My courtyard shelter

Zhang Xiuyan's funeral was held very quickly and very low-key. After all, the temperature was high in summer, so the sooner the better. If Xu's mother hadn't insisted on seeing her for the last time, she might have been cremated at noon that day.

After returning from the funeral parlor, the family sat together and began to discuss immigration. Since the old man was gone, my father and mother were not willing to stay for another day.

Dajie spoke first: "Dad, Mom, my aunt suggested that our family go to Sydney. My cousin has bought a large manor in Sydney. It just happens that we can have someone to take care of us and it's easy to get around."

"Tsk tsk, my cousin is still capable."

Dafu immediately complimented.

Years ago, he heard from his eldest daughter that his aunt's family had opened a new company with an investment amount of tens of billions of yuan, which almost shocked the couple's jaws.

He really didn't expect that his aunt's family, which had been unremarkable for most of his life, would be in such a good situation. He could only lament that things in the world are unpredictable.

"I was also lucky. When I bought it, Kangaroo Country had not yet joined Asia Pacific, and housing prices at that time were very low."

Xu Dong said modestly.

Xu Ma waved her hand: "Okay, let's not talk about your cousin. If you praise him again, he will go to heaven. What do you two think about moving to Sydney?"

"It is of course better to go to Sydney. Originally our first choice was Sydney, but we heard that the summer in Maoben is not that hot and is more suitable for the elderly, so we decided to go to Maoben."

Dafu replied quickly.

“Do you have enough money to buy a house?”

Da Jie rushed to answer: "That's enough, that's enough. The housing price in Sydney is only over 3,000, which is extremely cheap. With the salary I have saved in the past few years, I can buy a big house."

Although there are no purchase restrictions in Kangaroo Country, there is a high property tax. The first home is tax-free. For more than one home, the tax rate directly reaches 10%.

This completely eliminates the possibility of real estate speculation.

And in the current environment, a house that is too big is not necessarily a good thing. Summer air-conditioning fees and winter withdrawal fees are a large expense for many families.

On the other hand, Sydney has experienced the war, and the original old buildings have long since disappeared, and the current housing has been rebuilt later.

Most units are around 100 square meters.

Large manors or villas like those purchased by Xu Dong are rare in the entire Kangaroo Kingdom.

It is different from the free-range policy in the north.

They have a comprehensive and clear plan for Kangaroo Continent, and are ready to turn it into a second home to share the local population pressure.

The planned population of this land in the future is about 300 million, accounting for about one-third of the country's population. The entire construction cycle will probably last 20 to 30 years.

Inland areas are the main force of this migration.

"What about Xiaobing? Leave her to go to school alone in the capital?"

Xu Ma continued to ask.

Da Bing is Da Jie's younger sister and will be a junior in college in the second half of the year.

The little girl was lucky. The year of college entrance examination happened to coincide with the university expansion, and her academic performance was always good, so she was admitted to Xia Zhong Normal University.

"Auntie, it's okay for me to be alone. I can stay in school during the winter and summer vacations. When I graduate from university, I will take the initiative to apply to work in Sydney."

Da Bing quickly explained.

"You don't want to go to the capital to work? Just let your sister take care of you."

Xu Ma advised.

"No." Da Bing shook her head, "My parents can't live without someone around them. I will go to Sydney and take care of them by the way."

This is something the sisters have discussed long ago.

Da's father and Da's mother have no sons, and they can only rely on their two daughters. The two sisters cannot be too selfish. No matter what, one of them must stay with their parents.

Da Bing is undoubtedly more suitable.

Xu's mother thought the same thing: "It doesn't matter if you go to Sydney, your parents really can't live without people."

"His father and I are still young and don't need anyone to accompany us. As long as the two sisters can make a difference, that's all." Damu looked pleased.

"Don't worry, Da Jie is now the director of the company, and she will be the same in the future."

Xu Ma comforted.

"Dajie is where she is today, all thanks to your support, auntie, and her grandmother's discernment. To be honest, when Dajie left, her mother and I were a little reluctant to let go!"

Dafu looked grateful.

Xu's mother waved her hand: "I see Da Jie's hard work. Even without me, she can still achieve her current results with her ability."

In fact, everyone present knew that Xu Ma was speaking politely, including Da Jie herself.

Otherwise, as a young girl who just graduated from junior high school, let alone a supervisor, no one would accept her into the factory.

"My aunt loves me the most."

Dajie immediately came over and took Xu Ma's arm.

"You're already of marriageable age, and you're still acting like a spoiled brat!"

Xu Ma said angrily.

Xu Dong took the opportunity to ask: "Cousin, when are you planning to move? Do you want my help?"

"Cousin, we plan to go to Sydney to buy a house first, and it won't be too late to move after Da Bing starts school.

As for help, you don’t need help. There is a special immigration office in the city. You can sign up directly and save even the ferry ticket. "

Kangaroo Country is a bit far from Daxia, and it takes almost a month to get back and forth by boat.

It was a quick flight, but they couldn't bear to do it.

After all, a plane ticket costs less than 100,000 yuan, which can buy one-third of a house.

"I will leave the address of our manor later. When you choose a house, try to choose it in the same area."

"That's exactly what I meant."

Dafu nodded.

Xu Ma interrupted: "Dakui, what's the situation at your second sister's house now?"

Wafu has two sisters. The eldest sister married to Yuzhou next door. The whole family immigrated to Siam two years ago. It is too far away and there is no way to get back.

The second sister married to Xinzhou and is still on the way.

Xinzhou is far away in the northwest, not close to the inland, and the road conditions are not good. There are often windy and sandy weather. Even if you are lucky, it will take two or three days to get there.

"Their family will have to wait for another two years. The second brother-in-law has a special job and can't leave for a while."

Wafu sighed.

Gu Ting

"It's two years later, work is important."

Before the Xu family became rich, this "second brother-in-law" was the most promising, but he was a little unlucky. He encountered a big flare as soon as he was transferred to Xinzhou.

As a result, he stayed there for ten years.

...

After a simple lunch, Xu Dong and his mother left Yiling. Da Jie stayed, and Xu's mother gave her a week-long vacation.

In the evening, the mother and son returned to Yanjing.

The next morning, Xu Dong locked Mark and Huahua in an iron cage and then moved them to the Mercedes-Benz. During the summer vacation, no one was at home, so they had to find a temporary shit shoveler for them.

Lele looked reluctant: "Dad, can you take Huahua with you?"

"No, there is no pet check-in service on the passenger ship, don't make trouble for yourself."

Xu Dong refused mercilessly.

The main reason was that this move was too conspicuous and had a bad impact.

Dabao and his three brothers took the opportunity to stroke the dog's head. They wouldn't see Mark for more than a month.

Mark has been in the old Xu family for ten years. He almost grew up with the triplets, so they naturally have a deep relationship.

"Dad, will Mark not adapt to being outside?" Dabao asked with concern.

"Don't worry, as long as there is meat to eat, Mark can live well anywhere."

Xu Dong smiled and comforted.

For this foster care, he specially brought 200 kilograms of grains and ten boxes of canned meat, which is enough for a cat and a dog to eat for two months.

Of course, these cans are from ten years ago. After all, with the new cans, the old cans must be replaced. Mark and Huahua have been eating them for a while.

Dabao squatted down and leaned close to Mark's ear, gently admonishing: "Mark, you must be obedient outside. If anyone bullies you, bite him."

"Your uncle is not an outsider, how could he bully Mark and Huahua, don't worry."

That's right, Xu Dong is looking for the eldest family.

First, the two families have the closest relationship. Mark is very familiar with the eldest family and there will be no problems;

Second, there is no one else in the eldest family except the couple, so they will not disturb others.

"Uncle said Mark was fat before, and said that dog meat hot pot must be very delicious."

Dabao said melancholy.

Xu Dong touched his eldest son's head: "Your uncle was joking with you, did you take it seriously?"

"It doesn't seem like it. I saw Uncle swallow several mouthfuls of saliva with my own eyes."

Dabao looked suspicious.

Xu Dong couldn't help but curse inwardly. The eldest son was really a little petty. Their family didn't lack meat. Was it necessary?

That was all he could do!

If his mother knew, she would definitely punish him.

"Okay, Dad is going to drive. You guys should get out of the way."

"Dad, drive slower."

Lele reminded.

"Got it."

Xu Dong waved to the children.

Half an hour later, the destination was reached.

Xu Bin received a call and waited downstairs in advance.

"Third son, you're here."

"Well, Mark and Huahua are bothering you."

"What are you being polite about!" Xu Bin rubbed his hands. "Um...did you bring the gaming helmet?"

"I did. It's in the trunk!"

"Third son, thank you."

Xu Dong shook his head: "Brother, you can play, but don't quarrel with your sister-in-law, okay?"

Because the eldest son played games before, his sister-in-law Tan Aifang went straight to her mother-in-law, and he was scolded a lot because of it.

Later, under the mediation of Xu's mother, the couple finally reconciled, but the precondition was that Xu Bin could only come over to play for two days on weekends and was not allowed to visit at other times.

"Don't worry, I only play for two or three hours a day, your sister-in-law will definitely have no objection."

Xu Dong nodded: "Don't play too much."

Then, the two brothers carried the iron cage upstairs.

When the little lion saw Mark, he immediately pounced on him:

"Mark, Mark, I'm a little lion."

Mark looked up at the little lion and called out symbolically twice.

The little lion said excitedly: "Mom, mom, look, Mark greeted me."

"Mom saw it."

Xu Jingyi stepped forward and pulled the eldest son away.

Xu Dong and the eldest son carried the iron cage into the bedroom, which was also Xu Bin's collection room, with several rows of museum shelves and seven or eight large wooden boxes.

Xu Bin's collection results over the years are still considerable, and he has accumulated a lot of good things.

Tan Aifang brought a cup of tea over.

"Why is Mark so listless? Is he sick?"

Xu Dong sighed, "He's not sick, he's always like this."

Mark has officially entered his old age.

Even if he is taken care of carefully, he probably won't live for many years. As a member of the Xu family, no matter how reluctant you are, you have to accept the reality.
