My courtyard shelter

After resting for a while, Xu Dong took the initiative to invite:

"Auntie, do you want to come together?"

Auntie shook her head:

"The old man and I are too old to walk, so I won't hold you back."

Xu Dong didn't force himself, and turned to look at Zhang Enya, a child: "Enya, what about you, do you want to go out with us? Uncle promises you that he will help you buy some more beautiful new clothes."

"Sister Enya, please agree!"

Lele urged.

Of course Zhang Enya wanted to go with her, but the little girl remembered her grandma's instructions last night and hesitated for a moment.

"Go! When you get outside, you must listen to your Uncle Xu and don't run around." Aunt Zhang reached out and patted her granddaughter on the back.

"Grandma, I must be obedient..."

The little girl nodded solemnly.

Coco and Lele immediately cheered, the three of them hugged each other, and then spun around in circles in the living room, dancing and singing.

Uncle Zhang said happily: "Enya hasn't been so happy for a long time. Xiao Xu, I really want to thank you this time."

"There's nothing to be thankful for. Didn't we agree at the beginning that we would raise Enya together? I also want to watch Enya grow up happily."

"Enya is lucky to have you as her uncle!" Aunt Zhang interjected.

Xu Dong waved his hand, "By the way, uncle and aunt, we won't be back tonight. We will stay in the city for one night to avoid traveling back and forth. We probably won't be back until tomorrow afternoon."

"Don't waste money. It's not like we can't live in our house. In the past two years, our area has developed rapidly. Last year, there was a bus. You can come back at seven or eight o'clock in the evening."

Aunt Zhang advised.

"Forget it, Coco and Lele like to sleep in. If they sleep here, I'm afraid they won't be able to get up in the morning."

"Oh, that's true. Our place is close to the sea. It's wet and cold in the winter. It's not easy for the children to sleep in. Okay, you can stay in the city tonight!"

"Don't worry, aunt, I will take good care of Enya." Xu Dong promised.

Aunt Zhang waved her hand: "Aunt, can I still not believe you? Don't delay, pack up and go!"

Xu Dong glanced at his watch and saw that it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, so he nodded and shouted to the three people who were still spinning around:

"Keke, Lele, Enya, go back to your room and pack your luggage quickly. We will set off in ten minutes."

"Dad, all my things are in my schoolbag, there is no need to pack them away." Lele responded.

Coco also patted the schoolbag on the sofa.

This trip only required one night of stay outside, so Yang Lina did not prepare much luggage for the three of them. Each of them only had a change of underwear and toiletries.

There is also a bottle of skin care products and some snacks.

As for the suitcase, he packed some gifts for Aunt Zhang's family. In addition, he specially brought ten kilograms of sugar, and maybe he could buy some new year's goods.

For Zhang Enya's child, her grandma helped her find a small cloth bag that was slung across the body. The bag also contained a complete set of underwear and toiletries, but nothing else.

…

After bidding farewell to Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang, the four of them quickly got on the bus to the city.

An hour later, Qindao city finally arrived.

After getting off the bus, the first thing Xu Dong did was to find a hotel with acceptable conditions and directly ask for a small suite.

He had one room for himself and one for the children.

After putting away our luggage, we chartered a taxi and asked the driver to help recommend a few popular attractions, and then we started our sightseeing trip.

Compared with two years ago, the urban area of ​​​​Qindao has become more prosperous today. Perhaps because the New Year is approaching, the streets are full of surging crowds, and there is no desolate scene.

The only 'flaw' is probably the various pedestrians.

Most of them were sallow and thin, and their mental outlook was not good. Each one of them had sluggish steps and looked weak. You didn't need to guess, they must be hungry.

After all, even Yanjing is short of food, how can Qindao fare better?

Half an hour later, the taxi driver stopped the car on the side of the road, pointed to the front and introduced:

"Officer Xu, this is our famous Qindao scenic spot 'Ten Great Passes'. It gathers various architectural styles from more than 20 countries around the world and is known as the 'Architectural Exhibition Hall of All Nations'.

Just a few years ago, this place was full of lush trees and flowers, but unfortunately you can't see them anymore. If you want to experience the exotic customs, this is definitely the right place to choose. "

When he came out this time, Xu Dong specially put on a police uniform, so the driver called him that.

After all, this was an unfamiliar place, so Xu Dong thought it was better to be careful.

Just because of the three flowers on his epaulette, no one with a little background would dare to provoke them easily. This is responsible for themselves and the children.

"Master Jiang, I think you are quite familiar with this place. We happen to have limited time. Can you take us to the most exquisite places?"

"No problem. Since you are in a hurry, let's go directly to the villa area?"

"Okay, you just make the decision."

Xu Dong said simply.

Soon, Master Jiang led the four of them to a villa with a spire and an irregular sloping roof.

This small building looks like something often seen in fairy tales. It is exquisite and cute. Children like it very much, and their faces are full of curiosity.

"Officer Xu, this is the Grand Princess Building. It was built in the mid-1930s and covers an area of ​​nearly 1,000 square meters. It is said that it was specially built by the then Danish Consul General in Qindao to welcome the Grand Princess."

"Wow, there is a princess!" Lele said excitedly, "Dad, I want to go in and take a look."

Xu Dong looked at Master Jiang: "Can I go in and visit?"

"No." Master Jiang shook his head.

"Why?"

"This is now a private villa. How can outsiders be allowed to visit."

Xu Dong was surprised: "Private villa? Isn't this a cultural relic?"

"It was indeed a villa before. Last year, the city allocated it to an expert professor from the United States. It is said that he is a Nobel Prize winner."

"Can you still do this? No one objects?"

Xu Dong was surprised.

"Why object? This house is empty anyway, why not use it to make some contribution? After all, the general environment is like this, and everything focuses on practicality. Now is not the time to talk about rules."

"Is it the same for other villas?"

"It should be similar, but these villas cannot be bought with money. They must be approved by the city. Ordinary people don't even have the qualifications to buy them."

When Lele heard that he couldn't go in to visit, he was immediately disappointed, "Dad, this house is so beautiful!"

"It's useless to say it's beautiful. This is someone else's house. We can't go in. Just look at it from the outside. Dad will help you take more photos."

Lele ran to the front door:

"Dad, I want to take pictures here."

Xu Dong picked up the digital camera around his neck: "Coco, Enya, you two go over too, I'll take a few photos of you first."

"Okay!"
