My courtyard shelter

"Dong dong dong..."

Erbao knocked on Xie's door excitedly. Google search reading

"Click..." It was Xie Delin who opened the door, holding a big bag in his hand: "I'm ready, let's go!"

"Wait a moment!"

"What's wrong?" Xie Delin looked confused.

Without saying a word, Erbao walked into the house carrying a big bag and put the things on the sofa.

Facing the curious eyes of Xie's mother and others.

He immediately explained: "Auntie, what's in the bag is the gift I gave you at noon."

"What is it, so heavy?"

Mother Xie came over and picked up the bag.

Xie Dailu was impatient and immediately opened the bag.

Xie Hao couldn't help but exclaimed: "Mom, is this rice?"

He had only seen this thing in textbooks.

In reality, let alone eating it, I have never even touched it.

Xie's mother was also shocked: "Er Bao, this bag of rice weighs at least ten kilograms, right? Where did you get it?"

"Auntie, this is Tianzhu rice. My dad has been in the import and export business for a while. We have a lot of rice at home. My grandma specially asked me to bring some for you to try."

"This is too expensive, Auntie can't accept it."

Mother Xie refused on the spot.

No wonder Erbao has never been hungry since he was a child. It turns out that their family is lucky and has stocked up on a batch of rice. Rice is a good thing, and one pound can be exchanged for four or five pounds of miscellaneous grains.

If you meet a special customer, it is not impossible to exchange ten pounds or even more.

Xie Delin looked at her boyfriend with a moved face.

Food is so precious right now, and her boyfriend is willing to sacrifice so much for her. Many people can't do this even if they get married.

Erbao took the opportunity to reveal some of his own situation, which was considered a precaution in advance:

"Auntie, this little thing is nothing. As I said before, our family is not short of food. My dad has channels to buy food, so don't worry about accepting it!"

"You didn't lie to auntie, did you?"

Mother Xie said doubtfully.

She was worried that Erbao, a child who was not sensible, would use the family's "life-saving food" as a pretense. This was not a trivial matter and could lead to death.

Lest a good thing turn into a bad thing in the end.

Erbao raised his finger: "Auntie, I swear, my grandma personally prepared the rice for me."

If not for fear of scaring the other party.

He originally planned to give away dried rabbits. There were too many dried rabbits at home. When his second sister got married, he didn’t even give away a tenth of them.

"Okay!" Mother Xie nodded, "But ten kilograms is too much. Auntie, just take two kilograms and taste it. You can take the rest home quickly!"

"Auntie, I'm going to school soon. How can I have time to go home? Besides, our family is really not short of rice, so don't be polite to me."

Erbao tried his best to persuade him.

Xie's mother was still hesitant. After all, food rations were of great importance and no one could be too cautious.

Xie Delin thought for a while and pulled her boyfriend aside.

"Er Bao, are everything you said true?"

"More real than real gold." Dabao said firmly.

Xie Delin stared at her boyfriend's eyes for a long time, and then felt relieved when she saw that the other party didn't avoid him at all.

Then, she pulled her mother aside.

The mother and daughter didn't know what they murmured, and Xie's mother finally accepted all the rice with peace of mind.

…

Before we knew it, it was June.

June 13th is another weekend.

The police academy adopted closed teaching and was not allowed to leave school on weekends. Erbao and Xie Delin worked hard and finally got two days off from the captain.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Erbao personally delivered his girlfriend to the door of his house. Xie's mother went to work, and there were only two people at home, Xie Dailu and Xie Hao.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you two are finally willing to come back. If you don't come back, the summer vacation will be over."

Xie Delu exaggerated.

"Don't worry." Erbao couldn't help but feel good when he heard the title "brother-in-law": "I'll take you to the store tomorrow. I made an agreement with Mr. Cui that it's not safe for you to get off work alone, so I specially arranged a room for you. staff dorm."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Please pack your luggage tonight. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning and send you there myself."

"Hehe...thank you, brother-in-law."

Xie Delu smiled very happily.

Xie Hao on the side looked envious and couldn't help but plead: "Brother-in-law, I also want to work!"

"You're still too young, let's wait a few years before talking!"

Erbao patted the other party's shoulder.

"Brother-in-law" is only thirteen years old this year, and he is a child laborer. If he is caught by the Children's Bureau, he might even implicate his second sister.

"When the second sister leaves, I will be the only one left at home soon." Xie Hao said bitterly.

Erbao quickly comforted him: "Don't be discouraged. I will give you a whole TV set later. If you have nothing to do, watch more TV. Just think of it as passing the time."

"TV?" Xie Hao was ecstatic.

"Don't waste your money."

Xie Delin quickly stopped him.

Her boyfriend is good at everything, but he spends money lavishly. He often buys her this and that. The little money he saved from working has probably been spent long ago.

"Listen to me." Erbao explained with a smile, "I happen to have an old TV that has been eliminated at home. It should still be usable. It doesn't cost a penny at all."

"There's no point in moving it. The TV consumes too much power. My mother will definitely be reluctant to turn it on."

Xie Delin sighed.

"How much can you spend on electricity? If it doesn't work out, I'll recharge a thousand yuan into your electricity account later. It will definitely be enough during the summer vacation."

The second treasure has a great deal of power.

"One thousand yuan is too much. Our family's electricity bill doesn't even cost that much in a year."

Xie Delin rolled her eyes.

Xie Delu helped persuade: "Sister, you will be an intern next year, I can also work to make money, and our family will get better and better."

"Sister, other people's homes have TVs, but ours doesn't."

Xie Hao's face was filled with grievances.

"Okay, as long as eldest sister doesn't object, I will help you with my mother's advice."

Xie Delin quickly softened her heart.

At this time, Erbao had a clearer understanding of the living standard of his girlfriend's family. Their monthly electricity bill was millions of yuan, and his girlfriend's family's electricity bill was not even a fraction.

Xie Hao couldn't suppress his excitement and immediately turned around and asked:

"Brother-in-law, when will the TV arrive?"

"Okay, after lunch, I will bring the TV to you." After Erbao said this, his heart moved: "Well, how about this? You can just go back with me, have dinner at my house at noon, and meet again in the afternoon. return."

"no."

Xie Delin refused without hesitation.

"Why?"

Erbao asked quickly.

Xie Delin shook her head shyly: "We have only been dating for more than a month. The time is too short. I am not mentally prepared yet!"

"What are you ready for?"

Erbao couldn't help but complain.

The life of his girlfriend's family was too hard, and he wanted to reveal his identity as soon as possible, so that he would have a reason to help them.

Especially during the recent period, in order to maintain his personality, he had to accompany his girlfriend to have light tea and light meals for more than a month.

The bird almost faded out of my mouth.

"I told you, you don't understand. Didn't we both agree to come to our house during the Mid-Autumn Festival? It was so good. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

“What difference does it make if it’s a few months earlier or a few months later?”

"It just won't work anyway, you can't force me."

Xie Delin rarely had a bad temper.

Erbao had no choice but to give up.

Xie Dailu and Xie Hao also looked disappointed.
