My courtyard shelter

On June 20, France and Britain formally signed a strategic alliance contract, and the Oufei War was about to begin.

One side is sharpening his knife, while the other side is trembling.

Fortunately, Daxia and Meiguo intervened in time, and with the joint mediation of the two countries, all parties finally sat at the negotiating table.

On June 21, another small earthquake occurred in the capital.

On June 22, the Dragon Boat Festival holiday begins.

Early in the morning, Xu Dong visited several "old acquaintances" with gifts, and then sent a wave of private benefits to his subordinates.

Including several old colleagues who have retired at home.

Each family has ten pounds of sugar and five pounds of dried salted fish.

If there are no accidents, this should be the last wave of benefits. After all, the current situation is very good. Regardless of whether there are small benefits or not, everyone can live a good life.

The rotating training classes had stopped as early as the year before last.

After one lap, he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

In fact, Xu Dong deeply resented this kind of human interaction, but there were many things that people couldn't escape from in this world.

Lele was very considerate. When her father came back, she immediately gave him a warm towel and massaged his shoulders. .

"Why are you working so hard today?"

Xu Dong joked with a smile.

Lele chuckled: "Dad, can you also help me buy a small farm?"

"You are going to take the college entrance examination next year. Do you still have the heart to play games?" Xu Dong frowned.

Although he dotes on his younger daughter, he won't make fun of her future. Although he knows that the probability of getting into college is very small, one extra point is worth one point.

It is better to work hard than to get something for nothing.

"Oh, I definitely won't be able to get into college."

Lele said with a slumped face.

"Why are you sighing? If you don't work hard, how do you know you won't pass the exam?"

"Dad, with my grades, will my hard work help?"

Xu Dong saw that this attitude was definitely not good, so he quickly encouraged: "It's useless, as long as you can get 480 points in the exam, even if your family is trying to sell everything, they will help you find connections to go to college."

"480 points? Really?"

Lele's eyes lit up.

Her current scores are basically hovering around 450 points, and it’s not like she hasn’t passed the test with a score of 480 points.

"Has your father ever lied to you since you were a child?"

“What college can I go to?”

Lele would not refuse on the spot if she could go to college.

Xu Dong suddenly said proudly: "You can choose any university in the capital. You can go wherever you want."

"Can I go to Yanjing Film Academy?"

What girl of seventeen or eighteen doesn’t have dreams of becoming a star? Especially in the past two years, many new faces have appeared in the entertainment industry, and chasing stars has become a fashion.

It used to be that no more than a dozen movies were released each year.

This year is only halfway through, and more than 30 movies have been released to the public, 90% of which are live-action movies, almost five or six times the number two years ago.

"Art school is not good. You haven't taken a day of professional classes, so you will definitely fail the interview."

Xu Dong quickly made an excuse.

The entertainment industry is not a good place. How could he let his little daughter do whatever she wants? Marriage crises in the entertainment industry are endless, and things happen every now and then.

I really want to dive in head first, and I have endless worries behind it.

Lele puffed her lips: "It's still too late for me to learn now, right?"

"Impossible, look at yourself, how many talents have you acquired from childhood to college?

Violin, flute, calligraphy, dancing, singing... and martial arts before that, after so many years, I can only barely pass the Western pastry. "

Xu Dong scolded with a straight face.

"I am sensible now and will definitely study hard."

Lele quickly assured.

Xu Dong shook his head: "If you had half the patience of your sister, your father would not criticize you. Don't expect anything from art school. Change your university quickly. How about going to Xia Qing University?"

"Xia Qing University?"

Lele shook her head like a rattle.

"No, no, I heard from my cousin that Xia Qing University is very strict. I definitely don't take the courses."

Xu Dong nodded subconsciously. His younger daughter was quite self-aware and asked her to go to Xia Qing University. There were all top academics there, so it was really not suitable.

"Well, then you should think about it carefully. Anyway, there is still a year, so this matter is not urgent for the time being."

"Dad, can I study abroad?"

Lele tried.

"Don't even think about it. It's very chaotic abroad. If something happens to you, what will your mother and I do?"

Xu Dong was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

"I'm not going to Europa, I'm going to Beautiful Country."

Even Lele, who doesn't care about the international situation, knows that Europa is about to start a war. This shows how serious the situation is. Even in the hearts of many people, the Europa war is imminent and has to be launched.

Xu Dong waved his hand directly: "Not even a beautiful country. If you really want to study abroad, it's not impossible, but there is a condition."

"What conditions?" Lele asked in surprise.

"You can only choose among Asia Mutual member countries."

"Well, isn't that the same as staying in the country?"

Lele was instantly disappointed.

"This is dad's bottom line, no negotiation."

"Forget it, I'd better stay in the capital!"

Xu Dong was immediately relieved and said: "That's right. Dad has told you a long time ago. You are a girl. As long as you are happy every day, let dad handle the rest."

"Hehe, then I won't be a princess?"

Lele hugged her father's neck.

Xu Dong reached back and patted his little daughter's head:

"In Dad's eyes, you will always be a princess."

"What about your sister?"

"Your sister is the eldest princess in our family, and you are the youngest princess."

Xu Dong replied with a smile.

...

Two days later, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

The Xu family gathered again, including Pan Jun and Yang Shuo, a grandson-in-law, and a future grandson-in-law, who also arrived.

Pan Jun just came back last week, and with the old Pan who was transferred back two months ago, the Pan family finally reunited.

Mother Xu prepared a large table of delicious food as usual.

At the dinner table, Ma Lingling and Yang Shuo became the focus of everyone. After all, their wedding date was less than ten days away.

Yang Lina asked with concern: "Lingling, how are you two preparing for your wedding? If you are short of anything, tell your uncle, he has many connections."

"Aunt, don't worry, the hotel has been booked long ago, and you can just go there when the time comes."

Ma Lingling replied with a smile.

"What about the banquet? Has it been confirmed?"

Mother Xu asked immediately.

Yang Shuo took over the conversation: "Grandma, the banquet has been prepared long ago. There is no shortage of fish and meat. In addition, I have prepared a lot of cigarettes and alcohol."

The supply of vegetables in the capital is still sufficient.

Most vegetables can be bought on the black market.

"Lingling, is the wedding dress ready?"

Xu Jingyi showed envy.

My cousin's wedding dress was designed by a professional designer. She has seen the design drawings and it is really beautiful.

Unlike her, she bought a ready-made wedding dress at the beginning.

Ma Lingling nodded: "It's ready, but I haven't tried it on yet. I plan to go and see it tomorrow."

"I'll go with you tomorrow!"

"Then it's settled. I'll drive over to pick you up at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Ma Lingling nodded, and then looked at her cousin: "Da Jie, do you want to come with me?"

"Okay!"

Da Jie couldn't refuse.

Ma Lingling is not only her cousin, but also her direct superior.
