Jiang Yuzhu looked at the gentle woman in front of her and couldn't help but smile.
"It's okay. This child is very cute. He praised me as soon as we met. I took the initiative to give it to him. I just made some egg cake at home. Please try it."
"If you don't mind... come in and sit for a while?" It was rare for Jiang Yuzhu to meet someone she liked, and both the mother and son were quite likable.
People say that sons look like their mothers. The little one inherited his mother's facial features and is delicate and beautiful.
Jiang Yuzhu couldn't help but wonder if her son would be like this when he grew up, or would he be more like Xu Lei.
"Will it disturb you?"
"No, come in." Jiang Yuzhu invited the mother and son into the yard.
"Yuzhu, what is this?" Mother Jiang came out holding her grandson and was very confused when she saw the strange mother and son.
"Mom, these are our neighbors next door. I invited them in to sit with me. We should visit each other more often in the future. After all, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor."
Jiang Yuzhu thought the little boy was very cute, and it would be a good opportunity for her son to have a playmate when he was older.
Otherwise my son would be too lonely.
She thought the mother and son had good personalities.
"Yes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. We should take care of each other." Cui Jiayi nodded with a smile.
She heard from her parents that no one had lived in this yard in the past few years, but someone cleaned it regularly.
I didn't expect that I would move in so soon after I started packing up the house recently.
"Hello, Auntie. We are neighbors next door. My last name is Cui Jiayi, and I am 28 years old. This is my son, Xiao Shitou, whose full name is Cui Moxuan. He is five years old this year."
When Jiang's mother heard that the girl wanted her son to take her surname, she knew there must be a reason behind it.
He was very tactful and didn't ask any more questions.
"Hello, welcome, please come in and sit down, I'll get you some water." If there are children, give them some sweet water to drink.
"Thank you, Auntie."
"Thank you, grandma." Little Stone also followed his mother in thanking her.
"You're welcome!" Mother Jiang touched Little Stone's head.
Little Stone followed his mother obediently.
"Sister Jiayi, Xiao Shitou, please take a seat. I've just arrived in Beijing and haven't made any friends yet. Meeting you is fate. We can visit more often in the future."
Jiang Yuzhu looked at Cui Jiayi, and at first glance she recognized her as the kind of woman who was cultured, elegant, and spoke softly.
Looking at the little stone beside her, she knew she had heard what she said. The child took the mother's surname, and she couldn't ask about such things. There must be a reason.
"That's great. I... I don't have many friends. I just returned to my parents' home this year. I usually don't leave the house. I just stay at home making clothes and taking care of the kids. I'll have company from now on."
Cui Jiayi was amazed at the first sight of Jiang Yuzhu. He thought that this girl was so beautiful, bright and elegant, and immediately had a good impression of Jiang Yuzhu.
"You can also make clothes?"
"Then you must be very skillful. I don't know how to make clothes, so I buy clothes for my children. Did you make the clothes on Xiao Shitou?" Jiang Yuzhu was surprised to see what Xiao Shitou was wearing.
Navy blue cotton pants, a white shirt and a red round-neck sweater. It's obvious that this mother puts a lot of effort into dressing her son up.
She thought they were all bought, but she didn't expect that they were made by herself.
Cui Jiayi was embarrassed by Jiang Yuzhu's praise. "I just tinkered with it at home. I have nothing to do anyway. Making it myself is always better than buying it outside."
"If you have anything you want to do, you can come to me and I will try to see if I can make it for you." Cui Jiayi is usually bored at home and likes to make clothes to pass the time.
The Cui family has a larger population, unlike Jiang Yuzhu's courtyard, where only she lives with her children, Jiang's mother, and four hired people.
Seeing that the four of them were taking good care of Yuzhu, Old Mrs. Su and Old Mr. Su went back to the compound and would come back when they missed their child in a few days.
Originally, the old man and the old lady didn't want to live with their granddaughter for a long time, but a short stay for a few days would be fine.
I said this at the time to allay my granddaughter's concerns.
The Cui family is different. In addition to Cui's father and Cui's mother, there is also Cui's eldest brother's family and Cui's second brother's family.
The yard was particularly lively.
Fortunately, the Cui family only has this one daughter, and her two brothers have deep feelings for their sister. Knowing that her sister was bullied in her husband's family, they took her and her nephew in.
There is nothing we can do even if our two sisters-in-law have objections.
When Cui Jiayi is at home, she usually stays in her room and doesn't go out to cause trouble for her two sisters-in-law.
Now I finally met a friend I can talk to.
"Jiayi, you and Xiao Shitou should have some honey water. Here's some food that was just made in the kitchen. You can try it too."
Mother Jiang brought a lot of food and drinks to entertain Cui Jiayi and Xiao Shitou.
"No need, Auntie, this..." Cui Jiayi felt embarrassed in the face of such an enthusiastic mother Jiang.
They ate and drank. Food is expensive these days. Someone even gave them egg cake as a gift.
"By the way, this is the mung bean cake my mother asked me to bring."
Cui Jiayi handed the things that Cui's mother asked her to bring to Jiang Yuzhu.
If someone gives you an egg cake, you have to give something in return.
"Thanks."
Jiang Yuzhu took it.
"Is this my little brother?" Little Stone was very excited when he saw Liuliu in Jiang Mu's arms.
Although he has older brothers and sisters at home, he can't play with them.
Little Stone really wants a little brother who can play with him.
"Yes, it's a little brother. When he grows up, he can play with you." Mother Jiang also hopes that her grandson will have a playmate.
It just so happens that the two families are neighbors and live so close to each other.
The girl seems to be a nice person. It would be nice if she could become good friends with my daughter.
"This is my son Xu Yifei, nicknamed Liuliu, and he is six months old now." Jiang Yuzhu took her son from Jiang's mother and teased him.
"Xiao Liuliu, I'm Brother Xiao Shitou."
Cui Jiayi was even happier now, as she and her son would have a place to go in the future.
"By the way, Sister Jiayi, do you know which mall around here has a better selection of goods?"
"I want to buy some things for my brother and send them to him."
"I know. I'll take you there. I haven't been out for a walk for a long time." Cui Jiayi has no one to talk to, so she rarely goes out shopping.
"Okay." The two hit it off and agreed to go out for a walk.
