My courtyard shelter

After a steaming breakfast.

Xu Dong drove the Coco sisters to school. The temperature in the morning was still more than 20 degrees below zero, and the wind was so strong that the twins were almost wrapped into two big balls.

The two of them wore thermal underwear as the innermost layer, a sweater and woolen jacket as the middle layer, and a pink and white fleece jacket and jacket as the outermost layer.

The reason why I wear this is because there is heating in the school. When I get to school, I just need to take off my jacket, which is very convenient.

In addition, the two of them were wearing children's snow boots, which were also pink and fluffy and very warm at first sight.

In addition, gloves, scarves, masks and ear protection are all available.

After this whole set, it took the twins half an hour just to get dressed in the morning.

"One bag of potato chips per person, quickly stuff it into your schoolbag."

Before getting off the bus, Xu Dong gave some small benefits as usual, but this small benefit probably won't last long.

Except for a few snacks with a long shelf life, most of the snacks at home have been disposed of and replaced with dried seafood.

"Thank you, Dad." Lele came up and kissed her father's cheek.

Coco also stepped forward and hugged her father.

Xu Dong was very happy. As expected, the little cotton-padded jackets were more considerate. The three brats at home only knew how to eat, drink and have fun every day, and a kiss seemed to kill them.

"Don't go home by yourself after school. Wait until grandpa comes to pick you up after get off work."

Xu’s father now has a full-time driver, who takes him to and from get off work every day.

"I know, I'll call grandpa after school." Coco said obediently.

Speaking of which, the smart watch that can make calls was a birthday gift from Xu’s father last year.

Xu Dong nodded, straightened the clothes for the two sisters, and finally said: "Okay, go in, stay in the classroom as much as possible, and don't run around outside."

After watching his daughters enter the school gate, Xu Dong turned the car around and returned home.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Xu Ma holding a steel pipe and making famous gestures there. He quickly stepped forward to take the steel pipe:

"Mom, I'll do it!"

After spending twenty minutes, Xu Dong finally smashed the ice layer in the water tank. The ice layer was quite strong, at least two or three centimeters thick.

After receiving it, Xu Dong accompanied his mother to make a video call to Luyang.

The phone rang for more than a minute before it was answered. My sister and her family were probably still sleeping. There was no central heating in Luyang, and all work and classes had been suspended since last night.

"Second brother, how are you doing there? Were you okay last night?" Xu's mother asked.

Xu Ting in the video looks unkempt and looks like she is still sleeping.

"It's okay. Thanks to Dongzi's early reminder, Ma Jie bought a charcoal stove and the temperature in the room is high!"

Xu Dong interrupted and asked, "How much charcoal did you buy?"

"Seventy or eighty boxes are piled up in the living room. It would be enough to burn them for a month."

"Don't sleep to death, be careful of carbon monoxide poisoning." Xu Dong warned.

Xu Ting smoothed her hair, "It's okay, the charcoal stove has a chimney, and we also bought a carbon monoxide detection alarm, so nothing will happen."

"Stop sleeping in and get up quickly to make breakfast. How can Lingling and Xiaoxu not eat breakfast?" Xu Ma despised lazy people and couldn't help but remind them.

"Lingling and Xiaoxu haven't woken up yet. I'll get up and cook when they wake up."

Xu Ma spat: "When you get up, why don't you just make lunch together?"

"hey-hey……"

"Sister, are you coming to Yanjing during the Chinese New Year?" Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Xu Dong quickly changed the subject.

Xu Ting thought about it for a moment before nodding and said: "We are coming here on the first day of the Lunar New Year. We will have less vacation this year, and we will start working on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."

"Then let Lingling and Xiaoxu come to my place during the winter vacation, and then I'll go back with you." Xu Ma suggested smoothly.

"That's good, Ma Xu has been clamoring to go to my uncle's house for a long time."

Xu Dong smiled and said: "Sister, tell Lingling and Xiaoxu that they can come to my uncle's place anytime they want."

"Well, and Mom, please stop sending us things all the time. Dongzi's wife will definitely be unhappy if she finds out."

Xu Ting was very embarrassed. In recent months, her mother would send a big package to their family every ten days.

There are so many good things such as air-dried chicken, pickles, dried vegetables, dried mushrooms, salted fish, milk powder, etc. Even for siblings, it seems a bit too much.

Without waiting for Xu Ma's reply, Xu Dong rushed to persuade: "Sister, just keep it with peace of mind. Your brother is also a billionaire. He has no other skills. He is a first-class hunter."

"Yes, we have no shortage of food here, don't think so wildly." Xu Ma agreed.

Xu Ting felt relieved when she saw that her brother didn't look like he was slapping someone in the face or pretending to be fat.

After the phone call ended, Xu's mother called her eldest son's home again. Xu Dong was not interested and went directly to work.

When he arrived at the power company, he was blocked by Xiang Xin as soon as he entered the office.

"Boss, you are so awesome."

"What's wrong?" Xu Dong's head was full of questions.

Xiang Xin quickly explained: "Last night, many patrol teams were still patrolling as usual. I heard that thousands of people suffered frostbite at once, and there were also individual deaths. The impact now is very bad."

"well……"

Xu Dong couldn't help but sigh. There were some things that he couldn't help with. After all, he was not in his position and had no political plans.

He couldn't control it even if he wanted to.

"Boss, you have done a great job this time. Director Du just came over to thank us and gave our security department a banner." Xiang Xin said with admiration.

Xu Dong asked in confusion: "Uncle Li came so early today?"

"How could it not be early? Director Du came in person. If it were me, I would also be active!"

"Where is the banner? Take me to see it."

Xu Dong was quite curious about the banner and wanted to see what was written on it.

Xiang Xin pointed to the section chief's office and said: "It's over there, and it hasn't been hung up yet."

"Did you see what was written on the banner?"

"It seems to be fulfilling one's duties and caring about the masses." Xiang Xin recalled.

Xu Dong nodded. The slogan was quite accurate.

Less than ten minutes later, Section Chief Li called Xu Dong into the office alone.

"Xiao Xu, fortunately you reminded me yesterday, otherwise our security department would definitely have an accident this time." Section Chief Li said with lingering fear. Although the accident was caused by dispatched workers, he still had to take responsibility.

"Uncle Li, I just mentioned it a little bit, but you are really awesome! I only get one tenth of the military medal at most, and the remaining nine tenths belong to you." Xu Dong said with a smile.

Section Chief Li was in a good mood. This time, not only did their security department not have any problems, but it became an excellent example. The most important thing is that Director Du owed him a big favor.

"Director Cao from the Logistics Department will come to inspect our security department later. You should prepare well. Director Cao may ask you a question alone."

Xu Dong was a little speechless. They were obviously in the same building. Is it necessary to make it so formal? Besides, he has met Director Cao before.

"Uh... Uncle Li, what preparations should I make?"

Section Chief Li smiled and said, "Clean up the desk and sort out the work briefs of the past few days. That's enough. Old Cao is easy to talk to."
