Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

After dinner, Zhou Ziwen moved the recliner under the eaves and lay on it to enjoy the cool air.

It just rained today and the air outside is very fresh.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, but the sky seemed a little dim because it was getting dark.

Listening to the occasional birdsong in the distance and the crowing of chickens in the backyard, the scent of rural life fills the air.

Chen Qiaoyi brought a small stool and sat next to Zhou Ziwen, holding a handful of pine nuts in her hand, chatting with him.

"Brother Ziwen, we haven't been to the mushroom house for two days. Will the mushrooms there go bad?"

Chen Qiaoyi asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's just two days late."

Zhou Ziwen shook his head.

"But we picked some!"

"That's okay. Mushrooms can be stored for a long time. In just a few days, there won't be much change."

Zhou Ziwen opened his mouth to explain.

……

"Brother Ziwen, you guys haven't slept yet?"

At this moment, Tang Yaoyao from next door ran over.

"Yao Yao, why are you here?"

Chen Qiaoyi asked happily.

"I'd like to use your bathroom."

While speaking, Tang Yaoyao looked at Zhou Ziwen somewhat embarrassedly.

"Do you want to take a shower? Then go ahead, I'll get you some water."

Chen Qiaoyi said enthusiastically.

Tang Yaoyao caught a cold. She took some medicine today and sweated a lot. She now feels a little uncomfortable.

"Thank you, Sister Yiyi."

Tang Yaoyao thanked him with a smile.

Although Zhou Ziwen dug a well in the yard, there was still some distance between the bathroom and the well.

If she wants to take a bath, she needs at least four or five buckets of water.

With her small body, it would take her half a day just to fetch water if no one helped her.

Seeing that Tang Yaoyao looked a little embarrassed, Zhou Ziwen shook his head, got up and went to the bedroom.

Although this talkative girl is good-looking, she is still a little inferior to her two sisters. Compared with Shen Zhaodi, they each have their own merits.

She has an airport at a young age and her family is relatively wealthy.

Seeing Zhou Ziwen leave, Tang Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.

As a young girl, she was still a little shy to talk about taking a bath in front of a grown man.

"Whee!"

Chen Qiaoyi, who was standing by, saw her like this and immediately started to make fun of her.

Tang Yaoyao was not to be outdone, and soon the pair of best friends started playing around.

……

Silent all night.

The next morning, the weather outside was sunny.

Zhou Ziwen woke up to the sound of the broadcast.

It didn't rain outside today, so everyone has had two days of rest and it's time to go back to work today.

After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and his two sisters gathered at the production team.

When most people had arrived, the captain began to speak.

This time, he emphasized the prevention of colds.

The clinic still needs to continue boiling medicine.

Whether sick or not, the villagers have to drink a bowl.

However, since everyone still has to go to work, when the medicine in the clinic is ready, someone will deliver it to where everyone is working.

As for those who are not working, they can only go to the health center by themselves.

Anyway, going to work cannot be delayed.

Especially the mushroom cultivation base and mushroom house.

It rained these two days and the construction progress of the mushroom cultivation base has been delayed, which needs to be made up next.

There is also a mushroom house. The mushrooms there are about to be harvested. Although a delay of one or two days will not affect the quality of the mushrooms, a new batch cannot be planted if the mushrooms are not harvested. Every day of delay costs money!

After the meeting, Wu Dagang and the team leader found Zhou Ziwen. "Ziwen, is there any problem with the harvest in the mushroom house today?"

The captain asked.

"No problem. We'll transport it out after harvesting it in the morning."

Zhou Ziwen opened his mouth to answer.

Although he rarely went to the mushroom house, he was very clear about the progress there.

After all, everyone at home and around him are members of the Mushroom Group, so Chen Shiying would talk to him about it every day when she got home.

"That's fine. We have to send it out quickly since we've been delayed for two days. We've already made the arrangements."

The captain nodded.

"Ziwen, are you still going up the mountain today?"

Wu Dagang asked.

"Well, I've used a lot of medicinal herbs these days. I'm afraid it won't be enough. I'll go to the mountain to dig some more today."

Zhou Ziwen nodded.

"Thanks a lot."

Wu Dagang patted Zhou Ziwen on the shoulder.

“Serving the people is not hard work.”

Zhou Ziwen saluted with a smile.

"You are just a naughty boy."

Wu Dagang glared at him angrily.

"Since you are so energetic, go and keep an eye on the mushroom cultivation base when you come back."

In a blink of an eye, Wu Dagang assigned him a task.

"Oh, okay."

Zhou Ziwen nodded. This was originally his job, and even if he went to the mushroom growing base, it wouldn’t take much time.

"The Youth Educated Office notified us yesterday that another group of youth educated in education will be arriving. We need to go there this afternoon to pick them up. You will have to work harder on your side."

Although Zhou Ziwen didn't ask, Wu Dagang still explained it.

"Another educated youth is coming?"

Zhou Ziwen was shocked.

Although he knew that it was normal for educated youth to go to the countryside in those days, he didn't know that a group of educated youth would go to the countryside every now and then.

"Yes, fortunately we built a few more rooms when the Youth Home was built this time, otherwise there would be no room for everyone."

Speaking of this, Wu Dagang sighed irritably.

The educated youth who went to the countryside were all city dwellers, coming from all over the country, and there were all kinds of people.

As more and more educated youth went to the countryside, it became a big problem in Dabazi Village.

Not to mention that there will be many more educated youth coming in the future, he finds it difficult to manage just the ones now.

"It seems that Uncle Wu is very foresighted!"

Zhou Ziwen joked.

"Go, be careful or I'll assign you to be the team leader of the Youth Institute."

Wu Dagang threatened viciously.

"Uh...I'll just forget it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziwen hurriedly shook his head, "Uncle Wu, don't look for me, I have a lot of things to do!"

"Oh, by the way, I still have to go to the mountain to collect herbs. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving first."

Zhou Ziwen made up a random excuse and left in a hurry.

He was really afraid that if he continued talking, Wu Dagang would arrange him to be the team leader of the Youth League Institute.

He has no interest in that position at all.

Not only are there a lot of things to do, but there is also no power. Only people like Zhou Qiang who want to return to the city would be willing to do so.

On the way back, he also stopped by the health center.

Because we were at work today, there weren't many people in the clinic, only a few aunties and grandmas were helping to boil the medicine.

The rest were the old, weak, sick and disabled. They were the only ones in the entire production team who did not go to work.

"Ziwen, you're here, come and help me, why do I feel a headache?"

As soon as he arrived at the Youth League Home, Zhou Ziwen was stopped by an old lady.

"Grandma Shao, don't worry, I'll help you check it out."

Zhou Ziwen answered with a smile. (End of this chapter)
