Chapter 237: The Pig Who Wants to Eat His Own Cabbage
What should I do if I meet a girl's parents when I'm on a date?
Cheng Xuyuan is facing this problem now.
Fortunately, Cheng Xuyuan's emotional forest has always been full of peach blossoms, so he has some experience in dealing with such things. Therefore, when facing Lao Feng's knife-like eyes, his face remained calm and his smile was brilliant.
"Hello Uncle Feng, I'm Cheng Xuyuan," Cheng Xuyuan greeted Old Feng a little awkwardly.
In fact, it is not difficult for Cheng Xuyuan to appear relaxed.
However, it seems to be more beneficial for me to act a little immature at this moment, so that Old Feng won't think that I am an old man who is an expert in love and wants to deceive his precious daughter.
Old Feng looked at Cheng Xuyuan again, then said calmly, "Hello, Xiao Cheng, take your time eating."
"Xiaoxia, go home early if you have nothing to do. Don't run around outside during the holiday."
"Spend more time at home with your mother!"
Having said that, Lao Feng walked out with his head held high.
Feng Xiaoxia said a little unhappily, "I know," and then asked Cheng Xuyuan to continue sitting down and eating noodles.
Cheng Xuyuan sat down only after Lao Feng and Director Ma left.
"Xuyuan, you don't have to be afraid of my dad. He is only serious on the surface. In fact, all the important matters in our family are decided by my mom."
Feng Xiaoxia picked up the noodles and spoke casually to Cheng Xuyuan.
However, as soon as she said this, Feng Xiaoxia quickly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with what she said.
Why should Cheng Xuyuan be afraid of his father?
I and Cheng Xuyuan are just ordinary friends, there is no need for Cheng Xuyuan to be afraid of his father, right? And...
Thinking of this, Feng Xiaoxia's face turned a little red.
Cheng Xuyuan also noticed the flaw in Feng Xiaoxia's words. In a trance, he thought of another girl who said the same thing to him.
After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Your father looks serious, but he actually cares about you a lot."
"Yeah, I also think that he cares about me the most at home." Feng Xiaoxia was embarrassed for a moment, and quickly responded with a smile.
The two of them chatted with each other, just like ordinary friends.
While the two were talking, Director Ma smiled and said, "Old Feng, congratulations! It looks like you're going to have a rare good son-in-law this time!"
Feng Chenggang said with a stern face: "Old Ma, please don't talk nonsense!"
"My daughter was just having a meal with friends."
For Feng Chenggang, what he hates most is probably someone congratulating him on having a good son-in-law.
Director Ma was not angry. He smiled and said, "Old Feng, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? Guess how many people will envy you!"
"I dare say that in our entire county, anyone who is qualified to be a father-in-law is looking at you with jealous eyes!"
Before Lao Feng could speak, the thin-faced Lao Du said sourly, "Lao Ma, please stop talking nonsense here."
"Is that young man a member of your family? You say that about him."
Director Ma chuckled and said, "I would like to, but she doesn't want to!"
"He is a student of Yenching University and a famous young writer!"
Feng Chenggang didn't say anything when he heard the introduction about Cheng Xuyuan.
At this moment, he was in a very complicated mood. He was happy that his daughter had found a good partner, but at the same time, he also felt a sense of loss as his daughter had grown up.
But Lao Du sneered: "Famous young writer, did you give him the title, Lao Ma?"
Director Ma was not polite to Lao Du. He responded bluntly: "Of course I have no right to confer a title on him, but I haven't heard of anyone raising any objections to the radio station calling him that."
"His pen name is Xu Lingyun."
"Just a few days ago, several bigwigs in our county treated others to several meals in a row."
Hearing this, Lao Du was surprised.
At this moment, he finally understood the importance of Cheng Xuyuan.
Old Du, who had originally wanted to fight for his son, immediately gave up the idea.
The daughter of the old Feng family was not someone his son could have thought of. Now that Cheng Xuyuan was a stumbling block, there was no need to think about it! "It's not even a stroke of the pen, Old Ma, don't talk nonsense." Feng Chenggang said in a deep voice as his face changed.
Director Ma looked at Feng Chenggang's expression and understood a little bit of his companion's thoughts, so he didn't say anything more.
Feng Chenggang kept a straight face and said nothing. Although Lao Ma praised Cheng Xuyuan as rare in the world, in his opinion, he was still just a pig who was eyeing his cabbages.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't know that Lao Ma praised him a lot. After having dinner with Feng Xiaoxia, Cheng Xuyuan returned to his uncle Cheng Jiadong's home.
I got on Cheng Jiadong's bicycle, tied the luggage to the back seat with a rope, and pedaled towards Chengjiazhuang.
The sun was shining brightly and there were few pedestrians on the road.
Cheng Xuyuan was pedaling his bike while thinking about what happened to Wu Xiaoli.
This time, although Wu Xiaoli's matter delayed his return home, he was able to convince Wu Xiaoli to regain her confidence, which can be considered a great deed.
After all, it is very likely to change a girl's life.
This can be considered as a great merit! It's just a pity that the only person I can help is Wu Xiaoli. I can't help other people who encounter such things at all...
As thoughts flashed through his mind, an idea suddenly popped up in Cheng Xuyuan's mind.
He thought of the movie he had seen in his previous life about the restoration of the college entrance examination. If it was adjusted a little, with some of Wu Xiaoli's predicaments added in and some unnecessary shots deleted, it could also be turned into a good novel.
More importantly, through this novel, maybe I can help people like Wu Xiaoli who are confused and in trouble.
While pedaling his bicycle, Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about the general plot. When he pedaled back to Chengjiazhuang Brigade, he had already conceived the main plot of the novel.
Although there are many overlaps with the movie 1977 Our College Entrance Examination, Cheng Xuyuan still deleted some plots and integrated Wu Xiaoli's story.
Of course, some of the forced sensational parts were deleted.
As the novel was being outlined, Cheng Xuyuan felt an urge to write it down.
Just at this moment, someone suddenly said, "Teacher Cheng, you're back!"
Hearing the shout, Cheng Xuyuan turned his head and saw Ma Guangzhong at the entrance of the village.
He didn't expect that the first person he met when he returned to the village was Ma Guangzhong.
He stopped his bike and said, "Guangzhong, I never thought that you would be the first person I met when I got home."
"How have you been lately?"
Ma Guangzhong said with a smile: "Teacher Cheng, I heard from my uncle that you would be back in the next two days, so I often come to the village entrance to read books."
"No, I finally ran into you!"
Looking at Ma Guangzhong who was full of joy, Cheng Xuyuan said: "I'll go home first. If you have nothing tonight, let's find a place to talk."
The reason why Ma Guangzhong was waiting for Cheng Xuyuan at the entrance of the village was that he had something on his mind and wanted to talk to him.
Hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said, he immediately said, "Teacher Cheng, I'll go to the store to buy some peanuts and pickles, and we can drink and chat in the evening."
Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "Forget about drinking. You will be taking the college entrance examination in a few days."
"You'd better keep your spirits up. After you finish the exam, we'll have a good drink."
Although Ma Guangzhong was somewhat disappointed with Cheng Xuyuan's response, he also knew that what Cheng Xuyuan said was true and that he was really not suitable for drinking now.
"Okay, then let's talk about this after we finish the exam."
As they were talking, they entered the village.
Because the weather was hot and humid, many people were sitting at the street corner to enjoy the cool air and chat. When they saw Cheng Xuyuan, they all smiled and greeted him.
"Dayuan is back!"
"Dayuan, how is your university in Yanjing?"
"Dayuan, it's only been more than half a year, you have become much whiter!"
…
Facing these greetings, Cheng Xuyuan responded with a smile. When he encountered a crowded place, he would prop up the car, take out the jade cigarette from his pocket, and throw it around.
This time when he returned home, Cheng Xuyuan brought a lot of cigarettes and alcohol.
After all, these two things are indispensable when you return to your hometown.
To buy these things at the Friendship Store, all you need is overseas remittance coupons.
Ma Guangzhong followed behind Cheng Xuyuan, and as he watched Cheng Xuyuan passing out cigarettes and chatting with people, he admired him more and more.
Although he was familiar with the people in the village and greeted them when they met, he couldn't have a casual conversation like Cheng Xuyuan.
It took more than ten minutes before Cheng Xuyuan returned home.
Cheng Jiaxing, who had received the news long ago, was already waiting at the door of his house, smoking a cigarette. Next to him sat Cheng Fulai, the second grandfather of the village's head family.
"Dad, Second Grandpa." Cheng Xuyuan waved and greeted.
Cheng Jiaxing smiled, and Cheng Fulai laughed and said, "Dayuan, I went to the commune today and heard that you were kept by the county leaders for a drink."
"Hahaha, you've brought honor to our Cheng family this time!"
"Now, everyone in the surrounding villages knows that Dayuan from our Cheng family has made great achievements!"
Cheng Xuyuan thought he was familiar with his second grandfather's high voice, but when he heard the compliments, he still felt his face turn a little red.
The compliment from the second grandfather was a bit too direct! So Cheng Xuyuan just smiled, then took out a cigarette and offered it to the second grandfather and his father.
"Dayuan, you've been riding all the way, drink some water." Cheng Fulai waved his hand and said, "Don't eat at home tonight, come to my place, I have two bottles of good wine at home, let's drink together."
Cheng Jiaxing hurriedly said, "Uncle, Xuyuan just came back, how can I let you spend money!"
"You should eat at my place tonight. I cut some meat today."
Cheng Fulai and Cheng Jiaxing declined for a few times before finally agreeing.
After Cheng Fulai left, Ma Guangzhong also said goodbye and left. Cheng Xuyuan had just walked into the yard with his cart when Cheng Ruomiao rushed out of the room and said, "Brother, what delicious food did you bring me?"
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Cheng Ruomiao, who was half a head taller than before the Chinese New Year, and said with a smile: "Of course there are delicious foods, I'll get them for you later."
Cheng Jiaxing glared at his daughter lovingly but said nothing.
But soon, it was Cheng Jiaxing's turn to be surprised.
Because Cheng Xuyuan's two travel bags contained not only cigarettes and alcohol, but also a lot of colorful candies and snacks.
There were even many things he couldn't name.
Seeing these things, his expression kept changing, and finally he said with trembling lips: "Dayuan, where did you get so many things?"
"You...you wouldn't steal it from someone else, right?"
This is the first update today, please support me.
