My courtyard shelter

After leaving the swimming pool, it was noon.

Xu Dong found a teahouse, asked for a private room, and started preparing for lunch.

It is inconvenient to go out, and the temperature is high, so food is not easy to store, so lunch is very simple, one piece of bread for each person, plus an after-dinner fruit, and nothing else.

The triplets looked at their father eagerly.

The three brothers gave away two loaves of bread, and now the three of them only have one loaf left, so they will definitely not be full.

Xu Dong ate the bread and deliberately pretended not to see it. He had to bear the consequences of the mistakes he made.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to educate the three brothers and let them know the preciousness of food. No one would spoil them outside the home.

"dad……"

"What's wrong?" Xu Dong was unmoved at all.

Dabao handed the bread to his father pitifully: "Dad, just one piece of bread."

After speaking, he pointed at himself and his two younger brothers with his chubby hands. The meaning was obvious, one piece of bread was not enough.

Xu Dong wiped his mouth, took the bread from his eldest son's hand, divided it into three parts, and divided it into three parts, and then distributed it to the three of them.

"Isn't that great? Let's eat quickly. We have to go to the zoo and botanical garden in the afternoon!"

"Dad, it's too little. I won't have enough to eat."

Dabao looked at a ball of bread that was only as big as his fist and said with a puffed mouth.

"There's nothing you can do about it if you don't have enough to eat. Who asked you to give away the bread?"

Xu Dong waved his hand.

Xu Jingyi broke off half of her bread and was about to give it to her cousins. However, she received a look from her uncle and had to give up the idea.

The same is true for everyone else, and everyone instantly became very close to each other.

Of course, except Lele.

The more deflated the brothers are, the happier the big devil is. If her father hadn't been there, she would definitely have added insult to injury.

"Wow, dad doesn't love me anymore."

Dabao shouted with a sad face.

Erbao and Xiaobao also felt aggrieved.

Xu Dong put down the bread and said seriously:

"Of course Dad loves you, but you are about to go to elementary school and are already young men. You must think clearly about the consequences before doing something.

Just like what happened in the morning, the three of you knew clearly that the bread was for lunch, but you still insisted on giving it away. Now that you are fine, you can only go hungry.

Don't think that your father and brothers and sisters will help you. Everyone only has one piece of bread. If it is given to you, your father and brothers and sisters will be hungry just like you.

Do you think you are hungry yourself, or do you want your father and brothers and sisters to be hungry? "

The triplets were quite sensible and ate their own bread obediently, then quickly finished the apple, barely half full.

Under Xu Dong's supervision, everyone else also finished their lunch without any waste, completely eliminating the possibility of "cheating".

Before four o'clock in the afternoon, the triplets began to complain that they were hungry. Xu Dong delayed his return until dark. He wanted the three brothers to remember what it was like to be hungry.

As soon as they got home, as expected, the three Dabao brothers cried and went to complain to their grandmother.

Xu's mother was so distressed that she quickly served a bowl of mung bean soup to each of her grandchildren to pacify their stomachs for the time being.

"What happened?" Yang Lina asked concerned.

Xu Dong briefly explained the matter.

"Oh, it's so rare for a good dad to finally get the idea!" Yang Lina said sarcastically.

Xu Dong smiled bitterly: "I don't want to really hurt them. My sons will go to elementary school soon. They are not too young. It is time for them to understand something."

"Hmph, why don't you take care of the boss and the second child?"

"They are both girls, and they are in the rebellious period of youth. The stricter the control, the greater the backlash. It is better to let nature take its course. You can relax, I know it well."

Xu Dong quickly assured.

"Take it easy, be careful of capsizing in the gutter, and don't make fun of their future."

Yang Lina couldn't help but remind her.

"Everything is under my control, don't worry!"

…

The following days seemed uneventful.

Probably because of the lack of food, the entire society has fallen into a downturn, and the pace of life has suddenly slowed down a lot. Even walking has slowed down unconsciously.

After enduring it, I finally made it to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Xu Jingyi went out carrying a large bag of things.

After getting along for a few months, her relationship with Pan Jun has been warming up day by day. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since her boyfriend can't come back, she will go to her boyfriend's house to celebrate the festival.

This is also her first time visiting.

According to the address, Xu Jingyi quickly found her boyfriend's home.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Jingyi, why are you here?"

Mother Pan was so happy that she could hardly close her mouth from ear to ear.

"Auntie, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I came to see you." Xu Jingyi replied with a smile.

"come on in!"

Pan's mother quickly pulled her "prospective daughter-in-law" into the house.

Xu Jingyi conveniently put the bag on the sofa:

"Auntie, uncle hasn't come back yet?"

"Well, your uncle has been transferred to Hancheng with the army. Everything there is difficult at the beginning. He is very busy. He probably won't be able to come back this year."

Mother Pan sighed.

"How many years will uncle stay there?"

"At least three years."

Xu Jingyi quickly comforted her: "Auntie, don't worry. I heard from my uncle that Renchuan Airport is undergoing maintenance. After a while, Yanjing will be able to fly directly to Hancheng, and it will be convenient to travel back and forth."

"Okay, let's not talk about him. Are you thirsty? Auntie will pour you some water."

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"Why are you being polite to Auntie? Just treat this place as your own home." Pan's mother scolded.

Xu Jingyi took the water cup and drank a sip of water, then looked around and asked casually:

"Auntie, is Yingying not at home?"

"She went home with Chen Lei and will not be back until the afternoon."

Chen Lei is Pan Ying's boyfriend.

Xu Jingyi nodded, and then took the bag next to her: "Auntie, my grandmother fried some fish balls, and I brought some here for you to try. There are also 20 eggs. My mother asked me to bring them to you."

"No, no, the things are too expensive, Auntie can't accept them, you can take them back later!"

Pan's mother refused repeatedly.

"Auntie, do you treat me as an outsider?"

Xu Jingyi pretended to be aggrieved.

Mother Pan had no choice but to take the bag: "Auntie, please accept it. Your family is too polite. Auntie doesn't know what to say."

"Auntie, if you say this again, I won't dare to come again next time."

"Okay, okay, Auntie won't say anything. You sit down and watch TV for a while. Auntie will go to the room to put things away."

"Auntie, go and get busy!"

In less than five minutes, Mother Pan came over with a red envelope and a green bracelet.

"Jingyi, this is your first visit. Auntie gave you a red envelope. You must accept it."

"Auntie, it's really not necessary."

"Good boy, take it!"

After refusing, Xu Jingyi accepted the red envelope.

Mother Pan then grabbed the right hand of the "future daughter-in-law" and put the jade bracelet on it.

"Auntie, the bracelet is too expensive!"

Xu Jingyi wanted to take off the bracelet.

This bracelet is not cheap at first glance. It can't be bought without hundreds of thousands.

Pan's mother quickly stopped her and said, "There is only one pair of bracelets, which were passed down to me by Pan Jun's grandmother. I have already planned it. One for you and one for Yingying. It's just right!"

"Auntie, I haven't officially agreed to Pan Jun yet?"

Xu Jingyi said shyly.

"Isn't it a matter of time? Our Pan Jun has already identified you, and Auntie has also identified you. You can't run away." Pan's mother smiled and joked.

Next, under Pan's mother's strong persuasion, Xu Jingyi stayed for lunch.

Pan's mother ate the fish balls and praised them:

"Your grandmother's cooking skills are really good. The fish balls are so chewy. Auntie has never eaten such delicious fish balls in her life."

In fact, the fish balls taste good on the one hand.

On the other hand, it is also due to the current shortage of materials. Although the living standard of the Pan family is not bad, it is not much better. Usually, let alone eating meat, there is very little oil and water.

Only when Pan Jun occasionally "goes abroad" will he bring some dried goods and local specialties such as seafood, but he can't eat them for many meals.

"Auntie, I'll bring more next time."

"Don't do that. It's not easy for your grandma to make fish balls once. Eating once is enough. How can they make them often?"

Pan's mother shook her head.

"Auntie, my grandma basically needs fish balls two or three times a month. It's okay."

Every time Xu's mother makes fish balls, she will give some to the eldest and second families. The old people never favor one over the other.

"That won't work either. When you and Pan Jun get married, Auntie will feel at ease eating."

Pan's mother didn't want to be criticized.

"Auntie, why are you talking about this again!"

"Okay, Auntie won't say anything. Let's continue eating." Pan's mother smiled.

After dinner, Xu Jingyi helped Pan's mother clean up the kitchen, and then asked to leave.

Pan's mother wanted to keep her for dinner.

"Auntie, you know today is Mid-Autumn Festival. My grandma is having a dinner party tonight. I really can't keep you."

"Well, auntie won't keep you. If you have time on the weekend, remember to come and sit. Your uncle and Pan Jun are not at home all year round. The house is too quiet."

Pan's mother urged.

Xu Jingyi nodded: "Auntie, I will definitely come to accompany you more in the future."

Pan's mother was very happy and personally sent her "future daughter-in-law" to the taxi.

After leaving her boyfriend's house, Xu Jingyi did not go home. Her father just called and said that the digital store was closed, so she asked her to go directly to her grandma's house.

When they arrived at the courtyard, it was very lively inside.

Xu Ting pulled her niece to her side: "Jingyi, tell me how you get along with your future mother-in-law?"

"Aunt, what future mother-in-law? There's no sign of her getting along with me."

"What's there to be ashamed of? I'm an experienced person, so I can help you figure it out."

Xu Jingyi blushed: "Aunt Yan is very kind to me and gave me a bracelet."

"What kind of bracelet? Let me see it!"

Xu Ting urged.

Xu Jingyi raised her right hand directly.

"Wow, what a big deal!"

Because she couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, Xu Ting called her eldest sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law over directly.

Yang Lina looked at the bracelet carefully and then said: "It should be real. Dongzi gave me a jade comb, and the texture looks very similar."

"Nana, how much is this bracelet worth?"

Tan Aifang asked quickly.

"I don't know the exact price, but it must be several hundred thousand. Pan Jun's family is not bad, so they shouldn't use cheap goods to bluff Jingyi."

Yang Lina said carefully.
