My courtyard shelter

"Grandma, we are back. Come and take a look. Dad bought us a bird.

��

As soon as they entered the yard, Lele held up the newly bought bird cage and shouted loudly.

"Really!" Xu Ma walked out of the kitchen with a smile, holding a bowl in her hand, and exaggerated: "Well, what kind of bird is this? It looks so... handsome!"

Xu's mother originally wanted to say, "She's so beautiful," but seeing how dark the little bird was, it didn't match beauty at all, so when the words came to her lips, she quickly changed her word.

"This is myna. He will be able to speak human language when he grows up." Lele proudly showed off.

Not to be outdone, Coco held up the bird cage and introduced: "Grandma, mine is a canary. Isn't it beautiful?"

"It's really weird and beautiful!"

This was the first time for Xu Ma to see such a beautiful bird, and she couldn't help but take a second look.

Lele was anxious: "Grandma, myna can talk."

"Okay, Myna is also a good bird. Grandma has fried fish balls for you. Come and see if they taste good?"

After Xu Ma finished speaking, she fed each of the three little guys a fish ball.

The fish balls are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Ma Xu praised while eating:

"It's so delicious, grandma, I want to eat more."

Xu's mother had just stuffed a fish ball into her grandson's mouth, and Coco and Lele also said "More". Within a moment, the fish ball in the bowl was all gone.

The three little guys made a fuss and wanted to eat.

Yang Lina hurriedly said: "Okay, it's time to have dinner soon. There are a lot of fish balls in the hot pot."

"Mom, are there any more lobsters tonight?"

As soon as he heard about dinner, Lele immediately thought of the lobster he had eaten last night, and he still remembers it.

Yang Lina shook her head, "Not tonight, only tomorrow night."

"But I want to eat tonight." Lele became willful again.

"Let's go, daddy will take you to hang the bird cage."

When Xu Dong saw something wrong with his wife's face, he immediately pulled the Coco sisters and Ma Xu into the glass room.

"Dad, where is the bird cage hanging?" Lele quickly forgot what happened just now.

Xu Dong observed it and said, "Just hang it under the water tower, where it won't get the sun."

"Uh-huh…"

After finding ropes, Xu Dong quickly hung up the two bird cages.

Not to mention, with the sound of birds chirping, the glass room seems more energetic, making people feel like they are in the outdoor wilderness.

Xu Dong decided that he would ask Dad Xu to make a deck chair for him later. He would come here to relax and feel the nature when he had nothing to do.

…

The next day, New Year's Eve, Xu's father still had to go to work. It was said that he would not have a holiday during the New Year.

After breakfast, the whole family started to get busy, preparing to give the courtyard a thorough cleaning.

Xu Ma and Yang Lina are mainly responsible for cleaning the room. There is a lot of sand and dust at the moment, and several unoccupied rooms have a thick layer of dust.

Outdoors, or more accurately, the roof, this can only be left to Xu Dong.

Solar tiles are installed on the roof. If there is too much dust, it will definitely affect the power generation efficiency. In the past, Xudong basically cleaned it every two months.

The main reason is that there is no power limit in Yanjing and there are not many opportunities to use solar power. In a year, there are only seven or eight times at most.

The roof on the first floor was easy to clean. There was a feather duster tied to a long bamboo pole. Xu Dong stood directly on the glass roof of the yard and finished it in less than half an hour.

The trouble is that the second floor is too high and the slope of the roof is too gentle, making it difficult to reach with long bamboo poles.

Xu Dong had previously thought of a way, which was to dispatch a drone and use the strong wind generated by the drone itself to blow away the dust. The effect can only be said to be unsatisfactory!

"It's flying." Lele clapped her hands and cheered.

"Stay in the house and don't come out." Xu Dong reminded again.

In his past life and this life, he has only operated drones a few times. He is not very skilled in the technology and is afraid of danger.

Ma Xu is a boy. Looking at the drone, he couldn't move his eyes away: "Uncle, can you let me try it too?"

"No, you are too young." Xu Dong refused.

"Alas..." Ma Xu said disappointedly.

"Why are you so frustrated? When you go to high school, I will give you a drone directly."

"Really? Thank you, uncle."

"Of course it's true. Just ask Keke and the others, when did my words not count?" Xu Dong said with a smile.

Lele rushed to answer: "Dad is the best at what he says!"

After cleaning the roof, Xu Dong went to the basement. After more than a year, a lot of dust also accumulated in the warehouse.

Fortunately, there is no other garbage besides dust in the basement.

Xu Dong directly dismantled a sweeping robot. After it was fully charged, it cleaned the entire two-story warehouse.

As for the dust on the product packaging, the workload was too great and there was nothing he could do. Since it was all vacuum packed, dust could not get inside.

After a busy morning, I finally felt a lot more relaxed in the afternoon.

After lunch, the Coco sisters took Ma Xu to play with their classmates in the Champs-Élys Community next door. There were many children there and it was much more lively than at home.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, just as Xu Dong had posted the Spring Festival couplets, the three of them finally came back, sweating profusely but with extremely bright smiles.

Xu Dong poured a cup of strawberry juice for each of the three people. The strawberry juice was freshly squeezed with a juicer, and the children especially liked to drink it.

However, strawberry production is limited, and some honey and water are added to the juice, which does not affect the taste very much.

"What are you playing with?"

"We played radish squats and one-two-three statues." Lele said and took a big sip of strawberry juice.

Coco immediately added: "There was also skipping rubber rope. My sister and I jumped very well."

"Xiaoxu, did you have fun this afternoon?"

"Happy."

Ma Xu was really happy. In his hometown, except for going to school, his mother kept him at home all day and night and didn't let him go out casually.

First, the public security outside was not good, and she was afraid that something would happen to the child; second, going outdoors would make you sweat, not only requiring a lot of drinking water, but also washing clothes was a hassle.

"Just be happy, don't stay at home all the time in the future, go out and play with your cousins ​​when you have nothing to do." Xu Dong encouraged.

In the previous life, due to the common neglect of parents and schools, a large number of otakus and otakus were cultivated, which caused a series of social problems.

Even Lele was no exception.

When she grew up, Xu Leke was not as lively as she is now. In her previous life, except for going to school, she usually didn't go out of the front door or the back door. This was also an important reason why Xu Dong was willing to indulge his children.

"I see."

Ma Xu nodded seriously. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the life in Yanjing.

At six o'clock in the evening, Xu's father finally came back. According to the tradition of their hometown, the father and son completed a ceremony of worshipping their ancestors in the living room.

There were no firecrackers or burning paper. After all, the yard was closed, so they simply used flowers instead.
