My courtyard shelter

At noon, Xu's mother went to the kindergarten to pick up her grandchildren. It was inconvenient without a scooter. In less than five minutes, the four grandparents and grandchildren were covered in dust.

While the children went to the bathroom, Yang Lina looked through the schoolbags of the three brothers, but she couldn't find any bread.

She had heard about "student bread" from her father-in-law a long time ago. After all, it was bread produced by her own bakery, so it was hard not to pay attention to it.

It's not that she was reluctant to give up this little bread, but she was afraid that the children would develop a habit of wasting. Whether there was a major drought or not, wasting was not a good habit.

After the sons finished washing, she called the three brothers to her and immediately asked:

"Where is the bread distributed in the kindergarten?"

Erbao and Xiaobao looked at their eldest brother at the same time.

Yang Lina immediately turned her eyes to her eldest son, her eyes full of exploration.

Dabao scratched his head and explained hesitantly: "I...we finished eating in kindergarten..."

Yang Lina snorted and reached out to touch her eldest son's belly. It was indeed flat, not even half full.

"You've learned to lie. You three had breakfast, so how could you have room for bread?"

Yang Lina glared at her eldest son, and the little guy shrank his neck in fear.

"Erbao, tell mom where the bread for you three is?"

Dabao panicked immediately, and without waiting for his second brother to answer, he quickly told the truth:

"Mom, don't be angry, I...I gave the bread to Niuniu."

"Just give it to someone, why lie to mom?" Yang Lina questioned.

"Uh, I...I'm afraid you'll force me to take the bread back, how embarrassing!" Dabao explained quickly.

Yang Lina tapped her eldest son's forehead with her finger: "You still feel embarrassed? Why don't you think about it before giving it to others? Maybe mom also likes to eat bread?"

"No." Dabao shook his head repeatedly, "The bread in school is not delicious. The bread made by mom is the most delicious in the world."

The little guy is not stupid, and he knows how to flatter his mother.

"Okay, forget it this time! Starting tomorrow, you three must bring back your bread obediently and are not allowed to give it to others. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

The three brothers answered in unison.

Seeing that her eldest son was a little disappointed, Yang Lina couldn't help but comfort him: "Mom will save your bread for you. When Niuniu comes to play on the weekend, you can give it to her as a snack."

"Really?" Dabao was surprised.

"Really, when has mom lied to you?"

Yang Lina straightened the hem of her eldest son's clothes.

"Thank you, mom! Mom, I love you!"

The little guy came forward and hugged his mother's neck and kissed her hard on the face.

Erbao and Xiaobao were laughing on the side.

After a while, the sisters Keke also came back.

Yang Lina did the same: "Where is the bread?"

Hearing this, Lele took out two pieces of bread from her schoolbag and handed them directly to her mother.

She only took a bite of one piece and half of the other piece.

"What's the matter? Didn't you two have enough in the morning?" Yang Lina asked in surprise.

Keke quickly told her what happened in the morning.

Yang Lina sighed deeply and then pulled the sisters to her.

"Lele, do you know where you are wrong?"

Lele shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

"You two are not young anymore. You should have realized some things in school. Mom tells you that life outside is not easy."

Most of the daughters' classes are local people in Yanjing. Relatively speaking, their lives are still acceptable, so the sisters don't feel deeply.

Lele asked in confusion: "I didn't notice anything different?"

"That's because you stay with your classmates every day, so of course you can't notice any changes. Mom asked you, every time school starts, do your classmates get thinner?"

Lele recalled, it seemed to be true.

Yang Lina continued: "Luckily, we have your father at home. Your father can make delicious food, so life at home is pretty good, and you have never lacked food and drink."

"Is Dad great?"

"Of course, many families outside don't have enough food to eat. They only have two meals a day and don't eat breakfast. You two look at our family, we can still eat meat every day. In comparison, you are living in a honey pot."

The two sisters suddenly became proud and admired their father even more.

"Mom, do you mean that the students in our class don't have enough food to eat, so they think baguettes are delicious?"

Lele quickly figured out the key.

"Well, just figure it out yourself!"

Dad Xu came over and threatened: "Keke, Lele, Grandpa tells you that you two must keep a low profile in school. There are a lot of bad guys outside. Don't let them target you."

"Ah... there are still bad guys?" Lele said worriedly.

"Of course, you two are white and fat, and those bad guys like to catch girls like you."

"Grandpa, why do bad guys catch us?"

Keke asked in confusion.

"Catch them and sell them to those rich foreigners as maids. They cook and wash clothes every day, and have to go out to collect firewood in the winter."

"Grandpa, isn't what you said too much?"

There was obvious disbelief on the faces of the two sisters. They were not children and could not be easily fooled.

Father Xu smiled awkwardly.

The granddaughters are disobedient when they grow up, but the grandsons are still the cutest, and they do whatever grandpa says.

At half past twelve, Ma Lingling came back.

Xu Ma immediately shouted loudly: "It's time to eat."

…

In Jingzhiyuan Community, Xu Bin's family of three were also having lunch.

Although their food is not as good as that in the courtyard, it is not much different. There are three dishes and one soup, including meat and vegetables, and their life is very nourishing.

Xu Bin helped his daughter pick up a piece of salted fish:

"Jingyi, your job has stabilized. Your mother and I are planning to open a small shop to earn some living expenses. What kind of shop do you think our family should open?"

"Dad, you don't want to collect anymore?"

Xu Jingyi said unexpectedly.

Xu Bin waved his hand: "There is no contradiction between opening a store and collecting. I can open a store and collect at the same time. Besides, don't you still have your mother? It won't delay the business."

"It's good to open a shop, it will save your dad from running around outside every day."

Tan Aifang usually watches too many TV dramas and is very worried about her husband spending money arbitrarily. After all, their family is somewhat related to a "rich family".

Rich families usually have a prodigal son.

No matter how you look at it, the child is most likely to be his father.

"Dad, why don't you just open an antique shop?"

Xu Jingyi suggested.

Since my father loves collecting, he might as well make collecting his career. Anyway, their family is not short of money. It doesn’t matter whether they make money or not. Being happy is the most important thing.

"No, no." Tan Aifang quickly objected, "With your father's half-hearted level, our family's little wealth is not enough to compensate him."

"Hey, what are you talking about? I didn't say I wanted to open an antique shop."

Although he is very excited, Xu Bin is still very self-aware. Besides, the current market is not good, so it is not a good time to open an antique store.
