If the person standing below is not Jiang Jingyu, then who else could it be?
Tang Wanhua excitedly grabbed Jiang Jingyu's arm and looked her up and down.
"Oh, after not seeing you for a few years, our Jingyu has grown into a graceful young lady!"
Ming Jingxian smiled and hugged Jiang Jingyu's back: "That's right, it's been nine years in a flash, and the little girl who used to run around the yard has grown up!"
"That's great, Jingyu. Fate has brought our two families together again. Come visit Aunt Tang's house as often as we did when we were little. Aunt Tang will make delicious food for you!"
They used to live in a courtyard house. Since her mother Ming Jingxian had no talent for cooking, Jiang Jingyu often went to Fang Siyan's house to eat.
Tang Wanhua was nostalgic by nature, and now when she saw Jiang Jingyu, she recalled the scenes in the courtyard in the past.
Jiang Jingyu nodded, looking happy. "Apart from my dad's cooking, my favorite is Aunt Tang's cooking. Now that I live in the same neighborhood with Aunt Tang, I'm in for a treat!"
Tang Wanhua tapped Jiang Jingyu's nose lovingly: "You, your mouth is still as sweet as when you were a child, you haven't changed at all!"
"Wanhua, have you been living here all these years? What about Si Yan? After so many years, I can't imagine what Si Yan has become like now!"
"We've lived here for three years. Si Yan should still be playing basketball at school at this hour. By the way, which school are you planning to send Jing Yu to?"
"Jingyu's father had a job transfer, and we had already found a school before we moved here. We just went to the school today to complete the enrollment procedures for Jingyu. It's at Silu No. 1 Middle School. Where does Siyan go to school?"
"Si Luo No. 1 Middle School?" Tang Wanhua exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my! That's great! Si Yan goes to Si Luo No. 1 Middle School!"
"That's great, Jingyu. Your brother Si Yan is in the same school as you. You can go to and from school together from now on. It's just perfect for you to have company on the way!"
Fang Siyan and Jiang Jingyu are the same age, but his birthday is three months older than Jiang Jingyu's. When they were young, Jiang Jingyu loved to chase after Fang Siyan and call him brother.
"Let's stop standing here and go back to identify the door!"
Tang Wanhua took Jiang Jingyu's arm and walked towards the unit door with Ming Jingxian.
Standing in front of the second-floor window, Si Yan watched the three people return to the apartment building before he looked away.
After learning that Jiang Jingyu lived in the same residential complex as him, Si Yan suddenly threw himself onto the bed and rolled several times!
Thinking of what Tang Wanhua had just said about bringing Jiang Jingyu to introduce herself to the family, Fang Siyan rubbed his hair and quickly found a clean piece of clothing from the closet to change into.
"We're here. Let's go in and sit for a while with Aunt Tang."
Tang Wanhua has liked Jiang Jinyu since she was a child and has always treated her as her own daughter. Now that they meet again after nine years, the two of them are extremely close.
"This is Aunt Tang's house. Now you know where it is. Remember to come often!"
After reaching the second floor, Tang Wanhua pointed to the door of her house and repeatedly asked Jiang Jingyu to come and visit often.
After learning that Tang Wanhua lived across the street from them, Jiang Jingyu and her mother Ming Jingxian looked at each other in surprise.
After exchanging a glance, Jiang Jingyu looked at Tang Wanhua beside her with a smile: "Aunt Tang, guess which floor we live in now?"
"Why are you still making Aunt Tang guess all sorts of things like you did when you were little?"
Tang Wanhua was looking for the key in her bag. After hearing Jiang Jingyu's words, she looked at her lovingly.
"Auntie Tang, just take a guess." Jiang Jingyu shook her arm: "Guess boldly."
Tang Wanhua couldn't stand Jiang Jingyu's coquettishness and didn't even bother looking for the key: "Then Aunt Tang, let me guess, could it be that he lives upstairs from Aunt Tang?"
Tang Wanhua knew that no one lived across the street, so she went upstairs, the closest building, to guess.
"You're wrong, Aunt Tang, this is my home!"
Jiang Jingyu said this and pointed across.
Tang Wanhua was pleasantly surprised. "Really? You, you really live across from Aunt Tang?"
"It's true. Or maybe we should just say our families are destined to be together. We just moved in yesterday and the house is a bit messy. I'll invite Wanhua to visit us after I've cleaned it up another day."
Ming Jingxian responded with a smile. After learning that Jiang Jingyu's family lived across the street from her house, Tang Wanhua laughed so hard that her eyes disappeared.
"Great, we're neighbors again. Come on, come over to my house and have a seat."
Tang Wanhua excitedly opened the door and found that Fang Siyan's slippers were gone.
"Si Yan came back so early today?"
Tang Wanhua muttered, then took out two new pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet.
"Come in and sit down. I'll wash some fruit for you."
Seeing that Tang Wanhua still wanted to wash the fruit, Ming Jingxian quickly said, "Wanhua, don't bother. We'll just sit for a while and leave."
"No trouble, no trouble, just sit down first, I'll be there in a moment."
Tang Wanhua walked towards the kitchen as she spoke. After passing Fang Siyan's room, she knocked on the door: "Siyan, Siyan, come out quickly and see who's here."
Fang Siyan, who had been listening to the noises in the living room, responded and ran to the mirror to take a look before leaving the bedroom.
"Your Aunt Tang is still as diligent as before. Look how clean the house is."
After changing their shoes, Ming Jingxian and Jiang Jingyu walked towards the living room together. At this moment, Fang Siyan's bedroom door opened.
The mother and daughter subconsciously looked towards the open bedroom door.
Fang Siyan had already changed into home clothes. His flaxen hair was not yet dry, and was casually and messily picked up, revealing his eyebrows and eyes that had been covered before.
Ming Jingxian didn't dare to recognize the big boy in front of her.
Jiang Jingyu also pretended to be surprised and looked at Fang Siyan. The three of them just looked at each other without anyone speaking.
Tang Wanhua, who was washing fruit in the kitchen, heard the sudden silence in the living room and walked out in confusion.
Then they saw the three of them staring at each other.
"Puff~" Tang Wanhua laughed when she saw this: "What are you all standing there for? Don't you dare to recognize me?"
"Si Yan, this is your Aunt Ming and your sister Yu'er!"
Tang Wanhua turned around and introduced the identities of Ming Jingxian and Jiang Jingyu to her son, and then looked at Ming Jingxian and Jiang Jingyu in the living room.
"Jingxian, Jingyu, this is Siyan. He's grown a lot in recent years and his appearance has changed a lot. Did you not recognize him at first?"
Ming Jingxian nodded in disbelief: "I really can't recognize you. You've grown so tall. Si Yan, do you still remember Aunt Ming?"
Fang Siyan nodded: "Remember."
Tang Wanhua was somewhat helpless: "This child has become less talkative after growing up. You guys sit down first, I'll be right there!"
"Jingyu, you talk to your brother Siyan first, I'll go to the kitchen to help!"
After Ming Jingxian finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the kitchen, leaving Jiang Jingyu and Fang Siyan looking at each other in the living room.
"Brother Si Yan, long time no see."
