My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 245 Oysters
Since October, the temperature has dropped sharply in the morning and evening. The triplets have to wear thick cotton clothes to the kindergarten every morning.

But it was convenient for Dabao to hide things, and Niuniu's little face became more rounded under his feeding.

During this period of time, many major events took place internationally.

First of all, there is internal strife in the EU, and several parties refuse to make concessions to each other, almost to the point of incompatibility;

Secondly, with the signing of the "New Antarctica Convention", Antarctica has a new order;
Third, scientists have discovered that the melting of the Arctic and Antarctic glaciers is accelerating, and it is estimated that they will disappear completely in a few years.However, due to the strong evaporation, the two phases cancel each other out, and the sea level does not rise much, and generally tends to be stable;
In the end, the commander-in-chief of the beautiful country was assassinated to death. This is the third commander-in-chief to be assassinated this year, which caused a series of chaos.

……

October 10th is the National Day of Daxia.

This year's National Day is a bit dull, there are not many celebrations arranged, but a few groups of themed sculptures are set up on the Victory Square.

According to the agreement last year, Xu Dong took the two Cocoa sisters to Victory Square early in the morning, preparing to watch the National Day flag-raising ceremony again.

At a glance, this year's crowd is no less than last year's.

After the grand flag-raising ceremony, Xu Dong took the two sisters to visit Panjiayuan. Today is the National Day, and Panjiayuan is much more lively than usual.

"Dad, I'm hungry." Lele said coquettishly, hugging her father's arm.

The father and daughter set off at five o'clock in the morning. They didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so they only brought a little snack.

The original plan was to come back for breakfast.

"Come on, Dad will take you to see if there is a snack bar."

After getting out of the car, Xu Dong took the two sisters for a stroll along the shopping area. After walking around for a long time, they didn't find any place selling food.

Lele cried bitterly: "Dad, let's go home!"

Coco also has a bitter face.

"Let's take a look at the stall area again, and we'll go back after we're done," Xu Dong coaxed.

"Okay, Dad, you have to keep your word." Lele said with a puffy face.

The three father and daughter came to the stall area, where there were more people, Xu Dong held a daughter in one hand, for fear that the two sisters would get separated.

After strolling around for more than ten minutes, Xu Dong's eyes suddenly lit up, which made him discover something extraordinary.

"Coco, Lele, what do you think is that?"

Ke Ke looked in the direction of her father's arm, and it turned out that they were selling shells, but the shells were a bit ugly, not good-looking at all.

"Dad, what shell is that?"

"Uh, these are oysters, you can eat them. Dad, buy them back and give them a taste, okay?" Xu Dong explained with a smile.

In the past, the conditions in my family were not good, and I seldom ate seafood. Occasionally, I ordered some scallop vermicelli at the barbecue stall. The two sisters have never eaten oysters since they grew up!

"Okay." Lele nodded quickly.

Xu Dong stepped forward and asked, "Boss, how do you sell these oysters?"

The stall owner is a more than 40-year-old middle-aged man, wearing a sun hat, dark skin, and a faint smell of the sea.

"Not for sale, one oyster can be exchanged for a catty of cornmeal, or half a catty of rice."

Xu Dong frowned: "It's too expensive for you, can't you exchange a catty for a catty?"

"Brother, I managed to get these oysters back from the beach, and it took me several hours of driving to get here. At least let me earn some hard money!"

"How much does one of your oysters weigh?"

"Each one is more than four taels, don't worry, I specially pick the big ones and bring them here for sale, the ones that are too small can't be sold at the price." The stall owner flattered.

"How many are there in total in this bucket?"

"A total of 38."

Xu Dong thought for a while and said, "I've covered everything, a total of 30 catties of cornmeal, what do you think?"

The stall owner was a little hesitant.

"The temperature will get higher and higher later. If you don't sell the oysters now, when the oysters are too hot, the price will be even lower." Xu Dong persuaded.

"You can add more, if it's only 30 catties, I can't even earn back the fare." The stall owner called Qu.

"That's the one-buy price, 32 catties. This is my final reserve price." After Xu Dong finished speaking, he pulled the sisters as if to leave.

The stall owner quickly agreed: "Okay, 32 catties is 32 catties, we can trade now."

Xu Dong nodded in satisfaction, then talked to the stall owner, and returned to the car to get 32 ​​catties of corn flour.

After 10 minutes, the transaction was completed, and the street stall owner gave Xu Dong even the bucket and water.

After driving back, Lele yelled to eat garlic oysters as soon as she got out of the car. Just in the car, her father showed them a food video about garlic oysters, which made the sisters hungry.

Mama Xu took the bucket with a smile, and the youngest was looking for something to eat, she really had nothing to say.

……

In the afternoon, Xu Dong went to Datou's wedding alone. The condition of Datou's house was not good, and he didn't even have a wedding room, so he didn't bring the children there this time.

The wedding location was chosen in a hotel, and the big head directly booked a suite. Anyway, there are not many relatives on both sides, so a suite is enough.

When they arrived at the place, apart from the bride and groom, all the colleagues from the North Gate came. Xu Dong thought that the boss had notified the wrong time and came early.

He called Datou aside and asked quietly: "Datou, what's the situation, what about your mother-in-law's family, why didn't any of them come?"

"Boss, Bai Li and her family won't be able to come." Datou said bitterly.

"What happened?"

Xu Dong frowned and asked, won't there be some bloody betrothal drama again?

"Ah!" Datou scratched his scalp, "Just this morning, Bai Li, her nephew and niece were forcibly taken away by the Children's Bureau.

Bai Li's parents, brother-in-law and sister-in-law were all arrested because of obstruction. Bai Li and I went shopping in the morning, so we didn't get involved. Otherwise, the wedding probably wouldn't be possible. "

"Children's Bureau?"

As soon as Xu Dong heard this, he knew what happened. It must be that the physical condition of the two children was not up to standard.

A few days ago, I heard from Datou that the conditions of my mother-in-law's family were very poor, but I didn't expect it to be so bad.

The big head nodded: "Well, the two children are also poor, and they are severely malnourished. If you want me to talk about it, it's good to go in, at least they can eat enough."

This Xu Dong is not easy to comment on, so he had to change the subject:

"When will people be released?"

"I went to ask. It will be closed for two days, and it will probably be released tomorrow afternoon." Datou replied.

"Then are you going to hold this wedding?"

"Let's do it. Bai Li and I rent our clothes. It costs more than 2000 yuan a day, and my colleagues are here. We can't let everyone make a trip for nothing!"

Xu Dong patted Datou on the shoulder, Datou was out of luck, and encountered some bad things.

In the end, the wedding of the young couple can only end hastily.

Xu Dong directly wrapped a big red envelope of 800 yuan, and also took 600 yuan for Xiang Xin.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
