Because the three rooms of the main house were cleaned during the day today, a few children had to sleep with the adults.

"Apples, pancakes, you two will sleep with your grandfather tonight, and the three of you will sleep with me, okay?" Before going to bed, Xie Xiaonian asked the children.

"Mom, I want to sleep with you, let's still sleep in the same bed as we did at home, can't we?" Pancake said reluctantly.

"The kang at home is relatively large, and it can sleep a few of our mother and son, but the bed here is too small to sleep so many people, you can sleep with your grandfather today, and wait for tomorrow, your mother will put a bed in the house, and you two will sleep with your mother, okay?" Xie Xiaonian discussed with the pancakes.

"You stinky boy, you're so old and still clinging to your mother, don't be ashamed to panic, you will sleep with me today!" Luo Changsong rubbed the head of the pancake and said funny.

"Okay then." Pancake drooped his head and reluctantly compromised.

On the morning of the second day, when I had breakfast, Xie Xiaonian asked Luo Changsong: "Dad, I want to go to the two houses next to me at noon to get to know each other, what do you think I should take?" ”

"Take whatever you want, don't take anything, just say something there." Luo Changsong said indifferently.

"It's better to hold something, after all, on the first day of our visit, eating people's mouths is short, and they will be more friendly to us if they take our things." Xie Xiaonian smiled and continued.

"Don't you know how to make pastries? Then when you have nothing to do in the morning, just make some casually, and just take it when the time comes, the pastry is expensive, even if the family has a piece, you can get it. After Luo Changsong listened to Xie Xiaonian's words, he made up his mind for her.

"I think it's okay, it doesn't cost money to make it myself, and it won't be embarrassing to take it out, but what should I do?" Xie Xiaonian said with difficulty.

I didn't plan it yesterday, but if I made it fresh today, I won't be able to make some pastries.

"Mom, let's make red date cake and mung bean cake, I want to eat it." As soon as Tang Yuan heard that there was something to eat, he immediately said greedily.

"To make mung bean cake, you need to soak mung beans in advance, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for a while, my mother will make red date cake for you, and I'll make mung bean cake when I'm free later." Xie Xiaonian nodded and said.

"Red date cake is fine, when you came, didn't your sister-in-law bring you a small half bag of red dates, just enough to use, and you don't need to buy it." Luo Changsong nodded and said.

"Dad, do you know who lives on both sides, I want to know in advance." Xie Xiaonian continued to ask.

"I haven't lived here for years, the neighbors around me must have changed, and you're carrying things to the door, and they can't do anything to you, so you can just act when the time comes. I heard that the houses here in the capital are very tight, and there will be a lot of people living in a courtyard, so you should prepare as many jujube cakes as possible, and the province will not be enough at that time. Luo Changsong instructed.

"Okay, then it's time to see the opportunity to act, anyway, even if you inquire, I haven't seen the real person, and I don't know the situation." Xie Xiaonian nodded and said.

"Grandpa, is there still a bed at home? Let's move to my mother's room, I'm going to sleep with my mother tonight. Seeing that his mother and grandfather had finished talking about business, Pancake immediately interjected.

"Why, you don't want to sleep in the same room with me? I'm telling you, even if you don't say it, I'm going to make you a bed and let you go with your mother, you don't know, when you go to bed in the middle of the night, you kick the quilt so badly, I haven't slept well all night, and I've covered you with a quilt. Luo Changsong said childishly.

"I didn't kick the quilt, and my mother didn't say I kicked the quilt." Pancake blushed and said without admitting it.

"It's okay, you can sleep in a room with me tonight, I'm not afraid of you kicking the quilt." Xie Xiaonian smiled and continued.

What Xie Xiaonian didn't say was that they all slept in the space at night, even if the pancakes kicked the quilt, they couldn't freeze, and she didn't have to worry much at all.

"I was joking with the pancakes just now, let's let the two of them sleep with me, otherwise how can you take care of so many children yourself, this place is not like your hometown, there is a kang burning in the house, it is relatively warm, what if it freezes?" Luo Changsong said disapprovingly.

"It's okay, Dad, I often wake up at night anyway, put the bed of the two of them next to me, and when I cover the quilt for the rice balls, just cover them with the apples, so as not to delay my sleep." You're so old, it's a sin to catch you a cold. And I've been taking care of several kids for so long, it's no problem at all. Xie Xiaonian refused.

"Okay, you try it first, and if you really can't take care of it, let them follow me." Luo Changsong nodded and said.

Although he has the heart to take care of pancakes and apples, he is not young after all, and he is not very good at taking care of children, and it is not good for children to follow him, and it is not good if they are cold and sick.

"How? Satisfied, right? Luo Changsong looked at the pancakes and Heping happily grinned and said funny.

"Well, satisfied, grandpa, let's hurry up and move the bed." Pancake put down the dishes and chopsticks and said anxiously, for fear that his mother and grandfather would regret it.

"There is a bed in the east wing, let's eat with peace of mind first, and it's not too late to move the bed out and clean it after eating, I promise not to delay your lunch break with your mother at noon." Seeing that the pancakes were in such a hurry, Luo Changsong said out loud.

"That is, you give me a good meal, drink the porridge in the bowl, and don't allow leftovers." Xie Xiaonian said sternly.

After eating, Xie Xiaonian and Luo Changsong moved the bed in the east wing room out with Luo Changsong, handed it over to his father and a few children to clean up, and then went to the kitchen to make jujube cakes.

I don't know how many families live in the courtyard on the left and right, so Xie Xiaonian did what her father said, and made as many as she could, and the rest could be left for the family to eat.

When cooking at noon, Xie Xiaonian thought that the people on both sides should come back to cook, so he carried a small basket and went to the west courtyard first.

"Is anyone home?"

Although the door was not locked, out of politeness, Xie Xiaonian did not enter directly, but only stopped at the gate and shouted.

"Who? Come in, the door isn't closed, I'm stir-frying. As soon as Xie Xiaonian's words fell, he heard an elderly female voice coming from inside.

"Hello auntie, I'm a neighbor who just moved over next to me, and I'm here to recognize you." Xie Xiaonian walked into the courtyard and said with a smile.

"I said that I seemed to hear a voice next to me yesterday, it turned out that there were really people living next to me, and no one lived next to me for so many years, I thought I heard it wrong." The woman hurriedly put down the spatula in her hand and said to Xie Xiaonian with a smile.

"Your ears are so good, we just came here yesterday, and I made some jujube cake this morning, and I thought I would bring it over to the neighbors to taste."

Xie Xiaonian said as he opened the small basket in his hand, pinched a piece of jujube cake with the oil paper that had been placed in advance and handed it over.

"Oh, I can't ask for such a good thing, you take it back! In the future, we will be neighbors, you don't have to be so polite, my husband's surname is Chen, you can just call me Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen hurriedly refused.

"It's all done by myself, it doesn't cost anything, you can just go ahead and try my craft." After Xie Xiaonian stuffed the jujube cake into her hand, he said with a smile.

"Then, then I'll take it, your craftsmanship is really good, I can smell the sweetness through the oiled paper. You just came, there must be nothing, I pickled a little pickle, I'll bring you a bowl, if you need anything in the future, just come to me. Aunt Chen said happily.

"No need, Aunt Chen, there are pickles I brought from my hometown, enough to eat for a while, and when there are no more, I will take them with you." Xie Xiaonian refused with a smile.

"Okay, then when you're done, don't be polite, I don't have any other skills, the craftsmanship of pickles is a must, and the neighbors don't boast about it." Aunt Chen said boastfully.

"Well, I'll be sure to come and try your hand at that time. By the way, Aunt Chen, is your family living in this courtyard? Xie Xiaonian asked after looking around.

"No, there are a total of 10 families living in the yard before and after, but most of them are dual-income workers and don't come back to eat at noon, so my family, as well as the family with the elderly inside, will cook by themselves at noon every day." Aunt Chen continued.

Before Aunt Chen finished speaking, Xie Xiaonian saw a head poking out from the arch in the middle of the courtyard.

This woman looked a few years younger than Aunt Chen, but with a pair of hanging triangular eyes, she was looking Xie Xiaonian up and down, as if she was looking at the goods, and the people who looked at it were very uncomfortable.

"Hello, I'm the next-door neighbor, I just came over, my name is Xie Xiaonian." Xie Xiaonian said as he introduced himself.

After Xie Xiaonian finished introducing him, this person did not answer directly, but walked outside the arch and continued to look at Xie Xiaonian.

"That's what I just told you, the one who lives inside, her name is Sun Hong, you just call her Aunt Sun." Aunt Chen saw that Xie Xiaonian was a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly introduced.

Xie Xiaonian saw that Sun Hong didn't want to take care of herself much, and she didn't find herself bored, so she smiled and nodded, and didn't speak again.

Although it was the first time the two met, Xie Xiaonian didn't think that she would be very enthusiastic about herself, but Xie Xiaonian was still very angry about embarrassing her like this, so she had no intention of giving her jujube cake.

"This girl is not only beautiful, but also has good craftsmanship, you see the jujube cake she just gave me, it smells very delicious, Sun Hong, come and taste it."

Seeing Sun Hong's eyes, Aunt Chen kept staring at the jujube cake she put on the case, Xie Xiaonian didn't mean to take it out again, so she hurriedly picked up the jujube cake and said to her.

And when she said this, she was also indirectly reminding Xie Xiaonian and asking Xie Xiaonian to give Sun Hong a piece of jujube cake.

After all, jujube cake is not a particularly precious thing, if it is only for himself, but not for Sun Hong, I don't know what Sun Hong wants to say about Xie Xiaonian?
