Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 278 Neighborhood Atmosphere
An uncle next to him couldn't stand it, "You women, you know how to talk behind your back. I think Xiaodong is good, capable, and polite!"

Some aunts asked in disbelief, "If you think Zhao Dong is good, why don't you marry your daughter to him?"

And the auntie teased boldly, "How can he be willing to marry his precious daughter to Zhao Dong? He thinks it's almost as good as marrying into the Zhao family by himself!"

A group of aunts laughed.

Uncle blushed, "Everyone is disrespectful, what nonsense!"

Some aunts teased, "Old Feng, it's not our sisters talking about you. Mother Zhao is from a high-ranking family. I really think that if you have a daughter who is studying abroad, they will be able to fall in love with you?"

Another aunt said mockingly: "What kind of high-ranking family is just spreading rumors. If Mother Zhao really has a background, can she still live with us?"

"Don't say that, I heard that Dad Zhao was still the leader in the army back then!"

"Leader? Come on, if the Zhao family really has a background, why can't Zhao Dong even arrange a job after he leaves the army?"

A group of aunts were talking about it, and there was nothing malicious about it, it was all just lip service and quick tongue.

It's not just aimed at Zhao Dong's family, the parents of Dong's family, and the short family of Xi's, they will talk about whoever's family has something to do.

But after all, if any company is in trouble, everyone should help and still have to help.

While talking, the voice of discussion suddenly weakened.

Mother Zhao walked out in a leisurely manner.

Seeing her looking around the street corner, Lao Feng walked up, "Why, Xiaodong is back now?"

Mother Zhao smiled, "Yeah, I said I'll be back soon, Lao Feng, anyway, you're home alone, so come over tonight and have dinner together, let Xiaodong have a drink with you!"

Lao Feng shook his head and said, "Forget about today. It's your family's day. I'll buy some food on another day."

Mother Zhao suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Yuanyuan will be back soon, right?"

Lao Feng was also happy, "Hurry up, the job has been signed, and I guess I will be back next month."

Mother Zhao sighed, "Time flies so fast, the two children grew up in a flash, and I haven't seen Yuanyuan for a few years, this girl must be more beautiful!"

"The Eighteenth Change of the Female University, I almost don't recognize her!"

"Look at what you said, how sad Yuanyuan would be if she heard it?"

"Hey, back then she said she would let Yuanyuan be your daughter-in-law. Now it seems that she has no chance!"

Mother Zhao also laughed, an old neighbor for decades.

When Zhao's father was alive, the two families had a very good relationship. Once at the wine table, they made baby kisses for the children of the two families.

Although Yuanyuan is older than Zhao Dong, she likes to follow Zhao Dong's ass since she was a child.

Back then when they played house, the two of them were a couple, kind of like childhood sweethearts.

Only later, Lao Feng divorced, and Yuanyuan settled abroad with her mother.

Since then, the two children have lost contact. After Zhao's father passed away, no one mentioned this matter again.

While talking, a car drove up from the corner of the street and slowly stopped at the gate of the old house.

The door opened, and Zhao Dong was the first to jump out of the car.

"Mom, what are you doing standing here?"

Turning his head, he smiled mischievously, "Uncle Feng, you are here too!"

Old Feng looked up and down, "You boy, you have been out of the army for such a long time, and you don't say come back to see, what's the matter, are you afraid that I will punish you?"

Zhao Dong chuckled, "Uncle Feng, look at what you said, isn't this busy!"

Uncle Feng used to be a policeman, an old criminal policeman who has been working for decades, and he has an aura of calmness and prestige.

Zhao Dong has been afraid of him since he was a child, especially when he did bad things. Seeing him is like a mouse seeing a cat.

In those few years, if Uncle Feng hadn't kept a close eye on him, he might have caused more troubles, and if he was not sure, he would have been sent to the juvenile detention center.

Of course, Zhao Dong was not only afraid of him, but also had an indispensable respect for him.

Old Feng never forgot to tell, "Okay, since you're back, work steadily, don't let your mother worry about it, she just came back from the hospital, don't cause trouble!"

Zhao Dong hurriedly agreed, "Uncle Feng, don't worry, I don't dare to cause trouble, lest you beat me up."

Old Feng patted him on the shoulder, "It's good that you know! All right, I'll talk to you someday. Is there a lot of things? I'll help you move them."

Uncle Feng said that he was about to start.

Zhao Dong hurriedly stopped him, "Uncle Feng, I don't need you, I don't have much."

While speaking, Xu San also got out of the car.

Zhao Dong introduced him.

Xu San hurriedly stepped forward, "Auntie, I'm a friend of Brother Dong. If you have any work at home in the future, just call me!"

After chatting briefly for a while, the two began to move things.

This side is busy, and a group of aunts over there have been talking about it for a long time.

"Hey, this guy Zhao Dong is well-developed, doesn't it mean that he has been working as a security guard outside for a few months, how can he go on a big run after returning home?"

A group of aunties didn't know much about cars, and when they saw the huge Mercedes-Benz logo on the commercial vehicle, their curiosity was ignited.

"Maybe I borrowed it, come back to show me!"

While talking, someone stepped forward and asked, "Xiaodong, did you move back?"

Zhao Dong answered politely.

"Stay at home for a while this time, your mother often talks about you to us."

While chatting, the aunt asked about something serious, "Xiaodong, whose car is this?"

Zhao Dong said honestly: "My friend's car has a lot of things to move, so I borrow it."

"Okay, then you are busy first, let's talk when we have time."

A group of aunts returned to their original place and started talking again.

Enough chatting, the topic turned to other places.

Zhao Dong didn't feel anything, and even liked this kind of atmosphere, down-to-earth, at ease, without so many intrigues.

There are not many things, and the two of them will finish their work soon.

Seeing that he and Xu San were about to leave, Mother Zhao asked, "Where are you going, child?"

Zhao Dong washed his face, then threw a clean towel to Xu San, "Mom, don't eat, I have to return the car later."

Mother Zhao complained, "Really, Xiao Xu has been busy all morning for you, why don't you eat?"

Xu San answered with a smile, "Auntie, don't worry, I will let Brother Dong treat me later, and I won't be polite to him!"

Mother Zhao nodded, "Yes, yes, don't be polite to him, let him treat you to a good meal!"

Knowing that Zhao Dong came back to live, although she didn't say anything, she was very happy in her heart.

She knew her son well, and she could tell from an early age that Zhao Dong was not a child who lived a peaceful life, let alone the kind of personality who could go to work steadily.

If you don't send him to the army for training, you will get into trouble sooner or later if you stay at home.

So even though he was desperate, he still made this decision.

On the day she sent Zhao Dong to enlist in the army, she had already handed over her son to the country, and even prepared for the worst.

Fortunately, my son came back alive and kicking.

His personality is more mature and stable than before, and it can be seen that he has also experienced a lot.

Zhao Dong followed up and teased, "Mom, you are such a cheater on your son, with such a little work, do I still have to treat him to a big meal?"

Just joking, Zhao's mother suddenly asked, "By the way, what time does Xiao Fei get off work today, and I'll ask your eldest brother and sister-in-law to come back early."

When Zhao Dong heard his mother mentioning this, his heart sank. How should he explain it?
