The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Chapter 196 Everyone’s Envy

At noon, Zhao Dongchuan had a delicious meal prepared by Guo Ping and Tian Runye.

In the afternoon, Tian Runye started helping Guo Ping with housework, cleaning, washing clothes, etc., leaving Zhao Dongchuan no chance to intervene.

But he knew that this was a way for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to communicate with each other.

Through this interaction, the two people gradually deepen their understanding of each other, which is a process of building feelings.

Guo Ping naturally brought Tian Runye to appear in the courtyard.

Seeing that Runye was not only beautiful but also hardworking, everyone couldn't help but praise her and said that Zhao Dongchuan was lucky to marry a good wife.

I heard that Runye is a teacher in a primary school in the county town and has a proper job, which makes all the young and old masters in the courtyard extremely envious.

What can I say? She is beautiful, has a good figure, is virtuous, and has a decent job. When these factors are added together, no man can resist being attracted.

"Alas, this Xiao Zhao is really lucky. I don't know why Runye likes him... He's just handsome, a pretty boy..."

He Zhu stood with his hands behind his back looking at Tian Runye who was surrounded by everyone, his saliva almost flowing out. He thought that he was a few years older than Zhao Dongchuan, and was still a bachelor, and no one was willing to help him.

Qin Xiaoru looked at Tian Runye and felt very envious.

I envy her for having a complete family and sensible parents-in-law. Zhao Dongchuan, this young man, is handsome and educated. He also has a decent job in the city and his conditions are no worse than Runye's.

Unlike me, I lost my husband, lived alone, and had to serve that old woman.

Thinking of this, she became sad, picked up the wooden basin and went back to the house, not wanting to see these things again...

Towards evening, Zhao Zhengguo got off work and pushed his bicycle into the yard.

"Old Zhao, you are so lucky..."

"Mr. Zhao, congratulations, congratulations, please treat us to a drink while you're at it..."

"..."

As soon as he entered the yard, Zhao Zhengguo was stopped by several familiar neighbors.

It made him look confused.

After knowing what was going on, I no longer had the energy to talk nonsense with them.

Go straight home.

His son and daughter-in-law are back, so he has to go back and see them.

Zhao Zhengguo rushed back home and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Runye learning to knit the new style of sweater that was popular in Beijing under the guidance of Guo Ping.

His son Zhao Dongchuan was turning the radio and tuning the frequency.

"dad!"

"Jungkook!"

Zhao Dongchuan and Guo Ping hurriedly greeted them.

"uncle"

Tian Runye also hurriedly stood up and shouted.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, you guys get busy!"

"Come here, little brat..."

Zhao Zhengguo said to Runye with a smile, turned around and asked Zhao Dongchuan to go in and talk with him.

"okay……"

Runye looked at Zhao Dongchuan a little nervously. He gave her a comforting look and followed Zhao Zhengguo into the room.

"Tell me...what's going on..." Zhao Zhengguo pulled a bamboo chair and sat down, asking.

"Which aspect are you talking about..."

"How did you trick the girl into coming here..."

"..."

Zhao Dongchuan was speechless!

He is my cheap father, and I am worried about him.

Then Zhao Dongchuan briefly told the story between him and Runye.

……

"Alas... Last year I heard you talk about the relationship between Runye and Shaoan... I felt quite sympathetic towards her... But... I didn't expect you to be with her... It's really unpredictable!"

Zhao Zhengguo picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, and said with emotion.

"I just took a look at Runye. In my opinion, she is indeed a good girl... Since you have made up your mind... then you must not let her down!"

Zhao Zhengguo's face turned serious and he looked at Zhao Dongchuan seriously.

"Of course... I like it so much..."

"Just remember this sentence... Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go out and don't let others misunderstand..."

Having said that, Zhao Zhengguo walked out.

"Runye, you must have had a hard time on this journey... Ask your aunt to make you some chicken soup tonight to replenish your body..."

Zhao Zhengguo said to Tian Runye with a smile.

"Thank you, uncle. No need for that. We had a lot of delicious food at noon..."

"Yes, yes. You have come all the way from Huangyuan and you are unfamiliar with the place. We must take good care of you..."

"Runye, if you don't eat it, I should. Let me also benefit from your kindness..." Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile.

"Well...thank you, Uncle Zhao..."

"Hahaha, we're all family... why are you being so polite..."

"..."

Zhao Dongchuan looked at the harmonious family, smiled and nodded.

In the evening, Guo Ping and Zhao Zhengguo prepared a sumptuous meal and even bought a big hen to cook a bowl of thick chicken soup for Tian Runye.

Zhao Dongchuan also got a bowl of it...

After dinner, they cleaned up the table and sat in the living room to discuss the wedding arrangements of Zhao Dongchuan and Tian Runye.

"My idea is this: Runye, you should stay for a while this time... After the Chinese New Year, we'll pick a date and hold a banquet here... Invite relatives and friends to come and have a meal... To be a witness..."

"Then you guys go back to Huangyuan and hold another one. Your mom and I will go there too... In this way, everything will be done... Runye, do you think this is feasible?"

Zhao Zhengguo thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

Runye looked at Zhao Dongchuan.

"Isn't this too hasty? It would be better if my parents came as well..." Runye said after thinking for a while.

"Asking your parents to come over, I think the journey is too far... You can discuss this matter with your parents, make a phone call..." Zhao Zhengguo nodded.

Afterwards, they discussed the specific number of people to be invited, the purchase of supplies, cigarettes and alcohol, etc.

At night, Tian Runye slept on Zhao Dongchuan's bed, while he slept on the floor in the living room.

The next day is New Year’s Eve.

Zhao Dongchuan took Tian Runye to buy New Year's goods and to stroll around the old city... His own bicycle was still in Huangyuan, but it was very inconvenient without a bicycle.

So he made an excuse, saying that he was borrowing a friend's bike, but in fact he took out a bicycle he had obtained earlier from the space.

He took Tian Runye to Shichahai on a bicycle...

I took Runye to skate on the ice for a while and experienced the characteristics of the old Sijiu City.

Fortunately, the two did not encounter any weird or bloody plots when they were skating, otherwise Zhao Dongchuan would probably have to... teach them a lesson.

After skating, Zhao Dongchuan took Tian Runye to a state-owned store and bought a lot of things needed for the New Year. Finally, he went to the business hall of the long-distance telephone building to make a long-distance call.

He called the commune and asked the people there to help convey the message. He agreed on a time and asked Tian Futang to come over and answer the call.

After finishing their work, the two rode their bicycles back to Nanluoguxiang.

When he entered the yard again, Zhao Dongchuan "returned" the bicycle and then took Tian Runye into the house.

"Are you back?" Guo Ping was wearing an apron and serving dishes to the table.
