1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 178 Past Events and Moving
At 5:30 in the afternoon, a huge gray cloud hung in the sky after the rain had just stopped, like a wing dangling from the sky.

The moist cold air feels cool on people's faces, which is particularly comfortable and even a little cold.

Cheng Kaiyan and Jiang Ting pushed their bicycles towards the school gate. The road was filled with college students going out, as well as some teachers.

They happily chatted about interesting things in life, such as who bought a new pair of leather shoes, who did not do well in the exam, or who was dating a girl from Peking University.

"Wow!"

A few boys in their early twenties in front of us trotted over and kicked hard under the big pine tree at the east gate.

All of a sudden, the rain water attached to the pine needles slid down like rain, soaking the boys and girls under the tree. The cool rain wet their clothes and rolled into their inner clothes along their skin. Several girls couldn't help but scream.

This scene is almost the same as it was decades later.

Living and working in such an environment made Cheng Kaiyan feel for a time that he was still in the 21st century.

"You should move here tonight to avoid delaying tomorrow, and there will be a thunderstorm tomorrow."

Jiang Ting turned her gaze to Cheng Kaiyan beside her and whispered.

"Tonight? So urgent... If there's a thunderstorm, we should hurry up."

Cheng Kaiyan was surprised at the woman's control and demands on time, but she still agreed.

After all, there will be a thunderstorm tomorrow, so we basically can’t move and it will delay us for a day.

"Then I'll go back and talk about it later."

Jiang Ting didn't look unusual, but Cheng Kaiyan always felt that this woman asked him to stay with her for a period of time, not just for the purpose of writing a paper.

For some reason, he also felt a little bit of anticipation.

Jiang Ting pushed the cart faster, her foot on the pedal, her other slender and plump leg sweeping through the air, and she sat safely on the cart. Then she said without turning her head, "I'll go back with you, and I'll help you get some things by the way."

"Ah."

The two of them walked out of the school gate and rode their bikes back home.

When I got home, smoke was already rising from the chimneys on the roofs of every household.

The car was parked on the porch, the kitchen door was wide open, and Xu Yuxiu, wearing an apron, stood in front of the stove and began to prepare dinner.

The Cheng family's financial situation is much better now. They eat breakfast outside, lunch basically in the school cafeteria, and only dinner at home.

Therefore, the dinner was of a higher level of richness, with three dishes, two meat dishes and one seasonal vegetable.

"There should be something delicious today. Let's have dinner before leaving."

Cheng Kaiyan retracted her gaze and said to Jiang Ting.

"Well, sorry to bother you then."

Jiang Ting nodded slightly. She had eaten at the Cheng family many times. Besides, she respected Xu Yuxiu very much. What's more, her niece was half a member of their family.

Having a meal is of course not a problem.

But she forgot to bring any gifts this time, which made her secretly worried.

"I'll go help in the kitchen, you go clean up or watch TV."

Jiang Ting threw down a sentence, then walked into the kitchen by herself, with a faint smile on her pretty face: "Sister Yuxiu!"

"A Ting? You're here!"

Xu Yuxiu turned around with some surprise, "Let's eat here tonight. I'll cook an extra dish."

"Okay, I'll help you, sis."

The two of them worked together in the kitchen, one cooking while the other added firewood to the fire, laughing and chatting from time to time.

It is a happy scene, and both family members have very outstanding looks, so it is quite pleasing to the eye.

Cheng Kaiyan went back to her room to pack her things.

On the way, Jiang Ting told him in advance that he only needed to bring some spare clothes, and she had everything else.

After packing up her things, Cheng Kaiyan stood in front of the desk and recalled the conversation with Zhao Ruixue in the afternoon.

I found an unopened letter at the bottom of the drawer. The letter was very thick.

There was an eight-cent Great Wall stamp on the envelope, and underneath it was written "Lin Qingshui, Field Hospital of the XX Regiment of the XX Division in Southern Xinjiang".

This letter was sent two months ago, but Cheng Kaiyan has never opened it.

"It doesn't matter whether you watch it or not now. After all, it has been resolved."

Cheng Kaiyan thought about it and carefully peeled off the kraft paper seal of the package. Inside was a letter and a stack of manuscripts.

He shook his head and said, "I don't know where Teacher Huang got this information from. Maybe this is the sixth sense of middle-aged women. Why is it so effective?"

He ignored the manuscript and opened the letter.

Two pieces of striped paper were pulled out. The penmanship on the yellowed letter paper was not very beautiful, but it was neat.

"I'm glad to hear from you. How is Xiaoyan at home? I've heard a lot about your fame in Southern Xinjiang. I haven't seen you for half a year and you've become a famous writer!

Haha… I didn’t expect that after walking through the gates of hell, you unexpectedly inspired your talent. It’s worth it for me to drag you out of the mountains and almost die of exhaustion…

……

I've read the story, it's very sincere and well written, but I hope you can make this decision soon to avoid hurting others and yourself.

Without further ado, understand for yourself that you must not hurt the other person, it is difficult to have the best of both worlds...

Haha, you've really become a great writer. The debt of love has come. Next time we meet, be careful with your head!"

The last sentence, which was slightly sarcastic and instructive, made Cheng Kaiyan feel a little ashamed.

At that time, the army headquarters was in a small county town on the edge of a mountain in southern Xinjiang. The art troupe, field hospital, and staff department were all together.

Cheng Kaiyan, who was assigned to the art troupe after joining the army, was a frequent visitor to the hospital because of his poor health and the excessive training.

Lin Qingshui was a doctor in the field hospital and was new at the time, so naturally she had to do the hard labor of seeing patients.

Faced with this sickly and weak thin boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, the gentle elder sister Lin Qingshui naturally took extra care of him, especially since he came often.

After a few interactions, the two became familiar with each other.

Lin Qingshui treated him very well. When he went to the provincial capital to meet reporters, he would buy him some flower cakes. When he had free time, he would make shoes for him, mend his clothes, socks, etc. He took care of Cheng Kaiyan like a younger brother.

Last September, the war was about to break out and the field hospital was stationed on the front line, so the two separated temporarily.

However, the art troupe soon went to the front line to express their condolences, and the two agreed to reunite on that cold night. However, the sudden appearance of the spies made Cheng Kaiyan chase them far away.

Perhaps it was intentional on the part of the spies, the two chased them all the way to the edge of a deserted mountain.

It was pitch black all around, and the lush primeval forest was the best shelter at night.

But it is obvious that the spy's purpose is not as simple as escaping. He also wants to keep this ignorant man in the mountains forever.

The two of them chased each other and hid from each other in the damp, freezing cold primeval forest filled with poisonous snakes.

Eventually a fierce gunfight broke out.

Fortunately, although Cheng Kaiyan was in poor health, his shooting skills were extremely accurate.

But the Vietnamese monkey's patience and shrewdness allowed him to fire several random shots before losing consciousness, hitting Cheng Kaiyan.

Fortunately, Lin Qingshui, who had been unsuccessful in finding his brother, chased him with a flashlight and followed his footprints until he heard gunshots.

Perhaps it was destined by God or fate, but after some searching she finally found Cheng Kaiyan, treated his gunshot wound, and carried him on her back for several miles along the mountain road, thus saving his life.

……

Cheng Kaiyan held the letter, and memories flashed in her mind like a film reel. "I haven't seen you for half a year. I don't know if I'll have a chance to see you again. I heard from Uncle Ye that the leaders of the General Political Department will organize a field trip to the front this year. I don't know when that will be."

While thinking about this, I finished writing a short letter, put a stamp on it and put it away.

Soon, my mother's voice came: "It's time to eat!"

"coming."

Cheng Kaiyan responded and put the letter into his pocket.

Walk into the kitchen and sit on a clean stool.

There are four dishes on the table.

Shredded pork with green peppers, braised pig's trotters, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a plate of stir-fried eggplant.

"Wow! Three meat dishes and one vegetable dish. After all, we have distinguished guests. I am in for a treat today."

Cheng Kaiyan picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and joked.

Xu Yuxiu was holding a small porcelain bowl and serving rice. When she heard what he said, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "So, I am abusing you here, am I?"

"I didn't say that, what I meant was that my aunt is an honored guest.

Look at other people, having one meat meal and two eggs a week is considered a high standard of food, but we have fish and meat every day, and it's because you, mom, are unwilling to let your son live like this!"

Cheng Kaiyan chatted with Xu Yuxiu with a smile on her face, without stopping to put the chopsticks in her hand into her mouth.

"I don't want to bother with you. Come and serve your aunt some food."

Xu Yuxiu no longer bought into his nonsense and said with a cold face.

Soon the three of them sat down to eat, since Jiang Ting seldom came over, and Cheng Kaiyan was working for her.

Therefore, every time she came over, Xu Yuxiu would always ask her about Cheng Kaiyan's movements and performance in school.

Jiang Ting was always patient and answered all the questions in detail, of course not saying the bad things but only the good ones.

"Don't worry, Sister Yuxiu. Kaiyan is a relatively obedient child."

"Anyway, if you don't obey, you can do whatever you want. Beat or scold."

Xu Yuxiu waved her hands and said what all parents would say.

Cheng Kaiyan ate in silence.

"Haha, Sister Yuxiu wants to tell you something. Kaiyan is writing a paper recently and has run into some problems. I can help her out. I plan to let her stay with me for a while so that we can discuss the problem. What do you think?"

Jiang Ting put down her chopsticks, pursed her lips and smiled, then looked at Xu Yuxiu and spoke softly.

Stay with her for a while?
Xu Yuxiu frowned slightly, thinking carefully about this sentence in her heart.

The first thing was to write the thesis. During this period, she did see Cheng Kaiyan writing something at night, but she didn't expect it was a thesis.

A Ting is a professor at Beijing Normal University, so it is naturally not easy for her to guide Cheng Kaiyan in writing the thesis.

But the only thing that worried her was, "Isn't it easy for the two of you to live together?"

"It's OK. Firstly, all the teachers in the school know about our relationship. Secondly, a person of integrity has nothing to fear. Besides, we are not in the same room. He just lives in another room."

Jiang Ting shook her head with amusement. Although Sister Yuxiu's worries were not unreasonable, but...

One of them is twenty-one years old and the other is in his thirties.

They are relatives, and his niece is his girlfriend, so even if outsiders gossip about them, no one will believe it.

"OK then."

Xu Yuxiu nodded and asked, "When will you be back?"

"About half a month, the earliest would be the end of the month, and the latest would be early July. Isn't today the 13th?"

Jiang Ting's black and white eyes moved twice as she thought.

Xu Yuxiu nodded when she heard this, thinking that Cheng Kaiyan had never left her side since she came back from the south.

It would probably only take about 10 to 20 days, but Xu Yuxiu was still reluctant to leave.

And although it seems like you are not out of the city, Haidian and Dongcheng District are actually quite far apart.

Xu Yuxiu made arrangements as usual, "Okay, Kaiyan, go pack your clothes and bring an umbrella with you. It's going to rain tonight."

"It's all packed."

Cheng Kaiyan answered truthfully.

Ok?
It was packed up so quickly!

Brat, you can't wait, right?
Xu Yuxiu frowned when she heard this, feeling a little jealous, and then she put her hands on her hips and snorted coldly:

"Wash the dishes once you're done cleaning up, and don't get in my way."

"Yes, yes, you take a rest."

……

After washing the dishes, the two of them pushed the cart and went out with a large package.

Xu Yuxiu accompanied them all the way to the door and watched their backs disappear into the alley.

"Ah... I suddenly feel a little empty."

"Yuxiu, where is Kaiyan going so late at night?"

Aunt Zhao came out from the dim yard, patted Xu Yuxiu on the shoulder and said.

"Ouch! You scared me."

Xu Yuxiu hurriedly turned around and was relieved to see that it was Aunt Zhao. She replied, "I'm visiting relatives. I'm staying with them for a while. It's convenient for me to go to and from get off work."

"Can't bear to leave? Look, our Ruixue hasn't been home for almost a month, and I didn't say anything."

Aunt Zhao comforted her.

Xu Yuxiu rolled her beautiful eyes speechlessly. How could this be the same?

One is a daughter and the other is a son, and they are the only children in the family!

Not wanting to talk to her, Xu Yuxiu pushed her away and went home to watch TV.

On the other side, Cheng Kaiyan and Jiang Ting were riding their bikes on the road, passed by the post office, and mailed the letter.

Although it is getting late, Beijing's nightlife has just begun.

Recently, a new dance hall opened on Wangfujing Street. There were two red and white objects that kept spinning at the door, decorated with lights and colors, and many people stopped to watch.

Everyone is curious about this new thing, but also despises it.

"Immoral!"

"I heard that it was opened by a foreigner. Do you understand that this is called introducing foreign investment?"

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, turned around and left without interest.

It was already seven o'clock when we returned to the teachers' compound of Beijing Normal University.

Everyone in the corridor had their doors open, and light was leaking out.

There were people cooking, people arguing, children crying, it was quite lively.

Seeing this, Cheng Kaiyan could only sigh that there is no quietness as long as there are many people.

"Professor Jiang is back... Hey, isn't this Xiao Cheng? Are you here to bring your aunt back?"

Lin Xiaohong's mother, who lived next door, was carrying a small stool and taking care of her child at the door. When she saw the two people coming, she smiled and asked.

"Yes."

Cheng Kaiyan replied, and at this time Jiang Ting lowered her head and fumbled for the key to open the door.

"Click~"

The door opened with a sound.

"come in."

Jiang Ting walked into the room carrying the package and closed the door after Cheng Kaiyan entered.

pat.

The tungsten filament light above his head flickered, giving Cheng Kaiyan a bad feeling, but finally it lit up.

Cheng Kaiyan saw the layout of the living room, which was about 20 square meters.

The living room is on the left side of the door, opposite is the kitchen, and the corridor between the two leads to two bedrooms and a toilet.

The solid wood floor under the light was mopped clean and spotless.

The wooden sofa was against the wall, and there was nothing on the coffee table and the red TV cabinet.

The entire living room was empty and deserted.

There was almost no difference from the last time he came to help with the move.

The only difference is the shoes at the door and the bottle of boiled water on the tea table.

Cheng Kaiyan couldn't help but shake her head when she saw this. It is often said that a house has a breath of life only when there is a woman in it, but the truth has changed when it comes to this woman.

In his opinion, the house would only be lively if there was a man in it.

He walked around the room and turned back to see Jiang Ting bending over to change her shoes at the door. Her jet-black hair fell on her thin shoulders and her plump buttocks looked even firmer under her trousers.

"Change your shoes. I'll get you some water to wash up, and then clean up the room. Just change the sheets and quilt covers for the bed Xiaoli slept in before."

Jiang Ting changed her shoes, stood up and turned around to give instructions.

"It's okay not to change."

Cheng Kaiyan said subconsciously when he heard this.

Jiang Ting was stunned for a moment, and soon a look of disgust appeared on her cold and pretty face.

But she thought about it and said, "Then don't change it."

"Ha ha……"

Cheng Kaiyan scratched his head, and was then pulled by Jiang Ting to the room where he would live next.

A bedroom that is neither too big nor too small, with a simple layout.

A single bed and a desk.

Jiang Ting stuffed the clothes and luggage that Cheng Kaiyan brought into the closet.

Cheng Kaiyan lay directly on the bed, with a faint fragrance still lingering on his three-piece suit, and he wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.

"It smells like her!"

After packing up their things, the two went to the bathroom to get some hot water.

Sitting in a row on the sofa, washing and soaking my feet, I was lucky enough to see my aunt's beautiful feet.

It is exquisite and beautiful, and small, like a piece of jade porcelain that can be held in the hand and played with.

It has both the translucence of jade and the refinement and elegance of porcelain.

Unfortunately, it was just a quick glimpse, and soon my aunt put it into the water and soaked her feet comfortably.

"Rest tonight and get up early to work tomorrow."

After washing up, Jiang Ting made arrangements.

"Ah."

That night, Cheng Kaiyan slept particularly soundly.
