Chapter 269 Going Home
Zhang Qiyuan's home is in a township under the jurisdiction of Yusa City. It is an old building that was built when Zhang Qiyuan was ten years old. Although it looks normal from the outside, the house is actually peeling paint and leaking.
Looking at the lights still on downstairs, Zhang Qiyuan knew that his parents were waiting for him. Before leaving, he called his parents and told them that he would attend a classmate's wedding tonight and would be home around twelve o'clock, so there was no need to prepare food for him.
If Zhang Qiyuan hadn't said that, his mother would definitely prepare food for him and wait for him to eat when he came back.
After getting off the car, Zhang Qiyuan took out the gifts he bought for his parents and sister, and Wang Yong helped Zhang Qiyuan take out the gifts and wine from the trunk.
"Dad, Mom, open the door."
Zhang Qiyuan shouted at the door.
There was a rustling sound, and then his mother opened the door of the main room while putting on her clothes.
"Come in quickly, it's raining now!" Yang Fenglan said hurriedly.
"Hello, Auntie." Wang Yong greeted her immediately.
"Mom, this is my friend Wang Yong. He and I just happened to be going the same way, so we came back together." Zhang Qiyuan introduced.
"Oh, hello, have you eaten? Do you want me to cook a few dishes for you?" Yang Fenglan said enthusiastically.
"No, no, Auntie. Qi Yuan and I came here right after we finished our meal. We're not hungry." Wang Yong waved his hand quickly.
"It's so late today, you can stay here for one night and leave tomorrow."
Hearing this, Zhang Qiyuan also looked at Wang Yong and said, "Yes, Brother Wang, it's still raining now. Stay with me for one night and leave tomorrow."
"No need. The weather has been cold these days. I feel that the road may be icy by tomorrow, which will make it even more difficult to walk on. It is better to walk quickly now while the road is not frozen yet." Wang Yong said.
"Then be careful on the road."
Zhang Qiyuan thought about it and didn't try to persuade him to stay.
"Okay, Qi Yuan, Auntie, I'll leave first and wish you a happy new year in advance." Wang Yong said politely.
"Oh, thank you. Are you really not staying overnight? Wouldn't it be unsafe to drive at night?" Yang Fenglan asked with some concern.
"It's okay. I've experienced this kind of situation many times. I'll leave first."
"be careful on the road."
After watching Wang Yong leave, Zhang Qiyuan handed the gift she had prepared to her mother, "Mom, this is a gift I bought for you and Dad. By the way, where's Dad?"
"You earn money easily, don't spend it recklessly. Your father and the monster have been waiting for too long, so I'll go to bed first."
Zhang Qiyuan nodded. He knew that his parents were selling buns in another city and they often had to get up at two or three o'clock to work. Their schedule was basically the same now. His mother was probably just holding on and waiting for him.
As for the monster, it was naturally his sister. Because his sister was usually very willful, everyone in the family gave her the nickname of monster.
"Mom, you should go and rest first." Zhang Qiyuan said to his mother with some concern.
"Well, you should go to bed early too." Yang Fenglan yawned.
Zhang Qiyuan placed the gift he bought for his sister on the wooden chair in the main hall, and then carried his suitcase to the second floor. There was a living room and a very long bedroom on the second floor. All old houses were like this. The rooms were very large, but the utilization rate was not high. His room was directly divided into two sections by a wardrobe, and a bed was placed in the back section to make it convenient for relatives and friends to stay overnight when they came.
After taking a shower, Zhang Qiyuan got into bed comfortably. Maybe it was because of the alcohol he had drunk before, but Zhang Qiyuan fell asleep quickly.
……
The next day, Zhang Qiyuan was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt like he was hit by something. Then the quilt became cold and a person crawled in.
Zhang Qiyuan woke up suddenly, and what caught his eye was the big teddy bear doll he brought for his sister yesterday.
"Monster, don't you have a bed of your own? Why are you running into my bed?" Zhang Qiyuan said with a look of disgust.
Then a little head popped out from under the quilt, with a fair, oval face and a pair of watery eyes under curved eyebrows.
"No, I want to come up and sleep." Zhang Aoyu said with a smile.
Zhang Qiyuan looked at the time. It was almost seven o'clock.
"How is it? Do you like the gift your brother bought for you?" Zhang Qiyuan glanced at the giant bear pressing on him. "I like it!" Zhang Aoyu rolled his eyes and said, "But I would like it even more if you bring me a sister-in-law."
"..."
Zhang Qiyuan was prepared for his parents to force him to go on a blind date, but he didn't expect that the pressure he felt on his first day back home would come from his sister.
"What do you know?" Zhang Qiyuan said unhappily.
"Who said I don't understand? There is a girl in our class who already has a boyfriend." Zhang Aoyu said as if you are out of date.
Zhang Qiyuan couldn't help but glare at his sister when he said this. "I'm telling you, you're not allowed to date before you're 18, or I'll break your legs."
"Tsk, I didn't say I did."
After giving Zhang Qiyuan a blank look, Zhang Aoyu took out his mobile phone and started watching Douyin.
"Look at your phone less. You're becoming nearsighted now." Zhang Qiyuan couldn't help but scold again.
"You're so long-winded. No wonder you can't find a girlfriend. Luckily your mother found one for you." Zhang Aoyu muttered.
Hearing this, Zhang Qiyuan couldn't help but glance at his sister and asked, "You know?"
"Of course, my aunt found someone for you. She's from their village. She's said to be the daughter of their village secretary."
Zhang Qiyuan was speechless, he knew that he would inevitably have to go on a blind date when he returned home, but he didn't expect it to be arranged so soon.
"Have you ever seen a monster?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"I just saw a photo. It's not pretty. It's a bit ugly."
"..."
Although his sister may not understand other aspects, when it comes to aesthetics, she is just like him and belongs to the appearance association. Since his sister said it is a bit ugly, then it may really be a bit ugly.
Thinking of this, he didn't even dare to go downstairs. He simply lay on the bed and looked at his mobile phone.
At this time, he saw on the news that some passenger trains in Seoul had been suspended due to freezing rain.
Seeing this, he was shocked and quickly stood up and looked out the window. The road was indeed frozen. He was a little worried about Wang Yong and immediately called Wang Yong, but no one answered the phone. This made him even more worried.
But there was nothing he could do. He estimated that Wang Yong must have arrived home very late and might be sleeping now. He could only wait for Wang Yong to call him back, or call again at noon.
After getting up, Zhang Qiyuan didn't plan to continue lying in bed. After putting on his clothes and washing up, Zhang Qiyuan was ready to go downstairs. Seeing this, Zhang Aoyu also insisted on going downstairs and asked Zhang Qiyuan to help her get her clothes.
Zhang Qiyuan shook his head. There was nothing he could do. His sister had to take care of herself, so he could only go downstairs to her room and bring her clothes upstairs. Then he went downstairs without waiting for her.
As soon as I went out, I saw his father chatting with some friends in the village.
"dad."
Zhang Qiyuan shouted.
"You're lucky enough to come back. Come, remember their phone number and have a good chat with them." As soon as he saw Zhang Qiyuan, his father Zhang Yaochang immediately took out his cell phone and said.
"Yes, Qi Yuan, let's have a good chat. It's not easy to find a wife nowadays."
"When pursuing a girl, you must be proactive and persistent."
"Then ask the girl out, watch a movie, sing some songs..."
Several of his father's good friends nearby began to share their experiences.
"..."
Zhang Qiyuan was speechless. If he had known this, he would not have gone downstairs.
