Chapter 407: It’s not that I don’t want to, but that I can’t



Chapter 407: It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't

The housing conditions in the late 1970s were very crowded.

It is extremely rare for someone like Cheng Xuyuan to own a house of more than 100 square meters in the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

More often than not, families like Cheng Jiadong live in one or two small buildings with their entire family.

For a family of three like Cheng Jiadong, having two rooms is already pretty good.

More often than not, several members of a family live together.

Cheng Xuyuan looked at the sky and realized that his uncle was right. In this weather, he should wait until tomorrow to go back home.

However, how to live with Fang Yuqing has become a problem that cannot be delayed.

Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle, how about you help us get two rooms in the guesthouse?"

"I know there is room for her at home, but Yuqing is used to having her own room, so it's not good for her to squeeze in."

Deep down, Cheng Xuyuan certainly wanted to live with Fang Yuqing.

Although the two have been dating for more than a year, they have mostly just held hands and kissed each other. As for other things, they have not experienced them yet, and it would be a bit abrupt to rashly live together.

Therefore, Cheng Xuyuan suggested staying in the guesthouse.

When Cheng Jiadong heard his nephew's answer, he felt a little hesitant.

In this day and age, generally speaking, relatives who come to visit stay at home.

It was common for everyone to squeeze together and sleep on the floor.

Now, it’s not that my future niece-in-law can’t make room for her when she comes home for the first time, but this guy insists on staying in a guesthouse. Doesn’t this seem a bit too heartless?

As for spending money, Cheng Jiadong doesn't care.

After all, Cheng Xuyuan is rich.

However, judging from the fact that Cheng Xuyuan asked for two rooms, the relationship between the two is quite normal.

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Jiadong said, "I can do whatever I want. Can you discuss it with Xiao Fang?"

Cheng Xuyuan said: "Uncle, just do as I say."

"How about we go and book a house first?"

Cheng Jiadong hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't worry about this, let's finish our meal first."

As he was talking, Cheng Jiadong quietly called out his wife Li Xiu'e, who was chatting with Fang Yuqing, and told her about Cheng Xuyuan's plan.

Li Xiu'e frowned and said, "If Dayuan and his family go to stay at a guesthouse, will it be embarrassing for my sister-in-law?"

"After all...after all, our home is here!"

A night's stay in a guesthouse costs at most two dollars, and that's for a single room.

If there are two or three people in a standard room, it would only be 70 or 80 cents.

Cheng Jiadong said: "Dayuan is worried that the girl won't be able to get used to living here."

"It would be a relief for them to live in a guest house, and we wouldn't have to go through all that trouble."

Listening to Cheng Jiadong's words, Li Xiu'e hesitated for a moment and said, "Then go and book two rooms later. You pay the rent first."

Although Cheng Jiadong felt that there was no need to make such a clear distinction between him and his nephew.

But since his wife had given the order, he nodded as well.

Braised spare ribs, roast chicken, some fresh vegetables, beer and drinks soon filled up the originally small square table in Cheng Jiadong's house.

Fang Yuqing was not restrained at all when visiting Cheng Jiadong's family. They chatted and laughed and seemed to be having a great time.

While drinking beer, Cheng Xuyuan and Cheng Jiadong chatted for a while, and then in the evening, they came to a guesthouse not far from Cheng Jiadong's home.

When the two people came from Yanjing, Cheng Xuyuan went to the school to get two letters of introduction through Hong Zicheng.

What's more, they have student ID cards in their hands.

In addition, Cheng Jiadong had worked in the county town for many years and was able to find acquaintances basically everywhere, so the two of them moved in very smoothly.

Cheng Xuyuan was willing to spend money on this and directly asked for the best room.

After seeing off Cheng Jiadong and his family of three, Cheng Xuyuan simply took a shower in his room and then knocked on Fang Yuqing's door.

Fang Yuqing had just washed up, her hair was still a little wet, and her fair and delicate face was now even more flushed.

While letting Cheng Xuyuan into the house, she wiped her hair with a towel.

"Xuyuan, it's a good thing you decided to stay in the guesthouse, otherwise I wouldn't be able to take a shower today!" Fang Yuqing looked at Cheng Xuyuan and said coquettishly with a smile.

Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "My uncle's family has already prepared a place to live, and asked me how we plan to arrange it."

"I felt it was inconvenient to stay at their house, so I insisted on staying at the guest house."

At first, Fang Yuqing didn't understand what Cheng Xuyuan meant by "how to live".

But looking at Cheng Xuyuan's eyes, she understood.

For a moment, Fang Yuqing's face was filled with blush.

Although she had thought of many scenarios in her mind when she decided to go back to her hometown with Cheng Xuyuan, she still felt her face turn red when she heard Cheng Xuyuan say it.

Looking at Fang Yuqing's blushing face, Cheng Xuyuan couldn't help but feel uneasy.

He couldn't help but stretch out his arms and gently embrace Fang Yuqing in his arms.

Fang Yuqing, who was already deeply in love, did not object at all and leaned gently on Cheng Xuyuan.

Just as the two heads were slowly approaching, someone suddenly said, "Everyone, please pay attention. After 9 p.m., go back to your rooms. We will check the rooms later..."

Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan raised his head somewhat helplessly.

Fang Yuqing looked at Cheng Xuyuan who looked a little uncomfortable and burst out laughing.

"It seems that we have no choice but to rest early." Cheng Xuyuan said, "We have to ride back to my house early tomorrow morning while the weather is cool."

"When you get home, you don't have to worry about people checking on you."

Fang Yuqing gently kissed Cheng Xuyuan on the face and said, "You should also go to bed early. See you tomorrow morning."

Cheng Xuyuan wanted to say a few more words when he heard someone in the corridor shouting, "Those who are not in their rooms, hurry back to your rooms. We will be checking the rooms soon."

The voice was a bit loud, as if it was said outside Fang Yuqing's house.

Cheng Xuyuan understood that this was a deliberate reminder. Helplessly, Cheng Xuyuan could only give Fang Yuqing a heavy kiss on the face, then pushed the door and walked out.

As soon as he went out, Cheng Xuyuan saw a waitress in her forties looking at him with a wary look.

Although nothing was said, the meaning was very clear.

Cheng Xuyuan shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to return to his room. Fortunately, Cheng Xuyuan lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly after a long journey.

Early the next morning, Cheng Xuyuan had just finished getting familiar with the place and was about to take Fang Yuqing out for breakfast when he saw his cousin Cheng Xudong waiting in the lobby of the guesthouse.

It was their aunt who asked them to go have breakfast.

Cheng Xuyuan naturally obeyed his aunt's arrangement and walked towards his uncle's house with Fang Yuqing, who had changed into a gray plaid skirt.

"Cheng Xuyuan!"

Just as Cheng Xuyuan and his friends walked out of the guesthouse, they suddenly heard someone calling them.

Cheng Xuyuan turned his head and saw Feng Cheng just walking out of a restaurant.

Feng Chenggang is Feng Xiaoxia's father and has had a lot of contact with Cheng Xuyuan. To be honest, the two of them just know each other.

Cheng Xuyuan was stunned for a moment when he saw Feng Chenggang, but he quickly walked over and said, "Hello, Uncle Feng."

Feng Chenggang asked: "Xuyuan, are you on vacation now?"

Although he was talking to Cheng Xuyuan, his eyes were on Fang Yuqing.

The reason for this is that Fang Yuqing is so outstanding.

In Feng Chenggang's opinion, there are not many girls prettier than his daughter, but the girl in front of him, whether he is willing to admit it or not, is no worse than his daughter.

Meeting such a girl filled him with curiosity.

What's more, this girl followed Cheng Xuyuan.

He looked at the girl's attire and felt that she was not from the county town, because the girl's clothes were much more fashionable than those in the county town.

"I'm going to go home for the summer vacation." Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment, then said in a normal way, "Uncle Feng, is Xiaoxia back?"

Just when Cheng Xuyuan asked this question, he saw Feng Xiaoxia walking out of the restaurant with a few buns in her hand.

When Feng Xiaoxia saw Cheng Xuyuan, she was stunned at first.

As the relationship between Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing became closer, Feng Xiaoxia began to distance herself from Cheng Xuyuan, intentionally or unintentionally.

Let two people start to transform into ordinary friends.

This time during the summer vacation, she came back with Wu Xiaoli and did not go to look for Cheng Xuyuan at all.

This morning, her father, who didn't want to have breakfast at home, took her to the steamed bun shop to have a bite to eat. Unexpectedly, he met Cheng Xuyuan at the door.

No, it should be Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing.

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Xiaoxia said to Cheng Xuyuan: "Cheng Xuyuan, you are on summer vacation too?"

Having said that, she turned to Fang Yuqing and said, "Yuqing, I never thought that you and Cheng Xuyuan would come to our county."

"If I knew you were coming, I would have come with you no matter what."

"It will save you from being in a strange place here."

When Feng Chenggang listened to his daughter's words, his doubts were immediately confirmed.

This kind of affirmation added a hint of indifference to his gaze towards Cheng Xuyuan.

Although Feng Xiaoxia said that Cheng Xuyuan already had a partner, Feng Chenggang could clearly sense that he and his beloved daughter had some vague feelings for this bad boy.

He did not stop or push this situation, but just let it take its course.

Because he has confidence in his daughter.

But I didn't expect that Cheng Xuyuan would come back with his girlfriend.

This caught him a little off guard.

Even more uncomfortable.

Fang Yuqing was also quite surprised to meet Feng Xiaoxia. After hearing Feng Xiaoxia's enthusiastic greeting, she hesitated for a moment and said, "I also decided to come here with Cheng Xuyuan on the spur of the moment. I just arrived here yesterday."

"Are you from the county town?"

Feng Xiaoxia said: "Yes, I grew up here."

"What are you going to do?"

"Xuyuan and I went to have breakfast. After breakfast, I went back to visit Xuyuan's home. Yesterday's bus was a bit late." Fang Yuqing was like reminiscing with an old friend.

Feng Xiaoxia said: "Since you have plans, go ahead and get busy."

"When you return from Cheng Xuyuan's house, I will treat you to a nice meal, which will be regarded as my hospitality as a good host."

Fang Yuqing did not refuse the invitation and accepted it readily.

As the two girls waved goodbye, Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing continued to walk towards Cheng Jiadong's house. At this moment, Fang Yuqing suddenly stretched out her hand and twisted his arm hard.
