Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

"Brother Ziwen, I'm here to bring you food."

As soon as Zhou Ziwen put down the work in his hands, Chen Qiaoyi came to the field with a basket.

When Zhou Ziwen saw Chen Qiaoyi, he smiled warmly: "Thank you for your hard work, Yiyi, for making such a special trip."

Chen Qiaoyi opened the basket, which contained steaming hot food: "I know you are busy, and I am afraid that you won't have a good lunch, so Sister Shiying and I prepared some."

Zhou Ziwen took the basket and saw that it contained not only his favorite braised pork, but also a few white flour buns and some cold dishes. He felt warm inside and said, "Thank you so much. You are so thoughtful."

Chen Qiaoyi sat down on a stone nearby and watched Zhou Ziwen eat with a smile: "Brother Ziwen, take your time eating. I'll wait for you here."

The team members around saw this scene and looked at them with envy.

Everyone knows that Zhou Ziwen is not only a good laborer, but also a blessed man with two such caring daughters-in-law.

Zhou Ziwen finished his meal quickly and handed the basket to Chen Qiaoyi: "Yiyi, I'm full."

Chen Qiaoyi took the basket and stood up: "Brother Ziwen, you continue to be busy, I'm going back."

Zhou Ziwen nodded, watched Chen Qiaoyi leave, then turned back to the field and continued to lead the team members to harvest rice.

The afternoon sun was even hotter, but the team members were still working hard. While cutting rice, Zhou Ziwen encouraged everyone: "Everyone, work harder. We can finish the work before the sun sets."

As time went by, the rice in the paddy field was gradually harvested. In the evening, when the last bunch of rice was cut, the team members cheered and celebrated the fruition of a day's hard work.

Zhou Ziwen wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the pile of rice, feeling a sense of accomplishment. He turned to the team members and said, "Everyone has worked hard today. Let's take a break and move the rice when the sun is not so hot."

The team members sat down, drank water and rested, enjoying the moment of peace after work. Zhou Ziwen also found a shady place to sit down and relax his tired body.

After resting for a while, Zhou Ziwen stood up and dusted himself off: "Okay, everyone, get ready, we'll start moving the rice."

The team members stood up, picked up their tools, and began to move the harvested rice to the threshing ground. Although the rice was heavy, everyone moved quickly and finished moving the rice.

The sun gradually set and the sky began to darken. Zhou Ziwen and his team members completed a day's harvest work. Although they were tired, everyone had a satisfied smile on their face.

"Everyone did a great job today. Let's continue tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen encouraged everyone.

The team members nodded and said they would continue to work hard tomorrow. Then, everyone started to pack up their tools and prepare to go home.

Zhou Ziwen also packed up his farm tools and went home with the other members of the mushroom group.

When they returned home, Chen Shiying had already prepared dinner. The three of them sat around the table, enjoying the delicious meal after a day of hard work.

"I'm really tired today, but I'm still happy to see so much rice," Zhou Ziwen said while eating.

Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi also nodded in agreement: "Yes, although autumn harvest is hard, it always makes people feel satisfied when they get the harvest."

After dinner, the three of them cleaned up the dishes together, and then sat in the yard to enjoy the tranquility of the night. The night in the countryside is always so peaceful and harmonious, making people feel comfortable.

"We will be busy tomorrow, so let's go to bed early." Zhou Ziwen stood up and stretched.

Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi also got up, cleaned up the yard together, and then went back to their room to rest.

Zhou Ziwen looked at the two sisters, his heart filled with gratitude and happiness.

He knew that no matter how hard it was, as long as he returned home, he would get the warmest comfort.

The moonlight sprinkled in the yard, covering the small farmyard with a layer of silver gauze.

Zhou Ziwen stood in the yard, took a few deep breaths of the fresh air, and felt the tranquility and beauty of the country night.

"Ziwen, come in, it's cold outside." Chen Shiying called softly at the door. Zhou Ziwen nodded and turned back to his room. In the room, Chen Qiaoyi had already made the bed. After the three of them washed up, they lay down to rest.

After a day of hard work, they soon fell asleep.

The next day, at five o'clock as usual, Zhou Ziwen was awakened by the village radio.

He rubbed his eyes, quickly put on his clothes, and prepared to start a new day's work.

The two sisters were also awakened by the broadcast. They put on their clothes and started preparing breakfast.

After breakfast, the three of them walked out of the house together and headed to the production team to gather.

There was a hint of coolness in the early morning air, but the villagers' faces were filled with enthusiasm and anticipation.

Autumn harvest is the busiest and most hopeful time of the year, and everyone hopes for a good harvest.

When Zhou Ziwen arrived at the production team, Wu Dagang and Zhou Weiguo had already begun assigning tasks.

He listened carefully to the tasks assigned to his team, and then led his team members to the area that was not completed yesterday to continue harvesting.

"Everyone, pay attention. Today we need to speed up and try to harvest all the remaining rice." Zhou Ziwen said to the team members.

The team members responded in unison, and then began the intense and orderly harvesting work.

As the sun rose higher, the sound of sickles cutting rice stalks could be heard again in the fields. The rice was harvested and piled together.

Just as Zhou Ziwen was working hard, a voice came from afar.

"Zhou Zhiqing, come quickly, a educated youth has fainted."

When Zhou Ziwen heard someone calling him, his heart tightened. He immediately put down the sickle in his hand and hurried towards the direction where the voice came from.

When he arrived at the edge of the field, he saw several educated youth gathered together, looking a little flustered.

He hurried forward, parted the crowd, and saw a young female educated youth lying on the ground with a pale face. It was obvious that she had suffered from heatstroke due to the high-intensity labor during the autumn harvest and the hot weather.

"Hurry, carry her to a shady place." Zhou Ziwen directed the people around him, carefully lifted the female educated youth, and moved her to a nearby big tree.

He knew this educated youth, her name seemed to be Li Lanhua, and she had just been sent to the countryside a few months ago.

He squatted down, checked Li Lanhua's breathing and pulse, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that her life was not in danger.

Then, he took out the cooling oil he carried with him from his pocket, applied it on Li Lanhua's temples and philtrum, and massaged gently.

"Who has water?" Zhou Ziwen looked up and asked.

An educated youth handed Zhou Ziwen a kettle, and he took it and gently sprinkled the water on Li Lanhua's forehead and neck to help her cool down.

After a while, Li Lanhua's eyelids moved and she slowly opened her eyes. She saw Zhou Ziwen and was a little confused: "I...what's wrong with me?"

"You had heatstroke. Are you feeling better now?" Zhou Ziwen asked with concern.

Li Lanhua nodded and said weakly: "I feel much better now. Thank you, Zhou Zhiqing."

Zhou Ziwen stood up and said to the educated youth around him: "Everyone continue to work, pay attention to heatstroke prevention, if you feel uncomfortable, stop and rest immediately."

The educated youth nodded in understanding. Zhou Ziwen gave a few more instructions, then helped Li Lanhua stand up and let her rest under the shade of the tree. (End of this chapter)
