My courtyard shelter

"Aunt Wang, do you have other considerations?" Yang Lina asked tentatively. ReadМ

From the tone of the other person's words, it was obvious that there was something in his words.

Wang Xiujuan said happily: "Nana still understands me!"

"What do you mean?" Xu Ma asked in surprise.

"I also heard from insiders that this year and next, the higher-ups will require us to further reduce the rate of food consumption. In other words, food rations will only become less and less in the future."

Xu Ma asked: "So what?"

"Your family is not short of food, so of course there is no need to worry, but what about other people? When they come to borrow food, do you think we should borrow it or not?" Wang Xiujuan asked.

"I definitely won't borrow it, only a fool would borrow it!" Xu Ma said matter-of-factly.

"Since I don't want to borrow it, it's better to cut it off now, so as not to be in a dilemma and cause more troubles."

Yang Lina felt it made sense: "Mom, Aunt Wang is right. It would be better for us to have less contact with that dance troupe in the future."

"So that's what happened!"

Xu Ma was a little belatedly aware that at the party just now, several dance friends with whom she was usually close asked her in a roundabout way if they could get food, but she refused them all.

Everyone now knows that food is precious. Although their family has stored a lot of food, it is not to the point of giving it away indiscriminately.

At this time, Lele came over with a plate of snacks.

"Grandma Wang, have some snacks. These snacks are all made by my mother and I."

Wang Xiujuan looked at Lele with a strange expression: "This child is so polite. He knows how to make snacks at such a young age. He will be very good in the future."

"Thank you!" Lele smiled and narrowed her eyes.

Yang Lina laughed and scolded: "If she puts half of her mind into studying, I will be satisfied. What's the use of being able to make snacks, and she can't go to college."

"You can't say that!" Wang Xiujuan shook her head, "It's a good thing for children to be interested. They should be cultivated more. There is no harm in learning a craft."

"Old Wang is right, Nana, don't be too strict with your children. It's summer vacation, so let them have more fun!" Xu's mother quickly agreed.

"Oh, I get it. Anyway, I have given up my expectations for a long time. As long as they are not at the bottom of the class, I can accept it." Yang Lina said with a helpless look.

After Lele left, the three of them returned to the topic.

While eating the bun, Wang Xiujuan told the two of them the "insider" information she had just learned: "Water restrictions will begin again in a while, so it's best to store more water at home."

"The country has built so many desalination plants, why does it need to restrict water?" Yang Lina asked doubtfully.

Nowadays, as long as the water supply can be guaranteed in the morning and evening, it is considered a normal water supply.

"Your father-in-law should be aware of this. The plant factory in the eastern suburbs will be put into use soon. It is said that it will occupy more than half of the fresh water resources. Is this water shortage?"

"Since the plant factory is about to go into operation, why do we have to reduce the ration every month?" Xu Ma asked with a frown.

Xu’s mother often heard her old man talking about plant factories. Xu’s mother was no stranger to it, so she even watched popular science videos on TV.

"There is not enough food to eat. How much food do our country's more than one billion people eat in a day?

Moreover, only coastal areas can afford to build large-scale plant factories. Inland areas are too short of water, so they can only do it on a small scale and cannot achieve a climate change.

I heard from our family member Zhang Kai that at present, more than 70% of the food in the entire inland region depends on support from superiors, and the food pressure is very high. "

"Oh, it's hard!" Xu's mother lamented.

"Aunt Wang, do you think our country will be in chaos like the beautiful country?" Yang Lina said worriedly. There are many children at home, and she really can't imagine that kind of situation.

Wang Xiujuan smiled and did not answer directly.

"Don't worry about this. As long as we survive these two or three years of hard times, our country will only get better and better."

"I'm not afraid of hard times."

Wang Xiujuan said angrily: "Well, why am I telling you this? With your family's conditions, no matter how hard it is outside, it won't be your turn."

"Old Wang, what you said is that the things in our family are not stolen or robbed, but my third child bought them with money." Xu Ma said seriously.

"Yes, yes, okay, just think I said something wrong."

Yang Lina quickly changed the subject: "Aunt Wang, are your family still used to living in public rental housing?"

"It was a bit uncomfortable at first, but I got used to it as I lived there. The small house has its advantages, and the family is very popular. If I hadn't gotten used to living here, I wouldn't have planned to move out."

"What are you afraid of? It's okay to run in both directions. It's not like we won't be able to see each other." Xu's mother comforted her.

"You're right. I can't take any time off. If I really stay there, it will be uncomfortable for me and they will be uncomfortable too."

This chat lasted for more than an hour.

In the end, Wang Xiujuan spent 3,000 yuan and took away a pack of snacks and a big watermelon.

…

It's soon the weekend again.

Xu Dong planned to visit Xiang Xin, who had a different identity. She was the widow of a martyr. As his direct boss, he needed to visit on behalf of the company.

Originally, this was Section Chief Li's job, but he had no time at all. He was focused on his wife and children and couldn't bear to leave.

There was no choice but to let Xu Dong do it for him.

You can't go home alone. Although Section Chief Li has approved a fund of five thousand yuan, it is definitely not appropriate to give money away.

He privately changed it to two kilograms of fish and two kilograms of dried shrimp. This gift is definitely heavy enough. The extra money can be regarded as his own intention!

The little baby is so pitiful. He has never even seen his biological father.

Xu Dong was about to go out, and Yang Lina suddenly called him: "Husband, wait."

"What's wrong?" Xu Dong turned around and asked.

Yang Lina stuffed the eldest son to her husband: "Take Dabao with you too. You take him out for more walks. Don't stay at home all day. It's not good for his development."

The triplets are almost three years old. It's time to take them out to see the outside world, especially in the past few months. The children have rarely gone out. This is not good.

"Uh, I still have to drive. How can I keep an eye on them?" Xu Dong shook his head.

"Then don't drive, take a taxi." Yang Lina insisted.

Xu Dong rubbed his head and felt a headache.

Yang Lina teased the child: "Dabao, do you like to go out and play with Dad?"

"I like it." Dabao jumped happily.

"Look, Dabao is willing, what are you hesitating about?" Yang Lina said proudly.

In the end, Xu Dong had no choice but to carry his eldest son and set off. As for the gifts and milk bottles, they were all put in the backpack, which was not a big deal.

He called a taxi and arrived at Xiang Xin's house half an hour later.

Because it was a natural birth, Xiang Xin stayed in the hospital for less than three days before returning.

"Ding Dong..."

"I'm here, wait a minute."

It was Xiang Xin who opened the door. He looked happy, as if he saw something delicious.

"Boss, why are you here?"
