Chapter 633 What to do about the wedding
You can fly directly from Donghai to Yanjing! Cheng Xuyuan knew that as long as he made up his mind to take the plane, it would only take half a day for him to meet Shen Yumo, Xiao Anan, and Fang Yuqing in Yanjing.
But should I really run over at this time? Cheng Xuyuan felt a little hesitant.
Shen Yumo went back to Yanjing to visit his relatives. What would he do after he got there? Would he visit Xiao An'an and then plan their wedding with Fang Yuqing? If he didn't take a plane, he would take the train back to his hometown as planned.
It's already July, and it's time for me to go home.
After hesitating for a while, Cheng Xuyuan finally made up his mind to go home first.
After all, I haven’t been home since the Chinese New Year.
But returning to Yanjing is not a good choice.
After storing some gifts he brought from Hong Kong in his residence in the staff quarters of the Shanghai Film Studio, Cheng Xuyuan boarded a train to Changfeng County that evening.
Although the train has sleeper berths, it is still a bit hot inside.
Fortunately, at night, there was wind and it wasn't so unbearable.
It was around six in the morning when the car arrived in Changfeng County.
It was already bright, but the sun had not yet risen. There was still a hint of coolness in the early morning, which made Cheng Xuyuan feel very comfortable.
At this time, there were already quite a few small vendors selling things around the train station.
For example, there were people carrying baskets selling tea and eggs, and even people frying dough sticks and selling mutton soup.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Xuyuan felt a sense of emotion.
Four years ago, when he first took the bus, it was very cold and deserted.
But it should be more lively here in the future.
"Why not take the bus? It's only fifty cents to the bus station!"
"My car is fast and stable. It's new."
"Brother, tell me where you are going."
…
Four or five men pushing pedal tricycles were chattering and trying to solicit business from the people who got off the tricycles, and Cheng Xuyuan became their main focus.
Although Cheng Xuyuan didn't want to show off too much, his attire still made these people think he was a big customer.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at the tricycles and picked up a clean one. He then asked in a local accent, "Hey, buddy, how much does it cost to go to the staff quarters of the Education Bureau?"
The young man sitting on the tricycle heard Cheng Xuyuan's accent and immediately knew that he was a local.
He wanted to ask for more, but he immediately said honestly: "Go to the Education Bureau's staff quarters, give me fifty cents, and I'll take you there."
Fifty cents can actually be bargained for, and local people who frequently take the bus can usually bargain down to thirty cents.
But for Cheng Xuyuan, this is really nothing.
He said casually, "Let's go."
The man on the tricycle was delighted when he heard what Cheng Xuyuan said. Although 50 cents is not much, some temporary workers in the factory don't even get one yuan a day.
I only earned fifty cents this time, which is not a small amount.
So while pedaling forward, he said to Cheng Xuyuan: "Brother, where are you coming from?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I went to the East China Sea."
"Brother, are you from Nanguan Village or Dongguan Village?"
Nanguan Village and Dongguan Village are two villages on the edge of Changfeng County. Although there is not much land left now, they are still richer than most villages in the county.
After hearing Cheng Xuyuan asking about his situation, the man on the bike didn't dare to do anything rash.
He smiled and said, "I'm from Nanguan Village. My family got a small amount of land, so I came out to work and earn some money."
“It’s not that strict now.”
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "It would be nice if I could make some money."
"How many people are there in my family..."
While chatting and laughing, in just over ten minutes, Cheng Xuyuan arrived at Cheng Jiadong's house.
But unfortunately, there was no one at Cheng Jiadong's home.
Cheng Jiadong went to work and Li Xiu'e was not at home. As for his brother Cheng Xudong, no one knew where he had gone.
Fortunately, Cheng Xuyuan's arrival attracted the attention of many people in the family compound.
Soon, someone with sharp eyes recognized Cheng Xuyuan.
If you just say that you went to Yenching University, it would be impressive enough. But once you become a famous writer, a famous screenwriter, and...
In addition, Cheng Xuyuan had appeared on the news broadcast twice. Adding these things together, people soon surrounded him from all directions.
"Xuyuan, why are you just having a holiday?"
"Auntie, I had something urgent to do, so I came back late."
"Cheng Xuyuan, your aunt asked you about my niece before. Now my niece is back from vacation, why don't you meet her?"
"You are all college students, so you can chat with each other."
"Cheng Xuyuan, I heard that the movie you wrote won a big award in the United States. Do these awards pay?"
…
All kinds of problems made Cheng Xuyuan a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, just when he was about to be unable to answer, Cheng Jiadong came back.
Someone specifically found Cheng Jiadong and told him that Cheng Xuyuan had returned.
With the help of Cheng Jiadong, Cheng Xuyuan finally returned to the house. While drinking the water given by Cheng Jiadong, he said, "Uncle, your neighbors here are really warm and welcoming."
“I felt like I was so close to not being able to go home.”
Cheng Jiadong glared and said, "Enough, you are already grown up, and you are still talking nonsense here."
"Why didn't you call me when you came back so I could pick you up?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "It's very convenient to come here from the train station now. I can take a tricycle and come back in a short while."
Cheng Jiadong did not dwell on this. After listening to Cheng Xuyuan's talk about going to Hong Kong, he said solemnly: "Xuyuan, the last time your father and I went to Yanjing, we talked about your wedding with Yuqing."
"At that time, I thought that most of you and Yuqing's friends were in Yanjing, and you had to stay in Yanjing for work, so I decided to hold your wedding in Yanjing."
"But after you came back, your grandfather and several older people in the village thought that your wedding should be held in your hometown."
"Your father has been having a headache over this matter these past two days?"
"When you go back, why don't you talk to your grandfather and tell him that since you will be working in Yanjing in the future, this wedding can only be held in Yanjing."
"This way your dad won't have to worry about it."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Cheng Jiadong, who looked serious, and said with a smile, "Uncle, there's no need to be so embarrassed."
"My grandfather has objections, doesn't he? That's hard to say. Yuqing and I will hold our wedding in Yanjing first, and then we'll go back to our hometown to hold another one."
"It won't cost much anyway."
Cheng Xuyuan's choice is very normal for later generations.
But this matter is very new.
Besides the fact that many people think it is unnecessary, more importantly, holding a wedding costs a lot of money.
So from the perspective of saving money, you can't get married once and have two weddings.
When Cheng Jiadong heard Cheng Xuyuan's idea, he felt it was a bit ridiculous, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was possible.
After all, my nephew is not short of money!
"Xuyuan, has the date for the wedding in Yanjing been set?"
