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

Literary works have no national boundaries!

Moreover, whether in China or abroad, popular and best-selling works often cannot be separated from one factor!
That is: spirit and flesh, passion and lust!
Feng's mother did indeed oversee the entire process of Cheng Xuemin's published works in China, and she knew that her son-in-law's writing was different from that of other writers.

Her son-in-law's article can be summed up in one word: clean!

Yes, Mrs. Feng felt that the articles her son-in-law wrote, whether it was "The Herdsman," "The Appointment of Factory Director Qiao," "Parents' Love," "Ordinary World," or "Wreath Under the Mountain," which had just been published not long ago, were all excellent.

The mother-in-law's opinion of her son-in-law's writing is that it's clean!

Unlike those old-fashioned writers who use romance and sex to grab attention, her son-in-law's articles are very clean throughout, almost without any eroticism. Even when he writes about the love between educated youth and the love between parents, he expresses it through his clean words, portraying a purer and more profound love.

So, when I heard from her sister that her son-in-law's manuscript was about an affair between a young man and a married woman, he even described it as gripping and unforgettable.

But Feng's mother still firmly believed that her son-in-law's articles were as clean as ever.

It certainly wasn't intended to grab readers' attention with such offensive language.

Even so, her sister's words still planted a seed in Feng's mother's heart, just as an article can reflect a writer's inner thoughts.

So, could it be that her son-in-law has a special fondness for young women?
No wonder her debt-collecting devil was so confident in her man during her pregnancy, and didn't care at all about his interactions with other women.

Especially that female classmate named Gong Xue, and the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, were once unable to get out of the drama and were infatuated with their son-in-law to the point of obsession.

Moreover, the Zhu family has been arranging blind dates for their eldest daughter recently, but she's already twenty-six or twenty-seven and doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all. She doesn't even glance at the men they introduce her to.

This caused the Zhu family a lot of worry, turning their hair white. Feng's mother had encountered this several times before and had complained to her about it many times.

They also asked Feng's mother to help find a suitable match. Daughters grow up and can't stay at home forever; their eldest daughter really can't be left behind, and it's going to be a real worry for them, the mothers.

Therefore, twenty-six or twenty-seven is the golden age for a young married woman!
Her eldest daughter is now spending all her time with her son-in-law filming movies. Won't that cause problems?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Feng's heart skipped a beat. She was determined to go back and remind her daughter to keep a close eye on her husband!
Cheng Xuemin had no idea that he had deliberately taken a detour to Yanjing Roast Duck to pack some hot dishes and roast duck to take back to his aunt who had just returned from abroad.

His mistress actually betrayed him!

Yes!

Because of the direct literary differences between the two countries, Cheng Xuemin, who was used to writing serious works in China, did indeed add color to the manuscripts he submitted to foreign publications.

Not to mention that the book I submitted to my aunt, "Happy Life in Sicily," is an American literary work that is quite erotic and contains elements of promiscuity, which is more likely to attract the attention of American readers and earn me more dollars in royalties.

Moreover, the articles Cheng Xuemin submitted to Playboy were even more daring.

Therefore, Cheng Xuemin, oblivious to the consequences, has yet to realize that he submitted a manuscript containing erotic content to his wife's aunt, who then read it thoroughly and has now returned to China.

The reason I dared to write so directly and submit it outside was because I was certain that my wife wouldn't understand what was written inside.

At the time, Cheng Xuemin only told his wife that it was an American love story.

She wasn't afraid at all that American readers might come back and give feedback to her wife about what kind of love story it was.

Unexpectedly, an American reader returned, and it turned out to be his wife's aunt.

If this aunt were to tell her daughter-in-law about this American love story that earned her over 60,000 US dollars, and what kind of love it was, Cheng Xuemin wouldn't know how to respond.

Of course, Cheng Xuemin, who was slow to realize these things, had not yet come to that realization.

He didn't even notice that his mother-in-law's gaze and the atmosphere in the car had changed.

There was hardly any conversation after that, and we got home in no time!
"Sister, where is this?"

Seeing her nephew-in-law park the car in front of a large house she didn't recognize, Aunt Gu Qiuna, who had just gotten out of the car, asked in surprise.

“You know about our old house; we handed it over to the government a long time ago!” Feng’s mother explained to her, and continued, “Not long after, we moved down there. When we returned to the city last year, your brother-in-law and I were still renting a backyard place from Lao Qian!”

"This house was bought by Xuemin for Jiayou. It's a two-courtyard house. Your brother-in-law and I, along with our families, will move here to live with them!"

Gu Qiuna's face turned worried upon hearing this. Her older sister's condition had actually started when she and her older brother went out.

Unexpectedly, this situation has continued until now. Before returning to the city to resume work, I was still renting a house from Lao Qian's family.

This solidified Gu Qiuna's resolve, and she whispered in her sister's ear, "Sister, when I come back this time, I will definitely buy you an apartment in the Overseas Chinese Apartments!"

"This is a token of our appreciation from my brother and me, you and your brother-in-law absolutely cannot refuse it!"

Seeing the sincerity in her younger sister's words, Mrs. Feng felt very gratified, but she still stubbornly said, "Actually, there's no need to waste that money. Your brother-in-law's house will be allocated soon!"

When Lao Feng worked at the Foreign Languages ​​Press, he should have been allocated a house, but out of consideration for the widow of his old comrade-in-arms, he gave up his right to be allocated a house to her.

However, her husband, Lao Feng, has now been transferred to Haizi Village. Knowing the great kindness of Lao Feng in giving up his house, his work unit has already arranged housing for him and is currently going through the procedures!

As she spoke, Mrs. Feng added, "Moreover, Xuemin and Jiayou have already bought an apartment in the Overseas Chinese Apartments!"

"What? Xuemin even bought Jiayou an apartment in the Overseas Chinese Apartments?"

When Gu Qiuna, the sister-in-law, heard her sister's refusal, she didn't take it seriously. She said that her brother-in-law's workplace would soon allocate housing, since the housing hadn't been allocated yet and the whole family was still crammed into her son-in-law's house.
So this house still needs to be bought for my older sister and her family!
Unexpectedly, her older sister added another sentence, which surprised Gu Qiuna even more.

My sister's son-in-law is just too capable, isn't he?

It's one thing to buy such a large two-courtyard house for the family, but to also buy her older sister a villa in the Overseas Chinese Apartments?
My goodness!
Wow, wow, my sister's son-in-law is really something else. Gu Qiuna wondered if she was wrong not to get married and have children.

If she had a daughter and she could find a son-in-law as capable as her older sister, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?
"Let's not talk about that now. We're home, come inside quickly! Mom and Dad will be so happy to see you back!"

Feng's mother's urging made Aunt Gu Qiuna feel uneasy instantly; this is exactly the kind of feeling that comes with the saying "the closer you get to home, the more timid you become."

"Sis, you really didn't tell Mom and Dad I was coming back beforehand?"

"Sis, do you think Mom...won't recognize me like this?!"

"Sister, I...I..."

She was so nervous that her voice was choked with emotion. Having been away from home for twenty years and not having seen her parents' faces, Gu Qiuna was worried that she would not have the chance to see her parents again if she hadn't learned about the situation from her older sister beforehand.

When they left, no one expected they would see each other again.

On that day of parting, whether it was the parents or the children, everyone thought it was goodbye forever.

Fortunately, she finally returned today, and her parents were both alive and well. All of this was a blessing, but at this moment, Gu Qiuna's legs were not very obedient and were trembling.

"Mom, Dad, come out quickly and see who's back!" Feng's mother, not wanting her to wait outside the door, immediately helped her up and pulled her up the steps, then called out into the courtyard.

"Why did you come back in the middle of the day? Don't you have to work this afternoon?! I was preparing lunch with my mother-in-law..."

"Dangdang!"

In the courtyard, Grandma Cheng and her mother, Qin Guilan, were picking vegetables and preparing lunch.

Hearing her daughter calling from the doorway, the grandmother didn't take it seriously and just waved to the door.

But before she could finish speaking, she saw her daughter come in with a figure in her arms. The old woman was surprised at first, but when she saw what the person looked like, her face trembled instantly, and the vegetable bowl she was holding fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Yes, yes, yes...is it Nana?" The old lady's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she called out softly, her voice trembling and choked with sobs.

"mom!"

"The unfilial daughter Nana is back!"

Aunt Gu Qiuna was helped into the yard by her sister. When she suddenly saw the old woman in the yard, her face froze for a moment. Then, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. At her mother's soft call, she couldn't help but collapse and kneel down, shouting.

"Nana?! Nana? Is it really my Nana who's back?!"

"Is it really my Nana who's back?"

The old lady couldn't believe it and rushed over, muttering to herself as she did so.

"Mom! It's me! Your unfilial daughter has returned!"

Ok!

The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, and even the mother-in-law, Mrs. Feng, did the same, hugging each other tightly and crying their hearts out!

Upon seeing this, Cheng Xuemin thought to himself, "This was bound to happen!"

Previously, at the Friendship Hotel, my mother-in-law and aunt were still somewhat restrained, since we were out in public!
But now that I'm back home, the only way to express the longing and yearning I've felt after more than twenty years apart is to let my emotions run wild.

Cheng Xuemin walked over to his mother, Cheng Mu, and saw that she couldn't bear to watch the scene and was secretly wiping away tears. So he picked up the little squirrel and played with it to distract it.

"Who's back!?"

"Who's back? Is it Nana?"

The old man, who was watching over things inside, was startled by the noise outside.

Why did his wife suddenly start crying, and his daughter Xueqing was also crying? Something was wrong!
The old man was so startled that he rushed out to see what was going on. Before he even left the room, he heard someone mentioning the name "Nana." He was instantly jolted awake. Could it be his youngest daughter, who had said she was going back to China at the end of the month, and she had returned?

"Grandpa, Auntie is back. Mom and I just picked her up from the Friendship Hotel!" Cheng Xuemin said to his grandfather while teasing the little squirrel.

"father!"

Just as Cheng Xuemin finished speaking, his aunt saw his grandfather and exclaimed in surprise.

That shout almost brought the old man's soul to his head!
Lianlian leaned on his crutch, but his legs wouldn't obey him, and he couldn't take a single step.

Tears streamed down the old man's face as he stared at the mother and her two daughters embracing each other. Wasn't that his youngest daughter, Nana, who had returned?
Twenty years!

It had been a full twenty years since the father and daughter last met!
The grandparents thought they might never see their two children living overseas again in their lifetime.

"Good, good, Nana is back!?"

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

The old man stood there, tears streaming down his face, and choked out his words.

"Grandma, Mom, please let Auntie come in and sit for a while!"

Seeing his aunt kneeling on the ground, and his mother-in-law and grandmother squatting there as well, Cheng Xuemin couldn't just keep watching, so he quickly tried to persuade her.

"Oh right, right! Mom, let Qiu Na get up first and come inside to sit down!" Mother-in-law Feng also came to her senses and said.

With the help of Feng's mother and aunt, the old lady went into the house and cried with the old man again.

It's good to have a good cry!
Cheng Xuemin didn't bother them anymore and started talking with his mother in the yard.

"That's Aunt Jiayou?!"

"I can't believe it! If I didn't know better, I would have thought it was Jiayou's older sister!"

When Cheng's mother, Qin Guilan, first saw her aunt, she was truly amazed by her fashionable attire, and she couldn't tell at all that her aunt was almost forty years old.

If outsiders ask, no one would doubt that she and her daughter-in-law, Feng Jiayou, are sisters!

“She’s from America, her capitalist lifestyle is so good, she takes such good care of herself!” Cheng Xuemin nodded, then joked with his mother, “I’ll have her aunt help me buy some skincare and cosmetic products for you, Mom, so you can look just like her and regain your youthful glow!”

"Rejuvenated to eighteen? Really?" Mother Cheng was skeptical, but the anticipation and excitement in her eyes were undeniable!

“It’s definitely true. When you stand next to Jiayou, people will say you look like sisters, not like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!” Cheng Xuemin continued to joke with a smile.

"Go away, how can you make fun of your mother like that?" Cheng's mother realized that her eldest son was teasing her, and she angrily punched him on the shoulder.

If his wife, Feng Jiayou, heard this, she would roll her eyes and ask, "What? You all use me as a benchmark, right? Just because I stand next to someone doesn't mean we're sisters!"
At that point, Cheng Xuemin could only reply, "Wife, in my eyes you will always be the most beautiful and best-looking eighteen-year-old, that's why I used you as a comparison!"

"Brother-in-law, you're back? I saw your car parked at the door... What happened inside?"

As luck would have it, my sister-in-law, Feng Jiamo, came home from school for lunch.

"Your aunt is back!"

Cheng Xuemin replied, thinking to himself, "You've come back just in time. Let's go inside and have a good cry together!"

Oh, honey, you're back too?

Let's go together!
