My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 531 Bodyguard
Before going to bed, Xu Dong and his wife chatted for a while.

"Husband, my mother and the others want to move to Hancheng to settle down, can they still buy a house now?"

Yang Lina tried to ask.

When it comes to buying a house, Xu Dong can't help but frown. The old man cheated him so much money just to buy a house. This is a thorn in his heart.

Good guy, now he wants to buy a house again, isn't this adding salt to his wounds?
Count on him to pay, dreaming!

"Well, why do you want to move?"

Yang Lina glared at her husband: "Does it need to be said, where is Cidu, you haven't been there before? Yang Ge and Yang Zhen are getting bigger and bigger, so they can't stay in their hometown forever, right?"

"Okay, I'll help you ask tomorrow."

Xu Dong nodded, deliberately not talking about money.

Yang Lina then added:
"If you can buy a villa, that's even better."

"Villa? A villa costs at least tens of millions. It's not that I look down on your brother. Can he afford so much money?"

Xu Dong immediately became vigilant.

"Isn't there still a bank loan?"

"Bank loans are not easy to borrow. It's okay to talk about ordinary houses, but it's not easy to talk about villas!"

Xu Dong shook his head.

Yang Lina waved her hand: "Don't be sloppy with me, just say whether you can help me, I know you have something to do with Hancheng, just make a phone call."

"Uh, if you can help me, I will definitely help you!"

"That's fine. My mother is old and the living conditions in the interior are poor. I know you have prejudices against Jianbang. I don't blame you for that.

But my mother, she is the grandma of the children, you can't just watch the old man suffer, can you?

When you helped Jingyi buy a house, I didn't say a word. "

"Jingyi's situation is different!"

Xu Dong dryly explained.

"I know it's different, so I didn't ask you to pay, but I just asked you to use my relationship and do a little favor. Isn't that okay?"

Yang Lina asked back.

Having said all this, Xu Dong couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he could only nod and agree.

"Well, a villa is a villa."

Yang Lina immediately smiled: "My husband, thank you."

Xu Dong showed an extremely ugly smile.

Good night's sleep!
Early the next morning, at Mama Xu's suggestion, the whole family was going to go for a stroll in the city. There are so many places to visit in the capital, so they helped Mama Yang check her body.

After all, Porcelain City is only a small place, and the medical resources are not as good as those of big cities. This time, it is a rare opportunity. In the end, under Yang Lina's strong request, Yang's mother could only obediently "give in".

The first thing the group visited was the Summer Palace.

After more than six years of closed renovations, the Summer Palace finally reopened during the Spring Festival, and it was full of tourists for a while, and it was very lively.

After the restoration of the Summer Palace, the entire palace is wrapped in steel frames and glass, which perfectly combines classical and modern, and there is a kind of alternative harmony.

In addition, the interior of the palace is full of green plants and flowers.

Added a touch of natural flavor.

"How much does it cost for such a large venue?"

Mother Yang said distressedly.

"Grandma, this is the Summer Palace, a symbol of our country, it's worth spending any money on."

Lele explained casually.

Mother Yang shook her head: "It's too wasteful. It's not good to plant something in such a big place. Why are you planting so many flowers?"

"The flowers are beautiful!"

"Pretty but not edible."

Lele couldn't help being curious and said, "Grandma, is there anything that I can't eat now?"

"Of course there is. You may not know it in the capital, but you will know when you go down there. Many people have one meal a day!"

Mother Yang sighed.

The three Dabao brothers looked at each other, one meal a day, how could they be so hungry?

"Mom, where did you hear that?"

Yang Lina expressed doubts.

The situation has improved a lot in the past two years. Coupled with the rationing system, it should be no problem to eat enough, not to mention how good it is.

Mother Yang sighed: "You don't need to go anywhere to find out, there are many people like this in the community where we live, they don't eat in the morning and evening, they only eat at noon."

"How is it possible? Could it be that someone deducted rations?"

Xu Ma was surprised.

"That's not true." Mother Yang waved her hand, and then explained: "Actually, in the final analysis, it's because everyone is hungry and afraid that there will be disasters in the future, and they want to take this opportunity to stock up on more life-saving food."

"Why stock up on food? I'm definitely thinking too much. The country has built so many plant factories, enough to supply the whole country."

Yang Lina was a little unconcerned.

"To put it lightly, you forgot about the blight before?" Mother Yang reminded.

"That's just an extreme case. Besides, there's still a reserve bank. It's enough for a year or two. There's no need to make a fuss."

Maybe it's been a long time in peace, maybe Xu Dong has protected his family too well, and as a result, Yang Lina's sense of urgency has weakened a lot.

Especially in the past two years, she almost forgot about the severe drought, and subconsciously believed that her life had returned to normal and the world was peaceful.

"You have never experienced a precarious life, but if you have experienced it, you will not say such a thing. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others."

Yang's mother spoke earnestly.

Mama Xu is on the side of her mother-in-law this time.

"Nana, your mother is right, we can't take it lightly, let Dongzi check the basement later, and store as much food as possible while the food supply is sufficient."

"Mom, it's not necessary! I just went to the basement to clean it some time ago. There are plenty of supplies in it, and some of them have even deteriorated. Dongzi took the opportunity to throw away a lot. I feel distressed when I see it."

Yang Lina smiled wryly.

She never expected that her husband had hoarded so much food at home, such as canned food, bacon, and grains. Many of them were more than ten years old, and she didn't know if they could still eat them now.

"It's okay. Only by being prepared can we be safe. Besides, our family doesn't lack that little money, so let Dongzi go and do it!" Mama Xu persuaded.

"Okay, I'll take the time to talk to him."

Yang Lina reluctantly agreed.

Mother Xu and Mother Yang smiled at the same time.

After leaving the summer palace, the group went to Panjiayuan again. Yang Lina wanted to buy a set of jewelry for her mother-in-law and mother, as a show of filial piety.

Compared with a few years ago, today's Panjiayuan has gradually transformed from a second-hand goods trading market into a commercial center, and it is also the largest clothing wholesale market in the entire northern region.

In a gold shop, as soon as the clerk saw Xu Ma and Yang Lina, he knew that a big customer was coming, and he was immediately extremely hospitable.

"Help me get more sets of gold jewelry."

"Okay, we have a VIP box in our store, do you want to go in and have a seat?"

The clerk took the initiative to invite.

Xu Ma nodded immediately: "Go, it happens that the children are tired from walking, so it's good to have a rest."

"Grandma, I'm thirsty."

Dabao shouted.

"Student, we have bottled water, orange juice, and chrysanthemum tea in our store. What do you want to drink?"

"I think……"

Yang Lina interrupted directly: "Bring some bottles of bottled water!"

"Mom, I want to drink orange juice."

Dabao said relentlessly.

"What orange juice do you drink? It's all blended with flavors, it's unhealthy." Yang Lina said in a bad mood.

Dabao pouted.

Soon, bottled water and gold jewelry were brought over. Mama Xu and Mama Yang tried several sets in a row, and finally picked a style that they were satisfied with.

Yang Lina paid the money generously. The two sets of jewelry together weighed more than 150 grams, a total of over 150,000.

The current price of gold is about 830 yuan per gram. Recently, the political situation in Oufei is unstable, and the war has the risk of expanding, which will lead to a sharp rise in the price of gold.

Mother Yang touched the bracelet and couldn't help but blame:

"You don't need to buy so many, it's not like I don't have jewelry, it's a waste of money!"

Over the years, every time Yang Lina went home, she would bring one or two pieces of jewelry to Yang's mother. After a few years, she could make up two or three sets.

Xu Ma persuaded: "Just change it."

"Coco, Lele, do you want jewelry? Grandma hasn't given you any jewelry yet!"

"Mom, no need, the two of them are still in school and don't need jewelry."

Yang Lina directly refused.

Ke Ke echoed: "Grandma, my sister and I have no shortage of jewelry. Every year on our birthday, my dad will give us a lot of jewelry."

Compared with gold jewelry, the sisters prefer shiny gems, such as sapphires, topaz, and emeralds, and both of them have received a lot.

"Okay then, when you get married, grandma will help you choose some beautiful jewelry."

"Thank you grandma!"

The two sisters held Yang's mother one by one from the left and the other from the right.

As for the triplets, they were ignored because they were young and troublesome.

The three brothers have no accessories except the peace charm around their necks.

……

Early the next morning, Mother Yang left.

Yang Lina helped her mother pack a bunch of luggage, not only food, but also a bank card.

There is [-] million in the card, which she usually saves. The money is nominally borrowed, but if the brother doesn't pay it back, she won't take the initiative to ask for it.

Soon it will be the weekend again.

In a few days, school will start.

The matter of looking for bodyguards before was finally settled, and thanks to the relationship of Lao Pan's family, a total of eight applicants came this time, all of whom were retired soldiers.

The interview location was chosen at the bakery, which was open enough for the candidates to show their skills.

Choosing bodyguards is a big deal, so Xu Dong simply dragged his whole family to the bakery, including the five siblings. After all, he was choosing bodyguards for them, and they also had a say.

After careful selection, especially after listening to the opinions of his mother and wife, Xu Dong finally selected three bodyguards, one man and two women.

The male bodyguard is Zhou Yinsheng, he is in his early forties, he is not the handsome guy in my impression, but he is more experienced, stable and reliable;
On the female bodyguard's side, one is Peng Yan, 27 years old this year, and the other is Wang Xiaoxia, one year older than Peng Yan. Both of them have relevant experience.

The reason why Xu Dong chose two female bodyguards was mainly because it was more convenient for the Coco sisters and Mama Xu.

Zhou Yinsheng is the captain of the security team, with a monthly salary of [-], and the two female bodyguards are [-] a month, and there is a year-end bonus at the end of the year.

The three of them are very satisfied. After all, it is just a simple pick-up job with a low risk factor and no night shift. This salary level is considered very good.

Next is buying a car.

Xu Dong bought three new cars in one go.

The last one was bought for my dad. With Dad Xu's stinginess, he wouldn't take the initiative to buy a new one if he didn't drive the old car until it was scrapped.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
