My courtyard shelter

"Sister, why don't you plant potatoes and sweet potatoes, but instead plant sunflowers?"

Xu Dong was very curious. The yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes was much higher than that of sunflowers. ReadМ

The middle-aged woman explained: "I have planted sunflowers in my hometown in the countryside before. They like warm and cold temperatures, are relatively drought-tolerant, and have lower soil requirements. I think they are more reliable than growing potatoes."

"Really? Sister, you know so much." Xu Dong praised.

"You'll know after planting it once. It's very simple." The middle-aged woman said modestly.

"Okay, how many kilograms of seeds do you have in total?"

"It's nine and a half pounds in total. Before I came here, I had been exposed to the sun and there was no moisture at all." The middle-aged woman quickly assured her.

"I'll trade cornmeal with you. How much do you want to trade for?"

"I won't change anything less than 40 pounds."

"Forty pounds? Can it be less?"

In fact, the fat content of melon seeds is as high as 50%, and they are high in calories, so they are indeed worth the price.

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, "The minimum is thirty-eight pounds. If it's less, I won't sell it. I might as well take it home and eat it myself!"

"Okay, thirty-eight pounds is thirty-eight pounds. I'm going to get the corn flour. Just wait for me. Don't sell it to anyone else."

"Brother, don't worry. I will sell it to you if I say I want it. I will only consider other people if you don't want it."

Ten minutes later, the transaction was completed.

The middle-aged woman carried a large bag of corn flour and left with a smile on her face; Xu Dong put the melon seeds away and continued to wander around the street stall area.

"How did you sell this cactus?"

He plans to buy it and put it on his desk. The green color is eye-catching and it can also purify the air. It has multiple uses.

"Two hundred dollars."

"It's expensive." Xu Dong counter-offered, "Can a hundred dollars be enough?"

"Okay, cash or scan the QR code?"

After buying the cactus, I came across something good again, this time it was half a basket of eggs.

Although there is no shortage of eggs at home, it is definitely not a loss to buy them. Section Chief Li just asked him to help get some nutritional supplements, and eggs are very suitable.

"Boss, how do you sell eggs?"

The stall owner was an old man, and the other person pointed out a finger and said: "No money, one egg for a pound of flour or rice."

"Corn meal instead?"

"Corn flour is also fine, but you can only exchange two kilograms for one."

With the shortage of food rations, the price of corn flour on the market has increased a lot recently. In the past, one pound of hybrid rice could be exchanged for two pounds of corn flour, but now it can only be exchanged for one pound and seven taels.

"How many eggs are in the basket?"

"22 in total."

"No bad guy, right?"

Xu Dong picked two eggs at random, put them next to his ears and shook them gently.

This is the method his mother taught him. Fresh eggs have no sound, while rotten eggs make a slag sound.

"Don't worry, eggs are in such short supply, how can they be expired?"

"Okay, I want all the eggs. Just wait for me and I'll get you some cornmeal."

Ten minutes later, the eggs were obtained, but the time was almost up. Xu Dong packed up and drove directly back to the courtyard.

Leave the raw melon seeds to take away for dinner.

Not long after dinner, Xiaoyun next door arrived as expected. This time Xu Dong served her with vegetables and scooped out half a bowl of pickled fish.

After Xiaoyun left, Xu Dong looked at Coco and Lele and couldn't help frowning:

"Eat well. It's not a good habit to be picky about food. Look at Xiaoyun, you two. No matter what food Dad gives her, she will always eat it."

"Dad, I want to eat braised pork ribs." Keke said charmingly.

Lele complained even more: "Yes, Dad, it's shrimps and fish every day. Can you ask grandma to change the dishes?"

"It's good if you have a stutter. You two are still picky. Fortunately, you have a good father. Otherwise, let alone eating meat, it would be difficult to have a full meal."

"Hehe, dad, you are so kind."

"I love you, Dad!"

Faced with the daily coquettishness of the little cotton-padded jackets, Xu Dong had no resistance at all, and in the end he had no choice but to let it go:

"Okay, grandma is going to make sea cucumber for you tomorrow. Do you two still remember what sea cucumber tastes like?"

The twins shook their heads at the same time.

The family was not wealthy before, and the last time the Coco sisters ate sea cucumbers was a few years ago, when Father Xu celebrated his sixtieth birthday.

"Dad, are sea cucumbers delicious?"

"It's delicious. Don't worry, you can have it at noon tomorrow."

…

On the penultimate day of May, Lao Fang personally took Sister Han Caixian back to Yanjing.

Han Huixian finally got her green card, which cost more than 100,000 yuan and 250 kilograms of rice. It was really a hemorrhage.

On the day of his return, Lao Fang took his new wife directly to the company and sent wedding invitations to his colleagues.

Looking at Lao Fang's new wife, several old comrades were extremely envious. Who would have thought that Lao Fang, who was over fifty years old, would still have such good luck.

"Old Fang, congratulations."

Uncle Chen's mood is very complicated. Who doesn't want to marry a new wife and have a second life? Unfortunately, he has too many family ties, unless he really doesn't want to be old.

"Hey, come to my house for a drink tomorrow night. We won't go home until we get drunk."

That's right, the wedding is scheduled for tomorrow night.

Why so urgent?

Firstly, everything at the wedding was kept simple, and since neither the man nor the woman had any relatives, the most they could do was invite colleagues from the security department to get together;

Secondly, everyone had agreed to go to see Xiang Xin together on the weekend. On one side was the death of her husband, and on the other side was the wedding. It would be bad if the two sides collided.

Section Chief Li said sourly:

"Lao Fang, you are so lucky this time. You have married such a good daughter-in-law. You must treat Xiao Han well in the future, do you know?"

Although he had learned about Lao Fang's marriage from Xu Dong a long time ago, he really didn't expect that the bride would be so young and so elegant, and even prettier than his own wife.

Han Caixian smiled and said, "Thank you, Section Chief Li, but our Lao Fang treats me very well, you don't have to worry."

"Yes, Xiao Han is my daughter-in-law. If I don't treat her well, who else can I treat well?" Lao Fang said proudly.

"Oh, look at these two people, they are really newlyweds, the husband sings and the wife follows, these mushy words are like free money." Sister Feng teased.

Han Caixian blushed, and Lao Fang hugged his wife's waist, "Okay, stop teasing Xiao Han, come to my house directly after get off work tomorrow night, and we'll see you there."

"Lao Fang, did you invite Xiao Xiang?" Xu Dong took the opportunity to ask.

Lao Fang nodded: "I sent her an invitation message, but she declined."

"It's good that she declined. I was really afraid that she would show off!" Chief Li sighed.

"I heard from Lao Xiang that Xiang Xin is much better now and can eat now. It seems that she has figured it out." Uncle Chen agreed.

Sister Feng said sincerely: "It's good that she's okay. This girl is too worrying."

Lao Fang saw that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, and it was not good to stay any longer, so he quickly sent out the invitations, and then took his wife to the north gate.
