1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 274 Life is peaceful

I do not know how long it has been.

One morning, the sun was sparse and the air was cool.

The weeds on the roadside in Xiaowei Hutong were covered with crystal dewdrops, and the quaint and dilapidated screen wall in Wutong Courtyard was divided into bright and dark areas by the sunlight.

In the Cheng family’s kitchen.

"Guru Guru~"

The coal stove, which was just as high as the knees, was emitting flickering flames. On the stove was an iron kettle that had been burned black by the charcoal fire. The iron kettle filled with water was like a restless little animal, making uneasy growls in its throat.

From time to time, some water drops overflowed from the kettle, slid down the body of the kettle, and hit the coal, making a slight hissing sound.

Then wisps of blue-green smoke floated up, accompanied by a pungent smell like smelly gas.

"Is the water ready?"

In the main hall not far away, the voice of her mother Xu Yuxiu reached Cheng Kaiyan's ears.

"It's coming soon."

He lay in the recliner, closed his eyes and responded lazily.

The recliner was padded with a sponge pad that his mother had specially purchased and cut for him, allowing him to recline comfortably and bask in the sun.

Because it is good for recovery from injuries.

Today is September 26th, and it has been exactly five days since we left southern Xinjiang.

For Cheng Kaiyan.

The primitive mountains in southern Xinjiang, the primeval forests stretching for thousands of miles, the humid and hot climate, the battlefields full of bullets and gunfire...

All of this seemed like an illusory dream that disappeared into the air as he returned to BJ.

But there is no doubt that this experience is deeply rooted in his memory.

It makes him feel out of place in today's peaceful and calm modern city life.

It feels like a lifetime ago, like a dream.

Fortunately, he is adaptable and quickly focused on his current life.

The past few days at home have been peaceful and comfortable.

On the first day back home, Cheng Kaiyan deliberately concealed her injuries.

But it was obvious that Xu Yuxiu could not hide her mother's understanding of him and his pale and bloodless face.

Seeing the blood scabs on his back and the gunshot wounds that had not yet healed completely, Xu Yuxiu secretly wiped away her tears. Then, still worried, she dragged him to Union Hospital for a full body check-up.

Fortunately, the examination results were very good and the doctor said that the injury would be almost healed in another half a month.

When the mother heard the result, she was very relieved. She took Cheng Kaiyan home and locked him up at home.

She even went to the temple to ask for a talisman for Cheng Kaiyan, spending a dollar in vain.

During this period of time, Cheng Kaiyan could be said to have not left the house.

To put it bluntly, his mother felt that his injuries had not yet healed fully and would not allow him to go out!

Fortunately, Cheng Kaiyan is a lazy person, so she can just stay at home since she doesn’t have to go to work anyway.

Because after sending Cheng Kaiyan home that day, my aunt told my mother to take sick leave for him and let him come back to class and work after his injuries were fully healed.

So Cheng Kaiyan stayed at home to recuperate, becoming a lonely person with no one paying attention to her.

Usually after my mother prepares meals, she goes to work.

As for her aunt, Cheng Kaiyan guessed that she should have been attending classes at school during this period. However, she didn't come to see her even on Saturdays and Sundays, and seemed to be very busy.

As for the whereabouts of his girlfriend Liu Xiaoli, Cheng Kaiyan didn't even know.

It was not until he specifically asked Aunt Wang Qiang yesterday that he found out that she had been taking classes at the Beijing Dance Academy recently, and was also taking extra classes at school on Saturdays and Sundays, so she had no time to come over.

"Ah... When will days like this end?!"

Cheng Kaiyan opened his eyes, looked at the wooden beams above his head, and sighed.

Although he is relatively accustomed to being alone, why didn't his aunt and Xiaoli come to see him?
Don’t you have time to come on Saturday or Sunday?

Could it be that the relationship between these two has faded?
"Da da da!"

Footsteps gradually approached.

Xu Yuxiu came in from the main room carrying a kettle. When she heard this, she rolled her eyes at her son who was lying dead on the armchair. "Why are you yelling? Isn't your life good enough? You have people to serve you, and you still have the nerve to yell here?"

"mom!"

Cheng Kaiyan suddenly opened her eyes and shouted.

"what's up?"

Xu Yuxiu picked up the kettle and asked as she poured the water into the bottle.

"I want to go out for a walk." Cheng Kaiyan sat up and requested.

He has been doing nothing in this little yard.

"No."

Xu Yuxiu waved her hand and refused directly in a neutral tone.

"I promise nothing will happen, just go for a walk!"

"Do you know what you look like in your mother's eyes?"

Xu Yuxiu did not answer but asked instead, without stopping her hands.

She diluted the remaining hot water a little and poured it into an enamel jug filled with milk powder.

"What kind?"

"You are a bad boy with no integrity, no filial piety, no compassion, and no empathy. You have no credibility with me at all."

Xu Yuxiu was stirring the milk powder by herself. After mixing it evenly, she handed it to Cheng Kaiyan and said expressionlessly.

"Hey……"

"I can't go out and drink milk...so I'm a child now, right?"

Cheng Kaiyan held the handle of the teacup and drank the milk in one gulp with resentment.

Fortunately, Xu Yuxiu used warm water, otherwise he would have been scalded to death.

"if not?"

Xu Yuxiu didn't bother to pay attention to him. She washed the teacup and went out. Without even turning her head, she said, "I'm going to work. You stay at home and bask in the sun. Don't think about going out, otherwise..."

The sound gradually faded in the yard, and the sound of a bicycle bell rang, indicating that my mother had gone to work.

The entire courtyard fell into silence again, with only the faint sound of birds coming from the trees.

"Let's get some sun and then get some freshness out."

Cheng Kaiyan lay back in the chair weakly, closing her eyes and planning for today.

After thinking it through, he stood up, moved the chair out of the kitchen and placed it under the tree.

I went back to the bedroom, took out the manuscript, sat on a chair and quietly revised and checked it.

The sparse sunlight illuminated the quaint and simple courtyard, and the green stone brick ground was covered with scattered sycamore leaves.

A hint of black could be vaguely seen in the pile of fallen leaves, as if something was hidden there.

"Meow~~"

A black cat with sleek fur curled up in a pile of leaves, snoring, and seemed to have had a sweet dream, so it meowed.

Cheng Kaiyan glanced subconsciously and said, "It's Xiaobai. How come he has become so fat in just one month?"

After not seeing it for a month, this dead cat has become as fat as a lump of coal.

It's an insult to the name Xinyu gave!

The tip of the pencil made a rustling sound as it gently revised the manuscript paper, and the leaves above my head swayed in the wind.

Before we knew it, time had passed.

The sun is turning quietly and the sunlight is getting hotter.

Fortunately, the young man who was lying down to rest was shaded by a tree. A dark ball woke up, touched the cat's face with its little paw, and then crawled out from the pile of leaves.

The cat straightened its back and stretched its limbs like a person stretching, and even its small tail was raised upright.

"Meow meow meow?"

The cat's head swayed left and right several times like a car ornament with springs, and then it saw a huge unidentified creature lying next to it, and its face showed a human-like expression of fear.

He quickly came over, pulled at the cultivator's pants with his claws and took a sniff.

"Meow!"

He is a perverted cultivator!
Forget it. I don't want to bother with a useless person like him.

Xiaobai jumped out from under the recliner and ran straight to the basin of water that had been placed next to the well all year round. He scooped up several mouthfuls of water with his barbed tongue and drank them.

Then she rushed back, jumped onto the recliner, rubbed her pink pad on Cheng Kaiyan's clothes, and then she squinted her eyes and fell asleep comfortably on her belly.

Sleep until noon.

Cheng Kaiyan picked up the fat cat and held it in her arms.

"Today is Friday, so will my aunt and my partner remember that there is a patient like me waiting silently in the corner?"

Mother came back pushing her bicycle to cook.

But behind her, there was no one.
