My courtyard shelter

"Grandma, why are you crying?" Dabao's face was full of worry. read

Mother Yang took the towel handed over by her daughter-in-law, wiped her tears, and explained with a smile: "Grandma is happy. Grandma is so happy to see you so cute."

"Grandma, I'm very happy too. My brothers and I will also have grandparents in the future."

Erbao squeezed his elder brother away and took the opportunity to ask:

"Grandma, where do you live?"

"Grandma lives in Porcelain City."

"Where is Porcelain City?"

Yang Lina helped explain: "Porcelain City is very far away, and it takes most of a day to take the train!"

"Grandma, can we go to your house to play?" Dabao asked expectantly.

"Of course, Dabao, Erbao, and Xiaobao, grandma very much welcomes you to come and play at grandma's house. There are many fun toys in grandma's house."

Dabao's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "Grandma, do you have an excavator at home?"

"Yes, grandma's house not only has an excavator, but also a car."

"Grandma, I can drive an excavator. If you don't believe me, ask mom." Dabao looked at his mom.

Yang Lina touched her eldest son's forehead and agreed, "Well, our eldest son is the most powerful."

For the next half hour, Mother Yang and the others chatted harmoniously with the triplets, and bursts of laughter would come from time to time.

It wasn't until the time was almost up that Yang Lina took the tablet back.

The time here refers to the usage time of the temporary phone card.

Since mobile phone bills have become more expensive, temporary phone cards have emerged. They do not have a high basic monthly fee and are only suitable for temporary calls.

In addition, each card has a fixed time of use. Beyond this time period, it is impossible to connect to the Internet.

This is also done to avoid communication congestion.

"Mom, I asked someone to bring a box of bread to my house. Have you received it?"

Yang Lina met Ye Hui before attending the groundbreaking ceremony of the bakery. Through chatting, she discovered that her company has a service point in Porcelain Capital.

Although it's not big, there are only two people.

But it's enough.

So from now on, she always delivers things to her parents' home through this service point, which is not only much faster than the postal service. It’s also much safer.

"I got it. Your nieces and nephews all like it very much."

"Just eat it if you like it. From now on, I will give it to you once a month. Don't be reluctant to eat it."

These breads are all produced in bakeries. Although the bread she makes herself tastes better, its shelf life is too short.

"If it's troublesome, forget it. There's no shortage of food at home." Yang's mother gave her a rare piece of advice.

In the past six months, their family has saved three to four hundred kilograms of food, enough to last for one or two years, relying on their daughter's occasional support.

Yang Lina shook her head: "It's not troublesome at all. The bread is originally produced in the family's bread factory and can be delivered to your home with just a phone call."

"Ah?" Mother Yang was shocked, "When did your family open a bakery?"

"It just opened not long ago, less than three months!"

"Your father-in-law is really capable." Yang's father interrupted, sometimes he couldn't be convinced.

Yang Lina waved her hand: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I asked someone to bring you a box of new year's goods this morning. It will probably arrive tomorrow. Your son-in-law is still angry with you. He will definitely not be able to come back this year."

The Yang family seemed very disappointed.

"Don't be too anxious. No matter how much I try to persuade him, he might change his mind at some point." Yang Lina quickly comforted him.

"Cough...cough...it doesn't matter, just live your life well and call us when you have time...cough cough..."

Father Yang ordered.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Yang Lina looked worried.

Yang Jianbang patted Father Yang's back and explained smoothly: "The temperature has been a little low recently. Dad has a cold. He has already taken medicine. He will be fine in a few days. You don't have to worry."

"Be sure to keep warm. I'll send my dad a down jacket in a few days!"

"Your dad has clothes, don't spend money randomly." Mother Yang advised.

"It's just a down jacket. It doesn't cost much, so just leave it alone."

Yang Jianbang suddenly said: "Sister, I may go to your place on a business trip in a while, and I will treat you to dinner then."

He knew that his brother-in-law didn't want to see their home, so he didn't mention the visit.

Yang Lina nodded: "I'd better treat you. It's not easy for you to come to Yanjing."

"It doesn't matter who invites whom, the key is that you two siblings sit down together and chat together. I can't let go if we don't meet each other." Mother Yang wiped her tears with a towel again.

"Mom, I'm fine here. There's no shortage of food and clothing at home. What do you have to worry about?"

"How does your son-in-law treat you? Mom heard that rich people become philanderers..."

Yang Lina rolled her eyes and quickly interrupted: "Don't worry, we have a very good relationship as husband and wife, and Dongzi has never done anything sorry for me. We have already had five children, so he has a sense of proportion."

"You still have to be careful..." Mother Yang was still a little worried.

"I know, I will."

Yang Lina was not impatient, she knew that her mother was doing it for her own good.

"Okay, let's not talk anymore. The time is almost up. Are Dabao and the others still there?"

"Here you are!" Yang Lina returned to the bedside and handed the tablet to Dabao. "Grandma is about to hang up the phone. Say goodbye to grandma!"

"Goodbye, grandma!" The three brothers waved their hands together.

Mother Yang also waved her hand, and then transferred 1,000 yuan of new year's money to her five grandchildren through her mobile phone, which was 200 yuan for each of them.

I answered the phone again, but the time was up before I could say a word.

"Mom, grandma is missing."

Yang Lina took the tablet and said, "Grandma is not missing, she just hung up the phone. Okay, go to bed!"

Dabao went back to his upper bunk.

"Mom, I can't sleep. I want to listen to a story." Xiaobao hugged his mother's arm and said obediently.

Yang Lina was in a good mood after just talking to her family on the phone. So she picked up the fairy tale book on the desk beside her and picked a fairy tale to start telling:

There were three cute little pigs, and they all wanted to build a beautiful house.

The eldest pig made a house with straw.

"Haha, I have my own house!"

The eldest pig jumped for joy.

...

The next day, the first day of the Chinese New Year.

Compared with last year, this year's Spring Festival was much quieter. There were not only fewer vehicles but also fewer pedestrians on the street.

First, the temperature outside is low, and the government is practicing austerity. There are no large-scale celebrations, so everyone prefers to stay at home and sleep;

Second, the custom of visiting relatives and friends has changed. Now everyone can't even eat enough, so they have neither the ability nor the mood to visit relatives and give gifts.

Even those who have the conditions at home have already given gifts before the New Year. Many families are counting on these gifts to have a good year!

Of course, this does not include Xu Dong.

According to convention, he has to go to Section Chief Li and others to wish them a happy new year, but giving gifts is also a troublesome thing. Now that the upper level is strict, he dare not give any expensive gifts.

If he is caught, it will only hurt others and himself.
