The next day happened to be a Sunday, and Xu Dong asked two old friends who worked in Sydney to come out for tea, and the three of them basically got together once or twice a year.

The location was chosen in an ordinary teahouse.

These two group friends, one surnamed Bai, is the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, mainly in charge of road traffic safety and management; The other surnamed Tian is a little worse, and he is the leader of the sub-bureau below, and he can be regarded as having survived.

"Lao Bai, Lao Tian, you two have finally arrived, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year."

Xu Dong walked to the gate to greet him.

Deputy Director Bai pretended to be angry and said: "Last month, Lao Zhao and the others came on a business trip, and they haven't seen each other for more than ten years. ”

"Alas, I went to Feizhou in March, and then I was dragged by the people above to go to Europa, where there was a lot of waste, and the mobile phone had no signal at all, so I could only use the public phone." Xu Dong explained helplessly.

Director Tian looked at the young man on the side, and hurriedly asked, "Old Xu, this is your family'...... Fourth? ”

He guessed it right at once.

The main reason is that the father and son look very similar, and the other party is wearing a police uniform, which is still easy to guess.

Erbao immediately saluted the two leaders:

"Hello Baiju, I'm a trainee police officer......"

"Take it easy, it's not a formal occasion today." Deputy Director Bai waved his hand, "We have been old friends with your father for more than ten years, just call your uncle." ”

"Hello Uncle Bai! Hello Uncle Tian! ”

"The young man is really a talent, Lao Xu, you have a successor."

Director Tian followed with a compliment.

He is the lowest status of the three, and the other two are his top boss and the richest man in the world, and the gap between the three is a bit big.

But then again, he has also been stained with a lot of light over the years, on the one hand, in his career, and in his material life.

Especially in life, Lao Xu has helped a lot.

Xu Dong smiled with relief: "Okay, don't talk about him, let's sit down quickly, this time I am looking for the two of you to come out, mainly because I have something to ask for." ”

"Hey, you Lao Xu also can't do it?"

Deputy Director Bai was a little surprised.

Director Tian was more thoughtful, he glanced at Erbao, and then guessed:

"It can't be your fourth child, right? If I remember correctly, he just graduated this year. ”

Xu Dong suddenly gave a thumbs up.

Erbao was not idle at this time, serving tea, pouring water, and setting snacks, and he was very busy.

Deputy Director Bai looked at the plate of delicate and tempting dim sum in front of him, and couldn't help but taste a piece on the spot.

"It's delicious, it tastes amazing."

"My youngest daughter made it, I asked her to pack two more copies, and when you leave, you can take it back together by the way!" Xu Dong explained casually.

When Erbao heard this, he immediately put two identical big food boxes next to the two uncles.

"I guessed that it was Lele, the little fried meat she made last time, I won't tell you, I can't help but drool when I think about it now. Lao Xu, you are still blessed, you have a caring daughter, you can eat whatever you want. ”

Deputy Director Bai couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Dong looked proud: "You said it earlier, if you said it earlier, I asked Lele to fry a large plate of meat and bring it over, and it would only be ten minutes." ”

"I'm a dignified deputy director, I want to be cheeky!"

Deputy Director Bai didn't have a good air.

"Okay, don't say I don't take care of you, the next time I have a dinner, I'll send a message to ask you in advance, don't be polite to me, if you want to eat, just tell me directly."

"This is your own promise, don't forget?"

"I can't forget it." Xu Dong smiled and shook his head.

……

After some small talk, several people finally turned the topic around Erbao, and Xu Dong briefly talked about his second son's work.

After hearing this, Deputy Director Bai said solemnly:

"Lao Xu, I know you feel sorry for your child, but there is a good saying, if you suffer hardship, you will become a master, and now is not the time to be reluctant.

If you want me to say, it's okay to let Xiao Xu go overseas to exercise for a few years, with this qualification, he can be promoted when he comes back, which is good for his future growth, and many people in our group have come over like this. ”

"I understand the reason, but our family is in a special situation."

Xu Dong sighed helplessly, and then explained:

"First, the fourth child of my family talked about a girlfriend by himself, who is also from the police academy, and the girls stayed in Sydney, and he was reluctant to separate."

"What's this? Wouldn't it be okay to transfer it together? ”

Deputy Director Bai proposed.

"This can only be regarded as a secondary reason, the main reason is still the third and fifth, one of them is going to work in the Philippines, and the other is in Qiongdao University, and there is a high probability that they will stay in the local area after graduation.

The reason why I want to keep the fourth child is mainly for the sake of the two old people in the family, the three grandchildren, can't they not stay with any of them, right?

Besides, the old man in our family is not in good health, in case he can't hold it up one day, having a grandson by his side can make up for some regrets. ”

Xu Dong patiently explained.

"Lao Xu, I understand, in this situation of your family, Xiao Xu should indeed stay."

Deputy Director Bai nodded subconsciously.

Seeing this, Director Tian immediately issued an invitation:

"Xiao Xu, do you want to come to Uncle Tian's side?"

"Uncle Tian, smoking." Erbao hurriedly handed a cigarette to the other party, and then said tentatively: "This, can your branch recruit my girlfriend as well?" ”

"You kid is really a hero, sad to be a beauty, ......"

Director Tian took the opportunity to joke.

Erbao suddenly smiled bitterly: "Uncle Tian, what kind of hero am I?" If you really want to talk about heroes, you old-timers have to look at you. ”

"Haha, you're right." Deputy Director Bai smiled knowingly, "More than ten years ago, including your father, which of us didn't come from a rain of bullets?" You, Uncle Bai, and I have been in the intensive care ward three times. ”

Director Tian followed and exposed his left arm: "I almost couldn't save this arm, and your father is not bad, the fire in the first factory back then, if the luck is a little worse, the little life will have to be taken in." ”

"Okay, the hero doesn't mention the courage of the year."

Xu Dong waved his hand.

"Dad, Uncle Bai, Uncle Tian, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine." Erbao was in awe in his heart.

"Here, let's toast!"

"I also wish Xiao Xu a bright future."

Deputy Director Bai put down the teacup and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Xiao Xu, let me tell you, your father is a pity, if he could be transferred into our police system back then, he would definitely be better than me now." ”

"Lao Bai, I don't agree with this, Lao Xu is now the richest man in the world, calling for wind and rain in the shopping mall, and there is news about him on TV every once in a while, isn't this more exciting than our life?"

"Alas, you're right, I'm just sorry for his two first-class medals, if you could give them to me, I would have been promoted to the top of the list by now."

Deputy Director Bai slapped his thigh hard.

"Hehe, if you want to be beautiful, even if you can make it, I won't let it go to you, this is the honor I exchanged my life for, and it is the heirloom of our old Xu family."

After Xu Dong finished speaking, he looked at the second son on the side:

"Fourth, you can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business now, my medals will be passed on to you in the future, you must pass them on well, don't lose them."

Erbao nodded seriously:

"Dad, don't worry!"
