My courtyard shelter

Chapter 498 Hard Times

This rumor storm was much more serious than Xu Dong imagined, so much so that after more than a year, the security department resumed daytime patrols.

He also worked the night shift for a whole month.

Until August, with the slight increase in the share of rations, and official notification of the "blight disease".

The rumors were put to an end.

August 3rd is another weekend.

Bored, Xu Dong took his children to Panjiayuan. There was no flu epidemic this year and he was busy for a whole month in July, so he wanted to compensate the children.

Panjiayuan in August is not as lively as the end of the year. Coupled with the disappearance of grain trading, the flow of people is not as big as before.

However, this is quite convenient for the group.

If it were the crowds at the end of the year, he wouldn't dare to bring the children over. The three Dabao brothers were at the age where cats hate dogs and they couldn't stand it at all.

"Dabao, Erbao, Xiaobao, hold your sister's hand and don't let go. There are so many people stealing children outside."

Xu Dong said "scare".

"I'm not afraid. Dad is a policeman. The police catch bad people." Dabao said with an air of pride.

Xu Dong pinched his eldest son's cheek:

"Dad is old and can't run away from bad guys. You three, don't be naughty and listen to your sister."

Xu Jingyi helped Dabao straighten his hat: "Uncle, don't worry, I will help you keep an eye on Dabao."

"Sister, I will be obedient."

Dabao nodded solemnly.

On the other side, Ma Lingling was responsible for watching over Erbao, while Xu Dong held Xiaobao by himself. Coco, Lele and Ma Xu were all grown children and could take care of themselves.

"Dad, where should we go first?"

It was rare to come out to play, and Lele was very excited.

"Go to the street stall area, there must be interesting things there." Xu Dongyou said without hesitation.

If there is something good in the shopping area, people will notify him immediately. In the street stall area, there may be a lot of people coming and going, so there may be unexpected surprises.

"Okay, I'll lead the way."

The group of people walked towards the street stall area with cheers.

In stark contrast to a few people, the entire street stall area gave people a lifeless feeling, with most people shaking their fans feebly.

After being hungry for a month, everyone has not recovered yet! However, it seems that I will be hungry in August, and there is no talk of recovery at all.

"Kids, here are fun toy cars."

Dabao quickly pulled his eldest sister and ran over.

The stall owner smiled and handed the toy truck to the little guy. It was hard to meet parents with children. How could you let go of such a good opportunity?

Dabao took the toy car and started playing with it on the ground. Erbao and Xiaobao saw it and were attracted to it.

The stall owner immediately got new toys for Erbao and Xiaobao. After a while, the three brothers' feet were piled with things.

"Dad, I want to buy it."

Xiaobao took his father's hand and said.

Xu Dong frowned, not because he was reluctant to give up the money, but mainly because there were too many toys and he couldn't take them.

"Each person chooses one piece and buys the rest next time."

Dabao patted his little backpack: "Dad, we have money, I want to buy it all."

"There are so many toys, can you handle them?"

Xu Jingyi asked with a smile.

"Dad help us get it."

Dabao said of course.

In the minds of the little ones, dad is a superman, and supermen are omnipotent.

"Daddy can't lift it. If you are obedient, daddy will bring you over to play next week, okay?"

Xu Dongkai stated the terms of exchange.

"Oh well!"

Dabao thought about it carefully, and still felt that it was more important to go out and play. Grandma could help them buy toys and other things online.

After leaving the toy stall, the triplets were attracted by a beautiful aunt again. The aunt played the violin and there was a young lady dancing next to them.

Xu Dong was a little surprised. When did street performances appear in Panjiayuan? Moreover, it seemed that the performer's level was not low, and Coco watched mesmerizedly.

"Dad, the little sister dances beautifully."

Dabao clapped his hands excitedly.

The little girl in front of me is about eight or nine years old, a little younger than the two Coco sisters. The little girl is very cute. She is wearing a white dress, but she is too thin, and her calves are not as thick as Dabao's arms.

Xu Dong patted his eldest son's backpack: "Young lady dances so hard, should we show it to you?"

Dabao subconsciously covered his backpack.

"Dabao is a stingy man."

Lele took the opportunity to mock.

Dabao suddenly became anxious: "Second sister is talking nonsense, I am not a stingy person!"

Lele took out ten yuan from his pocket, stepped forward and put it into the piano case, and then gave Dabao a provocative look.

Coco was more generous and just put a hundred dollar bill.

Xu Jingyi and Ma Lingling followed closely behind, each taking out a ten-yuan note.

Next was Ma Xu. Xu Dong saw that his eldest nephew was pitiful and had only one piece of pocket money, so he helped him pay ten yuan.

He also put in ten dollars himself.

Finally, it was the turn of the three Dabao brothers.

The little guys gathered in a circle and discussed for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion.

Xu Dong smiled and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

The three brothers nodded at the same time.

"Then go!" Xu Dong encouraged.

Dabao took out two large loaves of bread from his backpack, and then came to the young lady. Xu Dong just wanted to stop him, but gave up after thinking about it.

They had all been taken out and had been exposed to the light. It was impossible to keep a low profile. Moreover, they all wore masks and were not afraid of being recognized.

Dabao's move not only shocked the young lady, but also shocked the melon-eating crowd present. Two large loaves of bread were worth two kilograms of grain.

And at first glance, this bread is no ordinary bread. It has a shiny surface and is dotted with densely packed sesame seeds, exuding an alluring milky aroma.

Everyone is guessing, what is the origin of this little fat paper?

"Sister, this is for you."

The young lady subconsciously took the bread.

Dabao turned around and came to the beautiful aunt:

"Auntie, give you some bread."

The beautiful aunt waved her hands repeatedly: "Kid, Auntie can't accept the bread. Where are your parents?"

Dabao looked back at his father.

Xu Dong stepped forward, took the bread from the eldest son's hand, and then handed it over:

"You're welcome. After all, it's my child's wish."

"Dad, I accept your wishes, but I really can't accept the bread."

The beautiful aunt waved to her daughter after speaking.

The young lady came over obediently and returned the bread to Dabao with her own hands.

Dabao was a little at a loss.

Xu Dong reached out and touched the little girl's bald head:

"Take it, uncle gave it to you."

The young lady pursed her mouth tightly, fearing that her saliva would fall.

Dabao handed the two pieces of bread to the little sister again: "Sister, our bread is the most delicious. Dabao never lies to anyone."

The young lady looked at her mother.

The beautiful aunt struggled for a while, looked at her daughter with a longing look on her face, and finally nodded towards her daughter.

"Thank you, thank you."

The mother and daughter bowed solemnly to Xu Dong.

Xu Dong waved his hand and was about to take the children away.

Suddenly a little girl's voice came from behind.

"Little brother, wait."

Dabao stopped with a puzzled look on his face.

The little sister ran over and kissed Dabao, and then ran back to her mother.

Dabao shyly hid behind his father.

Xu Dong smiled and joked: "Why are you hiding? You were so bold just now, and now you are shy?"

Lele came over and grabbed Dabao.

"Hoho, I want to tell Niuniu when I go back that Dabao, you kissed another girl."

"I didn't, it was the little sister who kissed me."

Dabao argued.

"Hehe, no matter who kisses whom, it's still a kiss anyway. Dabao, you're done. Niuniu will definitely not want to play with you anymore in the future."

Lele looked like he was gloating about his misfortune.

"Second sister, you are not allowed to say anything."

Dabao admitted that he was a little panicked. The little guy didn't want to lose Niuniu as a good friend.

"Why?"

Dabao quickly grabbed his father and said aggrievedly: "Dad, the second sister bullied me."

"Okay, your second sister is joking with you."

Xu Dong smiled and comforted.

Next, Pan Jiayuan can't stay any longer. Wherever they go, the crowd will follow.

Letโ€™s go to the swimming pool instead!

Shortly after Xu Dong and his party left, Wang Shujuan and her daughter also left Panjiayuan. Although the security of the park has always been very good, it does not rule out being targeted by interested parties.

Got home successfully.

Wang Xiujuan's mother-in-law came over immediately: "Why are you back so early?"

"Mom, we met a noble person today."

"What noble person?"

The little sister rushed to answer: "Grandma, a little brother just gave us two large loaves of bread. The bread is so delicious."

Wang Xiujuan took out the bread from her backpack.

"Such a good bread, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

The mother-in-law looked suspicious. Could it be that her daughter-in-law had gone out to "do bad things"? But thatโ€™s not right. Even if you โ€œdo bad thingsโ€, you wonโ€™t get such a generous reward.

"Grandma, it's true."

Seeing that her granddaughter didn't look like she was lying, the mother-in-law felt relieved.

"Mom, what should I do with these two loaves of bread?"

Wang Shujuan asked.

She also wanted to keep the bread, but her family's life had been tight and her husband was bedridden, otherwise she would not have taken her daughter out for a "part-time job."

"Give it to me. I'll find someone to exchange for some food." The mother-in-law said her plan.

Wang Shujuan handed the bread to her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law looked at her unusually sensible granddaughter, turned around, went into the kitchen, and cut off a small piece of bread with a kitchen knife.

"mom?"

"It's okay. You earned the bread. No matter what, you must let the children taste it."

The little sister took the bread and ran into the bedroom with a happy face. She wanted to share the delicious food with her father.

An hour later, the little sister finally finished eating her bread, and her mother-in-law came back with a small cloth bag in her hand.

Wang Shujuan immediately stepped forward to take the bag.

The mother-in-law looked pleased: "I'm lucky this time. I bought five kilograms of dried sweet potatoes. I won't be hungry this month."

"Mom, who did you ask to change it?"

"At your Aunt Sun's house next door, their youngest son works as the director of the Second Plant Plant. The family is definitely not short of food. Even if others wanted to change, they wouldn't be able to come up with so much."

The mother-in-law replied.
