My courtyard shelter

After the college entrance banquet, Xu Dong gave his elder sister a cheap deal on his car, and asked the couple to help look at the house to prevent the agent from messing around.

As for the intermediary, Xu Dong said:

If the buyer is willing to pay the full price, he can reduce the price by another 10% from the original price and even come with all the furniture and appliances.

This is a very big discount. Xu Dong's purpose is to sell the old house before the Chinese New Year and collect more funds.

August 20, just after six o'clock.

Xu Dong led a large family, including Xu's father and mother, to charter a minibus and went directly to Luyang South High-speed Railway Station.

As soon as they got off the car, Xu Ting came forward with her son and daughter. They made an appointment last night and would come to see her off this morning.

Before everyone had finished greeting, the eldest niece Xu Jingyi also arrived. There was a bit of traffic on the road and she had just gotten off the taxi.

Although Xu Ma was talking and laughing along the way, when the end came, she still couldn't hold back her tears. After all, she had lived in the city for most of her life and it was hard to let go of it.

Xu Ting handed over the tissue and comforted:

"Yanjing is not far from Luyang. It only takes three or four hours to get there by high-speed rail. It's very convenient to go back and forth. I'm afraid that you and my dad will get used to living in big capitals and not miss Shu."

Xu Ma's mood finally improved, and she laughed and scolded: "How can you use idioms like this and still be happy to miss Shu? When we arrived in Yanjing, your father and I didn't help take care of Dabao and the others. They really couldn't finish it in a lifetime. debt."

Dabao, Erbao and Xiaobao are the nicknames of the triplets. The big names were given by Xu’s father. They are called Xu Wanxia, ​​Xu Wanshang and Xu Wanzhou respectively. Not to mention they look quite similar.

"Mom, they say the youngest son, the eldest grandson, and the old lady's lifeblood are all taken care of, so what else do you have to complain about?" Xu Ting teased.

Xu Dong glanced at his eldest niece subconsciously. The elder sister's words could easily cause misunderstanding, so he quickly made up for it:

"Sister, I have been beaten by my mother since I was a child. Is this also called a partial son?"

"Hmph!" Xu Ma scolded: "Who told you not to study hard? You know how to play every day. If you had half the grades of our Jingyi, Mom would laugh out of her dreams."

These words made Xu Jingyi blush, and she quickly said humbly: "Mistress, it was much more difficult for me to get into college at that time than it is now. It's incomparable."

"Haha, Jingyi is still sensible. What she said makes so much sense." Xu Dong felt that the big red envelope was not in vain.

Looking at the shameless person, Xu Ma and Xu Ting cast contemptuous glances at the same time.

…

In this way, in Xu Dong's gag, Xu's mother unknowingly forgot the sadness of parting.

At 6:50, the train starts checking tickets.

No matter how much reluctance you have, it can only turn into instructions over and over again.

At 11:44, the train finally arrived at Yanjing South Station. Fortunately, the business class seats were spacious and comfortable, and everyone was in good spirits.

After leaving the station, Xu Dong found a restaurant nearby, ordered a few home-cooked dishes, and had a simple lunch.

After the meal, Xu Dong called three taxis to load all the luggage.

The road in Yanjing was even more congested than in Luyang, and it was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that everyone returned to the courtyard.

"Dad, Mom, our courtyard is in front of us."

"Well, it looks okay!" Father Xu said reservedly.

Xu's mother was more direct, "Dongzi is still capable. If it were up to your father, my mother would never be able to live in a place like this."

"Can luck be considered a skill?" Father Xu couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.

Xu Dong stepped forward and opened the door, opened his hands, and showed off to his daughters: "Look...this is the new home dad built for you. Do you like it here?"

"I like it!" Coco sisters replied in unison.

Xu Dong was greatly comforted by Lao Huai, rubbed the hair of the two sisters one by one, and encouraged: "Hurry up and choose a room, don't let your grandparents take the good room away."

Xu Ma immediately spat, handed the Dabao to Xu Dong, and then held the two sisters one by one:

"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. Grandma will take you to choose a room. Let's choose the most beautiful room, okay?"

The two Coco sisters were naturally very willing, and followed Ma Xu straight to the second floor with a smile.

Xu Dong led Xu's father and Yang Lina, and the three of them carried the triplets to the master bedroom on the first floor. There were three cribs placed side by side in the bedroom.

After putting the sleeping triplets into their cribs, the family took a brief tour of the new home and then started cleaning. After all, no one had lived in it for half a month.

By the time the cleaning was finished and the rooms were assigned, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon.

In the end, Xu's father and Xu's mother unexpectedly moved into the master bedroom on the first floor, and they helped take care of the triplets;

Coco and Lele chose a bedroom on the second floor facing the east. They had been used to living together since they were young, so they would still live in the same room for the time being. It would not be too late to separate when they grow up;

Xu Dong and Yang Lina moved into the master bedroom on the second floor, mainly because they were worried about the sisters. After all, they were still young and far from independent.

Xu Ma and Yang Lina cooked dinner together. The ingredients were bought from a nearby supermarket. Because it was the first meal of the new home, the preparation was extremely rich, with a total of twelve dishes cooked.

During the chat after dinner, Father Xu couldn't help but ask: "Third son, why did you build such a big water tank over there at the concierge?"

"Dad, how do you know it was me?" Xu Dong asked doubtfully.

During the afternoon visit, he just mentioned the water tank and said nothing else.

"The water tank is so new, and there is a certificate of conformity with the date of June 7. Who else could have done it if not you?" Xu's father explained.

Xu Dong wiped his chin and threw out the reason he had thought of long ago:

"Oh, I heard from the neighborhood committee that in order to welcome the Winter Olympics, our area will have to renovate the infrastructure. There will definitely be a water outage at that time, so getting a water tank is also a precaution!"

"So that's the case, then we really need to get one." Xu's father nodded.

"Of course, I also got a solar power generation. Look at the tiles on our roof, they are actually solar panels."

Xu's father was full of curiosity: "Then is the electricity we use at home generated by solar energy?"

"Uh, no, solar energy will be used when there is a power outage. This is just in case. We still use electricity from the grid."

"Why not? It can save some electricity bills!"

"Ah... Dad, our family doesn't need this little electricity bill. Besides, solar power generation is not very stable and it is very harmful to electrical appliances." Xu Dong talked nonsense.

In fact, the reason for not using solar energy is, first, to save the life of the battery;

Second, once it is powered, it will definitely not escape the damage caused by solar flares, so it is best to wait until the flares are over before putting it into use.

As they chatted, they finally talked about supermarkets, and Xu's father obviously had his own ideas.

"Old Third, when will your supermarket reopen?"

"I haven't decided yet, let's talk about it in a few months!" Xu Dong said vaguely.

The supermarket is just a tool man. Now that the task is completed, Xu Dong plans to sell it again next month.

"You have so many goods stored in the basement, why don't you hurry up? If the goods expire, you will lose a lot of money." Xu's father said in a tone of regret.

Xu Dong was speechless now, so he had to perfunctorily say: "Wait until I get my household registration done first, and then I will go to the supermarket."

"I'll go with you then!"

"No need? I can do it alone here."

"Anyway, I'm just sitting there..."
