My courtyard shelter

At night, Xu Dong and his wife were lying on the bed, discussing the education of the twins.

Yang Lina said with a worried look on her face:

"Keke's grades are barely okay, and it should be no problem for her to enter an ordinary university in the future.

What about Kelele? She has never passed the math test, and it is estimated that there is no hope for her to go to university. If a girl does not go to university, it will be difficult to find a job in the future."

Speaking of this, Yang Lina also blamed herself.

When the twins went to kindergarten, it was almost the time when she was pregnant with her second child. After Dabao and the other three were born, she had even less energy to care about the sisters' studies.

She let the sheep go all the way, and ended up like this today.

Xu Dong waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "How old are they? It's still early for them to go to college in ten years!"

And it won't take ten years. Starting from this year, the country will significantly increase the admission threshold for universities and expand the scale of vocational education instead.

Because, whether it is desalination plants, planting plants, seawater aquaculture and other emerging industries, or the industrial chains supporting them, they will need a large number of professional and technical workers.

Based on the academic performance of the two girls, Xu Dong estimated that the probability of them being admitted to university in the future is infinitely close to zero.

In this case, it is better to let them live a happier life. After graduation, he will think of ways to see if he can find some connections to put the two of them directly into state-owned enterprises.

Isn't it good to live a stable life like this? Why bother yourself and the children!

Yang Lina shook her head: "No, if we wait a few more years, it will be too late. I think it's better to find a tutor for them during the winter vacation."

"How can this be possible?" Xu Dong refused, "I have already promised to find a violin teacher for them during the winter vacation so that they can learn violin well."

"It's okay, you can learn violin in the morning and make up lessons in the afternoon, so you don't delay either."

Xu Dong still shook his head: "You have to study hard to learn the violin, and you can't be distracted! Besides, it's not too late to make up lessons in elementary school when you are in junior high school."

"Just spoil them!" Yang Lina pinched her husband's arm fiercely.

"Okay!"

Xu Dong hugged his wife tightly and comforted her:

"Don't worry about it. With our family's financial conditions and your husband's connections, Keke and his granddaughter will have no worries about their future.

Besides, Dad's business is getting bigger and bigger. If things don't work out, he can go to work in his own company. Can Dad treat his granddaughter unfairly?"

"It sounds good, but I don't know if Dad's company can continue to operate. You see, it was because of the cold wave that he almost couldn't pay the wages this time." Yang Lina complained.

Xu Dong naturally knew about this. In the final analysis, his company expanded too fast and the capital chain was tight.

Fortunately, this time, Qixing Xia Chuang took the initiative to prepay a large sum of money for the goods, otherwise Xu's father and his family would never have been able to get through the difficulties so easily.

"Don't worry, I told Dad not to expand blindly in the future. After this lesson, I think he will be more restrained and there will definitely be no similar problems in the future." Xu Dong explained.

Yang Lina curled her lips: "Who can predict the future? Keke and her brother only need to do well in their studies, and they will have a way out wherever they go in the future."

"You don't believe your husband, right?" Xu Dong patted his wife's buttocks and said with a sly smile:

"It seems that I have to teach you a lesson."

...

The next day was the day when Ma Lingling and her brother came to Yanjing, and Xu's mother started to work early in the morning.

She had just dried the quilt here, and then she went to the chicken coop to catch a big rooster, saying that she wanted to give the brother and sister a good nourishment.

Because the cold wave had just passed and the high-speed rail had not been fully restored, Ma Lingling and her brother and sister did not arrive in Yanjing until after five o'clock in the afternoon.

Because it happened to be the weekend, Xu Dong drove his eldest niece and nephew back in person.

As soon as she got home, what Ma Lingling wanted to do most was not to eat, but to shout for a bath.

Luyang is not like Yanjing, it is not close to the sea, and it is impossible to build a desalination plant.

The lakes in the territory dried up two months ago, and the city can only rely on limited groundwater resources to maintain its operation.

Speaking of daily water consumption, for a family of four, for example, it is only about four liters a day, which is roughly equivalent to the capacity of eight bottles of Coke.

In this case, not to mention taking a bath, even washing your face is a luxury.

Fortunately, before leaving, Xu Ting reluctantly spent three thousand yuan to buy a small half bucket of water from the black market, so that the two siblings could wash their faces.

Then she used the water to wash her face to wash two sets of clothes, which was considered to maintain a little decency and not let the siblings go to Yanjing to embarrass themselves.

As for the rest, she couldn't take care of it for the time being.

Xu Ma held her only granddaughter, fearing that the siblings would be starving on the train, so she insisted:

"Grandma stewed chicken for you, let's eat first, and it's not too late to take a bath after eating."

"Grandma, look at my arms, are they all black?" Ma Lingling simply rolled up her sleeves and put them directly in front of Xu Ma.

I haven't taken a bath for half a year, so the situation can only be described as very bad.

After taking a closer look, Xu's mother stopped trying to persuade them, and took the two siblings to the bathroom, while not forgetting to instruct them: "Third brother, go find two new sets of clothes for Lingling and Xiaoxu."

"Got it." Xu Dong nodded.

There are a lot of clothes stored in his warehouse. Xu Dong basically has all the clothes for his children from childhood to adulthood.

So it was easy to find two similar sets of clothes for Ma Lingling and her sister.

With Yang Lina's help, Xu Dong found all the clothes in less than ten minutes. From underwear to tops and jackets, including shoes and socks, they were all brand new.

"Mom, I left the clothes at the door."

"knew."

Xu Ma answered while filling the bathtub with water.

Since the desalination plant in Tianjin started supplying water, the water crisis in the capital has come to an end for the time being.

Nowadays, although it is not possible to provide 24-hour water supply, it can still be guaranteed for three or four hours a day. In addition, there is a large water tank at home, so taking a bath is still no problem.

After putting the water in, Xu Ma asked casually: "Would you like grandma to rub your back?"

"No, I can just wash it myself." Ma Lingling quickly replied.

"Okay, then I'll go help Xiaoxu wash it."

Ma Xu was not given such good treatment. He could only use a large plastic basin to bathe, and it was in the yard. After all, the bathroom was already occupied by his sister.

"Grandma, can we go and wash in the house?" Ma Xu said shyly, looking at his twin cousins ​​not far away.

"It's not convenient to get water in the house, but I can still bask in the sun in the yard, so I'm not afraid of the cold." The cold wave has just passed, and the temperature in the evening is still very cold.

"Shy..."

The twins hid behind the living room door, laughing loudly and unscrupulously.

Ma Xu's face turned even redder, but he couldn't resist his grandmother, so he could only cover his crotch and sit coquettishly in the plastic basin.
