Chapter 398 White Sugar Surprise

After some polite remarks, Xu Dong pointed to the bag on the table and explained:

"Sister-in-law Bi, there are ten kilograms of sugar here, costing three thousand yuan per kilogram. I wonder if your family needs it?"

Sister-in-law Bi looked shocked and said incoherently:

"Ah... you are... that shrimp..."

Xu Dong nodded: "Yes, we purchased the previous shrimps through special channels. Although Lao Bi is no longer here, his quota is still there and he still has the right to purchase."

"Thank you, thank you so much."

Sister-in-law Bi rubbed her sore eyes. She didn't expect that after her husband died, they would still be able to benefit from it.

"You're welcome, Lao Bi deserves this."

Sister-in-law Bi nodded: "You two, please wait a moment, I'll go get the money right now."

In the current environment, many families have saved an emergency fund. No one knows whether a solar flare will happen again.

Even if there are no solar flares, there may be other conflicts and wars.

Xu Dong waved to the three children.

"Hello, uncle!"

"Would you like some candy?"

"think!"

Bi Xiaodi, who was only seven and a half years old, replied loudly.

Xu Dong smiled, touched the other party's little head, and ordered to the oldest sister:

"Go to the kitchen and get three glasses of water."

In less than a minute, three glasses of water were brought out.

Xu Dong took out a small bag of sugar from his pocket and poured some into the water glass in turn. This bag of sugar was prepared to prevent the bag from being damaged or leaking.

After all, sugar is not cheap, and anything less is a big loss.

"Thank you uncle."

"White sugar melts slowly, stir it with chopsticks before drinking." Xu Dong warned.

The children ran into the kitchen with excitement on their faces.

Director Li suddenly became interested and tapped his cup with his fingers. The meaning was very obvious.

Xu Dong couldn't help but joked: "You always want it too?"

"Can't I, old man, want to taste some sweetness?"

"Okay, why not!"

Xu Dong smiled and fulfilled Director Li's wish.

Director Li picked up the cup, shook it, drank more than half of it in one breath, and then couldn't help but sigh:

"I didn't know until today that sugar water tastes so good. Now I can drink it even if a bucket of water is placed in front of me."

"What if I can't drink it?"

Xu Dong argued.

"If you can't drink it, I'll drink it slowly!"

"You are so old, why are you still cheating?" Xu Dong teased.

Just as Director Li was about to refute, Mrs. Bi came out with three bundles of red notes.

"Director Li, Section Chief Xu, you count."

Director Li quickly waved his hand, pointed at Xu Dong and explained: "Give the money directly to Xiao Xu. He got the sugar and has nothing to do with me."

"Without Uncle Li, I wouldn't be able to find this place."

"You two are great benefactors to our family."

Xu Dong shook his head: "You are serious."

Next, at his insistence, Mrs. Bi borrowed an electronic scale from next door and weighed the sugar, and found that there was an extra two taels.

She refused the extra 600 yuan offered by Sister Bi.

After staying for less than ten minutes, Xu Dong and Director Li left. The three children were full of reluctance to leave Xu Dong, their new uncle.

It was around eight o'clock in the evening.

Xu Dongcai sent Director Li to the gate of the community.

The two worked hard for most of the day, even having lunch and dinner in the car. Their hard work paid off, and they finally visited everyone's houses before the curfew.

"Uncle Li, wait..."

Director Li turned around and said, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Xu Dong picked up a bag of sugar and handed it over.

This bag of sugar was not sold, not because they didn't want it, nor because they couldn't afford it, but because the family moved away, and because they couldn't find their contact number, they had no choice but to let it go.

"Uncle Li, if you don't accept the cigarettes, you won't accept this bag of sugar, right?"

Director Li "snatched" the bag and said, "Huh, no fool would want such a good thing. I guess you have a conscience."

"I always have a conscience, okay!"

"Old man, I'm tired. I'm too lazy to argue with you. The money... I'll transfer it to you via WeChat later. It's almost curfew time, so you should go back quickly!"

Director Li waved his hand.

Xu Dong responded with an "OK" gesture.

…

On the way home, Director Li felt as if he had won a five million lottery ticket, and he was feeling dizzy.

"Hey, Lao Li, where have you been today? Why haven't you come back until now?"

This is a public rental housing complex, and the residents here are all civil servants who moved here last year. Many of them are old leaders and colleagues who have been here for decades, and they are very familiar with each other.

Director Li subconsciously blocked the bag.

This action made Old Wu immediately interested:

"Looking at how nervous you are, there can't be any prohibited items in the bag, right?"

Director Li quickly shook his head: "How is that possible? Am I that kind of person?"

"Really? You'll know after you open it and take a look."

"I won't talk nonsense to you. I have something to do today, so I'll go back first."

Director Li passed directly over the other party and left quickly at a trot.

"Wait, what are you in a hurry for?"

Lao Wu shouted from behind.

Director Li was unmoved and instead sped up, which made Lao Wu even more certain that there must be something extraordinary in the bag.

When Director Li returned home, he took a deep breath. He almost revealed his secret just now.

Old Wu is a big mouth. If this matter is discovered by his old friends, he will at least give away half of the sugar for the sake of their past friendship.

It's not that he is stingy, but there are several children in his family. For the healthy growth of the next generation, he can only be selfish for once.

"Dad, are you back?"

The speaker is Director Li's daughter-in-law Feng Yunli.

Director Li's wife died of illness last year, and he can't cook, so now he can only move to his eldest son's place.

"Well, where are Dahu and Puff?"

"Watching TV in the bedroom, Dad, what have you been doing? Why are you sweating so much?"

Feng Yunli took a towel for her father-in-law.

"It's okay, I came back too quickly."

Director Li took the towel and put the bag on the coffee table.

"Dad, what's in the bag?" Feng Yunli asked curiously.

"Sugar." Director Li replied.

"The sugar is back? Didn't you say you can get it tomorrow?" Feng Yunli said in surprise.

The whole family knew about the sugar from the beginning. In order to distribute the sugar, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law came here twice.

Finally, under the mediation of my father-in-law, they finally reached a consensus. Each family got three kilograms, and the last kilogram was left for my father-in-law.

Director Li waved his hand and explained with a grin:

"These ten kilograms of sugar are extra. There will be ten kilograms tomorrow. Dad is lucky this time and got a total of twenty kilograms."

"Dad...what's going on?"

Feng Yunli was so excited that her face turned red.

Director Li had to tell her what happened during the day.

"This Section Chief Xu is really generous. Why doesn't he keep it for himself?" Feng Yunli asked in confusion.

"Xiao Xu's family runs a big company. They are not short of money, and they have a wide range of connections. I guess they are not short of these things. This is a truly capable person!"
