My Courtyard Refuge

Transferring Materials

After getting the new household registration booklet, Dad Xu first sent his wife back to the courtyard, and then passedHe didn’t enter the house and went directly to the store.

Recently, the business in the store has been getting better and better. Hundreds of second-hand electronic products are recycled every day. He needs to keep an eye on them so that employees don’t bypass the company to pick up private work.

Xu’s mother stepped into the courtyard, feeling restless for a long time. Unlike her husband, she has her own “career” to divert her attention.

Yang Lina is taking the triplets to practice walking in the living room. The children have grown up a lot and are no longer as difficult as they were when they were young.

“grandmother……”

When Dabao saw grandma, he rushed over immediately, and Mama Xu quickly knelt down to catch her, and hugged her grandson and kissed and kissed again and again.

The children are all debt collectors, so the juniors should not worry.

“Mom, is it all over?” Yang Lina raised her head and asked in concern.

Madam Xu nodded and said, “I got the new residence booklet. Let’s go to Sanhe Homeland tomorrow and clean the new house thoroughly.”

The new house has a new atmosphere, some sundries should be thrown away, replaced should be replaced, and what should be disinfected should be cleaned and disinfected in time.

“Let’s all go, who will take Dabao and the three of them?”

“Let your dad take a day off tomorrow, anyway, it doesn’t matter if you don’t go to the store for a day.” Xu Ma said indifferently.

“What about lunch? Dad can’t cook.”

One day may not be enough time to clean a new house. If you have to run back and forth at noon, it would be a waste of time.

Mama Xu waved her hand: “Aren’t there biscuits at home, let your dad and Lele have a meal with biscuits at noon.”

Yang Lina was still a little worried, Dad Xu was not young after all, if he fell and knocked, the elderly and children would be in trouble.

“Mom, it’s still too troublesome. Why don’t you hire two hourly aunts? It saves time and effort, and it doesn’t cost much.”

Madam Xu frowned slightly, and said hesitantly: “After all, the part-time workers are outsiders. They must not clean as carefully as our own. Besides, they have to throw some sundries. It must be impossible for no one to watch.”

“How about this! Mom, I’ll go to the new house to watch, and you stay at home, so Dad doesn’t have to take vacations.” Yang Lina suggested.

Xu’s mother thought about it and thought it was a good idea, but she didn’t want to stay at home. The new house was written with her name on it, just like her child, with a different kind of feeling.

“Forget it, let me go to the new house. You stay here, and your dad will let him come back early, and help you watch Dabao and the others while cooking.”

“Okay, mom… just do as you say!” Yang Lina immediately agreed.

Anyway, her goal has been achieved, and it doesn’t matter who goes.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xu Ma hurriedly got on the bus and rushed to Sanhe Home.

Yang Lina has already booked two part-time domestic helpers online, and the negotiated price is 30 yuan per hour per person, for a total of 8 hours.

Mama Xu didn’t stay in the new house for long, when the two part-time aunts arrived. The three of them were about the same age, and they chatted very well with each other.

“Sister Zhang, your house is so big, the down payment must not be cheap, right?” the hourly worker Fang Huifang asked enviously as she wiped the furniture.

“No.” Xu Ma shook her head and said with a proud face: “My house was bought in full.”

“The full amount?” Fang Huifang exclaimed.

“It took a total of 7 million yuan!”

“I didn’t want to buy it at first. After all, it’s almost out of the fifth ring road here, so it’s a little bit out of the way, but my son just wants to buy it, and it’s useless to persuade him.”

Mother Xu nagged.

Another part-time worker, Wang Qiaodi, persuaded: “Sister Zhang, this place is not too remote. Money is not worth much now. It is better to buy a house to preserve value.”

“I understand this, but now that the drought is so severe, what’s the use of buying more houses?” Xu Ma sighed.

“Sister Zhang, listen to your words, do you have other houses in your house?” Wang Qiaodi asked in surprise.

She really couldn’t see that the employer in front of her was actually a rich man.

“Look at what you said, where did our family live before we didn’t have a house? We can’t rent a house, right?”

Mama Xu explained with a smile:

“On the East Third Ring Road, there is a small courtyard house. Our whole family usually lives there, and the house here is temporarily unoccupied.”

“Siheyuan?”

Fang Huifang was so surprised that she even stopped her movements. After working in Yanjing for so many years, how could she not know the price of a courtyard house? Even the cheapest one costs tens of millions.

“Sister Zhang, your family is really rich. What does your son do?”

Mama Xu deliberately said vaguely, “I work at the Yanjing Electric Power Company.”

“Good unit!” Fang Huifang envied again.

“That’s it, I get a bit of salary, but fortunately, the work is relatively leisurely and there is no pressure.” Xu’s mother Versailles possessed her.

“What about your daughter-in-law?”

“She takes care of the children at home. There are so many children in the family that she can’t do without.”

“How many grandchildren do you have?”

“On Yanjing’s side, there are two granddaughters and three grandsons.”

“Yo ho, old sister, you are really blessed.”

“Haha, that’s what everyone says.”

Under the deliberate flattery of the two part-time aunts, after a whole day, Mama Xu’s smileIt has never been broken.

Even for lunch, he took the two of them out of the restaurant, and even extravagantly ordered a piece of braised fish, which cost more than 1,000 yuan for a meal.

In other words, food prices seem to have risen a lot recently.

If it was Xu’s mother before, she would definitely not be so generous, but as Xu’s father handed in more and more “vegetable money”, Xu’s mother gradually became more daring to spend money.

…

After the new house was cleaned, Xu Dong used a little time after get off work to transfer some supplies to Sanhe Home in a planned way.

There are no other messy things, a total of 1 ton of rice and 20 tons of white sugar.

Rice is used for emergencies, and white sugar is the capital for turning around.

In the evening of that day, Xu Dong drove the Daben to the Sanheyuan Community again. After more than half a month of uninterrupted transportation, today is the last batch of supplies.

Drive the car into the underground parking lot and park the car. The parking space was temporarily rented by Xu Dong from the property for only one month.

Opening the car door, putting down the trolley, Xu Dong started carrying work as usual.

There is an elevator in the parking lot directly to the upper floor, so it is very convenient to carry. Xu Dong ran five times, and it took less than an hour for the car to be empty.

In the summer of July, the sun sets late, and it is already past seven o’clock, but the outdoor temperature is still more than 30 degrees.

Xu Dong was so tired that he was sweating profusely and felt his body was sticky, so he took a hot bath in the new house.

He had already brought a change of clothes.

Xu Dong intends to use this place as a temporary foothold for himself, and he can do anything that is inconvenient to be done publicly in the future.

After resting for ten minutes, Xu Dong got up and turned off all the water and electricity in the new house, and then left the Sanheyuan community.

In a short time, he will not come here again, so it is safer to turn off the water and electricity.
