My courtyard shelter

January 18, Saturday.

There are still ten days before the Chinese New Year.

Xu's mother cooked a pot of chicken noodle soup early in the morning, and Xu Dong booked a flight at nine in the morning. After all, there were many things to do before the New Year, and it was not convenient to take leave. This time, there were only two days off on the weekend.

In order to save time, they had to choose to take a plane.

Xu's mother nagged about this for a long time, complaining that planes were unsafe. The large-scale crash of the big flare left many people with psychological trauma.

Xu Dong has memories of his past life and knows that there will be no major air crashes in recent years, so he is not very worried.

Unless there is a butterfly effect, he will accept it. .

If it is destined to happen, even if you don't take a plane, you will still have an accident if you take a train. Keeping a normal mind is the most important thing.

Today, the three brothers of Dabao rarely got up early. Although Dad said that he would only take the sisters out to play this time, the little guys were unwilling to give up and wanted to try again.

Even if they don't succeed, it doesn't matter. At least they can get two big chicken legs. The good things can't be monopolized by the second sister.

Xu Dong divided the chicken in the bowl equally among his three sons. Although the chicken was delicious, it was not nutritious. The essence was the chicken soup.

Especially the chicken soup from the old hen.

Seeing that his sons were still pretending to be pitiful, he patiently comforted them: "Dad will be back tomorrow. This time the time is too short and it is a bit too late. When the summer vacation comes, Dad will take you out to play."

"Dad... Dad, I am very... well-behaved and won't run around. Can you take... me with you?"

Dabao said vaguely while gnawing on the chicken leg.

"Dad, I want to go to Qindao too."

"Dad, I promise to listen to you obediently."

Yang Lina sternly refused: "If you say no, then no. Don't disturb Dad's meal. Don't you want to go out to play? Mom will take you to the amusement park later."

"But... I have been to the amusement park."

Dabao was a little entangled.

"Then stay at home. Mom will allow you to watch cartoons for a while longer today."

Xiaobao raised his greasy little hand: "Mom, I want to play games."

"Okay, but you can only play for two hours at most."

Yang Lina nodded and agreed.

The three brothers looked at each other and thought that playing games at home seemed to be pretty good, so they gave up the idea of ​​going to Qindao and focused on the chicken legs and wings in their hands.

Half an hour later, just as the father and daughter were about to go out, Erbao rushed up and hugged his father's thigh.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Dong lowered his head and touched his second son's head.

"Dad, don't forget to bring us gifts."

"Don't worry, Dad will keep his word and won't forget." Xu Dong promised.

At this time, Dabao ran over with a small schoolbag: "Dad, can you buy us a big conch? Grandma said that my sister bought her big conch in Qindao."

Xu Dong took the schoolbag and counted the money in it. It was about 3,000 yuan, far from 50,000 yuan!

"No, you don't have enough money, you can only buy three small conches."

"No, we want big conches, the same size as my sister's."

"That's no use. When you save enough money, Dad will buy them for you."

When it comes to money, Xu Dong is always serious. He won't deliberately perfunctory or fool the three brothers just because they are young.

"Okay!"

Dabao took the small schoolbag back from his father with a disappointed look on his face. At the same time, he also made up his mind to sell more chrysanthemum tea this year and make more small money.

...

Two hours later, the passenger plane from Yanjing to Qindao landed smoothly at Qindao Jiaodong Airport, and then they took the subway directly to the south.

After arriving at the station, they took another taxi.

At nearly noon, the father and daughter finally arrived at the General Garden Community. After more than two years, the changes here are still quite big.

Xu Dong was surprised to find that there were more people here, and the streets were more lively. Looking around, there were large-scale construction everywhere.

Maybe in a few years, a new city will be born here. After all, its potential is there, and even a fool can see it.

However, these have nothing to do with Xu Dong.

He took the sisters Keke and soon knocked on the door of Aunt Zhang's house.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

Lele shouted loudly: "Sister Enya!"

"Wow, Uncle Xu, Sister Keke, Sister Lele, you are finally here."

It was little Zhang Enya who opened the door.

After more than a year, the little girl has grown a lot taller, almost catching up with Keke and Lele. It can be seen that her living conditions are not bad, at least she has no problem eating enough.

"Sister Enya, are you happy to see me?" Lele asked, holding his good friend's hand.

Zhang Enya nodded excitedly.

The group entered the house, and Aunt Zhang greeted them with a smile: "Xiao Xu, did you have a smooth journey?"

"Smooth, Auntie, where is my uncle?"

"He was waiting for you at the gate of the community, didn't you meet him?" Aunt Zhang asked in confusion.

Xu Dong slapped his thigh: "We got off at the East Gate, is the uncle at the North Gate?"

"We must have missed him. You sit down and rest for a while. I'll go out and call the uncle back."

Xu Dong put down the luggage bag in his hand: "Auntie, should I go?"

"No, no, you must be very tired after riding in the car all morning. I can just go. It's only a few steps anyway."

Aunt Zhang hurried out after speaking.

Lele couldn't wait to open her schoolbag and took out a large bag of chicken cakes: "Sister Enya, this is the chicken cake I baked myself. Do you want to try it?"

"Okay, the snacks made by Sister Lele must be delicious." The little girl nodded seriously.

Lele picked a chicken cake from the bag.

"Now, open your mouth."

The little girl was very obedient and opened her mouth hard.

Lele pinched the egg cake, gently put it into the other person's mouth, and then asked expectantly:

"Is it sweet?"

Zhang Enya, a child, tasted the chicken cake with a small mouthful, her face full of enjoyment, and her little head nodded non-stop: "It's very sweet, very fragrant, very soft, it's so delicious, Sister Lele, you are so amazing!"

Lele raised her chin proudly.

"Of course, none of the chicken cakes made by my mother are as delicious as those made by me. Now the chicken cakes our family usually eats are all made by me."

The little girl finished the chicken cake in two or three mouthfuls.

"Sister Lele, can I have another one?"

Lele was very generous and stuffed the bag containing the chicken cakes directly into the other person's arms: "Here they are, these chicken cakes were originally given to you, you can keep them for yourself and eat them slowly!"

"Really?"

The child Zhang Enya held the bag with disbelief on her face.

"Of course it's true. We are good friends, and good friends can't lie."

Lele waved her hand.

"That's great, Sister Lele, you are so kind!"
