1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 12 Rumors
The next day.

Xiaowei Hutong, Wutong Courtyard in the capital.

Early in the morning, the sky was foggy and the clouds seemed to be pressing down and about to fall.

It rained all night last night, the ground was wet, and the leaves were stuck to the ground due to the rain.

Cheng Kaiyan got up early as usual, washed up and went out.

"Are you up so early?"

At the door of a simple little kitchen built with a plastic shed and red bricks, Zhao Ruixue was squatting by the ditch, washing her teeth with a toothbrush holder.

Hearing the footsteps, Zhao Ruixue turned her head and asked.

"Yes, there is training in the army. Basically, we get up at five or six o'clock every day. It has become a habit."

The weather was damp and cold. Cheng Kaiyan walked over with her hands in her sleeves and took a closer look.

Oops...

I still use China toothpaste, which is not cheap, only two or three bottles for a little over one yuan.

Toothpaste is a consumer product. Many people in families with large populations are reluctant to use toothpaste for washing. As you and I brush our faces, the toothpaste is gone.

Not to mention brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, many people nowadays don’t develop the habit of brushing their teeth twice a day.

In the early years, people in Beijing used Hongji Huyan to brush their teeth. The medicine shop was located at No. 3, West Corridor of Huguo Temple, and it was sold at various temple fairs. The leaflet of Hongji Huyan said, "It is good for treating rising stomach fire, lowering toxic fire, removing bad taste in the mouth, tongue tip mouth sores, and swollen and painful gums."

"Yeah, I have an appointment with my classmates to go to Xinhua Bookstore today. Do you want to go?"

Zhao Ruixue had toothpaste foam in her mouth and her voice sounded a little strange, but Cheng Kaiyan could still hear it clearly.

"Xinhua Bookstore? Great, I just want to buy some books."

Cheng Kaiyan originally wanted to wait for the postman at home to see if the manuscript had been approved. However, there are so many contributors these days that it is normal for it to take a month or so from approval to publication.

……

On Wangfujing Street, a queue has already formed in front of the Xinhua Bookstore headquarters.

Many young people lined up at the door, waiting for it to open.

At this time, intellectuals put two pens on their chests, and college students and young people are no exception. At a glance, you will see that there are quite a few people with a pen inserted in their chests. Of course, if you insert three, people will think you are a pen repairman.

At this time, Xinhua Bookstore was like an "ivory tower" without walls.

The channels through which people access knowledge are very limited, yet people have a strong desire for knowledge.

What does it mean to be shoulder to shoulder? What does it mean to be scrambling for the first place?

At that time, you only need to go to the Wangfujing branch of Xinhua Bookstore to find out.

Especially on Sundays and holidays, people are packed together, people are among books, books are among people, and even the cashier counter is "buried".

"Here! Here!"

"Rui Xue, come here quickly!"

On the street, three pretty female college students with big braids waved towards this side.

Cheng Kaiyan walked over without any hesitation. This was obviously his classmate Zhao Ruixue. They should be in the same dormitory and both were students from the Chinese Department of Beijing Normal University. Naturally, he wanted to get to know her. After all, he was about to take up the position of the Beijing Normal University.

Zhao Ruixue pursed her lips, gritted her teeth and followed behind him.

Coming closer.

"Who is this Zhao Ruixue? Why did you bring a boy with you?"

Ji Qinglan, with a chubby face, patted Zhao Ruixue on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Just, what are you doing home this weekend? Hello comrade, who are you?"

Yang Mengshan looked at Cheng Kaiyan and greeted her without any hesitation.

"Hello, I'm Ruixue's childhood friend Cheng Kaiyan. I just came back a while ago."

Cheng Kaiyan introduced herself openly and also labeled several girls.

Seeing that he behaved very generously and appropriately, everyone stopped joking and started introducing themselves.

Ji Qinglan is a lively person from Henan.

Zhang Chun, who wears glasses, is quiet and doesn't talk much.

Yang Mengshan is the most bold and carefree, and speaks the most directly and boldly.

……

Soon, everyone entered the bookstore.

Xinhua Bookstore is very large. In 50, its area reached 70 square meters. In April 6300, it was expanded for the second time and built into a library building with a total construction area of ​​3600 square meters and a business area of ​​ square meters. It is said to be the largest bookstore in Asia.

Rather than calling it a bookstore, it is more like a book city or a library. You can even see people leaving get off work at the Xinhua Bookstore.

Because there were too many people, they dispersed and agreed to meet at a time, and then each of them looked for books they liked in the bookstore. Cheng Kaiyan planned to read some popular books, such as Scars and Class Teacher. Since the circulation was large, she found them in a short time.

Then he started to look through the foreign literature section. There were several magazines such as "World Literature", "Yilin" and "Foreign Literature" that were published a long time ago. There were no new dates on them, so they must have been sold out.

I found a place to sit down and watch, and soon I was immersed in it.

……

At the same time, another disturbance broke out in the alley.

Under the crooked tree, at the intelligence station at the entrance of the alley.

A few old men and women were sitting under a tree, eating melon seeds and chatting.

"Have you heard everything? Last night, the girl from the Zhao family sneaked into Cheng Kaiyan's room alone."

Aunt Wang looked around and announced a piece of news that was big enough to cause a huge stir at the Intelligence Department with a mysterious look on her face.

Wow! Big news! This is!
When the uncles and aunts heard this, their eyes suddenly became as bright as Ultraman's, with lasers flashing out.

The alley suddenly became lively, even livelier than the open-air movies in the early years, and it instantly drowned out all the discussions.

"What's going on?"

"Cuihua, tell me more details. Is it Zhao Ruixue who got into college? Oh, what a pity. I watched Ruixue grow up. She was very pretty and had a big, perky butt. She must be a boy."

"I didn't expect such a pretty girl to be treated badly by Cheng Kaiyan. It's a pity that a college student is paired with an unemployed vagrant."

"Is this true? Wang Cuihua, don't talk nonsense. Be careful that Yuxiu and Sister Zhao won't let you go."

"How could this be false? I saw it with my own eyes. It was already dark when the girl from the Zhao family sneaked into Cheng Kaiyan's room. I suspected something was wrong at the time and immediately lay down under the window to watch!

The kid from the Cheng family even said to let that girl Zhao Ruixue do it on the bed!
Since we have done it, what's fake or not?
If this is false, I will give birth to a son without an anus."

Aunt Wang was so angry that her face turned red, and she was about to swear at them.

You can say anything, but you can't say her information is false!
"So exciting?"

Everyone was shocked, their eyes filled with excitement that seemed to overflow.

There is not much entertainment these days. What happens at night and the gossip from neighbors are the greatest fun.

This incident instantly overshadowed the story about Grandpa Yi Zhonghai having an affair with his daughter-in-law at the entrance of the alley, and was likely to become the number one hot search on Xiaowei Hutong.

By noon, the news had spread like wildfire and half the people in the alley knew about it.

In the courtyard.

Everyone gathered together in a solemn atmosphere, but there was no sign of Aunt Wang.

When Aunt Zhao heard the gossip, she was so angry that her face turned red. She stood at the door of her house and cursed at the top of her voice, her voice was sharp and piercing.

Zhao Ruixue, who came back for lunch at noon, tried to persuade them.

"Which bastard who gave birth to a son without an asshole spread this rumor? How could our Ruixue fall for him?

He? He has no education and no job. How can he be worthy of Ruixue?

It was obvious that our Ruixue had good intentions in sending the college entrance examination review materials to Cheng Kaiyan. Who is so wicked?

Xu Yuxiu, you too, what does your son's college entrance exam have to do with my daughter? It's all your fault!"

When Xu Yuxiu heard what Aunt Zhao said, her face darkened and she was extremely angry.

There was nothing wrong with my family in this matter, and there was nothing wrong with Sister Zhao either, although her words were a bit harsh.

If I had a daughter and she was spread rumors like this, I would also lose my composure.

But Xu Yuxiu still felt very uncomfortable. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?

Is it a great thing to get into university?
Look at what you are capable of.

Xu Yuxiu was filled with anger. She glared at the innocent Cheng Kaiyan and said helplessly, "Rui Xue was indeed kind enough to send Kaiyan the materials for the college entrance examination review. Rui Xue came to deliver things, so she couldn't be asked to stand. Kaiyan just asked her to sit on the bed."

"So this is ah."

"I told you, it's just review materials, why is there so much trouble?"

"That's right, Kaiyan is going to take the college entrance exam?"

Only then did everyone understand the truth.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Xu Yuxiu frowned and glanced at Aunt Zhao and the closed door of Aunt Wang's house, and said coldly: "Cheng Kaiyan, return the information to them."

Aunt Zhao snorted a few words, and calmed down at this time, knowing that this time she almost tore her face. After all, it was about her daughter's reputation. Her words were a bit sarcastic, but it was the truth in her heart. She really looked down on Cheng Kaiyan as a son-in-law. Her daughter Ruixue should at least marry a municipal-level cadre.

"Hehe, let Cheng Kaiyan take it and review it carefully. Try to be more sensible and stop hanging around at home all day. Don't look for Ruixue in the future... Ruixue, let's go into the house."

Aunt Zhao left a few words and then turned to go into the house.

At this time, a young man wearing a postal hat walked in with a mail bag in his hand and shouted, "Is Cheng Kaiyan here? There is a letter for you."
