Chapter 116 - Single (1/2)

Zhang Fan had quite an awkward time in his last several days in the respiratory department. There wasn't much he could say about who was in the right or wrong.

It was now the end of May. Zhang Fan's younger sister would soon be taking her college entrance examination. Zhang Fan was preparing to take vacation time to visit home.

Zhang Fan had been eating dinner at Shao Hua's home quite often now. The food was delicious, and the nutrition was balanced! The previously skinny Zhang Fan was gaining more weight now. Although he could also eat his fill at the hospital cafeteria previously, the food wasn't nearly as delicious. It could only fill his stomach. But at Shao Hua's home, he was able to eat dumplings, buns, noodles, rice, and so on. Shao Hua's family definitely wouldn't let him eat the same thing within a week. In addition, Shao Hua and her mother both remembered Zhang Fan's favorite foods.

After dinner, Zhang Fan and Shao Hua took a walk outside together. ”It's the end of May, and I'm going to visit my hometown soon. Have you considered things?” Zhang Fan asked.

”Oh! I don't know!” Shao Hua's face was red as she looked down at her feet. ”Do you want me to go with you?”

”Of course, I want you to come with me so much! I think that my parents would be overjoyed to meet you!”

”I think that it's more you that would be overjoyed!” Shao Hua had actually already discussed this topic with her parents. Although her parents had agreed that she could go, her mother had privately lectured Shao Hua yet again about the importance of not having sex before marriage for the sake of remaining pure!

”Yeah! Of course I'd be overjoyed!” Zhang Fan wanted to embrace Shao Hua out on the street, but she escaped his clutches.

”Walk properly. I still have serious matters to discuss with you,” Shao Hua told him.

”Okay. Say it.”

”Will you always treat me this well in the future as well?” Shao Hua asked while directly looking at Zhang Fan.

”Yes, I will.”

”What about when I'm old and no longer so beautiful?”

”I didn't pursue you because of how beautiful you were or not!” Well, Zhang Fan said the wrong thing here, so Shao Hua started hunting him down.

The two of them messed around for a bit. Then, Zhang Fan said, ”My family's financial situation isn't so good, but since I was lucky enough to earn such a nice sum of money, I'm going to discuss things with them after my younger sister finishes taking her college entrance examination. I'm going to invite my parents to come live with me in Chasu City since this is an urban area rather than the poor part of town where they live back home.”

”Yes, you should do that. You need to hurry up and finish renovating your new home so that your parents can live in a new home, then,” Shao Hua told him.

”It might be difficult. It's likely that they won't want to come here.”

”Then what will you do?” Shao Hua asked worriedly.

”I was thinking that if my parents don't want to come to Chasu City, then I'll use the 300,000 yuan that I received to purchase a new home for them in our hometown. Is that alright with you?” Although Zhang Fan hadn't gotten married to Shao Hua yet, he felt that such a major decision was something he should discuss with her.

”Will that be enough money? I heard that it's not cheap to purchase a home in inland China. I've saved up approximately 50,000 yuan over the past two years of working. I'll transfer that money to your account when you go visit your parents.”

”Rich girl!”

”You dare to make fun of me!” Shao Hua began to tickle Zhang Fan.

”Thank you for the offer! But, it shouldn't be that expensive to purchase a home in my hometown!”

”Didn't you just say that we shouldn't separate our finances so clearly, and that money should be shared? Why suddenly act so polite with me?”

”Haha! Then I'll happily accept your money. Also, I want to drive all the way back to my hometown, what do you think?”

”That's fine with me, but I don't think I can get as much vacation time as you. How about this? I'll come back earlier by plane. But, I'm worried about you driving back by yourself,” Shao Hua said.

”Vacation time for you isn't a problem at all. Just go talk to Sister Wang.”

”It isn't good to trouble others!”

”Relax. It's just as simple as issuing a command for her.”

Shao Hua returned home and discussed the matter of visiting Zhang Fan's parents with her own parents in more detail. Her parents both agreed to let Shao Hua go, and told her to mind her etiquette so that she would give Zhang Fan's parents a good first impression.

Since it was now decided that she would visit Zhang Fan's hometown, and that they would travel there by car, Shao Hua began all the preparations for the food and drink on the road trip, where to stop at, and so on. Zhang Fan had no thoughts about any of this whatsoever. He figured that they could just stop wherever they wanted along the way. This was probably a difference between a man's and woman's way of thinking.
