My Courtyard Refuge

Mid-Autumn Festival/Teacher’s Day

On September 7, Section Chief Li personally drove and took Xiao Wang’s family to the company. After a brief condolence, the big leader handed over a donation of 4.58 million yuan to the other party.

Fortunately, Xiao Wang also has a teenage sister, so that the old couple will not be left alone, and this huge sum of money has some meaning.

After the donation ceremony, Xu Dong drove Xiao Wang’s family back to the hotel, and found an opportunity to gently persuade them to settle in Yanjing.

After all, Xiao Wang’s pension, plus the power company’s donation, can just buy a slightly better house in the capital.

Unfortunately, neither Xiao Wang’s parents nor his sister were willing to stay in the sad place of Yanjing. At noon that day, the three of them took the high-speed train back to Yuzhou.

Knowing that they were not short of money now, Xu Dong specially gave them a box of adult milk powder and a large bag of beef jerky before the three of them got into the car, mainly to nourish the two elderly people.

There is nothing more grievous than losing a child in old age, even the only child who has not been married.

Optimistically, it will take at least two or three years for the old couple to recover.

Xu Dong returned to the company again. As soon as he entered the office, he was surrounded by Gao Yuemei and others.

“Xiao Xu, you’re back, Xiao Wang’s family really left?” Gao Yuemei asked.

Xu Dong nodded: “Let’s go, I personally sent them to the high-speed rail station.”

“Oh! It’s a pity for Xiao Wang. I heard that the robber is younger than Xiao Wang. Why do you think it’s so hard? He ruined two young people at once.” Gao Yuemei said regretfully.

“This kind of person doesn’t deserve sympathy. He’s young, he can do something wrong, he insists on robbing, harming others and himself.” Colleague Lao Chen looked very angry.

Xiang Xin added in a low voice:

“I heard that the robber also lost his job and couldn’t even afford to eat. In the end, he came out to rob because he had no choice. As a result, he was killed the first time.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately became silent, but the silence didn’t last long, and was soon broken by colleague Lao Jin.

“Why do I feel that the public security seems to have deteriorated a lot recently. In my community, last month, more than a dozen bicycles were stolen, and there was also a burglary, which is scary enough.”

Xiang Xin echoed, “Yes, several bicycles have been lost in our community. Some thieves even steal cars parked by the side of the road. They are not so courageous.”

“Let me tell you, it’s better for everyone to be careful when going out in the future. Don’t go to places with few people, especially at night. After eight o’clock, try to stay at home as much as possible.” Gao Yuemei looked worried.

“Sister Gao is right, we should not go out for a stroll if we have nothing to do.” Xu Dong agreed.

“It’s true, no place is safe at home.””Oh, I still want to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday and plan to take my family to the western suburbs to have fun. It seems that I need to think again.”

For a while, people in the office panicked!

After two days like this, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here.

This time, the power company finally “showed kindness” and gave out some holiday benefits, including a box of moon cakes, a two-jin bottle of cooking oil, and a ten-jin bag of rice.

Among them, cooking oil is the most popular and the most expensive.

This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival is a bit special. It happens to be on the same day as Teacher’s Day, and the next day is Sunday. Together, we can have two days off.

Early in the morning on September 10, just after seven o’clock, Xu Dong was urged to get up by his wife, and the twins were also woken up at the same time.

As for why you got up so early?

Of course, there is a task. To put it bluntly, it is to go to Keke and their class teacher’s house to give gifts. There are few people in the early morning, so as not to be seen by others, which will not affect them well.

As for the address of the homeroom teacher’s home, Yang Lina had already inquired clearly in the class group, it was on the edge of the East Fourth Ring Road, not far from the courtyard house, and it took only ten minutes to drive there.

As for the Teacher’s Day gift, the couple had planned it out last night. They simply brought all the employee benefits issued by the power company, plus a basket of fresh vegetables produced by themselves. It was definitely a great gift.

After breakfast, the father and daughter set off immediately. According to the navigation, they soon arrived at the head teacher’s house.

===Section 56===

“Ding dong…” Xu Dong pressed the doorbell.

“Crack!”

It was the class teacher who opened the door. The twins arched their hands according to the pre-rehearsed, and shouted together:

“Teacher Ding, I wish you a happy Teacher’s Day and a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.”

Teacher Ding welcomed the three father and daughter into the house with a smile, and said as they walked, “You are the father of Keke and Lele. If I remember correctly, you were the one who brought them to sign up last year.”

“Mr. Ding, you really have a good memory.”

“It’s not that I have a good memory, it’s that your daughters are so impressive that it’s hard not to remember them.”

Teacher Ding is in his forties this year, and he doesn’t look rigid at all, but rather funny.

After getting acquainted with Mr. Ding’s family members, the father and daughter made an excuse and left before sitting for five minutes.

After all, it’s a big holiday, and it’s almost enough to wait for a few minutes to make up your mind, and there’s no need to take up too much time for both parties.

Besides, it’s fine when the ceremony arrives, and everything else is empty. Looking at Teacher Ding’s face, you can tell that the other party is very satisfied.

Back home, Xu Dong read the novel for a while, and at eleven o’clock, he went to the store with his father.

Although today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, many employees still choose to work overtime voluntarily.

After all, their wages are basically based on commission. Right now, everyone’s life is very difficult. If you work an extra day, you can get an extra salary.

As the owner of the company, Dad Xu certainly had to express it. No, the father and son entered the store carrying a large thermos bucket.

“Uncle Ming, Brother Xu, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, who are you?” Ma Jun asked with a puzzled expression.

Looking at everyone’s curious eyes, Father Xu took a breath and explained with a smile:

“Everyone has worked hard. Isn’t today the Mid-Autumn Festival? I asked my family to boil a bucket of mung bean soup and brought it here to relieve everyone from the heat.”

The mung bean soup was made by Xu Ma and Yang Lina early in the morning, with added sugar and ice cubes. It was full of a bucket, enough for everyone in the store to drink.

“Long live the boss.”

“Thank you, Uncle Ming!”

…

In the evening, the old Xu’s family had a sumptuous Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, and then the whole family sat in the yard together, eating moon cakes and admiring the moon.

Yang Lina took the mooncakes to school by following the short video. Although they don’t look very good, they taste good, and the whole family likes to eat them.

“Dad, the moon is so round tonight!” Coco pointed to the moon and said.

“Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mooncakes are round, and the moon is of course round.” Xu Dong said and took a bite of the mooncake.

Lele stood up and showed off: “Dad, I can recite the ancient poems about the moon, and I will recite them to you.”

“Okay, Dad, listen up!”

“The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. Look up at the bright moon, and look down at your hometown.”

“Papa…” Everyone applauded together.

Hearing the applause, Lele raised her head high, so proud!

Ke Ke also wants to show it in front of her family: “Dad, Dad, I can also recite.”

“Okay, Keke will also play a song.” Xu Dong encouraged.

“You don’t know the moon when you are young, call it a white jade plate.

He also doubted the mirror of Yaotai, flying in the blue clouds. “
