My courtyard shelter

"Why don't you live at home?" asked Xu's mother. Read М

Xu Bin, the head of the family, took the initiative to answer for his daughter: "The school is too far from home. It takes more than an hour to take the bus, and it's crowded. There are often no seats."

"Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have enrolled in a school in Yanjing. Grandma could bring you food every day." Xu's mother said regretfully.

Seeing that his mother was about to start nagging again, Xu Dong quickly raised his glass:

"Come on, let's drink together."

"Cheers!"

Halfway through the meal, Xu's father finally came back.

Xu Ting quickly stood up and shouted: "Dad, you're back."

Xu's father has not been the general manager for half a year for nothing. He manages more people, and he has a more powerful aura unconsciously, which makes Xu Bin and his wife unable to react at once.

"Yeah!" Dad Xu nodded reservedly, then looked at the eldest family: "It's good to be here, you guys continue eating, I'll go wash my face first."

After Dad Xu left, Xu Jingyi touched Coco next to her:

"Is grandpa always so serious?"

"No, grandpa is very good to us. My sister and I often go to grandpa's company to play. Grandpa always allows us to play games, and sometimes takes us to the amusement park to play."

Xu Jingyi was thoughtful. She had always heard that grandpa opened a big company, but she didn't expect it to be true. She really couldn't connect the taciturn grandpa in the past with the person in front of her.

Dad Xu came back soon, took off his shirt, and changed into a T-shirt with a collar.

"Why didn't Ma Jie come?"

Xu Ting explained the reason again, and then asked with concern: "Dad, I heard from the third child that you have been working overtime every day during this period. Can your body bear it?"

"It's okay. The business is tight recently. It will be fine next month." Dad Xu shook his head.

Xu Bin stood up with a glass of wine and said, "Dad, I'll toast you."

Dad Xu had to go back to the company to work overtime, so he could only drink a glass of tea with his eldest son instead of wine.

Next, the family talked about what happened in Luyang and their lives.

In a word, life was still going well.

…

After dinner, Xu's mother first arranged for several people to take turns to take a shower. Just now when she was eating, she faintly smelled a sour smell.

After taking a shower, Xu Bin and his wife moved into the second bedroom on the first floor, and Xu Jingyi slept in the same bed with Ma Lingling. After all, not every room in the house has air conditioning.

As for Xu Ting, Xu's father was not at home, so she just squeezed in with Xu's mother.

After finally coaxing the triplets to sleep, Xu's mother pulled her daughter to whisper, her voice was very low, mainly because she was afraid of waking up the grandchildren.

"Did you bring the eldest brother here?"

"How could I do that? It was my eldest brother who called me and asked me. I said I would leave on the first day of the new year, and then my eldest brother said, 'We'll go together then.'" Xu Ting explained.

"It's really strange. Nothing happened to the eldest brother's family, right?" Xu's mother said worriedly.

It's been seven or eight years since the eldest son and the youngest son fell out. This is the first time that the eldest brother has taken the initiative to visit his brother's house.

Xu Ting shook her head: "I haven't heard of it. There are only three people in the eldest brother's family, and Jingyi is still in college. What can happen?"

"Could it be that the eldest brother is sick?" Xu's mother panicked immediately.

"Puchi!"

Xu Ting couldn't help laughing, and then comforted: "Mom, don't think too much. Just now at the dinner table, I saw that the eldest brother was almost full. How can he look like a patient?"

"You're talking about your eldest brother, aren't you full too?" Xu's mother scolded with a smile, but she finally put her mind at ease. As long as he is fine, it's fine.

As they chatted, Xu Ting suddenly spoke up and asked tentatively: "Mom, Ma Jie and I have discussed and want to move to Yanjing. What do you think?"

Just because of the water supply conditions in the capital, especially seeing the long hair of her mother and sister-in-law, Xu Ting became more determined to move.

She had had enough of the days of water shortage.

"Have you thought about it?" Xu's mother said in surprise.

Xu Ting nodded: "It's just that the housing prices in Yanjing, I'm afraid I can't find a suitable house for a while."

"I asked the third child about this. Your brother means that you should buy a house in Langfang. The current housing prices there should be similar to those in Luyang.

You sell the house in Luyang, and your father and I will raise some money for you. It should be no problem to buy a bigger house."

"Langfang? Isn't that out of the capital?" Xu Ting frowned.

The difference between the capital household registration and non-capital household registration is a world of difference.

Mother Xu patted her daughter gently and explained in a low voice:

"How can we harm you? Your brother said that the capital will soon expand eastward, and Langfang will be able to run away by then.

You are definitely getting a great bargain if you buy a house now.

Besides, the housing price in Yanjing is about to break through 300,000 per square meter, and you and Ma Jie can't afford it for a lifetime without eating or drinking.

A step back, it is not easy to get a household registration in Yanjing. The upper level is very strict about household registration now. Even if you buy a house, you may not be able to obtain citizenship."

Xu Ting was surprised and said, "Is your information reliable?"

"Why not? Dongzi knows a lot of big leaders now, and he is well-informed!

He asked you to stock up more rice before, what happened later? And the cold wave, anyway, it's right to listen to your brother."

Xu Ting was completely excited now. If this is true, all the problems that have troubled their family can be solved.

"Great, then I will go back tomorrow, and we must hurry up on this matter."

Mother Xu hushed, "Keep your voice down, don't wake up Dabao and the others. You don't have to be too anxious, as long as it's not before the end of March, it's still in time to buy a house."

"Dongzi said that too?" Xu Ting asked, she now has a blind trust in her younger brother.

"Well, your brother means that you and the eldest brother's family should move here together.

But I just took the time to ask the eldest brother, and the couple mainly considers that Jingyi is still studying and will not leave Luyang for two or three years."

Mother Xu said regretfully.

"Brother is stubborn, I will persuade him later."

"Forget it, I am a little worried about leaving Jingyi alone in Luyang, so let the couple accompany her, and talk about moving after Jingyi graduates." Mother Xu sighed.

"What about the house?"

"If not, just rent a house first, our family doesn't lack that little rent."

Mother Xu originally had a ready-made house under her name, which could be lent to the eldest brother's family, but this matter cannot be done in this way, it is too easy to cause conflicts.

"I'm afraid that my eldest brother will regret it in the future, and he might even blame you and my dad." Xu Ting reminded her that there is a precedent for this.

Xu's mother snorted and said stubbornly: "Let him complain, I don't count on him for my retirement anyway. Your dad's company is doing well, and we don't rely on anyone."

"How much money did your dad's company make last year?" Xu Ting took the opportunity to ask.

She wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but she just couldn't find the opportunity to ask it.
