My courtyard shelter

"Don't worry about Keke, we have done a good job of her ideological work."

Xu Dong paused and said earnestly:

"You also know that she has been single for these years, which means that she still has you in her heart. You should take the initiative and try to remarry before the end of the year."

"Dad, I will work hard."

Fang Qi's confidence increased immediately.

"There is another thing I want to remind you." Xu Dong then advised: "Keke will not give up her career. I hope you two can learn from the lesson. Before remarrying, you must solve the problem of mutual trust first."

Fang Qi nodded solemnly.

The father-in-law is right. This is the root of all the problems between the couple. If these problems are not solved, conflicts will break out sooner or later.

In addition, there is also the problem of work.

In fact, on the way back, he had secretly made up his mind. If it really doesn't work, he is willing to sacrifice his career and change to a job like logistics.

This way, he can spend more time with his son.

Next, the father-in-law and son-in-law talked a lot.

Xu Dong taught the other party some of his life experiences, such as: how to build mutual trust between husband and wife? Dealing with the relationship between work and life? How to educate children?

He still has a lot to say in this regard.

Fang Qi also talked about his work experience in the Philippines and his idea of ​​changing jobs.

Xu Dong waved his hand on the spot: "You have learned medical skills for so many years, it would be a pity to give up.

I think the job can be retained as long as you can ensure a normal work and rest schedule. There are always endless patients to see, so there is no need to work too hard."

He knew very well that the reason why his eldest daughter chose Fang Qi was because of his ambition and love for medicine. Everything is better than too little.

"I understand."

Fang Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to give up his career unless it was absolutely necessary.

Before ending the conversation, Xu Dong finally said:

"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. You can take Hanghang back to meet his grandmother and ask Keke's opinion. She takes Hanghang to see your mother every month. I think she will not refuse."

"Thank you, Dad!"

Fang Qi hurriedly thanked him.

If his father-in-law didn't speak, he really didn't have the face to take the initiative to make this request.

"Okay, we are a family, so let's make good use of this opportunity and try to have a good start."

Xu Dong waved his hand.

...

In the evening, Fang Qi personally sent his wife and children back to the gate of the manor. After an afternoon of getting along, the tension between the two has improved significantly.

"Do you want to come in and have a drink of water before going back?"

"Don't bother me. I'll come to visit you again when I get back from my business trip." Fang Qi shook his head.

Keke didn't comment and patted her son's shoulder casually: "Son, say goodbye to Dad."

"Goodbye, Dad."

The little guy rushed over and hugged his father tightly.

"Dad will be back soon. Hanghang must listen to mom and grandpa and grandma at home, okay?" Fang Qi urged.

"Hanghang will."

"So good." Fang Qi said, and took out a big toy box from the trunk of the car, "This is a gift from dad. Don't you like building blocks? This is the latest model of 'Guanghan Palace'."

After the little guy took the gift, he didn't rush to open it, but asked crisply:

"Dad, where is mom's gift?"

Fang Qi rubbed his son's head, took out a small gift box from his pocket, and slowly handed it to his ex-wife.

"Fizhou jewelry is quite cheap. I helped you choose a pair of earrings. I don't know if you like it?"

Little Hanghang hurriedly urged: "Mom, please accept it quickly, so that we both have gifts."

Keke hesitated for a while, and finally took the jewelry box. On the one hand, she didn't want to disappoint her son, and at the same time, she really made up her mind to give her ex-husband another chance.

Seeing that the other party accepted the gift, Fang Qi was as excited as a big boy, as if he had returned to the passionate days of love.

"Go back and drive slowly, Hanghang has to go to school tomorrow, we won't take you to the airport."

Coco whispered.

Fang Qi nodded, hugged his son for the last time, looked at Coco again, turned around and left.

After the mother and son entered the door, little Hanghang immediately took the toy box and went to show off to his brothers and sisters, although his grandfather had already built a simulated moon base in the yard according to a one-to-one ratio.

But after all, this was a gift from his father.

The meaning is different.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the old Xu family started to eat dinner.

The families of Xu Bin and Xu Ting arrived one after another. Because of Xu's mother, everyone would come to the manor to get together every New Year and festival.

Speaking of which, dinner and lunch are almost two different modes. Probably without the presence of "outsiders", the little guys have returned to their nature one by one.

With eighteen children in his family, plus Little Lion and others, you can imagine how noisy the scene is.

Especially the little ones, who cry at the slightest provocation.

Xu Dong quickly finished a bowl of rice, then greased his feet and hid directly in the study. According to his usual experience, the house would not be quiet for an hour or two.

The only thing he could do was to not see it and not be annoyed.

After dinner, Coco followed her younger sister back to the courtyard. Among the five siblings, the other four lived in big villas, and only Lele's family lived in a courtyard.

It was not until ten o'clock in the evening, when the children were asleep, that the two sisters had some free time. They simply picked a guest room and planned to have a long talk all night.

Lele specially brewed a pot of coffee to refresh herself.

Coco took a sip of the coffee and immediately said with emotion: "Little sister, I actually let you grow coffee. Is the yield high? Can you give me some?"

"This thing is difficult to serve. It took me two or three years to gain experience. This year is the first time it has borne fruit. I don't grow much here. At most, I can give you two cans of coffee beans, which are about five or six kilograms!"

"Five or six kilograms is fine, thank you."

"We are sisters, why thank you?"

Lele smiled and waved her hand.

"Then I won't be polite." Coco took another sip of coffee, and then changed the subject: "Little sister, to be honest, I envy your current life. You can take care of the children when you have something to do, and plant the land when you have nothing to do. How great!"

"Bullshit! If I had known that raising children would be so troublesome, I shouldn't have had so many children, and even my career was abandoned. I envy you for being able to pursue your career and do what you like."

Lele suddenly exploded.

Coco immediately put down the cup in her hand and said with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you stimulated?"

"Sister, it turns out that I am a loser in grandpa's eyes." Lele said very frustrated.

During this period, she has been brooding over it.

"Who said that?" Coco asked quickly.

Lele sighed and repeated what Xiaohuzi said.

After hearing this, Keke quickly comforted him, "No, you are probably overthinking it. Although grandpa is a bit old-fashioned, he treats the five of us equally..."

"Then how do you explain this?"

Lele insisted.

"No need to explain at all! Don't forget that grandpa agreed with Erbao being a policeman and Xiaobao doing scientific research. If I were to say, Dabao is the victim. He has no choice but to take over his father's job."

"Uh...hasn't he been interested in business since he was a child? Otherwise, he wouldn't work so hard."

Lele hesitated.

"This is related to the guidance of grandpa since childhood, and it may not be his original intention. You have seen Dabao's current life. Don't you think he is very tired?"

Lele scratched his head: "Did I really misunderstand?"

"Absolutely, Dabao is the eldest grandson. According to traditional concepts, he must inherit the family business, so grandpa has high hopes for him.

Besides, dad has set up a family trust, and the five of us siblings have inherited similar properties. In other words, Dabao is now working for us."

"Okay, even if what you said makes sense."

Lele thought it through instantly.
