My courtyard shelter

"Mom, Brother Dabao and Uncle Zhou are here."

Niuniu shouted loudly as soon as she entered the door.

Niu Niu's mother wiped her hands on her apron and immediately came over to greet her: "Why are you here now? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Aunt Sun, let's go to the hotel first."

Dabao explained immediately.

"What hotel should we stay in? Just stay at home. Your uncle is away on a business trip, so we can just free up two rooms."

Niuniu’s mother said politely.

"Director Xu has already reserved the room. If you don't stay, it will still cost you the same."

Of course Uncle Zhou won't take it seriously. A man and a woman alone are nothing. It can't be justified anywhere.

"Aunt Sun, the hotel we are staying in is right next to your house. It only takes seven or eight minutes to walk."

Dabao echoed with a smile.

Niuniu's mother suddenly felt a thump in her heart. This was not a good sign. The distance between the two sides was too close. If Dabao took the initiative to invite her daughter to sit there, the situation would be bad.

After all, he is a young man with a strong spirit, and he may do anything outrageous.

"Really? Auntie will go over with you later to take a look. The public security in Shanghai and Beijing has not been very good in the past two years. You must be extra careful when going out."

Niuniu's mother's adaptability is pretty good.

He immediately thought of a way to resolve the crisis.

"Aunt Sun, don't worry as Uncle Zhou is here. Uncle Zhou can fight ten of them by himself."

Dabao said with confidence.

"It's better to be careful. Only after seeing it can I really feel at ease."

Dabao nodded: "Okay then, I will take you to visit after dinner."

"Okay, let's start eating now. If we don't eat, the food will get cold."

After finishing speaking, Niu Niu's mother ran into the kitchen to serve the food.

Dabao immediately followed him, helping him with chopsticks and a bowl. Before setting off, grandma specially told him to be diligent at Niu Niu's house.

Captain Zhou went to the balcony for a walk.

After a while, the food was set.

Lunch was well prepared, with five or six dishes cooked, including fish and meat, and the staple food was baguette, which was quite rare.

"Brother Zhou, Niuniu's father has collected a bottle of wine. Do you want some?"

"No, no, no, drinking can easily cause trouble."

Captain Zhou immediately waved his hand.

"Okay, you can eat more food yourself..."

"I can do it myself."

Captain Zhou said politely.

Niu Niu's mother then helped Dabao pick up a piece of bacon: "Dabao, auntie would like to thank you very much. Thanks to you for sending so much food over the past two years, our family has the life we ​​have now."

Speaking of which, the food sent by Dabao was mainly meat and was of high value.

The family of three simply couldn't bear to eat, so Niuniu's father simply replaced most of the meat with whole grains, which not only fed himself, but also his relatives on both sides.

Niu Niu smiled with two small dimples.

Dabao was almost dumbfounded: "No...you don't need to thank me. My grandma prepared everything. If you want to thank me, just thank my grandma."

"Thank you all. Are your grandparents okay?" Niuniu's mother asked smoothly.

"Well, my grandma often goes to the fields to grow vegetables, and the family also feeds pigs. Grandpa has to do carpentry work every day, and the two of them have no time to spare."

Dabao introduced briefly.

"Where's your dad? Why don't you come over and sit with us?"

"My dad is too busy at work, and he has to rush to the capital for meetings."

"No wonder, your dad has become the richest man now. There must be a lot of things in the company. It's really difficult for him."

Niuniu’s mother immediately agreed.

Over the years, she has been paying attention to the development of the old Xu family. In just a few years, this former old neighbor has rushed to the rich list of Daxia at an astonishing speed.

Last year, he became the richest man directly.

When the news came out, she and Niuniu's father were stunned.

When Dabao's father resigned that year, the couple felt really regretful for a while. Who would have thought that the legend would begin next.

"Aunt Sun, my father said that when he returns, he will come to visit you and uncle."

"It doesn't matter if you come or not, work is the most important thing."

"My dad only started to be busy this year. He used to be very free."

Dabao sighed.

After chatting about home affairs, Niu Niu’s mother turned to care about Dabao’s college entrance examination results.

"Dabao, how did you do in the college entrance examination? Which university are you going to?"

Niuniu rushed to answer: "Mom, Brother Dabao has been admitted to the University of Sydney. I will also apply for the University of Sydney next year."

"So fast?"

"Aunt Sun, I was admitted in advance." Dabao didn't shy away from this, "My college entrance examination score was still a few points short, so my dad helped me through the back door."

“It’s already pretty good if you can pass the undergraduate level.”

Niuniu’s mother comforted her.

Niuniu suddenly said in distress: "My grades are about the same as those of Dabao's brother. I don't know if I can get into Sydney University?"

"Then you have to work harder. The University of Sydney has been very popular in the past two years, and the admission score has been getting higher year by year. Your current score is still a bit behind."

Niuniu’s mother encouraged her.

The University of Sydney was originally just an ordinary university. The reason why it was able to catch up from behind and become a famous university is mainly due to two major factors.

First, in terms of hardware, with the comprehensive development of Kangaroo Country, the comprehensive strength is almost improving every day, which will inevitably give birth to a number of key local colleges and universities;

The second is software. Due to the rapid decline of the United States and Europe, Sydney has welcomed a large number of high-quality immigrants, including experts and professors. These talents quickly made up for the shortcomings of teaching staff.

Seeing his friend's depressed expression, Dabao felt very distressed and comforted him:

"Niuniu, don't worry. If it doesn't work, I'll go and ask my dad to help you..."

"No." Niuniu's mother interrupted on the spot, "Dabao, this is Niuniu's own business. You have helped her a lot. She can't rely on you all her life. This time, Auntie won't allow you to intervene."

In fact, Niuniu's mother also has good intentions.

The two families are not well matched. If Niuniu needs to falsify even a high-level diploma, what qualifications does she have to marry into a wealthy family?

Even if she marries in, she will be looked down upon, and she will face all kinds of rumors in the future. The marriage may not last long.

In this case, it is better to give up at the beginning.

This is also a test she gave her daughter.

…

After dinner, Niu Niu pulled Dabao into her room. Niu Niu’s mother did not stop him because they were under her nose.

After entering the room, Dabao could not wait to open his backpack and took out the carefully prepared gift from it.

“Niu Niu, this is for you.”

“What’s in it?”

Niu Niu took the gift box with a smile.

Dabao smiled and said, “Open it and see for yourself!”

Niu Niu carefully opened the box and was immediately surprised:

“Wow, it’s a mobile phone!”

“This is a smart phone, the latest model, which I bought with my part-time salary.” Dabao explained casually.

“The phone is too expensive, I can’t accept it.”

Niu Niu returned the phone with reluctance.

Dabao waved his hand quickly: "I have my own mobile phone, it's useless to keep it, just take it!"

"My mother won't agree..."

"Just keep it secret from Auntie, I'll accompany you to the business hall to get a mobile phone number tomorrow."

"Forget it, I really can't take it."

Dabao's mind moved: "How about this, I'll lend you the money to buy the phone, and when you go to college, you can do odd jobs to earn money and pay me back?"

"Can you make so much money doing odd jobs?"

Niuniu expressed doubt.

The price of a smartphone is usually more than ten times that of a feature phone, especially in the past two years, there is a huge shortage of stock in the market, and the cheapest one starts at 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

"Leave it to me, I'm going to start a business soon, come and help me, I'll arrange a higher-paying position for you."

"Brother Dabao, are you going to open a store?"

Niuniu guessed.

After all, Sister Lele's business is to open a store.

Dabao deliberately kept it a secret: "Keep it a secret now. I'll tell you when you get to Sydney next year."

"Brother Dabao, thank you for your phone. I also want to give you a gift."

Niuniu finally accepted the gift.

"What gift are you going to give me?"

Dabao was immediately full of expectations.

Niuniu smiled shyly: "Close your eyes first."

Dabao didn't doubt him and closed his eyes obediently.

Soon, he felt a hot air spray on his face, hot and numb, making people blush and heartbeat.

Then, his lips touched a softness.

It was very short, almost as soon as it was touched.

Dabao subconsciously opened his eyes: "Niuniu..."

"Brother Dabao, please teach me how to use a smartphone. I don't know how to use it yet?"

Niuniu interrupted immediately.

Dabao touched his lips with his fingers, as if to confirm whether it was an illusion just now.
