My courtyard shelter

"Boss, no need, I'll just ask the company car to take me there. Read М"

After getting married, Datou immediately applied for public rental housing, and as expected, he was quickly approved. The house is located on the edge of the South Third Ring Road, in a 30-story office building.

Xiaoxiao echoed, "Yes, boss, I came here by bike, no need to take me there."

"You two don't have to be polite, it's only half an hour's drive, it won't take much time." Xu Dong insisted.

In fact, Datou was just here by the way, it didn't matter whether he took me there or not, the key point was that Xiaoxiao was a girl, and Xu Dong was really worried about letting her ride home alone.

Seeing that the boss insisted, Datou and Xiaoxiao had to get on the Mercedes-Benz.

We encountered several waves of inspections along the way. Xu Dong first sent Xiao Xiao home, followed by Datou, and finally, at Datou's invitation, he was ready to go to the other party's house for a while.

Datou's house is on more than 20 floors, with an area of ​​no more than 60 square meters, and a one-bedroom and one-living room layout. Bai Li hadn't slept yet and was sitting in the living room watching TV.

The TV was only more than 20 inches, bought from the second-hand market, and cost Datou a whole month's salary.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

"Wife, our leader is here."

Bai Li hurriedly stepped forward and greeted: "Chief Xu, hello, hello!"

"It's so late, I'm sorry to bother you." Xu Dong said politely.

"Don't bother, don't bother, I'm watching TV!"

After entering the house, Xu Dong found a stool and sat down casually, and Bai Li quickly poured him a glass of water.

Xu Dong took a sip and asked casually, "Bai Li, what happened to your mother's family later?"

"Alas!" Bai Li sighed, "What else can we do? We can only wait until the child turns 13 and comes out on his own. My brother and his family have also come to terms with it. At most, we can visit them more often in the future."

Datou interrupted, "What's there to be unhappy about? I went in with your brother last time and saw that they live well and eat well there, which is much better than home."

"There are pros and cons!" Xu Dong sighed.

"Chief Xu, you are so right. My parents are afraid that the child will be bullied in there. I heard from my mother that my sister-in-law cries alone every night."

"You will get used to it after a long time." Xu Dong comforted dryly.

"That's true."

Xu Dong changed the subject: "Bai Li, are you still working in the Second Hospital now?"

"No." Bai Li shook her head.

Datou was excited and rushed to answer: "Boss, I have good news for you. I'm going to be a father."

"Really? Congratulations to you two..."

Xu Dong hurriedly sent his blessings. He didn't expect that Datou, this silly boy, was so quick. He got pregnant more than a month after marriage.

Well, maybe they got married with a baby.

No wonder Datou was so enthusiastic tonight and insisted on inviting him to sit up. It turned out that he wanted to share this good news.

Next, Xu Dong stayed for another ten minutes, then got up and said goodbye. When he returned to the company dormitory, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and Section Chief Li was still awake.

"Xiao Xu, you're back."

"Well, Uncle Li, you're still awake?"

"I'm old, I don't sleep much." Section Chief Li replied. In fact, he missed his son. This sudden silence made him a little uncomfortable.

Xu Dong took out a cigarette and gestured.

Section Chief Li waved his hand and asked: "What did you do? Why did you come back so late?"

"I drove Xiao Xiao and Datou to see them off." Xu Dong stood at the door smoking.

"You are so thoughtful. It is not safe for Xiao Xiao, a girl, to walk at night."

"It was Lao Fang who asked me to do this. If he had a car, he would have sent her there himself."

As they chatted, a night passed.

...

In the blink of an eye, more than a week had passed.

After the initial chaos, social order finally returned to normal, and people gradually adapted to the pace of life under the "polar night".

Early in the morning, Section Chief Li gave Xu Dong a half-day holiday, asking him to take his luggage back and meet his family.

Xu Dong could not wait to return to the courtyard.

"Wife, I'm back."

Yang Lina came out of the room and reminded softly: "Keep your voice down, Dabao and the others are in class!"

"Have you hired a tutor?"

"Yes, it was confirmed yesterday, and today is the first class."

"What is this person's background, and how is his teaching effect?" Xu Dong asked with concern.

Yang Lina nodded: "It looks good. This teacher Yu used to be a teacher at Beihai Kindergarten. She has rich teaching experience. Dabao and the other three are very enthusiastic and are eager to answer questions!"

"It's good if it works. How much does it cost?"

"It's 10,000 yuan per month, and there are 20 kilograms of corn flour. Come twice a week, three classes each time, and one hour per class." Yang Lina introduced.

"The price is reasonable. How did you contact her?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"I found it online. I interviewed three or four teachers before. Dabao and the others didn't like any of them. They just liked this teacher Yu. They said that Teacher Yu has a nice voice."

"Okay, after the class is over, remind me and I'll go say hello."

"Okay, I'll call you then."

After putting away his luggage, Xu Dong brought the rice cooker to the kitchen. Xu's mother was making soup. He knew it was mung bean soup by the smell.

"Old Third, when did you come back?"

"I just got home. I put the rice cooker here." Xu Dong put the rice cooker on the chopping board beside him.

"Have you finished eating the fish balls?" Xu's mother asked directly.

Xu Dong nodded: "I finished eating a long time ago. I shared it with my boss. He praised your fish balls for being good and chewy."

"Don't you even look at who made them!" Xu's mother said proudly.

After drinking a bowl of mung bean soup, Xu Dong came to the gatehouse. There were already a lot of express deliveries piled up inside. This time, he had time to sort them out.

Yang Lina saw it and ran over to help.

Xu Dong first dismantled the largest cartons, a total of five refrigerators. Fortunately, there was a forklift, and the couple easily moved the refrigerators to the basement.

What came next was a square wooden box. Xu Dong took great pains to dismantle the box.

"Honey, what's in it?"

Xu Dong was a little uncertain: "If I remember correctly, it should be a gasoline generator."

"Why did you buy a generator? Don't you have solar energy at home?" Yang Lina asked in confusion.

"I just wanted to be more safe. When I saw it, I saw that the price was not expensive, so I added it to the shopping cart." Xu Dong explained.

"How much did it cost?" Yang Lina asked.

Xu Dong recalled, "It was either more than 10,000 or more than 20,000. I can't remember the exact amount."

"No wonder you spent more than 500,000. A generator costs 10,000 or 20,000 yuan."

"I think the most worthwhile thing I bought is this engine. Honey, look up at the sky. If there is a power outage, solar energy will definitely not be counted on. Isn't this generator just useful?"

Xu Dong smiled brightly. This time it was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse. He had never thought of this before.
