My courtyard shelter

After get off work, Xu Dong took eight bags of rice home.

In the yard, the sisters Keke and his younger brothers were playing rubber band jumping. Having many children at home is also good. At least there is no shortage of people to play games.

"Dad is back." Dabao shouted.

Xu Dong came over and touched his eldest son's head: "Did you listen to the teacher in school today?"

"Yes, I listened." Dabao put on the appearance of a good baby.

"Dad, my brother had a fight with other classmates today." Erbao quickly complained.

Xu Dong frowned and asked patiently: "Dabao, tell Dad, why did you fight?"

"It was Xu Ru, he is a bad boy, he made Niuniu cry, I pushed him, and then we... we fought." Dabao explained quickly.

Xu Dong pulled his eldest son to him and carefully checked his body. Only then did he feel relieved and asked concernedly:

"Does it hurt?"

Dabao shook his head: "There were three of us fighting him alone. Xu Ru couldn't beat us."

"Erbao, did you fight too?" Xu Dong looked at his second son.

"No, I just hugged Xu Ru, I didn't hit him." Erbao argued.

"What about Xiaobao...what about you?"

Xiaobao clenched his fist: "I hit him."

"Fighting is wrong. If something happens, you should report it to the teacher immediately. Do you three remember it?" Xu Dong took the opportunity to educate him.

"Remember it." The three brothers nodded at the same time.

Xu Dong then changed the subject: "But if you really encounter a fight, you have to fight together like today. Didn't Dad teach you before? Brothers work together..."

"Its strength can break metal!" the three brothers said excitedly.

"Dad, there are still me and my sister!" Lele was unhappy.

"Okay, brother and sister, work together..."

"A sharp sword can break metal!" This time the voice was even louder.

Xu Dong patted the shoulders of the five children one by one, hoping that they would be like today when they grow up. Although he had a bad relationship with the eldest, he still hoped that the children would not repeat the same mistakes.

The next morning, before the triplets went to kindergarten, Yang Lina specially took two more cookies for Dabao.

"Dabao, it is wrong to fight between classmates. When you get to the classroom, give these two cookies to classmate Xu Ru, and don't forget to say "sorry", remember?"

Dabao was very reluctant: "Was it Xu Ru who bullied Niuniu first?"

"Then did you start it first?" Yang Lina asked back.

"I just pushed him lightly."

Yang Lina squatted down: "Dabao, tell your mother, are you a good child?"

"Yes, Dabao is a good child."

"Okay, good children should listen to their mothers?"

Dabao nodded.

"Okay, mom wants you to apologize now, will you listen?" Yang Lina persuaded.

Dabao finally put the biscuits in his pocket.

...

At the power company, Xu Dong came to the dormitory with a big bag just after punching in.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

"Chief Xu, you are here, please come in." Li Yanyi tried her best to please the person in front of her.

Xu Dong was a little uncomfortable: "Good morning, I brought you some old clothes left over from my family, do you mind?"

Although their old clothes were left over, at least there were no patches, which was much better than the tattered clothes on the other party.

"No, no, Chief Xu, thank you." Li Yanyi quickly took the big bag.

"Get ready, I'll come back in half an hour, and then I'll take you to the cafeteria to report."

"Thank you!"

Half an hour later, Xu Dong came again, and the four of them had all changed into the old clothes he brought, and their whole mental outlook was different.

It really is true that clothes make the man!

He brought the four people to the cafeteria and greeted the cafeteria manager.

Next, Xu Dong handed them over to Gao Yuemei. Anyway, Li Yanyi would only stay for a month, so she didn't even need to go through the entry procedures.

"Sister Gao, this is Li Yanyi. She will stay in the cafeteria for a while. Please help me take care of her."

Gao Yuemei nodded: "What about the three children?"

"They are also together. You don't need to take care of the children. Sister Li will take care of them herself."

"That's no problem."

Gao Yuemei was very happy. She was isolated in the cafeteria. It was good to have a new employee. Finally, there was someone to talk to.

"Sorry to bother you with this, Sister Gao!"

"No trouble, this is not a troublesome thing!"

"Call me if you have anything. There are still a lot of things in the office. I'm leaving first."

After Xu Dong left, Gao Yuemei first arranged the three children in the rest room, and then took Li Yanyi to visit the cafeteria.

During the visit, both parties introduced their respective situations to each other. In short, both of them were miserable people.

"Xiao Li, what are your plans for the future?"

"Let's talk about it after my husband comes out!" Li Yanyi shook her head.

Gao Yuemei is a straightforward person: "Given your husband's situation, he will definitely be sentenced, and it will take at least one or two years. How can you wait?"

"No way?" Li Yanyi was shocked.

"Of course not, Lao Meng in our cafeteria, her son was arrested last month for stealing a bicycle and was sentenced to three years."

"Then I..." Li Yanyi was completely panicked.

Gao Yuemei grabbed the other person's arm: "Xiao Li, now is not the time to be anxious. Your husband is in jail. You have to think carefully about the future of yourself and the children."

"What else can we do?"

"There is only one way in front of you now."

Li Yanyi grabbed a life-saving straw: "Sister Gao, tell me!"

"I said, don't be angry! According to my opinion, you should send the three children to the Children's Bureau as soon as possible. You can't even support yourself, how can you raise them?"

It is obvious that this matter is related to Xu Dong. It is likely that he privately instructed Gao Yuemei.

"No." Li Yanyi's attitude is extremely firm.

"Why? The Children's Bureau has visiting hours every week, it's not like we can't see each other."

"Our children are too weak, they will definitely be bullied if they go in."

Gao Yuemei sighed, "Being bullied is better than dying, right?"

"Sister Gao, I came from an orphanage myself, I don't want my children to repeat my old path, even if we die, our family will die together."

"Don't say unlucky words, no matter what, being alive is a hope." Gao Yuemei quickly said "Pooh", "If you don't want to send the children to the Children's Bureau, then you'll have a hard time."

"I'm not afraid of hard work."

"Okay, I'll ask Xiao Xu for you later to see if you can stay. The canteen's monthly salary is more than 6,000 yuan, renting a small basement, and it's barely enough if you save a little."

According to the current official grain price, a pound of grain is about 10 yuan, and the money spent on grain in a month is actually not much, and the salary of more than 6,000 yuan is enough.

"We can go back and continue to live in the sewer."
