My courtyard shelter

The next morning, it was just dawn. Reading

After eating the tomato and egg noodles made by Xu's mother, Xu Dong drove his sister and Ma Lingling back to Langfang.

Today is Monday, the adults have to go to work, and the children have to go to school.

The reason for driving is mainly because time is tight and it may not be in time to take the high-speed rail.

Besides, there are more things to bring back this time. Just one emperor goose weighs more than 60 kilograms.

And it’s hard to say whether this thing can pass the station security check. Xu Dong estimated that he might as well work hard and drive the three back.

Xu's mother picked up the last cardboard box, which was full of vegetables, just picked early in the morning, and was very fresh.

"Mom, let me do it!" Xu Ting quickly took the box.

Mother Xu wiped her hands and reminded: "Second son, remember to bring your son-in-law to my place for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is the second to last day of this month, and there are not many days left.

"Got it, Mom." Xu Ting nodded and agreed.

"Have you brought everything? See if there is anything left?"

Xu Ting shook her head: "Mom, I have brought everything."

"Sister, Lingling, Xiao Xu, get in the car quickly, it's time to drive." Xu Dong shouted from the driver's seat.

"Mom, we're leaving."

"Grandma, Grandpa, little aunt, goodbye!"

Mother Xu reminded: "Third son, drive slowly on the road, remember to call home when you arrive."

"Got it, let's go." Xu Dong stuck his head out of the window and waved to his parents.

The departure time is 6:10 in the morning.

At 7:30 in the morning, Xu Dong sent everyone there and helped carry all the luggage upstairs.

"Xiao Xu, good morning!"

An old lady next door just came downstairs to take out the trash, and when she met the group, she greeted them warmly.

"Good morning, Grandma Jiajia." Xu Ting nodded.

"Xiao Xu, what are you doing..."

"Oh, I just went back to my mother's house yesterday. This is my younger brother Xu Dong. He specially sent us back this morning." Xu Ting explained.

Xu Dong nodded at the other party.

"You went to Yanjing? Why don't you stay at your mother's house for a few more days?" Although Langfang has been assigned to Yanjing, Grandma Jiajia is still used to treating Yanjing and Langfang as different cities.

"I'm busy with work here, and Lingling and the others still have to go to school!" Xu Ting explained casually.

Xu Dong put away his luggage, came out to say hello to his sister and left. He had to go back to work.

Grandma Jiajia took the opportunity to take a look inside the door. She saw three or four large cardboard boxes in the living room. She knew at a glance that they were filled with good things.

Neighbors, who doesn't know that Xiao Xu's family has good living conditions? Every now and then, everyone can smell the faint aroma of meat.

I'm so envious!

...

After rushing to work, he finally didn't get late.

Just after punching in, Xu Dong was called into the office by Section Chief Li.

"Uncle Li, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Section Chief Li smiled and said, "The emperor goose meat was successfully put into the warehouse yesterday. You did a good job on this matter. The big boss is very satisfied."

"Nothing, it's all what I should do."

"Okay, don't be modest. In view of the recent severe security situation, the superiors have decided to add a deputy section chief to our security department. If nothing unexpected happens, you will take up this position."

Xu Dong was overjoyed: "Thank you Uncle Li, thank you General Manager Liao!"

Being a deputy section chief means that the position of section chief is stable, which is a pleasant surprise.

"Don't thank me, this is what you deserve. Go back and prepare well. I guess the personnel department will talk to you soon." Section Chief Li instructed.

"I understand."

After coming out of the section chief's office, Xu Dong was called to the Human Resources Department by Director Su not long after. After a routine conversation, the matter was basically settled.

After get off work, Xu Dong did not tell the news of the promotion. First, the official documents had not been issued yet to avoid unexpected situations; second, he wanted to give his family a surprise.

At this time, Xu's mother was boiling oil in the kitchen.

The refrigerator at home was almost full. In order to make room, only part of the fat could be processed first.

In the kitchen, the triplets were sitting in the dining room, watching their grandmother boiling oil in the kitchen. The little guys were watching with relish, and they didn't even notice that their father had returned.

Xu Dong touched the three brothers one by one.

"Hey, Dad is back."

"Dad, grandma is boiling oil, boiling a lot." Erbao pointed to a large wooden barrel at grandma's feet and said.

Xu Dong went forward to take a look. The large wooden barrel more than one meter high was almost full. It seemed that mom had been boiling for at least an afternoon.

"Mom, how much fat meat have you cooked?" Xu Dong asked.

"About 70 or 80 kilograms, this emperor goose meat produces a lot of oil."

"With so much oil, our family can't finish it all in a short time?"

Xu's mother shook her head: "It's okay, I'll sell 30 kilograms to your Aunt Wang when the time comes. Didn't she want to ask you to buy some artificial oil before?"

"Mom, it's artificial butter." Xu Dong corrected.

"They are almost the same. Look how fragrant this emperor goose oil smells. It must be better than butter."

Xu Dong also had this idea a long time ago, but he didn't expect his mother to think of it. Aunt Wang's family now lives in a public rental housing with poor privacy, so it's a bit inappropriate to send meat.

When the meat is stewed, it's estimated that the whole community can smell it, but there will be no problem with sending oil.

"Mom, has Aunt Wang rented a house?"

Xu's mother nodded: "I've rented it. It's still in the Xiangxie Family Community. A two-bedroom house with one living room, the monthly rent is less than 3,000 yuan."

"So cheap?" Xu Dong said in surprise.

"It originally cost more than 5,000, but your Aunt Wang did a great favor to the landlord. They refused to charge rent at first, but in the end they managed to charge half the price."

Xu Dong nodded, and then changed the subject: "Mom, how much do you plan to sell this emperor goose oil per kilogram?"

"Uh, how about a hundred yuan a pound?"

"No, Aunt Wang's family is not short of money, and their family is an official. I think it's only 2,000 yuan per pound. The price shouldn't be too outrageous." Xu Dong suggested.

"Okay, it's up to you. I'll call her tonight."

Xu Dong looked at the basin full of oil residue next to him. He was afraid that his mother would waste it, so he said something more: "Mom, what are you going to do with these oil residues?"

"Oil residue is a good thing, it's most suitable for making fish balls." Xu Ma said with a smile.

"Making fish balls? Is this possible?"

"It's absolutely no problem. Mom has made it before. You ate it when you were a kid and have forgotten about it?" Xu's mother said confidently.

"Who still remembers this!" Xu Dong shook his head.

Xu Ma turned around and shouted to her grandchildren: "Dabao, Erbao, Xiaobao, grandma will make fish balls for you to eat tomorrow, okay?"

"good!"

"Grandma, I'll help you make fish balls tomorrow." Dabao quickly expressed his opinion.

"Dabao is so good!"

"Grandma, I'll help you make fish balls."

"And even..."

Xu's mother looked pleased: "Okay, you three are all grandsons of grandma."
