My courtyard shelter

When they arrived at the parking lot, Xu Ting looked at her brother's new car and couldn't help but say "sourly":

"Wow! He even changed his car to a Mercedes-Benz. He is indeed rich and rich. Reading"

After saying that, she gave a thumbs up.

Xu Dong was too lazy to pay attention to her. What's wrong with being rich? It's not illegal to be rich.

Ma Jie immediately resolved the embarrassment, "Dongzi, how much did you buy this car?"

"Brother-in-law, it cost a total of 5.58 million." Xu Dong replied.

Xu Jingyi took a breath and said, "It's really expensive!"

"Don't be envious. Let your nephew-in-law buy you a car of the same model in the future." Xu Dong couldn't help but tease.

Everyone laughed kindly, only Xu Jingyi blushed.

During the New Year, Yanjing was more congested than usual because of the Winter Olympics.

When they returned to the courtyard, it was already past two in the afternoon. Xu Ma and others received a call and greeted them at the door.

Ma Lingling was the first to jump out of the car, and she said quickly: "Grandma, Grandpa, Happy New Year! Happy New Year to my aunt! Coco, Lele, Happy New Year!"

Mother Xu stepped forward and held her granddaughter's hand, looked at her carefully, and smiled: "Good...good...good...you have grown taller and prettier."

After getting off the car, Xu Ting greeted Father Xu. Seeing that her father was in high spirits and spoke with full energy, she thought that the two elders should be living well here, and she was relieved.

Seeing that everyone was only concerned with reminiscing about the past, Yang Lina hurriedly said: "Everyone, hurry up and go inside. It's cold outside. According to the weather forecast, it will only be 7 or 8 degrees during the day today."

"Yes, hurry up and go inside, don't let the children get cold. Look at my brain. I was so happy to see you that I was confused." Mother Xu "blamed herself".

"Mom, it's okay. Lingling and the others are young people with hot tempers and are not afraid of the cold." Xu Ting comforted.

Before entering the yard, a young dog barked. After Xu's father scolded him, the dog immediately quieted down.

After entering the yard, the first feeling of everyone was that the yard was really big, and the second feeling was why it was so choking?

"Mom, what did you pickle in this jar? Why does it smell like pepper?" Xu Ting asked directly.

Xu's mother rolled her eyes at Xu Dong and answered, "It's bacon. I pickled a little too much."

"How can this be a little too much? This is obviously too much..." Xu Ting began to count the large water jars: "1234567, I think there are at least one or two thousand kilograms here."

If you add the dried chickens and ducks hanging all over the yard, the number will be even greater.

"The market is very good recently, so I made more." Xu's mother explained.

She couldn't expose her family's shortcomings in front of her son-in-law. The older people get, the more they value face.

Xu Ting's eyes were full of envy. It seems that her mother's "business" is not just good, but super good.

She now has an impulse to stay and make dry goods with her mother. It doesn't matter if she is tired, the key is to really make money!

But when she thinks of her two children who are still studying, she can only suppress this idea.

Unless...

It's better not to say it, this opportunity is even more impossible.

After entering the living room, put down the gift.

Xu's mother hurriedly invited everyone to the restaurant to eat. The noodles were cooked according to the time, and it was just right at this time.

The noodles just out of the pot were poured with a large spoonful of steaming stir-fried donkey meat. The soup was thick and the meat was tender, which made people very appetizing at first sight.

"Eat a bowl of noodles first to fill your stomach, and grandma will make delicious food for you in the evening." Xu's mother said politely.

"Grandma's noodles are the most delicious. I want to eat another bowl." Ma Lingling ate noodles while flattering Xiao Ma.

Xu's mother was very happy, "If it tastes good, eat more, grandma's meat is enough."

...

After eating noodles, Xu's father, as the nominal head of the family, began to take his son-in-law to visit the courtyard, and Xu Dong accompanied him.

As for Yang Lina, she took the Coco sisters and three younger generations shopping, and they must have brought a lot of bags when they came back.

On the other side, Xu Ma pulled Xu Ting, and the mother and daughter hid in the bedroom to talk in private, while taking care of the triplets.

"Call auntie!" Xu Ting teased Erbao.

"Gugu, Gugu..."

"Hehe, Erbao is so good." Xu Ting kissed Erbao, and turned to Xu Ma and asked: "Mom, when did Erbao learn to call people?"

"Not long after their first birthday, they learned it. Xiaobao learned the fastest, while Dabao, the eldest brother, was the slowest." Xu Ma knew everything.

"Dabao and the others have grown up a lot. How much do they weigh now?"

"We just weighed them yesterday. Dabao and Xiaobao are both a little over 9 jin. Erbao is a little lighter, but he is also 8 jin and 4 liang."

"Can they walk?"

"Dabao can walk a little, but Erbao and Xiaobao need someone to help them."

After talking about some interesting things that happened to the triplets, Xu Ting turned the topic to Xu's mother.

"Mom, are you and my dad... used to living in this courtyard?"

"What's wrong? It's much easier than when we were in Luyang. There are many rooms at home, so we don't have to squeeze together. There is heating in winter, and the yard is big. We don't even have to go out for a walk." Xu's mother replied with a smile.

Xu Ting envied: "Such a big courtyard, I want to move in and live with you."

Although she knew her daughter was joking, Xu's mother couldn't help but remind her:

"Can the son-in-law agree? Live a good life and don't make trouble!"

"I'm just joking..." Xu Ting said depressedly.

Thinking that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, she is no longer a family with her parents.

Mother Xu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How many days will you stay this time?"

"Ma Jie has asked for leave until the 13th, and can only stay for four days at most."

"However, let Ma Jie go back first, and you and Lingling can stay for a few more days!" Xu's mother suggested.

Xu Ting shook her head and explained: "No, Mom, you forgot that Lingling and the others will start school after the 15th, so it's better to go back together."

"Oh, look at my memory." Xu's mother smiled bitterly.

As they chatted, the topic fell on Xu Dong.

Xu Ting took the initiative to ask: "Mom, what's wrong with my little brother? It's not a good thing to hang around like this all day long?"

Xu's mother was also worried: "Who said it wasn't? If he keeps hanging around like this, he will learn bad things sooner or later."

"What does my dad think?"

"What can your dad think now? He is now devoted to the convenience store, and he can't control Dongzi." Xu's mother sighed.

"Will the convenience store continue to open?"

Speaking of opening a store, Xu's mother became excited: "Yes, it will. Before the Chinese New Year, Dongzi took your father to see several stores. I heard from Dongzi that the contract will be signed after the Lantern Festival."

"Didn't the convenience store say that it didn't make much money?" Xu Ting asked in confusion.

"It didn't make money before, but now it can make money by selling local chickens and eggs. If it doesn't make money, your father will never agree to continue to open the store."

What Xu's mother didn't know was that the convenience store was able to make money now because Xu Dong privately subsidized it by more than 100,000 yuan.

For example, every time Xu Dong sold a local chicken to the convenience store, he would lose dozens of yuan.

Xu Ting whispered secretly: "Mom, how much money can the convenience store make in a month now?"

Xu's mother didn't shy away and raised three fingers: "Almost 30,000 yuan."

"Huh, that's 360,000 yuan a year, which is really a lot." Xu Ting envied again.
