Courtyard: when the Group Did Not Marry, Now Regret

Jiang Ming put down the enamel jar, smiled and bent down to pick up his daughter, and took a sip on her little face.

"Little slob, did you just wake up?"

Dodo wrinkled her little nose and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Hey, Dodo sleepy..."

It is normal for a child to be lethargic, but Jiang Ming actually just wanted to tease his daughter.

"It's okay, Dad is teasing you."

Pinching her cute little nose, Duo Duo giggled, and then her big watery eyes turned around.

"Papa, have you ever eaten toffee?"

Jiang Ming was taken aback, nodded and said.

"Of course I did."

After answering, he realized that his daughter probably wants to eat candy.

So he wanted to tease her.

So, he deliberately pretended not to know, and didn't take her word for it.

Dodo is in a hurry now.

"Then, is that toffee delicious?"

Jiang Ming laughed.

"Not tasty, not tasty at all."

This answer made Duo Duo confused.

The little girl poked her mouth up, obviously a little unwilling, but she still didn't want it directly.

"But, I listen, I heard sister Erya say that toffee is delicious..."

This small appearance made Jiang Ming laugh too.

"Erya is lying to you, toffee doesn't taste good at all."

"Oh."

The little girl lowered her head, obviously a little downcast.

Seeing this appearance, Jiang Ming knew that the little girl must be very disappointed, so he simply stopped teasing her.

So he asked with a smile.

"Dodo, do you want to eat milk candy?"

Duoduo's eyes lit up, but she quickly waved her hand and said.

"No, no... I just heard from Elder Erya that the toffee is delicious... It's okay, Baba, Duo Duo won't eat it... "

The little girl is as sensible as ever.

Children naturally like snacks, sweets, and toys.

However, she never took the initiative to ask for it.

Like today, it is very rare to ask side-by-side questions. Obviously, she is also greedy, which is why she is like this.

Jiang Ming knew this in his heart, rubbed her little head and smiled.

"Dad doesn't go to work tomorrow, so can I take you out to play with my mother? I'll buy you toffee when the time comes."

The little girl suddenly beamed with joy, and nodded heavily.

"Well, papa is the best."

Chapter 23 Yan Laoxi's Abacus

"What did you say? Lao Yi is a eunuch?"

After learning the news in the factory, Liu Haizhong returned home non-stop after work at noon, and told the news to Second Aunt.

While Aunt II was surprised, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Liu Haizhong mocked while eating scrambled eggs.

"That's right, I said why Lao Yi has been unable to have a child. He used to say that Dongmei's body has a problem. After a long time of trouble, it's because of his own size."

Second Aunt rolled her eyes, leaned to his side and said.

"Tell me, if we spread the news to the alley, will Yi Zhonghai not have the face to continue being a master?"

Liu Haizhong grinned at the corner of his mouth, revealing a sinister smile.

"Haha, I have exactly this idea, otherwise it would be impossible to come back at noon. Remember, in the afternoon, you will go to the alley to chat with those old men and old ladies. It is estimated that soon, there will be a lot of people in the alley here. Got it, when the time comes, if I make trouble again, he probably won't have the face to sit in the position of the first uncle."

......

"This is what Xiao Jiang sent back? Such a big piece of pork?"

When Yan Laoxi returned home, he looked at the pork on the cutting board and said in surprise.

The third aunt hurriedly nodded and smiled aside.

"Yeah, I don't know where Xiao Jiang got the meat ticket. I bought such a large piece of pork, which was as good as the meat our family bought for the Chinese New Year last year. Then I passed by our house and cut some for us. Look at it. , and have a good relationship with him, this benefit is indispensable."

Yan Laoxi narrowed his eyes, then thought about it.

"Little Jiang, he is really promising. We were mistaken in the past. No matter where the meat ticket came from, there is no problem in the way. There are people above him."

"I actually wanted to beg him, look at our boss, the current job earns too little money, if Xiao Jiang can help to say a word to the factory leader, when the boss enters the factory, will his salary be higher than now? Much more?"

The third aunt was stunned for a moment, and soon said with a smile on her face.

"It's still as thoughtful as you think. Going to a rolling mill as an apprentice will earn you a higher salary than you do now."

Yan Laoxi nodded and said with a smile.

"At that time, let the boss pay half of the salary every month. After all, I found this job for him. In addition, the rent and water bills will have to be calculated separately."

His family likes to calculate.

For his thoughts, the third aunt took it for granted.

But, then again, why does Jiang Ming help them find jobs?

Their family is ungrateful to others.

"Old Yan, Jiang Ming is not stupid, can he agree to this?"

Yan Laoxi smiled mysteriously.

"You don't understand this, do you? Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Xiao Jiang and Lin Wan's family have no relatives, and they have no friends in this courtyard."

"We have made a good start now, and the rest is to build a good relationship."

"In this way, I will be in charge of Xiao Jiang, and you will be in charge of Lin Wan. If you have nothing to do, go to the backyard to help Lin Wan with the housework and take care of the children. After a long time, we don't have to go to some things by ourselves. carry."

The third aunt suddenly realized, and hurriedly agreed.

"Okay, anyway, I'm fine if I'm idle, so I'll run more in the backyard."

"You don't know, just now I saw Lin Wan carrying a piece of cloth back, and it was a whole piece of cloth."

"And I don't think it's linen or cotton. It should be medium-to-high-end cloth. If you say I'll help, it would be great if she gave me a part."

Yan Laoxi stared at him immediately.

"Stop it, stop it. If people take the initiative, you can take it. If they don't say it, you must never ask for it. Otherwise, they will think that we are deliberately trying to take advantage, and the relationship will be difficult."

Third Aunt curled her lips and said.

"That's all I'm saying. How can it be true? I have to have that face."

......

"Jiang Ming, let's use this cloth to make clothes for you. I looked at it and found that the cloth is very good and doesn't wrinkle easily. You can use it for work."

Earlier, the salesperson had already said that even their cloth line only had one piece of cloth, and it was very precious cloth.

Therefore, she was also a little reluctant to make a skirt for herself.

In her opinion, Jiang Ming is the head of the family, so he should use this cloth to make clothes for him.

However, Jiang Ming shook his head.

"I just need two shirts. The pattern of this cloth is not very suitable for me, but it is quite suitable for making skirts. You don't have to be reluctant. We will have such things in the future."

Hearing what he said, Lin Wan didn't say anything.

As Jiang Ming said, the pattern of this piece of cloth is actually not suitable for men's clothing.

But she was also thinking, trying to find a way to cut out some fabric, at least to make a coat for Jiang Ming.

The quality of the fabric is really good.

After lunch, Lin Wan cleaned up the dishes, while Jiang Ming played with Duo Duo for a while, and then got ready to go to work.

When I walked to the front yard, I happened to meet Yan Bugui who was going to work.

"Little Jiang, go to work again, thank you for the pork you sent at noon."

Jiang Ming nodded, hummed.

Yan Bugui was not annoyed, and continued to smile.

"It's fine for your third aunt to be idle at home. If Lin Wan has anything to do, I can ask your third aunt to help, and she can also help you take care of your children along the way."

This time Jiang Ming was stunned.

Although he knew that Yan Laoxi must be planning something.

However, in the end, people really have good intentions.

After thinking about it for a while, he opened his mouth and said.

"Sure, I'm going to get a few old hens in a few days. If the third aunt is free, she will help me watch and feed them. If the eggs are laid, I will share some of them with your family."
