My courtyard shelter

Chapter 115 Family Gathering

After having lunch at Zhao Jian's house, Xu Dong left with the same amount of gifts. ReadМ

Zhao Jian took a lot of good things from him in exchange for the 1,000 kilograms of grain last time, and this time a considerable part of it was "returned to the original owner."

Back home, with rare free time, Xu Dong planned to take the children, including Ma Lingling, to the cinema to watch a movie.

As for people coming from my hometown, because the railway system has temporarily adjusted its timetable, it is estimated that they will not arrive until after five o'clock in the evening.

When he came to the cinema, Xu Dong found that there were not many people watching the movie, maybe because of the film schedule.

This year’s Spring Festival is particularly deserted. Six of the seven movies released are old films, of which only the main theme films account for half.

The only new movie was an animated movie. Xu Dong lost interest as soon as he saw the title of the movie. It was too juvenile, and even Coco and the others probably wouldn't like it.

As the drought continues, all domestic industries are depressed, and the film industry is naturally no exception.

And the most important thing is that in order to respond to the spirit of conservation, the above has greatly reduced the number of filming throughout the year.

Those who can get a piece of the pie are basically large state-owned factories.

Suddenly, Lele took her father's arm and shouted:

"Dad, Dad, I want to watch "Frozen 2"."

"'Frozen 2'? Haven't you seen it?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"I want to watch it again!"

"What about you, do you want to watch "Frozen 2"?" Xu Dong asked, looking at the others.

Cocoa naturally applauded with both hands.

Ma Lingling also nodded and said: "Just watch "Frozen 2", there is nothing interesting about the others."

As for Ma Xu, he really wanted to watch "Operation Blue Ocean", but unfortunately he was soft-spoken and could only follow the crowd.

When he came to the self-service ticket vending machine, Xu Dong bought five cinema tickets. The twins were already eldest children. They were 1.2 meters tall last year and said goodbye to child tickets.

Fortunately, the ticket price is not expensive, only twenty-five yuan per ticket.

The movie lasted for a full one hundred minutes. Xu Dong dealt with Coco and Lele the whole time, and he couldn't play with his mobile phone, so he almost fell asleep.

The movie ended and it was almost time. Xu Dong called his home and took the children directly to the high-speed rail station.

Anyway, there are many seats in the Daben, so it can definitely fit in.

Arriving at the exit of the high-speed rail station, Xu Dong and the others waited for about half an hour before finally receiving Xu Ting and her group.

"Mom, Mom, we are over here." Ma Lingling waved her hands vigorously.

After some pleasantries, Xu Dong stepped forward to take the suitcase from the elder sister, then glanced at the elder and his family who were following him, and couldn't help but wonder:

"Hey, why didn't my brother-in-law come?"

"Oh, I just received the notice this morning that your brother-in-law and his company have started work ahead of schedule." Xu Ting sighed.

Xu Dong frowned unconsciously. It seemed that the whole country was scrambling against time, and the situation was getting increasingly grim.

"Let's go, everyone, get in the car. We'll talk about it when we get back."

On the way, Ma Lingling took her mother and talked quietly. The eldest brother and his wife were very quiet all the time and hardly spoke.

The eldest niece was chatting happily with her younger siblings, and there were giggles from time to time.

Everyone was very excited when they got home, but there was no crying scene as imagined. Everything seemed peaceful.

Xu Ting took her sister-in-law to play with the triplets. They had not seen each other for more than a year. Tan Aifang felt very unhappy when she saw her three nephews getting bigger and bigger.

Although her father-in-law and mother-in-law are also very kind to Jingyi, in the end they are still a bit patriarchal.

The brother-in-law and his wife did not originally plan to have a second child, and they did not know what promises they made, so they had triplets.

Since they had three grandchildren, the focus of the father-in-law and mother-in-law has almost entirely shifted to the brother-in-law's family, and later they moved to Yanjing together.

I originally thought that "out of sight, out of mind", but I didn't expect that a big flare would come, causing a severe drought across the country, and their family's life would become difficult.

In the past year, the family had to rely on "relief" from my mother-in-law to live a better life, which is very embarrassing.

"Dabao, do you still recognize your aunt?"

Child Dabao looked confused, and Yang Lina said amusedly: "When you came here last time, he was only over one year old, how could he remember it?"

"Our Dabao is smart, isn't he?" Xu Ting continued teasing.

When Dabao heard someone calling him, his smiling eyes almost narrowed, and he kept shouting: "Dabao is a good baby!"

"Haha, yes, our Dabao is a good baby."

At this time, Tan Aifang rarely spoke up and said something sincerely: "Nana, you have raised Dabao and the three of them so well!"

Seeing that the brother-in-law's family is getting better and better, the brother-in-law not only joined a large state-owned enterprise, but even the father-in-law opened a large company, and the gap between the two families became wider and wider.

People, you have to compromise with reality.

"I really didn't put in much effort, it's all thanks to mom!"

Yang Lina replied politely, but after all, she still felt a little grudge in her heart.

"My mother-in-law is blessed to be following you." Tan Aifang said this, which meant that she was completely submissive.

Xu Ting quickly echoed:

"Of course. Look at this small yard. It actually has a glass house. You don't have to worry about eating vegetables in the future. Nana, the watermelon you sent to Lingling before was also grown here, right?"

"Yeah, don't look at the glass house. It's not big, but it can grow a lot of things."

After Yang Lina finished speaking, she pointed to a plate of strawberries on the table and introduced:

"Strawberries are also planted in the glass house. There are more than 100 strawberries in total, but the yield is not bad. Strawberries at home have never been out of stock."

Xu Ting enviously said: "You make me want to build a glass house."

"It can also be built indoors, but it consumes more electricity." Yang Lina replied seriously.

Xu Ting waved her hand quickly: "I'm just talking. There is not enough water to drink at home, so how can there be extra water to grow vegetables."

After chatting for a few more sentences, dinner finally began.

It's rare for the family to reunite. Xu's mother took the trouble to prepare a large table of food, which is more sumptuous than the New Year's Eve dinner.

Xu Ting was really eye-opening. No wonder the two children always clamored to come to grandma's house. Their life here is no worse than before the drought!

"Mom, you've done too much, right?"

"You rarely come here once, and mom will give you a good supplement. Look at how thin you are. It's heartbreaking to see you." Xu's mother said distressedly.

"Grandma loves us the most."

Xu Jingyi said happily. On the way here, she chatted with her two cousins ​​about their daily lives. She was really envious.

"Jingyi, eat more. You are the thinnest in the family. I don't know how your mother cooks?" Xu's mother complained. After all, she raised her granddaughter by herself. She really felt sorry for her.

Xu Jingyi quickly explained for her mother: "Grandma, you blamed my mother wrongly. I am in college, and the food in school is a bit bad. My mother is afraid that I will suffer, so she often comes to bring me delicious food!"
