My courtyard shelter

Bai Li's home is a bit far away, in the Daxin District, which is a place that connects urban and rural areas.

Because it was the first time to visit.

Datou brought a lot of gifts, including two bottles of wine that Xu Dong gave him to congratulate him on his successful proposal, and ten kilograms of corn flour that he saved himself.

Added together, it was nearly 20,000 yuan, and the key is that you can't buy these things even if you have money.

When he arrived at Bai Li's house, Datou was really surprised. The house was too messy, even more exaggerated than their security dormitory.

There was also a pile of shit in the corner of the room. I don't know which naughty kid did it. I didn't have time to clean it up, just covered it with coal slag.

As mentioned earlier, there are a total of seven people in Bai Li's family, two rooms, one for the men and one for the women with children.

As for the couple's life, they can only do it when there is no one during the day, or simply go to a small hotel outside.

Bai Li took Datou to her father and brother's room, which is also where they usually cook and eat.

The Bai family was very satisfied with their prospective son-in-law. After all, Datou was a native of Yanjing and had a relatively stable job, which was not bad.

What's more, he brought such a heavy gift, so we should give him face.

Dinner was ready, and Datou and his family started eating immediately.

For a family like the Bai family, whether it was a festival or not, whether the son-in-law came to visit or not, they would always have the same standard of food.

After all, there was no food in the house, and the food was rationed every day. If you ate too much, you would starve at the end of the month, and you might even die.

The staple food for dinner was multi-grain porridge. Put sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn flour, and half a bowl of wheat bran in a pot and boil them with water.

Wheat bran is exchanged for corn flour. One pound of corn flour can be exchanged for three and a half pounds of wheat bran. It is very popular in the market. Bai Li's family queued for several days before they could get ten pounds.

It's not that wheat bran is nutritious, but it's mainly difficult to digest and can resist hunger.

As for the side dishes, there are only pickles.

Bai Li helped Datou serve a bowl of grain porridge. Datou said he was full after eating a bowl. It's not that the grain porridge is unpalatable, but there is not much left in the pot.

Looking at the two pale and thin children, Datou really couldn't bear it.

After dinner, the family discussed marriage.

"Xiao He, is there anyone else in your family?" Bai's father asked.

The news that their daughter was going to get married, their family also said that they only knew about it in the afternoon, and it felt very sudden.

Datou said bitterly: "My parents divorced when I was in junior high school. One of them went to the south and the other went to nowhere. I haven't been in touch with them for a long time."

"He Kai was raised by her grandmother." Bai Li added.

"What about your grandmother?" Bai's mother interrupted.

"She died a few years ago, when I was still in college."

"Does your family have a house?" Bai's father asked.

Datou shook his head: "Our house is in the rural area of ​​the western suburbs, and it is not worth much. After my grandmother died, I sold all the houses. Half of the proceeds were used to pay off debts and the other half was used as living expenses."

"What about your land?"

"It was expropriated at the beginning of the year. They said they were going to build a fertilizer plant." Datou replied.

"How much did the land sell for?" Bai's mother asked excitedly.

"Fifty thousand per mu, a total of more than one hundred thousand yuan in compensation." Datou answered truthfully.

Bai Li's brother frowned: "Why is it so little?"

"It is an emergency now, and the expropriation price is this, there is no room for negotiation." Datou sighed.

"Where do you plan to live after you get married?" Bai's mother said worriedly.

Bai Li took over the conversation: "Mom, we will apply for public housing after we get married. He Kai was injured in the workplace before, which has extra points. There is absolutely no problem with public housing."

"How did he get injured?" Bai's mother asked with concern.

Datou quickly told the whole story. Although he said it simply, everyone could still feel the degree of danger.

"This job is too dangerous."

Bai's mother shook her head. She thought this job was good before, but now she is not satisfied.

"It's okay, Auntie! Such conflicts rarely happen. I just need to pay more attention next time."

Bai Li echoed: "Mom, He Kai is now in charge of more than ten people, and their leaders also value him very much. It's a pity for him to resign."

Unable to persuade their daughter, Bai's father and mother had to agree to their marriage.

After all, their daughter is not young anymore. With the conditions of their family, she really can't get married if she delays any longer.

Next, Bai's mother asked for a betrothal gift of 50,000 yuan, but she didn't dare to ask for more, mainly because she was afraid of losing both her money and her daughter. Her daughter was a very independent person.

Daha agreed without hesitation. He currently had a deposit of about 400,000 yuan, and this amount of betrothal gift was really nothing to him.

Finally, the wedding date was set on National Day.

…

October 2, Monday, today is the third birthday of the triplets.

At breakfast time, Xu's mother cooked longevity noodles for the three brothers, with vegetables, eggs, fish balls and a small piece of emperor goose meat in the noodles.

This year, their family didn't celebrate birthdays very often. When the sisters Keke celebrated their birthdays before, they also only ate a bowl of longevity noodles, and the rest was no different from usual.

After eating the noodles, Yang Lina gave each of the three brothers two pieces of fruit candy. Today was their birthday, so they had one more piece than usual.

Arriving at the kindergarten, Dabao pulled Niu Niu aside as usual, then took out the fruit candies and stuffed them all into Niu Niu's pocket.

"Niuniu, it's my birthday today, and my mother gave me two candies." Dabao said excitedly.

"Brother Dabao, it turns out today is your birthday!" Niu Niu looked surprised.

"Yes, if grandma doesn't tell me, I still don't know!"

Niu Niu took out a candy from her pocket: "Brother Dabao, I wish you a happy birthday, I'll treat you to some candy."

Dabao happily took the candy.

When Dabao wasn't paying attention, Niuniu stood up on tiptoes and kissed her friend on the cheek.

"Sister Niuniu, why did you kiss me?" Dabao touched his face and asked in confusion.

"When it's my birthday, my parents will kiss me. Brother Dabao, I'll kiss you too on your birthday." Niuniu said matter-of-factly.

"Oh, but daddy didn't kiss me this morning?"

"Maybe Uncle Xu forgot?" Niu Niu asked uncertainly.

"Then Erbao and Xiaobao also have their birthdays today. Niuniu, do you want to kiss them both too? Do you want to call them all over?"

Niuniu shook her head: "I only like Brother Dabao, but not Brother Erbao and Brother Xiaobao. They don't bring me delicious food."

"Well, it turns out you can only kiss someone if you like them. No wonder my grandma kisses me every day." Dabao nodded at first, and then said with enlightenment.

"My father also often kisses my mother." Niuniu gave an example.

"Niuniu, I want to kiss you when you celebrate your birthday, do you agree?" Dabao asked.

"OK!"

"So Niuniu, when is your birthday?"

"I have to go back and ask my mother to find out."
