My courtyard shelter

After exiting the grilled mouse shop, Xu Ting took her brother and asked:

"Dongzi, what you just said about raising rats, is it true, or is it a joke?"

"Building a breeding farm requires investment of real money. How can you joke about this? Of course it is true. Read," Xu Dong replied seriously.

"Can you make money by raising rats?" Xu Ting expressed doubts.

Xu Dong looked mysterious: "Not only can you make money, but if you do it well, you might even become the richest man in the country!"

In the previous life, starting from the year after tomorrow, the breeding industry almost monopolized the throne of the richest man in Daxia, and most of these breeding industries were engaged in meat rat breeding.

"It sounds like the truth." Xu Ting rolled her eyes.

"Sister, if you don't believe it, I can lend you money to open a rat farm. Don't you happen to have a job yet? Do you want to be your own boss?"

The investment in the rat farm is not much, and it is a typical small cost but big profit. For his sister, Xu Dong is still very willing to contribute.

Xu Ting quickly shook her head: "Forget it, I don't have this ability, and it's not easy for you to make money. Don't treat money as money."

Ma Jie was eager to give it a try. The fact that his father-in-law started a company was still very exciting to him.

But when he thought about his family's situation, especially his children, he immediately gave up this idea.

Xu Dong didn't care and started the car. Ten minutes later, he finally arrived home.

Xu's mother came forward with Xiaobao in her arms: "Why are you back so soon? The house has been bought?"

"Mom, I sent you a photo of the house, didn't you receive it?" Xu Ting said in surprise.

"Xiaobao had a fever this morning, so I took him to the hospital this morning. I didn't have time to look at my phone!" Xu's mother explained.

When Xu Dong heard that his youngest son had a fever, he immediately stepped forward and touched Xiaobao's forehead, and then asked:

"Is it serious? What did the doctor say?"

"It's okay, it's just a small cold. The fever has gone away after taking medicine. I just won't sleep until someone holds me. I cry when I let go." Xu's mother had a distressed look on her face.

"The temperature difference between morning and evening is huge now, and it is most vulnerable to cold at this time. Xiaoxu also caught a cold last week, just for a few days." Xu Ting said worriedly.

"Where are Dabao and Erbao?"

"Nana is taking the two of them on the second floor to avoid being infected." Xu's mother replied.

"Mom, let me hold him for a while while you go and have a rest." Xu Dong said and took the little son from his mother's arms.

Xu Ma took the opportunity to rub her arms: "Have you had lunch? I'll order some noodles for you?"

"Mom, no need, we've eaten outside." Xu Ting quickly stopped her.

Next, Xu Ting and her husband accompanied Xu Ting into the room. They probably wanted to talk about the new house and return the bank card.

As for Xu Dong, he simply carried Xiaobao into the vegetable garden.

"Chirp, chirp... chirp..." The canary's cry was clear and sweet.

Hearing the chirping of birds, Xu Dong felt much more relaxed. Then he came to the recliner and lay down gently, while Xiaobao lay on his chest.

Xu's father made two recliners in his free time after dinner. They were made of raw wood and were not painted at all.

Under the parasol, with the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers on one side, and the warmth of father and son on the other, it was indescribably comfortable.

…

Early the next morning, Xu Dong personally sent the two sisters to the high-speed rail station.

"Sister, brother-in-law, move here as soon as the matter is settled. If that doesn't work, live here with me first. When the apartment is handed over in Langfang, you can move there."

Xiaobao's cold yesterday made him suddenly recall the first wave of influenza in his previous life, which seemed to have started in early March.

Travel restrictions will be strictly enforced across the country and will not be lifted until mid-year.

"You said this yourself, do we take it seriously?" Xu Ting said with a smile.

"You and your family can come. Policies are changing now, so it's better to implement them as soon as possible. I will also help you with the new house."

"Okay, actually your brother-in-law and I also want to come over soon." Xu Ting nodded.

"Then move quickly. Don't argue with some small things. Let them go if you can." Xu Dong reminded.

He knows his sister's character very well, and she likes to care about everything.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Ting finally said goodbye: "Okay, we're at the station. Drive slower when you go back."

"When you get to Luyang, remember to call mom."

Xu Ting waved her hand to show that she understood.

When she got home, Yang Lina was packing the luggage for the Coco sisters. The twins were leaving for a spring outing in the afternoon.

In February in Yanjing, it’s not too hot during the day, so it’s a great time for a spring outing.

Last year, due to the impact of a major flare, schools were closed for a long time, so spring outings and autumn outings were canceled as a matter of course.

Speaking of which, this was the first time for the twins to participate in the school's outdoor group activities, and both of them were extremely excited.

Xu Dong watched for a while and couldn't help but interject:

"Don't bring a quilt. It's too troublesome to have a quilt and a quilt. Just bring a sleeping bag. I remember there is one in the warehouse."

This spring outing is mainly to visit the desalination plant in Tianjin. It will depart on Sunday afternoon and return on Tuesday afternoon, a total of two days and two nights.

"The teacher has regulations on what to bring, so don't make random decisions, okay?" Yang Lina said angrily.

"You're really stupid. Can't you sleep in a sleeping bag?" Xu Dong was speechless.

Yang Lina raised her head and glared at her husband: "Who do you think is stupid?"

"I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about Keke and her teacher." Xu Dong hurriedly explained.

"Dad, you can't say bad things about our teacher behind her back." Keke pulled her father's sleeve and reminded him in a low voice.

"Okay, it's Dad's fault. Dad won't say anything." Xu Dong hurriedly admitted his mistake, not wanting to teach a child bad things.

Lele took the opportunity to act like a spoiled child and said, "Dad, can I bring a bag of beef jerky? I can eat it as a snack on the way."

Before Xu Dong could answer, Yang Lina flatly refused:

"Don't even think about it. Do you want to show off in front of your classmates again? I've told you so many times that snacks can only be eaten at home and are not allowed to be brought to school."

"Lele, tell Dad the truth..."

Xu Dong frowned and looked at his little daughter.

It's normal for children to compare with each other, but in today's environment, it seems a bit inappropriate and needs to be corrected in time.

Lele pouted and said nothing.

Xu Dong then looked at his eldest daughter: "Keke, you are the elder sister. If your younger sister does something wrong, you should help her correct it."

Keke honestly told her everything. It turned out that there was a classmate in their class whose family was very rich. She often brought delicious food to school and her classmates liked to play with her.

Lele was a petty person with a high spirit, and the two of them began to compare themselves unconsciously.

After listening, Xu Dong pulled Lele aside and talked to her for more than half an hour. I don't know if it worked, but at least she stopped asking for snacks.
