My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 499 Emerald Bracelet
Coming out of the swimming pool, it was noon.

Xu Dong found a teahouse, asked for a box, and began to prepare for lunch.

It is inconvenient to go out, and the temperature is high, so the food is not easy to preserve, so the lunch is very simple, each person has a piece of bread, plus an after-meal fruit, and there is nothing else.

The triplets looked at Dad eagerly.

The three brothers gave away two breads, and now the three of them only have one bread left, so they must not be full.

Xu Dong ate the bread, pretending not to see it on purpose, he had to bear the consequences for the mistakes he made.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to educate the three brothers and let them know the value of food. Outside is no better than at home, and no one will spoil them.

"dad……"

"What's wrong?" Xu Dong was unmoved at all.

Dabao handed the bread to his father pitifully: "Dad, just one bread."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to himself and his two younger brothers with his chubby hands, which meant that one piece of bread was not enough.

Xu Dong wiped his mouth, took the bread from the eldest son, divided it three times, and divided the bread into three parts, and distributed it among the three.

"Isn't that all right? Let's eat quickly. We have to go to the zoo and botanical garden in the afternoon!"

"Father, if there is less, I won't be full."

Dabao looked at the lump of bread that was only the size of a fist, and said with pouting.

"I can't help if I can't eat enough. Who told you to give away the bread?"

Xu Dong waved his hand.

Xu Jingyi broke her bread in half and was about to distribute it to her cousins, but she received the look from her uncle and could only give up her thoughts.

The same is true for everyone else, and everyone has a tacit understanding in an instant.

Of course, except for Lele.

The more deflated the younger brothers were, the happier the big demon king would be. If it wasn't for her father being by her side, she would definitely make things worse.

"Wow, Dad doesn't love me anymore."

Dabao yelled with a mournful face.

Er Bao and Xiao Bao also felt aggrieved.

Xu Dong put down the bread and said with a serious face:

"Of course Dad loves you, but you are going to elementary school soon, you are already little men, think about the consequences before doing something.

Just like what happened in the morning, the three of you clearly knew that the bread was for lunch, but you still insisted on giving it away. Now it’s all right, you can only be hungry.

Don't think that your father and brothers and sisters will help you. We all only have one piece of bread. If it is given to you, father and brothers and sisters will be as hungry.

You said, is it because you are hungry, or do you want your father and brothers and sisters to be hungry? "

The triplets were quite sensible, obediently ate their own bread, and then quickly ate the apples, barely eating a half full.

Under Xu Dong's supervision, the others also finished their lunch without any waste, completely eliminating the possibility of "cheating".

Before four o'clock in the afternoon, the triplets started to cry that they were hungry. Xu Dong insisted on delaying his return until dark. He wanted the three brothers to remember what it was like to be hungry.

As soon as they got home, as expected, the three Dabao brothers went to grandma to complain, crying and shouting.

Xu's mother was so distressed that she hurriedly filled a bowl of mung bean soup for each of her grandchildren, and put them on their stomachs for the time being.

"What happened?" Yang Lina asked concerned.

Xu Dong briefly explained the matter.

"Hey, it's really rare that a good father is actually enlightened!" Yang Lina sarcastically said.

Xu Dong smiled wryly: "I don't want to really hurt them. My sons are going to elementary school soon. They're not too young. It's time for them to understand something."

"Hmph, why don't you take care of the boss?"

"The two of them are girls, and they are now in the rebellious period of youth. The stricter the control, the greater the rebound. It is better to let nature take its course. You can relax, I know it in my heart."

Xu Dong quickly promised.

"Take it easy, be careful not to overturn the boat in the gutter, and don't make fun of the future of the two of them."

Yang Lina couldn't help reminding her.

"Everything is under my control, don't worry!"

……

The days that followed seemed uneventful.

Probably due to lack of food, the whole society fell into a downturn, and the pace of life suddenly slowed down a lot, even walking unconsciously slowed down.

After suffering and suffering, it finally reached the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Xu Jingyi went out with a big bag of things.

After getting along for a few months, the relationship between her and Pan Jun has been warming up. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since her boyfriend can't come back, she will go to his boyfriend's house to pay a visit.

This is also her first visit.

According to the address, Xu Jingyi quickly found her boyfriend's house.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Jingyi, why are you here?"

Pan's mother was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

"Auntie, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm here to see you." Xu Jingyi replied with a smile.

"come on in!"

Mother Pan hurriedly pulled the "daughter-in-law-to-be" into the house.

Xu Jingyi conveniently put the bag on the sofa:

"Auntie, hasn't uncle come back yet?"

"Hey, your uncle has been transferred to Hancheng with the army. Everything is difficult at the beginning. He is extremely busy. He probably won't be able to come back this year."

Mother Pan sighed.

"How many years will uncle stay there?"

"At least three years."

Xu Jingyi quickly comforted: "Auntie, don't worry. I heard from my uncle that Renchuan Airport is undergoing maintenance. After a while, Yanjing will be able to fly directly to Hancheng. It will be convenient for travel."

"Okay, let's not talk about him. Are you thirsty? Auntie will help you pour water."

"Thank you auntie!"

"What are you being polite to auntie, just treat this place as your own home." Pan's mother scolded.

Xu Jingyi took a sip of water from the water glass, then looked around, and asked casually:

"Auntie, isn't Yingying at home?"

"She, she went home with Chen Lei, and she won't be back until the afternoon."

Chen Lei is Pan Ying's boyfriend.

Xu Jingyi nodded, and then took the bag beside her: "Auntie, my grandma fried some fish balls, and I brought some here for you to try, and there are also twenty eggs, which my mother asked me to bring Your."

"No, no, it's too expensive, Auntie can't take it, you can take it back later!"

Mother Pan repeatedly declined.

"Auntie, do you treat me as an outsider?"

Xu Jingyi pretended to be wronged.

Pan's mother had no choice but to take the bag: "Auntie, please accept the head office. Your family is too polite. Auntie doesn't know what to say."

"Auntie, if you say this again, I won't dare to come again next time."

"Okay, okay, auntie, don't talk, you sit and watch TV first, and auntie goes to the room to put things away."

"Auntie, go get busy!"

In less than 5 minutes, Mother Pan came over with a red envelope and a green bracelet.

"Jingyi, it's the first time you came to the door. Auntie gave you a red envelope, you must accept it."

"Auntie, it's really unnecessary."

"Good boy, take it!"

After evading it, Xu Jingyi accepted the red envelope.

Pan's mother immediately grabbed the right hand of the "prospective daughter-in-law" and put the jade bracelet on it.

"Auntie, the bracelet is too expensive!"

Xu Jingyi wanted to take off the bracelet.

This bracelet is not cheap at first glance, and it can't be bought without hundreds of thousands.

Pan's mother hurriedly stopped her and said, "There are a pair of bracelets in total. They were passed down to me by Pan Jun's grandmother. I have already planned them out. One for you and one for Yingying. It's just right!"

"Auntie, I haven't officially agreed to Pan Jun yet?"

Xu Jingyi said shyly.

"Isn't that a matter of time? Our family Pan Jun has already recognized you, and Auntie has recognized you, so you can't escape." Pan's mother joked with a smile.

Next, Xu Jingyi stayed and had lunch after Pan's mother tried her best to persuade her to stay.

Mother Pan ate the fish balls and was full of praise:
"Your grandma is really good at cooking. The fish balls are so delicious. Auntie has never eaten such delicious fish balls in her life."

In fact, the taste of fish balls is one aspect.

On the other hand, it is also due to the current shortage of supplies. Although the living standard of the Pan family is not bad, it is not much better. Let alone meat, there is very little oil and water.

Only when Pan Jun came back from "going abroad" occasionally would he bring some dry goods such as seafood and local specialties, but he couldn't eat a few meals.

"Auntie, I'll bring some more next time."

"Don't, it's not easy to make fish balls once at your grandma's house, once is enough, how can you make them often?"

Mother Pan shook her head.

"Auntie, my grandma basically wants fish balls two or three times a month, it's fine."

Every time Mama Xu made fish balls, she would share some with the old family and the second family. The old people never favored one another.

"That doesn't work either. Auntie will eat with peace of mind when you and Pan Jun get married."

Mother Pan didn't want to lose her tongue.

"Auntie, why are you bringing this up again!"

"Okay, let's stop talking, auntie, let's continue eating." Mother Pan smiled.

After the meal, Xu Jingyi helped Pan's mother clean up the kitchen, and then said her farewell.

Pan's mother also wanted to keep the other party for dinner.

"Auntie, you also know that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my grandma will have a dinner at night, so I really can't stay."

"Well then, Auntie won't keep you. If you have time on weekends, remember to come and sit down. Your uncle and Pan Jun are not at home all year round, and the house is too quiet."

Mother Pan exhorted.

Xu Jingyi nodded: "Auntie, I will definitely come to accompany you more in the future."

Pan's mother was very happy and personally sent the "daughter-in-law-to-be" to the taxi.

After leaving her boyfriend's house, Xu Jingyi didn't go home. Her father called just now, and the digital store was closed, so she was asked to go directly to grandma's house.

When we arrived at the courtyard house, it was very lively inside.

Xu Ting pulled her eldest niece to her front: "Jingyi, tell aunt, how are you getting along with your future mother-in-law?"

"Auntie, why is the future mother-in-law still missing?"

"What's there to be shy about? Auntie is someone who has been here, so I'll give you a reference."

Xu Jingyi blushed: "Aunt Yan was very kind to me and even gave me a bracelet."

"What kind of bracelet? Let me see!"

Xu Ting urged.

Xu Jingyi directly raised her right hand.

"Tsk tsk, what a great deal!"

Because she couldn't see the good or the bad, Xu Ting directly called her sister-in-law and younger siblings over.

Yang Lina looked at the bracelet carefully, and then said: "It should be true, Dongzi gave me an emerald comb, the texture looks very similar."

"Nana, how much is this bracelet worth?"

Tan Aifang asked quickly.

"I don't know the exact price, but there must be hundreds of thousands. Pan Jun's family is not bad, so they shouldn't fool Jingyi with cheap goods."

Yang Lina thought about it.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
