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

Chapter 191 Discussing Marriage

Tian Runye pulled at the corner of Zhao Dongchuan's clothes, feeling a little nervous.

It was the letter from her father that made her certain of her feelings for Zhao Dongchuan.

But when she thought about taking Zhao Dongchuan to meet her parents later, she couldn't help but feel shy.

"It's okay. Your father has been thinking about me as his son-in-law for a long time... Let's go!"

Zhao Dongchuan scratched Tian Runye's nose with his fingers and said with a smile.

"What are you doing……"

Tian Runye looked at Zhao Dongchuan shyly.

"Hahaha……"

"Let's go!"

Zhao Dongchuan laughed out loud, took Tian Runye's hand and walked into the yard.

At this time, Tian Runye's mother was sitting in the yard sewing shoe soles stitch by stitch. Seeing Tian Runye coming back, she immediately stood up happily. Then she saw Zhao Dongchuan following her and was stunned for a moment.

"Hey, Xiao Zhao, you're here!"

"You must have had a hard time on the journey... Runye, why don't you go into the house and pour some tea for Xiao Zhao..."

Runye's mother reacted immediately, smiled happily and greeted him. At this time, she became more concerned about Zhao Dongchuan, which made Tian Runye unable to react for a while.

Tian Futang, who heard the noise, also hurried out.

He said excitedly: "Hey, Xiao Zhao, Runye, you are here!"

"Come in, come in!"

"dad!"

"Uncle Tian!"

Zhao Dongchuan couldn't call him Dad at this moment, but he couldn't call him Secretary Tian either, as that would be too distant, so he called him Uncle Tian.

Tian Futang naturally understood the change of name, and his heart was filled with joy at that time.

Zhao Dongchuan came into the house carrying a lot of bags.

"Oh, why did you buy so many things..." Tian Futang looked at the full bags and said polite words, but he was very happy in his heart.

He didn't care about these things, but from this incident, he saw Zhao Dongchuan's sincerity and his importance to Runye, and he couldn't help but feel more satisfied with Zhao Dongchuan as his son-in-law.

There's nothing we can do about it, humans are just such vulgar and complicated creatures.

Sometimes it’s other people’s business whether they want it or not, and whether you give it or not is a matter of your attitude.

Several people took off their shoes, sat on the kang and gathered around the table...

Runye's mother came over with a big fruit plate and said with a smile: "Come, Xiao Zhao, have some peanuts, melon seeds, and candy..."

"Aunt, you are so polite!"

Zhao Dongchuan took the cup of tea that Runye poured for him and said with a smile.

Then they started chatting, and Tian Futang and his wife were smiling throughout the whole chat.

Only Runye was a little shy. As for Zhao Dongchuan, he was drinking tea and eating peanuts and melon seeds, feeling extremely comfortable.

As they chatted, Tian Futang suddenly asked, "When are you planning to get married?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Tian Runye was even more shy now. She whispered, "Dad..."

Runye's mother also pulled on the corner of Tian Futang's clothes, signaling him to be quiet and not to scare the younger generation.

Besides, even if she likes him very much, she can't bring up the matter on her own initiative. It makes it seem like Runye is unwanted and is in a hurry to get married.

Tian Futang didn't care about that. Zhao Dongchuan was a handsome man, and he worked in Huangyuan City and was paid by the emperor. He was educated and capable. There were many people who were jealous of him. If he didn't finalize the matter soon, what would happen if someone snatched it away?

He knew that many families in the village had this idea, but they were all rejected by Zhao Dongchuan.

If he hadn't been suppressing it openly or covertly, some people might have had evil intentions and would have made it a done deal, and they would have been unable to clear themselves even if they jumped into the Yellow River.

It’s not like this hasn’t happened before.

He had heard many people in the surrounding area say that certain female educated youth were either tricked or had to compromise and marry into the local area in order to make a living... There were also male educated youth like this, but just fewer.

"Uncle Tian, ​​to be honest, I came here to discuss this matter with you. In my opinion, the sooner the better..."

Zhao Dongchuan put down the enamel cup in his hand and said seriously.

"Yeah... okay, okay, we are family, I won't say anything else, Runye is already so old, it's really not good to delay it any longer... Let alone other people's children are already a few years old... Shaoan is about to become... a father... "

Tian Futang realized that he had said the wrong thing and his tone gradually weakened.

Runye’s mother could only smile awkwardly.

Zhao Dongchuan and Tian Runye didn't care. Sun Shaoan had already moved on from the matter. They just smiled and nodded.

"That's right. I haven't had time to talk to my parents about this. Isn't it almost the New Year? I was thinking, should I take Runye back to Beijing first so that my parents can meet Runye and discuss how to arrange the wedding?"

"This one……"

Tian Futang was a little hesitant. His daughter was going to such a faraway place where she was unfamiliar with the place... Although he trusted Zhao Dongchuan, he was still a little worried.

"Runye, what do you think?" Tian Futang asked Tian Runye.

"I...I'll listen to Dongchuan..."

Runye blushed and replied.

Seeing his daughter like this, Tian Futang knew that he was worrying in vain, so he said, "Okay, then you go... Remember to call the commune to inform me when you get there..."

Zhao Dongchuan nodded.

A few of them talked about this matter and discussed the approximate wedding date and location.

After hearing Zhao Dongchuan say that he planned to hold the event once in Beijing and once in Shuangshui Village, Tian Futang nodded secretly in his heart. This son-in-law is really good. Not only is he rich, but he is also open-minded...

Soon the sky gradually darkened, and Runye's mother was already preparing dinner. This was the first time the future son-in-law came to visit, so she couldn't neglect him...

Runye's mother thought about making meat dumplings in the evening... and then catching a chicken from the yard to make chicken soup...

Zhao Dongchuan greeted Tian Futang and led Tian Runye to his own cave dwelling.

It has been a while since I last came here, and the yard is naturally full of dead branches and fallen leaves...

Zhao Dongchuan opened the door to the inner room, took out an enamel basin from the stove, and prepared to fetch water to wipe the inner room.

At this time, Tian Runye had already taken a broom and was ready to sweep the yard.

One of them was sweeping the floor while the other was wiping the inner room, and they worked in perfect harmony.

Runye quickly cleaned the yard, then went into the inner room, snatched the rag from Zhao Dongchuan's hand, and said with a smile: "Dongchuan, let me do it! You don't have to do this job, leave all the housework to me in the future..."

Zhao Dongchuan was overwhelmed with emotions. Oh, he was finally a man who had a loving wife.

He opened his arms and slowly held Runye in his arms.

Smelling the fragrance of her hair on the back of her neck, he said happily: "Runye, you are so nice!"

Tian Runye stiffened at first, then slowly relaxed.

She slowly hugged Zhao Dongchuan, smiled shyly and said, "Isn't this what I should do..."

Zhao Dongchuan felt the warmth in his arms and couldn't help but hug him tighter.

The two of them hugged each other like this, looking so beautiful under the reflection of the setting sun.
