My courtyard shelter

"Remember." The three brothers said in unison.

Xu Dong nodded with satisfaction.

Triplets are still rare. Since the three brothers Dabao entered the bathroom, they have been the focus of everyone.

An old man next to him asked with a smile: "Brother, are these four children yours?"

It is said that nephews look like uncles. Ma Xu does look a bit like Xu Dong, so it is no wonder that the old man misunderstood.

"The older one is my sister's child, and the three younger ones are my sons." Xu Dong chatted with the old man while helping his sons to scrub their bodies.

"That's not much different. Your family is under a lot of burden!" The old man sighed.

Xu Dong waved his hands: "No way, we have already given birth to them, we are parents, we have to raise them even if we can't afford it!"

"You are right, but your three children are really well raised, look at their little arms and legs, they are chubby, including your nephew, how did you raise them?"

"It's very simple, usually change more soybeans, boil a pot of soybean milk every morning, soybean milk nourishes people." Xu Dong directly took over his mother's rhetoric.

"Soybean milk? It is indeed a good thing, but soybeans are not easy to change now." The old man nodded, it seems that he accepted this statement.

"In fact, the amount is not much, a small handful a day is enough."

"I wonder if I can still buy a soybean milk machine now?"

The old man was tempted, his grandson was as thin as a monkey, and he really couldn't compare with other people's children.

Xu Dong thought for a moment and replied, "There should be second-hand ones for sale online, and you can buy them for less than a thousand yuan."

"That's great, I'll get one later."

The others beside him also remembered it silently in their hearts. Who doesn't have a child? In this environment, the nutrition of children is the top priority.

In less than fifteen minutes, the triplets were washed clean. Xu Dong began to rinse his sons with clean water, and then asked the three brothers to put on bath towels and stand aside obediently.

Ten minutes later, he and Ma Xu also washed. The five of them changed their clothes and waited for Xu Jingyi and the other four in the lounge area in the hall.

After waiting for half an hour, the four people came out.

"Sister, why did you take so long to wash? My uncle and I have been waiting for almost half an hour." Ma Xu couldn't help complaining.

Ma Lingling stepped forward and pinched her brother's cheek: "My uncle didn't say anything, why are you so anxious?"

The twins covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

"Uncle, there are too many people in the women's bathhouse, and there are many children. We have to queue up, so it took some time." Xu Jingyi explained quickly.

"It doesn't matter." Xu Dong shook his head, and then reminded: "Check each other to see if you have left anything behind?"

"No, Dad, my watch is still there!" Lele showed the phone watch on her wrist.

"No, everything is there."

"Since nothing is left behind, let's go home quickly. We have to attend the annual meeting in the afternoon!"

The annual meeting of Xu's father's company was scheduled to start at two o'clock in the afternoon. Not all employees participated, but it was voluntary.

The venue was in a hotel near Jin Chang'an Building. Ye Hui directly rented a large banquet hall that could accommodate thousands of people at the same time.

Speaking of the annual meeting, Keke was excited: "Dad, I have to perform on stage in the afternoon!"

Lele pouted. She didn't learn the violin well, so she could only sing nursery rhymes with her brothers, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

"Dad, I also have a show." Dabao shouted loudly.

"What program?"

Xu Dong pretended to be ignorant, but Yang Lina had already told him the content of the program.

"It's a small chorus, and my second sister is the lead singer. Teacher Yu helped us rehearse, and Teacher Yu sang beautifully."

Da Bao described vividly that the reason why Teacher Yu delayed the class until yesterday was mainly to rehearse this small chorus.

"You must sing well, and your parents will cheer you on downstairs." Xu Dong encouraged.

The triplets nodded seriously.

Out of the bathhouse door, there was a laundry room opposite, and there were also many people coming in and out. Xu Dong directly sent the dirty clothes over.

It was the New Year, so it saved my mother from washing clothes.

In order to save water, the clothes at home were basically washed by hand, and very little detergent was used. Xu's mother spent more than an hour every day, and Xu Dong persuaded her several times but it was useless.

……

When I got home, it was exactly eleven o'clock.

Xu Ma and Xu Ting came back at ten o'clock. Several women were making dumplings around the dining table. There was a New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, so they had a simple lunch.

"Grandma, we are back." The triplets shouted and rushed to Xu Ma.

"Let grandma see if it is clean?"

Xu Ma raised her hands high, fearing that the oil would get on her grandchildren's clothes.

"It is clean. Daddy put a lot of foam on us." Erbao replied.

Yang Lina smiled and asked, "Is it fun in the bathhouse?"

"Not fun at all." Lele shook his head, "There are people everywhere in it, and there is a strange smell. I will never go there again."

"You are so precious?" Yang Lina scolded with a smile.

Lele ran to his father and said coquettishly, "Dad, can you buy more water? When I took a bath last night, grandma only scooped half a basin of water for me, and the bubbles were not washed away."

Xu Ma shook her head helplessly. Since the eldest family and the second family came, the daily water supply at home was obviously not enough. She even asked her to take a bath this time.

"It's Chinese New Year today, and all the water sellers are closed. Dad will go take a look after the Chinese New Year." Xu Dong said perfunctorily with a smile.

It's not that he is reluctant to spend money, but he thinks it is unnecessary. The water at home should be enough, and there is really no need to waste it.

Anyway, it will be fine after some time.

Seeing that everyone in the group was empty-handed, with only the third child carrying a small bag, Xu Ma couldn't help but ask:

"Where are your dirty clothes? Take them out quickly, I will help you wash them later."

"Mom, I sent the dirty clothes to the laundry room. Here is the receipt. You can come and pick up the clothes when you have time!" Xu Dong took out the receipt from his pocket and handed it to his mother.

"It's not clean in the laundry, and it's not hygienic at all to wash so many clothes together." Xu's mother complained.

Xu Ting immediately advised: "Mom, the laundry is very clean and disinfected. All the clothes in our house are washed in the laundry, and there are no problems!"

"Sea water can easily corrode clothes." Xu's mother quickly found another excuse.

"Mom, where did you hear all this?"

"According to what you said, washing powder is more corrosive than sea water. Besides, after washing clothes in other laundromats, they will rinse away the salt with clean water. You are definitely overthinking this."

"Humph, hand washing is definitely better than washing in the laundry." Xu Ma said harshly.

Xu Dong quickly stepped forward and echoed: "Mom, hand washing is definitely better, but aren't we afraid that you will be tired?"

"Why should I be tired? I have nothing to do all day long, so I just treat washing clothes as exercise."

Xu Ma's face showed a smile again.
