My courtyard shelter

On September 7, Section Chief Li personally drove Xiao Wang's family to the company. After a brief condolences, the senior leader handed over a donation of 4.58 million yuan to the other party. ReadМ

Fortunately, Xiao Wang also has a teenage sister, so the old couple will not be left homeless, and this huge sum of money will have some meaning.

After the donation ceremony, Xu Dong drove Xiao Wang's family back to the hotel, and found an opportunity to gently persuade them to settle in Yanjing.

After all, Xiao Wang's pension, plus the donation from the power company, can just buy a slightly better house in the capital.

Unfortunately, neither Xiao Wang's parents nor his sister were willing to stay in Yanjing, a sad place. At noon that day, the three of them took the high-speed train back to Yuzhou.

Xu Dong knew that they were not short of money now, so he rushed to give them a box of adult milk powder and a large bag of beef jerky before the three of them got in the car. He mainly wanted to replenish the health of the two elderly people.

There is nothing more tragic than losing a child in old age, an only child who has never been married.

An optimistic estimate is that it will take at least two or three years for the old couple to recover.

Xu Dong returned to the company again. As soon as he entered the office, he was surrounded by Gao Yuemei and others.

"Xiao Xu, you're back. Xiao Wang and his family are really gone?" Gao Yuemei asked.

Xu Dong nodded: "Let's go, I personally sent them to the high-speed rail station."

"Alas! What a pity Xiao Wang. I heard that the robber was younger than Xiao Wang. Why do you think this is so troublesome? Two young people were ruined at once." Gao Yuemei said regretfully.

"This kind of person is not worthy of sympathy. He is young and cannot do anything bad. He must come out to rob and harm others and himself." Colleague Lao Chen looked very angry.

Xiang Xin added in a low voice:

"I heard that the robber also lost his job and couldn't even afford to eat. He finally came out to rob because he had no other choice. As a result, he died the first time."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately became silent, but the silence did not last long and was soon broken by colleague Lao Jin.

"Why do I feel that security has deteriorated a lot in recent times? In my community, more than a dozen bicycles were stolen last month, and there was also a burglary. It's scary."

Xiang Xin echoed: "Yes, several bicycles have been lost in our community. Some thieves even steal cars parked on the roadside. They are not so courageous."

"Let me tell you, it's better for everyone to be careful when going out in the future. Don't go to places with few people, especially at night. After eight o'clock, try to stay home as much as possible." Gao Yuemei looked worried.

"Sister Gao is right, we should go out for a walk less often if we have nothing to do." Xu Dong agreed.

"That's right. There is no safety at home."

"Oh, I also want to take my family to the western suburbs during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. It seems I need to think about it again."

For a moment, people in the office were panicked!

After two days of this, the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived.

The power company finally showed its kindness this time and gave out some holiday benefits, including a box of mooncakes, a two-pound bottle of cooking oil, and a ten-pound bag of rice.

Among them, edible oil is the most popular and the most expensive.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is a bit special. It happens to fall on the same day as Teachers' Day, and the next day is a Sunday. Together, we can have just two days off.

Early in the morning on September 10, just after seven o'clock, Xu Dong was urged to get up by his wife, and the twins were also woken up at the same time.

As for why you got up so early?

Of course, I had a mission. To put it bluntly, I was going to Keke and her class teacher's house to deliver gifts. There were few people there early in the morning, so as not to be seen and have a bad impact.

As for the address of the class teacher's home, Yang Lina had already found out in the class group. It was on the edge of the East Fourth Ring Road, not far from the courtyard house, and it only took ten minutes to drive there.

As for the Teacher's Day gift, the couple had planned it last night. They simply brought all the employee benefits from the power company, plus a basket of home-grown fresh vegetables. It was definitely a big gift.

After breakfast, the father and daughter set off immediately. Following the navigation, they soon arrived at the homeroom teacher's house.

"Ding dong..." Xu Dong pressed the doorbell.

"Crack!"

The person who opened the door was the head teacher himself. The twins cupped their hands and shouted together as they had rehearsed:

"Teacher Ding, I wish you a happy Teacher's Day and a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

Teacher Ding smiled and welcomed the father and daughter into the house. As he walked, he said, "You are Coco and Lele's father. If I remember correctly, you were the one who brought them to register last year."

"Teacher Ding, you have such a good memory."

"It's not that I have a good memory, it's that your daughters are so impressive that it's hard to remember them."

Teacher Ding is in his forties this year. He doesn't look old-fashioned at all, but he is very funny.

After getting to know each other for a while with Teacher Ding’s family, the father and daughter found an excuse to leave before they had sat there for five minutes.

After all, it’s a big holiday, so it’s enough to get over it in a few minutes, so there’s no need to take up too much time from both parties.

Besides, as long as the courtesy is there, everything else is empty. Looking at Teacher Ding's face, you can tell that the other party is extremely satisfied.

After returning home, Xu Dong read a novel for a while, and at eleven o'clock, he accompanied his father to the store again.

Although today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, many employees still choose to work overtime voluntarily.

After all, their wages are basically all based on commissions. Now everyone is living in a difficult situation. Working one more day can also earn them an extra salary.

As the boss of the company, Xu's father certainly cannot fail to express his feelings. Look, the father and son carried a large thermos bucket into the store.

"Uncle Ming, Brother Xu, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, what are you doing?" Ma Jun asked with a puzzled look.

Looking at everyone's curious eyes, Xu's father took a breath and explained with a smile:

"Everyone has worked hard. Isn't today Mid-Autumn Festival? I asked my family to boil a bucket of mung bean soup and brought it here to relieve everyone's summer heat."

The mung bean soup was boiled by Xu's mother and Yang Lina early in the morning. They added sugar and ice cubes. It was a full bucket, enough for everyone in the store to drink.

"Long live the boss."

"Thank you, Uncle Ming!"

...

In the evening, the old Xu family had a sumptuous Mid-Autumn dinner, and then the whole family sat in the yard together to eat moon cakes and watch the moon.

Yang Lina learned to make mooncakes by following short videos. Although they don’t look very good, they taste pretty good. The whole family likes to eat them.

“Dad, the moon is so round tonight!” Keke pointed at the moon and said.

“Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Mooncakes are round, and of course the moon is round too.” Xu Dong said and took a bite of the mooncake.

Lele stood up and showed off: “Dad, I can recite ancient poems about the moon. I’ll recite them to you.”

“Okay, Dad is listening!”

“The moonlight shines brightly in front of the bed, and I suspect it is frost on the ground. I look up at the moon and think of my hometown.”

“Pa pa pa…” Everyone applauded together.

Hearing the applause, Lele raised his little head high, so proud!

Keke also wanted to show off in front of his family: “Dad, Dad, I can recite it too.”

“Okay, Keke, come and sing one too.” Xu Dong encouraged.

“When I was young, I didn’t know the moon, and I called it a white jade plate.

I also suspected it was a mirror on the Yaotai, flying in the blue sky.”
