My courtyard shelter

Chapter 252 Xianbeilia

"How can we live in the sewer? Winter is coming soon. The temperature is dozens of degrees below zero. Adults can bear it, but children can't!"

"It's okay. We have a coal stove.

"You are risking your life. Coal stoves are not a joke. The sewer is not ventilated. If you get poisoned, you're doomed." Gao Yuemei scolded.

"Sister Gao, it's okay. The sewer is very large. It's not easy to get poisoned." Li Yanyi explained.

"That won't work either. I'll ask for you after get off work to see if there are any cheaper houses."

"Thank you so much, Sister Gao!"

"Don't thank me. I just feel sorry for your three children. Look at how thin they are. It's a sin." Gao Yuemei said distressedly.

Li Yanyi couldn't help crying: "It's all my fault that the child's father and I are incompetent. The children have suffered with us."

"Okay, it's all over. Life will definitely get better in the future. "Gao Yuemei comforted.

After a busy morning, it was time for lunch. After Xu Dong finished his meal, he went to the kitchen to take a look.

Li Yanyi was busy all over.

In the rest room, three children were eating with their bowls full of grain rice, and then poured with cabbage and tofu soup, which smelled delicious.

The three of them wolfed down the food, one spoonful after another, and ate it very seriously, for fear of dropping a grain of rice.

It was visible to the naked eye that the food in the bowl was drastically reduced.

Xu Dong was full He nodded in agreement and left silently. Being able to have a full meal is the greatest happiness. I hope the three little kids can cherish the next month.

After get off work, when the children were not out of school yet, Xu Dong took out a five-jin piece of fish from the refrigerator, picked a basket of vegetables, and set off again.

The destination was Section Chief Li's house.

Section Chief Li personally welcomed him in. Xu Dong put down the basket and went to see the baby.

"It's only been two months since I last saw you. The baby has grown so big!"

"Children grow fast and look different every day." Section Chief Li was full of smiles.

"How much does the baby weigh now?"

"Just weighed this morning, 8 jin. From birth to now, it has grown almost three jin."

After seeing little Li Tao, the two returned to the living room.

Aunt Li brought a cup of tea over and said with joy: "Xiao Xu, such a big piece of fish, auntie really thank you."

"It's okay, I was lucky this time."

"Xiao Xu, what do you want to exchange for this fish? "Section Chief Li took the opportunity to ask.

Xu Dong rubbed his hands: "Uncle Li, we are related, you can give it as you see fit."

"Xiao Xu is right, Lao Li, didn't someone give our family a bag of peanuts last time? Why don't we let Xiao Xu take it back!" Aunt Li suggested.

"Well, this is a good idea."

Section Chief Li nodded involuntarily. He had given a lot of favors because of the margarine and emperor goose meat incident before, and the peanuts were one of the return gifts.

"Aunt, Uncle Li, you should keep the peanuts for yourselves, I'll just take a few bottles of wine back." Xu Dong said politely.

"How can this work? It's settled! "

Xu Dong said a few more polite words before finally accepting the 50-jin bag of peanuts.

This trip was not in vain. Peanuts are good whether they are fried as snacks or made into peanut butter.

Although he had previously stockpiled 200 kilograms of peanuts, they were not durable and were eaten up in less than two years. Even if there are any left now, the shelf life is estimated to be almost over.

After leaving Section Chief Li's house, Xu Dong stopped by Director Cao's house and delivered this month's milk powder to him, and then brought back a trunk of supplements.

As soon as he got home, the children immediately surrounded him.

"Dad, why did you come back now?" Lele asked.

"Dad was delayed for a while because of something." Xu Dong opened the trunk of the car.

The children stretched their necks to look at the trunk.

"Dad, what is this? "Dabao pointed to a bundle of triangular translucent things and asked.

Lele rushed to answer: "Stupid Dabao, this is shark fin. Don't you like to eat vermicelli? Vermicelli is made of it."

Mother Xu made three-fresh hot pot several times before. The vermicelli in it was soaked with dried shark fin. The triplets all liked it very much, especially Dabao, who had to eat a big bowl every time.

"Second sister is bad. I am not stupid Dabao, I am good Dabao." Dabao retorted.

Xu Dong put the shark fin in the arms of his eldest son: "Okay, is grandma in the kitchen?"

"Yes, grandma is cooking." Dabao nodded.

"Be good, Dabao, go and give the shark fin to grandma." Xu Dong ordered.

"Yes!"

The little guy ran to the kitchen with a bundle of shark fins.

"Don't run, slow down!" Xu Dong reminded.

Lele opened the largest bag and said in surprise: "Dad, is this peanuts? ”

“What else can it be but peanuts? You and Coco carry the peanuts to the kitchen and let grandma fry them for you tomorrow.”

“No, I want peanut crisps. Mom can make peanut crisps.” Lele said coquettishly.

“Okay, let your mom make it for you.” Xu Dong waved his hand.

“Dad, when mom and I learn how to make peanut crisps, I will make them for you, okay?”

“Then you have to learn it seriously.” Xu Dong encouraged.

“Yes!”

It took Xu Dong half an hour to sort out everything. These supplements are very precious and the storage conditions cannot be sloppy.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the whole family was eating and watching the news.

Suddenly, an urgent news broadcast caught Xu Dong's attention. An unprecedented forest fire broke out in the Xianbeilia region of the Bear Country. The fire point stretched thousands of kilometers from west to east.

The news also showed a group of satellite photos. From the photos, it can be seen that more than half of the entire Xianbeilia region was shrouded in black smoke.

According to the forecast of the Meteorological Bureau, in the next one to two days, this thick smoke will move south rapidly with the westerly wind, and then affect the vast northern region.

And Yanjing is the first to bear the brunt.

The Xianbeilia region has dense forests, coupled with the long-lasting drought, this fire is actually inevitable.

Similar fires have broken out several times around the world, and even China has not been spared.

Later, countries around the world began to clean up forests. Instead of letting these trees burn in vain, it is better to use them to generate electricity, killing two birds with one stone.

However, the Bear Country and Canada are so sparsely populated, coupled with the severe cold and inconvenient transportation, no matter how many people there are, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Watching the news, Xu Dong suddenly opened his memory box. He remembered that the fire seemed to have lasted for several months, but because Luyang is relatively south, the impact was not so great, so he didn't pay much attention.

If the fire really burned for several months, the impact on the country would be too great. Living in darkness for several months is not so easy.
