My courtyard shelter

"There are some other things, you will know when the express arrives. Hey, it's so late, I'm going to bed." After saying that, he just rubbed oil on his soles and left.

Ten minutes later, Yang Lina also returned to the bedroom.

"Husband, tell me what you bought?"

Xu Dong yawned: "I bought a second-hand elderly scooter for my mother. Now the weather is cold and there are many sandstorms. With a car, it will be more convenient for my mother to pick up and drop off Dabao and the others in the future."

"How much does this car cost?" Yang Lina asked curiously.

"Two hundred and thirty thousand, don't tell mom. I plan to give her a surprise. You can also drive this car. It's very convenient for going shopping."

"Why is it so expensive? I remember that mobility scooters used to cost tens of thousands of yuan at most?"

Xu Dong shook his head and then explained: "You also said that was before. Now that private cars have been discontinued, it is normal for prices to increase several times."

"What kind of car does it look like? Look at the photos." Yang Lina sat down on the bed.

Xu Dong took out his mobile phone and opened the introduction page directly.

Yang Lina took it over and took a look. The car looked good, and it looked 70% to 80% new. It had four seats in the front and rear, and could just fit three little ones.

"When will it arrive?"

"About ten days and a half. It has to be transported from Shangdu, which is a bit far away." Xu Dong replied.

"Can this car be on the road now?" Yang Lina asked worriedly.

Xu Dong waved his hand: "Don't go to the main road, it should be fine to walk on the sidewalk."

"That's not bad."

"Honey, do you want to learn a driver's license? I will buy you a car then." Xu Dong suddenly asked.

Yang Lina shook her head repeatedly: "No, I have a bad sense of direction and I'm not suitable for driving."

"Isn't there a navigation?" Xu Dong advised.

"I don't go out much, so don't bother. Besides, the garage at home is so big that I can't fit a third car."

Xu Dong thought about it and stopped trying to persuade him.

The next day was Saturday. The Ma Lingling siblings did not come over this weekend, mainly because Ma Xu's school organized a physical examination. The last physical examination was in August, and it has been exactly three months since then.

Xu Dong also received a notice that people from the Children's Bureau would arrange a visit on weekends.

On Sunday afternoon, two staff members from the Children's Bureau came. They were both young and looked like little girls who had just stepped out of society.

The triplets looked very healthy. The two young ladies simply measured their height and weight and then left.

Before leaving, a female staff member touched Dabao's head: "Kids, you need to do more physical exercise, do you know?"

"I know." Dabao nodded blankly.

…

When he went to work on Monday, Xu Dong encountered his first security incident since joining the company.

Not long after arriving in the office, Datou ran in.

"Boss, something happened."

Xu Dong stopped drinking tea, turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

"We just caught a thief." Datou gasped.

"Thief? How did people get in?" Xu Dong asked with a frown.

The security work of the power company is quite strict, and ordinary people cannot enter at all.

"According to the thief's own account, he got in early in the morning lying on his back in the garbage truck."

"Have you called the police? Where is the thief? Where is he now?" Xu Dong stood up and asked.

Datou quickly replied: "The thief is still at the north gate. We have called the police. The police should be here soon."

"What did the thief steal?"

"He broke into two cars in the parking lot and stole a cell phone in total."

Xu Dong nodded, and then returned to the north gate with Da Tou. The police had just arrived and were questioning the thief.

The thief looked to be in his thirties, was very thin, spoke incoherently, his face was full of despair, and his spirit seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

"Officer Sun, how is the situation?" Xu Dong stepped forward and asked. Officer Sun was also an acquaintance. The two had cooperated many times before.

"The facts of the case are very clear. We will bring the person back to the bureau later to make a record, and the case will be almost closed." Officer Sun nodded with a smile.

"That's good."

In less than half an hour, Officer Sun returned with the thief, while Xu Dong was busy reporting the situation to Section Chief Li. It was said that this matter was mainly the responsibility of the labor dispatch company, but they were also involved.

Fortunately, no greater damage was caused.

"Let the people below work more seriously. From now on, all external vehicles entering and leaving the company must be strictly inspected. Don't be careless."

"Yes, I understand."

Section Chief Li patted the table gently:

"Also, it's almost the end of the year, and petty thefts are particularly frequent. Let everyone cheer up. If something goes wrong again, this year's year-end bonus will be lost."

"I will remind everyone." Xu Dong agreed quickly.

After chatting about official matters, Section Chief Li changed the subject: "Xiao Xu, can you help me get some nutritional supplements?"

"Nutritional products? Uncle Li, are you aunt..."

"Alas, your aunt has run out of milk recently. The third-stage milk powder is fine as a complementary food, but it is not suitable as a staple food."

"Then I will help you inquire later to see if I can get a piece of fish meat." Xu Dong thought for a while and said.

Ke Li was overjoyed: "The fish and meat are good, Xiao Xu, just go and get them. You can tell me the price."

"Okay, if I get it later, I'll take it directly to your house."

"Then please, Xiao Xu!"

After lunch, Xu Dong suddenly received a call from Officer Sun. Something unexpected happened in the morning, and he needed to go there in person.

Xu Dong said hello to Section Chief Li, and then immediately rushed to the Qianmen Street Police Station.

After entering the door, he asked directly:

"Officer Sun, what happened?"

Officer Sun pulled Xu Dong to sit down, and then explained: "Section Chief Xu, when we were interrogating the suspect, we found that the other party's situation was a bit special, and we might need your help."

"Please go ahead."

"The suspect is Zhang Zhensong. He has a wife and three children. The children are not very old. The whole family currently lives in a sewer near your company.

According to the suspect's confession, their family has been out of food for a day, so he had to come out and take the risk to steal things. Now he has been arrested, and his wife and children have no one to take care of them..."

Xu Dong finally understood that it was a hot potato. No wonder he was asked to come over, but he didn't want to take over this trouble.

"Why don't you send the three children to the Children's Bureau?"

"The mother of the children is quite stubborn. She would rather let the whole family starve to death than be separated from the children. They hid in the sewers to avoid inspection."

"What does the bureau mean?" Xu Dong tried to ask.

Officer Sun said embarrassedly: "Chief Xu, let's not beat around the bush. You know the situation in our bureau. We don't have any extra food to support them, so we can only ask you to help."
