My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 620 Staying in the Manor

December 12th, Christmas Eve.

After more than eight hours of flying, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Dong and his party finally arrived in Sydney safely. God bless, everything went well.

Sydney is in midsummer in December, the hottest season of the year. However, due to the eruption of Heshi Mountain volcano, the outdoor temperature at this time is only 27 or [-] degrees, which is quite comfortable.

After getting off the plane, Xu Dong took off the down jackets on himself and the children on the spot, and the passengers who were traveling with him did the same.

"It's summer here, it's unbelievable." Lele was stunned.

Xiaobao took the opportunity to tease: "Second Sister, your geography class is taught by your physical education teacher, right? You don't even know such a simple principle?"

"Hmph, who said I don't know? I just didn't realize it for a while."

Lele immediately argued.

"Hey, why don't you talk about it?"

"The seasons in the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere are opposite. Is this common sense?"

"Everyone knows it's the opposite, but what's the specific reason?"

Little Treasure chased after him.

Lele suddenly became angry from embarrassment: "Smelly Xiaobao, why do you ask so many questions? Do you need to know how pigs are raised to eat pork?"

Xu Dong shook his head secretly, his youngest daughter's academic performance seemed hopeless, she couldn't answer such a simple question, no wonder her academic performance was messed up.

"Haha, Second Sister is a big idiot."

Er Bao leaned forward and backward with a smile.

Xu Dong lightly patted the back of his second son's head, and said angrily, "Why are you laughing, did you ever say that about your sister? How good are your grades?"

"Dad, you are biased."

Er Bao said with a guilty conscience.

"Stop arguing, put away your clothes quickly, and let's go home right away."

Xu Dong ordered.

Afterwards, a group of four arrived at the airport pick-up gate, and soon saw Dad Xu, who specially brought a driver to pick him up.

"Grandpa..." The three siblings flew over.

"Haha!" Dad Xu laughed heartily, "Grandpa is here to pick you up, let's go, go to the parking lot with Grandpa."

After 10 minutes, the cars drove out of the airport.

Xu Dong asked with concern: "Dad, are you okay at home?"

"It's very good. When we came, the nannies had already cleaned the house in advance, and the home appliances and furniture were complete. Even the quilt covers were newly bought, and we could move in with our bags."

Father Xu replied with a smile.

"Grandpa, is our manor big?"

Lele couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Big, the new home is not only big, but also has a very big yard. It takes an hour to walk around the fence!"

As a Daxia person, there is no one who doesn't like courtyards, and Dad Xu is no exception. He originally thought that the courtyards in Hancheng were already very good, but compared with this place, they pale in comparison.

"Really? Is there a tennis court in the yard?"

Lele asked quickly.

Tennis is her favorite sport, but unfortunately her courtyard is too small, so she can only go to a special gymnasium, which is very inconvenient.

Dad Xu laughed and said, "Not only are there tennis courts, but there are also basketball courts, badminton courts, and a big swimming pool. You can play however you want."

"Grandpa, is there a football field?"

Er Bao followed up with a question.

Xu Dong helped to answer: "Of course there is, but there is no lawn on the football field, and the area is not large. You can only play beach football."

Although their family is not short of money to raise the lawn.

But the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development here cannot pass the approval at all. After all, raising lawns is too wasteful of water. Except for some public botanical gardens in urban areas, other places are strictly prohibited.

"Beach football is also fine, as long as you can play football." Erbao looked satisfied.

……

In the urging voices of the three siblings.

An hour and a half later, the big manor finally arrived.

"Ba ba..."

Seeing the main family coming back, the doorman quickly opened the electric sliding door. Father Xu took the opportunity to introduce the doorman Lao Song to his youngest son.

Xu Dong took the initiative to get out of the car and shook hands with the other party.

Xu Ma and the others heard the car horn and rushed to the gate impatiently.

"Grandma, Mom, we're here."

"Come here, let grandma take a look."

Xu Ma pulled the three siblings to her and looked them over carefully. Although she hadn't seen each other for three days, she missed them very much and wished she could keep the children by her side all the time.

Yang Lina asked concerned: "Are you hungry?"

Lele touched her belly:
"I've been hungry for a long time, and I can't get enough of snacks."

"I'm hungry too." Xiaobao echoed.

"Don't stand still, dinner is ready, just wait for you to come back, go wash your face quickly, let's have dinner right away." Mama Xu said with a big wave of her hand.

"Grandma, I need to take a shower first, it's too hot here, I just broke out in sweat."

Lele wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Can't you wash it after eating?"

"No, my body smells like sweat."

Yang Lina reached out to take the suitcase from her daughter, and said helplessly, "You like to be clean, let's go, I'll take you to the bathroom."

"Mom, isn't there a swimming pool at home? I'll just go down and swim a couple of laps."

Lele looked eager to try.

Ke Ke quickly persuaded: "Little girl, the swimming pool uses sea water, and after washing, you have to go back to the bathroom to rinse it again. It's too troublesome. If you want to swim, you can swim tomorrow!"

A brief introduction is needed here. As mentioned earlier, the reconstruction work of Kangaroo Country was planned in advance, fully considering the current special environment.

Take water supply as an example. There are two water supply systems in Sydney, one for fresh water and the other for sea water. The two systems are independent of each other and complement each other.

It is precisely because of this that infrastructure such as public bathhouses, public laundry rooms, and public toilets are far less popular than in China.

In comparison, the local living habits are actually closer to those before the severe drought.

"Okay!" Coke was a little disappointed.

Half an hour later, dinner began.

A whole family, including Xu Bin and his wife, sat around the dining table.

The servants quickly prepared the meals.

The dinner was particularly sumptuous.

Sydney is close to the sea, and the most indispensable thing is all kinds of fresh seafood. In addition, the chef's cooking skills are amazing, and the whole family eats it happily.

Xu Bin took the opportunity to ask about the house.

Xu Dong picked up the wine glass and clinked with the boss, and then explained: "Tomorrow is Christmas, I plan to hold a small party at home and invite some good friends over for dinner. As for buying a house, how about the day after tomorrow?"

"No problem." Xu Bin immediately agreed, "I said, third son, your manor is really nice, can you help me find one too, it doesn't need to be so big, just bring a small yard."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Xu Dong shook his head.

"Is there nothing you can do?"

Xu Bin asked unwillingly.

"It's not that I don't want to help, it's that I can't find it. The Kangaroo Country is no better than China. All the cities here are rebuilt. When it was designed, there was no villa area at all.

To tell you the truth, my manor was preserved by chance. If the manor was located in the urban area, it would have been confiscated long ago. "

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
