My courtyard shelter

"Brother Xu, your yard is quite nice, especially the location. It's a bit quiet in the midst of chaos. Read"

Li Chao looked at the courtyard, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. It was much more pleasing to the eye than his own big villa.

Xu's father said a few polite words, and after introducing Xu's mother and Yang Lina, he took Li Chao to the place where dried goods and bacon were stored. All the goods were packed into cartons and neatly stacked.

"Brother Li, do you want to check it out?"

Of course Li Chao would not make such a low-level mistake, so he naturally stepped forward and randomly checked a few cartons.

There is no problem with the air-dried meat, but the bacon is a little dry due to the sun, and the color is dull. The taste may be slightly worse, but it is not harmful.

"No problem, I'm very satisfied with this batch."

Father Xu was very happy and immediately invited Li Chao into the living room. The next step was the specific transaction process.

Li Chao felt a warmth as soon as he entered the living room, so he asked curiously:

"Brother Xu, your home is also equipped with a diesel generator?"

Father Xu shook his head, pointed to the top of his head, and explained: "It's not a diesel generator. The roof is covered with solar tiles. My home uses solar power."

"No wonder I didn't hear the sound of the engine. Your house has been renovated for a few years, right? Solar power generation has only become popular in the past two years."

"The house was bought last year, and solar energy was installed at that time." Dad Xu replied.

Li Chao nodded: "That makes sense."

As soon as Xu's father and Li Chao sat down, Xu's mother came over with two cups of tea and said smoothly: "It's not a good tea, just treat it to quench your thirst."

"Thank you!" Li Chao thanked him quickly.

After Xu's mother served tea, she did not leave. She turned around and sat next to Xu's father. It seemed that she was worried that Xu's father would collect the money alone.

As for Xu Dong, out of sight and out of mind, he took the Coco sisters to hide on the second floor to play games.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then the main event came.

Li Chao returned to the cab of the truck and took out a bulging black convenience bag. Then he returned to the living room and handed it directly to Xu's father.

Dad Xu opened it and saw bundles of hundred-yuan bills inside.

Xu Ma was also prepared. She had asked for a banknote detector from Xu Dong before, and the two of them checked the banknotes in front of Li Chao.

After checking it three times, there was not one cent too much, not one cent too little, and there was not a single counterfeit note.

"Exactly 600,000, brother Li, we have all the money and goods."

Father Xu stretched out his right hand and shook it vigorously, with a bright smile on his face unconsciously.

Li Chao also had a smile on his face, and finally made a so-called small request:

"Brother Xu, can you help me move the goods? I can't move so many boxes by myself."

Father Xu waved his hand: "Even if you don't mention it, we won't just sit back and watch. It would be embarrassing if we say anything about it."

Yang Lina also nodded in agreement. Her family suddenly received 600,000 yuan, and she was the happiest one.

After all, if your husband is fooling around all day long, you definitely can’t count on him, so the family can’t just sit back and have nothing!

When Xu Ma saw everyone starting to move the goods, she shouted upstairs: "Dongzi, come down quickly and move the goods."

Although he was reluctant, Xu Dong came down with his two daughters. His parents were doing hard work and there was no way he could justify not showing up.

Xu Dong greeted Boss Li and joined the moving team.

Even if you don't like the other person, you still need to be polite and set a good example for the children.

Li Chao saw the twins and boasted: "Brother Xu, your granddaughters are so cute. How old are they this year?"

"Seven years old. It's time to enter the second grade of elementary school in the second half of the year."

Father Xu introduced, and then asked the twins to start calling people.

"Hello Grandpa Li!"

Li Chao seemed very happy and gave each of the twins a big red envelope on the spot. The red envelopes were prepared before they arrived.

Half an hour later, the minivan left the courtyard. Xu Dong felt lost and relieved at the same time.

People will be happy if the meat is removed!

Just sell it, you can't fall out with the whole family over the meat, right?

Not even that!

With this income, my parents and my wife can feel more at ease, so it is a good thing to be reluctant.

Another point is that the shelf life of bacon and dry goods is too short, only one and a half years at most.

There is so much meat that the whole family can't finish it even if they try hard, so sooner or later they have to give it away or sell it.

Sooner or later.

And this meat is hung in the yard every day, which is indeed a bit too eye-catching.

In the evening, the family sat in the living room and discussed what to do with the money.

Xu Ma and Yang Lina meant to deposit money in the bank for emergencies. This is also the intention of ordinary women, who pursue stability.

Xu’s father meant to continue opening a convenience store. With this experience of “making a lot of money”, he became more confident in opening a store.

Xu Dong clearly opposed this.

"Our family's money this time depends on the dried food and bacon that Mom and Nana worked so hard to make. It has nothing to do with the convenience store."

Dad Xu was about to refute, but Xu Dong stopped him: "Dad, listen to me first."

Xu Dongyu advised earnestly:

“In the current environment, even if you open a new store, you can’t decorate it, you can’t find supply channels, and you may not even be able to get a business license.

It's best for us to wait. At least we have to wait until water, electricity, and Internet are all connected. Then it won't be too late to open a store. "

Mother Xu felt that her son was right, so she helped persuade him: "Old man, why don't you wait a little longer? Otherwise, how can we afford the loss of tens of thousands of yuan in rent a month?"

Dad Xu thought about it and felt that he was too anxious. He seemed to be overwhelmed by the 600,000 yuan and was indeed a bit irrational.

So he said: "Okay, let's talk about it in two months."

...

The next morning, after a night of thinking, Xu Dong felt that he couldn't go on like this.

Last night, in addition to talking about opening a new store, because the store was out of stock, Dad Xu also asked him about the supplies in the basement.

Although he was fooled for the time being, the signs were already very bad!

After learning from the pain, Xu Dong decided to "kill relatives for the greater good".

In the afternoon, Xu Dong prepared to go out on the pretext of looking for a new supplier, and Dad Xu did not doubt it.

Wearing a mask, Xu Dong quickly found an old lady in her fifties.

According to the neighbors around, the old lady has a fierce personality and loves to take advantage of small things, and her reputation is very bad.

This is exactly the kind of person Xu Dong is looking for.

"You mean, give me 5,000 yuan and let me cause trouble in the convenience store?" The old lady asked in confusion.

Xu Dong nodded: "Yes, not only do I have to cause trouble, but I also have to report it to the Health Bureau."

"Isn't this illegal?" The old lady was a little scared.

Xu Dong explained: "You don't have to do the framing, you just need to cause trouble, and it's not illegal to cause trouble."

The old lady finally agreed under the temptation of 5,000 yuan.

In less than half an hour, the two had discussed the specific plan.

Then, the good show began.

At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the old lady came to the Coke convenience store to buy things, and then in full view of everyone, she turned out a dead mouse from the rice box.

The dead mouse was naturally Xu Dong's masterpiece.

It was the peak shopping season at this time, and the news spread all of a sudden.

Even though Xu's father expressed his willingness to compensate the old lady 500 yuan for mental damages, the old lady was unmoved and resolutely called the people from the Health Bureau.

The final result of the matter was that the convenience store was closed for three months.

Holding the penalty notice, Xu's father looked like a bereaved family, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Xu Dong hypocritically comforted him, "Dad, just treat it as a vacation for yourself. Three months is not a long time, and the things in the store have almost sold out."

Since it could not be changed, Xu's father could only accept it obediently. Facing the afterglow of the sunset, the father and son locked the door of the convenience store again.
