My courtyard shelter
Chapter 193 Census
Before dinner was finished, the twins started clamoring to see the gifts. read
Xu Dong hurriedly took the last bite of rice and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"Okay, stop shaking. Dad is going to get gifts for you two." After that, he led the sisters into the bedroom.
Opening his backpack, Xu Dong carefully took out three conchs, one large, two small, and three small.
"Dang-dang-dang-dang..."
"Wow, Dad, where did you get this big conch? It's so beautiful." Lele's eyes lit up.
"This is a gift from dad to you two, do you like it?"
"Yeah, I like it so much."
Lele hugged the conch and couldn't put it down at the first sight.
Coco puffed her lips and said coquettishly: "Dad, I want a conch too."
"This conch is shared by the two of you. It will be placed in the room from now on. I will ask grandpa to make a wooden display for you later.
As for these two little conchs, you two happen to have one each. They are yours and you can give them away if you want. "
Coco nodded quickly.
Lele glanced at her father, and finally let her sister hold the big conch, then took the small conch and started playing with it.
Xu Dong smiled happily. His little daughter had grown up and finally started to become sensible.
"Okay, daddy still has a gift."
Lele instantly became excited: "Dad, what kind of gift is it?"
"You'll find out later."
Carrying the box, the father and daughter put on thick coats and came to the balcony.
It took more than ten minutes to finally assemble the astronomical telescope. Xu Dong adjusted it and finally pointed the lens at the moon.
"This is an astronomical telescope. You can see the moon and stars. Which one of you will come first?"
"I……"
"Let my sister see it first!"
Lele approached the eyepiece eagerly.
Since the large flare, the Earth's atmosphere has been weakened. At this time, the moon appears particularly clear when viewed through an astronomical telescope.
"Dad, it turns out that the moon looks like this and is not beautiful at all."
"The moon looks like this, didn't your teacher teach you?" Xu Dong took the opportunity to explain.
"The teacher taught me, but I don't believe it at all."
"Do you believe it now?"
"I believe it." Lele nodded solemnly.
Next it was Coco's turn.
Keke took it more seriously than his sister and asked his father a lot of questions. Xu Dong answered them one by one. If he didn't understand something, he immediately searched the Internet for answers.
All in all, it was a successful family practice.
…
Early the next morning, around nine o'clock, Xu's mother was playing in the yard with her grandchildren. The triplets were growing faster and faster, and now they could run all over the yard.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Xu's mother quickly called her daughter-in-law and asked her to take the children into the house. She put on a mask and opened the door.
Speaking of which, I haven't been to my front door for a long time.
There were three strangers standing outside the door, two men and one woman.
"You are?"
"Hello, aunt, we are from the Municipal Bureau of Statistics. This is our work ID. We came here today to verify the population situation of your family." The female staff member introduced herself.
Xu Ma nodded and said: "This is a census, wasn't it just done two years ago?"
"Auntie, our census is required by the city. Please cooperate with us."
"Okay! But now that the epidemic is serious and there are three little kids at home, I won't invite you in. Can we register at the door?" Xu's mother requested.
"Yes, Auntie." The female staff member replied with a smile. They had encountered similar situations many times.
"Then I'll go back and get the household registration book. Please wait for me."
Five minutes later, Xu's mother trotted out.
The female staff member took the household registration book and said in surprise: "Auntie, your household registration is separate?"
"Yes, my third child has many children. My wife and I come here to help take care of the children. We have our own house on the East Fifth Ring Road."
Xu Ma explained that Lao San taught her to say these words, saying that she could cope with the property tax.
The female staff returned the household registration books of Xu's father and Xu's mother. This was not their jurisdiction.
Immediately afterwards, the other party opened the household registration book of Xu Dong's family, looked at it, and then smiled:
"No wonder, there are actually five children, and the two of them really can't take care of them."
"Oh, they are all a bunch of little debt collectors." Xu Ma said modestly.
The staff began to register household registration information. After the registration was completed, there was a questionnaire.
"Excuse me, how many people in your son's family have formal jobs?"
"It's just my son. With so many children at home, how can his wife leave?" Xu's mother answered truthfully.
The female staff member nodded, "Is this house your son's property?"
"Yes."
"Are there any other properties besides this?"
"No more, just this place."
At this point, Xu Ma was 100% sure that the property tax would be collected next, and at the same time she couldn't help but feel happy.
"Is there anyone living in your son's home who is from out of state or has returned from abroad?"
"No."
"Is your son's family having difficulty in life?"
"Well, it's okay. My son works at Yanjing Electric Power Company and his salary is pretty good." He lives in a courtyard house, and no one believes his lies.
"Does your son's family have enough food? Are there any cases of hunger?"
Mother Xu continued to shake her head: "We can barely survive. My son's family has many children and they have preferential food rations, so we can still support it for the time being."
"Are your son's family satisfied with the current security environment?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied!" Mother Xu nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, I've finished asking questions. Thank you for your cooperation!"
After sending the census personnel away, Mother Xu immediately called Yang Lina.
"Mom, what happened outside?" Yang Lina said anxiously.
"It's okay. The city is here to do the census. You should take Dabao and the other three to live on the second floor. I have to be isolated for a day or two." Mother Xu immediately became cautious.
"What about food?"
"I'll make it and send it to you. It will only delay one or two days. It doesn't matter. You keep a close eye on Dabao and the others."
If it weren't for the fear that her daughter-in-law couldn't take care of her three grandchildren alone, Mother Xu would have planned to go directly to Sanhe Home.
After telling her daughter-in-law, Mother Xu called her third son again and told him what had just happened.
Xu Dong immediately guessed the city's plan. There were two purposes. One was to take the opportunity to check illegal immigrants, and the other was to prepare for housing reform.
"Mom, don't worry. This has nothing to do with our family."
"I guess so. We have two household registration books and two houses. We should not have to pay taxes." Xu's mother said happily.
Xu Dong said proudly: "Mom, I told you a long time ago that you can listen to me."
"Well, Mom will listen to you in the future!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Dong was suddenly called into the office by Section Chief Li before he put his phone in his pocket.
