Halfway through the meal, Section Chief Li talked about his marriage past:
"Xiao Xu, do you think I like the new and hate the old? I'm so old yet I still marry your aunt?"
Xu Dong shook his head repeatedly: "How is it possible, Uncle Li? You and your aunt have such a good relationship. There is no age difference when it comes to love."
No matter what you think in your heart, you should say this, otherwise you will offend people to death.
"Well said!" Section Chief Li picked up the tea cup and touched it with Xu Dong, "You should have listened to Lao Gao and the others. I have a daughter who is only two years younger than you."
Xu Dong nodded. Section Chief Li's daughter is named Ning Yuanyuan. It is said that she took her mother's surname when she was born.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I almost married into my ex-wife's family back then. Their family was in good condition, but I didn't have any status at home..."
Xu Dong didn't expect that Section Chief Li still had such a bitter past.
"After the divorce, I only wanted to have a child with my last name, either a daughter or a son. At that time, your Aunt Li had also just divorced, and we met through a blind date."
"Of course I got married later. Your aunt is very nice and always encouraged me. She even accompanied me to the hospital for a checkup.
Fortunately, hard work paid off and we finally had our own child.
Even if I die in the future, your aunt will still have someone to rely on, which will make our life as a couple worthwhile."
Section Chief Li looked affectionate.
Xu Dong quickly tried to persuade him: "Uncle Li, what nonsense are you talking about? With your body, you can have a grandchild."
"Haha, I think I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until that day!"
Both of them subconsciously ignored Ning Yuanyuan, mainly because the relationship between father and daughter was really bad.
After the meal, Section Chief Li pulled Xu Dong into the study.
"Uncle Li, what are you doing? It's getting late, I should go back." Xu Dong declined.
Section Chief Li smiled: "It won't take much time. I have some good cigarettes and wine here. You can pick some and take them back."
"No need..."
"Why don't you use it? I know the rules in Panjiayuan better than you. In this world, no real money or silver is as useful as tobacco and alcohol."
Finally, at Section Chief Li's insistence, Xu Dong took ten cartons of famous cigarettes and five boxes of famous wine, as well as a large number of expensive supplements such as cordyceps, shark's fins, red ginseng and deer antlers.
By the way, that turbot fish was also packed up and taken away by Xu Dong.
For the sake of his wife and unborn child, Section Chief Li is definitely spending a lot of money this time.
…
When I got home, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
Xu's mother and Xu's father were too old to stay up late and had already gone to bed. Only Yang Lina was still waiting for her husband in the living room.
Hearing the sound of the car, Yang Lina hurried to the garage and complained:
"Why so late?"
"I chatted with the old leader for a few more words, but accidentally ended up overdoing it," Xu Dong apologized.
"You didn't find a driver? Why were you so good this time and didn't drink?"
Xu Dong opened the trunk of the car and took things out while explaining: "The old leader is going to be a father, so he can't drink even if he wants to!"
"That Section Chief Li who cares about you?" Yang Lina's eyes widened.
Xu Dong nodded: "Yes, actually his wife is not very old, she is only in her thirties."
"snort……"
"Okay, come and help me get my things. I got a lot of good things this time."
Yang Lina glanced at the trunk and asked in surprise: "Where did these things come from?"
Xu Dong took the opportunity to explain Section Chief Li's commission.
"You really dare to agree to anything. Your section chief's wife can't touch anything dirty. Isn't it that easy to solve?"
Yang Lina was speechless.
"I thought about it on the way back, you don't have to worry." Xu Dong assured with a smile.
"Look how cool you are." Yang Lina couldn't help but rolled her eyes.
Xu Dong handed the bag containing turbot to his wife: "Hurry up and put this fish in the refrigerator."
"Why are there still fish?"
"The leader's wife can't afford it, so she can only benefit our family." Xu Dong said proudly.
"It's really yours..." Yang Lina couldn't help but laugh or cry.
At noon the next day, Xu's mother braised turbot and the whole family had a delicious meal.
During the vacation, Xu Dong was not idle either.
I made a few trips to Panjiayuan and sold all the food and drinks at home that were about to expire, and got back half a truckload of dried seafood.
In the past two months, seafood has been hard to come by in the market. It is often hard to come by, so I just take the opportunity to stock up on a batch of goods.
On the evening of the third day, Xu Dong brought carefully prepared nutritional supplements and came to Chief Li's house again at the agreed time.
Because there were so many things, the two of them went back and forth three times before moving everything up.
Looking at the cardboard boxes on the table, Xu Dong said:
"I don't know which ones my aunt likes, so I made some of each to try first. If it really works, I'll try to make more later."
"Xiao Xu, you are still thoughtful." Section Chief Li praised.
Aunt Li casually opened the cardboard box in front of her and said in surprise: "Why are there still watermelons at this time?"
"Grown in a greenhouse." Xu Dong said vaguely.
"Is it okay for pregnant women to eat watermelon?" Section Chief Li was a little worried.
Xu Dong quickly comforted him: "It's no problem. I've asked my wife. Pregnant women can eat watermelon, but it's best not to chill it or eat too much at one time."
"It's good if you can eat it." Aunt Li said happily.
Next, Xu Dong opened all the cartons and introduced them one by one:
"This is honey. I've had it checked by someone. It's definitely real honey. When my aunt wants to vomit, she can try honey water to see if it has any effect."
Section Chief Li couldn't help but nodded. Honey is a good thing. Xiao Xu seemed to have really put his heart into it.
"This is donkey-hide gelatin date. It can replenish energy, replenish qi and blood, and increase appetite. It should also be eaten in moderation."
Aunt Li couldn't wait to take a bite and fell in love with it immediately.
"This box of tomatoes has just been picked from the greenhouse. They are the freshest. Auntie must like the sweet and sour taste."
"This carton contains eggs. Eggs are the most nourishing. You don't have to worry about over-nutrition."
Aunt Li couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Xu, you know so much!"
"My family has many children, and they were all forced to come out." Xu Dong explained with a smile.
"Tell Aunt, how many children do you have at home?" Aunt Li became interested.
Section Chief Li envied: "He has five children in his family, a pair of twin daughters, and triplets, all of whom are sons."
These were all discussed during the chat the day before yesterday.
"Xiao Xu, I don't know what to say about how lucky you two are." Aunt Li said with appreciation.
Xu Dong smiled and continued to introduce:
"This box is full of small snacks. Auntie can use it to fill her stomach when she has no appetite."
"This box is made by my wife herself. I don't know if it suits my aunt's taste."
The chicken cake was added by Yang Lina on her own initiative. Sometimes things made by one's own hands can often touch people's hearts more. Yang Lina saw this clearly.
