My courtyard shelter

As soon as Xu Dong arrived home, the children gathered around him.

Dabao held Niuniu's hand and said excitedly:

"Dad, did you get the medal back?"

Xu Dong patted his pocket.

"I brought it back. It's inside. When did dad lie to you?"

"Dad, open it quickly and take a look. Niu Niu also wants to see the giant panda." Dabao said anxiously.

Xu Dong pretended to be sad: "Oh, but dad is so thirsty now. Dabao doesn't care about dad. He only has Niuniu and the medal in his eyes."

Dabao scratched his head subconsciously.

Before his brothers could react, Lele turned and rushed to the kitchen, and soon came over with a cup of tea.

It is not difficult to see that the usual competition between siblings has reached a fever pitch. .

"Dad, drink water quickly."

Xu Dong took the cup and touched his little daughter's scalp happily. Compared to the three brats, the little cotton-padded jacket was indeed more considerate.

Lele gave Dabao a contemptuous look, like a proud peacock.

Dabao suddenly became unhappy and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Second sister is a flatterer, so shameless!"

"Flattery, shame on you!"

Erbao and Xiaobao started making noises together.

In fact, Lele "taught" the word "sycophant" to his younger brothers.

Because the three Dabao brothers often helped their grandma with housework after school because they were young and had no homework, Xu's mother always praised them.

Lele was very dissatisfied, and over time, the word "flattery" naturally became her mantra.

At this moment, facing the provocation of his brothers, Lele rolled up his sleeves and his eyes almost burst into flames.

If her father hadn't been by her side, she would have taken action by now. There is a famous saying, "Hit your brother sooner rather than later." She felt that this sentence was very appetizing.

Xu Dong quickly separated the siblings: "Okay, stop arguing, come with dad, and dad will show you the Boy Scout medal."

Lele gave a loud "hum".

Not to be outdone, Dabao clenched his little fist.

In the living room, Xu Dong glanced around and finally placed the wooden box gently in front of his eldest daughter.

The wooden box is slightly smaller than the soap box and weighs one pound.

"Keke, you are the eldest sister, it is up to you to distribute it!"

Coco nodded seriously and opened the small wooden box without saying a word.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

Lele couldn't wait to get closer: "Sister, which one is mine? I want to be the first to get it."

Coco flipped through it a few times and finally found her sister's "Pikachu" medal. She chose the violin.

As for the three younger brothers, Dabao chose the giant panda; the second treasure chose Sun Wukong; Xiaobao was the simplest. The little guy likes to eat apples, so he chose the big apple.

"Lele, here you go."

Lele took the Boy Scout medal and looked at it carefully.

The gold medal is round in shape, with a large five-pointed star on the front. The five points symbolize the five siblings. The five points are indispensable, and the five siblings are also indispensable.

In the middle of the five-pointed star is a vivid Pikachu, and on Pikachu's face, there are round rubies on the left and right, which are no bigger than a corn kernel.

The gold shop owner patted his chest and assured that it was true.

In addition, there is a circle of grain ears on both sides of Pikachu, and two capital letters "XL" are engraved at the junction of the grain ears, which is the pinyin abbreviation of Lele's name.

Xu Dong smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"

"I like it, so beautiful and cute!"

Lele couldn't put it down.

In less than a minute, Coco handed out the customized medals. The medals were all similar in style, only the middle image was different.

After Dabao got the "Giant Panda" medal, he stuffed it into Niu Niu's hands immediately.

"Niuniu, does my medal look good?"

Niu Niu said with an envious look: "It's beautiful. Brother Dabao's medal is the most beautiful."

Dabao was suddenly very proud.

The children held their medals and shouted with joy. Yang Lina heard the noise and came over to take a look.

She casually picked a medal from the wooden box, and oh, it was quite heavy, even a little heavy on her hand.

"Why is it so heavy? It can't be gold, right?"

Xu Dong nodded.

Yang Lina suddenly lost her temper. Her husband's behavior became more and more "ridiculous", and she didn't know what to say.

"how much did you spend?"

"Fifty thousand, buying gold is more cost-effective than depositing it in the bank."

Xu Dong specially added.

It can be seen that my mother's eyes were getting sharper and sharper, and she couldn't help but panic. She immediately pointed to the remaining medals and asked:

"Dad, how are these medals divided?"

The remaining medals are all of the same style, except that the middle pattern has changed to the character "Xu" in regular script. In contrast, the medals for Ma Lingling and her brother have the character "马".

"Isn't there the pinyin abbreviation of the name on it?"

Xu Dong prompted.

Coco took a closer look and suddenly realized: "So that's what happened. I thought it was some English word!"

Yang Lina looked at the last three medals and asked curiously: "Why are there three left?"

"These three are for Jingyi, Lingling and Xiaoxu. I will give them to them as lucky money during the Chinese New Year."

"One is worth tens of thousands, you are so generous."

Yang Lina didn't feel bad about the money. Her husband donated one million a few days ago, but she didn't say anything.

What she was dissatisfied with was that her husband only thought of his relatives and chose to ignore the Yang Ge siblings in Porcelain Capital.

"Hehe, it's just a small amount of money. Your husband is very capable and can make it back in minutes."

"Let them play with what you can. When they get tired of playing with it, put it away quickly and don't lose it." Yang Lina warned.

When Lele heard this, he immediately put the two medals into his pocket, covered his pocket and said:

"Mom, I want to keep it for myself."

"No, mom and dad will keep it for you temporarily and return it to you when you are adults."

The gold medal is different from other things. It can be seen at a glance that this thing is valuable. If someone with an intention sees it, it can easily cause trouble.

"This is a gift from dad. Mom, how could you do this?"

Lele said aggrievedly.

Yang Lina glared at Xu Dong: "You should deal with the trouble you caused yourself!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Xu Dong talked hard and made a bunch of promises, finally coaxing the children, and the gold medal could be handed over to his parents for safekeeping.

But every weekend, they have to return it to the children and let them keep it for one day. The condition is that they cannot take it outside, let alone school.

…

The gaps between the fingers are very wide, and time is too thin, slipping quietly through the gaps between the fingers.

In November, under the joint initiative of the United States and Daxia, countries reached a consensus and decided to rebuild the International Space Station.

In December, a huge underground lake group was discovered in Qianzhou. After preliminary surveys, it was found that the water storage capacity is about 70 million cubic meters, which caused a sensation across the country.

Amid all the chaos, 2024 has finally come to an end, and the new year is about to begin.
