My courtyard shelter

Time flies so fast, and it’s Wednesday, May 11th, in a blink of an eye. read

When he went to work in the morning, Xu Dong specially brought two cans of baby milk powder, which he had been putting off for five days. Today was the day to complete the transaction with Gao Yuemei.

When she arrived at the office, Gao Yuemei had been waiting for a long time.

"Xiao Xu, are you here? Have you brought the milk powder?"

"Here it is!"

Xu Dong picked up the bag in his hand and placed it on the desk in front of him.

Gao Yuemei couldn't wait to open the bag, and there were indeed two unopened cans of milk powder inside. There were English letters printed on the cans, so there was no doubt that the milk powder was imported.

Looking at the production date, the one from October last year is definitely not expired.

"Xiao Xu, eldest sister, thank you very much."

Gao Yuemei collected the milk powder and immediately transferred 16,000 yuan to Xu Dong.

"Sister Gao, you're welcome, we are all colleagues, this little busyness is nothing." Xu Dong said politely.

A smile finally appeared on Gao Yuemei's face. Xu Dong felt that occasionally helping others was a good experience. After all, giving was happier than receiving.

"Xiao Xu, my eldest sister has prepared some thank-you gifts for you and placed them under your desk. Don't forget them."

After Gao Yuemei finished speaking, she picked up the bag and left in a hurry without waiting for Xu Dong to refuse.

Xu Dong didn't pay attention. When he came to his desk, he lowered his head and saw that there was indeed a black plastic bag under the desk.

After all, he was helping others, so Xu Dong accepted the gift with peace of mind.

Opening the bag, there were two bottles of Maotai wine inside. Looking at the labels, Xu Dong searched the price online. A bottle of 53° Maotai five-star wine cost 1,200 yuan.

It’s definitely a great gift!

"Should we go back and sell Sister Gao two cans of milk powder?" Xu Dong hesitated secretly.

Forget it, let’s talk about it later.

…

The next day, a sandstorm suddenly blew up in several states in the northwest, and then went all the way east, spanning thousands of kilometers to the East China Sea.

Among them, the capital area is particularly serious.

At 10:45 in the morning, the sandstorm began to reach the western suburbs of Yanjing, and then swept the entire city of Yanjing in less than ten minutes.

Its instantaneous wind force almost reached Level 10, causing passers-by to stagger around. As far as the eye could see, the world was covered in yellow mist.

In fact, since March, as the drought continues to worsen, sandstorms have been blowing in the Yanjing area one after another, but none of them have been as exaggerated as today.

The only benefit brought by the sandstorm is that the power company is on holiday. In fact, not only Yanjing Electric Power Company, but also 99% of the companies in the urban area and schools are on emergency holidays.

Xu Dong is neither a leader, so he does not need to set an example; nor is he a temporary worker, so he can only work hard without complaining.

So things like being on duty basically have nothing to do with him.

As soon as he received the holiday notice, he couldn't wait to drive his big Ben and left the power company.

Unfortunately, the visibility on the road was so low that there were traffic jams everywhere. Xu Dong drove for more than two hours to get home, which took almost five times longer than usual.

"Honey, I'm back."

Xu Dong shouted into the yard while spitting out the sand in his mouth.

"Dad, wipe it for you." Coco trotted over and handed over a wet towel.

"Good!" Xu Dong was very pleased. He couldn't help but rub the little cotton-padded jacket's hair, and then asked: "Where is Lele?"

According to convention, the twin sisters usually come out together to greet their father, but today they made an exception.

Keke replied crisply: "My sister's eyes are blurred by sand, and grandma is helping her blow her eyes!"

Xu Dong wiped his face haphazardly and quickly walked towards his parents' bedroom.

"How's it going? Is it serious?"

Xu Ma raised her head, glanced at Xu Dong, and whispered:

"It's not a big problem. We've already seen the grains of sand and can take them out right away."

Xiao Lele also heard her father's voice and immediately said aggrievedly: "Dad, my eyes hurt."

"Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon."

"Dad, will I become blind?"

"No, daddy promises you."

"Dad, I want to eat prawns."

"Well, Dad will think of a way and make prawns for you tomorrow."

"Dad, I still want to..."

"Lele, be good, don't move." Xu's mother suddenly spoke, interrupting the interaction between father and daughter.

Father Xu was holding his mobile phone as a flashlight. He felt that Xu Dong was in the way and was not helping, so he urged him to go upstairs to help look after the triplets.

The triplets are about to turn two years old, and they are at a lively and active age. Usually, Xu Ma and Yang Lina are unable to take care of them.

In the master bedroom on the second floor, Yang Lina is teaching the triplets to memorize ancient poems, but the effect is not very good. The three little guys are not cooperating at all and are just playing.

"Dabao, Erbao, Xiaobao, come to daddy quickly!" As soon as Xu Dong entered the room, he stretched out his arms towards the triplets.

"Dad, hug...hug..."

Dabao was the most active, "running" crookedly on his short legs.

Xu Dong quickly stepped forward and hugged him, and then took a big sip on his little face, making the little guy giggle.

"Are Lele's eyes done?" Yang Lina stood up and asked.

"Not yet!" Xu Dong shook his head.

"I'll go down and take a look. Keep an eye on the three of them." Yang Lina went downstairs after giving instructions.

Xu Dong carried the triplets to the bed one by one, and then began to teach them how to build building blocks. The four father and son had a great time.

About ten minutes later, Yang Lina came back again. After entering the door, she said directly to Xu Dong:

"It's okay, the sand has been taken out."

Xu Dong finally felt relieved, and then immediately asked the reason:

"You were fine, how did you get blinded?"

"It was Huahua who made trouble. Lele didn't see Huahua after returning home, so he insisted on following me to look for the cat. As a result, he didn't find the cat, but he got blinded." Yang Lina said helplessly.

"This child is troublesome. Did Huahua find it in the end?"

Yang Lina laughed and scolded: "He ran back by himself, covered in dust. I shouldn't have bought a tabby cat in the first place. It's too wild."

"It's better to be wild. It can catch mice." Xu Dong muttered.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, is there any food in the kitchen? I haven't had lunch yet." Xu Dong touched his hungry stomach and asked.

Hearing that her husband was still hungry, Yang Lina felt distressed and couldn't help but scold him:

"Really, you didn't eat earlier, I'll go make you a bowl of noodles."

Yang Lina went downstairs immediately after she finished speaking, Xu Dong reminded her from behind: "Don't put potatoes in it!"

"Got it, you're the one who's always bothering."

After a while, Yang Lina came up with a bowl of steaming noodles, the white noodles were covered with garlic fried bacon, which made people's appetites grow.

"Hurry up and eat it while it's hot!"

Xu Dong jumped off the bed immediately, took the bowl and chopsticks, and smiled and flattered: "My wife, you're so nice."

"Don't talk nonsense, go turn on the solar energy after you finish eating, the power just went out." Yang Lina reminded.
