Chapter 560 Return to Beiping
Chapter 560 Return to Beiping
It was already afternoon when Zhao Cheng and Tian Dan came out of Uncle Xiao's house. Without any further delay, they went straight to Wei Hong's dormitory.
Although Wei Hong had been here for several years, she didn't have much luggage, just two full wicker boxes. After all, conditions were like this now, with less stuff, there weren't that many troublesome things. Unlike now, once you move, there's no truck that can't move it.
The four of them went directly to the airport, which was of course a civilian airport. Zhao Cheng could take a military plane by himself, but he couldn't do that with his family, after all, he had to save face.
Fortunately, Tian Dan and Zhao Cheng's levels were not low, so they were able to buy plane tickets. The four of them finally returned to their homes in Peking after dark.
When the children of the Zhao family saw their eldest sister coming back, except for Zhao Weiyang and Wei Yu who were a little happy, the others all looked sad.
"Sister, you come back at this time, aren't you going to get married?" Zhao Weiping asked in a low voice.
"Don't ask about adults' affairs! What's the matter? Are you so eager for me to get married? Do you think that once I get married, you can be free?" Wei Hong grabbed Zhao Weiping's ear and said with a grin.
"How could that be! I heard that your boyfriend broke up. I came here to check on you, but I have to say, your boyfriend is really not that good, not manly at all. Not to mention compared to dad, he's far inferior to my brother!" said Zhao Weiping.
"Your elder brother is not here, so how can you be so talkative? Have you done something bad and want your elder brother to take the blame for you?" Wei Hong asked with a smile.
"No, what trouble could I possibly cause?" Zhao Weiping was frightened by Wei Hong's words, and wondered how this elder sister became smarter after going out?
In fact, it was mainly because during this period, Zhao Weiping met a girl in the library whom he liked very much, and the girl also liked him very much, so the two of them are now in a confused stage and have not made it clear yet. Zhao Weiping wanted his elder brother to give him some advice.
"Sixth brother, you're not even twenty yet, and you want to get married so soon?" Wei Hong knew as soon as he saw his sixth brother's expression that this guy must have met a girl he liked, but he didn't know how to express it and didn't dare to, so he wanted to find someone for advice.
And he was the oldest in the family, so he couldn't ask the younger ones for advice, right? He couldn't ask his parents for advice either! So when he saw Wei Hong coming back, he wanted to ask his eldest sister for advice.
"Tell me, who is that man? Where does he live?" Zhao Weihong let go of Zhao Weiping's ear, patted his shoulder, and asked with a smile.
Zhao Weiping looked at the eldest and second mothers who were cleaning the room for Wei Hong. The third and fourth mothers were now in their advanced stages of pregnancy and were taking a careful walk in the backyard, so they were not in the middle yard.
When the other children saw their eldest sister coming back, they said hello and ran away. Those who needed to study went to study, and those who needed to play went out to play.
Only Zhao Weiyang and his younger sister were playing in the yard. After making sure that no one would eavesdrop on his conversation with his elder sister, Zhao Weiping told them the details.
It turned out that when he was looking for information in the library, he met a girl who was very pretty and Zhao Weiping fell deeply in love with her.
After a few chance encounters, Zhao Weiping learned that the girl's family was also from Beijing, living in Jiudaowan, Dongcheng District, and her parents were both teachers. The two were attracted to each other, but they hadn't said it out loud.
"What's the girl's name?" Wei Hong asked.
"Her name is Ye Fei! She is in her third year of high school and just turned 18 this year. She lives in Jiudaowan Hutong in Dongcheng District." Zhao Weiping whispered to his elder sister.
"Alright, kid! You've made it big! You know you can find a girlfriend? Well, ask that girl out tomorrow and I'll help you vet her. I just got back, so there's no need to rush to report in!" Zhao Weihong patted his brother's shoulder and said with a laugh.
"Wei Hong, what are you so happy about? What did Lao Liu say to you?" Suddenly, Zhao Cheng's voice came from behind them.
The two were startled, and Zhao Weiping looked at his elder sister with a pleading look. Wei Hong gave him a reassuring look before turning her head away.
"Dad, it's nothing. I'm just happy to see Xiaoliu'er! By the way, Dad, now that I'm back, isn't it too far to go back and forth to the hospital if I live at home? How about you buy me a house near the hospital?" Zhao Weihong was still very good at changing the subject.
"Buy it again? I have already bought you a two-story courtyard in Dashibei Hutong. That courtyard will belong to you and Wei Yang. Now you want me to buy it back for you? My dear daughter, what do you think our family is? A landlord and rich man?" Zhao Cheng looked at his daughter in surprise and said in disbelief.
"You give the house to Wei Yang and Wei Yu, and I will buy one near the hospital, otherwise I will have to go there every day!" Zhao Weihong took great pains to prevent her father from noticing her conversation with Xiao Liuer.
"The Army General Hospital is near Dongzhimen, and our home is near Xizhimen. They are not close to each other. Are you sure you want it?" Zhao Cheng looked at his eldest daughter and said, holding his forehead.
"Look at what you said, no matter how far it is, it is not as far as Jianye, right? Didn't you carry me back just the same? This is one east and one west, the distance is very close! Oh, Dad, just buy one for me, I don't want to get up so early every day, and I don't want to live in the dormitory anymore!" Zhao Weihong grabbed Zhao Cheng's arm and shook it.
"Stop! I'll buy it! Okay! But there are a lot of slums over there, or a lot of government land. If you want to buy a small courtyard, you have to be cautious. You may not know if there is a chance!" Zhao Chengzhi said.
It's true that there are a lot of houses there now, but most of them are still shanty towns or warehouses. Shanty towns are basically converted from the courtyards of wealthy businessmen, and the property rights are complicated, making it difficult to buy a house.
"What could possibly stump my dad? Right? Just think of a way!" Wei Hong continued to act coquettishly.
"Alright, I give in. I didn't buy you a yard near the Shichahai Sea, but you insisted on going to Dongzhimen. How about being far away from home and having more freedom?" Zhao Cheng quickly broke away from his daughter's entanglement and agreed. He muttered as he walked.
"Sister, it has to be you!" Zhao Weiping looked at his elder sister, who got a yard from his father in a short while. He had to give a thumbs up to Wei Hong.
Originally, the third brother told him that in our family, daughters are popular and have everything they want, and we sons can only pick up what is left over from them.
He still didn't quite believe it, because the houses in the yard were all one room per person, which was not enough. His father even bought a yard next door and connected them together, right?
As a result, today he finally saw it. If it were me, I bought it for you and you wanted to move? Dream on!
"Well, that's it. Remember to ask the girl out tomorrow and show her to me so I can give her an evaluation!" Wei Hong said proudly to Zhao Weiping.
