1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 242: Housing problem, starting to get tense again (seeking full order

Of course, Cheng Xuemin didn't let his wife really go to her mother to "report the good news". After helping Feng Jiayou wash the little one, Cheng Xuemin finally calmed down and started creating.

"Xuemin, you still need to write so late?"

Feng Jiayou looked at her man, then sat back at his desk, looking at his charming back, and asked, "Don't be too distressed."

"Well! Write something. It's too late to write." Cheng Xuemin nodded and responded.

It was already past ten o'clock, but Cheng Xuemin didn't have the habit of going to bed early. He was thinking that Lu Yao and others from Yanhe Literature would come over tomorrow, so he prepared the theme song of "Loess Plateau" that he had promised them.

"Then I'll take my son to bed first, so don't stay up too late!"

Feng Jiayou carefully put the little one in her arms down and whispered something to her husband, fearing that she would wake up the little one who had just fallen asleep.

She was flapping her fan to drive away mosquitoes for her baby son, and her energy was being tortured!

"Wife, let me fan you. I'll write after you fall asleep!"

Cheng Xuemin looked back and felt heartbroken instantly. He simply put down the pen in his hand, climbed onto the bed of Feng Jiayou and her son, took the palm-leaf fan and said.

"Aren't you supposed to write something, Xuemin? Don't let this interfere with your work!"

"It's okay. Actually, I can write it tomorrow morning as well!"

It would take Cheng Xuemin less than half an hour to write the lyrics and compose the music for the song "Loess Plateau", and he could write it tomorrow morning.

"Well, you go and fan your son. I'm too tortured to have the energy to do that anyway!"

Feng Jiayou was not polite either. She had taken care of the baby for a whole day and was in confinement after giving birth, so she was really exhausted.

"Xuemin, can you tell me about what happened at the award ceremony today?"

"Okay!"

Cheng Xuemin has made his wife accustomed to telling her stories before bedtime these days, and she can't fall asleep without him telling her stories.

So over the past half month, Cheng Xuemin first started by talking about his performance in the south, and basically told Feng Jiayou all his experiences and what happened.

Now Cheng Xuemin began to talk to the woman who was squinting her eyes and waiting to listen, starting from today when he entered the Great Hall of the People.

No one knew when Feng Jiayou fell asleep, but Cheng Xuemin did not dare to stop fanning him.

Because he knew his son's character. If he was not sleeping soundly, he would wake up as soon as his father stopped fanning him!

So, looking at the mother and son sleeping soundly, Cheng Xuemin continued to fan them to consolidate his results.

Then Cheng Xuemin simply spread the manuscript paper on the bamboo mat, put a People's Literature magazine underneath, and began to fan the mother and son while composing the lyrics of "Loess Plateau" in his mind and copying them out for Zhiwu.

This time, there was no singer around who could compose music just by listening to it, so I decided not to hide my incompetence and simply copied out the music score.

After consolidating for more than half an hour, Cheng Xuemin's hands were almost sore. He would stop from time to time to test the reactions of the mother and son.

After seeing that he was completely asleep, Cheng Xuemin put down his hands and sang "Loess Plateau", a classic northern Shaanxi song that was very catchy and widely sung in his previous life. It can be said that Cheng Xuemin "wrote" it.

We can give it to Mo Shen at Xi'an Film Studio tomorrow and ask him to take it back to the studio to try it out. There shouldn't be any problems.

It’s a pity that in this day and age, I wonder if I can get any royalties for writing songs and composing music?
I don’t think so!
When Cheng Xuemin was getting ready to go to bed, he found that the light in the main room outside the house was still on. Cheng Xuemin went out to take a look and saw that his sister was still studying hard!
"Sister, go to bed early! There's no need to be so nervous, it's just a mock exam!"

Cheng Xuemin came out and whispered to his sister that among the women in the family, his sister might not be the smartest one, but she was definitely the most hardworking.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to catch up with my second sister-in-law and cousin with the worst foundation.

"Are the little squirrel and the kid asleep?"

When Cheng Wenxiu saw that it was Cheng Xuemin who came out, she also whispered a word of concern.

"Everyone is asleep!"

Cheng Xuemin replied to his sister and urged her to go to bed quickly as she had three exams to take tomorrow.

Although the results of the mock exam do not mean anything, being in a good state and doing well in this adaptation test can also give his sister a lot of confidence.

His sister responded softly, and then they packed up and went back to their rooms to rest.

The first half of the night was indeed hot and muggy.

Fortunately, the hot weather cooled down in the second half of the night, so Cheng Xuemin and his wife were able to sleep soundly until dawn.

Today is Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Feng are all at home resting and not working. My elder sister, second sister-in-law, and younger sister-in-law are all going to study for the exams.

Originally, Feng's father and mother had agreed to go to Xiao'anshan in the suburbs of Beijing to pick up their grandparents.

The bus from Feng's father's unit was also loaned out and was waiting outside the yard early in the morning.

However, there are guests coming to the house today, my elder sister and her friends have to take exams, and the family has to take care of Feng Jiayou during her confinement, so Feng's mother only let Feng's father go alone.

The room where grandpa and grandma came to live had already been vacated by Feng's mother and eldest sister-in-law! Originally, Cheng Xuemin's sister wanted to give up the west wing in the backyard to grandpa and grandma to live in, so that they could take care of Feng's young mother and son nearby.

However, there are six rooms in the front yard. In addition to the two main rooms, the east and west wing rooms, which are occupied by Feng's father and mother, and his elder brother and sister-in-law respectively, in addition to the ear room, there are also two quite large side rooms.

So Feng's mother's arrangement was to choose a side room for her parents to live in. Since they only wanted the front yard, the back yard would have to be left for Cheng Xuemin and his family.

Otherwise, it would not look good to occupy the two main houses in the front and back yards. After all, the house was bought by the son-in-law Cheng Xuemin with his own money, and they were just living there temporarily.

After my elder and second uncles are separated and each of them applies to their units for housing arrangements, the situation should be better.

Speaking of housing arrangements, we have to mention that his father-in-law is really conscious!
It may also be that he has just been promoted and it is not easy to force him to do so!

The housing quota that was originally in their hands was given to them by the father-in-law due to his over-consciousness, and he gave it to an old comrade who had just returned to the city, saying that the old comrade's family situation was worse than theirs.

As a result, Feng's mother's plan to move was completely ruined!
Feng's mother was so angry that she really wanted to lose her temper. People have just returned to the city and have nowhere to live, and you, Old Feng, are so sensible that you should give up your housing quota?

You, Old Feng, are lucky to have a good son-in-law, otherwise why are you still renting Old Qian's house at this time? !

Besides, the Feng family has just returned to the city and are able to rent a house. They don’t put pressure on the unit and have a high level of awareness. Why should others who return to the city be directly arranged with housing?
So Feng's mother was so angry that she wanted to divide the family directly. She definitely couldn't expect her, a man who was obsessed with power, to get a share of the house.

Send the eldest and second sons away and let them apply for housing arrangements at their own units. As many as can be arranged for them. Don’t let the Feng family end up relying on their son-in-law for food and accommodation!

This happened not long after Cheng Xuemin went south to express condolences. When Cheng Xuemin came back, his wife Feng Jiayou mentioned it to him.

There is nothing special about Cheng Xuemin's place. After all, the yard is so big and there are so many houses, so it is actually quite lively for the whole family to live together.

Besides, Feng Jiayu is in confinement after childbirth and the little one needs someone to take care of him. Living together will at least provide some support.

Of course, Cheng Xuemin also made private preparations to visit the Overseas Chinese Apartment next door.

If there is a suitable house, Cheng Xuemin doesn't mind spending the foreign exchange coupons in his hand to buy an apartment.

At that time, the yard will be left for my father-in-law and his family to live in, and Cheng Xuemin and his wife will move to the apartment building.

Anyway, it's just a few steps away, and you can eat and drink here at ordinary times. I just want to go there to sleep at night, and continue to build our own world for the two of us.

It would not be too much to have two or three more children before the national family planning policy was implemented.

Unfortunately, neither the Cheng family nor the Feng family has the gene for twins, otherwise they would have accomplished the mission by having twins twice.

"Mom, my sister has moved her things next door, and she said she has vacated the room for grandpa and grandma!"

Before my elder sister went out to take the exam, she went into Cheng Xuemin's room and mentioned the matter to Feng Jiayou in the room.

Still the same reason as before!
She said that in the next two days, she and Xiaolian would take Qingwa back to their hometown in northern Shaanxi. Since the house would be empty anyway, they might as well let their grandparents move in to save the trouble of the next two trips.

"Why is Wenxiu like this? Didn't she say that when she returns to Yanjing after taking the college entrance examination, your sister and brother-in-law will come over with her?"

Feng's mother was shocked when she heard this. It was already an agreed matter, so why did her sister Cheng Wenxiu vacate the house again?
"Mom! Just move in when the room is vacated! My sister and brother-in-law will probably not live at home after they come back from the exam!"

Cheng Xuemin knew his sister's temper. Now that the room was vacated, then let it be!
Moreover, I don’t know what the arrangements will be after the college entrance examination!
As for his sister Cheng Wenxiu, there is definitely no big problem. The one who is a little worried is her brother-in-law who is reviewing on his own at home.

Of course, I don’t expect my brother-in-law, who is studying at home, to be admitted to Yenching University, but I think it would be good if he could be admitted to Yenching University together with his sister.

If my brother-in-law can also be admitted to Yanjing University, no matter which university it is, they can live at home and go to school. This way they can take care of Qingwa's schooling and help take care of Feng Jiayou and her son.

If my brother-in-law fails to get into Yanjing University, his sister may not come to Yanjing and will choose to go to university in the provincial capital.

After all, they are a couple and have been separated for nearly half a year. It's hard enough for them!
If they go to college in different places, it will be a challenge for their marriage.

Of course, the relationship between couples in this era should be very simple, and there are many couples who are separated from each other for a long time.

Especially in the previous period, it was almost common for couples to be separated at the same time.

Cheng Xuemin's mother-in-law and father-in-law were not in the same place, not even in the same region.

The two were separated for seven or eight years, and only returned to the city last year.

The same thing happened to my eldest brother-in-law and his wife. They were not together in the first year. It was after my sister-in-law went down the mountain that she found out she had been pregnant for some time. The poor and difficult living conditions led to her losing the baby and almost losing her life. That's why she was transferred to live with my eldest brother-in-law.

My second uncle and his wife were quite lucky. They had been together since the beginning, and when they returned to the city, they brought back a pair of children, who were loved by Mr. and Mrs. Feng.

This is not!

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Feng's mother could only acquiesce to her son-in-law's family's favor. She took her grandchildren who were at home and did not go to class, and Cheng Xuemin's nephew Qingwa, to the street to buy vegetables.

Before leaving, Cheng Xuemin mentioned to Feng's mother that they would not have lunch at home!
Cheng Xuemin planned to wait for Lu Yao and the others to come over, and then treat them to a meal at the Changzheng Hotel over there while they were touring the Yanda campus.

They have come all the way to Beijing, so Cheng Xuemin should at least treat them to a meal, right?
After hearing this, Feng's mother nodded and said that if the conditions allowed, they should indeed go to a restaurant.
