1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 396 Celebration, Daily Life, Time Passes
"Congratulations to Comrade Xiao Cheng for winning the nomination for the Literature Award!"

"I hope Comrade Xiao Cheng can win three literary awards at the awards ceremony on the 24th!"

"Come on! Let's have a toast!"

Xiaowei Hutong, Wutong Courtyard.

The girl's clear and gentle voice came from the half-open door, and one could vaguely hear the joy and smile that could not be concealed in her voice.

As Liu Xiaoli stood up first like the hostess to congratulate Cheng Kaiyan, Xu Yuxiu, Jiang Ting and the entire Zhan family also stood up.

"Ding Dong——"

Glass glasses filled with golden beer, black cola, and transparent white wine gathered together like flowers, making clear and pleasant sounds, like a winter stream washing over crushed ice.

Water droplets of different colors splashed and slid down the wall of the cup.

Then the wine glass blossomed like a flower.

“Thank you, thank you everyone.

"Let's sit down and eat. Every dish here is made by Xiaoli herself!"

Cheng Kaiyan drank the beer in one gulp, with a hint of joy on his face, and laughed loudly.

"Good good!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at the young couple in front of them with a smile.

"Xiao Li cooked the meal herself. We will definitely finish it all. Xiao Li's dishes taste better than Yu Xiu's!"

Aunt Wang Qiang picked up a piece of braised fish while speaking and ate it. She immediately liked the taste and praised it highly.

"The chicken cooked by Xiaoli is also delicious and spicy."

Zhan Wenlei put a chicken leg into her husband's bowl and said with a smile.

"Yeah yeah!"

Zhan Xinyu was holding the bowl and eating, not even bothering to look up.

"That's not the case, Auntie Wang. Auntie Xiu's cooking is much better than mine, right Kaiyan?"

When Liu Xiaoli heard everyone's praise, she quickly waved her hands. She was a little worried that Aunt Xiu would be angry.

"Ahem, the dishes cooked by Sister Xiaoli and my mom are both delicious, equally good and each has its own merits."

Cheng Kaiyan would not fall into any trap. To him, he would treat his wife and mother equally.

"Wang Qiang, you are always trying to make things difficult for my mother and me, right? But I still hope that Xiaoli's cooking is better than mine."

However, Xu Yuxiu glared at Wang Qiang in anger when she heard this, then turned to give Liu Xiaoli a gentle look and said with a smile: "Xiaoli said before the New Year that she would recognize me as her mother!"

"mom."

Liu Xiaoli shouted with a sweet smile.

"Hey!"

Xu Yuxiu responded.

"Hahaha!"

"Isn't it a matter of time?"

Everyone burst into laughter and joked about the relationship between the two.

Cheng Kaiyan's gentle gaze also fell on Liu Xiaoli.

In fact, it was not he who proposed today's dinner. In fact, when he learned that his work was shortlisted two days ago, he did not have any extra emotions except happiness.

Probably because he was still immersed in the creation of "Atonement".

The girl in front of him, whose smile was particularly bright and gentle, was extremely happy when she learned that all five of his works last year were shortlisted for the country's top three literary awards.

He enthusiastically arranged a celebratory banquet for him.

The purpose is to celebrate for Cheng Kaiyan and hope that he can return with great success at the upcoming award ceremony.

She prepared all the meals today, with her aunt and mother helping her.

It took the girl most of the day to prepare this huge table of dishes.

She still took some time off on Friday afternoon to cook for him.

How could his heart not beat fast against such a gentle, virtuous and lovely girl?
"call……"

Cheng Kaiyan looked at the girl's pretty profile, which had a luster as white as mutton-fat jade under the light, and her eyes were full of pity.

A faint and elegant fragrance emanated from the slender and beautiful body, and the sound of the girl's soft breathing came from her delicate nose.

All the beautiful things that belong to lovers reflected in her heart, making Cheng Kaiyan relax from her days of immersion in creation.

Cheng Kaiyan stared at the girl gently for a while, seeming a little infatuated.

Liu Xiaoli turned around and rolled her eyes at him. She whispered, "Why are you looking at me?"

At this time, the girl was sitting on a chair with her feet on the horizontal bar of the chair, and her tight legs under her jeans were together.

One of her snow-white arms rested on her knees, her palm supporting her snow-white breasts, and the other hand held chopsticks.

The girl felt happy as she saw everyone at the table look satisfied after eating the food she cooked.

"Eat some vegetables. I feel like you've lost some weight recently."

Cheng Kaiyan put some chicken into Liu Xiaoli's bowl and said in a gentle voice.

"Thank you."

Liu Xiaoli blinked, and her voice sounded soft and sweet, with a hint of sweetness if you tasted it carefully.

I came here to cook this afternoon as soon as I got off work. Although I am a little tired, I am still in a very happy mood.

When Liu Xiaoli saw that her comrade Xiao Cheng was nominated for the literature award, she was much happier than when she herself won the award for dancing!
Last year, she and Cheng Kaiyan met because of a letter of broken engagement, which was the beginning of all this.

At that time, she resolutely chose Cheng Kaiyan, her ex-fiancé whom she had never met, despite the disapproval of her friends, the misunderstanding of her teachers, and the criticism of others.

Little did she know that the girl was worried about meeting the wrong person, but also had a stubbornness that refused to accept defeat.

She wanted to let others see that her vision and preferences were absolutely correct, and that her own Comrade Xiao Cheng was a piece of gold!
Whether it's character or ability!

These three literary awards are the best summary of Comrade Xiao Cheng’s entire year last year.

It is also the best proof for Liu Xiaoli.

She hopes that all the works nominated by her comrade Xiao Cheng will win awards.

"And...if I remember correctly, the first romance novel you wrote, 'Love Letter', was also written after you started dating me, right?"

“It is said that when writers meet their loved ones, it inspires them with endless inspiration.”

"Comrade Xiao Cheng had a burst of inspiration this year and created many long works. Maybe it's all my credit!"

The girl's mind was in a whirlwind of thoughts. Her round, black and white eyes moved lively and agilely. She glanced at the young man next to her quietly, and many wonderful ideas flashed through her mind.

"Hum~"

The girl pursed her lips and raised her chin with some pride, the brilliance in her beautiful eyes was particularly dazzling.

"What's wrong? Are you drunk?"

Cheng Kaiyan looked at the girl's face, which was as white and delicate as white jade and had a faint cherry pink color. She thought that she was drunk after taking a sip of beer, and she teased with a smile.

"No."

Liu Xiaoli's wonderful idea was suddenly interrupted by Cheng Kaiyan, and she immediately frowned and denied it.

"Are you tired from practicing dancing during this period? You should make sure to rest... By the way, when will the competition for the top spot start?"

Cheng Kaiyan knew that this girl could get drunk after just one sip of wine and had a stubborn personality, so she didn't dwell on this topic for long.

Instead, he watched her eat and asked about her recent situation at school.

Both of them are career-focused people. They have been so busy lately that they have forgotten about time and haven't seen each other for a week or so.

"It's okay, but when it comes time to compete for the top spot, it's worth the effort. Probably next month..."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head. Last time, she lost to Lin Xingjie because of an accident involving Cheng Kaiyan.

But this time, I must not lose the position of principal dancer!

"What a pity! I won't be there by then... I won't be able to see you, Xiaoli, taking the top spot!"

"I'm so pitiful... My boyfriend went abroad to be intimate with another woman, and he can't even come to the first round..." "Wow..."

Liu Xiaoli covered her eyes, acted as if she was aggrieved and pitiful, and even pretended to cry a few times.

"Ah this..."

Cheng Kaiyan was stunned. It turns out that every woman has a dramatic side!

Half helplessly and half apologetically, he held the girl in his arms and gently patted her thin back.

The two chatted one sentence at a time. Although they were all ordinary trivial matters, they could make people feel calm.

The other people at the table did not disturb the couple's intimate conversation and just drank their own wine.

Uncle Zhan was talking about Zhan Wenlei's current painting situation and Zhan Xinyu's unsatisfactory high school grades.

The moon is above the willow trees outside, and the leisure time is wonderful.

……

The end of the Zhou Dynasty.

Cheng Kaiyan temporarily put aside the things at hand and made an appointment with Xiaoli.

The two went out for fun on Saturday morning, shopping and watching a movie.

In the afternoon, I checked the production of furniture and the decoration situation in Tuanjie Lake.

I went to the Wood Furniture Street to look at the furniture and found that Master Liu and his apprentices had already finished making most of the furniture.

At the same time, the kitchen cabinets at home were installed, and Cheng Kaiyan took back the keys.

He also took Sister Xiaoli to buy bowls, chopsticks, kitchen utensils, as well as gas tanks, gas stoves and other items and placed them in the cupboard.

In addition, the decoration of the house is basically completed.

The white putty on the wall has been scraped and puttyed.

The solid wood floor has also been laid. The floor is laid not with industrial glue, but with a special paste used in the old days, which is made by boiling animal leather and various materials. It does not have the formaldehyde pollution of later generations.

After more than ten days of ventilation and odor removal, the glue has been glued in place and can be cleaned.

Cheng Kaiyan felt sorry for her girlfriend who was going to school and practicing dancing, so she didn't let her clean. Instead, she let her sit down while she cleaned up the dust and decoration waste in the house.

The whole home looks brand new.

In the evening, sunlight shines in from the balcony, and the cool breeze from Tuanjie Lake in the distance blows over.

The house suddenly became clean and tidy, feeling very transparent and refreshing.

I have to say that this north-south transparent apartment is really comfortable.

"Huh... finally finished cleaning!"

Cheng Kaiyan held the broom, leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh.

The girl sitting on the small stool stood up and walked over. She took out a clean white handkerchief from her pocket, stood on tiptoe and wiped his sweat patiently and carefully. She smiled gently and joked:
"Thank you for your hard work today, Kaiyan. You, the great writer who holds the pen, have been diligent today and are willing to work hard to clean the place."

"I'm just worried that you'll be tired, right?"

Cheng Kaiyan waved her hands helplessly.

"I'm worried that you're tired."

Liu Xiaoli's round almond eyes curved, and her beautiful face was full of warmth.

Wipe off the sweat.

"Boom..."

The girl came over without any disgust and kissed Cheng Kaiyan twice on the lips as lightly as a dragonfly touching the water. Then, with her cheeks hot and a calm expression, she went to the bathroom to wash her handkerchief.

Cheng Kaiyan looked at the girl's slender back as she walked into the bathroom, and her heart felt particularly warm.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the spacious house, which already had the rudiments of a home.

He had never thought that one day he would fall in love with a girl, buy a house and furniture together, decorate the wedding house, and finally build a happy family.

In the future, they will sit on the sofa and watch TV, with his gentle and quiet wife Xiaoli doing electronic yoga on the right and their delicate and lovely daughter eating fruit in her arms.

When night came, he and Xiaoli went back to their room to rest. Their daughter ran in pitifully holding a small pillow, saying that she was scared and wanted to sleep with mom and dad.

Then he came in from the foot of the bed and arched his way between the two of them. After some playfulness, the family of three fell asleep sweetly.

Now... such a day is really not far away.

"Haha...that would be great."

Cheng Kaiyan looked up at the sunset outside the window, her eyes full of warmth and expectation.

"Kaiyan, I noticed that the floor is very soft. It's similar to the floor we use in our dance studio. It should be very suitable for dancing."

After a while, Liu Xiaoli came out and said in surprise.

In fact, cork flooring is not made of soft wood, but is made by pressing the bark of cork oak at high temperature.

"How about we dance together before we go home?"

Liu Xiaoli suggested.

“You can, but I won’t.”

"It's okay. I'll teach you. Can you be my dance partner from now on?"

Liu Xiaoli suddenly had an idea and looked at Cheng Kaiyan with her beautiful, watery eyes.

"I can't dance... I can dance with you at home, but forget about it outside."

Cheng Kaiyan shook her head, neither refusing nor agreeing.

The girl is currently pursuing classical dance, which does not require a partner like ballet.

But there are also couple dances and group dances.
However, Xiaoli already has a dance partner, who is actually Lin Xingjie, who has always disliked Cheng Kaiyan.

"Let's try it out, try this floor."

Liu Xiaoli really wanted to see Cheng Kaiyan dance, so she enthusiastically pulled Cheng Kaiyan to dance.

The result of the attempt is naturally that the floor is soft, comfortable and soundproof.

It’s just that Cheng Kaiyan stepped on her feet very frequently.

"Whee!"

But the girl was still very happy because Cheng Kaiyan was very accommodating to her.

So Liu Xiaoli stood on tiptoe, put her arms around his neck and gave him a moist and sweet kiss.

The tip of her small and nimble tongue boldly touched her lover's lips, but when Cheng Kaiyan wanted to catch her, she timidly hid back.

……

I rested at home on the weekend and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The two days of tenderness made Cheng Kaiyan reluctant to leave, and Liu Xiaoli was also reluctant to leave.

But on Monday morning, Liu Xiaoli calmly returned to dance practice, preparing for the chief assessment of the Beijing Dance Academy.

Cheng Kaiyan also adjusted her life rhythm while reading books and writing manuscripts, so as not to let writing affect her daily life.

The news that the work was nominated for three literary awards was widely circulated.

People are discussing how many major awards Cheng Kaiyan will win in the end since she has been nominated for so many works.

However, in this courtyard house in the corner of Dongcheng District, the neighbors were gossiping for the first two days, but after two days they started chasing new hot spots.

After all, literary awards and writers are too far away for them to understand.

If there wasn't really a great writer named Cheng Kaiyan living nearby, they probably wouldn't have talked at all.

What's most attractive is the little things about neighbors.

For example, an old man at the entrance of the alley broke his leg over the weekend. It was said that he was almost caught by the husband, and he was in a hurry to climb over the wall and ended up falling down.

The outside world was noisy and bustling, but Cheng Kaiyan's little house was exceptionally quiet.

Before we knew it, March 24th had arrived.

Today is the day for awarding the three major literary awards: the National Excellent Short Story Award, the National Excellent Novella Award, and the National Excellent Children's Literature Award.
