Courtyard: when the Group Did Not Marry, Now Regret

"It's easy to say! I live so close, it's hard to see you, but I'm far away, can you still make a special trip to see me?"

"Look at what you said, am I that kind of person?"

Meng Jiao stopped joking with him, "Okay, come and see me when you have time."

Jiang Ming nodded, then turned and left.

Meng Jiao looked at his back, and swallowed the words again.

……

The old house is downstairs.

Both sides of the street are lined with trees, and there are many uncles and aunts enjoying the shade under the shade.

They are all neighbors in the neighborhood, and Mother Jiang is among them.

She mentioned that casually last time, within two days, the neighbors on the whole street knew that the youngest son of Lao Jiang's family had returned, and brought his girlfriend back with him.

Hearing that Jiang Ming was coming back, a group of uncles and aunts also talked about it.

This kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp. When he was a child, he was a well-known kid king on the street, with a group of followers behind him.

Mischievous all day long, either climbing trees to dig out bird nests, or going down rivers to catch loaches, causing troubles a lot.

If you can break the glass of this house today, you can glue the keyhole of that house tomorrow.

However, Mother Jiang's baby is so tight that she is never willing to touch it.

If other people's children get into trouble, the family can be beaten to pieces, Jiang Ming is completely fine.

Even if some catastrophe happened, the boss of the Jiang family would still be responsible, so it wouldn't hurt this kid at all.

When he was in high school, he also hung out with the street punks for a while.

Playing truant from school, smoking online, fighting billiards, so to speak, except for puppy love, he basically tried all the rebellious things that age can do.

Neighbors in the neighborhood have reminded Jiang's mother more than once that if she doesn't strictly discipline her, she will be careful that Jiang Ming will go astray.

But Mother Jiang never took it to heart.

Until graduating from high school, other parents would rely on connections, ask for help, and send their children to college, no matter how bad they are, they would go to a pheasant college, or go to a college to learn a craft.

Jiang's mother insisted on sending Jiang Ming to the army, and she left for five years.

Among the neighbors, some people said that Mother Jiang was cruel, and some said that Mother Jiang was partial, but she never took it to heart.

The Army is like a melting pot that completely changes a person.

So much so that Jiang Ming went home occasionally, and every time it was an earth-shaking change.

A neighbor asked, "Mother Jiang, is your little son coming back today?"

Mother Jiang was in a good mood, "Yes."

The man sighed, "Now you can enjoy the blessings, the boss has a stable job, and now the second child has brought back his daughter-in-law, so you don't have to worry about it in the future."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, isn't your son also very good?"

"What's so good, I'm busy working overtime all day, I don't see you a few times a month, and I don't have a date yet!"

Jiang's mother said modestly, "Our family has no horoscope, and we are still talking about friends. I don't know if we can succeed."

He does not mean that.

Someone made a fuss and said, "Hey, Mama Jiang, then you have to be more careful. I heard that our area is going to be relocated. This girl...isn't it for the house?"

Someone echoed, "Maybe, by the way, where is that girl from? She's not from Tianzhou, is she?"

Immediately, someone responded, "It's definitely not from Tianzhou. If it's our local girl, how could it be possible to live here without getting married?"

The pace of life in the old city is slow, and the old people have nothing to do in their free time, except to post about their children's work and income, and then post about their children's marriage.

When Jiang Ming was in the army, his military uniform was particularly eye-catching, and it added luster to Mother Jiang's face.

Now that Jiang Ming has retired from the army, some people naturally want to ridicule him.

Mother Jiang didn't care at all, and she didn't like to show off, "Okay, let's talk, I'll go back and clean up, and I'll be back in a while."

When she walked away, a group of aunts got together and talked a lot.

"See, it's a guilty conscience!"

"I guess I found a daughter-in-law from out of town. I was embarrassed to open my mouth, so I said that the two are still talking about friends."

"It must be. I heard that Jiang Ming retired from the army early. After graduation, he was not even assigned a job. Now he is working as a security guard for a rich man's community!"

"What are you talking about, be a security guard! That's right, under such conditions, which local girl can fall in love with him?"

"That's right, if you don't take the house as a condition, it may be difficult to find a partner."

"Jiang Ming, this kid, since I was a child, I don't think he looks like that piece of material. Look, he's been eating at home. Fortunately, I didn't introduce my daughter to him back then!"

When Jiang Ming was in the army, many aunties on the street wanted to introduce their daughters to him.

Without exception, all of them were rejected by him.

At that time, I was young and energetic, but now that the feng shui is changing, a group of aunts will naturally make trouble, so we should find the balance in our hearts.

Chapter 154 is back

There was an uncle next to him who couldn't stand it, "You women, you know how to gossip behind your back. I think Xiao Ming is good, capable, and polite!"

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

And the auntie teased boldly, "How could he be willing to marry his precious daughter to Jiang Ming? He thinks it's almost as good as marrying into Jiang's family!"

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 Jiang is from a high-ranking family. I really think that you have a daughter who is studying abroad, so they can fall in love with you?"

Another aunt taunted: "What kind of high-ranking family, it's just spreading rumors. If Mother Jiang really has a background, can she still live with us?"

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

"Leadership? Come on, if the Jiang family really has a background, why can't Jiang Ming even arrange a job after retiring from 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 about Jiang Ming's family, Ming's parents, and Xi's family, 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.

Mama Jiang strolled out of the courtyard.

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

Mother Jiang smiled, "Yeah, I said I'll be back soon, Lao Feng, anyway, you're at home alone, so come over tonight and have dinner together, let Xiao Ming 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 Jiang 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 Jiang 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 Jiang also laughed, an old neighbor for decades.

When Papa Jiang 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 Jiang Ming, she likes to follow Jiang Ming'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 Father Jiang 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 Jiang Ming jumped out of the car first.

"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?"

Jiang Ming 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.

Jiang Ming has been afraid of him since he was a child, especially when he did bad things. Seeing him is like a mouse meeting 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, Jiang Ming is not only afraid of him, but also has 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!"

Jiang Ming 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 Mingxi? I'll help you move it together."

Uncle Feng said that he was about to start.

Jiang Ming stopped him hastily, "Uncle Feng, I don't need you, I don't have much Mingxi."

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

Jiang Ming introduced him.

Xu San hurried forward, "Auntie, I'm Brother Ming's friend, if you have any work at home in the future, just call me!"
