My courtyard shelter

After getting the new household registration book, Xu's father first sent his wife back to the courtyard, then went directly to the store without entering the house.

The store's business has been getting better and better recently, and hundreds of second-hand electronic products are recycled every day. He needs to keep an eye on it to prevent employees from bypassing the company to take on private work.

When Xu Ma stepped into the courtyard, she couldn't calm down for a long time. Unlike her husband, she had a "career" of her own to divert her attention.

Yang Lina is practicing walking with her triplets in the living room. The children have grown up a lot and are no longer as difficult to take care of as they were when they were young.

"grandmother……"

When Dabao saw his grandma, he immediately rushed over to her. Ma Xu quickly knelt down to catch her, hugging her grandson and kissing her again and again.

Children are all debt collectors, so it is better for the younger generation to worry less.

"Mom, is the matter done?" Yang Lina raised her head and asked with concern.

Xu Ma nodded and said: "I got the new household registration book. Let's go to Sanhe Home together tomorrow and clean the new house thoroughly."

A new house has a new atmosphere. Some sundries need to be thrown away, replaced, and cleaned and disinfected in time.

"We're all gone, who will take care of Dabao and the other three?"

"Let your dad have a day off tomorrow. It doesn't matter if he misses a day in the store anyway." Xu Ma said nonchalantly.

"What about lunch? Dad doesn't know how to cook."

Even one day may not be enough to clean a new house. If you have to run back and forth at noon, it would be a waste of time.

Xu's mother waved her hand: "Don't we still have biscuits at home? Let your dad and Lele and the others use biscuits for lunch."

Yang Lina was still a little worried. After all, Father Xu was not young anymore. If he fell and knocked himself, the elderly and children would be in trouble.

"Mom, it's still too much trouble. Why not hire two part-time workers? It will save time and effort, and it won't cost much."

Xu's mother frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "The hourly worker is an outsider after all. They must not clean as carefully as our own family. Besides, there are still some debris thrown away. It is definitely not possible if no one is watching."

"How about this! Mom, I'll go to the new house and keep an eye on it, and you can stay at home, so dad doesn't have to take a vacation." Yang Lina suggested.

Xu's mother thought about it and thought it was a good idea, but she didn't want to stay at home. The new house had her name on it, just like it was her child, and it had a different kind of feeling.

"Forget it, let me go to the new house. You stay, and I'll ask your dad to get off work early. I can watch Dabao and the others for you while we cook at noon."

"Okay, Mom...just do as you say!" Yang Lina agreed immediately.

Anyway, her goal was achieved, and it didn't matter who went.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xu's mother hurriedly got on the bus and rushed to Sanhe's home.

Yang Lina has made an appointment online for two part-time housekeeping workers. The negotiated price is 30 yuan per person per hour, for a total of 8 hours.

Xu Ma didn't stay in the new house for long when two part-time aunties arrived. The three of them were all about the same age, and they were quite chatty with each other.

"Sister Zhang, your house is so big, so the down payment must be expensive, right?" Fang Huifang, a part-time worker, asked with envy as she wiped the furniture.

"No." Xu's mother shook her head and said proudly: "My house was bought in full."

"Full payment?" Fang Huifang exclaimed.

"It cost a total of 7 million!"

"Originally I didn't want to buy it. After all, the Fifth Ring Road is about to come out here, so it's a bit out of the way. But my son just wants to buy it, and no matter how hard I try to persuade him, it's no use."

Xu Ma nagged.

Another hourly worker, Wang Qiaodi, advised: "Sister Zhang, this place is not too remote. Money is not valuable now, so it is better to buy a house to preserve the value."

"I understand this, but the drought is so severe now, what's the use of buying more houses?" Xu's mother sighed.

"Sister Zhang, listen to what you said, does your family have other houses?" Wang Qiaodi asked in surprise.

She really couldn't see that the employer in front of her was actually a rich man.

"Look what you said, where did our family live before we didn't have a house? We can't rent a house, right?"

Xu Ma explained with a smile:

"There is a small courtyard house on the East Third Ring Road. Our whole family usually lives there. No one lives in the house here for the time being."

"Siheyuan?"

Fang Huifang was so surprised that she even stopped moving her hands. After working in Yanjing for so many years, how could she not know the price of a courtyard house? Even the cheapest one costs tens of millions.

"Sister Zhang, your family is really rich. What does your son do?"

Xu Ma was deliberately vague: "I work at Yanjing Electric Power Company."

"What a great unit!" Fang Huifang said with envy again.

"That's it, just get some dead wages, but fortunately the work is relatively leisurely and there is no pressure." Xu's mother was possessed by Versailles.

"What about your daughter-in-law?"

"She takes care of her children at home. There are many children at home, so she can't live without her."

"How many grandchildren do you have?"

"Here in Yanjing, there are two granddaughters and three grandsons."

"Oh, sister, you are so lucky."

"Haha, everyone says that."

Thanks to the deliberate compliments of the two part-time aunties, Xu's mother's smile never broke throughout the whole day.

Even for lunch, he took the two of them to a restaurant, and even ordered a braised fish extravagantly, which cost more than a thousand yuan for one meal.

By the way, food prices seem to have risen a lot recently.

If it was Xu's mother in the past, she would definitely not be so generous. However, as Xu's father handed over more and more "vegetable money", Xu's mother gradually became more willing to spend money.

……

After cleaning the new house, Xu Dong used some time after get off work to start to transfer some materials to Sanhe Home in a planned way.

There was no other messy stuff, just one ton of rice and ten tons of white sugar.

Rice is for emergency use, and white sugar is the capital for turning things around.

That evening, Xu Dong drove his Mercedes-Benz to Sanhe Home Community again. After more than half a month of uninterrupted transportation, today was the last batch of materials.

He drove the car into the underground parking lot and parked the car. The parking space was temporarily rented by Xu Dong from the property for only one month.

He opened the car door, put down the cart, and started the transportation work as usual.

There is an elevator in the parking lot that goes directly upstairs, so it is still very convenient to transport. Xu Dong ran three times and it took less than an hour for the car to be empty.

In the summer of July, the sun sets late. It is already past seven o'clock, but the temperature outside is still more than 30 degrees.

Xu Dong was sweating profusely. When the air conditioner was on, he felt sticky, so he took a hot bath in the new house.

He had brought his clothes with him.

Xu Dong planned to use this place as a temporary place for himself. In the future, he could do things that were not convenient to be made public.

After resting for ten minutes, Xu Dong got up and turned off all the water and electricity in the new house, and then left Sanhejiayuan Community.

He would not come here again in the short term, so it was safer to turn off the water and electricity.
