My Courtyard Refuge

Playing Mahjong

As soon as the courtyard was powered on, guests came to the house. It was none other than Wang Xiujuan’s family.

“Old Wang, why are you here?” Mother Xu went out to greet her.

She sincerely welcomed Wang Xiujuan’s arrival. After all, it was a great favor for her to help the third child solve his work problems.

While helping the eldest grandson untie the scarf wrapped around his face, Wang Xiujuan explained:

“Hey, isn’t this a power outage? It’s too hot at home, so I can’t stay here. I thought your house must have electricity, so I decided to come over and cool off together.”

“Ha, Lao Wang, you came just in time. I’m worried that I have nothing to do in the afternoon. Let’s play mahjong. You, me, plus Zheng Yan and Nana, exactly four people.” Mama Xu suggested with a smile .

Wang Xiujuan’s eyes lit up, she nodded quickly and said, “That’s a good idea, what to do with the children, your family has triplets, no one is watching.”

“It’s okay.” Mama Xu waved her hand, “My third child just happens to be at home, so let him take care of the children today. If not, there are Keke and Lele, who can help take care of them too. Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

“Okay, then when shall we start?”

“What are you waiting for, just now, you wait, I’ll get the mahjong box.”

As soon as Xu’s mother sent Xiaobao to her daughter-in-law, she hurried upstairs. The mahjong was bought during the Chinese New Year. At that time, the daughter and son-in-law were all there, and the family played mahjong several times.

“Aunt Wang, Sister Zheng, let’s go inside, it’s hot outside. “Yang Lina reminded.

“Okay!” Wang Xiujuan nodded, and asked as she walked, “When did your Xu Dong come back?”

“Their company has a holiday after ten o’clock in the morning. There is a traffic jam on the road, and they don’t get home until after one o’clock.”

After Yang Lina finished speaking, she put Xiaobao on the ground, and then poured water for the guests to make tea.

Zheng Yan also put her little daughter on the ground, let her play with Xiaobao, and then said with emotion:

“It’s still easy for your old Xu to work. Our old Zhang is on duty at night, not to mention holidays. He probably won’t be home for several days.”

Yang Lina smiled wryly and said, “How can this be compared? If my old Xu had half the self-motivation of District Chief Zhang, he wouldn’t just be working as a security guard now.”

Zheng Yan’s husband, Zhang Kai, officially assumed the post of deputy head of the district at the beginning of the month, marking a crucial step in his career.

Mama Xu even ran over to give Wang Xiujuan a generous gift.

“You two, stop complaining. Listen to me, every family has their own hard-to-read scriptures. Don’t always think about envying others, just live your own life well.” Wang Xiujuan couldn’t help persuading her.

In her opinion, her son and Xiao Xu, one is self-motivated and the other takes care of the family. It is impossible to say who is good and who is bad, but as husbands, both of them are undoubtedly qualified.

“What are you talking about, all of you are frowning?” Mama Xu just came over, and she couldn’t help feeling very surprised seeing the tense atmosphere at the scene.

Wang Xiujuan waved her hand: “It’s nothing, I enlightened them a few words, it’s not easy to be a wife and a mother at the same time.”

“What’s so difficult? Isn’t that how we all came here! Okay, Nana, go and clean up the table, and Zheng Yan, go and move some chairs from the room.”

“understood.”

“it is good.”

Five minutes later, the tablecloth was laid out, the fruit bowl was filled with snacks, and the poker game officially began.

Xu Dong, the “every lady”, finally showed his face. After exchanging pleasantries with Aunt Wang, he led Xiaobao and two young guests upstairs together.

“Don’t let Dabao and the others eat too many snacks, they won’t be able to digest them at night.” Yang Lina did not forget to ask.

“Understood, I have a measure.”

Xu Dong is no stranger to raising children, and he has his own tips.

“Coco, Lele, you two take your brother to play games, don’t bully him, you know?”

Xu Dong brought Aunt Wang’s precious grandson into the twins’ room. The three of them were about the same age, so they could just play together.

“Understood, Dad, hurry up and unlock the tablet.” Lele couldn’t wait any longer.

Xu Dong raised his face and reminded again: “One person can only play for one hour. You three come in turns. If anyone exceeds the time, he will not be able to play next time.”

“Understood, Dad!”

“I see, Uncle!”

Zhang Yong has been to the courtyard house several times, and he has a good impression of the courtyard house. Not only does his uncle’s house have endless snacks, but he can also watch TV and play games casually.

Xu Dong touched the tops of the three little guys one by one, then unlocked the tablet, and soon the dynamic game music came to mind in the room.

Xu Dong asked them to turn down the music volume before leaving the room and closing the door behind him.

As for the four little dolls, Xu Dong carried them all to the big bed in the master bedroom, and then installed temporary guardrails on the edge of the bed to let them sleep inside.

Now it’s also time for a nap, and the little dolls fell asleep after a little coaxing.

Xu Dong was sitting next to him, using his mobile phone to read online novels. Fortunately, all the novels he read were cached complete novels, so it would not be affected even if there was no internet.

Looking back downstairs, it was Wang Xiujuan’s turn to play a card, “Dongfeng…Old Zhang, where is your old Xu, why didn’t you see anyone?”

“Hey, Santiao… I went to the store, and said that I was worried about the store, because I was afraid that the employees would be lazy.” Xu Ma replied.

“How is the business in the store?” Wang Xiujuan asked curiously.

Xu Ma smiled and said modestly: “It’s not bad, I can earn some food money!”

“90,000… More than that, last time I passed by your store, there were seven or eight employees in it, how could it be possible to earn money for ordering food?” Wang Xiujuan retorted.

===Section 35===

“Eight things… What’s the use of having more employees? You have to pay tens of thousands of wages every month. It’s not as good as opening a convenience store before!”

Zheng Yan interjected: “Aunt Zhang, is your convenience store still planning to open?”

“It’s not open, and now I can’t find the source of goods if I want to open it. Now there is a shortage of everything in the market. Look at how many small supermarkets have been closed on our street.” Xu Ma sighed.

Wang Xiujuan echoed:

“That’s true! By the way, when will your greenhouse be built? My strawberry seeds are all ready. The new variety tastes good!”

“One… Let’s see at the end of the month. My old man asked. The glass is out of stock now, so we have to wait for a while.” Xu Ma replied.

Speaking of the vegetable garden, Yang Lina immediately became interested, “Aunt Wang, the lettuce in the yard is almost done, you can take some back to taste later.”

“Okay, I am worried that there is no place to go at night.I’m shopping for vegetables, then I won’t be here…”

Before Wang Xiujuan finished speaking, Mama Xu suddenly said excitedly: “Ha, Wutong is finally here…I’m touching myself!”

“Old Zhang, you are so lucky that you can get five cards in a single hang. I draw two more cards than you. It’s really annoying.” Wang Xiujuan continued.

“Haha…Today must be my lucky day!” Mother Xu said proudly.
