Jiang Mengxue walked to the front yard and looked inside at the porch in the middle yard, then turned sideways and asked Aunt Zhang who was working on the side.
"Aunt Zhang, whose family is having a wedding in our courtyard?"
Aunt Zhang turned around and was a little surprised to see Jiang Mengxue coming back. She put down the clothes in her hands, rubbed her hands, and walked over with a smile.
"Xiao Jiang, you're back.
Who else could it be? The Cao family across the street from you. The third son of the Cao family was completely resistant to meeting his boss's daughter, but in the end, his mother had no choice but to agree to the guy he was dating outside. I heard he asked for a lot of money for the bride price, and the Cao family is in a big fuss over this matter.
Jiang Mengxue also knew about this. After all, she was at home when the Cao family quarreled about this.
Cao Feiyang had a fight with his sister-in-law about this before, so why is she willing to give him more betrothal gifts now?
But it is obvious that Aunt Zhang doesn't know much, otherwise she would have blurted out her baldness long ago.
After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, she noticed two strangers coming into the yard and looked at Li Cuiying and Gu Zhenjiang in confusion.
"Who are you looking for?"
Jiang Mengxue then remembered that her second uncle and second aunt were still following behind.
"Oh, by the way, this is my second uncle and second mother. They sent me back. Aunt Zhang, we're going back first."
Aunt Zhang thought that Jiang Mengxue's relatives were all from the countryside, but she didn't expect that there were relatives from the city, and it seemed that they were quite close. She watched them push the cart back to the central courtyard.
Jiang Mengxue returned to the middle courtyard and found that the courtyard was already busy. It seemed that the banquet was about to begin.
He Dazhong and his son-in-law Tang He stood in front of the stove, frying a big pot of food, and some women in the yard were helping.
The hot aroma from the pot floated up into the air, and many children from the surrounding yards were joining in the fun by the wall.
The chirping sounds could be heard in the yard.
As soon as Jiang Mengxue entered the yard, someone saw her.
"Doctor Xiao Jiang is back. Is he done with work? What a coincidence that he's back. There's a wedding happening in our hospital today."
"Yes, yes. I heard from the Cao family earlier that I don't know where Xiao Jiang is working now. Isn't it a coincidence that he came back this time?"
Jiang Mengxue greeted everyone with a smile.
This was the first time that Li Cuiying and Gu Zhenjiang came to Jiang Mengxue's residence. They were also looking around the environment and residents in the courtyard.
Ma Dajiao was also wondering who the two people following behind were. Could they be relatives of the Cao family?
Jiang Mengxue noticed that some people were wondering who Li Cuiying and Gu Zhenjiang were.
After all, in this era, you need a letter of introduction to go out, and the residents around you are basically old acquaintances, and there are basically very few strangers.
"Let me introduce this to you all. This is my second uncle and second aunt. They live in West City and they were worried about me being alone, so they sent me back."
Everyone suddenly realized that it was Xiao Jiang's relative.
"Hey, hello, hello. Thank you for taking good care of Xiaoxue. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. We are really troublesome for not being around."
"It's no trouble, no trouble. It's a great help to us that Dr. Xiao Jiang lives in our yard."
After all, there is a doctor living in the yard, which would make things much more convenient if anything happens.
There were many relatives coming and going in front of the Cao family's door, and several members of the Cao family were also entertaining guests in the house.
Cao Feiyang had not returned yet after taking people to pick up the bride. The Cao family originally wanted to borrow a bicycle, but Jiang Mengxue was the only one in the yard who had a bicycle.
But they didn't know where Jiang Mengxue had gone or when she would be back.
Jiang Mengxue took out the key and unlocked the door. Li Cuiying and the others also parked the car aside, planning to push it into the house later. They were having a wedding today, and they couldn't leave the car outside and get in the way.
Jiang Mengxue gave Li Cuiying a spare key to the house so that they wouldn't have to wait for her to come back and open the door if they came at any time.
As soon as she entered the house, Cuiying looked around. This was her first time here and she was curious about everything.
I didn’t expect that after the house was renovated, the whole space looked much bigger.
"Xiaoxue, after these two rooms are renovated, there should be several more rooms, right?" She pointed upstairs and said, "Are there any rooms above this staircase leading to the second floor?"
When I was outside just now, I saw that there were windows upstairs. Even though it’s not a high floor, it should be big enough for living.
"Yes, there are two small rooms downstairs, a living room, dining room, and a bathroom.
There are three more rooms and a living room upstairs, so the space is quite large, even a family of more than ten people can live here.”
Gu Zhenjiang just observed from outside the house and knew roughly how big the two rooms were. Now that the house was built into two floors, there was even more space.
"Uncle and Aunt, you guys look around. I'll go across the street and pay the gift money first."
When Jiang Mengxue and Gu Qingbei got married, there was a family in the yard who contributed one dollar and fifty cents, and the Cao family next door contributed one dollar, so this time Jiang Mengxue also planned to give one dollar in return.
The person who helps keep accounts at the door of the Cao family is Aunt Ma's eldest son Ma Qianjin. Although Jiang Mengxue has more contact with Aunt Ma, she is not very familiar with the people in her family, especially her two sons who are both at work and rarely see each other.
When Ma Qianjin saw Jiang Mengxue walking towards him, he knew what it was for and wrote Jiang Mengxue's name directly.
"Brother Ma, mine is one dollar." Jiang Mengxue took a look at his account book. Most of them were fifty cents and one dollar, some were three or five dollars, or other things as gifts.
"Doctor Xiao Jiang, are you going to leave again this time? Lihua asks you every day when you'll be back. She wants to ask if she can take the nursing exam."
"Nursing? Why is she willing to continue studying? Isn't she thinking about graduating from high school and finding a job?"
Ma Xiangqian was helpless: "Who knows what she's thinking? She changes her mind every day. But if she passes the nursing exam, she can get a job in the hospital. If that doesn't work out, she can work in the factory's medical department. After all, the government will provide her with a job, so she doesn't have to worry about finding a job."
Jiang Mengxue nodded, this was also a solution.
Although Ma Lihua is in high school now, she will have to take a factory exam if she wants to find a job after graduation. Many factories recruit workers internally, and even if they post notices recruiting workers outside, it is just a face-saving project.
Someone else came over to present a gift. Jiang Mengxue said hello and left, planning to wait for the bride to arrive before joining in the fun.
As a result, before I even reached the door of my house, I heard the excited shouts of adults and children outside.
"Here comes the bride, here comes the bride."
"Cao Lao San is back with his bride!"
When everyone heard the noise, they put down their work and stood up to look at the bride.
Jiang Mengxue tried to stand at the back of the crowd and avoid going to the front.
There was a bunch of children surrounding the newlyweds at the door asking for candy. It was so crowded that it took a while for them to get in.
