My courtyard shelter

After talking about Yang's mother, everyone then talked about New Year's goods. In comparison, this was the most popular topic. Google search reading

"Old Zhang, have you gone to the grain store this month?"

"Not yet? What's wrong?"

Xu Ma asked curiously.

Since moving to Sydney, our family has built a ten-acre glass house and raised a lot of poultry and livestock. We are completely self-sufficient in our daily needs. We usually only go to the grain store once every few months.

Aunt Lian immediately complained: "This year is like nothing. There are no surprises on the food card. There are only seven or eight kilograms more sweet potatoes than last month."

"Just be content. In the past, the rations were getting smaller and smaller month by month. At least you don't have to go hungry this month. What else is there to complain about?"

Aunt Sun said happily.

"Hungry? That's not the case, is it? The disaster is not serious this year, so it shouldn't be right?"

Xu Ma said doubtfully.

"Lao Zhang, we are really not bluffing you. We are fine here, but the situation in China is too serious. There is probably a lot of pressure from above. The real test will begin in the next year."

“Can I still buy food on the black market?”

"I can't say it's not true at all. It all depends on luck. If you're lucky, you can still buy one and a half catties. But the price is too expensive. One catty costs seven to eight hundred yuan. It's simply robbery."

Mother Yang interrupted and asked, "Does your family still have food in storage?"

"Thanks to Lao Zhang, he gives us some pickles every month, which really saves a lot of food rations. The food stored at home is not consumed much, so it should not be a big problem to survive this year."

"What about next year?"

"It's really not possible to talk about next year's affairs. This year, I will tighten my belt and save another 30 pounds. To be honest, if there is no food at home, I will not be able to sleep well at night."

Aunt Lian sighed.

Xu Ma saw that the old guys were having such a hard time, and she felt compassion instantly:

"Don't be too frugal. I'll ask Dongzi to bring back another batch of bread for everyone later. It's fifty kilograms for each family. No matter what, we can't go hungry!"

"Old Zhang, are you kidding me?"

Aunt Lian and others instantly became serious.

Xu's mother shook her head: "Don't worry, I can't help you with more. With our family's relationship, we can get a few hundred kilograms of bread without any problem."

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

"We have been in a relationship for several years, so there is no need to be polite to me."

"How much? We'll pay now."

"Don't worry, we'll wait until the bread arrives."

"This won't work." Aunt Sun immediately shook her head: "Let's pay a deposit of 50,000 yuan first. When the time comes, we will refund more and make up less. No matter what, this money cannot be less."

"It's really not necessary. You also know that our family is not short of this little money." Xu's mother sincerely advised.

Aunt Lian and others did not listen to the advice at all.

Several people discussed with each other, and soon they expressed that they wanted to go home and get their bankbooks. In order to prevent things from changing, they must pay all the money today.

Mother Xu and Mother Yang sent the person to the door.

Watching everyone leave, Mother Yang couldn't help but remind her in a low voice: "My mother-in-law, if this matter spreads, will it bring trouble to Dongzi?"

"It's okay, they know what they know and won't go out and say nonsense. This has happened once a few years ago. I also think they are really pitiful. They are all neighbors, so if you can help, you should help!"

Xu Ma sighed.

"As long as it's no trouble, Dongzi should be back soon, right? Don't be like last year and not be able to come back even during the New Year."

"The call I just received this morning has already passed through the Sunda Strait. I will definitely be back before the wedding."

"Well, it's not easy for him to be the richest man. He has to travel for the New Year."

"It'll be fine after you've been busy these past few years. When the time comes, it should be a lot easier for Dabao to help his father."

Xu Ma showed a smile.

…

Three days later, Xu Dong returned to Sydney successfully.

Also arriving home were the youngest son and his girlfriend Duan Xinyue, Lele was getting married, and Xiaobao, the younger brother, couldn't be absent no matter what.

Xiaobao also wanted to take the opportunity to introduce his girlfriend to his family. After all, the two had been in a relationship for almost a year and even lived together last month, so it was not too unexpected.

Speaking of which, the love process between the two is very simple.

It is said that a man pursues a woman across a mountain, and a woman pursues a man across a veil. Under Duan Xinyue's intentional or unintentional pursuit, Xiaobao did not last long and soon fell completely.

After all, college life is boring.

It’s nice to have some love spice.

Duan Xinyue's arrival was welcomed by the whole family, and Yang Lina could not be more satisfied with this "little daughter-in-law".

This is a real lady.

She's much more pleasing to the eye than that little arrogant Niu Niu.

Xu Dong looked around and didn't find his second son, so he couldn't help but ask:

"Mom, where is Erbao? Isn't he back yet?"

"He came back early, but he didn't stay at home for two days. He went out to work at Lele's place for winter vacation again. Tomorrow is the last day, and he should be able to come back the day after tomorrow."

"Winter vacation job? Is he short of money now?"

Xu Dong said in surprise.

As far as he knew, his three sons started a business together, and now each of them has a net worth of at least 50 million, so there is no shortage of money to spend.

Besides, even if you are short of money, how much money can you make from part-time work?

There must be something hidden here.

Xu Ma smiled: "His working part-time is just a cover. I heard from Xiaoyun that Erbao is chasing a girl. Don't interfere with them."

The grandchildren all know that they are in love, and the elderly are undoubtedly the happiest.

"Really? What's the girl like?"

Xu Dong sighed secretly.

He didn't expect his second son to find his true love so quickly. He originally wanted to match him with Meng Meng, but now it seems that it was just wishful thinking.

Some things really can't be forced.

"She's not bad, and she's not bad looking, but the girl's family conditions are not very good. She has to earn her living expenses by herself. She's a good child with ambition."

Xu's mother introduced.

Xu Dong nodded: "Does Nana know about this?"

"I knew it a long time ago. Erbao didn't tell us about our family situation. Nana wants to wait and see for a while. As long as the two children really like it, she said it herself, she won't object."

"Huh? Why did she change her personality?"

"Don't think Nana is so snobbish. Besides, with our family conditions, who can't be unworthy? I think as long as the character is good, everything else is secondary."

Xu's mother nagging.

Xu Dong coughed quickly: "Mom, don't say this in front of Nana. I don't think she is snobbish. She is just a little traditional in her ideas, which is not a shortcoming at all."

"I know." Xu's mother waved her hand and said unhappily: "Look at your lack of ability. You are a chairman of the board of directors, but you are still a man who is afraid of your wife."

Xu Dong smiled awkwardly and was too lazy to argue.

If you are afraid of your wife, then be afraid of your wife!

As long as the family is harmonious, this little grievance is nothing to him.

At the same time, in Xiaobao's bedroom.

Duan Xinyue threw herself into her boyfriend's arms: "Xiaobao, your manor is so big!"

Because she is two years older than her boyfriend, the name may not be so mushy, and Xiaobao is also happy and comfortable.

"Do you want to move in?"

"Is this a proposal?"

Duan Xinyue joked.

Xiaobao smiled evilly: "Hehe, you have been mine for a long time, do you still want to run away?"

"Getting married so early is a bit inconsistent with your status as a young master?"

"You are wrong, I am not a young master, the young master is my eldest brother, and my family business will be inherited by my eldest brother in the future, just follow me and don't regret it."

Before the two confirmed their relationship, Xiaobao directly disclosed his family background. In fact, even if he didn't say it, the other party probably knew it.

His girlfriend is arrogant, and her own conditions are also excellent. She is not the kind of gold digger at all. He doesn't have the time to play the second brother's game.

With this time, it is better to read more books.

"Controlled nuclear fusion" is indeed worthy of being a century project. There are so many knowledge points involved in it that he is a little overwhelmed.

Duan Xinyue immediately said arrogantly: "Tsk, am I such a superficial person?"

"Really? Are you willing to accompany me to eat bran and vegetables?"
