My Courtyard Refuge

Cengfan

At six o’clock in the evening, Lao Fang came back from get off work. When he saw Xu Dong waiting at the door of his house, he immediately greeted him:

“Xiao Xu, is your business trip over?”

Xu Dong nodded and said, “It’s over, I’ll go back to work tomorrow.”

Lao Fang opened the door and welcomed Xu Dong in, and then poured a glass of boiling water for the guests.

“Xiao Xu, you are here today…”

Xu Dong took out the bag containing the sweater and handed it to the other party: “Xiao Han knitted a sweater for you and asked me to give it to you. It’s cold in the morning, so you must wear it when you go to work.”

As soon as Lao Fang took the bag, he took out his sweater and gestured to him, smiling like a fool.

It wasn’t until Xu Dong coughed that the other party came to his senses and reluctantly put down the sweater.

“Xiao Xu, thank you.”

“It’s a little effort, you’re welcome! I’m here this time, besides giving you sweaters, I also want to take my batch of goods back. Are there any problems?”

Lao Fang shook his head: “No problem. After I brought the things back, I kept them in the second bedroom and didn’t move them.”

After finishing speaking, Lao Fang took Xu Dong into the second bedroom.

I saw three suitcases in the corner of the second bedroom. The suitcases were bought by Xu Dong. Not only can these suitcases be kept secret, but they are also convenient to carry.

Xu Dong stepped forward and looked it over, and there was indeed no trace of damage.

“Old Fang, I will trouble you this time.”

“Look at what you said, which one of us is with whom!” Lao Fang waved his hand.

Xu Dong nodded: “Then I won’t be polite to you. On Xiaohan’s side, the green card will be processed at the end of the month, and you and your husband will be able to reunite by then.”

“Great, finally there is a result.” Lao Fang said with emotion.

“When Xiao Han comes back, let her take care of her body first, and then hurry up and give birth to a baby. Your house costs tens of millions, so don’t be cheap for people with foreign surnames.” Xu Dong reminded.

“Xiao Xu, you have feudal thinking, why are you more conservative than me? Don’t worry, I have a sense of proportion.”

“It’s good that you understand, and you are not young anymore, do everything according to your ability, don’t be like young people, take it easy.”

Lao Fang laughed and scolded: “You better get out of here, I’m in good health, so don’t worry about it.”

After leaving the old Fang’s house, Xu Dong went straight back to the courtyard.

After entering the garage, he immediately made a video call to his wife.

“Honey, why did you call so early today?”

Xu Dong smiled without saying a word, “Guess where I am now?”

“Aren’t you back?” Yang Lina’s mind turned quickly: “There was a noise in the garage just now, so Mom ran out to see it.”

“Honey, you’re so smart, I’m in the garage, tell mom not to open the door.” Xu Dong said quickly.

===Section 144===

Yang Lina got up and went to the yard, and called her mother-in-law back.

Mother Xu took the phone: “Third brother, when did you come back?”

“Just got out of the car, Mom, I bought some dried sea cucumbers at Qindao, you cook a dish tonight, let’s have meat together.”

Xu Ma directly shook her head and said, “It’s too late, it takes a day or two to soak dried sea cucumbers, I’ll do it after two days!”

Xu Dong was a little disappointed.

“Husband, it’s not like you haven’t eaten sea cucumbers before. Why are you in such a hurry?” Yang Lina asked suspiciously.

“It’s okay, I just want to eat suddenly.”

In fact, Xu Dong hasn’t tasted sea cucumber in his past life and this life for almost twelve years.

Now that they met by chance, they were immediately hooked.

“How many dried sea cucumbers did you buy?” Mama Xu asked casually.

“It’s a whole hundred catties, it’s definitely fine to eat for a year or two.” Xu Dong said with a smile.

Mama Xu was a little excited: “Did you spend a lot of money?”

“Fifty thousand yuan per catty, a total of five million yuan was spent.” Xu Dong replied truthfully.

“It’s really expensive.” Yang Lina frowned.

Xu’s mother was very open: “It’s not a disadvantage, food is more valuable than money now, as long as you can buy food, it’s a good thing.”

“Mom, what you’ve always said is so true. I’ll keep five catties of dried sea cucumbers on top, and put the rest in the basement.”

“Okay, you can talk to Nana. I’ll cook two more dishes and make up for you tonight. Look at how thin you are.” Mother Xu shook her head. Every time her son came back from a business trip, he lost weight.

“Thank you mom!” Xu Dong said with a smile, and his mother knew him best.

After returning the mobile phone to the daughter-in-law, Mother Xu left. Later, I will make a hot pot of fish slices and fried dried chicken. It should be almost the same.

Yang Lina took the phone, “Husband, is your work going well during this business trip?”

Normally, Xu Dong seldom talked about work matters, mainly because the topic was too heavy, and talking would only increase troubles, so it was better not to talk about it.

“Successful! I’m in the rear, and the work is very simple.”

Xu Dong focused on introducing the process of buying sea cucumbers, and mentioned everything else in one sentence. In the end, he took out two gift boxes.

“Honey, this red box is a gift for you, and this yellow box is for our mother, don’t get confused.”

“What did you buy?” Yang Lina asked curiously.

Xu Dong smiled and said: “There will be no surprises if you say it, you can dismantle it yourself!”

“Still playing mystery, but you haven’t forgotten the gift from the two of them, have you? If your precious daughters start a fight, I don’t care.”

“I don’t forget, the gift I bought, I guarantee that the two of them will like it very much.” Xu Dong said to himself.

Next,The couple chatted about homework for more than half an hour. Xu Dong didn’t leave with the dinner until Mama Xu finished the meal.

Back in Sanhejiayuan Community, Xu Dong asked for the key and opened the door.

Lele was watching TV in the living room. When she heard the door open, she turned her head and found that it was her father who came back. She immediately shouted:

“Wow, grandpa… sister, dad is back.”

After speaking, he rushed directly to his father.

Xu Dong hurriedly put down the food box, knelt down and put his arms around his little daughter. He hadn’t seen her for half a month. What he missed most were the children at home.

Ke Ke also ran over quickly, the father and daughter hugged each other, while Dad Xu smiled and went to the kitchen with a food box.

“Father, where is my gift?” Lele asked suddenly.

“The gift is in Dad’s suitcase, can you see it after dinner?”

It took time to install the astronomical telescope, Xu Dong didn’t want to delay dinner, he didn’t eat much at noon, and he was hungry right now!

“Okay…” Although a little unhappy, the twins agreed sensiblely.

Dad Xu was very fast, and within ten minutes, the food was ready.

“dinner’s ready!”

“Father will take you to wash your hands. Grandma made fried chicken tonight. It must be delicious.”

As soon as they heard that there was fried chicken to eat, the twins immediately became active. The family hadn’t eaten chicken for a long time, and they were tired of eating shrimp and fish.

Not long after dinner started, the doorbell rang.

Coco trotted over to open the door.

Xu Dong asked curiously: “Who, why is there still someone coming here at this time?”

Lele rushed to answer:

“It must be Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun visits our house every night.”

As soon as the words fell, Ke Ke pulled Xiao Yun over, and the other party was still holding a job bowl.

When the little neighbor saw Xu Dong, he immediately said, “Hello, Uncle!”

Xu Dong smiled and nodded.

Dad Xu recruited Xiaoyun to come to him, then took the rice bowl from the young girl, then gave her a lot of food, and finally poured a small bowl of fish soup.

“Thank you, grandpa!” The little girl took the job with a happy face.

Next, in less than three minutes, Xiaoyun ate all the food in the bowl, and then left directly with the empty bowl.

“Dad, this is…”

Dad Xu waved his hand and said, “I like this kid Xiaoyun very much. If you want to eat, just eat some. Our family does not lack this kind of food.”

“Dad, I didn’t mean that. I was afraid that people in the community would gossip. After all, everyone’s life is very difficult now. Which one is like ours!” Xu Dong explained with a wry smile.

“Don’t worry, I told Xiaoyun not to tell anyone else. As you can see, this child is very sensible and only comes home after eating. Her parents probably don’t know about it.”

Only then did Xu Dong feel relieved, they would be able to move back in July, and it didn’t matter whether they talked about it later or not.
