My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 93

After get off work, Xu Dong followed Lao Jin to the well-known barbecue restaurant, and spent another 100 yuan to find a scalper to join the team.

"This shop is the most authentic. It uses voles. Unlike other homes, the mice in the sewer are used directly. No matter how much seasoning is added, the sour smell can't be covered."

Xu Dong echoed: "Voles are better, they have less bacteria."

In fact, after being smoked and roasted at high temperature, no bacteria can survive, and the rats in the sewer can eat it.

Lao Jin gave a thumbs up: "Connoisseur!"

Xu Dong nibbled on two roasted mice in a row, and then he stopped in a hurry.

If it wasn't for Xu's birthday, he would have eaten enough today.

Due to the rodent infestation, this roasted rat is not expensive. The big one is 100 yuan, and the small one is only 30 yuan. Compared with pork, the price is very close to the people.

"Xiao Xu, I'll cost you tonight."

"Everyone is a colleague, so you don't have to be like this." Xu Dong said politely.

"Okay, I'll treat you next time."

When I drove back home, Yang Lina's cake was ready. It was soft and looked pretty good.

Xu Dong praised: "Yes, it's not worse than the cake I bought last time!"

"Husband, what have you eaten? Why does it smell like barbecue?" Yang Lina complained while covering her nose.

"I'm a little hungry on the way. I ate some potato chips. Maybe it just tastes like barbecue!"

Xu Dong dare not tell the truth, otherwise, with Yang Lina's temper, it is estimated that he won't be able to kiss for a month.

Miscalculated this time, next time you should bring some chewing gum with you.

At this time, Lele puffed up angrily and said, "Dad doesn't like Lele anymore, so he secretly eats potato chips by himself."

Yang Lina is usually very strict with the children's snacks, and it all depends on Xu Dong secretly giving a little to the east and a little to the west.

"Uh, why doesn't Dad like Lele? Dad only ate it when he was really hungry. Can Lele forgive Dad once?" Xu Dong coaxed his youngest daughter.

"Okay!" Lele turned and whispered into his father's ear: "Dad, Lele also wants to eat potato chips. Could you sneak a bag for me tomorrow morning?"

Xu Dong immediately made an OK gesture.

After dismissing his little daughter, Xu Dong hurriedly went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. The smell of roasted rat meat was indeed a bit strong, so be careful.

After dinner, while Xu's mother was washing the dishes, Xu Dong turned off the lights, and the kitchen was completely dark all of a sudden.

"Why did the power go out?"

Mother Xu wiped the water off her hands and prepared to come out to see what was going on.

As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I suddenly heard the singing of the Coco sisters:
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!"

Lele took the cake and walked in the front.

Everyone else followed, the twins were the lead singers, the adults chimed in softly, and even the triplets babbled.

Xu Ma's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and laughed and scolded:
"It's a birthday, it's a birthday, and there are so many new tricks!"

Having said that, the old lady was so moved that she secretly wiped her tears with her sleeves.

Lele said crisply, "Grandma, make a wish quickly and blow out the candle."

Xu Ma secretly made a wish, then blew out the candle in one breath, and the lights in the restaurant turned on again the next second.

"Mom, what wish did you make?" Xu Dong asked with a smile.

"It doesn't work to say it."

Coco took the opportunity to hand over a fruit knife: "Grandma, cut the cake quickly, I made the cake with my mother."

"And me." Lele hurriedly added.

"Okay, they are granddaughters of grandma."

Mother Xu took the fruit knife and cut the chicken cake into six portions. The first portion was given to the triplets. The chicken cake is not a fruit, so it doesn't matter if you eat more.

Standing in front of the triplets, Yang Lina coaxed, "Dabao, Erbao, Xiaobao, please say happy birthday to grandma."

"Sheng... Li... Lose... Le..."

It's a pity that only Dabao spoke up, Erbao and Xiaobao were not very willing to cooperate, and kept reaching for the chicken cake.

Xu's mother was so happy that she hugged the triplets and kissed them one by one.

……

The next morning, when the family got up, they found that the weather was not right. The sky was gloomy and it seemed that it was going to rain.

At the dining table, Xu Ma said happily:
"Okay, it's been almost a year of drought, and it's finally going to rain. You don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Husband, look at what the weather forecast says?" Yang Lina urged Erbao.

Xu Dong took out his mobile phone, clicked on the weather information, and read according to it: "Yanjing, heavy rain turns to heavy snow, the highest temperature is 28 degrees, and the lowest temperature is minus 15 degrees."

"It's snowing, it's going to snow..." The twins coaxed.

"It seems that the drought is really coming to an end." Yang Lina sighed sincerely.

Seeing the excited expressions of his family, Xu Dong couldn't help pouring a basin of cold water:
"It's still early. The drought is so severe now that one or two heavy rains can't solve the problem at all."

And this heavy rain, whether it can fall down, let's talk about it, he has never heard of heavy rain in any part of the country in his previous life.

Not to mention the heavy rain, the moderate rain has never rained, at most it is a light rain, and even in many places it does not rain once a month.

"Erzai, what are you talking about, wouldn't the drought end sooner?" Xu Ma said angrily.

Xu Dong explained with a wry smile, "Aren't I afraid that you guys will have fun?"

"Empty joy is better than no hope." Dad Xu snorted.

"Husband, you..."

Unable to resist, Xu Dong quickly put down his chopsticks and prepared to "run away": "Coco, Lele, go get your schoolbag, it's time for school."

After sending the twins to school, Xu Dong stepped on the accelerator and went directly to the company.

Along the way, the streets were filled with cheering crowds, which was even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

When we arrived at the office, it was still early. Xu Dong swiped his phone for a while, and the Internet was also full of joy. The word "rain" was directly parachuted into the No. 1 hot search.

Xu Dong shook his head unconsciously, how much hope is now, how much disappointment will follow.

Near nine o'clock, colleagues from the security department came to work one after another, and everyone's face was full of relief and joy.

Only Xiang Xin was crying with a sad face.

Xu Dong asked curiously, "Xiao Xiang, what's wrong with you?"

"My father-in-law just bought 100,000 catties of corn yesterday and spent [-] yuan. Now it's all in vain."

Xu Dong directly moved out of the set of rhetoric from the morning.

Xiang Xin was suspicious: "Really?"

"Really, think about it, the rivers have stopped flowing, can a rain come back? It's probably not enough to plug the gap between the teeth." Xu Dong comforted.

"What if it continues to rain tomorrow, the day after tomorrow?"

"There are not so many contingency, tomorrow's things will be discussed tomorrow." Xu Dong said sarcastically.

Throughout the morning, it is estimated that all the people in Yanjing were waiting for the rain, but unfortunately, the ground was still dry until noon.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, raindrops finally floated in the sky, but the raindrops were too small, and it was better than nothing.

After two o'clock, the rain finally became heavier, and it is said that artificial rain enhancement was carried out.

Then there is no more.

The light rain stopped completely after half an hour, the sun reappeared in the sky, and the temperature suddenly rose to more than 30 degrees.
