Chapter 409 The more you find a partner, the better it
is For Cheng Jiaxing and Wang Guilan, the return of their son Dayuan and his daughter-in-law is the first major event of the year.
The second big thing, of course, is building a house.
The old house of the Cheng family in the village was not too shabby. When no one had money to build a house, Cheng Jiaxing thought it was not bad to have such a house.
However, his son Dayuan sent all the money back home, and also contacted his third brother Cheng Jiadong to get the wood and red bricks needed for construction, so the matter of building a house was put on the agenda.
However, he did not build the house according to the construction drawings provided by his son Dayuan, but instead built a house with the popular layout in Chengjiazhuang.
But even so, he is still envied by his fellow villagers.
Anyone who sees this house can't help but praise Cheng Jiaxing for having a good son.
After all, this is the only one in Chengjiazhuang.
However, compared with the matter of the house, Cheng Xuyuan called and said that he wanted to bring his new daughter-in-law home, which made Cheng Jiaxing pay more attention.
Cheng Xuyuan's marriage has always been a concern of the Cheng family since a few years ago.
Shen Yumo's three-year agreement, Shen Yumo's father resumed work, Shen Yumo returned to Beijing, Cheng Xuyuan also arranged a job for him, and then...
Although Cheng Jiaxing felt that he could no longer interfere in his son's marriage, Cheng Xuyuan's refusal to get married was a source of worry for him anyway.
And now, his son has come back with a new partner, which makes him overjoyed.
Everything is ready at home!
Just waiting for the new daughter-in-law to arrive!
"Dad, Mom, my brother and sister-in-law got off the car at the entrance of the village and are greeting the elderly in the village." Cheng Ruomiao ran over breathlessly to report the news.
Upon hearing the news, Cheng Jiaxing became a little anxious.
The new bride came home, and I wonder what the old ladies in the village will say!
If he speaks well, it's fine. But if he speaks nonsense and embarrasses the new bride, it will be troublesome! "This Dayuan, why is he so unreliable!" Cheng Jiaxing hurriedly said to Wang Guilan, "Hurry up and go out and pick him up."
Wang Guilan didn't say much and hurried towards the village entrance.
The entrance to the village was very lively. When Wang Guilan arrived at the entrance, she saw a young and beautiful girl talking in a soft voice to the gossipy people in the village.
Although the girl's voice is not high, it is very clear and pleasant.
The words spoken also make people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing Fang Yuqing so graceful and elegant, Wang Guilan felt relieved.
"Guilan, come and see your daughter-in-law, what a pretty girl." A woman in the village who should be called sister-in-law shouted loudly to Wang Guilan.
Her words also made the gossipy ladies who were originally asking about Fang Yuqing's family situation turn their eyes to the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Wang Guilan walked over quickly and said to Fang Yuqing, "You must be Yuqing. You must have worked hard on the journey. Come back home and sit down."
Fang Yuqing can handle most of her relatives with ease.
However, facing Cheng Xuyuan's mother, her future mother-in-law, she felt a little guilty.
She said softly, "Hello, Auntie, I'm not too tired."
As he spoke, he came to Wang Guilan, took her arm, and walked towards home.
Some people who were close to Cheng Xuyuan's family also followed, but most of them stayed at the entrance of the village to chat.
"Xuyuan's new daughter-in-law is really good. Not only is she good-looking, but she's also not arrogant."
"That's right. He's much better than Shen Yumo. He's a college student, but he still knows to say hello to me when he sees me. Shen Yumo is hard to talk to."
"Shen Yumo is not ignoring people, he just doesn't want to pay attention to you. Who told you to say bad things about him?"
…
Cheng Xuyuan naturally couldn't hear what the villagers were talking about. He finally felt relieved when he returned home with his mother.
Although he has lived two lives, Cheng Xuyuan is not a sociable person.
He was a little overwhelmed to deal with the elders in the village.
Although the house was not built according to his design drawings, it was very nice. It had three large rooms and a one-meter-high eaves, and was quite spacious.
In the yard, the square brick floor has been swept and is neat and clean.
At home, Wang Guilan and Fang Yuqing started talking, and they talked about family matters, but gradually, the people they talked to became Fang Yuqing and Cheng Ruomiao.
"Sister Yuqing, are you also a college student?"
"Yes, your brother and I are classmates, but he studies history and I study literature."
"Sister Yuqing, is your family from Yanjing?"
…
As these questions and answers were being exchanged, Cheng Xuyuan chatted at home with his father and the village's leading figure, his second grandfather Cheng Fulai.
"Dayuan, what does Xiao Fang's family do?" As the head of the village, Cheng Fulai asked about the Fang family's situation as soon as he opened his mouth.
Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Yuqing's father is a soldier, and her mother works in a unit in Yanjing."
Hearing this somewhat vague answer, Cheng Fulai was quite dissatisfied.
After all, Cheng Xuyuan's answer was a bit evasive and didn't get to the point.
"That... that person and Shen Yumo's father, who has a higher rank?" Cheng Fulai, who couldn't find a reference, thought of Shen Yunliang.
When Shen Yulin came to Chengjiazhuang Brigade to handle the matter of Shen Yumo entering the city, he had dealt with Cheng Fulai.
However, Shen Yulin didn't have much contact with him.
However, Cheng Fulai still learned from some of the people who accompanied him that Shen Yunliang's status was not low.
And now, he took Shen Yunliang as the standard of comparison.
Hearing this question, Cheng Xuyuan said helplessly: "It should be Yuqing's father."
"That's settled, isn't it? That's what I said, we can only find better and better partners in Dayuan." Cheng Fulai looked very pleased.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at the happy Cheng Fulai, smiled and said nothing.
What he values is Fang Yuqing as a person. As for other things, he doesn't care too much.
After all, for him, what Fang Gengsheng could help him with, he could also do through his own efforts.
"Dayuan, you are a college student. I have something and I would like to ask for your opinion." Cheng Fulai suddenly said seriously.
Cheng Jiaxing sat aside, listening quietly to the conversation between his son Dayuan and his second uncle.
When he heard that his current in-laws seemed to be more powerful than the previous ones, he felt a little uneasy, worried that his family was not worthy of them.
Now, hearing that his second uncle wanted to listen to Cheng Xuyuan's opinion, he felt delighted again.
He knew his second uncle very well. He knew that his second uncle was a capable man in the village. He not only had high prestige but also had a tough character. Not many people would listen to his opinions.
Although he was considered an older man in the village, Cheng Fulai rarely sought his opinion.
Now the second uncle solemnly asked Cheng Xuyuan for his opinion, which shows his appreciation and recognition for his son Dayuan.
"Second Grandpa, if you have any questions, just tell me." Cheng Xuyuan was not afraid of this and said with a smile.
Cheng Fulai said, "Now the higher-ups are encouraging the team to develop some tertiary industries. What do you think our village should do?"
"Relying solely on farming, when will we be able to build tiled houses in our village?"
As he spoke, Cheng Fulai looked towards the Cheng family's brand new living room.
As the head of the brigade, although Cheng Fulai's family conditions are good, the house is a mixture of red bricks and adobe, and adobe accounts for a large proportion.
When Cheng Xuyuan heard this question, he fell silent.
Cheng Jiaxing said, "Second Uncle, although Dayuan is a college student, he majored in history. In this aspect, he is still far behind."
"Let's discuss this matter with our team."
Cheng Fulai waved his hand and said, "Jiaxing, Dayuan is a college student. He has seen the world and knows much more than you and me."
"I just want to hear if he has any tricks up his sleeve."
Cheng Xuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Second Grandpa, if you want to develop the tertiary industry in the team, I think the first thing you should focus on is to find out what everyone in the surrounding villages needs now."
"Only by knowing everyone's needs can we develop this tertiary industry well."
Cheng Fulai nodded slightly. Although Cheng Xuyuan did not give a definite answer, he pointed out a direction.
Only things that everyone needs are easy to sell.
"Dayuan, what do you think everyone needs most?" As the elder, Cheng Fulai thought for a moment and continued to ask.
Cheng Xuyuan said helplessly: "I think everyone's life will get better and better in the future. When everyone has money, more people will build new houses."
“To build a new house, you need red bricks.”
Cheng Fulai hesitated for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "Dayuan, you are absolutely right!"
"From now on, the more houses we build, the more red bricks we will need."
"Our village has plenty of strong laborers and a lot of wasteland. We can definitely make money by doing tertiary industry in this area."
"You college students are really smart."
At this point, Cheng Fulai took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Dayuan, I'll go discuss this matter with you. You go ahead and do your work."
As Cheng Fulai left in a hurry, Cheng Jiaxing asked, "Dayuan, do you think this is reliable?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem."
As he spoke, Cheng Xuyuan walked towards the house to the west.
In the west room, Fang Yuqing was sitting on a bench, holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand, and constantly responding to various questions. Beside her was a group of village women who had come over at some point in time.
They came over just to see Cheng Xuyuan's new wife.
Although Fang Yuqing's face turned a little red, she was able to handle it with ease.
Seeing this, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Aunts and sisters-in-law, Yuqing has been traveling all day, let her rest for a while."
"Let's have lunch and then come back to play at home."
As the first college student in the village, especially one who had been on the news, the villagers had more respect for Cheng Xuyuan.
Hearing him say this, an aunt from the same family joked: "Oh, the college student loves his wife. We have seen this new daughter-in-law. Now it's time to go back and make lunch. Come back after eating."
After her support, although many people still wanted to have a good chat with Fang Yuqing, the city girl, they could only say goodbye and leave.
As the neighbors left, only Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing were left in the room. Looking at Fang Yuqing who looked a little tired, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "How are you? Are you very tired?"
"I am a little tired, but I am very happy." Fang Yuqing said with a smile: "I feel like I am back home."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Fang Yuqing, who was filled with joy, and couldn't help but smile: "Yes, we are back home now."
