My courtyard shelter

The next day was Saturday, and the security department completely returned to its normal schedule. Xu Dong finally took a late nap, and even Xu's mother didn't disturb him this time. ReadМ

He stayed in bed until ten o'clock, and didn't get up until he was hungry.

In the yard, the whole family was sunbathing.

After not having much sunshine for three months, Dabao was almost moldy. Dabao sat obediently in his grandma's arms and watched helplessly as his brothers played with the excavator.

"Mom, is there still breakfast?"

"Don't look at what time it is now. The pots have been cleaned. Nana left a piece of bread for you. It seems to be in the cupboard. You can take it to pad your belly!" Xu Ma waved her hand and said.

Xu Dong asked for trouble and went straight to the kitchen. He ate the bread in a few bites, then made himself a cup of ginseng tea and added a little wolfberry to it.

I came to the yard with a glass of water, found a small bench and sat down, and basked in the sun with everyone else.

I was bored and chatted with my mother about home affairs.

"Mom, boss, are they coming over tomorrow?"

Xu Ma nodded: "I'll arrive at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. You can pick me up then."

"Why did it come so early this year?" Xu Dong asked doubtfully.

"Both the boss and his wife have resigned. We promised to come over when Jingyi goes on winter vacation. Why don't you welcome her?"

"No." Xu Dong shook his head quickly, "Of course I welcome it. Jingyi will graduate next year. As long as she is willing to come to Yanjing, I, as an uncle, will definitely help her find a good employer."

"Can I join your company?" Xu's mother looked expectant.

"Well, if it was when we first came here, it would be no problem. Now our company's establishment is very tight. I can't guarantee this." Xu Dong said with a bitter smile.

"Jingyi majored in journalism. It will be absolutely no problem for her to join your company to do publicity work."

Xu Dong thought for a while and suggested: "How about this? I'll get her to be an intern in our company first, and then we'll talk about work after graduation."

With his connections in the power company, it was easy to get an intern spot, especially since he had always had a good relationship with Director Su of the Human Resources Department, and it was almost just a matter of words.

"This is the only choice for now. If that doesn't work, let Jingyi join your dad's company. With your dad watching, I can feel more at ease."

Xu Ma sighed. For girls, having a stable job is more important than anything else. It is of course best to be in the system.

"Mom, it's useless for us to talk. In the end, it still depends on Jingyi's own choice, but with my uncle here, I will definitely not let her suffer."

Dabao took the opportunity to interject and asked: "Grandma, grandma, who is Jingyi?"

"Jingyi is your cousin. Your cousin came to our house during the Chinese New Year last year and hugged you three brothers. Have you forgotten?"

Dabao thought hard and finally shook his head. The little guy was only two years old last year, how could he remember it?

"Okay, your cousin will come over tomorrow, and you will get to know each other by then." Xu Ma comforted her.

"Grandma, is my cousin also a sister?"

Xu Dong explained: "Cousin and sister are the same. You will call me eldest sister from now on, do you know?"

"Isn't the eldest sister Sister Keke?" Dabao was confused.

"Both of them are big sisters."

"Oh!" Dabao nodded.

…

Early on Sunday morning, Xu Jingyi's family of three came to her grandmother's house with gifts. They were about to go to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year.

Before leaving, I came over to say hello.

"Dong dong dong..."

It was still my aunt who opened the door, "Oh, eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, why are you here?"

"We are about to go to Jingyi's grandparents' place to celebrate the New Year. The main reason for coming here this time is to see my mother. Where is my mother?" Tan Aifang looked inside the house.

"Mom is still sleeping. You can sit wherever you like and I'll wake mom up." Aunt explained quickly.

"I'll come with you!"

"OK……"

In order to receive subsidies from my eldest sister's family, my aunt took very good care of my mother-in-law. Not only did she keep the room neatly tidied, but she also set up a special stove to avoid freezing the old man.

"Mom, eldest sister is here to see you."

Grandma has woken up and is knitting on the bedside. The temperature is low in the morning, and the elderly usually don't get up until nine or ten o'clock.

"Who's coming?" As she gets older, grandma's hearing and vision become worse and worse.

"Mom, I'm Aifang!"

Grandma finally recognized her eldest daughter, and a big smile appeared on her face: "Aifang, why are you here?"

"Mom, our whole family is going to Yanjing this year and we can't accompany you. This time we are coming in advance to wish you a happy birthday." Tan Aifang replied.

"It's a good idea to go to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are both capable people. Thanks to you and your son-in-law, our family is not hungry. When you go there, don't show off to others." Grandma nagged.

"How dare I! Mom, let me help you get dressed. Dabin and Jingyi are both here."

"Okay, bring me my new cotton-padded jacket." Grandma urged.

Speaking of which, Tan Aifang made the new cotton-padded jacket herself. There was not enough cotton at home, so she exchanged corn flour for several kilograms of cotton.

Ten minutes later, grandma put on her clothes and finally came out, with Tan Aifang and her aunt supporting each other.

"Grandma, we are here to see you." Xu Jingyi said while hugging her little cousin.

Xu Bin nodded and called: "Mom!"

"Okay, our Jingyi is beautiful again." Grandma said with a smile on her face.

"Auntie!" said the little cousin.

The little one likes her aunt the most. Every time she comes to their house, she brings a lot of delicious food.

Tan Aifang came forward and hugged her little niece, while her aunt helped her grandmother sit on the sofa, and the others sat around on both sides.

"Dabin, how long will you stay in Yanjing this time?" asked the grandmother.

"About a month, come back after the Lantern Festival, Jingyi still has to go to school!"

"Say hello to your parents for me."

Xu Bin nodded quickly: "Mom, our family may move to Yanjing next year. Will you live with us for a few months?"

"My health is not good." Grandma waved her hand, "I can't go to Yanjing. You can come back often to see me, an old woman, when you are free."

Grandma didn't want to leave Luyang, and another concern was her son's family. She was afraid that if she followed her, her eldest daughter would reduce or stop the subsidy from her mother's family. After all, food is very precious in everyone's family now.

"Grandma, we can take the high-speed rail. The high-speed rail is fast and stable." Xu Jingyi advised.

"Jingyi, your grandma can't stand the closed environment in the carriage, so don't force her." Auntie hurriedly explained, fearing that the "God of Wealth" in the family would run away.

Tan Aifang couldn't help but hold back her mouth. What can't take the high-speed rail? In the final analysis, it's not greedy for their family's food. This brother-in-law is good in everything, but he is shameless.

"Mom, we brought you some New Year's goods this time. You can keep them for the New Year. Don't be reluctant." Tan Aifang pointed to the gifts on the table and urged.

"What else did you bring? I'm very happy that you can come." Grandma "blamed".
