Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

"Ziwen, I heard your baby was born, so we came to take a look."

Zhang Wenli spoke with a smile.

"Yes, yes, let's go and see the child."

Zhou Qiang nodded quickly.

"The child is sleeping in there! Do you want to go and see?"

Zhou Ziwen asked with a smile.

Although he knew that Zhou Qiang and Zhang Wenli came not only to see the children, Zhou Ziwen was in a good mood because they also brought gifts.

Although it was not an expensive gift, just a bag of candy and a few eggs, at least the attitude was good.

"I want to see it." Zhang Wenli nodded impatiently.

Speaking of which, Zhou Ziwen was the first among the educated youth to have a child.

Girls are naturally emotional. Even though they have never met their children, they feel very close to them.

"Haha, go ahead, it's inside the house." Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.

"Brother Qiang, you guys went home to visit your family for the New Year, right? How was it going?"

Turning around, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Qiang started chatting.

"Yes, I went home." Zhou Qiang nodded, with a trace of emotion on his face, "Everything is fine at home, but my parents are old and their health is not as good as before."

Zhou Ziwen patted Zhou Qiang on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry too much. It's normal for parents to have some minor health problems as they are old. We just need to pay more attention to them."

The two chatted about family matters for a while, and when it was almost time, Zhou Qiang hesitated and said, "Ziwen, I heard that the number of workers, peasants and soldiers in the village this year has not been determined yet. Do you know the news?"

"I really don't know this, but you know it. I've only been back for a few days." Zhou Ziwen shook his head, but he suddenly realized something.

No wonder they were so enthusiastic, visiting and bringing gifts, it turned out they had something going on!

After hearing what Zhou Ziwen said, Zhou Qiang showed a hint of disappointment on his face: "Is that so? I thought you could know some news."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and consoled him, "Brother Qiang, don't worry. The village will definitely make arrangements for the quota. Just be patient and wait."

"This is the only way. I hope I can get my chance this time." Zhou Qiang nodded helplessly.

He wanted to ask Zhou Ziwen for help, but after spending so much time together, he also knew what kind of person Zhou Ziwen was.

He would definitely not get involved in something like this.

At this time, Zhang Wenli came out of the house and said with a smile: "Ziwen, your child is so cute, I like him just by looking at him."

"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Wenli. The child is still young, and I'll have to trouble you to take care of him in the future." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

"This is what we should do. We are all educated youth, and we should help each other." Zhang Wenli responded quickly.

Then they chatted about other things in the village and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"Ziwen, we need your help with something."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Wenli spoke.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhou Ziwen frowned.

He thought Zhang Wenli was asking him to help get quotas for workers, peasants and soldiers in the production team!
"Haha, the pigs we raised have grown up. Wenli and the others raised them better, so they are just big enough to be handed in. We raised them worse, so we are going to kill them and eat the meat."

"But we don't know how to kill pigs, so we thought of you!" Zhou Qiang explained with a smile.

"Yes, Ziwen, don't worry, we have the necessary rules and will not let you work in vain." Zhang Wenli also echoed.

She said the rules were, of course, to help.

In the village, helping to kill pigs is not for free.

After listening to their request, Zhou Ziwen thought for a while, then nodded with a smile: "Okay, I can help you with slaughtering the pigs, but I have a condition." "What condition? Tell me." Zhou Qiang and Zhang Wenli asked hurriedly.

"I don't want anything else, just give me the pig offal." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

Pig offal includes pig heart, liver, lungs, intestines, etc. Although they are not pork, they are very delicious if handled properly.

"No problem, I'll give you all the pig offal."

Zhou Qiang and Zhang Wenli agreed immediately.

For them, pig offal is difficult to process. Without some skills, the taste of the offal will be as bad as shit.

But it’s different in Zhou Ziwen’s hands. With his cooking skills, everything he makes is delicious.

"Okay, when are you going to slaughter the pig, please tell me in advance so I can prepare." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

"How about tomorrow? Is that okay with you?" Zhang Wenli asked expectantly.

"Okay, then tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen agreed readily.

"Thank you so much, Ziwen." Zhou Qiang said gratefully.

"It's okay, we are all friends, and it's only natural for us to help each other." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.

Then they chatted about some other things until it was almost time for dinner, when Zhou Qiang and Zhang Wenli got up to say goodbye.

"Ziwen, we'll go back first. We'll come to see you tomorrow morning." Zhou Qiang said.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen smiled and saw them out.

At dinner, Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying sat around the table, enjoying the dinner carefully prepared by Chen Shiying while talking about Zhou Qiang and Zhang Wenli's requests during the day.

"Yiyi, Shiying, I'm going to help Zhou Qiang and Zhang Wenli kill a pig tomorrow. They promised to give me pig offal as a reward." Zhou Ziwen said to the two sisters with a smile.

"Killing pigs? Brother Ziwen, can you kill pigs?" Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously.

Although she knew that Zhou Ziwen was a good cook, butchering a pig and cooking are two different things!
"Haha, this is not difficult. You just need to be brave enough." Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Ziwen is the best." Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.

"Haha! Of course." Zhou Ziwen looked complacent.

"By the way, Ziwen, I just heard from Zhang Wenli that many of the educated youths in the Youth League have returned." Chen Shiying said.

"Yes, everyone went home to visit relatives during the New Year holidays. Now that the holiday is over, it's natural for us to come back and continue working." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

He had just heard about this from Zhou Qiang.

"Spring ploughing is about to begin, and I don't know if there will be any new educated youth arriving."

Chen Qiaoyi said with some concern for chaos.

"Based on past years' experience, it is estimated that another group of educated youth will go to the countryside before the spring ploughing."

Zhou Ziwen opened his mouth to answer.

He actually talked about this with Wu Dagang.

This year is 1975, and the state's policy of sending educated youth to the countryside is still being implemented. As a place to receive educated youth, Dabazi Village is bound to receive them.

"If there are new educated youth coming, the Youth House will be lively." Chen Shiying said with a smile.

"Yes, there will be something exciting to watch then." Zhou Ziwen agreed with a smile.

Every time a new batch of educated youth arrived, they would always cause some trouble, and they were almost used to it.

But they didn't live in the Youth League Home, so even if something happened, it wouldn't have much to do with them.

At that time, they just need to watch the show carefully. (End of this chapter)
