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

Chapter 209 Contract Responsibility System

After the banquet, they packed up and prepared to return to Yuanxi County.

It's been a while since we last saw each other, and my second dad also helped a lot with the college entrance examination file matter this time.

In addition, after Runye became pregnant, she had to go back and announce the good news in person.

The next day, they came to Tian's house in the Revolutionary Committee compound.

"Runye, how do you feel now? Do you want to eat something sour or sweet?"

Xu Aiyun took Runye's hand and smiled softly.

"Second Mom, there's no reaction yet, just a little bit of dry heaving. The doctor said it's only eight weeks..."

"Hahaha, that's right... When I was pregnant with Xiaochen, I didn't start wanting to eat until I was about ten weeks pregnant... Ask Dongchuan to prepare some sour oranges and plums for you..."

"Uh-huh……"

Tian Runye had a happy smile on her face.

Zhao Dongchuan was chatting with Tian Fujun on the side.

"Second Dad, are you okay now..."

"Haha, it's fine. What's wrong with it? Didn't you tell me last time to relax and be more open-minded... You said..."

Having said this he paused, obviously realizing that this was not something that could be said in public.

"I have to thank you. Our Xiaoxia was able to be admitted to this Normal University. I really have to thank you..."

Tian Fujun changed the subject and talked about Tian Xiaoxia.

"This is not just my achievement. Shao Ping has also helped Xiao Xia improve..."

Zhao Dongchuan said meaningfully.

Tian Fujun nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and said, "The second son of the Yuhou family is a promising young man. I've known since I was a child that he is not an ordinary person... Let young people handle their own affairs, I can't control it..."

Zhao Dongchuan also nodded but didn't say anything. The meaning was very clear. He would not interfere in Xiaoxia and Shaoping's affairs and let them develop on their own.

At this time Xiaoxia rushed in hurriedly.

"Sister Runye, Sister Runye! Let me see, let me see!"

As soon as she came in, she went straight to Runye.

"Haha, Sister Runye, your belly looks the same as usual. You look even thinner than before..."

Tian Xiaoxia reached out, touched Runye's belly, and said with a smile.

"Go away, you little girl, what do you know? It's only eight weeks...it's strange that you can show your pregnancy!"

Xu Aiyun slapped Xiaoxia's hand with disgust.

"Mom...you are too partial. When Runye came, you even beat my biological daughter..."

Seeing Tian Xiaoxia pretending to be aggrieved while making a fuss, everyone burst into laughter.

On this day, Zhao Dongchuan and Tian Runye lived in the room of Xiaoxia's brother Xiaochen.

Tian Xiaochen went to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University two years ago, and this room has been empty ever since.

While having dinner in the evening, Zhao Dongchuan and Tian Fujun chatted about some of the current situations...

"I heard that there are villages in Anhui Province that are implementing the responsibility system? Is there any action in Huangyuan?"

"Dongchuan, I didn't expect you to be so well-informed. I only found out about this after reading the internal information..."

Tian Fujun said in surprise.

"Huang Yuan... No... There are no documents from above, so many people don't dare to do anything. Besides, most cadres haven't changed their minds yet... I'm afraid it will be difficult..."

Tian Fujun didn't hesitate, paused and spoke in a low voice.

Zhao Dongchuan nodded and said in a low voice: "Since this situation has occurred, it means that the time is almost up... This is a pilot project tacitly approved by the higher-ups... If it is effective, it will be rolled out on a large scale later..."

Tian Fujun nodded calmly and did not continue the topic.

…………

The next day, Zhao Dongchuan and Tian Runye returned to Shuangshui Village... and once again came to the small mountain village they had been away from for a long time.

Shuangshui Village, Tianjiagulao, Tian Futang’s home.

"Runye... so nice..."

Runye's mother sat on the kang holding Tian Runye's hand, with an uncontrollable smile on her face.

At this time, Tian Futang also took out a cigarette, put it under his nose and smelled it, then put it back in his pocket.

He smiled and said, "Great, great! In less than ten months, I will be a grandfather..."

Although he was not his biological grandson, he was the third generation of their Tian family. Tian Futang was very happy. No one dared to gossip about him anymore.

If Tian Runsheng hadn't been admitted to a medical college, he would have wanted to help Runsheng find a wife this year.

He muttered to himself.

He said so, but he was happier than anyone else that Runsheng was admitted to the medical college. Although he was a little inferior to Shaoping, the second son of Yuhou's family, he was already very outstanding compared to the young men in the surrounding area.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhao Dongchuan who was smiling beside him.

I finally found a good son-in-law. This son-in-law seems to be able to predict the future. He started urging Shao Ping and Run Sheng to learn knowledge very early. I really have to thank him...

Tian Futang smiled even more...

When they heard that Zhao Dongchuan had arrived, Shaoan, Shaoping and Lanxiang all ran over to see him.

"Brother Zhao..."

"Xiao Zhao..."

"Brother Zhao..."

"Hahaha, you guys are here, sit down, sit down!"

Zhao Dongchuan was very happy to see several people coming.

Especially when seeing Shao Ping, it was as if he was looking at the fruits of his own labor.

"Shaoping, when does school start?"

"It's said to be next March... Brother Zhao, what about you?"

"I'm about the same. Is your physical examination okay?"

"No problem, I was just a little nervous during the examination, and my blood pressure was a little high... Fortunately, the doctor... helped me..."

Zhao Dongchuan smiled and nodded, and said, "You drank a lot of vinegar, right?"

Sun Shaoping looked at Zhao Dongchuan with disbelief.

"Ah...Brother Zhao, how did you know that I was jealous?"

"Hahaha, because I know drinking vinegar can lower blood pressure..."

In the original novel, this scene also occurred when Sun Shaoping was undergoing a physical examination in order to become a coal miner.

It’s just that now it’s a university physical examination, and the meaning is completely different.

"Brother Shaoan, why don't you bring your baby over to play with?"

"Xiu Lian was breastfeeding at home, so she didn't come..."

"Oh, time flies...You've already given birth to your baby, and Runye and I are going to be parents too..."

Zhao Dongchuan looked at several people and said with emotion.

"Come to think of it... these changes are more or less related to you. I have to thank you..."

Sun Shaoan recalled the changes over the past few years and expressed his sincere gratitude.

"Let's not talk about this... By the way, Shaoan, have you heard about Xiaogang Village in Anhui Province?"

"Um... I heard a little bit. A few days ago, I went to Shigejie market. There was a blacksmith who came from Anhui Province to make a living... He said that someone there has implemented a contract system... He also said that there are rewards for overproduction. Farmers not only have enough food to eat, but also have surplus food..."

"I feel like he's just bragging... Isn't Anhui Province a part of China?"

Zhao Dongchuan nodded. Sun Shaoan's family situation is much better now than in the original novel, and Shaoping has also been admitted to university... In order not to affect Shaoping, the current Shaoan probably won't be so stubborn as to secretly implement the contract responsibility system.

But the policy will be released soon...
