The next morning, in a teahouse near Jingzhiyuan, Xu Bin and his family of three, together with Xu Ma, met Pan Jun's family as promised.

After some introduction, both sides sat down around the table, Tan Aifang ordered a pot of chrysanthemum tea and ordered an empty plate.

Xu Jingyi took out a pack of snacks from her handbag and put them on the plate.

Xu Ma pointed to the snack and introduced: "The cookies were made by Jingyi's aunt. She said it was a macaron. As far as I can see, isn't this just a sandwich biscuit?"

"Don't say it's really similar!" Pan's mother echoed.

"Yingying, don't you like sweets? Try it!"

Xu Jingyi said with a smile.

In the past week, because she worked at the same newspaper, she and her "future sister-in-law" quickly got closer and even invited each other home for a few lunches.

"Okay, thank you sister-in-law!"

Pan Ying couldn't wait to get two macarons.

Xu Jingyi blushed and quickly hit her boyfriend with her small fist.

Seeing the interaction between the young couple, everyone laughed kindly.

“It’s really delicious, so sweet!”

Pan Ying praised...

"If you eat more delicious food, you can try it too, Yingying's parents." Xu Ma smiled happily.

Pan's mother and Pan's father each took a piece of snack and tasted it carefully. Not to mention that the taste was really good, especially the sweetness, which was so sweet that it was so sweet that it was inside.

Although the Pan family has a good living conditions, they can only eat a full meal. Luxury goods like macarons are a rare enjoyment for them.

Xu Jingyi also helped her boyfriend get a piece.

"Grandma Jingyi, you can eat it too!"

Pan's mother pushed the plate in front of Xu Ma.

Xu Ma shook her head: "I am old and have high blood lipids. I can't eat such sweet things. You can eat them!"

"Then you really need to pay attention."

There was not much snack in a plate of snacks, and Pan Ying didn't know what kind of politeness meant, so the plate soon came to an end.

Pan's mother wiped her mouth, feeling a little embarrassed:

"Grandma Jingyi, I made you laugh. I haven't eaten sweets for a long time and didn't control my mouth for a while!"

Xu Ma smiled and waved her hand: "I'm happy only if you like to eat!"

One hour later, the talks ended.

The two sides just had a simple chat and didn't talk about in-depth topics. After all, the two children have only known each other for half a month, so it's too early to talk about engagement.

"Pan Jun, you drive to see Grandma Jingyi off."

Father Pan ordered.

"Yes, dad!"

Xu Ma refused: "No, let's just take a taxi back."

"Grandma Jingyi, anyway, Pan Jun has time, so let him see you off. It won't take much time." Pan's mother immediately persuaded.

Xu Jingyi held grandma's arm and also helped to persuade her.

Xu Ma had no choice but to nod: "Okay, Xiao Pan, please trouble you."

"Grandma, no trouble!"

Pan Jun first sent his girlfriend's family back to the courtyard, and then returned to pick up his parents and younger sister.

In the car, Pan's mother couldn't help but sigh:

"Look at the life of others, it's much better than ours. I heard Yingying say how good their food is, but I thought it was just a swollen face and fat man. Now I realize it's not at all."

"Mom, how did you see it?"

Pan Ying said curiously.

"The eyes can't deceive people. Have you noticed it? Jingyi's grandmother never looked at the snacks from beginning to end. She really didn't take it seriously."

Pan's mother explained.

Pan Ying licked her lips: "The macaron is really delicious, I don't know if there is still a chance to eat it."

"I just know how to eat, your brother's business, you should do your best. If Jingyi becomes your sister-in-law, will she still be able to eat this little bit of food?" Pan's mother said angrily.

"Mom, what you said makes sense!"

Pan Jun smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, we Jingyi have a good relationship, don't worry."

"What's the point? You'll be back to the army in another week. What should you do then?"

“We can usually call each other.”

Pan's mother shook her head: "Unless you get the certificate, your father and I will be truly relieved."

"Don't bring me with me, I have great confidence in my son."

Father Pan smiled.

...

On June 14, Pan Jun returned to the army.

On June 25, Kangaroo Kingdom sent a delegation to Daxia for friendly exchanges.

On June 28, the two sides signed a series of friendly trade agreements.

June 30, the last day of June.

Daxia successfully launched the first cabin of the International Space Station: the Giant Dragon Warehouse, thus opening the prelude to the reconstruction of the International Space Station.

As time comes to July, other places don’t know, but the residents of the capital area have been hit directly.

Compared with June, the share of food rations this month has dropped by one fifth, which has made it difficult for many people to accept.

According to this standard, not to mention eating enough, it would be considered a burning incense if you don’t starve to death.

Soon, a rumor appeared on the market.

In the security department's office, everyone is discussing this rumor in a heated manner.

Lao Fang slapped the table hard: "Zhuo, I knew that this mutual treaty was not reliable. Let's live our own life. Why do you care about other people's lives or death?"

Ren Li was a little embarrassed. He was the beneficiary of this decision. Whether others objected or not, he agreed with it.

"Lao Fang, I remember you agreed at the beginning, why did you say that you would return to the top of the world? Do you still have the face to say this?"

Sister Feng sneered.

"Well, I also believed the section chief's nonsense. He swore to me that there were not many people left in other member countries, so there was no big problem."

"Okay, Uncle Fang, I'm caught by me now. He's actually talking bad things about the boss behind his back."

Xiang Xin said with a wicked smile.

The amount of rations does not have much impact on Xiang Xin's family for the time being. Their family's food storage is enough for three or four years to deal with.

Lao Fang immediately begged for mercy and said, "Xiao Xiang, it is not a gentleman to report a small report. Uncle Fang is unrestrained, so just pretend that he didn't hear it?"

"Ha...I am a woman, not a gentleman!"

"Okay, Uncle Fang owes you a favor."

Lao Fang said helplessly.

"Okay, one word is certain."

Uncle Chen interrupted and said, "Don't interrupt you two. The section chief is not omnipotent. He doesn't know the specific situation abroad. It seems that the prediction was wrong."

"But what the section chief said makes sense. Over the years, there shouldn't be many talents left abroad. I don't know what went wrong this time."

Old Gu couldn't help but sigh.

Their family has not had much food storage. The mistake of Rehe caused their family to suffer heavy losses. Now when they think about it, they regret it.

"There has not been an earthquake in the past two months, and I have never heard of a production accident there. Apart from the A-Municipal Treaty, I really can't imagine any other changes."

Lao Fang sighed.

"I can't live this life!" Sister Feng said bitterly.

"I don't know how it will be next month! I heard that the food prices on the black market are about to rise madly. In the past, I could still find some food if I spent more money, but now there is no chance."

For a moment, the office looked bleak!

"I knew that the sugar I had not given away last time, so I should have kept it for emergency." Sister Feng regretted it.

"Hey, Lao Feng, why are you giving away someone?"

Lao Fang asked.
