70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 545 Various Neighbors
"Aunt Chen, keep yours for the family to eat. I still have some more. Aunt Sun, this is the jujube cake I made myself. You can try it." Seeing that Aunt Chen had said so, Xie Xiaonian didn't mind. Persevere again, took out a jujube cake from the basket, handed it over and said.

"You made this, it looks really good." Sun Hong reached out to take the jujube cake Xie Xiaonian handed over and said.

At this moment, the expression on her face softened a little, with a hint of a smile on her face.

"I haven't gone to those houses on the east side yet, so I won't stay here any longer, I'll go there first." Seeing that the atmosphere was not as good as before, Xie Xiaonian was about to say goodbye and leave.

"The jujube cakes in your basket are for the neighbors. They won't come back for lunch these days. Give me the basket, and I'll help you distribute them to them at night."

After Sun Hong rolled his eyes a few times, he said as if I was tired and helped, and you don't need to thank me.

"Let Xiao Nian come over again at night. After all, she just moved here, so it's better to send her in person, and Xiao Nian also needs to know people." Aunt Chen was afraid that Xiao Nian would not know the situation, so she agreed to Sun Hong, and hurriedly Said.

What kind of person Sun Hong is, they have lived in the same yard for so many years, they are very clear, if this basket is given to her, there will be no return.

But even if Aunt Chen didn't speak, Xiao Nian would not give things to Sun Hong.

It was the first time for everyone to meet, and she didn't believe in Sun Hong's character.

It wasn't worth much, but without it, she wouldn't be able to get to know the other neighbors.

But for Aunt Chen's reminder, she was still very grateful, so she smiled at Aunt Chen.

"He hasn't spoken yet, so why don't you interrupt, you're the one who has a lot to do." Sun Hong continued dissatisfied.

"Ms. Chen is just making a suggestion. I have the final say on how to decide. However, the main purpose of my visit to the neighbors is to get to know the servants. I'd better come in person at night, so I won't bother Aunt Sun." Xie Xiaonian answered directly.

"If you don't want to forget it, it will save me a lot of trouble. When I get it, things will be lost and less will be blamed on me. The food at home hasn't been cooked yet, so I'm going back to cook." Sun Hong curled her lips. After finishing speaking, he took the jujube cake and went straight back to the backyard.

"She is like that all day long, you don't need to talk to her." After Sun Hong left, Aunt Chen said to Xie Xiaonian.

"It's okay, Aunt Chen, I'll go back first." Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

"Okay, then I won't keep you. Remember to come and play when you have time." Aunt Chen said kindly.

After coming out of the courtyard in the west, Xie Xiaonian went to the neighbor's house in the east.

"Who are you? Who are you looking for? Why haven't I seen you before?" Xie Xiaonian said defensively to a woman who was sitting at the door cracking sunflower seeds just as she arrived at the door with a basket.

"Hi, I'm Xibe'er's neighbor Xie Xiaonian who just moved in. We will all be neighbors in the future, please take care of me. I'm here to identify the family. This is my pastry. You can try it." Seeing her defensive face, Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

"Oh, you are a new neighbor. I am Cheng Ximei, the eldest daughter-in-law of Lao Tian's family in this yard. You can just call me Sister Meizi. Come and sit in the yard." Cheng Ximei took the jujube cake that Xie Xiaonian handed over, and said enthusiastically .

"Sister-in-law, who is this?" As soon as Xie Xiaonian followed Cheng Ximei into the yard, a woman who was playing with a child in the yard asked.

"She's a neighbor who just moved in next door, and she's here to visit. Xiao Nian, this is my second younger sibling, Chuntao. Chuntao, you can continue playing with the children, as long as Xiaonian is with me."

Cheng Ximei hid the jujube cake in her back, and after introducing to both parties, she was ready to lead Xie Xiaonian back to her room.

"Ma'am, what are you holding in your hand? I want to eat." The little boy who was playing in the yard ran forward in three steps at a time, and said greedily.

The other two children also stood there, staring straight at the things in Cheng Ximei's hands.

"Nothing, go and go, go back to the house and play." Cheng Ximei said in a hurry.

"Sister-in-law, he just wants to eat what you're holding. If you don't want to give it to him, forget it. Why chase him away? The yard is shared by everyone, not your own." said the calf.

"Why did I chase him away? I just let him go and play. There are guests here, and he is so greedy, so he is not afraid of being laughed at." Cheng Ximei said dissatisfied.

"Kids are ignorant, what's the joke? I didn't see you say that when your child was greedy!" Chuntao argued without giving in.

"My child is very sensible, and he won't be like Huzi who can't wink!" Cheng Ximei said with a curled lip.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Xie Xiaonian quickly said, "I still have some, Sister Chuntao, you can share this among the children."

"Oh, thank you so much. The child is ignorant, so I made you laugh. If I had known that you brought this thing, I would have asked you for it directly. It would also save the child from being so greedy and unable to eat it, and causing my sister-in-law and I to quarrel. It's gone." Chuntao complained with a smile.

And what she meant was as if she was blaming Xie Xiaonian for not taking out the things earlier.

For such a person, Xie Xiaonian had seen a lot, and knew that such a person had no reason to speak, so she stopped talking and ignored her.

"Mom, didn't you see that the neighbors are all coming to the door? What are you doing there for dinner? Don't rush to say hello."

Seeing that Xie Xiaonian didn't answer her words, Chuntao felt a little embarrassed, so she took her anger out on an old woman who was cooking under the eaves.

Although Chuntao called her mother in her mouth, her attitude did not look like a child.

"My mother is more honest and dull, don't take offense." After Chuntao finished speaking, she turned her head and said to Xie Xiaonian with a smile.

"How come, hello ma'am, I have a new neighbor next door." Xie Xiaonian greeted with a smile.

"Hello, hello, I'm cooking right now, I'm occupying my hands, and I smell of oily smoke, so I won't go there."

The old woman nodded to Xie Xiaonian, and after finishing speaking with a smirk, she turned her head and started to work again.

And the other woman who was helping with the cooking just glanced over here, didn't even dare to say a word, so she lowered her head and continued to work.

The timid look was exactly the same as that of the old woman.

And if Xie Xiaonian is not mistaken, there are still several scars on the corners of this woman's eyes and neck, which are bruised and purple, which is very scary to look at.

"Old and immortal, the more you live, the more stupid you become."

Chun Tao asked her mother-in-law to come over mainly because she wanted her to ask Xie Xiaonian for a piece of jujube cake so that she could share it with her children, so she just greeted her and cursed angrily without even approaching her.

Seeing such a situation, Xie Xiaonian felt that this family should have a lot of housework, so she didn't want to stay, and said to Cheng Ximei with a smile: "I see there is another family at the door, I'll go over and talk, and come back when I'm free." Looking for you to play."

"There's only a little girl and a baby at the house at the door. If there's anything to get to know, let's go, let's go to my room and chat." Cheng Ximei said reluctantly.

"No, I have to go back and cook. I'll come back when I'm free." Xie Xiaonian insisted.

"Then I won't keep you. You must come when you are free."

And the house at the door, just as Cheng Ximei said, only had a 13-year-old girl at home with her two-year-old nephew. Her parents, elder brother and sister-in-law had all gone to work.

Xie Xiaonian didn't stay any longer, and left after giving a piece of jujube cake. After all, she and a child had nothing to say.

"Xiao Nian, why did you come back so soon? Do you know the neighbors on both sides?" Luo Changsong asked suspiciously as soon as Xie Xiaonian arrived home.

"I've only seen 3 or 4 of them, but most of them haven't seen them yet. I have to go there again at night." Xie Xiaonian put down the basket and explained.

"What? Aren't they at home?"

"Well, most of the families here are dual-employees. The children eat at school, and the adults eat at the work cafeteria. They hardly come back to cook, so I haven't seen each other." Xie Xiaonian replied truthfully.

"We still don't understand the situation. Otherwise, we can just go there at night, and it will save you two trips." Luo Changsong said regretfully.

"It's okay, we're all next to each other anyway, so it's just a matter of running a few steps." Xie Xiaonian said with a smile when Luo Changsong felt sorry for him.

"Then how do you feel about the people you met? Are they easy to get along with?" Luo Changsong inquired.

"It's okay. Anyway, it seems that there are some people who are easy to get along with, and there are also people who are not easy to get along with. However, I have only met them once, so I don't know much about them, and it's hard to make a judgment. I will know when I get familiar with them later."

"Well, if they say something unpleasant, or show you bad looks, you don't have to bear it, anyway, we don't live in the same courtyard, so don't be afraid of their bullying." Luo Changsong was afraid that Xie Xiaonian would be tolerant, so he specifically instructed.

"I know, Dad, don't worry, wanting to be a good neighbor is not something I can do wishful thinking, I don't force it." Xie Xiaonian continued warmly in his heart.

"Dad, you don't know how many people live in the courtyards on both sides. The one on the west side of our house lived in the two yards. There were only 10 families living in it. The places to eat are all built by ourselves under the eaves outside. Fortunately, our house is big enough so we don't have to squeeze in with others." Xie Xiaonian said happily thinking of the crowded situation.

"According to what you said, the family can't be divided into two rooms. Is there still space in the room?" Luo Changsong asked with a frown.

"Isn't it? I don't know how they live. From this point of view, this city is not as good as our countryside. At least in the countryside, the yard is big, the house is spacious, and there are local vegetables." Xie Xiaonian sighed Said.

At this time, no matter which family, there will be a lot of children. If the elderly are added, it is really impossible to imagine how the family will live.
