The twins' condition was completely cured within two days. Before Xu Dong could breathe a sigh of relief, he caught a cold himself.

It is hard to tell whether it was infected by the baby girls or outside, but he had a fever.

Getting influenza is a bad thing, but not entirely a bad thing.

Look, Xu Dong was holding the sick strip and was ready to take a sick leave.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

"Come in."

Section Chief Li frowned and said, "Why are you here? You can't have come to ask for leave, right?"

"Uncle Li, I don't think about it either, but there is no way. The flu comes at all, and I can't even prevent it." After that, he coughed deliberately.

"You are so young, why should you take leave? Go back to work quickly." Section Chief Li waved his hand.

Xu Dong was a little surprised: "No, Uncle Li, I have a cold, how can I work? It will be bad if it is passed on to others."

"In our security department, apart from you and me, how many people are left?" Section Chief Li said angrily.

Last week, seeing that the situation was not right, Xiang Xin simply asked for a long vacation. She was a pregnant woman and had privileges and no one could say anything.

Next, five old comrades, including Uncle Chen, Lao Fang, Lao Liu and Sister Feng, fell ill one after another and had to take sick leave.

Including Gao Yuemei and Lao Zhu who have resigned, and Lao Jin who have been transferred, there are only four people left in the security department, which is indeed a bit stretched.

Thinking of this, Xu Dong could only complain: "Uncle Li, Sister Gao, Uncle Zhu and Lao Jin have been away for so long, why haven't Corey added new people yet?"

"Don't think about it. Their quota has been taken back by the head office. The number of people in our department must be controlled within eight people next, and there are two more people now!"

"Why?" Xu Dong said unconvincedly.

"Why?" Section Chief Li sneered:

"You go and ask the young engineers who are working overtime day and night on the front-line construction site. Do you think they are really so selfless?"

The power company has taken on many major projects in the past year.

Although the superior department has given many places for formal workers, it still cannot keep up with the expansion speed and in the end it can only lose weight by itself.

Departments like the Security Department, which are not very important, are the key targets of "slimming down".

Fortunately, there are many elderly employees in the security department, and there are several old comrades who are about to retire. The company is still very humane and willing to wait for another two or three years.

"Okay, I didn't say that." Xu Dong made a fuss about it.

"Don't be discouraged, no matter how many people there are in our security department, the section chief or section chief, the weight has not changed." Chief Li encouraged him in time.

"Uncle Li, I understand."

Xu Dong naturally understood. Of course, he was happy to see if he could become a section chief.

"You go out to work if you have nothing to do. I'll leave it to you both the North and South Gate. Be more serious in your work and make mistakes elsewhere." Section Chief Li ordered.

"I will look tighter." Xu Dong nodded and agreed.

"I almost forgot that tomorrow is the weekend, so don't go off. Come to the company to watch it for me. Your aunt will have a prenatal checkup on the weekend."

"No problem, my aunt is doing well recently?"

"It's okay, I hired a nanny. Your aunt is staying at home all day now and doesn't go anywhere. Don't worry too much for the time being." Section Chief Li replied.

"Uncle Li, you should also pay attention to it!" Xu Dong reminded.

"Don't worry, we started to separate last week. I live in a hotel outside and I don't have close contact."

"What should I do if my prenatal examination tomorrow? The hospital is a severely affected area."

Section Chief Li has long been confident: "I made a set of protective clothing for your aunt, and the doctor said it's okay."

"This is a good idea!"

...

For the next period of time, Xu Dong kept going to and from get off work step by step. Due to the lack of staff, the security department not only had fewer holidays, but also had much heavier work tasks than before.

On March 28, Lao Liu, who had been sick at home, heard bad news. The old comrade was unable to survive due to complications.

On April 1st, April Fools' Day, a major news suddenly emerged, temporarily dispersing the haze brought by the flu.

From now on, the Greater Capital Circle will expand again.

The scope covers Tianjin, Tangshan, Langfang, Shicheng and Rong'an New District.

After this round of eastward expansion, her area exceeded 50,000 square kilometers in one fell swoop, reaching an astonishing more than 57,600 square kilometers.

It is almost equivalent to half the area of ​​Minzhou.

When he saw this message, Xu Dong's phone rang immediately, and he saw that it was called by his sister.

"Dongzi, have you seen the news?" Xu Ting said excitedly.

"I saw it, I've said it a long time ago. This is a foregone conclusion and it will never change." Xu Dong looked calm and composed.

"Oh, I really want to thank you. Do you know that just now, the housing prices in our community tripled, which was simply scary."

"The house is for living in it. No matter how much it increases, it has nothing to do with your family. Why are you so excited?" Xu Dong joked.

Xu Ting didn't care: "Haha, our family is also a millionaire, and there are still two. Even if Linlin and Xiaoxu are in trouble in the future, they will have a net worth of tens of millions no matter what."

"Sister, you have no idea. Lingling's academic performance is so good, don't delay the child." Xu Dong reminded in real time.

"No need to say, you should take care of Coco and Lele. I heard from my brother and sister that you are so indulging in them and you are very pampering." Xu Ting complained.

Xu Dong rubbed his temples and joked himself: "Oh, my two children follow me, and they don't have much talent for learning. I'm delaying them."

"You just talk nonsense. I won't talk to you anymore. I want to report good news to my mother."

After Xu Ting said that, she hung up the phone.

Immediately afterwards, my brother-in-law Ma Jie also called Xu Dong.

"Hey, brother-in-law, I've seen the news."

"Dongzi, my brother-in-law doesn't know what to say. You have helped our family this time."

Listening to the sound, my brother-in-law is even more excited than my sister. It is not difficult for Xu Dong to understand that men need to support their families and the pressure is much greater than their partner.

"Brother-in-law, we are all a family, so we really don't have to be so disgusted. I don't make much contribution to this matter. The key is that you and your wife have courage."

"Oh, your sister is still brave enough. At the beginning, I said she wanted to move, but in fact I opposed it. Fortunately, your sister is the one who decides our family." Ma Jie said with gratitude.

"Uh, is my sister so strong?" Xu Dong said curiously.

At least in his previous life, he really didn't see how strong his sister was.

Ma Jie smiled bitterly and said, "It was okay before, but we discussed and decided to do anything at home.

But since you reminded us to stock up on food, your sister has become stronger and stronger, but fortunately her choices are all right."

Xu Dong finally understood what the problem was.

After all, it was his reason. This was the first time he had clearly felt what the butterfly effect was.
