and the entire Mutual Treaty Organization has been granted land trust rights of almost 7.7 million square kilometers.
……
On December 28, 2030 in the Great Xia calendar, in three days, the new year will come again.
Today happens to be Saturday, according to the usual practice, Xu Jingyi took her two sons to the courtyard, one is to visit her grandparents, and the other is to rub some delicious food and drink.
She and Pan Jun got married in May 26, and less than a year after marriage, they gave birth to their eldest son Pan Hongze, and then gave birth to their second son Xu Hongpei last year.
The girl next door has become the young woman she is today.
"Grandma, the little lion has come to see you."
The little lion is Pan Hongze's nickname, the little guy is four years old this year, he is chubby, and he is very cute.
When the three Dabao brothers heard the voice of their eldest nephew, they hurriedly put away all the toys and figurines in the bedroom.
Now the most favored in the family are these two little guys, who made the two of them the youngest, The whole family is basically obedient to the two.
The position of the three brothers has been challenged as never before.
Mother Xu was picking vegetables, and when she saw her great-grandson, she hurriedly put down the work in her hand and stepped forward to pick up the little one.
Over the years, Mama Xu doesn't seem to have changed much, but there are more gray hairs on her head.
"Little lion, do you miss grandma?"
"Thought."
In order to prove himself, the little lion kissed his grandmother on the face.
Mother Xu teased her great-grandson, and then put the little guy on the ground, after all, he is in his sixties, and his physical strength is not as good as before.
"Uncles are in the room, you go and play with them, Grandma stewed fragrant chicken soup, wait for the soup to come out."
The little lion's eyes lit up, and then he ran into the house, he liked his grandmother's house too much, not only delicious food, but also a lot of fun toys.
Xu Jingyi reminded in the back: "Run slower, don't fall." ”
Mother Xu pulled her eldest granddaughter into the living room.
"Grandma, what about uncle and aunt?"
"One of your uncle's old leaders died, and the two of them went out early in the morning."
The old leader in Xu's mother's mouth is Director Cao, the old guy was diagnosed with stomach cancer in a physical examination a year ago, and finally failed to survive this year.
"Are you coming back at noon?"
"I'm sure I'll be back, what are the two of them going to eat if they don't come back?" Mother Xu looked affirmative.
Although the grain production capacity of Bactria can meet the daily needs of all the people, even the members of the Asian Treaty, it is still quite tight on the whole, and there is no room for waste.
"That's good, isn't Uncle going to Hancheng? My mother-in-law wanted to bring some clothes for the little lion and his grandfather, and wanted my uncle to help bring them. ”
Xu Jingyi explained.
My father-in-law has been stationed in Hancheng since five years ago, and now he has been staying for five years, but I heard that he should be able to transfer back to Yanjing next year.
The mother-in-law has been looking forward to it for so long, and the old couple can finally be reunited.
"You can send the things over directly tomorrow, your uncle will leave next Monday, don't miss the time."
"Okay, it's packed."
"Well, can Pan Jun come back for the Chinese New Year this year?"
Xu Jingyi smiled bitterly and shook her head: "The situation in North Africa has been unstable recently, and their fleet has a mission to come back for the time being." ”
"Well, look at how you two are doing this day......"
"Milk, it's okay, I'm used to it."
Mother Xu didn't want to mention the bad things anymore, so she changed the topic: "How is Bangxiang doing over there?" Has the time been set? ”
"It's settled, and the wedding will be held on the third day of the Lunar New Year."
Tan Bangxiang talked about three girlfriends before and after these years, and in the end, he was very helpful and helped the other party find a reliable candidate.
Although the other party is not a local household registration in Yanjing, he is very beautiful, and Tan Bangxiang fell in love with him at a glance.
Tan Aifang originally wanted to oppose it, but Tan Aimin agreed with both of them, and in the end she could only send her blessings.
"It's good to settle down, this kid is not young anymore, and there is no way to delay it any longer."
Xu Ma was relieved.
"Bang Xiang can be regarded as a positive result."
At this time, the youngest son in Xu Jingyi's arms woke up, and Xu's mother immediately helped the little doll peel a kumquat.
"Little Huzi, grandma has something delicious here, open your mouth quickly."
"To eat... To eat ...... "grain boil."
"Sweet or not?"
"Sweet!"
Xu's mother sighed while feeding the oranges: "What I'm most worried about now is Lingling, she is not too young, and she hasn't even talked about a boyfriend." ”
"Grandma, Lingling is now a company executive, and she is busy all day long, how can she have time to fall in love? If you want me to say, just give her a long vacation. ”
Ma Lingling's career is very smooth, and she became the leader of the marketing department less than two years after graduation, of course, if you count her part-time and internship time, six years is not a short time.
"Alas, if I knew this, I would have avoided her in the bakery at the beginning, but now she looks like a strong woman."
Mother Xu shook her head helplessly.
"Is there any news from Grandma Wang?"
"I've seen a few and I'm not satisfied, and your aunt is also dying, so I don't know what to do."
"Do you want my mother-in-law to help introduce you?"
Xu Jingyi proposed.
"Your mother-in-law?"
"Yes, my mother-in-law has been like to introduce people lately, so I'll go back and talk to her and ask her to help keep an eye on it."
Mother Xu thought about it, then nodded and agreed.
Most of the people introduced by Lao Wang here are some civil servants, and the homogenization is too serious, maybe there will be surprises when you change careers.
……
At the same time, Xu Bin and his wife had just come out of the funeral home, Yang Lina took a taxi and went back first, and Xu Dong was left behind by Director Li.
The two found a teahouse.
Xu Dong poured tea for the other party, and said earnestly: "Uncle Li, Uncle Cao is walking too fast, you always have to take care of your body, don't work too hard." ”
"Fuck off, I'm in good health, and it's Lao Cao who sits in the office every day, lacking exercise, and is the most prone to problems." Director Li didn't have a good air.
"Well, what you keep talking about is what you say!"
Xu Dong smiled and nodded.
Director Li took a sip of tea and asked:
"That Li Wei, are you still in touch?"
Xu Dong shook his head: "In the past few years, I would occasionally make a phone call, but since Director Cao retired, he has gradually become estranged, what's wrong?" ”
"It's fine." Director Li waved his hand, "It's okay if it's broken, a person like him who likes political speculation is not a person from you, just ignore him." ”
"I think so too, Section Chief Li is too ambitious, and he wanted to form a gang before, but I rejected it directly."
"By the way, Lao Feng and they are about to retire, and there will be a lot of changes in the security department this time, what are your plans?"
Director Li said with concern.
Lao Fang retired last year, and this year he will retire three people at once, and the security department will have a big change.
"What can I plan, the places have been arranged above, and the city bureau has recommended one person, as well as two retired soldiers."
Since the signing of the Treaty of Asia, the pressure on domestic border defense has been greatly reduced, and in contrast, many personnel have been laid off one after another in the past two years.
Director Li nodded, and then asked:
"What is Lao Fang doing now?"
"He, after retiring, opened a small supermarket, but it closed down after less than three months, I think he really doesn't have the brain, so I arranged for him to enter our bread factory as a security captain."
"I've also heard about your bread factory, and it seems that the treatment is quite good!"
Over the years, the Cola Bread Factory has become a leader in the domestic food industry and the largest food exporter.
In addition, it has also established five branches at home and abroad, with an annual production of more than 2.5 million tons of various breads, and achieved a net profit of 1.28 billion yuan last year alone.
The momentum is very fast.
Xu Dong teased: "If you always want to go in, I can help introduce you." ”
"Hey, do I look like I'm going to retire?"
To tell the truth, since Director Li became the director of the sub-bureau, he has a feeling of second spring, anyway, the more alive he is, the more energetic he becomes.
"It's not very like!" Xu Dong replied truthfully.
"I won't talk nonsense with you, I came to you this time because I wanted to ask you for help."
Director Li said solemnly.
"What's the matter?" Xu Dong looked curious.
"Can you still get sugar over there?"
Xu Dong nodded: "Yes, yes, but why do you want sugar?" ”
"It's not about to be the New Year, I want to help the people below get some benefits."
Director Li replied.
"It's too early, it's still more than half a month before the Chinese New Year?" Xu Dong was surprised.
"It's not early, it's not early, it will take time for you to find a source of goods here, besides, if I didn't do it earlier, it is estimated that the supply of goods in your hands would have been robbed a long time ago."
"Okay, before the fifteenth of next month, I will definitely help you do it."
Xu Dong agreed.
Over the years, he has successively sold more than 100 tons of sugar, most of which are traded through Mr. Mack, and they need a lot of money and good secrecy.
But even so, there are still more than 450 tons of sugar in the basement, which is only half completed from the original inventory plan.
Plans don't change fast.
In the past two years, the price of white sugar has dropped a lot, and he deliberately reduced the speed of shipments.
