Chapter 223 Mom, I’m afraid I can’t catch up with Cheng Xuyuan
Fang Yuqing returned home feeling a little dizzy.
Mother Meng Fanjin was busy in the kitchen, but father was not at home.
Fang Yuqing has long been accustomed to such situations.
After all, her father Fang Gengsheng was busy with work, and he was rarely at home when she was a child.
"How about the TV you bought?" Looking at his daughter sitting casually on the sofa, looking very tired, Meng Fanjin walked over lovingly and put his arm around Fang Yuqing's shoulders and said.
"The purchase went smoothly." Fang Yuqing said with a smile, "Color TVs are so beautiful!"
Meng Fanjin glanced at his own black-and-white Panda TV and smiled, "It's good enough to have a TV to watch. But your sister and her husband are so picky! They both want to spend every penny they earn!"
"By the way, how much did the TV cost?"
Fang Yuqing said: "More than 1,500."
Hearing this number, Meng Fanjin couldn't help but scold his eldest daughter again.
Although Fang Gengsheng has a high salary, the couple's combined income is not enough to save that much money in a year.
Listening to her mother complaining about her sister, Fang Yuqing didn't want to talk anymore.
"Why, you want to buy a color TV too?"
Looking at her little daughter's expression, Meng Fanjin couldn't help but ask.
Fang Yuqing shook her head.
"Then why are you unhappy?" Meng Fanjin suddenly asked, "Did you have a fight with Xiao Cheng?"
When it comes to the words "quarrel with Cheng Xuyuan", Meng Fanjin's heart inexplicably skips a beat.
As a mother, she has mixed feelings about the relationship between her daughter and Xiao Cheng.
Seeing her mother's concerned look, Fang Yuqing couldn't help but said, "Mom, what are you thinking about!"
"He has always been very nice to me, how could I possibly quarrel with him!"
"It's not a quarrel, so why do you look so worried? What happened?"
Hearing her mother's words, Fang Yuqing suddenly felt a little sad. She couldn't help but bury her head in her mother's arms and said, "Mom, I suddenly feel that he is too good. I mean in every aspect! I can't keep up with him."
"What do you mean? Cheng Xuyuan, does he dislike you?"
If her daughter suddenly woke up and stopped getting entangled with Cheng Xuyuan, a married man, Meng Fanjin would agree with it wholeheartedly even though she felt it was a pity for someone like Xiao Cheng.
But now, what does my daughter mean by this! How is it possible that she is not worthy of Cheng Xuyuan?
His daughter is not only beautiful, but also has a good personality. How could she not be worthy of him, Cheng Xuyuan? Moreover, in terms of family background and conditions, isn't Qing'er the best candidate for a poor child from a rural area like Cheng Xuyuan to find a partner? Is this a joke! "No, I just feel a little stupid." Fang Yuqing said, hugging her mother's arm.
"What exactly happened? Tell mom, otherwise I will go find your sister and ask her to tell me." Meng Fanjin said solemnly.
Fang Yuqing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately was unwilling to let her mother go look for her sister.
After all, no one knows what her sister will say! "Mom, Xiao Cheng is going to buy a house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment in Huayuan Village." Fang Yuqing finally spoke.
Meng Fanjin had seen the houses in the Overseas Chinese Apartments in Huayuan Village.
Although it doesn't look as good as where they live now, after all, it's a villa, but in terms of comfort, it is much better.
After visiting the houses there, Meng Fanjin thought more than once how nice it would be if he had a house there, but unfortunately it was just a thought.
After all, the houses there were only sold to overseas Chinese at that time.
"Is he qualified to buy a house there?" Meng Fanjin hesitated and asked in confusion.
Fang Yuqing said: "Mom, I heard from my brother-in-law that the restrictions there have been relaxed."
“As long as you have money, you can buy it.”
Meng Fanjin nodded gently and said, "How much does the house cost?"
Fang Yuqing said, "Mom, I heard from my brother-in-law that it should cost more than 10,000 yuan."
"Cheng Xuyuan is planning to buy a house over there."
More than ten thousand yuan!
Hearing this number, Meng Fanjin raised his head suddenly.
The couple's salaries are not low, but their current savings are still far from 10,000 yuan.
However, Cheng Xuyuan actually wanted to buy a house worth more than 10,000 yuan. He was crazy.
Doesn’t he have a house? “Doesn’t he… doesn’t he have a house?” Meng Fanjin asked.
"He felt that the literary association's tube-shaped building was too noisy and affected his writing. Moreover, he believed that money should be spent, so buying a house was just the right thing to do and it was the best use of his money."
Listening to Fang Yuqing's answer, Meng Fanjin asked, "Xiao Cheng, does he have that much money?"
"Not yet, but he has saved more than 4,000 yuan in royalties. But my brother-in-law said that he can earn more than 10,000 yuan in just three or four months."
"Mom, Xuyuan has made so much money in less than a year. Compared to him, I am so far behind! Apart from studying, I can't seem to do anything else!"
Looking at her daughter who looked anxious and worried, Meng Fanjin felt a little pity for her while feeling impressed at how quickly Cheng Xuyuan made money.
"Baby, I tell you, you don't have to think like that. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses."
"For example, writing is Cheng Xuyuan's specialty, but you also have advantages that Cheng Xuyuan doesn't have!"
"For example, you have a gentle personality, are warm to others, and are very good at studying..."
It is very fast for a mother to list the advantages of her own daughter. In just a short while, Meng Fanjin listed a lot of advantages of Fang Yuqing.
After hearing her mother's heart-warming comfort, a smile gradually appeared on Fang Yuqing's face.
"Mom, thank you for your encouragement. I know what to do in the future." Fang Yuqing said with a smile, holding Meng Fanjin's hand.
Seeing Fang Yuqing regain her cheerfulness, Meng Fanjin breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she was still shocked by the fact that Cheng Xuyuan was going to buy a house.
This prospective son-in-law that she was reluctant to accept actually made so much money by writing! He was really bold enough to buy a house in Huaqiao Apartment.
So much so that in the evening, after Fang Gengsheng came back, she couldn't help but tell him about this matter and said, "Old Fang, do you think Qing'er will be happy with Cheng Xuyuan?"
Fang Gengsheng was originally reading some information. When he heard what Meng Fanjin said, he hesitated for a moment and said, "It's hard to judge this boy. Whether you are happy following him or not depends on your definition of happiness!"
"If it were up to Qing'er, Cheng Xuyuan would probably feel very happy as an ordinary writer living in the tube-shaped building he was assigned even if he was penniless."
"But the daily life of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar will make Qing'er suffer a lot of hardships in life."
"But the current Cheng Xuyuan can not only make your daughter willingly marry him, but also not have to be bothered by most of the trivial family matters."
"For example, economic aspects, living conditions, etc...."
Meng Fanjin breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Fang Gengsheng's analysis.
In fact, she had already thought about what Fang Gengsheng said, but it felt more practical to hear it from the old man.
"So, you are quite satisfied with Xiao Cheng?" Meng Fanjin asked another question that he was concerned about.
Fang Gengsheng said: "Except for the fact that he didn't get divorced, I am quite satisfied with everything else."
"When are you going to talk to your brother and ask Cheng Xuyuan to divorce you?"
"I think the number of people getting divorced is increasing."
Meng Fanjin said: "Okay, I understand."
"But this is not something my brother can decide, hey!"
While the couple was still immersed in the shock of Cheng Xuyuan's plan to buy a house, Cheng Xuyuan was drinking with Niu Wanjia at home.
According to Niu Wanjia and his wife's original plan, the drink was to be held at their home.
However, Cheng Xuyuan felt that if he and Niu Wanjia drank too much, it would disturb Chu Yueqin and the two children at home, so he decided to drink at home.
After all, he is just an older brother, and even if he drinks too much, he won’t disturb others.
In the end, Niu Wanjia, who was powerless, had to go to Cheng Xuyuan's house with Cheng Xuyuan to drink.
Sitting at Cheng Xuyuan's small table, Niu Wanjia held up a cup and said, "Xiao Cheng, I agreed to treat you, but you ended up paying for it."
Niu Wanjia was not saying this casually.
Of the four dishes on the table, except for the fried pork with peppers and fried eggs with garlic sprouts, which were made by Chu Yueqin, the remaining roast chicken and peanuts were brought by Cheng Xuyuan.
As for the Tongzhou Laojiao on the table, it was a fine wine that Cheng Xuyuan had specially brought.
"Brother, you are being too polite. We are drinking together, so it doesn't matter who pays the bill!"
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan clinked glasses with Niu Wanjia and said, "Brother, I've been bothering you a lot since I moved here. No matter how polite you are, you just don't want to bother me anymore and you're trying to shut me up."
Niu Wanjia picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in it, then said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, I went to your sister-in-law's family's house for lunch this afternoon."
"You don't know, the whole family is so enthusiastic about me."
"Hehe, everyone says I solved a big problem for my family."
Cheng Xuyuan listened to Niu Wanjia's description and said with a smile: "Brother, I don't have any other abilities, I just write books to earn some Hong Kong dollars."
"If you need anything in the future, just tell me."
As Cheng Xuyuan spoke, the newly bought electric fan blew towards the two people, and the air in the room, which was originally a bit stuffy, suddenly became much fresher.
As the two talked, the topic shifted to writing.
Niu Wanjia smiled and said, "Xiao Cheng, I'm afraid I'm not good at writing, but I think I'm qualified to be an editor."
"In the future, you should write more commentary articles and participate in more activities. This will be good for you."
Cheng Xuyuan knew that what Niu Wanjia said was for his own good.
After all, everyone wants to carry a sedan chair, and although he is not active in this regard, he is not opposed to it.
He smiled and said, "Brother, I will listen to you. If there is anything, Brother Niu, you must remember to guide me!"
Niu Wanjia smiled and said, "Xiao Cheng, don't worry about this. With me as your elder brother, I will never let you suffer any loss."
The two chatted and laughed, and finished a bottle of wine.
If Chu Yueqin hadn't pulled him, Cheng Xuyuan suspected that the two would continue to drink the second bottle.
After sending Niu Wanjia away, Cheng Xuyuan slowly fell asleep in the spinning fan.
Because the school was on holiday, Cheng Xuyuan didn't have to go back to school and slept until eight o'clock in the morning. Although there was a fan blowing, Cheng Xuyuan's body was still covered with sweat.
After a quick wash, Cheng Xuyuan prepared to eat something.
But before he could go out, someone started knocking on the door.
When Cheng Xuyuan opened the door, he saw two people standing side by side outside.
The one standing on the left is Feng Laoer, and the one on the right is Hou Shimao.
These two people, one serious and the other funny, walking together, it's really hilarious.
Cheng Xuyuan put down the wash basin and said with a smile: "How come you two have time to come to my place so early in the morning?"
This is the first update today, I would like to ask for your support. It’s the end of the month now, brothers who have tickets please support me!
