My courtyard shelter

After staying in the hospital for a week, Lao Fang was finally discharged. He just needs to rest slowly.

"Xiao Xu, thank you for this time." Lao Fang thanked sincerely.

Xu Dong waved his hand and casually put a bucket of milk powder and a piece of fish on the table. The fish weighed about ten kilograms.

"I found some nutritional supplements for you. Don't be reluctant to eat them yourself."

"How can I be so embarrassed! I have eaten your food for so many days."

After saying that, Lao Fang took out his mobile phone and transferred 200,000 yuan to Xu Dong. He was so poor that he only had money left.

Even according to the market price, this money is too much.

But Xu Dong still accepted it. He thought about sending Lao Fang some dried shrimps later. This thing is durable.

Before leaving, Xu Dong specifically reminded him: "The section chief said that you should take a good rest for a while, and don't rush to work."

"I know, you tell Lao Li that I will take a full month off and come back to work in May." Lao Fang nodded.

"No problem, I will definitely tell you."

As soon as Xu Dong left, Lao Fang took the fish out. It was a pity that the milk powder was adult milk powder, otherwise he could just take it with him.

Looking at the address recorded in the mobile phone, Lao Fang spent more than half an hour to finally find Dabao's home.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

Dabao ran over in slippers to open the door. Seeing that it was Lao Fang, the little guy immediately said excitedly: "Grandpa, why are you here?"

This "grandpa" was not out of politeness, but for real.

Just yesterday, Dabao recognized Lao Fang as his godfather in front of his parents in the hospital, and Xu Dong also knew about this.

"Grandpa is here to see you." Lao Fang looked kind.

At this time, Dabao's mother also came over and quickly invited people into the house. Her child followed this godfather to mix fish soup for several days. Dabao was able to recover so quickly, all thanks to the fish soup.

Lao Fang handed the fish meat to Dabao's mother, "Put the fish meat in the refrigerator quickly, and give it to Dabao later. My granddaughter is too thin."

Dabao's mother looked tangled, but Dabao had no scruples and explained:

"Grandpa, we don't have a refrigerator at home."

"Uncle Fang, this fish meat is too expensive, we can't accept it, you should take it back!" Dabao's mother said bitterly.

Lao Fang sighed and could only make the second best: "Okay, I'll take the fish meat back later, and bring it over next time when it's ready."

The godgranddaughter's house didn't have a refrigerator, so the fish meat couldn't be kept at all.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Dabao said sensibly.

After drinking a sip of water, Lao Fang followed Dabao around the house. The house was not big, about 60 square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.

There was basically nothing in the room except some simple furniture. It was obvious that the family didn't have good financial conditions.

"Xiao Xiao, when did you buy this house?"

"Uncle Fang, we applied for this house from the city. Our neighborhood is all public rental housing." Dabao's mother replied.

"No wonder, I was wondering why these houses are built so densely. How much is your monthly rent?"

"Eight hundred yuan."

Dabao's mother looked relieved. Compared with the high housing prices in Yanjing, this rent is very conscientious.

"It's not expensive." Old Fang nodded and continued to ask, "Is it not easy to apply for this house?"

"Well, fortunately, Dabao's father is a doctoral student and meets the conditions for settling in. In addition, the child is under seven years old, so we applied for it. There are too many people queuing now."

Old Fang wanted to take the family of three to live with him. His house is 108 square meters, which is more than enough for four people, but he couldn't say it.

He was afraid that the other party would misunderstand him, and he was also afraid that he would not know the person well and let the wolf into the house.

"Xiao Xiao, where are you from?"

"We are from Jinzhou, our hometown is Pingyang, and we just moved to Yanjing last October." Dabao's mother answered.

"Is it because of work?"

Dabao's mother shook her head, "It's mainly because we can't stay in our hometown any longer. There is a serious water shortage there, and everyone is running away. Many people either run to the provincial capital or to the coastal area."

"It's good to come out. There is a seawater desalination plant in Yanjing, and there is not too much water shortage at ordinary times." Lao Fang comforted.

"Dabao's father said the same thing. I originally wanted to go to the provincial capital, but her father insisted on coming to Yanjing." Dabao's mother echoed.

Lao Fang sat on a stool, holding Dabao in his arms, and Dabao was playing a single-player game with Lao Fang's mobile phone.

"What about your old house? Have you sold it?"

"No, I can't even if I want to. I can only wait for the drought to end and then move back."

"I see you don't even have a TV here, why don't you bring home appliances?"

Dabao's mother smiled bitterly: "It wasn't even a few months after we left, and something happened in Pingyang. It was said that it was a mess. We don't dare to go back now. I guess everything at home is gone."

"What are your plans next?" Lao Fang asked with concern, mainly worried about Dabao's future life.

"When Dabao goes to elementary school in the second half of the year, I want to go out and find a job, try to save more money, and improve my child's life.

As for the house, I don't want to think about it. Public rental housing is good, and the housing prices are so expensive now that I can't afford it even if I don't eat or drink for a lifetime."

Lao Fang smiled and suggested:

"I work at an electric power company. Do you want to come to our company? Although it's not a formal job, the working hours are relatively fixed, and it's convenient to pick up the children from school."

"What do you do specifically?"

Dabao's mother was very tempted. It's too difficult to find a job now. If it weren't for the child's father's professional match, he would probably be unemployed at home.

These days, everything is practical, and sometimes even a PhD is not useful.

"Being a security guard like me is very easy. I patrol every day and the salary is five or six thousand a month."

"Is it difficult to apply?" The salary has far exceeded her expectations, Dabao's mother asked hurriedly.

"Not difficult at all." Lao Fang chuckled and said, "Xiao Xu, you know, he is our captain. You just need to say a word to him about going to work."

"Brother Xu is so young, I didn't expect he is already the captain."

"He is not only the captain, he is also a rich man, very capable!" Lao Fang said with emotion.

Rich man!

Dabao's mother also saw this. She originally hoped that her child would recognize Xu Dong as her godfather, but he had no intention of doing so.

"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Fang."

Old Fang put Dabao down, "No trouble, I will officially go back to work next month, why don't you go with me, as for Dabao, just find a kindergarten for her."

Dabao's mother thought about it, and she would work as a security guard, earning five or six thousand yuan a month, which was enough for her daughter to go to kindergarten, so she nodded and agreed.

"Then it's settled, you go back and discuss it with Dabao's father, if the tuition is not enough, I can help you with some."

"Enough, we will pay back some savings." Dabao's mother replied quickly.
