Chapter 255: Overtime

Dinner time, Xu Dong ate with his lunch box in his hands. Maybe the dried fish was too fragrant, or maybe he was too tired, so he ate a hearty meal.

In the afternoon, several public security incidents occurred in the company's jurisdiction. In the darkness, some people's greed and desires broke out.

Just before dinner, he personally led a team to round up a thief who broke into the house. This thief not only stole, but also attempted to kill and silence him. The circumstances were particularly bad.

After dinner, Xu Dong was planning to take a nap.

As a result, Section Chief Li came back and called him into the office. Section Chief Li went to the city to attend a work meeting in the afternoon.

"Xiao Xu, you should live in the company dormitory directly for the next week. Don't go back for the time being." Section Chief Li said straight to the point.

Xu Dong was stunned: "Uncle Li, what happened?"

"The emergency meeting just held in the afternoon. The current public security situation is much more serious than expected. The higher-ups have issued a death order to reduce the crime rate by any means possible." Section Chief Li explained.

"Okay, I'll go back and get some clothes to change into later." Xu Dong said helplessly.

"Remember to bring two more thick clothes, you must go out to work at night." Section Chief Li reminded.

Xu Dong nodded: "Uncle Li, what about you, do you want to live in the dormitory?"

"What do you think? You can find a double dormitory later, and we can live together, which will be more convenient for work."

"I see, if there is nothing else, I'll go out."

Section Chief Li waved his hand.

After coming out, Xu Dong first confirmed the dormitory, and simply cleaned it, and then drove directly home.

"Dad, you came back so early today!" Dabao ran over with his younger brothers, and Niuniu was also there.

Xu Dong touched the scalp of the three brothers and asked casually: "Where is Mom?"

"Mom is growing vegetables." Dabao replied.

After sending the children away, Xu Dong went to the vegetable garden to find his wife.

Yang Lina was surprised and said, "Husband, don't you get off work at nine o'clock now? Why are you here so early today?"

"Don't mention it. I came back to get some luggage. I need to live in the company for the next week for work."

Yang Lina wiped her hands when she heard this and said, "I'll go pack your clothes now."

"Wait, don't forget the quilt." Although there are quilts in the company dormitory, I don't know how long it has been since they were washed, so they must not be used.

"Got it."

Xu Dong came to the basement alone, took two packs of cigarettes, and didn't need wine, because drinking would delay things.

In addition, he also took a few packs of small snacks such as beef jerky and candy, mainly to replenish energy and to facilitate staying up late.

Back on the ground, Xu's mother also learned from her daughter-in-law that her son had to work overtime, and she was busy in the kitchen at this time.

After packing the suitcase, Xu's mother finally came out of the kitchen, holding an electric rice cooker in her arms.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Xu Dong took the electric rice cooker, which was quite heavy.

Xu's mother explained: "I packed a pot of fish balls for you. If you are hungry at night, you can steam some in the rice cooker to fill your stomach."

"Isn't this too much?" Xu Dong smiled bitterly. It was only a week, and he could come back at other times.

"I asked you to bring it, so you should bring it. Why are you nagging!" Xu's mother said impatiently.

There was no other way. Xu Dong just carried the rice cooker into the car and started the car: "Mom, wife, I'm leaving. You should pay attention at night and remember to let Mark out."

"I know. Drive slowly on the road."

"Goodbye, Dad!" The triplets shouted one after another.

"Bye, Uncle Xu!" Niuniu whispered.

...

Back to the company again, Xu Dong ran back and forth three times before moving all the things into the dormitory.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Section Chief Li also came with his luggage. Xu Dong hurried over to help. Section Chief Li's luggage was much simpler, with only a large suitcase.

"Uncle Li, you didn't bring a blanket?"

"What blanket? I remember there was a blanket in the dormitory?" Chief Li asked in confusion.

"Well, there was a blanket, but it hadn't been exposed to the sun for who knows how long. It's not clean." Xu Dong reminded.

Chief Li waved his hand: "It's not as exaggerated as you said. When I was young, I covered dead people with blankets. Why would I be afraid of this?"

Xu Dong was completely convinced and had nothing to say.

After putting away the luggage, Chief Li pointed to the rice cooker on the table and teased: "Xiao Xu, you even brought the guy who ate?"

"My family forced me to put it in the car." Xu Dong opened the lid of the rice cooker, "Uncle Li, I steamed some fish balls. They are still hot. Do you want some?"

Uncle Li came over to take a look, and then picked up a fish ball with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Delicious, the fish balls are really chewy."

Xu Dong smiled and advised: "If you like it, eat more. I brought a lot this time."

"Then I won't be polite."

"What you said, do we still need to be polite?"

Section Chief Li laughed, and then devoured all the fish balls in the steamer in one breath, leaving no one.

"Huh, I haven't eaten so full for a long time." Section Chief Li touched his stomach and sighed.

Xu Dong hurriedly poured a cup of tea for him: "Uncle Li, drink some tea to help digestion."

"Yeah, the tea is good."

"The tea leaves were given by Uncle Cao, and I don't know what kind of tea it is."

"Old Cao doesn't have much else, but a lot of good tea." Section Chief Li explained.

Half an hour later, Xu Dong went out to inspect the north gate and the south gate. The curfew was about to start, so they could finally take a break.

The night was not as good as the day, and patrolling once an hour was enough.

Speaking of which, the night was much safer than the day. Even the most daring criminals would not dare to confront the military directly.

That was going into the toilet with a lantern, looking for death!

When they arrived at the north gate, Datou and others were packing up and preparing to go home. The company applied for a temporary pass for them, so they didn't have to worry about the curfew.

"Boss, you're here." Everyone stood up quickly.

Xu Dong waved his hand and asked everyone to relax. They were tired after patrolling for a day, so there was no need to do these nonsense things.

"Everyone has worked hard today. Remember to rest early when you go back. The section chief said that each of you will have a bonus of 1,000 yuan this month."

"Pa pa pa..."

"Boss, is there any next month?" Datou said expectantly.

Xu Dong nodded: "As long as the patrol is not cancelled, there will be one every month."

"Great, I really hope this fire can keep burning." Someone couldn't help but say.

"Okay." Xu Dong looked outside the door, "The people who are changing shifts have arrived, you should leave quickly, don't waste time."

"Thank you, boss."

"Goodbye, boss."

Some time ago, the labor service company got a van from somewhere, which made it much more convenient for everyone to go to and from get off work.

Xu Dong stopped Datou and Xiaoxiao: "You two come with me, there is no car at night, I will drive you back!"
