My courtyard shelter

The morning passed quickly.

At noon, Dad Xu went home to get lunch and took it directly back to the office.

"Keke, Lele, go wash your hands and eat."

"Oh, Grandpa, did Grandma make braised sea cucumber today?" Lele asked excitedly.

The braised sea cucumber tasted chewy and chewy, and the two sisters liked it at once.

Dad Xu touched his granddaughter's scalp: "I made it. I've been eating it for several days. Don't you get tired of it?"

"I'll never get tired of it in my lifetime." Lele said with her head held high.

"Little rascal, have you forgotten what you said when you ate shrimp?" Dad Xu joked.

"Well, dried shrimp doesn't count. I like to eat fresh lobsters." Lele "argued" and ran to wash her hands.

After washing her hands, Dad Xu had already set the meal.

Today is the twins' festival, and Mom Xu specially cooked two more dishes than usual, a total of five dishes and one soup, with both meat and vegetables, and a very balanced nutrition.

Seeing that the food was quite large, Xu's father called Ye Hui and asked her to come over for dinner.

Ye Hui refused at first, but couldn't bear it, so Xu's father personally went over to invite her over.

"Auntie Ye, I'll serve you some rice." Keke was very sensible.

Ye Hui nodded to express her gratitude, but looking at the table of food made her a little confused. The living standard of this family was too high!

The six dishes were braised sea cucumber, braised dried shrimp, fried fish fillet, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried water spinach, and finally a big bowl of seaweed egg drop soup.

Xu's father specially explained: "Today is Children's Day, and her grandmother made it more sumptuous."

"No wonder."

Ye Hui uttered two dry words, not only sumptuous, but also luxurious.

"Grandpa, can we eat?" Lele couldn't wait to hold the bowl of rice.

Xu's father nodded.

Lele first picked up a large sea cucumber for himself, and then picked up another for his grandfather.

"My Lele is so filial." Dad Xu looked pleased.

Keke also picked up a piece of fish fillet for Grandpa: "Grandpa, Grandma said you should eat less meat and more fish."

"Okay, Grandpa eats fish, Mr. Ye, you should also pick up your chopsticks!"

Ye Hui picked up a piece of tomato.

Dad Xu couldn't bear it, so he directly brought the fried fish fillet to the other party. Ye Hui couldn't refuse, so she had to pick up a piece of fish fillet.

Lele followed his grandfather and picked up a sea cucumber for Aunt Ye: "Aunt Ye, eat sea cucumber, sea cucumber is delicious."

"Thank you, Lele, Auntie can do it herself."

After the meal, Ye Hui almost ate too much. She hadn't eaten such a good meal for a long time. The key is that it is full of oil and water. This feeling is too happy.

"Mr. Ye, have a cup of tea to get rid of the greasiness."

Dad Xu poured a cup of black tea for the other party. This set of tea set was given by his son a few days ago, and he liked it very much.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Ye Hui quickly took the teacup.

The tea was good, and Ye Hui drank three cups of tea in a row.

Seeing that Ye Hui liked it, Xu's father stuffed a can of tea directly into her hands. He had a lot of experience recently on how to win people's hearts.

After Ye Hui left, the twins were going to take a nap. There was a mattress in the office, so they could sleep on the floor.

Xu's father raised the air conditioner temperature by two degrees to prevent the granddaughters from catching a cold.

They slept until three o'clock in the afternoon.

The afternoon time basically repeated the morning time. In addition to reading and doing homework, the twins also went to the company's employee activity center to play billiards for a while.

At six o'clock in the evening, Xu's father took the granddaughters off work on time, and the day was basically over.

...

It was the weekend, and the colleagues from the security department met at the south gate of the company as agreed.

"Uncle Li, this is the nutrition you want."

Xu Dong handed the bag in his hand to Section Chief Li. The bag contained eggs. In order to prevent the eggs from breaking, he also made two egg trays.

Section Chief Li took the bag and asked casually, "What's it?"

"Nothing, I exchanged it for 22 eggs."

Sister Feng came over immediately:

"Good stuff, it's not easy to get some eggs now, Xiao Xu, where did you get these eggs?"

"Panjiayuan, exchanged with corn flour." There was nothing to hide, Xu Dong answered truthfully.

"How did you exchange it?"

Sister Feng asked, she had long wanted to exchange some nutritional supplements for her grandson, but she had never found a way.

"One egg for two kilograms of corn flour."

Sister Feng was a little shocked: "This is too expensive!"

"The current market situation is like this." Xu Dong spread his hands.

"Oh, I can't afford it!" Sister Feng sighed.

Although their family has stockpiled thousands of kilograms of food, they still have to support their two daughters, especially the eldest daughter's family of five, and they have always lived a tight life.

Now, their family has less than 700 kilograms of food left, and it is impossible to spend as lavishly as before.

In addition, the drought is getting worse.

Section Chief Li took out two eggs from his bag and stuffed them directly into the other party's pocket: "Here, don't cry poor in front of everyone, we are all the same."

"Thank you, Section Chief!" Sister Feng happily took the eggs.

Others were very tempted, but they were all grown men and wanted to save face, so they really couldn't bring themselves to do it.

"Xiao Xu, next time there are eggs, please help me get them directly, I am also short of eggs now." Section Chief Li ordered.

"I'll make a note of it." Xu Dong nodded.

He hadn't sent eggs to the other party for several months. To be honest, he didn't have many eggs in his home, so how could he bear to give them away?

Mainly because Dabao and his three friends had three boiled eggs every morning without fail, plus the eggs they used for cooking, so they really couldn't save a few eggs.

Moreover, even if they saved eggs, they had to help their sister's family from time to time, which was even more stressful.

"Xiao Xu, please keep an eye on it for me too." Uncle Chen agreed. Occasionally, they could exchange two eggs for the children to replenish their bodies. Their family still had the conditions to do so.

"If there are any extra, please give me one too!" Everyone said in unison.

Xu Dong waved his hand to quiet everyone down: "Everyone knows that eggs are in short supply now. I can only ask for you. It depends on luck if there are any."

He planned to contact Mr. Li, the brother-in-law of Mr. Duan and the person in charge of Yanjing, to see if the other party had any goods.

"Since Xiao Xu said so, don't worry, just wait for the news later." Section Chief Li comforted.

"Xiao Xu, thank you in advance."

"You're welcome. We're all colleagues. What's there to thank me for?"

After talking about the eggs, everyone got on Xu Dong's Mercedes-Benz. There were nine people in the security department, no more, no less, just enough space for everyone to sit.

This time we were going to visit colleagues, so there was no need to be so ostentatious.

On the way, everyone "showed off" the gifts they brought.

Xu Dong gave a basket of fresh vegetables;

Lao Fang gave five kilograms of rice;

Uncle Chen gave two kilograms of mung beans;

Sister Feng gave a potato cake she made herself, a full ten kilograms;

The gifts given by others were similar.

In general, as a member of the security department, everyone's life is pretty good, so they are so generous.
