My courtyard shelter
Chapter 10: Entrance Exam Banquet
After coaxing the triplets, Xu Ma could no longer sit still. She packed two sets of clothes and asked Xu Dong to send her back to the old house.
If you don't return home when you are rich, it's like walking in the night in brocade clothes!
Xu Ma is a person who can't hide her thoughts. She had already boasted in front of her eldest daughter-in-law and revealed her idea of moving out many times.
She also exaggerated the fact that Xu Dong wanted to move to a bigger house and even planned to take the old couple to enjoy the good life.
The implication was to accuse Xu Bin and his wife of being incompetent and unfilial.
This of course angered the eldest daughter-in-law Tan Aifang, so she took the opportunity to mock her mother-in-law:
"It's been a month, when are you going to move out?"
"Oh, you haven't bought a big house yet, are you short of money?"
"You are incompetent, what are you talking about..."
Such "sour words and bad words" made Xu Ma very angry, causing her frequency of returning to the old house to drop sharply recently.
Now the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is bright, and it is a full moon.
The first thing that Xu's mother thought of was to go back and share the good news with Xu's father, and then slap someone in the face.
Xu Dong certainly would not refuse. Everyone has a bad taste. When he thought of the way the eldest and his wife were defeated, he could not help but feel happy.
The old house was soon reached. Xu Dong sent his mother to the gate and turned around and left.
Since he had a falling out with the eldest, he never went back again, so as not to hurt people by seeing the "house", especially since the house price was rising every moment.
Xu's mother opened the door with the key and found that there was no one at home, which made her happy for nothing.
She took out her mobile phone and skillfully clicked on her husband's profile picture. Xu's father's voice soon came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello?"
"Old man, where are you? Why aren't you at home?" Without waiting for Xu's father to answer, Xu's mother continued, "Forget it, I won't ask anymore. Go home quickly. I have something important to tell you."
Just as Xu's father was about to answer, his daughter snatched the phone away. Xu Ting rushed to answer, "Mom, Dad is here with me. Come over too. Let's have dinner together tonight."
"Why would your dad go to your place for no reason?" Xu's mother was surprised.
Xu's father is not the kind of person who likes to "run around". Besides, it's not a festival, which is a bit strange.
"I brought Dad here... Didn't Lingling get into No. 1 Middle School? Yesterday, Jingyi also received the admission notice of Wanzhou University...
I thought we could just hold a graduation banquet together, so I asked Dad to come over to discuss it." Xu Ting explained.
Lingling is Xu Ting's eldest daughter. Her full name is Ma Lingling. She also has a younger brother in elementary school named Ma Xu.
"Okay, I'll come right over." Xu's mother agreed. Both grandchildren are very successful, and with the surprise from Xu Dong, they should really celebrate.
This should be considered a triple happiness!
The daughter's house is not too far from the old house. The son-in-law is from another place. When he bought the house, he specially chose a nearby community for the convenience of travel.
In less than an hour, Xu's mother sat in the living room of her son-in-law's house.
"Mom, is Nana okay?" Xu Ting asked with concern.
"Very well, your brother is back from a business trip, and he just happened to be free, so I wanted to come back to see your dad."
Xu's father took the opportunity to ask: "You said on the phone just now that you had something to tell me, what is it?"
Xu Ting was also very curious.
Hearing this, Xu's mother raised her mouth and suddenly became very happy:
"Haha, it's a good thing, Dongzi has bought a house in Yanjing, and when the time comes, we will move there together, and we will no longer have to suffer the anger of the old family."
Xu Ting was shocked, she knew the economic conditions of her younger brother's family very well.
Dongzi borrowed 100,000 yuan from her to buy a house. How come he suddenly had the money to buy a house in Yanjing?
The house prices in the capital are so high. Did he win the lottery?
"Mom, did Dongzi win the lottery?"
Xu's mother shook her head and said, "What lottery? Lottery is a lie. Your brother bought jade and got lucky."
Xu Ting felt that jade was even less reliable than lottery. She questioned, "Is it true or not? Don't let people fool you."
Xu's father was also worried.
"Really, I read the contract for selling jade. It doesn't look fake. And Dongzi even got the real estate certificate back. His name is indeed on it."
Xu Ting was relieved a little bit, and Xu's father asked about the house directly.
"It's a quadrangle with a yard. It covers an area of 370 square meters. It's right next to the third ring road. It's worth 100 million!" Xu's mother boasted.
"What... 100 million?"
Xu Ting was completely shocked. She originally thought that her brother was lucky and would make at most a million yuan. She didn't expect that he would make so much.
Dad Xu's face flushed, and he shuddered. He asked in a trembling voice: "Are you sure?"
"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false? Lina was there at the time, if you don't believe me, call her."
"Dongzi has made a fortune now!"
Xu Ting felt a little unreal, she didn't expect her younger brother to become a billionaire in the blink of an eye.
Mother Xu glanced at her daughter and reminded her: "Your brother has made a fortune, and you will also benefit from it. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, at least there will be someone who can help you."
"Your mother is right, brothers and sisters should help each other, not like enemies." Father Xu's words were double-edged.
Xu Ting didn't say anything. Of course, she heard the meaning of Father Xu's words, which was nothing more than a dirty deal between the eldest brother and the younger brother.
She couldn't control this matter, and she didn't want to control it, so as not to please both sides.
In the end, both Mother Xu and Father Xu stayed at their daughter's house for dinner.
Before leaving, everyone agreed to hold a graduation banquet on the weekend, and finally agreed to hold it at the nearby Tongqing Building.
…
The weekend came in a blink of an eye, and Xu Dong rarely took his whole family out to attend the graduation banquets of his eldest niece and nephew.
Well, it also has to count his own housewarming banquet.
But in this way, every family will receive red envelopes, and no one will suffer.
I remember that the graduation banquet was also held here in my previous life, but it was a pity that Xu Dong couldn't bring himself to do it, and finally asked Xu Ma to bring two red envelopes.
In this life, people are in high spirits when they are happy, so Xu Dong naturally has no reason not to participate. Besides, he has also let it go, and the conflicts between the elders should not be extended to the children.
Entering the box, the dining table is almost full. In addition to the people of the old Xu family, there are also Xu Jingyi's uncle and aunt.
The aunt came specially from Ezhou, but the uncle is not far away, living in Yicheng City in this state.
As for Xu Ting, since her husband is from Dianzhou, most of her relatives are in Dianzhou, and she is only going to high school, she simply did not invite any of them.
The banquet was a bit depressing. Although Xu Ting and her husband kept livening up the atmosphere, Xu Dong and the eldest brother did not say a word from beginning to end.
Xu Bin also has his own temper. Although he has only one daughter, his daughter is very hardworking and was admitted to the best university in Wanzhou.
He does not need to bow his head and flatter some nouveau riche. Isn't it just "picking up" a courtyard house? Maybe the savings are not as much as his own family.
As for Xu Dong, as the "reasonable" party, he will not take the initiative to bow his head.
At the banquet, Xu Dong said the moving date was August 22, and welcomed everyone to visit Yanjing when they are free.
Xu Ting said that she would definitely go there during the Spring Festival. Xu Bin and his wife did not say anything, but Xu Jingyi said that she would visit her grandparents during the winter vacation.
At the end of the banquet, Xu Dong gave his niece and nephew a big red envelope of 18,888 yuan each, and the red envelopes were bulging.
His family also received four red envelopes, 1,800 yuan from his elder sister and eldest brother, and 800 yuan from Jingyi's uncle and aunt, which should have been discussed in advance.
Xu Dong was not a person who liked to take advantage of small things, so that night he asked Xu's mother to give Jingyi's uncle and aunt a return gift worth more than 1,000 yuan each.
