My courtyard shelter

In less than ten minutes, the old couple came back.

"Uncle, you don't have to pick me up. I've lived here for more than a month. How could I not know the way?"

Uncle Zhang shook his head: "It's okay. The school is on vacation anyway. It's okay to stay at home. Going out for a walk is just exercise."

The twins were not idle either. The two sisters bowed to the old couple together:

"Hello, Grandpa Zhang, Hello, Grandma Zhang, I wish you a happy new year and good health. I wish you a happy year of the snake!"

Aunt Zhang stepped forward and held their hands:

"Okay, Coco and Lele have grown into big girls. They are getting more and more beautiful."

Xu Dong shook his head and said modestly:

"How can they be beautiful? They are almost turning into little fat pigs. They only know how to eat every day. It's like asking them to exercise."

"Nonsense, fat is beautiful. Look at this fair skin, this chubby little face, and this rosy complexion. If our Enya can be raised like this, my old man and I don't have to worry."

Aunt Zhang quickly retorted.

Xu Dong carefully looked at Zhang Enya and found that the little girl was indeed a little thin, especially her chin, which looked a little sharp. .

"Auntie, are you short of food?"

Uncle Zhang answered: "Overall, it's okay. With the food you send every month, Enya didn't starve. Compared with the neighbors, our family is already good enough!"

"Uncle, Auntie, the last epidemic..."

"It's okay, it's just a small cold, not a serious illness. My old man and I survived it!"

Auntie Zhang immediately changed her face to a bitter one:

"It's just a little scared Enya. She didn't eat well during that time. She also lost weight at that time. After more than half a year, she didn't grow back much."

Uncle Zhang sighed and said: "This child has been unwilling to sleep alone until now. Only when she sleeps next to us, she dares to close her eyes."

Xu Dong pulled little Zhang Enya to him:

"Enya, tell uncle, why do you want to sleep with grandpa and grandma?"

Zhang Enya wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth and answered crisply: "I'm afraid that grandpa and grandma will be like mom, Don't want me while I'm sleeping."

"Good child, grandpa and grandma like you so much, how could they not want you?"

Aunt Zhang felt so distressed that she quickly pulled the little girl into her arms.

Little Zhang Enya fell into memories:

"Mom said the same thing at the time, saying that she loved me very much, wanted to grow up with me, and wanted to watch me get married.

But she didn't keep her word and left later. I know mom went to find dad, I don't blame her, with mom around, dad won't be alone.

They don't have to worry about me, I live very well at grandpa and grandma's house, I can eat enough every day, and I can write a lot of Chinese characters."

Aunt Zhang's eyes turned red instantly.

Xu Dong sighed, stretched out his hand and pinched the little girl's face, what a pitiful little darling.

The two sisters Keke seemed to have felt something, and they tightly grabbed their father's clothes on the left and right. Sister Enya was so pitiful, she didn't even have a father or a mother.

The atmosphere was a little solemn.

Grandpa Zhang interrupted quickly, "Okay, old lady, the children must be hungry, let's eat quickly, and we can talk after we finish eating."

"Yes, yes, Xiao Xu, there is a bucket in the bathroom, take Coco and Lele to wash their hands, there is a clean towel next to it."

Aunt Zhang has been to the courtyard house and knows the living habits of Xiao Xu's family. This bucket is specially prepared for the three of them, and the towel was just washed last night.

Lele stepped forward and held her good friend's hand: "Sister Enya, let's go together!"

Enya glanced at her grandmother, and when she saw her grandmother nodded, she jumped into the bathroom.

After washing her hands, she came out and the food was already on the table.

In order to welcome the father and daughter, Aunt Zhang tried her best. As early as a week ago, she started preparing this lunch.

After piecing together, she finally got together six dishes, two of which were meat dishes, one was stewed with dried shrimps with white radish, and the other was steamed with salted fish with kelp.

The staple food is rice.

The old couple almost gritted their teeth and exchanged half a catty of salted fish for two catties of rice, fearing that the two children would not be used to eating coarse grain rice and would be embarrassed.

"Xiao Xu, please sit down quickly. Auntie's place is not comparable to yours. The conditions are limited, so we can only make these dishes. Don't be disgusted!"

Xu Dong hurriedly said politely: "Auntie, it's already very good. The situation in Yanjing is not good now. Let alone eating meat, it's hard to even have a full meal."

"Grandma Zhang, the food is so delicious!"

Ke Ke said with a smile.

Before coming, Dad specifically told them that Grandma Zhang's family had poor living conditions, and they had to eat the food no matter how bad it tasted, and they couldn't lose their temper.

Aunt Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Zhang took out a bottle of white wine from the cabinet: "Xiao Xu, do you want a few drinks?"

"Uncle, let's drink next time. We have to go to the main urban area in the afternoon. The two children are coming to Qindao for the first time. I want to take them around."

Xu Dong hurriedly explained.

Uncle Zhang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Aunt Zhang grabbed the bottle and put it back in the cabinet: "It's not easy for Xiao Xu to come to Qindao, so don't make things worse."

"How is this making things worse?"

Uncle Zhang was very dissatisfied.

Le Le was very perceptive and helped persuade:

"Hehe, Grandpa Zhang, drinking is really bad for your health. My grandma never allowed my grandpa to drink. Once, my grandpa secretly drank a glass. When my grandma found out, she chased him out of the door."

"Le Le, your grandma is right."

Aunt Zhang quickly agreed.

Little Zhang Enya asked curiously: "Sister Le Le, what happened to your grandpa later? Did your grandma forgive your grandpa?"

"Haha, my grandpa couldn't go home, so he had to sleep in the office for a few nights. Later, my grandpa admitted his mistakes and bought gifts for grandma, and my grandma forgave him."

"Le Le, your grandpa has a really good temper."

Uncle Zhang praised dryly.

Aunt Zhang said unhappily: "Okay, let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold."

"Yes, yes, eat, eat."

Xu Dong echoed.

Aunt Zhang helped the two sisters Coco and scooped a small bowl of dried shrimps for each of them. "Coco, Lele, these shrimps are from your family. Try them and see if they are delicious."

"They are delicious. Thank you, Grandma Zhang."

"Grandma Zhang, you eat them too!"

Xu Dong followed suit and scooped several spoonfuls of dried shrimps for little Zhang Enya. The little girl ate them very seriously, and even the rice grains that fell on the table were not spared.

In contrast, the two sisters Coco were much more casual. They ate shrimps but not shrimp heads. When they ate salted fish, they did not clean the bones, and there were still some minced meat on them.

The meal took more than half an hour in total.

After the meal, Aunt Zhang began to clean up the table.

She turned her back to everyone, put the shrimp heads and fish bones left by the two sisters Coco in a small bowl, and then secretly stuffed them into the cupboard.
