My courtyard shelter

Early on Sunday morning, the Coco sisters were practicing piano in the vegetable garden. The space here is enclosed and has a good sound insulation effect.

I don't know if it's a matter of talent or too little time to learn, but the two of them played the piano like they were killing pigs. It was obvious at a glance that they were using too much force.

The family was having breakfast in the restaurant. Xu Dong couldn't help but rub his temples when he heard the faint sounds of "ghosts crying and wolves howling" coming from outside.

What a mistake, this violin is too torturous. If I had known this, I might as well have learned a sport, even playing football would be better than this!

"Why are you rubbing your head? You bought the violin and hired the teacher. You're doing it for yourself." Yang Lina gloated.

Xu's mother was feeding the triplets. The three little guys sat in a row, each taking turns to take a bite, but they seemed to be in peace.

"Learning the piano is a good thing. As parents, you should encourage it more. You must not let Coco and the others hear this."

Yang Lina nodded first, and then said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that they two don't have the talent. If they have this time, it's not a good idea to learn something!"

"They don't rely on this for a living, just treat it as a hobby, regardless of whether they have talent or not." Xu Dong waved his hand and said.

"Teacher Ding called me last night."

"What did you say?" Xu Dong didn't care at all.

"You said you gave up studying with Coco and the others. Is that what you said?"

Xu Dong swallowed a piece of salted fish, nodded and said: "Yes, I asked for it. You have heard about the education reform, right? I am letting them adapt to the new teaching environment in advance."

"Aren't you afraid that they will blame you in the future?" Yang Lina put down her chopsticks with a serious expression.

"What's there to complain about? I can still harm them."

"Nana, just listen to Dongzi. This society is changing too fast. Dongzi must know more than us." Xu Ma helped persuade.

Xu Dong smiled and said: "Mom still understands me. The drought is getting more and more serious now. I am not trying to scare you. This drought will not end in more than ten years.

The most important thing for our family now is that the whole family is safe and sound. We just need to live our own lives. There is really no need to compare everything with others. "

Seeing that Yang Lina was a little agitated, Xu's mother quickly changed the subject and said, "Dongzi, please go to Langfang later to see if your sister's family needs help."

Xu Ting's family went to the corridor early yesterday morning. After all, they had just moved here and had a lot to do.

"It's not necessary. How can I help?" Xu Dong said reluctantly. He was planning to go out for a walk today to see if he could bring back some pork.

"Don't you have a car? Your sister's family will definitely need to buy a lot of things. Having a car will at least be more convenient."

"Then I'll go after dinner, that's all!"

…

After breakfast, Xu Dong set off in a small truck. Since he was helping to transport things, a small truck must be the most convenient.

Before nine o'clock, the Langfang arrived.

Because I called in advance, my sister and her family didn't go out.

"Dongzi, why are you still here? The house is almost ready."

Xu Dong handed the bag in his hand to his elder sister and explained casually: "Mom asked me to bring you some salted fish. You were in a hurry yesterday and forgot to bring it to you."

"Really, I haven't finished eating the dozens of kilograms of dried fish given to me during the Chinese New Year!" Xu Ting said politely.

Ma Lingling immediately complained: "Uncle, my mother is too stingy. She only cooks a small plate of dried fish every day, and the number does not exceed five. My brother and I are all gone."

"It's good to have something to eat, but you still want to choose?" Xu Ting said lightly.

"My uncle's family still has a lot of dried fish. I'll bring you more next time." Xu Dong comforted him quickly.

"Thank you, uncle." Ma Lingling said cheerfully.

After chatting for a while, Xu Dong visited his sister's new home. Overall, it was pretty good. The furniture and appliances were complete, but a TV was missing.

"Didn't you bring the TV?"

Ma Lingling wailed: "When we moved, our TV was broken. I seriously doubt that my mother did it on purpose. She just didn't want me to watch TV."

"Sister, that's not the case, is it?" Xu Dong joked.

"Don't listen to Lingling's nonsense." Xu Ting said angrily, "Electric appliances are so expensive now. It's not like I have too much money and no place to spend it. How could I do such a stupid thing?"

"Uncle, I want to watch TV." Ma Xu shouted with a sad face.

"Okay, I'll take you to buy a TV as a gift from my uncle for moving to your new home." Xu Dong agreed with a smile.

"Dongzi, no, I'll just take the TV to be repaired after I'm done with this." Xu Ting declined politely.

Ma Lingling retorted: "The screen is broken. Where can I find a new one? I've checked online a long time ago. It's impossible to repair the damage to this level now."

"Sister, Lingling is right. Your TV cannot be repaired right now. I'd better take them to the second-hand home appliance market to have a look!"

"It's up to you. Don't you have a computer at home? Why do you need a TV?" Xu Ting nagged.

"Mom, we don't have internet at home, so what's the use of a computer?" Ma Lingling exclaimed.

Xu Dong couldn't persuade him anymore. The broadband fee now costs more than 15,000 yuan a year, which is indeed a huge expense for ordinary families.

"Okay, Lingling, Xiaoxu, let's go!"

"Wait a minute, bring the old TV with you, see if you can trade it in for a new one and get part of the price." Ma Jie came over carrying the old TV.

"That's fine." Xu Dong nodded.

After more than ten minutes, Xu Dong followed the navigation on his mobile phone and soon found the largest second-hand home appliance hypermarket in Langfang.

Although it is called a hypermarket, it is actually a store of less than 200 square meters. The products are quite complete, including color TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners and so on.

"Welcome."

"We want to see TV sets." Xu Dong said directly.

"Okay, please follow me."

Xu Dong was not satisfied with several TV sets, mainly because he thought they were too old. Those within two or three years were rarely seen.

"Do you have a newer TV?"

"Sorry, this is our latest TV set. The new TV set is short of parts and cannot be put on the market on a large scale for the time being."

"Okay, how much does this Haixin 55-inch TV set cost?" Xu Dong could only settle for the next best thing.

"8,500 yuan."

The big flare did not damage many TV sets. Overall, the popularity of TV sets is still very high at the moment.

Therefore, the market price is not exaggerated to an outrageous degree.

"Can you make it cheaper? And can you trade in old TVs for new ones?" Xu Dong asked.

"Sorry, we don't accept bargaining in our store, but we can trade in old TVs for new ones."

In the end, Xu Dong spent 7,500 yuan to buy the TV. The old TV was worth 1,000 yuan after much persuasion, which was considered a high price.
