Chapter 634: Not Yet Lovers
Facing Cheng Jiadong's question, Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle, Yuqing and I have discussed this matter, and we think it would be better to hold the wedding in the fall."
“It’s nice in the fall.”
"Besides, there's no rule that says you can't have a wedding before graduation."
Cheng Jiadong understood Cheng Xuyuan's situation and knew that some ordinary things would not affect him at all.
So he smiled and said, "Autumn is good too."
"But I suggest you do it after the autumn harvest."
"After all, the land has just been distributed in the village, and everyone is focusing their main efforts on increasing production and income."
"If you hold a wedding like this, people will have to run back and forth for several days."
Cheng Xuyuan did not object to Cheng Jiadong's suggestion.
Just as the two were chatting, Li Xiu'e and Cheng Xudong also came back.
Faced with her increasingly successful nephew, Li Xiu'e was naturally extremely enthusiastic and insisted on letting Cheng Xuyuan stay at home for a day and return to Chengjiazhuang tomorrow morning.
Cheng Xuyuan did not refuse his aunt's enthusiasm and agreed happily.
This time when he came back from Hong Kong, Cheng Xuyuan bought a lot of things.
Because he had already prepared to go back to his hometown in advance, he bought a watch for Cheng Jiadong and several sets of fashion for Li Xiu'e. As for Cheng Xudong, he directly brought him a Walkman.
The brick-sized Walkman made Cheng Xudong's eyes light up.
After all, if he showed this thing to others, he would definitely become the brightest guy on the street.
After all, at a time when young men are already starting to walk around the streets carrying large tape recorders, a small Walkman is really convenient.
Li Xiu'e was about to refuse Cheng Xuyuan's gift, but Cheng Jiadong waved his hand and said, "This is also a token of my wish. Just buy it and take it."
"He's not short of money now, so we don't need to save money for him."
Cheng Xuyuan laughed at his uncle's words.
He said to Li Xiu'e: "Aunt, my uncle is right."
"I have some money now, so you don't have to save it for me."
While accepting the gift, Li Xiu'e took out the meat coupons and asked Cheng Xudong, who was fiddling with his Walkman, to help buy meat.
Changfeng County is not very big, so any news on the street can spread quickly throughout the county.
As the most famous person in the entire county recently, the news of Cheng Xuyuan's return spread very quickly.
In the evening, Wu Xiaoli, who was eating in the alley, heard the news that Cheng Xuyuan had returned.
Wu Xiaoli has complicated feelings towards Cheng Xuyuan.
She was very grateful to Cheng Xuyuan for his encouragement and help when she was in the most difficult time, but she was also a little upset that Cheng Xuyuan did not choose Feng Xiaoxia.
After all, Feng Xiaoxia is his good friend.
She felt that Cheng Xuyuan and Feng Xiaoxia were a perfect match.
And Feng Xiaoxia's devotion to Cheng Xuyuan is absolutely sincere.
But it's a pity that the goddess has a dream, but the king is ruthless! Many times, Wu Xiaoli would say that Cheng Xuyuan was blind.
But after meeting Fang Yuqing, she sometimes felt that it would be difficult for her to choose between Fang Yuqing and Feng Xiaoxia.
After all, both girls are so outstanding and so lovable.
The return of Cheng Xuyuan should be an opportunity for Feng Xiaoxia.
But...but I heard that Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing are already together.
In this situation, Wu Xiaoli herself felt unsure whether she should let Feng Xiaoxia go find him.
She hesitated for a while, and finally decided to let Feng Xiaoxia make her own decision.
So she quickly ate some food and went to Feng Xiaoxia's house.
As a good friend of Feng Xiaoxia and also attending Yenching University, Wu Xiaoli was very popular in the Feng family.
Feng Chenggang saw Wu Xiaoli and said with a smile: "Xiaoli, what have you been busy with at home these days? I haven't seen you."
"Uncle, it's not that I don't come home, it's that you are too busy."
"I'm here, and you're basically not home."
Facing Feng Chenggang, Wu Xiaoli answered frankly.
Now as a college student of Shuimu, she has not only improved her knowledge a lot, but also behaves gracefully in dealing with people.
Feng Chenggang also values Wu Xiaoli very much.
After all, he is not only my daughter's good friend, but also a top student at a prestigious university.
A good friend who can support my daughter in the future.
"Xiao Li, you've become much more assertive since you entered university."
At this point, Feng Chenggang turned to Wu Xiaoli and said, "Xiaoli, when will you start your internship?"
"Uncle, we haven't made any arrangements yet."
Wu Xiaoli said: "Now many of our classmates are preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. I also want to take one, and it would be best if I could study abroad."
Feng Chenggang knew something about postgraduate entrance examinations.
But when it came to studying abroad, he was completely clueless. But the more he knew this, the more he thought Wu Xiaoli was amazing.
Just as he was about to speak, Feng Xiaoxia came out.
She glanced at Wu Xiaoli and said, "Didn't you say you had something to do at home today and wouldn't come? Why are you here again?"
Feng Xiaoxia, who has already been confirmed to stay in school, is naturally very relaxed during this summer vacation.
After all, the students were on vacation, so as an intern counselor she had nothing to do and could just go home to spend the summer vacation.
Feng Xiaoxia glanced at Feng Chenggang and said casually, "I have nothing to do at home, so I came over to talk to you, right?"
While the two were talking, they went to Feng Xiaoxia's room.
After all, they are just two girls, so it’s not appropriate for them to talk about anything in front of Feng Chenggang and the others.
After entering Feng Xiaoxia's room, Wu Xiaoli said with emotion: "Your family is really spacious, unlike us. I am still squeezed into one room with my sister."
Feng Xiaoxia smiled and said, "When you graduate, you will be able to get one or two rooms anyway. Don't worry, you will be able to live in your own house soon."
Wu Xiaoli shook her head and said, "One of my senior sisters went there for internship. Although the company arranged a house for her, three girls lived together."
"Hey, according to her, it's really inconvenient!"
Feng Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Okay, you came here today not just to tell me these things, right?"
"If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Do you know that Cheng Xuyuan is back?" Wu Xiaoli said solemnly.
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's news, Feng Xiaoxia was stunned for a moment, then she said naturally: "Who told you that?"
"Did you run into him?"
Seeing Feng Xiaoxia who looked like she didn't know anything, Wu Xiaoli hesitated and said, "Cheng Xuyuan's return is news to our county."
"I heard it from the auntie at the entrance of the alley while I was having dinner."
When Feng Xiaoxia heard this, she immediately understood.
All the aunts at the entrance of the alley knew the news that Cheng Xuyuan had returned home, so his father, who was a prominent figure in the county, naturally knew the news as well.
While eating, the reason why his father didn't say anything was naturally because he didn't want him and Cheng Xuyuan to get too entangled.
Although his father was very grateful to Cheng Xuyuan for letting him stay in school, Cheng Xuyuan now had a girlfriend and was engaged, and he didn't want to continue to be entangled with Cheng Xuyuan.
Feng Xiaoxia understood her father's expectations and was not prepared to protest.
She smiled and said, "I haven't been out much all day, so I really haven't heard about it."
Wu Xiaoli looked at the calm Feng Xiaoxia and a hint of hesitation arose in her heart.
According to her idea, when Feng Xiaoxia knew the news of Cheng Xuyuan's return, she should go to see Cheng Xuyuan with full of surprise, but now she behaved too calmly.
This is a bit wrong.
After hesitating for a moment, she said to Feng Xiaoxia, "Xiaoxia, it's not easy for Cheng Xuyuan to come back. We are old friends, why don't we talk to him."
"It can be considered as a small gathering for us."
Generally speaking, even ordinary classmates would not object to Wu Xiaoli's approach.
Not to mention, Feng Xiaoxia herself had feelings for Cheng Xuyuan.
Just as Wu Xiaoli was about to get up, Feng Xiaoxia hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said, "Xiaoli, if you want to see Cheng Xuyuan, just go there by yourself."
"If he asks me, just say that I have something urgent to do at home."
"If he doesn't ask, then don't say anything."
Wu Xiaoli looked at Feng Xiaoxia who looked serious and couldn't help asking, "Xiaoxia, what are you doing..."
"It's better not to meet." Feng Xiaoxia said lightly.
Wu Xiaoli looked at her good friend's expression and understood something in her mind.
She was surprised at her good friend's choice, but at the same time, she felt relieved.
Feng Xiaoxia is not a girl who likes to compete with others. If she can get out of the entanglement with Cheng Xuyuan, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for her.
So after a moment's hesitation, she said solemnly: "If you don't go to see him, I won't go either."
"He returned to the county and didn't even ask to see us."
"Why should we go see him?"
"Besides, he is about to get married."
Hearing Wu Xiaoli's words, Feng Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Actually, Cheng Xuyuan is a good friend."
"Xiao Li, you can't lose this friend because of me."
Looking at Feng Xiaoxia who looked serious, Wu Xiaoli said, "Who said I was going to lose my friend Cheng Xuyuan? This guy is a hard-to-find friend."
"It's just that I'm not in a very good mood right now, so I don't plan to see him."
"Why, don't you see that he is guilty?"
Feng Xiaoxia pinched Wu Xiaoli's face and said, "No wonder people say you have a sharp tongue."
"If you can say that, will you be able to find someone in the future?"
Wu Xiaoli was suddenly teased and prepared to fight back.
But when the words came to my lips, they turned into: "Who said I can't find a partner? I'm very popular in my class now."
"We are all popular class beauties now."
Hearing Wu Xiaoli's humorous remarks, Feng Xiaoxia couldn't help laughing.
Cheng Xuyuan, who had dinner at Cheng Jiadong, had no idea what Feng Xiaoxia was talking about him.
Although he still had a good impression of Feng Xiaoxia in his heart, his current situation was not suitable for him to offend her again.
What's more, Feng Xiaoxia and he are from the same village.
If anything goes wrong, it won't be his business.
After staying at Cheng Jiadong's house for one night, Cheng Xuyuan took the bus to the commune early the next morning and headed home leisurely.
Since buying a car, Cheng Xuyuan has significantly reduced the time he spends taking the bus.
This time when I took the bus, I felt uncomfortable because the whole bus was shaking.
Originally, Cheng Jiadong was planning to find a jeep to take him home, but Cheng Xuyuan declined.
Cheng Jiadong is not yet at the level where he can afford a jeep.
If you want to use a jeep, you need to owe someone a favor.
Cheng Xuyuan felt that there was no need for him to owe his uncle a favor just because he went home.
Fortunately, the weather was warm in the early morning, and after the car set off, it arrived at the main street of the commune in just an hour.
Here, when Cheng Xuyuan got off the car, many people looked at him with curiosity.
It’s not that I recognized him, but the way he was dressed made me feel different.
"Xuyuan!" Just as Cheng Xuyuan was looking around, his cousin Cheng Xulei quickly rushed to him.
Before Cheng Xuyuan came back, Cheng Jiadong called the commune and asked someone to come to the commune to pick up Cheng Xuyuan.
Looking at Cheng Xulei, whose face looked a little vicissitudes, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Brother Xulei, I'm sorry to bother you this time."
"We are all family, this is no trouble at all." Cheng Xulei pointed to the tractor parked not far away and said, "Let's go, let's drive the tractor back."
This tractor is the treasure of Chengjiazhuang.
There is only one machine in the village. Unless there is a big deal, it is basically not allowed to be used.
Cheng Xuyuan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Xulei, saying, "Brother Xulei, how about trying this cigarette?"
Although Cheng Xuyuan doesn't smoke, he still has to be polite.
Although Cheng Xulei was considered worldly-wise in the village, he was still surprised when Cheng Xuyuan brought back cigarettes from Hong Kong.
"Xuyuan, this cigarette is really exquisitely made."
"How much is this per box?"
Cheng Xuyuan responded casually: "I bought it cheaply, so you can smoke it without worry."
"By the way, how is the village?"
Cheng Xuyuan changed the subject, and Cheng Xulei immediately asked, "Is the village doing well now?"
"After everyone shared the land, they were very motivated. I heard that everyone had a good harvest this autumn."
Cheng Xuyuan chatted with Cheng Xulei while looking at the surrounding scenery. Soon the tractor returned to Chengjiazhuang.
Before Cheng Xuyuan got off the tractor, many people gathered around him.
"Dayuan is back!"
"Dayuan, you are now fair-skinned. If I saw you outside, I would not recognize you."
"Dayuan, when are you going to leave after you come back this time?"
…
Facing the greetings and questions from his fellow villagers, Cheng Xuyuan responded to each one with a smile.
It took him seven or eight minutes to walk from the village entrance to his home, which was only about 100 to 200 meters.
After talking briefly with his parents, Cheng Xuyuan went back to his room to change his clothes. When he washed his face and returned to the kitchen, Cheng Jiaxing was talking to his mother.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan coming over, Cheng Jiaxing asked, "Xuyuan, how long do you plan to stay this time?"
"Just four or five days." Cheng Xuyuan answered sincerely.
Cheng Jiaxing said, "You are busy with important things, so you don't need to worry about your family. But next time you come back, you should bring Yuqing with you."
Just then, someone outside shouted, "Is Cheng Xuyuan home?"
