1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 333 Liu Xiaoli: Will you come home with me this year?
"Get up so early?"

Wutong Courtyard.

Xu Yuxiu yawned as she walked to the door of the main room and found that it was ajar. Dim light shone in through the crack in the door, bringing some light to the room, allowing her to barely see the things placed in the room.

"Was the door unlocked last night?"

Xu Yuxiu grumbled in her heart, but she didn't take it to heart. Petty thefts had happened frequently in the alleys this year, but Wutong Courtyard was relatively safe. On weekdays, everyone locked the outer door of the courtyard tightly, and rarely locked the inner door.

"crunch..."

I reached out to open the door, and the lack of lubrication made a teeth-grinding sound.

Xu Yuxiu's vision gradually brightened and she looked up.

The sky in the distance was azure blue, and the outline of the sun appeared near the horizon, dyeing the edges of the thick clouds like translucent topaz.

"It's finally a sunny day."

She stared at it for a while and began to sigh.

It was cloudy and rainy during this period, and it snowed at times, so all the clothes at home were dried in the shade.

You have to grab a good seat today so you can dry your clothes and quilts.

"Mom, you're up."

A familiar voice came from the side, and Xu Yuxiu turned her head to look.

Cheng Kaiyan was wearing a military coat and squatting under the eaves, brushing her teeth with a ladle.

"Today is the first day of vacation, why are you up so early?"

"hold head high."

"Okay~ You wash it. I'm going to go cook first. When you're done, take out the clothes, quilts, and cushions in our room and hang them out to dry. Hurry up, or someone will take your place soon."

Xu Yuxiu didn't know him yet? It was obvious that she was going to look for Xiaoli later, so she quickly told him to finish the work while he was still at home.

"it is good."

Cheng Kaiyan spat and responded.

Because we usually dry clothes in the yard, but there are not enough clotheslines in the yard.

Neighbors often quarreled about this.

After cleaning, Cheng Kaiyan went back to her room, lifted the quilt and padding, put two on each shoulder, and took them out to dry in the sun.

When I looked at the clothesline, I saw that someone had already taken them out to dry.

He hurried back to hang the clothes out to dry.

It only took a few minutes to go back and forth.

Smoke was rising from the kitchen. Xu Yuxiu was cooking with a spatula in her hand while Cheng Kaiyan was sitting on a small stool adding firewood.

He stretched out his hands to warm himself on the stove, thinking about something.

Today is the first day of winter vacation, and both he and Liu Xiaoli are on vacation.

At this time last year, he had just set off for Jiangcheng to revise his manuscript and visited Liu Xiaoli by the way.

Unconsciously, a year has passed.

He remembered very clearly that he and Sister Xiaoli met for the first time on January 27th.

This day is very meaningful to them, as it is both a anniversary and the beginning and end of a one-year agreement.

Cheng Kaiyan plans to prepare some gifts for Sister Xiaoli as a commemoration.

"Flowers? Clothes, shoes or a bicycle?"

He thought about a lot of things but felt that they were all average. After much deliberation, he decided to buy the new house as a gift for their anniversary.

Just as Aunt Wan said in the hospital that day, since the two of them confirmed their relationship, Sister Xiaoli has always been steadfast in choosing him and has given so much for him.

The work at the dance theater, the city where I have lived for more than ten years, my teachers, my friends...

She came to Beijing alone to live and go to school for him, and even gave up the opportunity to perform at the People's Hall for him.

Cheng Kaiyan asked herself honestly, her efforts were actually far less than Xiaoli's.

After experiencing Aunt Wan's gaze that almost saw through him and her words that touched his heart, he had been reflecting and making amends.

This house was a promise he made early on to give Sister Xiaoli a home in BJ.

Now it’s time to realize it.

There is still a long way to go for more.

Although Cheng Kaiyan couldn't guarantee it, he would try his best to do what he could.

Thinking of this, he looked up at his mother and said, "Mom, is the money ready? I plan to go look at houses with Sister Xiaoli during this period."

Xu Yuxiu stopped flipping the pot, turned around and asked with a smile: "I've been preparing some for you. It's about 11,000 yuan. Is it enough? If not, I'll borrow some from someone later.

I asked teachers who live near Tuanjie Lake before, and they all said that they started selling houses there last year, but they couldn’t sell them at a price of tens of thousands of yuan, and many people regretted buying them, thinking that they would be better off waiting for their employer to allocate housing.”

"Let's go check it out first. Sister Xiaoli and my aunt both said they would come and make up some money if you don't have enough."

Cheng Kaiyan nodded and began to explain.

But at this moment, the look he gave his mother became somewhat complicated.

He didn't expect that in the 1980s, his desire to get married and buy a house would still empty his family's savings.

Without the thousands of dollars his mother has saved over the years, he would probably have to wait another year to buy a house.

Of course, even without this house, Sister Xiaoli would still be willing to marry him.

He just wants to give Sister Xiaoli better.

Xu Yuxiu didn't notice his emotions, but she felt very happy when she heard these words.

Given Xiaoli and Ating's personalities, they would indeed do so. They are both kind-hearted women.

With her outstanding abilities and good looks, she is the perfect daughter-in-law!

Thinking of this, Xu Yuxiu joked, "You were not happy about this child marriage before, but now you know that your mother has found a good wife for you. Not long after you were born, I discussed with your aunt Wan and decided on a marriage for the two of you. This is called discerning eyes for pearls."

After saying that, she put her hands on her hips and laughed.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Cheng Kaiyan felt that this made sense. Without this child marriage, she and Sister Xiaoli would probably not even have the chance to meet each other.

"Ouch!"

"I'm just talking to you and the food is burnt!"

Xu Yuxiu suddenly exclaimed and hurriedly served the dishes.

Cheng Kaiyan was still thinking about something, and thought to herself, "It's time to put it on the agenda..."

……

After dinner.

"Come back in the evening."

Cheng Kaiyan informed them and pushed the cart away.

Bicycle bells echoed in the streets and soft black hair fluttered freely in the wind.

After buying some breakfast, I arrived at the teachers' compound in no time.

It's eight o'clock in the morning and the sun is shining brightly.

The pale golden sunlight slanted down from the side of the tall dormitory building, illuminating the courtyard and making it particularly warm.

Sure enough, there were many women hanging clothes in front of the clothesline in the yard.

"Kaiyan is here."

Lin Xiaohong's mother greeted her warmly.

"Good morning, sister. Have you eaten?"

Cheng Kaiyan parked the car and asked.

"I've eaten. Xiaoli and your aunt haven't eaten yet. Look, they are drying their quilts over there!"

Aunt Lin was drying clothes in her hands and pointed to the south.

"You are busy, I will go first."

Cheng Kaiyan turned his head and looked over there, and sure enough, there were two familiar figures standing next to the clothesline not far away. He said something and trotted over.

……

"Buy the train tickets these days. When do you plan to go back?"

Jiang Ting and Liu Xiaoli stood opposite each other, each holding a wet light blue bed sheet in their hands, and they were twisting it hard in opposite directions.

The water drops flowed down, wetting the ground.

"I suffered the same loss last year because I couldn't buy tickets. It took me and my friends from the theater just to get on the train home after others had celebrated the New Year. How could I not know about that?"

Liu Xiaoli's hands kept moving, and her voice was gentle and quiet. Although the girl complained, at this time last year, she met Comrade Xiao Cheng for the first time, rehearsed with friends, and participated in the Spring Festival Gala.

What happened is enough for the girl to remember for the rest of her life.

"When will I go back... I don't know about that. I'll discuss it with Kaiyan."

Liu Xiaoli thought about it and felt a little uncertain.

Last year, she celebrated the New Year with her family member Xiao Cheng and had a New Year dinner with her friends.

The two have already been in a close relationship this year.

She had a bolder idea, but she had to ask Comrade Xiao Cheng first.

Jiang Ting nodded, lowered her eyes and said, "You two can do whatever you want."

Thinking that she would be the only one left at home soon, Jiang Ting's usually calm mood became a little depressed.

Are you reunited during the Chinese New Year?
Ha ha……

It's okay to be alone.

Sudden.

"What are you talking about?"

Cheng Kaiyan's gentle voice suddenly came from behind her, and he patted the beautiful woman Rouyu on the shoulder.

The sudden voice and contact made Jiang Ting's eyes turn cold, but she soon realized it was Cheng Kaiyan and relaxed again.

"Let's talk about when to go home for the New Year."

Liu Xiaoli explained softly.

"When does Sister Xiaoli plan to return to Harbin?"

Cheng Kaiyan asked with concern.

"I'm discussing this with you. If you want me to go back later, then I will go back later. It's also fine if you want me to go back earlier."

Liu Xiaoli blinked her beautiful eyes, which were as gentle as water, and spoke obediently.

At the same time, I was muttering in my heart: Why not ask him about that now?
"Then let's go back later. Is the 28th okay?"

Cheng Kaiyan estimated the time in his mind and asked.

"Isn't this too late?"

Liu Xiaoli was a little surprised. The 28th was only a week away from the Chinese New Year. Isn't it too late?

But Comrade Xiao Cheng kept me here so late, he must be reluctant to let me go.

The girl felt sweet at the thought. She nodded gently: "It's ok on the 28th, but..."

"But what?"

Cheng Kaiyan asked.

"But Kaiyan, if you keep me here so late, my family will be worried. Besides, it's not safe for me to be alone on the train. Otherwise..."

Liu Xiaoli raised her hand and smoothed the hair beside her ears with a blush. She felt a little embarrassed to lie in front of her boyfriend.

"Kaiyan, come home with me this year, okay?"

But the girl bit her red lips and asked expectantly.

In fact, this was something Liu Xiaoli had planned as early as July this year when she came to Beijing for the exam.

During the Chinese New Year, the one-year agreement between the two was fulfilled.

She took Cheng Kaiyan home and let him meet his parents, sister, and some relatives.

This can be considered as truly establishing the relationship.

"Going home with you?"

Cheng Kaiyan was stunned when she heard this. She still didn't expect that her gentle and lovely sister Xiaoli was so bold.

They are planning to take me home to meet their parents!
"Uh-huh!"

Liu Xiaoli nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, and couldn't help but explain: "It will be safer if you come back with me, okay?"

The girl's quiet voice has a long tail tone and a somewhat coquettish feeling.

After saying this, the girl tilted her head back and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

It turns out that she is just acting coquettishly, but this is a lie!

Cheng Kaiyan smiled in her heart.

This girl is really interesting. She has learned how to make excuses.

But in fact, she didn't need to say it, Cheng Kaiyan also had plans to visit Harbin this year.

First, to meet Sister Xiaoli's family, and second, to make Aunt Wan approve of him, entrust Sister Xiaoli to him, and reconfirm the engagement.

To be honest, when Cheng Kaiyan just woke up from the hospital, he was surprised to find that his mother-in-law, whom he had never met before, had come.

Then his mother-in-law's ruthless and incisive remarks made him silent for a while.

I'm afraid this mother-in-law is really as Sister Xiaoli said, very difficult to deal with.

Cheng Kaiyan hesitated for a moment, then smiled and reached out his hand, touched the girl's soft and fluffy bun and agreed:
"Okay, I'll discuss this with my mom later."

"Then you should discuss it with Aunt Xiu."

Liu Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If Aunt Xiu disagrees, call me again and I will go and ask Aunt Xiu for permission."

The Chinese New Year is a big event, and if Kaiyan leaves, Aunt Xiu will be the only one left at home.

But they are bringing their partners home to meet their parents, so it is hard to say which one is more important.

"If it doesn't work out, let's elope!"

Cheng Kaiyan joked with a smile.

"..."

Liu Xiaoli's face turned red all of a sudden, and she pursed her lips and glared at him.

Then her pretty face turned serious and she patiently explained, "This is not an elopement. We are clearly going home to meet our parents openly."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Cheng Kaiyan nodded hurriedly and listened to the lecture carefully.

He thought about it and decided not to tell Sister Xiaoli about his re-engagement for the time being.

The girl wanted to go home and meet her parents, but I wanted to get engaged.

If she knew about this, she would probably be so ashamed that she would back off and not let him go.

Jiang Ting looked at the two people who were being so intimate as if no one was around, and suddenly said:

"If you don't dry it now, there will be no room."

"I know, I know."

……

Ever since.

My aunt was eating the breakfast brought by Cheng Kaiyan on the stone table nearby.

Cheng Kaiyan and Liu Xiaoli helped each other and hung up the quilts and clothes together.

There were two large buckets full of sheets, quilt covers, clothes and pants. There were quite a lot of pieces, and they needed to be wrung out.

It can be seen that the two of them got up early today to wash clothes.

After the meal, my aunt came to take over for Liu Xiaoli. After an hour of hard work, it was finally done.

"Luckily I'm here, otherwise you two wouldn't know how long you'd be busy!"

Cheng Kaiyan hung up the last piece of clothing. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face and said with his hands on his hips.

"Comrade Xiao Cheng is really diligent today. He is worthy of being the only gay man in our family! He is so reliable!"

Liu Xiaoli gave a thumbs up and praised Cheng Kaiyan generously.

"Xiao Yan came just in time today, not bad, not bad."

Jiang Ting also nodded with satisfaction.

"Verbal praise is not enough, you have to show some real results."

Cheng Kaiyan received praise, but she was still greedy.

Apparently Liu Xiaoli and Jiang Ting were not going to pay attention to him. They linked their arms and said, "Carry the bucket and go upstairs."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Cheng Kaiyan smiled, followed with the bucket in hand, and said leisurely, "We are free now, let's take a rest for two days, and then we will go to Tuanjie Lake to look at houses."
