The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth
Chapter 65: One Punishment per Year
According to people who found excuses to visit Shaoan's home, this girl is completely different from He Fengying!
Although He Xiulian's face was not too white, she was very attractive. With thick eyebrows, big eyes, white teeth and a plump figure, she was exactly the "goddess" that farmers dreamed of.
What is even more admirable is that when she arrived at Sun Shaoan’s dilapidated yard, she did not show a trace of disgust.
And as soon as she arrived, she helped Sun Yuhou's wife with the housework, and kept calling her grandma, mom, and dad, which really made Sun Yuhou's family very happy!
Apart from these, the most rare thing is that I heard that her parents didn’t ask for any dowry!
Oh, no gift money? Is there such a good thing in the world? Sun Shaoan is really crazy and lucky!
When Shaoan appeared in the village somewhat shyly, the farmers came forward and asked him, "Does their family really not want a dowry?" Shaoan said nothing, but just nodded. He also felt that he was lucky to marry such a good wife.
Some of his peers even asked rudely: "Did you sleep together?", which made Sun Shaoan's face turn red and he didn't dare to answer.
Although Sun Shaoan is very happy at the moment, he is also troubled by many embarrassing things that come with it.
He needs to solve them all immediately in a very short time!
Happiness and distress were like two tangled ropes in his heart, a tangled mess in which he could not find the thread that led to them.
Fortunately, Shao Ping had arranged for Xiu Lian to live with Jin Xiu and Lan Xiang, while he still lived in the small cave. What worried him most now was the banquet for the "Spring Festival wedding". Although Xiu Lian's family did not want a gift, they still had to give her a decent wedding and could not let Xiu Lian down.
He also had to make a few sets of clothes for Xiulian, and it would be best if he could sew a quilt or a sheepskin coat for his future father-in-law. He also had to make a new coat for himself. He couldn't wear clothes with patches on top of patches anymore. It would be inappropriate to wear them at a wedding.
Also, where will you live after you get married?
These questions kept lingering in his mind, making Sun Shaoan's head buzz with pain.
Zhao Dongchuan knew all these situations. He was clear about the situation of Sun Shaoan's family. According to the original normal rhythm, the money was borrowed from Jin Bo's family, and the grain was the reserve grain of the brigade that Tian Futang promised to borrow.
Of course, Tian Futang was eager for Sun Shaoan to get married as soon as possible, so that his daughter Runye would no longer have to worry about Sun Shaoan.
Zhao Dongchuan himself did not take the initiative to tell Sun Shaoan that he had money to borrow, as this would make him seem very rich. If things developed according to the plot, he would attend the wedding and give a red envelope. If someone asked him to borrow money, then he would do a favor and lend 200 yuan to Sun Shaoan. With his parents in the city to cover for him, he was not afraid of anyone's suspicion.
During the following period, due to the return of Sun Shaoan, Shao Ping also returned to school normally. Zhao Dongchuan no longer had to give Shao Ping extra lessons in the evening. He still did his homework as usual.
Before going to sleep, he practiced "Introduction to Qi Refining". Maybe it was because there were mountains and water in the countryside, but Zhao Dongchuan clearly felt that his Qi was getting stronger and stronger during his time in Shuangshui Village.
………………
Before he knew it, Zhao Dongchuan had been in Shuangshui Village for almost a month. The Mid-Autumn Festival was just a few days away. After much consideration, Zhao Dongchuan decided to go back home during the Chinese New Year and not go back during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This way, he could stay longer during the Chinese New Year and it wouldn't seem too excessive.
Zhao Dongchuan took the time to write a letter and sent it back to his hometown, and at the same time remitted 50 yuan. He did not dare to remit too much for fear of having to explain.
The 14th day of the eighth lunar month, the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, is the busiest day in Shuangshui Village. This is the village’s annual grand festival - the "Date Picking Festival".
Shuangshui Village was immersed in an atmosphere of great joy. On this day, almost everyone in the village, young and old, would lock their doors, carry bamboo baskets and rolling poles, and walk together into the jujube forest in Miaoping.
Zhao Dongchuan would certainly not miss such a day. He also took a large bamboo basket and borrowed a long pole from Sun Shaoan, and participated in the Date Picking Festival with great interest.
Shao Ping, Jin Bo and Tian Runsheng also rushed back from school to participate in this traditional festival in Shuangshui Village.
With the words of the village party secretary Tian Futang, "Open the garden, pick the jujubes, and celebrate the festival!"
Everyone took up their tools and started to crack dates. Some nimble guys climbed up trees and ran around in the woods like monkeys.
Of course Zhao Dongchuan didn’t climb the tree, he is very “gentlemanly”!
"You are only allowed to eat, not take!" Sun Yuting kept warning the villagers in the woods like a disciplinary committee member.
The only exception was the silly old man Tian Er. No one in the village cared about him and let him pick up whatever he wanted.
While eating big red dates, Tian Er stuffed the hawthorn nuts that others had picked from the ground into the two big pockets on his front, filling them up.
He even laughed and muttered: "The world is going to change, the world is going to change..."
Jin Junwen's wife Zhang Guilan watched and joked, while she also grabbed a handful of red and black dates and stuffed them into her trouser pocket without leaving any trace. At this time, even if someone saw it, they would turn a blind eye. What's the big deal about taking some dates home to eat?
Zhao Dongchuan was also having fun. Relying on his inhuman qualities, he danced the bamboo pole like a small wooden stick. Dates fell down like raindrops, and a large pile of them landed in front of him, which amazed the villagers.
Xiao Zhao's hands are very strong. Is this the "virgin skill" he developed from being single for many years?
As they spent some time together, everyone realized that Zhao Dongchuan was still the same Zhao Dongchuan, and he did not distance himself from them just because he went to work in the city and got a government salary.
Naturally, the villagers also started making fun of him.
"Dongchuan, you have quite a bit of strength. Do you want to find a wife, too?" Tian Haimin, the brigade accountant and the village's chief tractor driver, joked.
"Brother Haimin, you should ask your Yinhua if she is willing to leave the door open for me at night!" Zhao Dongchuan directly retorted.
Everyone burst into laughter.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Many aunts and uncles who had been thinking about this for a long time took the opportunity to ask Zhao Dongchuan if he had a girlfriend, and wanted to introduce their daughters or nieces and granddaughters to Zhao Dongchuan as his wife.
This was like stirring up a hornet's nest, and all the women in the village would be questioned.
This made Zhao Dongchuan very confused.
"Thank you, aunts and grandmas. I'm still young and I won't consider this issue for the time being!" Zhao Dongchuan said helplessly.
He really hadn't thought about getting in a relationship so soon. Dating was a very serious matter these days. Basically, once you were in a relationship you had to get married. If after being together for a while, he felt that they were no longer suitable and wanted to break up, it would have a huge impact on the girl's reputation. Besides, he was just a passer-by in this world.
Let’s wait a few years!
After several attempts to persuade him, they gave up temporarily when they saw that Zhao Dongchuan still refused. They knew that Zhao Dongchuan would stay in Shuangshui Village for a while, and they could find a way to bring him together during this period. They couldn’t let such a rich son-in-law “run away”!!!
Zhao Dongchuan didn't expect how "bumpy" his following days would be!
