My courtyard shelter

Chapter 245 Oysters

Since October, the temperature has dropped sharply in the morning and evening. The triplets have to wear thick cotton clothes to go to kindergarten every morning.

But this made it easier for Dabao to hide things. Niuniu's little face became more rounded under his feeding.

During this period, many major events occurred internationally.

First, there is internal strife in the EU. Several parties refuse to give in to each other, almost to the point of incompatibility;

Secondly, with the signing of the New Antarctic Convention, there is a new order in Antarctica;

Third, scientists have discovered that the Arctic and Antarctic glaciers are melting at an accelerated rate and are expected to disappear in a few years. However, due to strong evaporation, the two offset each other, so the sea level did not rise much and generally stabilized;

In the end, the commander-in-chief of the beautiful country was assassinated. This was the third commander-in-chief to be assassinated this year, which triggered a series of chaos.

October 9th is the National Day of Daxia.

This year's National Day is a bit dull. There are not many celebrations planned, except for a few groups of themed sculptures erected in Victory Square.

As agreed last year, Xu Dong took the Coco sisters to Victory Square early in the morning, preparing to watch the National Day flag-raising ceremony again.

At a glance, the crowd this year is no less than last year.

After the grand flag-raising ceremony, Xu Dong took the two sisters to Panjiayuan for a stroll. Today was the National Day, and Panjiayuan was much busier than usual.

"Dad, I'm hungry." Lele hugged her father's arm and said coquettishly.

The father and daughter set out at five o'clock in the morning. They didn't even have time to eat breakfast and only brought a few snacks.

The original plan was to come back for breakfast.

"Let's go, daddy will take you to see if there is a snack bar."

After getting out of the car, Xu Dong took the two sisters and walked along the shopping area. After walking around for a long time, they didn't find any place selling food.

Lele cried bitterly: "Dad, let's go home!"

Coco also has a bitter face.

"Let's take a look at the street stall area again, and then we'll go back after watching it." Xu Dong coaxed.

"Okay, Dad, you have to keep your word." Lele said with a puffed face.

The father and daughter came to the street stall area, where there were more people. Xu Dong held a daughter in one hand, for fear that the sisters would get separated.

After walking around for more than ten minutes, Xu Dong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he discovered something incredible.

"Keke, Lele, what do you think that is?"

Coco looked in the direction of her father's arm. It turned out that he was selling shells, but the shells looked a bit ugly and not good-looking at all.

"Dad, what kind of shell is that?"

"Well, these are oysters. They are edible. Can dad buy them back for you to try?" Xu Dong explained with a smile.

In the past, my family's conditions were not good, so I rarely ate seafood. Occasionally, I would order a few scallop vermicelli at the barbecue stall. The sisters have grown up and have never eaten oysters!

"Okay." Lele nodded quickly.

Xu Dong stepped forward and asked: "Boss, how do you sell these oysters?"

The stall owner is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a sun hat, with dark skin and a faint smell of the sea.

"If we don't sell it, one oyster will be exchanged for a pound of corn flour, or half a pound of rice."

Xu Dong frowned: "It's too expensive for you. Can't you exchange one pound for one pound?"

"Brother, I finally recovered these oysters from the beach. It took me several hours of driving to get here. You can help me earn some hard-earned money!"

"How much does one of your oysters weigh?"

"Each one is more than four taels. Don't worry, I specially pick the big ones to sell. If they are too small, they cannot be sold at a high price." The street stall owner said flatteringly.

"How many are there in total in this bucket?"

"There are 38 in total."

Xu Dong thought for a while and simply said: "I've got it all, a total of 30 kilograms of corn flour, what do you think?"

The stall owner hesitated.

"The temperature will get higher and higher later. If you don't sell it now, when the oysters are too hot to death, they will not be able to sell at a high price." Xu Dong advised.

"Please add more. If it's only 30 kilograms, I won't even be able to make back the fare." The street stall owner yelled.

"Then it's a fixed price, 32 pounds. This is my last reserve price." After saying this, Xu Dong pulled the two sisters to leave.

The street stall owner quickly agreed: "Okay, 32 pounds is 32 pounds. We can trade now."

Xu Dong nodded with satisfaction, then spoke to the stall owner and went back to the car to get 32 ​​kilograms of corn flour.

Ten minutes later, the transaction was completed, and the stall owner gave Xu Dong even the bucket of water.

Driving back, Lele shouted to eat garlic oysters as soon as she got out of the car. Just now in the car, her father showed them a gourmet video about garlic oysters, which made the two sisters hungry.

Xu Ma took the bucket with a smile. The third child in the family really had nothing to say when she was looking for something to eat.

In the afternoon, Xu Dong went to Datou's wedding alone. The conditions of Datou's home were not good and they didn't even have a wedding room, so he didn't take the children with him this time.

The wedding venue was chosen in a hotel, and Datou directly booked a suite. Since there were not many relatives on both sides, one suite was enough.

When we arrived at the place, except for the bride and groom, all the people in the suite were colleagues from Beimen. Xu Dong thought that the boss had notified them at the wrong time and had arrived early.

He called Datou aside and asked quietly: "Datou, what's going on? Where are your mother-in-law's family members? Why haven't any of them arrived?"

"Boss, Bai Li's family can't come." Datou said bitterly.

"What happened?"

Xu Dong frowned and asked, wouldn't there be another bloody betrothal gift drama?

"Alas!" Datou scratched his scalp, "Just this morning, Bai Li's nephew and niece were forcibly taken away by the Children's Bureau.

Bai Li's parents and brother and sister-in-law were all arrested for trying to stop them. Bai Li and I went out to buy things in the morning, so we were not involved. Otherwise, this wedding would probably not be held."

"Children's Bureau?"

Xu Dong knew what happened when he heard this. The two children must be in poor physical condition.

A few days ago, I heard from Datou that the conditions of my mother-in-law's family were very poor, but I didn't expect it to be this bad.

Datou nodded: "Well, the two children are also pitiful, and their bodies are severely malnourished. If you ask me, it's good to be in prison, at least they can have enough food."

Xu Dong couldn't comment on this, so he had to change the topic:

"When will the people be released?"

"I asked, they will be detained for two days, and they will probably be released tomorrow afternoon." Datou replied.

"Then will you still hold the wedding?"

"Yes, Bai Li and I rented clothes, which cost more than 2,000 yuan a day. And colleagues are coming, we can't let everyone go for nothing!"

Xu Dong patted Datou's shoulder. Datou's luck is also terrible. He always encounters some bad things.

In the end, the wedding of the young couple had to end hastily.

Xu Dong directly wrapped a big red envelope of 2,800 yuan, and also gave 600 yuan for Xiang Xin.
