My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 17 Envy
When she came to the parking lot, Xu Ting looked at her brother's new car and couldn't help saying "sore":

"Wow! Even the car has been replaced by a Mercedes-Benz. It really is a fortune, rich man."

Finished with a thumbs up.

Xu Dong was too lazy to pay attention to her. What's wrong with having money? If you have money, you don't break the law.

Ma Jie immediately resolved the embarrassment, "Dongzi, how much did you pay for this car?"

"Brother-in-law, it cost a total of 558 million." Xu Dong replied.

Xu Jingyi took a deep breath and spit out, "It's really expensive!"

"Don't be envious, ask your eldest niece-in-law to buy you the same model in the future." Xu Dong couldn't help teasing.

Everyone showed kind laughter, only Xu Jingyi made a big red face.

In Yanjing during the Chinese New Year, because the Winter Olympics are being held, there are many tourists, and it is even more crowded than usual.

When I returned to the courtyard, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. Xu Ma and others received the call and had already greeted them at the door.

Ma Lingling was the first to jump out of the car, and her mouth was also very fast: "Grandma, grandpa, happy new year! Little aunt, happy new year! Coco, Lele, happy new year!"

Mother Xu stepped forward and took her granddaughter's hand, looked at it carefully, and smiled: "Okay...Okay...Okay...I've grown taller and more beautiful."

After Xu Ting got out of the car, she said hello to Dad Xu. Seeing Dad's energetic appearance, she spoke with full of energy. She thought that the second old man should have a good life here, and then he felt relieved.

Seeing that everyone was just catching up with the past, Yang Lina quickly said, "Everyone, hurry into the house, it's cold outside. According to the weather forecast, it's only minus seven or eight degrees during the daytime today."

"Yes, hurry into the house, don't freeze the children, look at my brain, when I see you, I'm so happy that I'm confused." Xu Ma said "self-blame".

"Mom, it's alright, Lingling and the others are young people who are angry and not afraid of the cold." Xu Ting comforted.

Before entering the yard, there was a naive dog barking inside, and Dad Xu gave a few words and immediately calmed down.

Entering the yard, everyone's first impression is that the yard is really big, and the second impression is why is it so choking?

"Mom, what's in your jar, why does it smell like peppercorns?" Xu Ting asked directly.

Xu Ma rolled her eyes at Xu Dong and replied, "It's bacon, it's a bit too much."

"Why is this a bit too much? This is obviously too much..." Xu Ting began to count the large water tanks: "1234567, I think there are at least one or two thousand pounds here."

If you add the dried chickens and ducks hanging all over the yard, the number is even more.

"The market has been very good recently, so I have done more." Xu Ma explained.

She can't expose her own shortcomings in front of her son-in-law. The older you get, the more you value face.

There was a hint of envy in Xu Ting's eyes. It seemed that her mother's "business" was not ordinary, but super good.

Now she has an urge to stay and do dry goods with her mother. It doesn't matter if she is tired, the key is to make money!

Just thinking of a pair of children who are still studying, she can only suppress this idea.

unless……

Not to mention, this opportunity is even more unlikely.

After entering the living room, put down the gift.

Mother Xu hurriedly greeted everyone into the restaurant for dinner. The noodles were cooked according to the time, and it was just right at this time.

The noodles that have just come out of the pot are poured with a large spoon of steaming stir-fried donkey meat. The soup is thick and tender, which makes people very appetizing.

"Eat the bowl of noodles to cushion your stomach first, and grandma will cook something delicious for you in the evening." Xu Ma said politely.

"Grandma's noodles are the best, and I want to eat another bowl." Ma Lingling patted her ass while eating noodles.

Xu Ma was very happy, "Eat more if it's delicious, grandma's house has enough meat."

……

After eating noodles, Dad Xu, as the nominal head of the family, began to take his son-in-law to visit the courtyard, with Xu Dong to accompany him.

As for Yang Lina, she went shopping with the Coco sisters and three juniors, and she would definitely come back with a big bag and a small bag.

On the other side, Mother Xu held Xu Ting, and the mother and daughter hid in the bedroom and whispered while taking care of the triplets.

"Auntie!" Xu Ting teased Erbao.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo..."

"Hey, Erbao is really good." Xu Ting kissed Erbao, and turned to Xu Ma and asked, "Mom, when did Erbao learn to call people?"

"I learned it not long after my first birthday. Xiaobao learned the fastest, but Dabao, the eldest brother, was the slowest."

"Dabao and the others have grown up a lot, how much do they weigh now?"

"I just weighed it yesterday. Both Dabao and Xiaobao are a little over [-] pounds; Erbao is a little lighter and weighs [-] pounds and [-] taels."

"Can you walk?"

"Dabao can walk a little, Erbao and Xiaobao must be supported by someone."

After chatting about some interesting things that happened to the triplets, Xu Ting shifted the topic to Xu Ma.

"Mom, you and my dad... Are you used to living in this courtyard house?"

"There's nothing I'm not used to, it's much easier than when I was in Luyang. There are many rooms at home, so I don't need to crowd together. There is heating in winter, and the yard is big, so I don't have to go out for a walk." Xu Ma replied with a smile.

Xu Ting said enviously, "Such a big courtyard makes me want to move here and live together."

Although she knew that her daughter was joking, Xu Ma couldn't help but remind:

"Can the son-in-law agree, live a good life, don't be a demon!"

"I was joking..." Xu Ting said depressedly.

In my heart, I thought that the daughter who got married was the water that was poured out, and she was no longer a family with her parents.

Xu Ma breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask, "How long are you here this time?"

"Ma Jie's time off until the thirteenth day, and can only stay for four days at most."

"Otherwise, let Ma Jie go back first, and you and Lingling will stay for a few more days!" Xu Ma suggested.

Xu Ting shook her head and explained, "No, Mom, you forgot, Lingling and the others will start school after fifteen, so why not go back together."

"Oh, look at my memory." Xu Ma said with a wry smile.

Chatting and chatting, the topic fell on Xu Dong.

Xu Ting took the initiative to ask: "Mom, what's the matter with my little brother? It's not a problem to be so swaying all day?"

Xu's mother was also worried: "Who said it wasn't, if you keep swaying like this, you will learn badly sooner or later."

"What did my dad think?"

"What can your dad think now, he's all about the convenience store now, and he can't control Dongzi." Xu Ma sighed.

"Is the convenience store still open?"

When it comes to opening the store, Xu Ma came to the spirit: "It's going to be opened. Before the Chinese New Year, Dongzi took your dad to see several stores. I heard Dongzi say that the contract will be signed after the Lantern Festival."

"Didn't the convenience store say that it doesn't make much money?" Xu Ting wondered.

"I didn't make money before, but now I can make money by selling chicken and eggs. If you don't make money, your dad won't agree to continue to open the store even if he is killed."

What Xu Ma didn't know was that the reason why the convenience store can make money now is that Xu Dong privately subsidized hundreds of thousands of dollars.

For example, every time Xu Dong sold a chicken to a convenience store, he would lose dozens of dollars.

Xu Ting asked in a low voice, "Mom, how much money can a convenience store make a month now?"

Xu's mother didn't shy away from it, and raised three fingers: "It's about 30,000 yuan."

"Huh, isn't it 36 that year, which is really a lot." Xu Ting envied again.

　Thank you all for your votes, thank you!
