My courtyard shelter

Halfway through the dinner, Section Chief Li talked about his past marriage:

"Xiao Xu, do you think I'm fickle? I'm so old, but I still married your aunt?"

Xu Dong shook his head again and again: "How is it possible, Uncle Li, you and your aunt have such a good relationship, and there is no age difference in love."

No matter what you think in your heart, you should say this, otherwise you will offend people to death.

"Well said!" Section Chief Li raised his teacup and clinked it with Xu Dong, "You should have heard from Lao Gao and others that I have another daughter, who is only two years younger than you."

Xu Dong nodded. Section Chief Li's daughter is called Ning Yuanyuan, and she is said to have taken her mother's surname since birth.

"Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. I almost married into my ex-wife's family back then. Their family is well-off. I usually have no status at home..."

Xu Dong didn't expect that Section Chief Li actually had such a bitter past.

"After the divorce, I wanted to have a child with my last name, either a daughter or a son. At that time, your aunt Li had just divorced, and we met through a blind date."

"What happened next?" Xu Dong asked in cooperation.

"Of course, we got married later. Your aunt is a very good person. She always encouraged me and accompanied me to the hospital for a check-up.

Fortunately, hard work pays off, and we finally have our own child.

Even if I die in the future, your aunt will have someone to rely on, and it will not be in vain for us to be a couple."

Section Chief Li looked affectionate.

Xu Dong quickly persuaded: "Uncle Li, what nonsense are you talking about? With your health, you can have a grandson."

"Haha, I do think so, but I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day!"

Both of them subconsciously ignored Ning Yuanyuan, mainly because the relationship between father and daughter was really bad.

After dinner, Section Chief Li took Xu Dong into the study.

"Uncle Li, what are you doing? It's getting late, I should go back." Xu Dong evaded.

Section Chief Li smiled and said, "It won't take much time. I have some good cigarettes and good wine here. You can pick some and take them back."

"No need..."

"Why not? I know the rules of Panjiayuan better than you do. In this world, no real money is as good as cigarettes and wine."

Finally, at Section Chief Li's insistence, Xu Dong took ten famous cigarettes and five boxes of famous wine, as well as a large number of precious supplements such as cordyceps, shark fins, red ginseng and deer antlers.

By the way, the turbot was also packed and taken away by Xu Dong.

For his wife and unborn child, Section Chief Li definitely spent a lot of money this time.

...

When he got home, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

Xu's mother and father were old and couldn't stay up late, so they had already gone to bed. Only Yang Lina was still waiting for her husband in the living room.

Hearing the car horn, Yang Lina ran to the garage and complained:

"Why are you so late?"

"I chatted with the old leader for a few more words, and accidentally talked too much." Xu Dong apologized.

"Didn't you find a designated driver? Why are you so good this time and didn't drink?"

Xu Dong opened the trunk of the car and took things out while explaining: "The old leader is going to be a father, and he can't drink even if he wants to!"

"Who cares about your Section Chief Li?" Yang Lina's eyes widened.

Xu Dong nodded: "Yes, in fact, his wife is not very old, only in her thirties."

"Hmph..."

"Okay, come and help me take the things down. I got a lot of good things this time."

Yang Lina glanced at the trunk and said in surprise: "Where did these things come from?"

Xu Dong took the opportunity to repeat Section Chief Li's commission.

"You are really a fool. You dare to agree to anything. Your section chief's wife can't touch meat at all. Isn't it so easy to solve?"

Yang Lina was speechless.

"I've thought about it on the way back, don't worry." Xu Dong promised with a smile.

"Look at you showing off." Yang Lina couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Xu Dong handed the bag of turbot to his wife: "Put the fish in the refrigerator quickly."

"Why is there still fish?"

"The leader's wife can't eat it, so we have to give it to our family." Xu Dong said proudly.

"You are really good..." Yang Lina was simply laughing and crying.

The next day at noon, Xu's mother braised the turbot, and the whole family had a delicious meal.

During the vacation, Xu Dong was not idle.

He went to Panjiayuan several times and sold all the food and drinks that were about to expire in the house, in exchange for most of the dried seafood.

In the past two months, seafood has not been easy to buy on the market, and it is often hard to find it. It's just the right opportunity to stock up a batch of goods.

On the third night, Xu Dong came to Chief Li's house again at the agreed time, bringing carefully prepared nutritional supplements.

Because there were too many things, the two of them went back and forth three times before they moved everything up.

Looking at the cartons on the table, Xu Dong said:

"I don't know which one Auntie likes, so I got some of each and tried it first. If it really works, I'll try to get more later."

"Xiao Xu, you are still thoughtful." Section Chief Li praised.

Aunt Li opened the carton in front of her and said in surprise: "Why are there watermelons at this time?"

"Grown in the greenhouse." Xu Dong said vaguely.

"Is it okay for pregnant women to eat watermelons?" Section Chief Li was a little worried.

Xu Dong quickly comforted her: "It's okay. I asked my wife. Pregnant women can eat watermelon, but it's best not to ice it or eat too much at one time."

"It's good as long as it's edible." Aunt Li said happily.

Next, Xu Dong opened all the cartons and introduced them one by one:

"This is honey. I asked someone to check it. It's definitely real honey. Auntie, when you want to vomit, you can try honey water to see if it works."

Section Chief Li nodded. Honey is a good thing. It seems that Xiao Xu really put in a lot of effort.

"This is donkey-hide gelatin dates. It can replenish energy, replenish qi and blood, and increase appetite. It should also be eaten in moderation."

Aunt Li couldn't wait to taste it and liked it all at once.

"This box of tomatoes is freshly picked from the greenhouse. It's the freshest. Auntie should like the sour and sweet taste."

"This box is eggs. Eggs are the most nourishing, and you don't have to worry about over-nourishing."

Auntie Li couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Xu, you know so much!"

"I have many children in my family, all forced out." Xu Dong explained with a smile.

"Tell me, how many children do you have?" Auntie Li became interested.

Section Chief Li envied: "He has five children, a pair of twin daughters, and triplets, all sons."

These were all talked about when we chatted the day before yesterday.

"Xiao Xu, you and your wife are so lucky, I don't know what to say." Auntie Li said with emotion.

Xu Dong smiled and continued to introduce:

"This box contains some snacks. Auntie can use them to fill her stomach when she has no appetite."

"This box contains egg cakes made by my wife. I wonder if they suit Auntie's taste?"

Yang Lina took the initiative to add the egg cakes. Sometimes things made by hand can often touch people's hearts more. Yang Lina sees this more clearly.
