My courtyard shelter

As soon as the electricity was connected to the courtyard, guests came to the house. They were none other than Wang Xiujuan's family. ReadМ

"Old Wang, why are you here?" Xu Ma went out to greet him.

She sincerely welcomed Wang Xiujuan's arrival. After all, she helped the third child solve work problems, which was a great favor.

Wang Xiujuan explained while helping her eldest grandson untie the scarf wrapped around his face:

"Oh, isn't there a power outage? It's too hot at home and I can't stay there at all. I thought your house must have electricity, so I came over to cool off."

"Ha, Lao Wang, you came just in time. I was worried about having nothing to do in the afternoon. Let's play mahjong. You, me, plus Zheng Yan and Nana, there are exactly four of us." Xu Ma suggested with a smile. .

Wang Xiujuan's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly: "This is a good idea. What to do with the children? You still have triplets at home. It won't work if no one is watching."

"It's okay." Xu's mother waved her hand, "My third child happens to be at home, so I'll let him take care of the kids today. If that doesn't work, I still have Coco and Lele, who can also help a lot. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Okay, then when will we start?"

"What are you waiting for? It's now. Just wait, I'll get the mahjong box."

As soon as Xu's mother put the little treasure into her daughter-in-law's arms, she hurried upstairs. She bought mahjong during the Chinese New Year. Her daughter and son-in-law were both there at the time, and the family played mahjong several times.

"Aunt Wang, Sister Zheng, let's go inside, it's hot outside." Yang Lina reminded.

"Okay!" Wang Xiujuan nodded and asked as she walked: "When did your Xu Dong come back?"

"Their company went on holiday at around 10 a.m., and there was a traffic jam on the road. I didn't get home until around 1 p.m."

After Yang Lina finished speaking, she put Xiaobao on the ground, and then poured water for the guests to make tea.

Zheng Yan also put her little daughter down and let her play with Xiaobao, and then said with emotion:

"Your Lao Xu has an easy job, but our Lao Zhang has to be on duty at night, not to mention having a holiday. He will probably be away from home for several days again."

Yang Lina smiled bitterly and said: "How can this be compared? If my old Xu had half the ambition of District Chief Zhang, he wouldn't be working as a security guard now."

Zheng Yan's husband, Zhang Kai, officially took up the post of deputy district chief of the district at the beginning of the month, taking a crucial step in his official career.

Xu Ma even ran over and gave Wang Xiujuan a generous gift.

"You two, please stop complaining. Listen to me. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Don't always think about envying others and just live your own life." Wang Xiujuan couldn't help but advise.

In her opinion, her son and Xiao Xu, one is ambitious and the other is family-oriented, it is impossible to say who is good and who is bad, but as husbands, both of them are undoubtedly qualified.

"What are you talking about, all of them are looking sad?" Xu's mother happened to come over. Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit solemn, she couldn't help but feel strange.

Wang Xiujuan waved her hand: "It's okay. I gave them a few words of advice. It's not easy to be both a wife and a mother."

"What's so difficult? Isn't this how we all come here! Okay, Nana, go clear the table, and Zheng Yan, go bring some chairs to the room."

"knew."

"good."

Five minutes later, the tablecloth was laid out, the fruit plate was filled with snacks, and the card game officially began.

At this time, Xu Dong, the "lady of the family", finally showed his face, exchanged a few words with Aunt Wang, and then led Xiaobao and the two little guests upstairs together.

"Don't let Dabao and the others eat too many snacks and they won't be able to digest them at night." Yang Lina did not forget to remind her.

"I know, I have a sense of propriety."

Xu Dong is no stranger to raising children, and he has his own tips.

"Keke, Lele, you two take your brother to play games and don't bully him, you know?"

Xu Dong brought Aunt Wang's precious grandson into the twins' room. The three of them were similar in age and could just play together.

"I know, Dad, hurry up and unlock the tablet." Lele couldn't wait any longer.

Xu Dong made a serious face and reminded again: "One person can only play for one hour. The three of you take turns. If anyone exceeds the time, he will not be able to play next time."

"Got it, Dad!"

"I know, uncle!"

Zhang Yong, a child, has been to the Siheyuan several times. He is very fond of the Siheyuan. Not only does his uncle’s house have endless snacks, but he can also watch TV and play games.

Xu Dong touched the heads of the three little guys one by one, and then unlocked the tablet. Soon, the room was reminded of the dynamic game music.

Xu Dong asked them to turn down the volume, then left the room, closing the door behind him.

As for the four little ones, Xu Dong carried them all to the big bed in the master bedroom, and then installed temporary guardrails on the edge of the bed to let them sleep inside.

It happened to be nap time now, and the little ones fell asleep after a little coaxing.

Xu Dong was sitting next to him, reading online novels on his mobile phone. Fortunately, he was reading complete novels that had been cached, so he would not be affected even if there was no Internet.

Turning his gaze back downstairs, it was Wang Xiujuan's turn to play her cards, "Dongfeng...Old Zhang, where is your Lao Xu, why didn't you see anyone?"

"Peng, Santiao... I went to the store. I said I was worried about the store because I was worried that the employees would be lazy." Xu Ma replied.

"How is the business in the store?" Wang Xiujuan asked curiously.

Xu Ma smiled and said modestly: "It's not bad, I can earn some food money at least!"

"Ninety thousand... more than that. The last time I passed by your store, there were seven or eight employees inside. How could you possibly make just enough money to buy vegetables?" Wang Xiujuan retorted.

"Eight... what's the point of having more employees? You have to pay tens of thousands of wages every month, which is not as much as the convenience store you used to make."

Zheng Yan interrupted, "Aunt Zhang, are you still planning to open your convenience store?"

"No, I can't find a source of goods even if I want to open one now. There is a shortage of everything in the market now. Look at how many small supermarkets have closed on our street." Xu's mother sighed.

Wang Xiujuan agreed:

"That's right! By the way, when will your greenhouse be built? I have prepared the strawberry seeds. It's a new variety and tastes great!"

"One... let's wait and see at the end of the month. My old man asked and there is a big shortage of glass now. We have to wait for a while." Xu's mother replied.

Speaking of the vegetable garden, Yang Lina immediately became interested, "Auntie Wang, the lettuce in the yard is almost grown, you can take some back to taste it later."

"Okay, I'm just worried about where to buy vegetables tonight, then I won't be polite..."

Before Wang Xiujuan finished speaking, Xu Ma suddenly said excitedly: "Ha, the five tubes are finally here... self-drawn!"

"Lao Zhang, you are so lucky that you can draw the single hanging five tubes. I have two more cards than you. It's so annoying." Wang Xiujuan said without interruption.

"Haha... today must be my lucky day!" Xu Ma said proudly.
