My courtyard shelter

Lele took out a small paper box from the bag.

"Auntie made a small cake specially for you. Do you like it?"

"Wow, so beautiful!"

Linlin had little stars in her eyes.

Lele stuffed the small cake into the other person's hand: "Take it out and eat it. Next time it's your birthday, aunt will make you a big one."

"Thank you, aunt."

Linlin stood on tiptoes and kissed the other person on the face.

"Dinner is about to begin, and we'll have the cake in the afternoon." Mother Ji quickly took the small cake from her granddaughter's hand and put it in the cupboard.

Linlin pouted, but there was nothing she could do.

Lele, probably overflowing with motherly love, took out another jewelry box from her pocket.

"Linlin, aunt still has a gift for you."

"What is it?"

Linlin's attention was immediately diverted.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

Lele gently opened the jewelry box, and inside lay a cartoon necklace. The pendant was a golden Pikachu, about the size of a billiard ball.

Pikachu's eyes are a pair of high-quality sapphires, and his face is also inlaid with a ruby, which looks vivid.

This necklace was specially ordered by her.

The cost alone would be 300,000 yuan.

"Wow, it's so beautiful. Is this really for me?" Linlin covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"Can aunt put it on for you?"

"Yeah!"

Linlin nodded repeatedly.

Lele immediately helped the little girl put on the necklace.

The little girl touched the necklace around her neck happily. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. Then she couldn't wait to run to her grandpa and uncle to show off.

When Ji's mother saw it, she couldn't help nagging: "Lele, isn't this necklace cheap?"

"Mom, it's just a little gold and four gems. It's not worth anything."

"No matter how valuable it is, it still costs hundreds of thousands, right?"

The Ji family's conditions are good, and Ji's mother has good eyesight.

"Hehe, I also customized a set of jewelry for you and eldest sister. It should be ready next month. I will deliver it together then."

"I won't use it, don't waste money."

Ji's mother quickly refused.

"It really doesn't cost much. I saved the gold and gems myself, and at most I paid a little for the craftsmanship. It cost me a few thousand yuan."

As soon as Lele finished speaking, Ji Wei and his wife arrived.

Linlin immediately ran to her parents: "Dad, Mom, look, this is the necklace my aunt gave me. It's really beautiful. I like it so much."

"What's the expense? I originally planned to give our little baby a longevity lock. I saw that the master's skills were good, so I made a few more sets of jewelry. I also left one set each for you and mom.

Lele explained casually.

"That's so embarrassing..."

Ji Wei quickly said politely.

This sister-in-law really has nothing to say. When she got married, she was given a set of jewelry worth at least millions, which was flattering.

How long has it not been?

Now here comes another one, it’s like a boy giving away money. The daughter of the richest man is really no ordinary person. A little bit of it between his fingers will be a surprise.

However, compared to jewelry, she values ​​​​all kinds of food more, ranging from rice and flour to all kinds of meat and dried goods. This is the real big deal.

Lele smiled and waved her hand: "It's a small matter, so don't be polite to me. Please help me to persuade mom later. As a daughter-in-law, I don't even have a chance to honor her."

"Mom, Lele is such a virtuous daughter-in-law, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

Ji Wei immediately joked.

"How can I be dissatisfied?" Ji's mother shook her head, and then "complained": "Lele is good at everything, but she likes to buy me jewelry and new clothes too much. I am an old lady who is half buried in the ground. I wear such Good for what?"

"Mom, you are not old at all."

Lele retorted on the spot.

"Yes, when Lele is born, will you help take care of your grandson?" Ji Wei agreed.

"I can't take care of my grandson anymore. I have to go to work. I'm afraid I can't help them much." Mother Ji couldn't help but regretted, "Lele, don't blame mom. When the situation stabilizes in a few years, mom will retire and help you all." Take care of the kids.”

It stands to reason that given the family conditions of the Ji family, they should be able to retire early. However, the current situation is unstable. To be on the safe side, neither father nor mother is prepared to leave the state-owned enterprise.

In the event of an extreme situation, no matter what, state-owned enterprises are more reliable than individuals working alone. In the face of survival, any family happiness can be tolerated.

This move is also to provide support for the young couple.

Lele didn't take it seriously at all: "Mom, Ji Yin and I usually have a lot of leisure time. Taking care of a child is not just for fun. You and my dad don't have to worry."

"Thanks a lot."

"Mom, our family doesn't speak the same language."

"Yes, yes, I really hope this world can return to normal soon."

…

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lele and Ji Yin said goodbye. Ji's father and Ji's mother sent them to the gate of the community. Before parting, the two sides exchanged some instructions.

Captain Zhou didn't come in the afternoon, and the driver was a new bodyguard who had just joined the job.

Back at the manor, the young couple immediately noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere at home.

"Cousin, where are my mother and my grandma?"

Lele said doubtfully.

Normally, when I come back from prenatal check-up, my mother and grandma would come over to greet me immediately, but today there was nothing.

Zhang Enya sighed: "Lele, Ji Yin, our Mark is gone. Grandma is so sad today that she didn't even eat much lunch. My aunt and the others are trying to persuade her in the bedroom!"

"Ah? When we went out this morning, Mark called out to me twice. How could he just die?"

Lele felt uncomfortable instantly.

Mark has been in their family for nearly 20 years. He has grown up with the five siblings and has long been an indispensable part of the family.

Although I knew there would be such a day.

But I didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

"Alas, Mark is too old. He is almost skinny. The last time the doctor came to check, he said that an accident could happen at any time."

"Woo woo..."

Lele couldn't stand it anymore. She threw herself into her husband's arms and cried. Huahua's death had made her really sad for a long time.

Ji Yin quickly patted his wife's back: "Okay, stop crying, you are still pregnant with a baby. Mark died of old age and did not suffer much. We should be happy for him."

"How can you comfort people like this?"

"Le Le, Ji Yin is right. Mark died in his sleep at his grandmother's feet. He did not suffer at all. This is already very satisfactory."

Zhang Enya helped to comfort him.

Speaking of which, Mark lives better than most Chinese people. Not only can he eat enough, but he can also have meat every meal.

Especially in recent years, Mark is so old that his teeth are almost gone and he can't chew meat. Xu's mother is afraid that he will not get enough nutrition, so she specially used the best meat and vegetables to chop into meat paste, and then cooked it into porridge for him to eat.

This treatment is really amazing.
