1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 231 Visiting Relatives in the Countryside
The next morning, it was still light, around six o'clock.

Today is a rare cloudy day.

There were some dark clouds floating in from afar, blocking the sunlight from time to time, providing a moment of shade.

In the hall.

Xu Yuxiu was packing up the things that were placed on the ground against the wall. Some were spare clothes and shoes, which were put in her and Cheng Kaiyan's backpacks, and there were also some fruit snacks that they were going to eat on the road.

Of course, there were more gifts, such as malted milk, milk for children, candy, and a skirt bought for Sister Qiaoqiao.

"It's been a while since I've had such a relaxing time. I even went back to the countryside to play. But... it's also good to go back to my hometown. After all, I haven't been back for more than ten years. I'll go back and burn some paper and some incense."

Xu Yuxiu packed up her things, wiped the sweat from her forehead, then put her hands on her hips and looked at the sky outside the gate, thinking quietly.

The Xu family's ancestral home is also in a village in Fangshan. The village is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is relatively close to the county town. Cheng Kaiyan's aunt would go back from time to time to clean up.

The whole old house is well preserved. When you get there, you can just take out the cotton wool from the box and dry it in the sun before sleeping. It is very convenient in the summer as long as you have a bed to sleep on.

After figuring it out, Xu Yuxiu knocked on Cheng Kaiyan's door and called out a few times, "Wake up, Kaiyan! It's seven o'clock as agreed. If you don't get up, they will be here soon."

"understood!"

After hearing the response, Xu Yuxiu went to the next door house and called Zhan Xinyu again.

Yesterday, after learning that we were going to go to the countryside to play and camp, the little girl who had been trapped in the house all day excitedly agreed and even said she wanted to go to the countryside to play in the river.

In the bedroom separated by a wall.

Cheng Kaiyan was lying on the bed with a corner of the quilt on her stomach, sleeping very comfortably.

After being woken up by his mother, he stretched out his body and went to bed around ten o'clock yesterday.

I had a refreshing sleep. I was still a little sleepy physically, but very satisfied mentally.

After getting enough sleep this time, he felt his mind was much sharper.

"It seems that I should go to bed early."

I got up, changed into clean clothes, and went out to wash up.

When he was brushing his teeth at the door with a toothbrush holder, his mother Xu Yuxiu also came out carrying Zhan Xinyu's small bag.

Following behind him was a little girl in a red short-sleeved shirt. She had sleepy eyes and a red mark on her face from being pressed by her arm. A small tuft of hair on her head was shaking.

"Good morning, Brother Yan."

When the little girl saw him, she sobered up a little, yawned and greeted him.

"Good morning, Xinyu, you got up early enough today. Are you going to fall asleep in the car later?"

Cheng Kaiyan smiled and joked that although the girl was getting older and was almost eighteen years old, she still had a childish feeling, as if she would never grow up.

Indeed, she was very much loved at home. Even the strict Aunt Wang Qiang doted on her and never scolded her.

Outside, she has myself and Sister Wen Lei to protect her.

Having no worries about food and drink and being spiritually rich is a very rare state.

"No way, I'm going to eat all the snacks you bought, Brother Yan!"

When Zhan Xinyu talked about snacks, her eyes sparkled.

"Haha, after finishing the first day, what should I do for the next two days?"

Cheng Kaiyan glanced at her and said speechlessly.

"Then again..."

Zhan Xinyu originally wanted to say that you can just buy more after you finish eating, but she felt a little embarrassed when the words came to her lips.

She will be a sophomore in high school in the second half of the year, which will bring her one step closer to becoming an adult.

If only I were still a kid like I used to be.

Besides, Brother Yan already has a partner, so how can he still pamper me like before?

If I spend money recklessly, Sister Xiaoli will probably be angry, right?

Just like when dad spends money recklessly, mom will be angry.

The little girl couldn't help but think in frustration.

Unlike other people who are looking forward to growing up, she doesn't want to. She thinks the way it is now is the best.

If I grow up, I won’t be loved by so many people anymore.

"Brother, will you always be nice to me?"

The little girl pouting and squatting down beside Cheng Kaiyan, asked miserably.

"Of course, but you're not a little girl anymore, so I'll change the way I treat you."

Cheng Kaiyan thought for a moment and said softly.

"Hehe, then I'm relieved."

The little girl was an optimistic person to begin with, and she couldn't hide her true feelings on her face. When she heard these words, the sky suddenly cleared up, and she laughed and went home in her slippers to wash up.

Not long after, the sound of a loudspeaker was heard outside the courtyard gate.

They are here.

After a while, several figures walked in from the second courtyard.

Liu Xiaoli walked in front, she was dressed very beautifully today.

She has been living with her aunt recently, and it is inevitable that her dressing style has become similar to that of this mature lady who has studied abroad and seen the world.

She was wearing the white off-shoulder dress that Cheng Kaiyan bought for her. The style of this dress was a bit special. Liu Xiaoli didn't wear it often and felt that it was a bit revealing as it exposed half of her shoulders and delicate collarbones.

The neckline of the skirt is designed in a heart shape, and the sky blue straps are tied into a bow behind the head.

The skirt is A-line and just knee-length. The fabric is lightweight chiffon. The overall style is simple and elegant, suitable for everyday wear.

The girl also found the hair on the back of her head troublesome, so she followed her aunt's example and tied it into a cute little bun. She didn't have to take care of it all day, except when she was sleeping.

She was wearing a pair of black sandals with thick heels that belonged to her aunt. You could tell from the design and texture that they were not made in China.

At this moment, Liu Xiaoli was in a hurry. She was carrying a bag full of breakfast and holding soy milk and tofu pudding in her hands. She walked to Cheng Kaiyan and gently took his hand and walked into the house. "Let's eat first. After dinner, we will leave early."

"It's beautiful today."

Cheng Kaiyan took the thing from the girl and praised her with a smile.

He thought that in the photo that his aunt showed him before they met, although Sister Xiaoli looked good, her hairstyle and clothes looked a bit rustic.

However, over the past six months, under the influence of herself and her aunt, Sister Xiaoli has made great progress in dressing and her aesthetic taste has become more advanced. This outfit will not be outdated even in forty years.

"Thank you."

Liu Xiaoli smiled happily and walked into the house with him.

Ning Wanjia and Jiang Ting followed behind.

We bought a lot of breakfast, and after everyone finished eating, they immediately packed up and prepared to get on the bus.

So much so that the neighbors in the courtyard thought that Cheng Kaiyan had made a lot of money by writing books and was going to move away.

After I explained, I found out that he was going back to his hometown to play for a few days.

The car we took to Fangshan this time was a car with a lot of space. The back seats were the kind with two rows facing each other, so it was no problem for six people to sit in it. No one considered a front passenger seat, otherwise it would have been more spacious.

"Boom boom boom."

Cheng Kaiyan and his group got in the car, and the engine roared twice before setting off.

The scenery and trees on both sides of the road kept receding, and soon they reached the main road.

The speed is very fast, but it maintains excellent stability. Obviously, this is the most professional driver.

However, once you leave the most central area of ​​Beijing, the road conditions are not very good.

The cement and gravel roads were full of potholes, making everyone frown.

"It was so bumpy, my butt was broken in two."

The little girl Zhan Xinyu frowned and stuck out her tongue.

"The smell of gasoline makes me feel sick."

Liu Xiaoli's pretty face turned pale and she felt nauseous. She subconsciously swallowed to suppress the feeling.

"Open the window, stick your head out, and get a plastic bag."

Cheng Kaiyan gave the orders and the others quickly followed suit.

After a while, Liu Xiaoli's face looked much better, and she forced a smile: "Fortunately, I didn't eat much this morning. I only had some fried dough sticks and drank some soy milk."

If you vomit...

Then he would definitely lose all his face in front of Kaiyan.

She looked at Cheng Kaiyan with some relief and fear, and couldn't help thinking.

Liu Xiaoli cares a lot about her image in front of Cheng Kaiyan, just like when Cheng Kaiyan asked her if her feet were sore in the dance studio before, she was embarrassed and even asked him to smell them.

"Don't look around, just look at one spot in the car, or just close your eyes."

The latter didn't realize this and just looked at her with pity.

Then, as if he thought of something, he quickly held her hands, found the right spot between the thumbs of her two white and delicate hands, and began to pinch and rub them.

Liu Xiaoli subconsciously wanted to retract her hand, but it was too late as she felt a tingling and sore sensation.

My brain, which had been a little dizzy just now, has become a little clearer.

She opened her eyes wide and said in surprise, "It works."

"Then let Kaiyan help you massage more. You two can spend more time communicating with each other during this period of time."

Xu Yuxiu watched the intimate interaction between the two with a smile on her face and found it very sweet.

To be honest, it’s more interesting to see your own children dating.

The main thing is that both of them are good-looking and pleasing to the eye.

"……Um"

The girl lowered her head shyly, hummed softly, and had no choice but to let her partner hold her hand and knead it.

"Humph."

Seeing this, Ning Wanjia snorted secretly and turned to look at the lush trees and pond outside the car.

Pedestrians on the roadside were walking with loads on their shoulders and baskets on their backs, and they would occasionally look at the cars with envy, which was very strange.

Before we knew it, we were out of the city. Fangshan is located on the edge of Beijing. There is a long distance between the city and the county, which is a wilderness with only a few villages. Everyone in the car looked at the scenery outside the window with great interest. Xu Yuxiu lamented that this place has changed a lot, and what it was like when she was young.

Jiang Ting liked listening to Xu Yuxiu talk about these things very much. She always took her family out for trips, and it was a warm feeling to listen to her parents talking about old times in the car.

Well, she thinks Xu Yuxiu is the parent.

An hour later, under the command of Xu Yuxiu, they finally arrived at Xujia Village, their hometown.

Then we came to an old house located next to the woods on the back mountain. There was a pond in front of the door. At this time, the green lotus leaves and lotus flowers were in full bloom. The layout of being close to the mountain and the water was very nice.

"There are mountains and water. Even if you want to camp, you can go to the back mountain. There is a stream for catching shrimps, and you can also go boating on the pond."

Xu Yuxiu introduced as she got off the car with her luggage.

"That's very convenient."

Everyone nodded and looked forward to it.

The old house was not very big, with only about five or six rooms, and the doors were closed.

Every room was very clean, with only some dust on the tables, chairs and benches.

It even retains a breath of life.

Because my aunt used to live here for a long time, and only moved to the county in the past year due to illness, but she would come back from time to time to clean the house and stay for a while.

Everyone helped with the cleaning, took out the mattresses in the room to dry, and sorted out the clutter. In short, six people working together worked very quickly.

It took less than ten minutes.

After cleaning up, everyone got in the car and went to my sister's house in the county.

"Whose relative is this? So impressive? And riding in a big car?"

"I don't know. Wow, this is a military license plate. It must be from a prominent family!"

The rusty iron gate of the compound opened and vehicles drove in.

The car attracted the attention of many textile factory employees and their families in the family compound of the Second Textile Factory.

It is just past eight in the morning and those who need to go to work have already gone to work. Under the shade of the trees in the yard, a few housewives are chatting in the yard after eating or buying vegetables.

"It seems to be a relative of Qiaoqiao's family. He will come once during the Chinese New Year."

A younger woman bit her finger and said hesitantly.

"Qiaoqiao's family? Wow! Does she have such a wealthy relative?"

"Tsk, tsk."

……

After Cheng Kaiyan and his group carried their things upstairs, the car left. He would come to the old house to pick them up in two days.

The textile factory’s residential building is a standard six-story tube-shaped building.

The corridor is long and narrow, and the toilets are at the very back of the corridor, which is very inconvenient.

However, such conditions are something that countless people would never have imagined.

They went up to the third floor and stopped at a door near the end of the corridor.

"Dong dong dong."

Cheng Kaiyan knocked on the door, and soon footsteps were heard in the room with poor sound insulation.

What came into view was a familiar face, a woman wearing a short-sleeved shirt and with her long hair loose.

It was Nie Qiaomei, holding a cup in her hand.

"Ah! Kaiyan! Why are you here suddenly?"

Nie Qiaomie covered her mouth with her hands in surprise and exclaimed.

The last time the two met was during the Chinese New Year, and it has been half a year.

"Let's see how you're doing."

Cheng Kaiyan said with a smile, and then made some space.

Only then did Nie Qiaomie see Xu Yuxiu and four other women of different colors standing behind him.

"My aunt is here too...hiss!"

Nie Qiaomie was startled and looked at her brother in surprise.

Why are there so many beautiful girls?
Could it be?

Because it was not good to stand at the door, she didn't have time to ask, so she said enthusiastically: "Come in, everyone."

So everyone went into the house.

The living room, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly became much smaller.

Everyone sat down, and Nie Qiaomie pulled Cheng Kaiyan's arm and pulled her to the dining table.

"Sister, come and have a look. These are the toys, clothes, and food I bought for Xiaobao."

Cheng Kaiyan handed over the things she had prepared.

"Who asked you this!"

Nie Qiaomei rolled her eyes at him, took it and threw it on the table without even looking at it, then pulled his ear with her finger and whispered, "What's wrong with these girls? Why..."

"Nothing."

Cheng Kaiyan was a little speechless.

"You're still lying to me. I've read what's written in books, about talented men of letters...romantic people and so on. Now that you've become a great writer, you'd better keep your private life clean! I don't want to visit you in jail in the future."

Nie Qiaomie snorted coldly.

Although she has always been soft-hearted, she still cares about Cheng Kaiyan's affairs.

"Sister, what are you thinking? My mother is still here, how can I be so bold?"

Cheng Kaiyan smiled, pulled her sister over to everyone and introduced them to her one by one.

"This is my aunt. I used to work at Beijing Normal University. It was my aunt who introduced me to you."

"This is Xinyu, have you forgotten it?"

"As for this one, this is Ning Wanjia, my aunt's niece."

Nie Qiaomei nodded repeatedly. After some introductions, she finally felt relieved. As long as he was not having an affair, it would be fine. A workshop director in their factory was arrested for this.

Then he asked, “What about this?”

Liu Xiaoli blinked when she heard this.

She was somewhat curious about how her boyfriend would introduce himself in front of her sister, so she just looked at the two of them in silence.

"What about this?"

Cheng Kaiyan smiled mysteriously and walked to Liu Xiaoli.

Holding her exposed fair shoulders, he leaned over and put his cheek against hers, saying affectionately: "This is my Comrade Xiaoli, Comrade Xiaoli! Hurry up and call me sister."

"Hello, sister."

Liu Xiaoli was suddenly so close to everyone that her muscles tensed up under everyone's gaze. However, in order to leave a good impression, she greeted them obediently, looking dignified and gentle.

Comrade Xiaoli?

"Is this your partner?"

Nie Qiaomei was very surprised, and then a warm smile appeared on her face, and she took Liu Xiaoli to chat about family matters.

Liu Xiaoli gave her the skirt she bought for Nie Qiaomei, and the two went to the room to try it on. They didn't come out for a long time and it was unknown what they were whispering about.

Later, my aunt heard the noise and brought her cute little baby Xiaobao out to play.

As soon as the cute little girl appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of the women.

At noon, Tang Dahai came back.

The last time he went to the city to deliver melons, he didn’t see Cheng Kaiyan.

When he saw his brother-in-law whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he was about to greet him enthusiastically, but when he saw Cheng Kaiyan's indifferent eyes, he felt a little disappointed and put down his hand that was about to greet him.

He knew that Cheng Kaiyan still hadn't forgiven him because of what happened during the New Year.

So I could only sigh and go to the kitchen to help my sister.

Cheng Kaiyan saw all of this.

In fact, when everyone was chatting in the morning, my sister and aunt talked about their current life.

It is said that Sister Qiaoqiao works in a factory, with a good salary and good benefits.

Tang Dahai works in the village production team. He is hardworking and generous. Although he does not earn much money, the couple's combined monthly salary is about 60 yuan.

It's equivalent to a dual-income family.

Both of them were very satisfied, and after the previous incident, Tang Dahai treated his sister even better.

Cheng Kaiyan thought about it, got up and went out to the store to buy a bottle of Moutai.

He didn't buy cigarettes. Although Tang Dahai smokes, he doesn't buy them because he has children at home.

"Drink at noon. I bought a bottle of Moutai."

Cheng Kaiyan walked into the kitchen with the wine and said to Tang Dahai.

"Okay, let's talk about our inner thoughts today."

Tang Dahai suddenly felt his blood boiling; his relationship with his brother-in-law had finally taken a turn for the better.

The elder sister beside them looked at them gently and said with a smile: "Don't drink too much."

"understood."

"Don't worry, wife."

The two drank a lot at noon, and Tang Dahai spoke his mind while drinking.

It was mainly about how he owed Nie Qiaomei all these years, and in the end he got drunk and lay on the table.

Cheng Kaiyan put down his wine glass and nodded silently.

He is satisfied with Tang Dahai's current situation, but who can predict what will happen in the future?
