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

Chapter 172 Tian Runye's Situation

On the one hand, it was to make friends with himself, and on the other hand, it was to indirectly tell the villagers that he, Tian Futang, was a prestigious person, and at the same time to show that he was in a good financial situation. The dinner invited by the village party secretary would definitely not be as shabby as Sun Yuhou's.

Zhao Dongchuan also greeted the villagers he met with a smile.

After a while, they arrived at Tian Futang's house. When they entered the yard, his wife immediately warmly invited him to come in and sit down.

Tian Futang's family is naturally much richer than Sun Yuhou's family.

Not only did she make him a cup of green tea, she also brought out a fruit plate with peanuts, melon seeds, candies, etc.

There are probably not many houses of this size in Shuangshui Village.

"Auntie, you are so polite. I just need a drink of water!"

"Oh, Xiao Zhao, look at what you said. We do have this at home. Don't be afraid of being laughed at by you city people. I can't even get used to drinking tea!" Tian Futang's wife said with a smile.

Tian Futang laughed and said, "Runsheng probably won't be back today. Let's eat first and bring the dishes over!"

"Okay, I'll serve it right away!"

Afterwards, the food was served and Tian Futang took out a pot of homemade rice wine.

The three of them sat down and started eating with a smile on their faces.

During the dinner, Tian Futang urged everyone to drink and asked about Zhao Dongchuan's recent situation.

Hearing that he went to Pengcheng on a business trip and then returned to Beijing to visit his relatives during the New Year, Tian Futang asked about the situation there with great concern.

I also asked about his parents' recent situation.

Zhao Dongchuan did not hide anything and told some of what he saw and heard.

As for home, everything is naturally fine.

Tian Futang also began to mention Runye's situation from time to time, saying how excellent she was and so on, and while doing so he intentionally smiled at Zhao Dongchuan.

He also talked about this and that, saying that in the neighboring Guanzi Village, a man married a woman three years older than him, and now they are happily married and have even given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

After this conversation, even the dumbest person could hear the hidden meaning behind the conversation.

Of course Zhao Dongchuan understood what Tian Futang meant, but he didn't understand when Tian Futang included him in the list of "future sons-in-law".

He is not opposed to the female protagonist Tian Runye. She is pretty, has a good figure, seems to have a lot of moral principles, and is a regular teacher.

Relatively speaking, the conditions are still very good, but he is not sure about his true thoughts now.

In fact, the two of them didn't spend much time together, and the number of times they met could be counted on dozens of fingers.

"Yes, Sister Runye is a good girl! She will definitely find her ideal husband!" Zhao Dongchuan took a sip of rice wine and said with a smile.

"Our Runye is quite outstanding, and you are not bad either! Better than our Runye!" Tian Futang almost said it openly, asking Zhao Dongchuan to consider Tian Runye, but he couldn't bring himself to do it because of his status.

"Hahaha, we don't have to worry about this kind of thing. Sister Runye has her own ideas. Maybe Sister Runye already has a partner! I heard that there is someone named Li Xiangqian..." Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile.

"Oh, that Li Xiangqian thing you mentioned is over. We can't afford to marry into his family, and Li Xiangqian has a problem with his character. Not only does Runye dislike him, we don't like him either!

Some time ago, her second mother told me that she had rejected the Li family's invitation and made her attitude clear! " Tian Futang hurriedly explained, fearing that he might misunderstand.

"So, Li Xiangqian is not a good person. He doesn't want to be in a relationship anymore, but he keeps pestering Sister Runye..."

"Isn't it..."

The few of them chatted and ate, and time passed quickly. It was already dark outside, the moon was dim, and the stars were sparse. The house was steaming hot and full of gossip.

After the meal, Zhao Dongchuan chatted for a while and then said goodbye and left.

I've been eating at other people's houses all day today...it's time to go home and sleep.

It was already very late when Zhao Dongchuan returned to his yard. Thinking that Sun Shaoping would not come, he washed up and fell into a deep sleep.

Silent all night.

The next day, early in the morning, Zhao Dongchuan woke up again to the familiar yet unfamiliar sound of a horn.

It’s really the long-lost “alarm clock”!

Zhao Dongchuan didn't have time to sigh. He got up, washed up, and cooked himself a bowl of rice porridge.

After dinner, Zhao Dongchuan took out the mysterious piece of iron from the space and looked at the map behind it thoughtfully.

This location is a bit remote, and he doesn't know much about it, so he needs to ask around.

As for where to inquire, of course it’s the intelligence center at the entrance of the village.

It is where all the young and old men in the village gather and it is the place where gossip and rumors fly everywhere.

Mainly ask the elderly in the village.

Zhao Dongchuan left the yard, closed the door, and slowly walked towards the village entrance.

After a while, we arrived under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

At this time, there were already some old men and women sitting there basking in the sun and chatting.

Seeing Zhao Dongchuan coming, they all greeted him.

"Morning, Xiao Zhao!"

"Come, come, sit here..."

He found a shady place to sit down and chat with them.

From time to time, I would ask about the situation of Shenxian Mountain.

Zhao Dongchuan was a little disappointed. He didn’t hear any news about whether there were any treasures in Shenxian Mountain. It was still the same old “fairy story”!

After sitting around for a whole morning and not getting any news, Zhao Dongchuan went straight back.

After lunch, Zhao Dongchuan went straight to Shenxian Mountain.

Shenxian Mountain was to the left rear of Shuangshui Village. Soon he arrived at Shenxian Mountain. He began to search along the approximate direction indicated on the map.

Unfortunately, since it was quite a while ago, the Shenxian Mountain is now overgrown with weeds and has more trees than before. Some places don't match up with the map.

He ran from the bottom of the mountain to the top and wandered around for a long time, but didn't find the place marked on the map.

The weather was so hot that he began to sweat profusely after searching for a while.

Although he has a strong physique, he still feels hot, but he won't die from the heat. Sweating is a very normal thing for humans.

It was almost dark when he still hadn't found it, so he went straight back to his yard.

In the evening, Zhao Dongchuan cooked himself a big bowl of twice-cooked pork and green leafy vegetables.

Of course one of his favorite things is ice cold beer!!!

Taking out the kettle from the space, Zhao Dongchuan poured himself a glass of iced beer which was still icy cold. He groaned, "This is so cool!!!"

He drank several cups in a row before he gave up.

Soon all the dishes on the table were eaten.

Zhao Dongchuan practiced his lessons for a while and then went to bed.

I'm so tired after looking for "treasure" outside all day today.

In the following days, Zhao Dongchuan wandered around the back mountain, but he couldn't find a location similar to the map.

He was not discouraged. While searching, he began to think about which novel he should "write".

He had only skimmed through many novels, and none of them were complete, so he needed to constantly add content himself.
