Chapter 223 Dried Fish

August 26, Saturday, around 9 a.m. ReadМ

Xu Dong took the Coco sisters and his eldest nephew to pick them up at the station. They hadn't seen each other for such a long time, and he didn't know if little Enya had gained some weight.

At 9:48, the train arrived at the station on time.

Xu Dong and the three little guys successfully picked up the people. Only Aunt Zhang and Zhang Enya came, but Uncle Zhang did not come.

The child Zhang Enya is wearing a dress and a pink hat, looking like a little princess.

"Uncle Xu..." Little Enya was actually shy after not seeing him for several months.

Xu Dong stepped forward and picked up the other person, weighed him, and then said happily: "Well, he has indeed gained weight. Uncle is relieved."

When she was first discharged from the hospital, Zhang Enya weighed only 20 kilograms and was as thin as a carrot head. Now there is at least some meat on her arms and calves.

"Uncle Xu, I have to eat two bowls of rice every meal now." Zhang Enya said happily.

Lele said in surprise: "Sister Enya, you are so powerful! I can only eat one bowl of rice per meal, and I can't eat any more. But my cousin is as powerful as you, he can eat every meal." Two bowls of rice.”

Zhang Enya asked Uncle Xu to put him down, and then walked to the Coco sisters.

"Sister Keke, sister Lele, hello!"

Coco took little Enya's hand and said openly: "Hello, sister Enya, let me introduce you, this is my cousin, we all call him Brother Xiaoxu.

"Brother Xiaoxu, hello!"

Ma Xu glanced at little Enya and felt that this sister was so well-behaved and gentle. She was much cuter than Coco and Lele, unlike his cousins ​​who bullied him every day.

So she said from the bottom of her heart: "Sister Enya, you are so cute!"

The children got to know each other, Xu Dong asked Aunt Zhang:

"Auntie, why didn't uncle come?"

"Your uncle can't leave. The school is undergoing expansion and he has to be on duty every day." Aunt Zhang explained.

"Oh, what a pity. I've prepared the wine and I'm just waiting for the uncle to come over. Why don't I have time?" Xu Dong sighed.

"Next time, there will definitely be a chance." Aunt Zhang smiled.

"Yes." Xu Dong nodded, "Auntie, my room has been tidied up. You and Enya can stay at my house these days!"

Aunt Zhang waved her hand quickly: "Xiao Xu, we can just stay in the hotel, and we won't go to your house."

Accommodation is okay these days, but food is definitely a big problem. This time they came here and even brought their own rations. It was a matter of principle.

Xu Dong tried to persuade her for a while, but Aunt Zhang just didn't agree and insisted on staying in a hotel or returning to Qindao.

The persuasion was useless, Xu Dong had no choice but to drive them to a hotel near his home.

Since the housing reform, the ownership of these hotels belongs 100% to the state.

However, the energy above was limited, so they could only re-contract the hotel to private operators. There are probably tens of thousands of similar hotels and inns in Yanjing.

In addition, there are some family hotels and B&Bs, but they are generally very small, usually with only a few rooms, and are not very safe due to the mixed crowds of dragons and snakes.

Arriving at the front desk, Xu Dong said directly:

"Boss, open a double room."

Aunt Zhang quickly advised: "Xiao Xu, a single room is fine. Enya is still young, so just sleep in the same bed with me."

"Okay, then a single room."

"A single room is 288 yuan a night. How many nights do you want to stay?" asked the front desk receptionist.

"Two nights." Aunt Zhang rushed to answer. Xiao Xu had to go to work next week, which was also the time for them to leave.

Xu Dong frowned and said, "Auntie, why don't you stay a few more days? I can take two days off."

"No, I came here this time mainly to show Enya you. Two days is enough." Aunt Zhang insisted.

The room was opened, and Xu Dong helped Aunt Zhang move her luggage into the room. There were not many things, only three bags, two large and one small, and she didn't know what was inside.

After placing his luggage, Xu Dong spoke again:

"Auntie, come to my house for lunch. You won't refuse this time, right?"

Aunt Zhang smiled and shook her head: "No, I just want to get to know your parents too!"

…

Ten minutes later, the group finally returned to the courtyard.

Coco took Enya's hand and said with a smile: "Enya, this is my home, you are welcome to be a guest in my home."

"Wow, Sister Keke, your family is so big!" Zhang Enya, a child, exclaimed.

Lele said proudly: "This is the house my father bought. It is bigger than the previous home."

"Uncle Xu is so awesome!" Zhang Enya, a child, expressed admiration.

"Woof woof woof..."

Lele stepped forward and grabbed Mark: "Mark, stop screaming. Sister Enya is not a bad person."

Mark screamed a few times and then lay down on the ground again. The temperature was high during the day, but the ground was still cooler.

"Sister Enya, don't be afraid, Mark won't bite." Looking at the shivering Enya, Coco quickly comforted her.

When Xu Ma saw the guest coming in, she quickly stepped forward to say hello. Maybe it was because they had the same surname, and the two of them felt like they hit it off as soon as they met.

After welcoming the people into the living room, Keke and the others took Enya upstairs, while the adults were chatting in the living room.

Aunt Zhang took out the bag she carried with her: "Sister, we don't have much good stuff on Qindao, so we brought you some dried fish. Don't dislike it!"

To be honest, she really didn't expect that this Xiao Xu actually lived in a courtyard house and was much richer than she imagined.

Since Xiao Xu left, he would send some food to their family every month, mainly dried shrimps and dried vegetables. As the saying goes, return a favor, and the dried fish is specially used to give back to the other party.

These dried fish took her a lot of effort to collect, a total of three pounds and four ounces, most of which were bought from fishermen, and a small part was picked up by the old couple when they went to the sea.

Xu's mother quickly took the bag, turned the dried fish with her hands, and then sniffed the smell:

"Good stuff, old sister, you are so polite."

"Yes, although Yanjing is the capital, there is no meat on the market. If these dried fish are put on the market, customers will definitely fight for them." Yang Lina echoed.

As an ordinary family, it is really rare to get these dried fish. From this, it can be seen that it is true that living by the sea makes sense.

"If you like it, I'll save some and give it to you later." Aunt Zhang was very happy. She always took advantage of Xiao Xu, and she felt very guilty.

"Aunt, I like to eat dried fish very much. I'll trouble you more in the future." Xu Dong said deliberately. It's good to have a give and take.

Yang Lina glanced at her husband meaningfully. Speaking of it, she helped to send those packages. Although there were not many things, they were much more valuable than dried fish.
