Although birth, old age, illness and death are natural for human beings, it still makes people feel uncomfortable to watch their loved ones grow old day by day.

This change is not only physical, but also mental.

When old friends around you die every now and then, when there are fewer and fewer people you know well, when your body is getting worse day by day, when your energy is getting worse day by day, when you fall asleep at night, you don’t know if you will be able to wake up in the morning.

This feeling was very bad, but not even Jiang Xiaobai could do anything about it.

His father, Jiang Tieshan, was unwilling to let his father change his life in a different environment. Fallen leaves have returned to their roots. Many people work in other places for their whole lives and want to return to their hometown when they get old. What's more, Jiang Tieshan has been in Longcheng his whole life.

This small courtyard holds so many memories, how could he want to leave it?

So if I don’t leave, it’s this kind of environment, and friends around me and the like start to leave slowly.

"Uncle Liu, you couldn't get out of bed some time ago. He was said to be paralyzed. He couldn't get out of bed. I still remember when we were in the workshop, your Uncle Liu's body was the best, young man.

, I always take cold showers in winter..."

"I remember when you were young, you once went to the factory to play and took out the scraps from the factory to exchange for ice cream..."

"I don't know if you still remember Aunt Zhang in the factory. Her family was rich. She liked you very much when she was a child. She didn't have a son at home, and she wanted to have you as her son. A few days ago, we

We met once on the street, and my legs and feet felt bad..."

"Our workshop worker, Liu Dazhu, came to my house to drink with me. You were still young, and you drank boiled water with others. In the end, you peed your pants after drinking too much water, and they vomited after drinking too much. Liu Dazhu is famous for drinking too much water.

As a result, I fell into trouble with you, a little brat, and I will never brag again..."

Jiang Tieshan said nonchalantly, when people start to recall the past and like to recall things when they were young more and more, it means they are really old, and when the people they recall are almost gone, then...

Jiang Xiaobai responded indifferently, mainly listening to his father talking about these things. He is already in his thirties this year, and he is basically the youngest in the family. As for his eldest brother, he is already in his forties this year, and the family

The eldest is the eldest sister, who is almost over fifty.

This father is over seventy this year, and of course his friends are starting to leave.

Looking at his father's gray temples, his eyes would only show a glint when he mentioned things from his youth, but when the current situation of the person involved was mentioned, the look in his eyes would quickly become lonely.

Jiang Xiaobai felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but think of a later movie, The Barber, and sighed in his heart.

When his father was tired and stopped nagging, he picked him up in the car, gave the nanny a day off, and the family returned to the family home in Longcheng.

In the evening, there was still a big family gathering, and Jiang Tieshan felt much more energetic when he saw the whole family.

Jiang Xiaobai was also chatting with his eldest brother and others.???.

The profits of Sanjin Hotel and Supermarket are both good this year. It is estimated that the company will be able to make around 800,000 yuan this year.

With 800,000 yuan a year, it can be said that you are financially free at this time, because the housing prices this year are not high and the prices are not too expensive either.

With 800,000 yuan a year, in a place like Longcheng, it doesn't matter if you just buy a house. There won't be any pressure even in future generations.

Without money worries, everyone is in a very good mental state.

"I see some parts of the house have been repaired. Who did it?" Jiang Xiaobai asked casually.

Jiang Zijun pursed his lips at Jiang Zijian: "The second brother did it to make the old man's stay more comfortable, and it is also the memory of our family, so it must be preserved."

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, without any words of thanks. After all, the second brother is also a son, so he should do something, not to mention that several people in the family are not short of money.

"Actually, the people in the alley who help my family the most are the neighbors. When it's New Year's Eve, I want to send something to those neighbors. It doesn't have to be much, but it's meaningful. If you are fine by then, we can all go there together.

"Jiang Zijun said.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded. Human relationships are just like that. Rooted in his hometown, this is something that will never change.

So no matter where I go, my hometown is always the place that people can’t forget the most, because my roots are here.

Now that the Jiang family is doing well, people may want to fawn over you, but if you are not doing well, there will always be people to help you, and these are your neighbors.

In reality, there is still a silent warmth, but once inside the community, such warmth is too little.

You will gossip and quarrel over trivial matters, but you will also help out when something happens to your family. When outsiders come, you will also be consistent with others. There are some conflicts, but this is life. Far relatives are not as good as close neighbors. This sentence can be said to be profound.

Jiang Xiaobai agreed, and Jiang Zijian and others were of course speechless.

However, Jiang Xiaobai thought of another thing, and that was his parents in his previous life, Jiang Shuwen and Xiang Shasha. In his memory, his father Jiang Shuwen was laid off and unemployed at the turn of the millennium, which should not have happened yet at the beginning of the new year.

I will remember that it was in the winter of the millennium, that is, this winter, that I learned about my father's layoff.

But I can’t remember the exact time, so I might as well take some time to go there after the New Year and see how things go.

Speaking of which, Jiang Xiaobai hasn't contacted his parents for a long time, mainly because it's a bit awkward sometimes.

It's not that Jiang Xiaobai dislikes poverty and loves wealth. If he dislikes poverty and loves wealth when he is in his position, then there really won't be many people he can like, because none of them are as rich as himself.

Mainly, his parents' attitude makes him a little awkward. His father, Jiang Shuwen, and his mother, Xiang Shasha, are always too respectful, which makes him uncomfortable. In addition, he has been really busy in the past two years and has not had the time to contact them.

Fortunately, I had help from him in the past. Before the Bole Factory closed down, the couple should have been doing well.

It is worth mentioning that a few years ago, according to the time, the couple should have given birth to a child, but instead of a boy, they gave birth to a girl.

I don’t know if it’s the butterfly effect or some other reason. Anyway, it’s good this way. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to look at another me.
