Chapter 81 Let's have a blind date
While eating the egg, Cheng Xuyuan said, "Their family already knows that I passed the exam."
"Does Guang know?" Cheng Jiaxing turned his head and asked hurriedly.
Thinking about the situation at that time, Cheng Xuyuan said calmly: "It was just congratulations to me."
"This...this..." Cheng Jiaxing wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say for a moment.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "I plan to get a divorce when I return."
"I went to Yanjing these days, and I figured it out."
"When two people live together, they need harmony between husband and wife, and they understand each other's needs."
"You know the situation between Shen Yumo and I. Even if we continue, there's no point."
"It's better to end it early so that everyone can relax."
Cheng Jiaxing stopped. At this time, there were no lights from the train station around them.
With the help of the starlight in the sky, they could only see each other's outlines.
But Cheng Jiaxing really felt that his son had grown up at this moment.
He is no longer the silly boy who insisted on marrying Shen Yumo no matter what in front of me.
Although he felt that his son was now a good match for Shen Yumo and that there seemed to be hope for the marriage to be saved, and that it would be a pity to divorce now, Cheng Jiaxing finally said, "You should make your own decision on your own."
"Anyway, you'll have to rely on yourself to make a living in Yanjing in the future."
The county seat of Changfeng County consists of only two streets, and it only takes about ten minutes to get from the train station to Cheng Jiadong's home.
After knocking on the door gently a few times, Cheng Jiadong opened the door with his clothes on.
Looking at the father and son standing outside the door, he said happily: "Xuyuan, you are really back. Are you cold? Come and warm yourself by the fire."
Cheng Jiadong's home consists of two adjacent rooms, one for Cheng Jiadong and his wife, and one for his two sons.
The house where Cheng Jiadong and his wife live is separated by a large wardrobe. The bed is placed inside, and the outside is used for meeting guests and eating.
As Cheng Jiadong spoke, he opened the lid of the coal stove and picked up the thermos to pour two cups of water.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Cheng Jiadong, who was wearing a sweetheart-neck sweater and a cotton-padded jacket, and said with a smile, "Uncle, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."
"I'm sweating after walking all this way! It's not cold."
As he spoke, Cheng Xuyuan took out a box of Jade Cigarettes that he had prepared long ago from his pocket and handed one to Cheng Jiadong and one to Cheng Jiaxing respectively.
If he can avoid smoking, he absolutely won't.
Looking at the cigarette that Cheng Xuyuan handed over, Cheng Jiadong chuckled and said, "Fei Cui, I heard that this cigarette is pretty good. I'll try it."
Just at this time, Cheng Jiadong's wife Li Xiu'e also came out.
She is a teacher in a county primary school, and she and Cheng Jiadong are a perfect match.
"Xuyuan is back. Let Auntie see him. He is the first college student in our family."
In the past, Li Xiu'e couldn't say that she disliked her nephew Cheng Xuyuan, but she also couldn't say that she was close to him either.
But now, her words were full of intimacy.
This closeness was not only because Cheng Xuyuan went to work in Yenching University, but also because Cheng Xuyuan was admitted to Yenching University.
That’s Yenching University!
Sometimes there is not even one person in a county! In the words of some people, that is the best among men!
"Hello, auntie." Although Cheng Xuyuan had the host's past memories in his mind, he still responded enthusiastically.
After all, for Cheng Jiadong's sake, he couldn't be too cold.
"Xuyuan, you rest at home for two days, then come to the county town for a physical examination." After chatting for a while, Cheng Jiadong smiled and said, "The physical examination is very simple. It's actually just to see if there are any major diseases or something like that."
"Once the physical examination is over, the admission letter will probably arrive before the New Year."
"I heard that next year... no, around the end of February this year, you will be able to enroll."
"How many days do you plan to stay at home this time?"
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Uncle, I plan to return to Yanjing after the New Year."
Is the Chinese New Year over? There is still more than a month to go before the Chinese New Year?
You're not going to work? Not only Cheng Jiadong, but even Cheng Jiaxing, who didn't know much about work, was surprised. He thought his son would stay at home for seven or eight days at most. "You're not going to work?" In the end, it was Li Xiu'e who asked the question first.
"Our cultural center also knew about my admission to university. When our director heard that I asked for leave to go home, he said that our writing team has the task of collecting folk songs and experiencing life every year."
"He asked me to come to the countryside to experience life for a month."
Compared to explaining that he wrote a short play and thus earned a month's vacation, Cheng Xuyuan felt that this explanation was simpler.
After all, with all that talk, I don't know how much I have to explain.
As a person who has worked in the unit for many years, Cheng Jiadong is very familiar with the work of the cultural center.
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan say this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This favor from your curator is really a nice gift."
"When you go back, bring some of our local specialties with you and be sure to thank them properly."
After hearing what his brother said, Cheng Jiaxing also said, "Yes, I must bring something. Thank you, Director."
Li Xiu'e asked curiously, "Xuyuan, you work at the cultural center in Yanjing, that's great."
"By the way, what are you responsible for?"
Cheng Xuyuan said: "I was assigned to the writing group."
“I usually just write something.”
Li Xiu'e said, "You did so well in the Chinese language test, and being assigned to the writing group is a good opportunity for you to make use of your special talents."
Cheng Jiaxing sat aside, smoking and looking at his son, not saying much.
He didn't know what the writing group did, but when he heard from his educated younger siblings that the writing group was good, he thought it was great.
After Cheng Jiadong thought about it, he began to understand why his nephew was assigned to the writing group.
When he went to Yenching University, no one knew that his nephew had been admitted to university, so naturally no one took it seriously. Assigning him to the writing group was just an easy job.
It seems that the Shen family also contributed to this.
"Now that you've been admitted to university, and Shen Yumo has also been admitted to a junior college, what are you going to do next?" As a housewife, Li Xiu'e is most concerned about family matters.
As soon as she asked this question, Cheng Jiadong also looked at Cheng Xuyuan.
"Aunt, let's do this as we said before." Cheng Xuyuan's explanation to Li Xiu'e was missing another layer.
Li Xiu'e had met Shen Yumo before, and she admired this nominal niece-in-law very much.
Hearing this answer, she hesitated for a moment and said, "A forced melon is not sweet. I told your mother that before."
"Since it cannot be changed now, let's just disperse as soon as possible."
"By the way, my colleague's niece was also admitted to university this time. I heard that based on her grades, she can be admitted to Yanjing Normal University."
"You are all in Yanjing, and you are all from our county."
"You know each other well, why don't we meet first?"
This aunt of mine changes the subject so quickly. She was just asking about Shen Yumo's situation, and in the blink of an eye, she is introducing a partner to me.
I can't react to this speed! "Aunt, I plan to finish college first."
"After all, during school, learning is the main thing."
Cheng Xuyuan declined the offer respectfully.
Li Xiu'e said unwillingly, "Xuyuan, I have seen that girl. She is as good-looking as Shen Yumo, and she has a good personality."
"Besides, I just want you to meet me first, not to settle down now."
"You decide, but they may not agree."
Okay, what you said is right, as long as we are not allowed to meet, anything is fine.
As we chatted, the sky gradually brightened.
Li Xiu'e cooked a big pot of millet porridge on the coal stove, and asked her cousin Cheng Xudong, who had just woken up, to go to the breakfast shop with his food coupons to buy some fried dough sticks.
After a simple breakfast, Cheng Xuyuan and Cheng Jiadong rode two bicycles towards Chengjiazhuang Brigade.
After seeing Cheng Xuyuan and his son off, Li Xiu'e returned home and looked at the pound of Shaqima snacks and two boxes of Feicui cigarettes on the table at home. She couldn't help but sighed: "It's only been a month since I last saw you, and Cheng Xuyuan has grown up."
“It’s much better than before.”
Cheng Jiadong picked up a box of Feicui cigarettes and put it in his pocket, saying with a hint of complacency: "Boys, after going through some things, will always grow up."
"What are you doing with the cigarettes? I just heard that a pack of these cigarettes costs more than 30 cents." Li Xiu'e said, "It would be a pity to smoke them now. It's better to save them for the New Year."
Cheng Jiadong said, "You don't understand, right? Cheng Xuyuan is back, and there are still many things to do."
"I'll go talk to Lao Chen and the others."
Although Li Xiu'e didn't quite believe Cheng Jiadong's reason, she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she said, "Old Cheng, the girl I mentioned is really good."
"They both have to go to school in Yanjing, and they know each other well, so it can save a lot of trouble."
"Why don't you arrange a time for them to meet."
Cheng Jiadong frowned and said, "Xiu'e, let's talk about this matter later."
"After all, Cheng Xuyuan's divorce hasn't been finalized yet?"
"What's more, when he came back this time, I found that he had more ideas than before."
"Don't even mention us. Even my second brother can't be his family."
Li Xiu'e thought about it and found that what Cheng Jiadong said made sense. Cheng Xuyuan, who came back this time, was indeed much more mature than before.
"It's okay to take it slow, but I think it's better to let them meet unexpectedly."
"Didn't you say they still need a physical examination?"
"Let them see it during the physical examination."
"Given the girl's looks, even if I don't tell her, Cheng Xuyuan might even ask me to be his matchmaker."
After Li Xiu'e finished speaking, she yelled at Cheng Xudong, who was staring at Shaqima, "What are you looking at?"
“This is what we eat during the Chinese New Year.”
"Cheng Xudong, stop just sitting here and talking nonsense to me."
"If you fail the final exam again, I'll show you how I'll punish you!"
"Tell me, why can't you learn from your brother Xuyuan? Forget about getting into Yanjing University. Your father and I will be thankful if you can get into a technical secondary school."
Cheng Xudong, who was still swallowing his saliva, reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
At the same time, he complained to his mother, "I just wanted to have a look, how did it become related to studying?" Cheng Xuyuan naturally didn't know that his cousin had suffered such an unprovoked disaster because of him.
As he pedaled his bicycle in the fierce cold wind, he felt his legs going numb, but fortunately, the familiar environment kept appearing before his eyes.
The small river in front of the village! The small woods in the east of the village!
There was also a threshing ground at the entrance of the village, where many children were running around in the cold wind! The village where Benzhu grew up was right in front of him!
