My courtyard shelter

The day when the little seahorse was born was, by chance, the last day of 2038. The next day was New Year's Day of 2039, and the new year was about to begin.

Early in the morning, Xu Ma and others hurried back from the hospital. They missed the time last night, so they could only spend the night in a small hotel next to the hospital.

After all, curfew is no joke.

Yesterday, Xu Dong was so tired that he slept until ten o'clock in the morning. He was exactly fifty years old this year, and more than half of his life had passed. He was considered half an old man, so his energy was naturally not as good as before.

After washing up, he slowly wandered to the restaurant.

"Are you up? What do you want to eat? I'll ask Master Zhong to make it for you."

Yang Lina asked casually.

"Just make something." Xu Dong waved his hand, "When did you come back? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"I got home at around 8 o'clock in the morning. Lele said you were too tired, so I didn't disturb you."

"How is Enya?"

Xu Dong immediately asked with concern.

Zhang Enya is not only Ma Xu's wife, but also his goddaughter. He promised Aunt Zhang that he would take good care of her.

Yang Lina smiled and replied, "Don't worry, mother and child are safe. The little seahorse weighs seven pounds and it took more than five hours to come out. Enya suffered a lot."

"It's good that it's safe. I'll go to the hospital later."

"Mom is preparing a nutritious meal for Enya. You can go with her when the time comes!"

Yang Lina said and went into the kitchen.

After a while, she came over with a bowl of green pepper and shredded pork noodles and gently placed it in front of her husband:

"Is one bowl enough? If not, there's more in the pot."

"Enough, enough."

Smelling the fragrance of noodles, Xu Dong picked up his chopsticks and started eating. After more than two months on a business trip, what he missed most was the familiar smell of home.

In less than ten minutes, the noodle soup was all gone.

Xu Dong wiped his mouth: "By the way, where's Lele? Where did she go again?"

"She was clamoring to go to the hospital to see the baby early in the morning, and finally dragged Ji Yin, Jingyi, Lingling and Yang Shuo with her. The five of them went out together and haven't come back yet."

"Your belly is so big, and you're still so noisy?"

Xu Dong rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"It's all because of you..."

Yang Lina said angrily.

"Okay, I brought you some special products from Philippines. They are in the suitcase in the bedroom. Please help me deliver them to each household later."

Yang Lina nodded: "What are they? It won't be jewelry again, right?"

"Don't worry, although Philippines is rich in gold and gems, too many things are not valuable. There are no jewelry this time, mainly some food and daily necessities.

I also brought you several sets of high-end cosmetics. Don't you always complain that you can't buy good facial masks? This time there is a whole box of facial masks alone."

Xu Dong explained with a smile.

Don't forget, he still has a golden elephant weighing more than ten tons that has not arrived yet!

This thing can replace several boxes of gold and silver jewelry. Any jewelry will pale in comparison, so there is no need to do anything unnecessary.

"Spending money in vain again, the mask made by Lele is very useful..."

"Okay, if you don't need it, you can give it to Niuniu and the other three. It's inconvenient for them to come back once, so they will definitely need it."

Yang Lina quickly interrupted and said, "Forget about Niuniu, she can come back every month, just use the homemade mask at home."

"Wife, let me remind you that no matter what we elders do, we must treat everyone equally, and divide them equally, and never treat them differently."

"Okay, don't worry about this matter as a man, I know what's going on."

Yang Lina said impatiently.

Xu Dong couldn't persuade him anymore. Not long after he returned to the study, the eldest brother came to the door.

"Old Three, are you busy?"

"Nothing." Xu Dong turned off the laptop, "Old One, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xu Bin showed the passbook in his hand: "Are you free now? If you are free, can you accompany me to the bank and I will transfer the money to you."

"What's the hurry? Miao Miao is on vacation. I can prepare the share transfer contract after she comes back."

"The contract is not urgent. I'd better transfer the money to you first. You know I'm impatient. I'm always uneasy if I don't transfer the money for one day."

"Okay, let's go now!"

Xu Dong nodded helplessly, and then took the other party to the nearest Puhui Bank branch.

Although today is the New Year's Day holiday, it is not a big deal for VIP customers. As long as the customer calls, we are almost on call 24 hours a day.

Coming out of the bank, Xu Bin breathed a sigh of relief. This wave of market finally caught up with him.

In fact, he was not so anxious at first.

However, since yesterday afternoon, his phone has been ringing non-stop. Whether they know him or not, they are all trying to get close to him.

This group of people has a common goal, which is to get in touch with Lao San through him. He casually asked around and finally learned that "investing in the Philippines" has become a new outlet.

It seems to be quite popular.

In order to prevent things from changing, he hurriedly pulled Lao San to really confirm the matter.

It's not that he doesn't trust Lao San, but he is afraid of policy changes.

As long as the money is paid, even if the policy changes in the future, Lao San's character will definitely not let him suffer a loss. He has this confidence.

Back home, Xu Ma was about to go out.

Xu Dong hurriedly followed.

As for Xu Bin, he had already arranged a lunch at noon. He didn't mind the others, but he had to give face to his old friends.

…

In the hospital, a crowd of people gathered in front of Zhang Enya's bed. The girls chatted non-stop, and the atmosphere was so cheerful.

The "fellow patients" on the side had no opinions and would occasionally interject. They were bribed early in the morning. Five or six eggs, plus some soft and glutinous snacks, were a huge profit.

As soon as Xu's mother came in, she started to chase people away:

"Don't stay here, lunch is ready at home, go back and eat."

"Grandma, what delicious food did you bring?"

"Enya suffered a great loss yesterday, I stewed black chicken soup for her, this is the most nutritious."

Lele's eyes were sharp, and he immediately found his father behind his grandmother: "Dad, you are here too?"

"Well, your grandmother and I are here, you guys go back quickly, don't come again in the afternoon, let Enya have a good rest."

"Uncle, I'm in good spirits and don't need to rest." Zhang Enya quickly replied.

"Don't be stubborn, health is the most important."

Xu Dong walked over and looked at the little seahorse.

In two months, he will become a grandfather himself. Time flies so fast, and the moment of rebirth seems to be just before his eyes.

Ji Yin helped his wife stand up: "Then Dad, we'll go back first."

"Be careful on the road."

"Dad, aren't you going back for dinner?"

"I had breakfast at 10:30, I'm not hungry now, don't worry about me, let's go!"

Xu Dong waved his hand.

Soon, Lele and others left the ward one after another, and Xu Dong stepped forward and patted his nephew:

"Xiao Xu, I heard from Lele that you haven't been home for several days, take a shower now and come back."

Ma Xu was immersed in the happiness of being a father for the first time. Hearing this, he glanced at his wife and children, and then nodded.

"Tingting, Ma Jie, you two should go back with Xiao Xu, I didn't bring you two meals."

Mother Xu immediately followed and ordered.

It's understandable that the parturient eats well.

It's a bit too high-profile for the family members to eat big fish and meat every day. Before, except Ma Xu, Xu Ting and Ma Jie always went home on time for dinner.

As for Ma Xu, he basically ate his wife's leftovers.

This was also to avoid waste.

After everyone left, Xu's mother unscrewed the thermos bucket and poured a bowl of steaming chicken soup for Zhang Enya, which made the patients next door swallow their saliva.

"Be careful of the heat, drink slowly!"

Zhang Enya took the chicken soup with a smile on her face: "Grandma, you are so good to me!"

"Silly child, if grandma doesn't treat you well, who else can she treat well?" Xu's mother touched the other's hair.

"Uncle, do you want to hug the little seahorse?"

Zhang Enya suggested.

"Okay!" Xu Dong wanted to reach out after he finished speaking.

Xu's mother quickly patted her youngest son's arm:

"Don't move, I'll do it."

Although the third child is the father of five children, he is still far behind in terms of experience in raising children, even worse than the eldest child.

Xu's mother carefully picked up the baby from the crib, patted it gently, and then handed it to the third child's arms.

Xu Dong froze as he watched the little seahorse sleeping soundly, not daring to move at all.

Seeing this, Xu's mother couldn't help but nag, "You... don't always work, you should also learn how to take care of children. Lele and Nana will be busy one after another."

"Mom, don't you still have you!"

"I can only help you take care of two at most, I can't take care of the others, especially the three brothers of Dabao. When they have twins, what will you do?"

Xu's mother said unhappily.

Xu Dong returned the baby to his mother: "Mom, your son earns at least 100 million a day, how can I have the time to help them take care of the children? If not, just hire a nanny."

"How can a nanny be as attentive as our own family?"

"Then spend more money. I don't believe that you can't hire a professional nanny even if you have money?"

Zhang Enya ate a chicken wing and interrupted with a smile: "Uncle, don't you want to experience the fun of being a grandfather?"

"Well, one or two is okay, but your uncle is afraid of more. Lele and his five brothers and sisters made me and your aunt suffer a lot when they were young."

Xu Dong smiled bitterly.
