My courtyard shelter

On New Year's Eve, the courtyard was very lively.

Ma Lingling brought her boyfriend back.

The young man's name is Yang Shuo. He is tall and handsome, and his family is rich. After graduating from college, he chose to start his own business, doing import and export trade.

It is said that he made a profit of tens of millions last year alone.

Speaking of which, the two met through a blind date, and the matchmaker was Xu Jingyi's mother-in-law.

At the beginning, both parties were perfunctory, but fortunately, after several contacts, they soon developed a good impression of each other and officially confirmed their relationship last week.

Knowing that their daughter was in love, Xu Ting and Ma Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief. Today was also the first time they met their "future son-in-law", and the couple was very satisfied. .

Yang Shuo left after lunch.

Ma Lingling personally sent her boyfriend out the door.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Bin and his wife also left. Since Xu Jingyi got married, they basically went to their daughter's place for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Especially this year, the father-in-law and son-in-law could not come back. At the invitation of the mother-in-law, the two families simply lived together.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the New Year's Eve dinner began.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner was extremely luxurious. Thanks to Mr. Mike's relationship, Xu Dong got a lot of precious ingredients, including more than ten pounds of Wagyu beef, which made the whole family feast.

Dabao ate two steaks by himself, and kept shouting:

"Delicious, so delicious!"

Seeing that her grandson liked it, Xu's mother was happier than drinking honey: "Eat slowly, don't choke, no one will snatch it from you."

Lele was very entangled. After all, she was a big girl and knew how to be beautiful. Due to her weight, she only cut a small half of the steak in the end, and gave the rest to her father.

Xu Dong accepted it with a smile. Who doesn't like Wagyu? He wanted to eat a few more bites!

This thing is imported from the United States, and the tariff is frighteningly high. Even he can only afford to spend a lot of money during the Chinese New Year.

Usually, we eat ordinary beef.

As for the place of origin, Nesang.

Sorry, we can't afford it, and it doesn't conform to the spirit of the Asian Mutual Treaty. Now, looking at the world, only the United States has the financial resources and consumer market.

Xu Dong bought it secretly himself.

If this matter gets out, it will be questionable whether he can keep his position as director. After all, the current society is still vigorously advocating frugality.

This is also the consensus of the whole society.

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Xu Dong took out a stack of red envelopes and started to give out New Year's money.

Dabao and his three brothers had long given up hope.

But this year, there was finally an exception. The five siblings plus Ma Lingling and Ma Xu were treated equally, and each person received 800 yuan.

Xiaobao took the initiative to give the New Year's money to his mother as soon as he got the red envelope.

Yang Lina smiled and touched her youngest son's head. It was rare for a family to have a good reader, which made her face more glorious.

"Keep it for yourself. Mom believes you will use the money well."

"Thank you, Mom!"

Xiaobao nodded vigorously.

Dabao saw it and immediately followed suit.

He ran to his mother and handed over the New Year's money. However, Yang Lina was not polite this time. She confiscated 700 yuan on the spot and only left 100 yuan for the eldest son.

"Mom, you are partial!"

Dabao was stunned.

Before, in order to buy VR helmets, Dad had cleared all the savings of the three brothers. Now these New Year's money is their only pocket money.

"Why is Mom partial?"

Yang Lina said unhappily.

Dabao pointed at his younger brother and shouted: "Xiaobao just got 800 yuan, not a single one was missing."

"Xiaobao got the first place in the class in the final exam. That was a reward from Mom. Why do you have any objection?"

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Does Mom have to report to you when she does things?"

Dabao shrank his neck and could only admit that he was unlucky.

Yang Lina did not let Erbao go either, and immediately called her second son over.

Erbao reluctantly handed over the red envelope.

Dabao finally felt relieved.

Yang Lina took away the 500 yuan in the red envelope without saying a word, but at least she left 300 yuan.

Erbao was shocked and thanked him immediately:

"Thank you, Mom!"

Dabao's chubby face flushed: "Mom, are you dazzled? How come my second brother still has 300 yuan left?"

"Erbao's final ranking is higher than yours, and there will be rewards if it is higher."

Yang Lina said as a matter of course.

"Isn't it just two places higher?"

Dabao was very unconvinced. Usually, his and his second brother's grades were basically chasing each other, and the two brothers were the same.

"One place higher is also higher, Mom only looks at the results." Yang Lina waved her hand.

"It's so unfair!"

"Since it's unfair, then you should surpass Erbao next time, and mom will leave you 300 yuan next time."

Yang Lina has long been fed up with the two brothers huddling together for warmth. A poor student should have the awareness of a poor student. Fortunately, the youngest son is not the kind of nerd who only knows how to study, otherwise he will definitely be bullied to death by his brothers.

Hearing what his mother said, Dabao and Erbao looked at each other, and finally Erbao compromised and took 100 yuan from the red envelope and handed it to his eldest brother.

Dabao took it with a smile.

Compared with the hardship of studying, the two brothers still think it's good to have a brother in distress. Isn't it just a hundred yuan?

At most, they can sell a few more barrels of chrysanthemum tea in the future.

Seeing this, Yang Lina was furious and vented her anger on her daughters, but the sisters didn't care.

They have a huge inventory of action figures.

If they are short of money, they can just sell two action figures.

Gu Cang...

The next morning, Xu Dong went out as usual, but he is now a big director, and some people don't need him to run around in person.

For example, Director Su and Zhao Jian.

The former is about the same level as him, and the latter is even one level lower than him. These two are basically run by his eldest niece Ma Lingling.

Many of the connections in the bakery are basically managed by Ma Lingling and General Manager Yu. Xu's father and mother are old and don't like these social events.

The first place Xu Dong came to was Director Li's house.

"Uncle Xu, I want to go to your house to play."

Little Li Tao's eyes were full of desire.

Xu Dong put down the gift and patted the back of the little guy's head:

"Uncle's door is not closed, just go if you want to play!"

"But, Dabao brother won't play with me."

Little Li Tao said aggrievedly.

"What's wrong?"

Aunt Li quickly explained: "Once before, they had a fight, and Dabao was punished by Nana to stand for an hour. I guess they are enemies."

"Tell uncle, why did you two fight?"

Little Li Tao told the story again.

"Well, fighting is wrong, both of you are wrong."

Little Li Tao nodded.

Xu Dong continued to educate: "Also, it's wrong for you to bully Sister Niuniu. Boys should keep their words. How can you be naughty?"

"I didn't play naughty." Little Li Tao immediately explained, "It's just that the game is too fun, I couldn't help it."

Xu Dong scratched the little guy's nose.

At the same time, he also realized that Xiaobao had secretly memorized the power-on password. He must have played it secretly. He must teach him a lesson later.

"The game hasn't even started yet? You can't stand it?"

"Uncle Xu, the games in your house are just like the real ones. They are so interesting."

Little Li Tao said with a beaming face.

"Okay, it's not difficult to play games. Let your mother take you to your uncle's house tomorrow. When you take the initiative to apologize to Sister Niuniu, Dabao will forgive you, okay?"

"Okay!"

Although little Li Tao was a little reluctant, he could only agree when he thought of the fun games.

Xu Dong stretched out his hand and pinched the little guy's face.

Director Li's family has good food, and little Li Tao is growing into a fat boy.

After leaving Director Li's house, Xu Dong went to Director Cao's house. Although Director Cao was gone, Aunt Cao was still there, and the relationship between the two families was still there.

Especially Director Cao's eldest daughter Cao Zhenzhen.

The other party is a university teacher and has a wide network of contacts in the education system. The dream of the two sisters may even trouble him!

"Xiao Xu, why are you here so early?"

Aunt Cao is still as enthusiastic as ever.

But the old lady is obviously much older.

"I have something to do in the afternoon, so I left a little early."

Xu Dong answered truthfully.

"Let's have lunch before leaving?"

"No, no, I have to go to other families later!"

Aunt Cao sighed: "You, like our old man, have to visit people everywhere every Chinese New Year. I know you are busy, so I won't keep you."

Xu Dong smiled and handed the gift to the other party.

"Aunt, there is a bottle of honey in the bag. You have trouble sleeping, so drinking this will be the best."

"It must be very expensive, right?"

Xu Dong shook his head: "It's not expensive, just drink it, I'll help you get it after you finish drinking it."

"How can it be not expensive? I heard from the people at Zhier No. 2 Plant last time that a bottle of honey now costs tens of thousands. No, you have to pay."

Aunt Cao quickly called her eldest son over.

After much persuasion, Xu Dong finally convinced the other party to accept the gift. After all, Uncle Cao was gone, and it was too far-fetched to say that he had accepted bribes.

The next stop was District Chief Liao's home.

Since three years ago, the two sides have officially had exchanges, and Song Lin's side is now mainly Yang Lina who is responsible for going around, and he hasn't been there for several years.

Before leaving, Xu Dong specially prepared a small gift.

It was really small, only a pound of dried sweet potatoes, plus a pound of chrysanthemum tea, which added up to only three or four hundred yuan.

District Chief Liao happily accepted the gift.

Afterwards, the two talked about the project planning of Xinke Haizao for more than an hour. If Xu Dong hadn't frequently looked at his watch, the other party would not have been willing to let him go!

After leaving District Chief Liao's house, the next place was Aunt Wang's house. The other party was at a critical moment of promotion, and Xu Dong didn't dare to give a heavy gift. He just showed his appreciation.

Aunt Wang was not unhappy at all.

At the last stop, Xu Dong came to the boss's house.

As a result, Xu Bin was not at home and went to the digital store.

Tan Bangxiang held a wedding the day after tomorrow, and the young couple was busy, so the store could only be temporarily handed over to the uncle-in-law.

Xu Bin was reluctant to close the store, and went out with Xiaohuzi in his arms early in the morning.

Xu Dong left the gift and went to the old Pan's house with his sister-in-law.

Originally, he was an elder and didn't need to come in person.

But since he was here, there was no loss in making a trip. Besides, the old Pan family was not an ordinary family, so it would not hurt for the two families to visit each other more.
