My courtyard shelter

December 25th, Christmas.

Today, 80% of the population of Kangaroo Country comes from China, 15% comes from other Asian countries, and the remaining half is indigenous.

So much so that the festive atmosphere was not warm.

It can even be described as deserted.

However, in order to take care of the feelings of Mike and others, and to make the Christmas dinner look worthy of the name, Xu Dong still put a lot of thought into it.

Early in the morning, he drove Coco and Lele out. The father and daughter went to the largest supermarket in the city and bought a lot of Christmas decorations and a plastic Christmas tree more than two meters high.

Although there are many trees planted in my own manor.

But they are all short bushes and the wrong varieties, so they are not suitable as Christmas trees. In addition, these bushes are not easy to cultivate, and it is everyone’s responsibility to care for the trees.

After returning from the supermarket, Xu Dong handed over the arrangement work directly to a couple from the Southern Dynasty who were among the servants. The Southern Dynasty had also celebrated Christmas before, so the other party had experience.

After breakfast, the family began to visit the manor.

Although Father Xu and the others came three days early, they did not systematically visit the manor. At most, they just walked around the villa.

Xu Dong, as the chief designer of the large manor, plays the role of narrator without hesitation.

The first thing to introduce is the ground building.

The entire manor is surrounded by a three-meter-high wall. There are three main buildings inside, from south to north, a large villa, an indoor garden, and a garage.

There is nothing much to say about the villa. It is a traditional Western-style villa with a total of three floors and more than fifty rooms in total, which is enough for the whole family to live in.

The indoor garden is adjacent to the large villa.

This is a leisure place for the whole family, almost equivalent to a miniature botanical garden. It is not only filled with birds and flowers, but also supporting facilities such as a gym, home theater, game room, and swimming pool.

Mark and Huahua also live there.

In addition, the garden also has a small desalination device, which was newly built last year. The manor's water consumption is far higher than that of ordinary households. This is also done to reduce water costs.

In Kangaroo Country, almost all cities are located in coastal areas. Compared with China, they have already achieved 24-hour water supply and implemented stepped water prices.

The more water you use, the more expensive it is.

And it’s unlimited.

After walking around for a while, Father Xu said doubtfully:

"Third brother, isn't there a basement in the manor?"

Yang Lina echoed: "Yeah, I just feel like something is missing. You have built basements in the villas in Hancheng, why don't you have them here?"

"Who said no?" Xu Dong gave it up.

"Where? There is no entrance to the basement in the villa." Yang Lina quickly asked.

"Follow me, the basement is not over here."

After Xu Dong finished speaking, he led everyone to the east side of the villa. This is the sports ground of the manor. The football field, tennis court, and basketball court are basically all in this area.

Lele looked around.

"Dad, where is the entrance? Why can't I see it?"

"No hurries."

Xu Dong took out his mobile phone calmly.

The manor's master control system has been installed on his mobile phone, and he can control the entire manor through the app, including the most important security system.

An icon was lightly clicked.

Amidst a "buzzing" sound, the ground in front of everyone suddenly separated from the middle, and a three-meter-wide underground ramp appeared.

"The basement is under the stadium."

Xu Bin was shocked: "Lao San, why do you make this place look like a movie? What are you hiding down there?"

"Wow, that's cool."

"Dad, is there a treasure cave down there?"

The five siblings were very excited.

Children are very curious.

"We'll find out if we go down and take a look."

Xu Dong took the lead and walked down with a smile.

Everyone followed immediately, but they were more and more surprised as they went down, because there was a huge basement below, with a visual estimate of at least tens of thousands of square meters.

The basement is divided into two rooms: left and right.

Xu Dong immediately introduced: "The warehouse is on the left, and the indoor breeding farm is on the right. Mom, don't you want to raise chickens? This is the most suitable place."

“Why build the breeding farm underground?”

Xu Ma asked curiously.

"It's too smelly to build on it and it affects the living environment." Xu Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"There's no ventilation down there, and the conditions are too harsh to support them at all."

Xu Ma said angrily.

"Don't worry, I had someone carve out a large 'balcony' on the east wall. The balcony directly faces the sea, and the ventilation conditions are good!"

Xu Dong said with confidence.

Their manor is located just on the coastal highlands, with cliffs covering the entire east side. Although there is no beach, the privacy is definitely one of the best.

"Where is it? Take me to see it quickly."

Xu Ma urged.

Others were also curious.

Xu Dong nodded and led everyone along the aisle for more than a hundred meters to the east, then turned right, and instantly a dazzling sunlight came into view.

"What do you think of my design?"

Yang Lina was shocked and said: "For such a big balcony, the amount of work is too big, right?"

"The amount of work is not bad. There was originally a big hole here. It was originally constructed in the open air. After the basement is built, it will be backfilled. It is not as difficult as you think."

"Let me tell you, with your RMB 100 million, you can't build such a big basement."

Father Xu was enlightened.

"It's a coincidence. It takes too much effort to fill such a big hole. At that time, the designer suggested that I build a big pond on the spot, but I rejected it on the spot and directly replaced it with a basement."

"Why build a pond? Raise fish? There is the sea next to it, and you can't see enough?"

Xu's mother sneered at this.

Xu Dong quickly agreed: "Mom, building a pond is definitely a waste. Look at such a large place, you can not only raise chickens, but also raise cattle and sheep."

"Raise sheep and cattle? How to raise them?"

"After a while, I plan to build a few more glass houses on it, and I can use part of it to grow pasture grass. That's what they do in the United States."

"Isn't it too wasteful?"

Xu's father felt a little distressed.

After all, the big glass house was just used to grow grass, which is somewhat unreasonable.

"How can it be called a waste? The meat bought outside is not healthy, and it is all frozen meat. You can go ahead and do it, don't worry about your dad, mom supports you."

Xu's mother immediately retorted.

Dad Xu coughed and said, "What are you talking about? I didn't say I was against it. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Grandma, can I raise a rabbit?"

Seeing that grandpa and grandma were about to quarrel again, Lele quickly interrupted them.

"Of course, no problem. Our family hasn't eaten rabbit meat for many years. It's better to raise a few more. I heard that eating rabbit meat doesn't make you fat."

Mom Xu's attention was diverted.

"Grandma, I want to raise bamboo rats."

"I want Call ducks."

"I want to raise grass mud horses."

The children said in unison.

"What grass mud horse? It's called an alpaca."

Xu Dong corrected immediately.

At the same time, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, no one said they wanted to raise a giant panda, otherwise they couldn't buy it even if they sold it.
