My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 243: Hundred Schools of Mid-Autumn Festival

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is almost a torment for Gao Yuemei, and their family will never be reunited.

In addition, Zhang Ming, who is far away in the Philippines, has not heard from him recently, which adds to his melancholy.

Although I don't want to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, I still have to prepare dinner.

A small pot of rice porridge, a plate of fried tofu, and a plate of shredded potatoes.

This is Gao Yuemei's grandparents' dinner that day.

"Sister Gao, are you home?" Teacher Xing, the landlord, suddenly called out from the door.

"Here!" Gao Yuemei opened the door with her grandson in her arms.

Teacher Xing immediately went forward to invite: "Sister Gao, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, my son is back, do you want to come over for a meal together?"

The reason why Teacher Xing is so enthusiastic is purely because Gao Yuemei gave a catty to their family when she exchanged emperor goose meat. Her two grandchildren are still young and they need nutrition.

Twenty catties of rice is a lot, but as an old Hutong person, I still have a little bit of money, and my life is much better than that of ordinary families.

"No!" Gao Yuemei quickly shook her head, "I've already prepared dinner, and I'm about to eat it!"

"It's okay, save the same for tomorrow morning."

Unable to shirk, Gao Yuemei came to Teacher Xing with the plate of fried tofu.

Teacher Xing's son and daughter-in-law are very polite, maybe they heard that Gao Yuemei works in the power company, no matter before or now, the power company is a very good unit.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ms. Xing’s family had a rather hearty dinner. The staple food was steamed dumplings. There were three dishes in total, one stewed radish, one stewed tofu, and the other stir-fried dried chives.

The portion of the meal is not small, but it is not oily, not as good as the plate of fried tofu that Gao Yuemei brought, at least the tofu was fried until browned, and there was a thin layer of oil on the bottom of the plate.

As expected, fried tofu was very popular, and most of it went into the mouths of Teacher Xing's two grandsons, and even the bottom of the plate was wiped clean by the dumpling skin.

During the dinner chat, Teacher Xing brought out a plate of moon cakes, er, it actually looks more like sweet potato cakes.

"Sister Zhang, try it quickly, it's still hot right out of the pan!" Teacher Xing warmly greeted.

Gao Yuemei politely took a piece.

Teacher Xing might feel sorry for it, so he stuffed a piece for little Zhang Tao, and the little guy ate happily.

"Ms. Wu, do you and your wife live on campus, or did you buy a house there?" Gao Yuemei asked casually.

Mr. Wu is the son of Mr. Xing. He teaches at Yangong University. In a sense, he is inheriting his mother's career.

"Now we live on campus, and our original house has been expropriated." Mr. Wu replied.

Teacher Xing sighed and said, "Speaking of this, I want to die already. It would have been better if we had separated at the beginning. A house costs tens of millions!"

Teacher Wu's daughter-in-law sighed.

Gao Yuemei also felt bad. Their family had separated, but the ending was even worse. It would have been better if they hadn't gone abroad at the beginning of the year.

……

Champs Family Community, Niu Niu's house.

A family of three is celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival. Compared with Mr. Xing's family, the food standard of their family is obviously one level lower.

The staple food is multigrain rice, and there are two other dishes, one is potato cakes, and the other is stewed tofu with cabbage and radish, but the family is very happy to eat.

After dinner, Niuniu pulled her parents to sit on the sofa.

"Dad, Mom, I have a gift for you."

"Good girl, mom and dad are waiting, tell me what gift it is?" Niuniu's father scratched his daughter's little nose.

Niuniu rubbed her nose: "You have to stretch out your palms."

Niuniu's father and Niuniu's mother followed suit.

Niuniu calmly took out two mooncakes from her pocket, put one in her father's hand and the other in her mother's hand.

Niu Niu's father stood up in surprise, and quickly asked, "Niu Niu, where did you get these mooncakes?"

Niuniu's mother guessed the answer.

"Niuniu, did Dabao give you the mooncake?"

"Brother Dabao gave it to me." Niuniu nodded.

"Honey, is this big treasure a relative of our family?" Niuniu's father asked suspiciously.

The rations are so tight now, there are still such generous people, and the mooncakes are not ordinary at first glance, and the materials are very particular.

Niuniu's mother explained: "Dabao is a classmate of my daughter's kindergarten. Their family lives in the courtyard house next door to our community. Niuniu often goes to their house to play."

"No wonder, it turned out to be a child of a rich family."

"Well, their family runs a big company, and I heard that there are thousands of employees under them." Niuniu's mother added.

"Father, Mom, hurry up and eat mooncakes!" Niuniu urged.

Niuniu's father returned the mooncakes to his daughter: "Niuniu, daddy doesn't like mooncakes, you can eat them yourself!"

"No!" Niuniu shook her head again and again, "Dad, the mooncakes are delicious, just try them!"

"The child loves you so much, so don't be reluctant." Niuniu's mother persuaded.

"But……"

Niuniu's father thought for a while, broke the moon cake from the middle, and divided half of it to his daughter.

Niuniu immediately shook her head, "Father, I have already eaten three big mooncakes at Brother Dabao's house today, and this one is for you."

Niuniu's father touched his daughter's head, their little padded jacket was indeed very considerate.

He took small bites of the mooncake, which was really sweet and fragrant, and gave the other half to his daughter-in-law, and left the rest for his daughter to eat later.

"Niu Niu, does that big treasure usually bully you?" Niu Niu's father asked concerned. Boys are very naughty, and he was afraid that his daughter would suffer.

"No, brother Dabao is very kind to me and often brings me delicious food."

Niuniu's mother comforted: "Don't worry, I have seen that child, he is a sensible and good child. I hope that the two children can become a couple, their family will not worry about food and drink, and it will definitely be a good marriage."

"Whether to marry or not, Niu Niu is still so young, don't make up her mind for her!" Niu Niu's father said sourly.

"What, can't bear it?"

"No way, the child of a rich family is fickle, so don't hurt Niuniu." Niuniu's father reluctantly found a reason.

"Okay, I'm joking with you, you still take it seriously."

……

At the same time, Datou followed his girlfriend to the mother-in-law's home for the festival. After more than three months of treatment, he was just discharged from the hospital two days ago.

Datou's girlfriend is the former nurse, named Bai Li, 28 years old, and her hometown is Mengzhou.

As early as last year, their family moved to Yanjing.

It's just that the family can't afford a house, can't settle down, and doesn't even have the qualifications to apply for public rental housing. Fortunately, they came early and got a temporary residence permit.

At present, Baili's family is renting a one-story private house in the suburbs. The seven members of the family are squeezed into two rooms, and the combined area is less than 50 square meters.

Although the big head looks naive, and he can't match Shuai, but the other party is also from Yanjing, at least he can apply for public rental housing, which is the main reason why Bai Li agreed to the other party's marriage proposal.

Anyway, she couldn't stay in this house anymore, the sooner she moved out, the better.
