My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 27
"Brother Xu, your yard is quite nice, especially the location is very good, it's a bit quiet in the middle of the noise."

Li Chao looked at the courtyard, and the more he looked, the more he liked it. It was much more pleasing to the eye than his own big villa.

After introducing Xu Ma and Yang Lina, Dad Xu took Li Chao to the place where the dried goods and bacon were stored. All the goods were packed in cardboard boxes and stacked neatly.

"Brother Li, do you want to check it?"

Of course, Li Chao wouldn't make such a low-level mistake, so he naturally checked a few cartons at random.

There is no problem with air-dried goods, that is, the bacon is a little dry, the color is dull, and the taste is estimated to be slightly worse, but it is not harmful.

"No problem, I'm very satisfied with this shipment."

Dad Xu was very happy, and immediately invited Li Chao into the living room, and the next step was the specific transaction process.

As soon as Li Chao entered the living room, he felt a warmth, so he asked curiously:
"Brother Xu, your house is also equipped with a diesel generator?"

Dad Xu shook his head, pointed to the top of his head, and explained, "It's not a diesel generator. The roof is covered with solar tiles. My home is powered by solar energy."

"No wonder I didn't hear the sound of the engine. It shouldn't take a few years for your house to be renovated, right? Solar power generation has only become popular in the past two years."

"The house was only bought last year, and the solar energy was installed at that time." Xu Dad replied.

Li Chao nodded: "That makes sense."

As soon as Dad Xu and Li Chao sat down, Mom Xu came over with two cups of tea and said, "It's not a good tea, so you should quench your thirst."

"Thank you!" Li Chao quickly thanked.

After Mama Xu finished her tea, she didn't leave. She turned around and sat next to Dad Xu. It seemed that she was worried that Dad Xu would collect the money alone.

As for Xu Dong, out of sight and out of mind, he took the Coco sisters and hid on the second floor to play games.

The three chatted for a while, and then the main event came.

Li Chao returned to the cab of the truck, raised a bulging black convenience bag from the inside, then returned to the living room and handed it directly to Dad Xu.

Dad Xu opened it and saw that there were bundles of hundred-yuan bills inside.

Xu's mother was also well prepared. She asked for a money detector from Xu Dong before, and the old couple checked the money in front of Li Chao.

After checking it three times, there is not a single point, not a single point, and there is not a single counterfeit banknote.

"It's exactly 600,000, Brother Li, we've paid both money and goods."

Dad Xu stretched out his right hand and shook it vigorously, with a bright smile on his face unconsciously.

Li Chao also smiled, and finally made a so-called small request:
"Brother Xu, can you help me move the goods? I can't carry so many boxes by myself."

Dad Xu waved his hand: "Even if you don't mention it, we won't stand by and watch it. It's shameful to say it."

Yang Lina also nodded and said yes, the family got 600,000 at once, and she was the happiest one.

After all, my husband messes around all day long, and he must not be able to count on it. The family can't just sit and eat!

Seeing that everyone started to move the goods, Xu Ma rushed upstairs and shouted, "Dongzi, hurry down and move the goods."

Although he was reluctant, Xu Dong came down with his two daughters. His parents were working hard, and he couldn't justify him if he didn't show up again.

Xu Dong greeted Boss Li and joined the handling team.

Although it is not pleasing to the eyes of the other party, at least politeness cannot be lacking, and we must set a good example for the children.

Li Chao saw the twins and exclaimed, "Brother Xu, your granddaughters are so cute, how old are you this year?"

"Seven years old, it's time for the second grade of elementary school in the second half of the year."

Dad Xu introduced, and then let the twins start calling people.

"Hello Grandpa Li!"

Li Chao seemed very happy, and stuffed a big red envelope for each of the twins on the spot. The red envelope was prepared before coming.

Half an hour later, as the pickup truck left, Xu Dong was suddenly relieved.

The old does not go, the new does not come!
In short, with this income, parents and wives can feel a lot of peace of mind, and it can be regarded as a comfort.

Another point is that the shelf life of bacon and dry goods is too short, the longest is not more than one year.

Exceeding this period, it is not inedible, but the risk will increase exponentially, and it is not impossible to buy fresh meat at all, there is absolutely no need to risk the health of the whole family.

In a year, this batch of meat can’t be eaten even if you try to eat it, and sooner or later it will have to be given away or sold.

At most, earn more and earn less.

Besides, we have left all the dried rabbits and geese, as well as dozens of dried chickens, which are absolutely enough to eat by ourselves.

In the end, this meat hangs in the yard every day, and it is indeed a bit too eye-catching. If you sell it, sell it.

At night, the family sat in the living room, discussing what to do with the money.

What Xu Ma and Yang Lina mean is to deposit them in the bank for emergencies, which is also the intention of ordinary women to pursue stability.

Dad Xu meant to continue to open a convenience store. With this experience of "making a lot of money", he became more confident in opening a store.

In this regard, Xu Dong clearly opposed.

"Our family makes money this time, relying on the dried goods and bacon that Mom and Nana worked so hard to make. It has nothing to do with the convenience store."

Just as Dad Xu wanted to refute, he was stopped by Xu Dong: "Dad, listen to me first."

Xu Dongyu persuaded earnestly:
"In the current environment, even if you open a new store, you can't decorate it, you can't find a supply channel, and you can't even get a business license.

We'd better wait and talk. At least we have to wait until the water, electricity, and internet are all connected, and then it's not too late to open a store. "

Xu Ma felt that her son was right, so she helped to persuade: "Old man, why don't you wait, otherwise, how can we lose tens of thousands of rent a month?"

Dad Xu thought about it, and felt that he was too anxious, as if he was overwhelmed by the 600,000, and he was indeed a bit irrational.

So he said: "Okay, let's talk about it in two months."

……

The next morning, after a night of thinking, Xu Dong felt that he couldn't go on like this.

Last night, in addition to talking about opening a new store, Dad Xu also asked him about the supplies in the basement because the store was out of stock.

It seems that Dad still wants to strike while the iron is hot and create greater glories.

Although he was fooled by him temporarily, the signs were already very bad!
After the pain, Xu Dong decided to "self-destruct the Great Wall" and solved all threats at once.

In the afternoon, under the pretext of looking for a new supplier, he was going to go out, but Dad Xu had no doubts.

Putting on the mask, Xu Dong quickly found a more than 50-year-old aunt.

I heard from the neighbors around that the old aunt has a pungent personality, and especially likes to take advantage of small gains, and her reputation is very bad.

It was this kind of person that Xu Dong was looking for.

"You mean, give me 5000 yuan and let me go to your convenience store to make trouble?" The old lady almost suspected that she had heard it wrong.

Xu Dong nodded: "Yes, not only to make trouble, but also to report to the health bureau."

"Isn't this illegal?"

Although the old aunt is a little unreasonable, it does not mean that she likes to be in the game.

Xu Dong explained: "You don't need to do the framing. You just need to be responsible for making troubles. You don't break the law if you just make troubles."

The old aunt finally agreed under the temptation of 5000 yuan.

In less than half an hour, the two discussed a specific plan.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, the old aunt came to the Coca-Cola convenience store to buy something, and then, in front of everyone's eyes, pulled out a dead mouse from the rice box.

The dead mouse is naturally Xu Dong's masterpiece.

At this time, it was at the peak of shopping, and things suddenly started.

Even though Dad Xu repeatedly expressed that he was willing to compensate the old aunt for 1000 yuan of mental damages, the old aunt was unmoved and resolutely called someone from the health bureau.

The final result of the incident was that the convenience store was closed for a month for rectification.

Holding the punishment notice, Dad Xu became disheartened, as if he had returned to the day he was notified of being laid off.

Xu Dong quickly stepped forward and comforted:
"Dad, just give yourself a long vacation. It's not a long time for a month, and everything in the store is almost sold. Let's just take a break for a while."

Since it could not be changed, Dad Xu could only accept it silently. Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, the father and son locked the door of the convenience store again.
