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

Chapter 187: Lively New Year's Eve

Xu Guoqiang was the only one at home at this time. Xu Aiyun and Tian Fujun had not returned, and Tian Xiaoxia was still in class.

Tian Runye brought Zhao Dongchuan in and put down the gifts they bought.

He then started to pour tea for Zhao Dongchuan and Xu Guoqiang.

"Oh my, you bought so many things...it must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Xu Guoqiang looked at the huge pile of gifts and felt a little distressed.

He already regarded Zhao Dongchuan as his own family member. He felt sorry for him as he had to spend a lot of money to buy so many things.

"You young people, you still have a long life ahead of you. You should save more money. Wedding banquets cost a lot of money..."

"Grandpa, I also tried to persuade Dongchuan, but he said that since it was his first visit, he should respect his elders and not be impolite..."

"Oh, Xiao Zhao, you are so thoughtful. As long as you are all well, there is no need to do this..."

Then Zhao Dongchuan sat down and chatted with Tian Runye and Xu Guoqiang.

He also introduced his recent situation.

Soon, Xu Aiyun pushed her bicycle into the yard. Seeing that there was one more bicycle in the yard, she knew that a guest was coming.

Then she heard familiar conversation coming from the room.

"Second mother, you're back!" Tian Runye heard the voice and went out of the house to see Xu Aiyun coming back.

"Runye, are there guests at home?"

Zhao Dongchuan also came out when he heard the sound.

Then Runye shouted: "Second mother!"

Xu Aiyun looked at Zhao Dongchuan in a daze for a moment, then looked at Tian Runye, and seeing her face full of embarrassment, she immediately realized what was going on.

"Haha, okay, okay, Xiao Zhao, you came here without even saying hello. I'll go to the market to buy some vegetables..."

As Xu Aiyun spoke, he pushed his bicycle and was about to leave.

Stopped by Zhao Dongchuan and Tian Runye.

"Second Mom, there's no need. I think we already have a lot of vegetables at home. There's no need to go to the market to buy more. Just cook as usual!"

Tian Runye took Xu Aiyun's arm and said with a smile.

"Yeah, there's really no need. It's not like I haven't eaten here before..." Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile.

"That's different... You're Runye's girlfriend now, and this is your first visit. How can you be so casual... I'd better go buy some more vegetables..."

As they were talking, a car honked.

With the sound of brakes, Tian Futang got out of the car wearing a military coat.

"Hey, what's going on..."

Tian Fujun asked with a smile when he saw Tian Runye and Xu Aiyun arguing with each other.

"Second Dad! You're back!" Tian Runye shouted.

"Xiao Zhao? You are here too?" Tian Fujun nodded in response and looked at Zhao Dongchuan with a little surprise.

"Second Dad! Hello, Runye and I came here together!"

Zhao Dongchuan responded with a smile.

Tian Fujun is such a smart person. As soon as he heard this, he understood it and his mind was as clear as a mirror.

"Hahaha, okay, okay! You have to drink a few more glasses with me tonight!"

Tian Fujun was very happy that Tian Runye and Zhao Dongchuan could be together.

There is no doubt that Xiao Zhao's character, talent and ability are outstanding in the province, not to mention the whole country. He and his half-daughter Tian Runye are truly a perfect match made in heaven.

He knew a little about Runye and Shaoan before, but was too busy with work to pay much attention. Later, because Li Xiangqian was pestering Tian Runye, he sought out Li Dengyun to discuss the issue in private.

But since Ke'er has grown up and is no longer under the control of her father, Li Xiangqian has firmly believed that Tian Runye is also a troublesome thing. Fortunately, the beauty has a boyfriend now, so Li Xiangqian can finally give up.

"Fujun, you see I haven't prepared anything yet. I wanted to go to the market to buy some vegetables but was stopped..."

Xu Aiyun said to Tian Fujun with a smile.

"Second Mom, aren't there a lot of dishes prepared for the Little New Year in the kitchen?... You really don't need to go..."

"Then how can it be the same..."

"Forget it, Aiyun, it's getting late. You can go buy some vegetables. It will take a lot of time to go back and forth... The main thing is to get the wine out... I want to drink with Xiao Zhao tonight and not leave until I'm drunk..."

Tian Fujun also smiled and made a witty remark.

After hearing what Tian Fujun said, Xu Aiyun stopped worrying about it.

Then several people entered the house.

As soon as Tian Fujun and Xu Aiyun entered the room, they saw a huge pile of gifts.

"Wow, so many things, this is..." Xu Aiyun said in surprise.

"Second mother, this was bought by Dongchuan..." Tian Runye said.

"Oh, Xiao Zhao... look at you, this is really unnecessary... it's too expensive..."

Xu Aiyun knew at a glance that these things would cost a lot of money. Although their family conditions were not bad, it was indeed quite impressive to bring so many things to their door.

"Second mother, this is my first time visiting you, so I can't be impolite... These things are not much, please don't despise them..." Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile.

"You kid, why are you doing these nonsense..."

Tian Fujun naturally saw it and knew what was going on, but as a man he also knew that it was the first time for the man to visit the woman's family and he would definitely want to give a good impression to the woman's family. He understood that and didn't say anything.

If it was given by someone else, he would definitely return it, but since it was Runye's partner, then he was one of them, and it was just a favor to him... no one could blame him!

"Okay, Aiyun, this is a gift from Runye's boyfriend, just keep it. We can help them out when they hold their wedding banquet later..."

Xu Aiyun also smiled and nodded, stopped discussing the matter, and ran into the kitchen to start working.

Today is the Little New Year, and it is also the first time that Zhao Dongchuan comes to visit Runye as her boyfriend, so we have to prepare a good meal.

Tian Runye also followed him into the kitchen and started helping out.

Not long after, the tomboy Tian Xiaoxia came back with a bun, a military cap, and a floral cotton jacket.

She is a person who likes to be lively.

When he came back, he saw Tian Runye and Zhao Dongchuan flirting with each other, and he immediately pulled Tian Runye aside and started whispering to her.

I don't know what the two of them said, but soon she was laughing so hard that she couldn't stop.

She looked at Zhao Dongchuan with narrow eyes.

"I didn't expect that this Zhao brother usually looks quite gentle, but I didn't expect that when it comes to love, he is so good at coaxing women..."

Tian Xiaoxia whispered to Tian Runye, making Runye's ears turn red with embarrassment.

"Okay, stop making fun of me..."

…………

Tian Xiaoxia, the happy girl, ran around like a monkey as soon as she came back, running in the kitchen, sitting in the living room, and even discussing Zhao Dongchuan's new poetry with him and expressing her opinions.

She was smart. She took out the latest issue of "People's Literature" from her room and asked Zhao Dongchuan to sign it for her.

Let everyone present burst into laughter.

It was so lively and time passed quickly.

The food was ready and laid out on the table, including meat, vegetables and soup.

"Originally, I wanted to buy a fish... but you stopped me..."

Xu Aiyun wiped his hands and said with a smile.

"Second Mom, there's no need for that. This dish is definitely enough for the New Year. It's too rich!"

Zhao Dongchuan said with a grin.
