My courtyard shelter

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is almost a torment for Gao Yuemei. Their family will never be reunited.

In addition, there has been no news from Zhang Ming, who is far away in the Philippines, for a while, which adds to the melancholy.

Although I don’t want to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, I still have to prepare dinner.

A small pot of rice porridge, a plate of fried tofu, and a plate of shredded potatoes.

This was the dinner that day for Gao Yue Mei and his grandson.

"Sister Gao, are you at home?" The landlord, Teacher Xing, suddenly shouted outside the door.

"Here we are!" Gao Yuemei opened the door with her grandson in her arms.

Teacher Xing immediately stepped forward and invited: "Sister Gao, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. My son is back. Do you want to come over for a meal?"

The reason why Teacher Xing is so enthusiastic is simply that when Gao Yuemei replaced the emperor goose meat before, she evened out a pound and gave it to her family. Her two grandsons are still young and they need nutrition.

Twenty kilograms of rice is a lot, but as an old hutong person, I still have some financial resources, which is much better than that of ordinary families.

"No!" Gao Yuemei shook her head quickly, "I have prepared dinner and am about to eat it!"

"It's okay, I'll save the same thing for tomorrow morning."

Unable to shirk it, Gao Yuemei came to Teacher Xing with the plate of fried tofu.

Teacher Xing's son and daughter-in-law were very polite. Maybe they heard that Gao Yuemei worked in the electric power company. The electric power company was a very good company both before and now.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr.

The portion of the meal was not small, but there was not much oil or water. It was not as good as the plate of fried tofu that Gao Yuemei brought. At least the tofu was fried to a brown color and there was a thin layer of oil on the bottom of the plate.

As expected, the fried tofu was very popular, and most of it went into the mouths of Teacher Xing's two grandsons, and even the bottom of the plate was licked clean.

During dinner chat time, Teacher Xing brought out a plate of moon cakes. Well, actually it looked more like sweet potato cakes.

"Sister Zhang, try it quickly, it's just out of the pot and it's still hot!" Teacher Xing greeted warmly.

Gao Yuemei took a piece politely.

Teacher Xing, perhaps feeling sorry for himself, also stuffed a piece for little Zhang Tao, and the little guy actually enjoyed it very much.

"Teacher Wu, do you and your wife live on campus, or have you bought a house there?" Gao Yuemei asked casually.

Teacher Wu is Teacher Xing’s son and teaches at Yangong University. In a sense, he is inheriting his mother’s business.

"Now that we live on campus, our original house has been expropriated." Teacher Wu replied.

Teacher Xing sighed: "Speaking of this, I almost want to die. It would have been better if we had separated our families. A house costs tens of millions!"

Teacher Wu’s wife sighed.

Gao Yuemei also felt bad. Their family was divided, but the outcome was worse. It would have been better if they had not gone abroad at the beginning of the year.

…

Xiangxie Family Community, Niuniu’s home.

A family of three is celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival. Compared with Teacher Xing's family, the food standard at their family is obviously one level lower.

The staple food is multi-grain rice, and there are two other dishes, one is potato pancakes, and the other is cabbage, radish and tofu stewed, but the family is very happy to eat.

After dinner, Niuniu pulled her parents to sit on the sofa.

"Dad, Mom, I have a gift for you."

"Good girl, mom and dad are waiting. Tell me what gift it is?" Niu Niu's father scratched his daughter's nose.

Niu Niu rubbed her nose: "You have to open your palms."

Niu Niu's father and Niu Niu's mother cooperated and followed suit.

Niuniu calmly took out two mooncakes from her pocket, put one in her father's hand and the other in her mother's hand.

Niuniu's father stood up in surprise and asked quickly: "Niuniu, where did this moon cake come from?"

Niuniu’s mother guessed the answer.

"Niuniu, did Dabao give you the mooncake?"

"Brother Dabao gave it to me." Niu Niu nodded.

"Honey, is this big treasure a relative of ours?"

Niu Niu's father said suspiciously, now that the rations are so tight, there are still people who are so generous. Moreover, this moon cake is not ordinary at first glance, and the ingredients are very particular.

Niuniu's mother explained: "Dabao is a classmate of my daughter's kindergarten. Their family lives in the courtyard next door to our community. Niuniu often goes to their house to play."

"No wonder, he turns out to be the child of a wealthy family."

"Well, their family runs a large company. I heard they have thousands of employees." Niuniu's mother added.

"Dad, Mom, eat the moon cakes quickly!" Niu Niu urged.

Niuniu's father returned the mooncakes to his daughter: "Niuniu, dad doesn't like mooncakes, you can eat them yourself!"

"No!" Niu Niu shook her head repeatedly, "Dad, the mooncakes are delicious, just try them!"

"My child feels sorry for you, so don't refuse." Niu Niu's mother helped to persuade her.

"But……"

Niu Niu's father thought for a while, broke the moon cake from the middle, and gave half to his daughter.

Niuniu immediately shook her head, "Dad, I have eaten three big mooncakes at brother Dabao's house today, and this one is for you."

Niuniu's father touched his daughter's head. Their little cotton-padded jacket was indeed very considerate.

He ate the moon cake in small bites. It was indeed very sweet and fragrant. He gave the other half to his wife and left the remaining piece for his daughter to eat later.

"Niuniu, does Dabao bully you?" Niuniu's father asked with concern. Little boys are very naughty and he was afraid that his daughter would suffer.

"No, Dabao is very nice to me and often brings me delicious food."

Niuniu's mother comforted him, "Don't worry. I have seen that child and he is a sensible and good child. I hope the two children can become a pair. Their family has no worries about food and drink. It is definitely not a loss to marry him."

"What's the matter with marrying or not? Niuniu is still so young. Don't give her any advice!" Niuniu's father said sourly.

"Why, you can't bear to let her go?"

"No way, children from rich families are fickle. Don't hurt Niuniu." Niuniu's father reluctantly found a reason.

"Okay, I was joking with you, but you took it seriously."

...

At the same time, Datou followed his girlfriend to his future mother-in-law's house to celebrate the holiday. After more than three months of treatment, he was just discharged from the hospital two days ago.

Datou's girlfriend is the female nurse before. Her name is Bai Li, who is 28 years old this year and is from Mengzhou.

As early as last year, their family moved to Yanjing.

But the family could not afford to buy a house, nor could they register their household registration, and they were not even eligible to apply for public rental housing. Fortunately, they came early and got a temporary residence permit.

At present, Bai Li's family rents a one-story house in the suburbs. There are only two rooms for the seven people in the family, with an area of ​​less than 50 square meters.

Although Datou looks silly and has nothing to do with being handsome, he is a Yanjing native after all, and at least he can apply for public rental housing. This is also the main reason why Bai Li agreed to his proposal.

Anyway, she can't stay in this house anymore, and the sooner she moves out, the better.
