Before dinner was over, the twins began to clamor for gifts.

Xu Dong hurriedly took the last bite of food, and then wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"Okay, don't shake it, Dad will go get gifts for you both." After speaking, he took the sisters into the bedroom.

Opening the backpack, Xu Dong carefully took out one large, two small and three large conchs.

"Bell Bell Bell ......"

"Wow, Dad, where did you get this big conch, it's so beautiful." Lele's eyes lit up.

"It's a gift from Dad to the two of you, do you like it?"

"Uh-huh, I like it so much."

Lele hugged the conch, and when she saw it for the first time, she couldn't put it down.

Coco puffed out her mouth and said coquettishly: "Dad, I want a conch too." ”

"This big conch is shared by the two of you, and it will be placed in the room in the future, go back and ask grandpa to make a wooden frame for you.

As for these two little conchs, the two of you happen to have one for each person, this is your own, and you can give it away to anyone you want. ”

Coco nodded hurriedly.

Lele glanced at his father, and finally gave the big conch to his sister to hug, and took the little conch and started to play.

Xu Dong smiled with satisfaction, the youngest daughter has grown up and finally started to be sensible.

"Alright, Daddy still has a gift."

Lele instantly became excited: "Dad, what kind of gift is it?" ”

"You'll find out later."

Carrying the suitcase, the father and daughter put on thick coats and went to the balcony.

It took more than ten minutes for the astronomical telescope to finally be assembled, Xu Dong adjusted it, and finally pointed the lens at the moon.

"This is an astronomical telescope to see the moon and stars, which of the two of you will come first?"

"I ......"

"Let my sister see it first!"

Lele couldn't wait to approach the eyepiece.

Since the Great Flare, the Earth's atmosphere has been weakened, and looking at the Moon with an astronomical telescope is even clearer.

"Dad, it turns out that the moon looks like this, it's not beautiful at all."

"The moon is meant to look like this, didn't your teacher teach you?" Xu Dong took the opportunity to explain.

"The teacher taught, but I didn't believe it at all."

"Do you believe it now?"

"I believe it." Lele nodded solemnly.

Next it was cocoa's turn.

Coco looked much more serious than his sister, and asked his father a lot of questions, Xu Dong answered them one by one, and if he didn't understand something, he immediately searched for the answer on the Internet.

All in all, it was a successful family practice activity.

……

Early the next morning, at about nine o'clock, Xu's mother was playing in the yard with her grandchildren, and the triplets grew faster and faster, and now they can run all over the yard.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Xu's mother hurriedly called her daughter-in-law and asked her to take the children into the house, while she herself put on a mask to open the door.

Speaking of which, I haven't been to my door for a long time.

There were three strangers standing outside the door, two men and one woman.

"Who are you?"

"Hello Auntie, we are from the Municipal Bureau of Statistics, this is our work ID, and we came here today to verify the population situation of your family." The female staff member introduced herself.

Mother Xu nodded and said, "This is the census, didn't you just do it two years ago?" ”

"Auntie, our census is required by the city, please cooperate."

"Alright! But now that the epidemic is severe, there are three little dolls at home, so I won't invite you in, can we register at the door? Xu's mother pleaded.

"Yes, Auntie." The female staff member replied with a smile that they had encountered many similar situations.

"Then I'll go back and get the household registration book, you wait for me."

Five minutes later, Xu Ma came out at a trot.

The female staff took the household registration book and said in surprise: "Auntie, your household registration is separate?" ”

"That's right, my family has a lot of three children, my wife and I came over to help take care of the children, and we have our own house on the East Fifth Ring Road."

Xu's mother explained that these words were taught by the third child, saying that she could cope with the property tax.

The female staff returned the household registration book of Xu's father and Xu's mother, which is not their jurisdiction.

Immediately afterwards, the other party opened the household registration book of Xu Dong's family and looked at it, and then said with a smile:

"No wonder, there are five children, and they really can't bring them."

"Alas, it's all a bunch of little debt collectors." Mother Xu said modestly.

The staff began to register the household registration information, and after the registration was completed, there was a questionnaire next.

"Excuse me, how many people in your son's family have formal jobs?"

"My son is alone, there are so many children in the family, how can his daughter-in-law leave." Xu Ma replied truthfully.

The female staff member nodded, "Is this house your son's property?" ”

"Yes."

"Are there any other properties?"

"No, this is it."

Speaking of which, Mama Xu is 100% sure that she will collect property tax next, and at the same time she can't help but be happy.

"Does your son's family have a borrower from out of state or from abroad?"

"Nope."

"Is your son's family having a hard time?"

"Uh, it's okay, my son works at Yanjing Electric Power Company, and the pay is not bad." I live in a courtyard house, and no one believes me when I tell nonsense.

"Is your son's family enough to eat, and has there ever been a case of hunger?"

Mother Xu continued to shake her head: "I can barely live, my son's family has many children, and the rations are preferential, so I can support them for the time being." ”

"Are your son's family satisfied with the current security environment?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied!" Mother Xu nodded again and again.

"Okay, the question is over, thank you for your cooperation!"

After sending off the census takers, Xu's mother immediately made a phone call to Yang Lina.

"Mom, what's going on outside?" Yang Lina said anxiously.

"It's okay, it's the city that came to do the census, you hurry up and take Dabao and the three of them to live on the second floor, and I'm going to quarantine for a day or two." Mother Xu immediately became cautious.

"What about eating?"

"I'll give it to you when I'm ready, and I'll delay it for a day or two, it doesn't matter, you take care of Dabao and them."

If she wasn't afraid that her daughter-in-law would be alone and couldn't take care of her three grandchildren, Mother Xu would have planned to go directly to Sanhe Home.

After explaining to her daughter-in-law, Xu's mother made another call to her third child and told her what had just happened.

Xu Dong immediately guessed the city's plan, not caring that there were two purposes, one was to take the opportunity to investigate illegal immigrants, and the other was to prepare for housing reform.

"Mom, don't worry, this has nothing to do with our family."

"I guess too, our family has two household registration books and two houses, so we shouldn't have to pay taxes." Mother Xu said happily.

Xu Dong said proudly: "Mom, I said it a long time ago, and it's right to listen to me." ”

"Well, Mom will listen to you in the future!"

Hanging up the phone, before Xu Dong put the phone in his pocket, he was suddenly called into the office by Section Chief Li.
