My Courtyard Refuge

Rotation Training

The mahjong game didn’t end until five o’clock in the afternoon because of the phone call, but the sandstorm showed no sign of ending.

Today is indeed Xu Ma’s lucky day. She won more than 300 yuan by herself, and she is the biggest winner of this game.

Followed by Zheng Yan, who won about 120 yuan.

Yang Lina and Wang Xiujuan lost about the same amount, and the other lost over two hundred.

“Today is not very lucky, let’s make an appointment to fight next time.” Wang Xiujuan said dissatisfied.

“Okay! Old Wang, you are always welcome here.” Mother Xu agreed with a smile.

“Aunt Wang, I put the lettuce in the bag for you, don’t forget to take it when you leave.”

During the time when Xu Ma and Wang Xiujuan were arguing, Yang Lina had already picked a large bag of lettuce.

“Thank you, Nana.”

“You’re welcome, I planted a lot of lettuce this time, you’ve finished eating here, come pick it next time.”

Zheng Yan came downstairs with her little daughter in her arms, followed by Zhang Yong with a look of reluctance.

Wang Xiujuan stepped forward and picked up her eldest grandson, “Xiaoyong, say goodbye to grandparents, uncles and aunts.”

“Grandpa and grandma, uncles and aunts, sister Keke, sister Lele, goodbye!” Zhang Yong said childishly.

The next day, the sandstorm continued.

Xu Dong had promised Lele before that he would let her eat prawns today. He, who claims to be a good father, certainly would not break his promise easily.

Early in the morning, Xu Dong followed Mama Xu to the vegetable market and a big supermarket to try his luck, but he found nothing. There was no mention of seafood in the market, and even vegetables were pitifully scarce.

He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and use shrimp skin instead. The shelf life of shrimp skin is as long as one year, but Xu Dong hoarded dozens of catties.

At noon, there was an extra seaweed shrimp skin pumpkin soup on the table than usual. It was the first time Mama Xu made this dish, and it tasted really good.

As soon as they heard that it was time to eat, the twins rushed into the dining room impatiently, but after glancing at the dining table, their expressions immediately turned down.

“Dad, where are the prawns? Didn’t you say that there are prawns to eat today?”

Lele held her mouth and asked, since the conditions at home have improved, the food level of the sisters has almost risen in a straight line, and at the same time, they have raised their mouths.

Xu Dong looked a little embarrassed, this was the first time he failed to fulfill his promise to his daughters.

Yang Lina pointed to the pumpkin soup: “Aren’t there shrimps here? How could Dad lie to you?”

Lele took a closer look, and said in a crying voice, “This is a small shrimp, not a big shrimp.”

“This is a prawn that hasn’t grown up yet, why is it not a prawn.” Yang Lina argued sophistry.

Xiao Lele had never studied logic, so she was no match for an adult, she was speechless, and the aggrieved could only sob in a low voice.

“Lele, the shrimp skin soup is made by grandma herself. Grandma has tasted it. It’s delicious. Would you like to have a sip, Lele?”

“Sister, it’s really delicious, just take a sip!” As an older sister, Ke Ke is much more sensible than Lele.

In the end, Xu Dong coaxed the little girl to drink a bowl of seaweed shrimp skin and pumpkin soup, which seemed to give out the taste of prawns, and the little guy smiled through his tears.

Yang Lina couldn’t see it: “You can just get used to her, she will be in the second grade in the second half of the year, I really can’t bear any grievances.”

“Girls, there’s no need to be so strict.” Xu Dong persuaded in a low voice, he has always been a loving father at home.

“It’s not strict now, you will suffer in the future.”

“Hmph, I don’t like my mother anymore.”

…

The sandstorm in Yanjing lasted for three days, and Xu Dong also rested at home for three days.

This round of sandstorm once again sounded the alarm for the intensified drought, and left a trace of haze in everyone’s heart.

On May 15, the entire urban area of ​​Yanjing began to return to normal, and Xu Dong will continue to work.

Early in the morning, the power company carried out a vigorous cleaning activity. Not surprisingly, the security department became the main force of the activity by virtue of its numbers.

Section Chief Li began to assign tasks, skipped the previous ones, and went directly to Xu Dong’s side.

“Xiao Xu, Captain Zhang has suffered from bronchitis, and he has already asked me for leave. The north gate will be handed over to you. It must be cleaned up before noon.

In the afternoon, the big leaders of the head office will come to inspect the work. This is a political task, and there must be no mistakes. ”

“Understood, section chief.” Xu Dongzheng nodded.

After receiving the tools, Xu Dong led three subordinates and immediately began to clean the north gate.

In order to meet the superior boss, the power company must have spent a lot of money this time, and even dispatched a sprinkler.

Vehicles are still a trivial matter, the key is that it is too wasteful of water, Xu Dong feels distressed when he looks at it.

But this water is”Secondary” from other units, the power company has a monthly water-saving task, it is impossible to waste its own water quota.

After a morning of hard work, the North Gate was finally cleaned spotless.

Section Chief Li personally ran over to inspect the acceptance. After pointing out a few minor problems, he finally showed a satisfied smile.

“Xiao Xu, you did a good job.”

“Uncle Li, you can rest assured that I will handle the matter.” Xu Dong said, patting his chest.

“Okay, young people are really motivated.”

Xu Dong blushed a little and said, “Uncle Li, I’m already in my thirties, so I can’t be considered a young man.”

“I said yes, I will go to the office after get off work, and I have something to tell you.”

“Uncle Li, can’t we say it now?” Xu Dongxi asked with a straight face.

Section Chief Li shook his head and explained: “I’m busy now, so I don’t have time to talk to you! After get off work, just come here obediently, and it won’t waste much time.”

Xu Dong nodded and agreed.

In the afternoon, the big boss of the head office arrived as scheduled. The other party’s visit this time was mainly to condolences and commend the front-line employees.

After all, they were the ones who stuck to their posts during the sandstorm, fulfilled their duties, and effectively guaranteed the power supply in downtown Yanjing.

However, the big BOSS is very busy, so he left in a hurry after only staying in the power company for less than an hour.

After get off work, Xu Dong knocked on the door of Section Chief Li’s office as scheduled.

“It’s Xiao Xu, come in quickly.”

“Uncle Li, what do you want from me?” Xu Dong asked bluntly.

Section Chief Li smiled slightly: “It’s a good thing!”

“What good thing?”

“Recently, the Municipal Bureau has launched a rotation training course for police officers. Elite police officers will be selected for key training throughout the city.

Our company happens to have a vacancy, and I have already submitted your name.

You go back and get ready, you won’t have to go to work tomorrow, and go directly to the city bureau headquarters to report. ”

Xu Dong was dumbfounded, and quickly questioned: “Uncle Li, we are not part of the police system. What does this police training session have to do with our security department?”

“Why doesn’t it matter?”

Section Chief Li talked eloquently:

“We are a state-owned enterprise, and the security department is the backup force of the police system. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, as long as you understand one thing, we are absolutely qualified to participate in this training meeting.”

“Then why did you choose me? Can someone else go?”
