My courtyard shelter

"Cousin, where is Mark now? I want to go see him."

Lele sobbed.

"Uh..."

Zhang Enya didn't know whether to say it or not.

Lele asked in confusion: "What's the matter? Has Mark been buried? Where is he buried?"

"Lele, Mark was taken away by his uncle, saying that dog meat should not be wasted and should be donated to the canteen of the welfare home."

"Wow... How could my dad do this?"

Lele cried even harder.

Speaking of the devil, Xu Dong had just returned from the welfare home. He was also very sad about Mark's death, but his sense of thrift in his bones made it impossible for him to watch dog meat being wasted like this.

This is a crime.

Huahua was too thin before, and there was not much meat at all. In addition, he was sick, so he was finally abandoned.

Mark is different. He died of old age.

Ji Yin quickly greeted him: "Dad, you're back."

"Well, what happened to Lele? Did you bully her?" Xu Dong said with a bad face.

"Dad, Ji Yin... didn't bully me, you bullied me." Lele cried.

"How did I bully you?"

Xu Dong felt a little puzzled.

"How can you treat Mark like this? It's dead, and you don't even let go of its meat."

Xu Dong's face suddenly became stern: "Nonsense, do I need to explain to you what I do? How did I teach you since you were young? Never waste food. In my opinion, dog meat is also food, why can't we eat it?"

"But..."

"There are not so many buts. After you give birth to the child, I hope you have time to visit the welfare home. There are still many children who don't have enough food.

Do you know? How happy those children are when Dad sent Mark there? No matter how important Mark is, can he be more important than people?"

Xu Dong waved his hand: "Okay, you are already an adult. You have to accept some things even if you can't accept them. Don't use your own moral standards to kidnap others."

"Dad, don't worry, I will persuade her later." Ji Yin immediately agreed.

This time he stood on the side of his father-in-law.

The father-in-law is right. In this environment, it is really not the time to be pretentious, and there is no qualification to be pretentious. Living people are the most important.

"Okay, go back to your room and rest, don't get tired, I'll go see your grandma."

Xu Dong was also in a bad mood.

In the bedroom, Xu's mother was still wiping tears. The older people get, the more nostalgic they are. They hate this kind of separation of life and death.

"Mom, I'm back."

Xu's mother raised her head: "Did you send it over?"

Xu's mother did not object to her youngest son's handling method. The old lady knew how precious food was at the moment, and she was also reluctant to waste it.

"It was sent over, and the child inside was very happy, just like the New Year."

"Alas, Mark likes children the most. If he is still alive, he must be very happy to see this scene."

Xu Dong tried to persuade: "Mom, please be open-minded. I will catch two more puppies later. What breed do you like?"

"No need. Now is not the time to raise a dog. Don't we still have Fat Tiger at home? He is Mark's godson. Having him is enough."

Xu's mother waved her hand.

Yang Lina took the bowl of soup and said, "Mom, drink some more soup. How can you not eat?"

"No appetite."

"Mother-in-law, just drink a sip. Don't let Dongzi and the others worry about you."

Mother Yang followed and advised.

"Old woman, eat a little. If you don't eat, I will starve with you at night."

Dad Xu was acting like a spoiled child.

Mother Xu was anxious: "Old man, don't do anything stupid. Don't you know your own health? Don't get sick from starvation. You will have to see a doctor again."

"Then drink the soup."

"Okay, I can drink it!"

Mother Xu took the soup helplessly and drank it all with a frown.

Yang Lina finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom, do you want another bowl?"

"Mom, I just stewed pigeon soup for Enya and Lele. It's not greasy at all. Do you want a bowl?"

Xu Ting asked immediately.

"Mom can't eat anymore. I've already had the soup. Don't hang around me. Let me have a good rest!" Xu's mother shook her head.

Xu's father stood up and started to chase them away: "Okay, I'll stay. You guys go do your work!"

"Dad, you can't even take care of yourself, how can you take care of my mom? I'd better stay!"

Xu Bin volunteered.

"Get out. Won't I call you if I have something?"

Xu's father said unhappily.

Tan Aifang quickly pulled her husband.

Her father-in-law is in poor health now. He is most afraid of being called "old and useless". Her husband is also talking about things that are not related to the topic. He has no vision at all.

After everyone left, Xu Dong told Xiao Huzi to take Fat Tiger into the bedroom. With a dog to accompany him, Mom will definitely feel better.

...

After more than a week, with the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the arrival of the "Second Grandson's Wife", Xu's mother's mood finally recovered a lot.

Mark was gradually being forgotten by everyone.

Early in the morning, Xu Ma started to work.

Mid-Autumn Festival was a rare occasion in the year, so she gave the chef and servants a day off, and all the housework was assigned by her.

"Big brother, have you finished plucking the chicken feathers?"

"Almost."

Xu Bin couldn't help but speed up.

Xu Ma walked to the third brother again: "The ribs are a bit big, chop them smaller."

"I know."

Xu Dong replied helplessly.

Little Tiger came over with a basket of vegetables and said, "Grandma, look, the vegetables are ready."

The vegetables were picked by Xu Jingyi.

Little Tiger is still young and can't recognize many vegetables. It's impossible to rely on him.

"Our little Tiger is really sensible."

Mother Xu touched the little guy's scalp casually.

"Hehe, I'm going to help grandma feed the pigs."

Little Tiger jumped to the basement.

Mother Xu came to the kitchen with a basket of vegetables: "Lingling, help grandma wash the vegetables."

Today is a holiday, Ma Lingling came back yesterday, and Ma Xu and Pan Jun came back with her.

"Grandma, leave it to me!"

Ma Lingling took the basket with a smile on her face.

Pan Jun, who was standing by, had just finished processing the rabbit meat: "Grandma, the rabbit is done, is there anything else?"

"Call your dad and ask him why he hasn't arrived yet?"

Mother Xu ordered.

"I just called him. He said he was delayed by a meeting and will come over after the meeting."

Mother Xu immediately complained: "Why is there a meeting during the holiday? Are there so many meetings?"

"Grandma, my dad will retire after this year, so he may be busy in the second half of the year."

Pan Jun replied.

His dad is actually at retirement age.

It's just that due to the severe external environment in the past two years, it has been delayed until now. Now the situation in America has suddenly eased, and Europe has also stabilized. The authorities are planning to make large-scale military cuts.

His dad is really going to retire this time.
