I emptied my family's possessions to join the army, and my abstinent superior doted on me.

Chapter 65 Don't Miss Out on a Good Girl

Qian Lai's cheeks flushed.

Hua Cheng understood his parents' intentions and wanted to know the answer, but he also felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing her hesitate and unsure how to respond, they quickly smoothed things over: "Mom and Dad, this is her first time visiting our home. Why are you asking about her private matters so directly?"

"Oh, we just like Xiaoran so much. We treat her like our own child, so we just asked casually. Xiaoran, please don't mind."

Having lived abroad for a long time, the Hua couple naturally understood the importance of respecting personal privacy.

I felt embarrassed after saying something inappropriate.

"It's okay, Uncle and Aunt. I don't have anyone I like. I don't think I'm ready to be in a relationship yet."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Firstly, due to family reasons, my parents didn't support me going to high school. So, I only have a junior high school diploma now. I think I should take advantage of my youth to improve my education."

Secondly, I'm not even nineteen yet. I shouldn't be thinking about romantic relationships right now.

So that’s it!
So, how do you plan to improve your educational qualifications?

"To be honest, although I didn't go to high school, I have a teacher from Beijing who has guided me through the high school part of my education. I plan to take the college entrance exam on my own when I have the opportunity in the future."

"Oh? You're so ambitious, that's great. I can ask your brother Hua Cheng to help you. He can help you with study materials and registration information."

Upon hearing this, Hua Cheng immediately offered, "Many of the worker-peasant-soldier students at our school have a relatively weak academic foundation, so the school offers after-school tutoring classes for them. The content covered happens to be the knowledge relevant to the college entrance examination. If you'd like, I can help you enroll."

"I need to think about this matter carefully. There are some things at home that still need time to be arranged. I'll trouble Brother Cheng again once everything is settled."

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you anytime. If you need any review materials, just let me know. Don't waste your money buying new ones."

"Then thank you in advance, Brother Cheng."

I enjoyed breakfast very much.

After dinner, Hua Boyan and his wife went to a friend's game of ball, leaving Hua Cheng, Qian Lai, and Hua Rui, who was still fast asleep, at home.

Hua Cheng's room had a large collection of books, and he and Qian Lai selected a few.

Qian Lai happened to share her idea of ​​selling diapers and feminine hygiene products in the new city with Hua Cheng.

Unexpectedly, Hua Cheng strongly agreed with her idea and felt that this field was still a blue ocean, and the future demand would be enormous.

However, if you want to set up a store in an overseas Chinese shop, you must first register a company.

At the same time, Qianlai was reminded to always pay attention to the protection of intellectual property rights in product design and brand name.

Qian Lai carefully wrote down his words one by one.

The morning's work was so fruitful that when I looked up at the time, it was almost noon.

However, Hua Rui still showed no signs of waking up, and Qian Lai was getting a little anxious.

"Brother Cheng, how about I take my leave first? I think Hua Rui must be exhausted, so let her rest first."

When she wakes up, please tell her for me: We'll go shopping at the department store together again next time.

Pleasant times always seem to pass too quickly.

Hua Cheng was reluctant to see her leave, so after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Where do you want to go? I'll take you."

"No need. I just want to go to the Overseas Chinese Store by myself. Cheng-ge, you stay home and rest. Just tell me how to get there by public transport."

Hua Cheng quickly got up and tidied up the books and notebooks spread out on the table.

"It's alright, I haven't been to the Overseas Chinese Store in a long time either. I'll go shopping with you. Wait for me downstairs for a bit, I'll change my clothes and come down."

Soon, Hua Cheng came downstairs feeling refreshed.

At this moment, he was completely different from his dignified and reserved demeanor the night before.

He looks exactly like a young master who has just returned from abroad in a movie.

A white, short-sleeved knit top with a large collar, paired with loose-fitting light blue cotton-linen trousers and white tennis shoes, makes her look like she's radiating a gentle breeze in the sunlight.

"Let's go."

Hua Cheng got on the bicycle first, propped one foot on the ground, and struck a very dashing pose. "Get on."

Qian Lai obediently sat down, her hands gripping the bottom of the seat tightly.

"Gather your skirt up properly, so it doesn't get caught in the wheels," Hua Cheng instructed.

"Ready? Shall we go?"

"it is good."

Hua Cheng is truly thoughtful and considerate.

With a push of his feet, the two of them dashed towards the gate of the compound like two fluttering butterflies.

In a distant corner, however, stood a lonely figure, unnoticed by anyone.

Wherever the two went, they immediately became the focus of attention for the neighbors in the compound.

"Hua Cheng, is this your boyfriend?"

Sure enough! Someone couldn't resist and, because of their close relationship, came up to inquire.

Hua Cheng had no choice but to stop the car when he saw that the person was an elder.

"Aunt Xu, this is my sister's friend."

"Oh, Xiao Cheng, you're not getting any younger. You need to hurry up and settle down. Xiao Rui has already brought such a wonderful girl home for you. Don't miss out on her."

"I understand, Aunt Xu."

Hua Cheng quickly ended the conversation and rushed out of the family compound gate with Qian Lai as if the wind was blowing.

"Xiaoran, don't mind her. Aunt Xu is the older sister of my mother's old colleague. She's practically watched me grow up."

Every time we meet, I feel like I'm being treated like an elder. Elders, seeing that I'm so old and still unmarried, always offer a lot of advice. Don't take it to heart.

"Cheng-ge, your parents are both wonderful people. I think they won't interfere too much in your marriage with Hua-rui, right?"

"My parents were just transferred back from abroad. They are quite open-minded."

We all believe that if there's no true love, it's better not to get married. But if we do find true love, we certainly won't let it go easily.

My parents would never pressure me to get married just because I've reached a certain age.

An unhappy marriage can ruin a person's life.

To be honest, the Hua family is truly an excellent family.

If someone were to marry into the Hua family or marry Hua Rui in the future, it would be an extremely happy thing.

"Xiaoran, where are your parents? Will they force you to marry someone you don't like?"

Qian Lai found it difficult to speak.

Compared to the Hua family parents, the original owner's father was practically the best person in the world!
He not only forces his daughter to marry someone he doesn't like, but he also doesn't care whether his daughter is happy or not. As long as it benefits him, he will push his daughter into the marriage without hesitation, no matter how dangerous the marriage is.

People you shouldn't think about are better left unmentioned.

Seeing that she remained silent, Hua Cheng stopped pressing her for answers.

"Xiaoran, if you meet someone you like, be bold and seize the opportunity. Don't worry too much. If you don't like them, never force yourself."

"A brave girl is the first to find happiness." This is a phrase my parents often say to my younger sister. I think it makes a lot of sense.

After Hua Cheng finished speaking, he waited expectantly for Qian Lai's response.

"I understand, Cheng-ge. Your family is so kind."

To Hua Cheng, this meant: "Your family is so nice, I want to join."

He was very pleased with himself, so he pedaled even harder.

The Overseas Chinese Store was not far from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' residential area. After more than ten minutes, we finally saw a white building in front of us with several large red characters: "Xinshi Overseas Chinese Store".
