Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

"I'm afraid that won't work. It's not easy for me to interfere in matters decided by the captain." Zhou Ziwen shook his head.

Faced with Jiang Xiaohong's request, Zhou Ziwen decisively refused.

This kind of thing, don't say he has no relationship with them.

Even if they had some friendship, he didn't want to ask the captain and Wu Dagang for help.

Although he had asked for it, the captain and Wu Dagang would definitely be willing to give him this face.

"Comrade Ziwen, please plead for us! We really can't do that kind of work." Jiang Xiaohong pleaded.

"Comrade Xiaohong, the team leader asked you to work in the pig farm so that you can experience the hard life in the countryside. This is good for your growth." Zhou Ziwen explained patiently.

"Moreover, you are all educated youth, and you are here to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants. If you can't even endure this little hardship, how can you even talk about receiving re-education?"

After hearing Zhou Ziwen's words, Jiang Xiaohong and the other educated youth lowered their heads.

By now they had realized that forcing the captain to abdicate in the threshing ground today might be the stupidest thing they had ever done in their lives.

"Comrade Ziwen, we know we were wrong. We will definitely accept re-education in the future. Please plead for us!" Jiang Xiaohong said in a crying voice.

"Yes, Comrade Ziwen, we will work hard in the future and never make those excessive demands again." Another educated youth also pleaded.

Zhou Ziwen looked at them, sighed, and said, "I understand your feelings, but the captain's punishment is also for your own good. If you can't even endure this little hardship, how can you live in the countryside in the future?"

"You should go back first. I will talk to the captain about this when we go to work tomorrow to see what his attitude is."

Zhou Ziwen didn't say anything definite, he just said he would help ask.

Regardless of whether you can help or not, it’s okay to ask about the situation.

"Comrade Ziwen, thank you, thank you." Jiang Xiaohong and other educated youth said gratefully.

Although Zhou Ziwen did not agree explicitly, it was already good news for them.

"Okay, you guys go back first. I have to go busy too." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.

"Okay, Comrade Ziwen, we'll go back first. Thank you." Jiang Xiaohong and the other educated youth thanked Zhou Ziwen again and left his home.

After they left, Zhou Ziwen shook his head and turned back to the kitchen.

"Ziwen, what do those educated youth want from you?" Chen Shiying looked at Zhou Ziwen and asked curiously.

"They want me to talk to the team leader and ask them not to work in the pig farm anymore." Zhou Ziwen replied.

"You didn't agree, did you?" Chen Shiying asked.

"Of course I didn't agree. It's not my place to interfere in matters decided by the captain." Zhou Ziwen shook his head.

"Besides, this is also a lesson for them. If they can't even endure this little hardship, how can they live in the countryside in the future?"

"Ziwen, you are right. These educated youth are just too pampered. Unless they suffer a little, they will not understand the hardships of rural life." Chen Shiying said in agreement.

"Yes, I hope this incident will teach them a lesson!" Zhou Ziwen sighed.

The two chatted while busying themselves, and soon, dinner was ready.

After dinner, Zhou Ziwen and his family sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.

Little Yueyue was sleeping soundly in Chen Qiaoyi's arms, and the breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

"Huh? Is it raining?"

Suddenly, Zhou Ziwen felt a chill on his head.

He looked up and saw raindrops falling from the sky.

"Yiyi, Shiying, it's raining, let's go back to the house." Zhou Ziwen hurriedly reminded them.

He didn't want his precious daughter to be cold.

"Ah! Why didn't I feel it?"

Hearing this, Chen Qiaoyi quickly raised her head.

As soon as she raised her head, she felt a chill on her forehead.

"Come on, Yueyue, let's go inside." Chen Qiaoyi carried little Yueyue and hurried inside. "Why did the weather change so suddenly? It was fine just now." Chen Shiying was also a little surprised. She followed Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi into the house.

Zhou Ziwen closed the doors and windows, then took out a thin blanket from the cupboard and covered Xiao Yueyue with it.

"Fortunately, spring ploughing has been completed now. If it had been two days earlier, spring ploughing would have been delayed."

Back in the house, Zhou Ziwen said with some relief.

"Yes, the weather is really unpredictable, but now that spring plowing is over, it would be good to have some rain, which can quench the crops' thirst." Chen Shiying nodded.

"Well, spring rain is as precious as oil. This rain is good for the growth of crops." Zhou Ziwen agreed with a smile.

"Ziwen, are we still going to work at the production team tomorrow?" Chen Qiaoyi looked at Zhou Ziwen and asked worriedly.

"We are definitely going to go, but we don't know if the production team will be working there."

Zhou Ziwen opened his mouth to answer.

They are from the mushroom group. No matter whether it rains or not, they have to go to the mushroom growing base to work.

After all, where they work they won't get wet in the rain, unlike working in the fields.

However, if it rains heavily and the members of the production team do not go to work, they can leave early if they finish the work at hand.

"Well, let's get up tomorrow morning and see what happens." Chen Shiying nodded.

"Yeah." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

On the side, Chen Qiaoyi was coaxing little Yueyue to sleep.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhou Ziwen found a book and started reading it while sitting on the kang.

After a while, little Yueyue fell asleep on the kang.

Zhou Ziwen looked at Yueyue's peaceful sleeping face, his heart filled with warmth and satisfaction.

Although his life now is simple, it is full of happiness and joy.

He has a beloved wife, a lovely daughter, a stable job, and a group of harmonious neighbors.

He cherishes his current life and hopes to continue to be happy like this.

The next morning, Zhou Ziwen woke up and found that it was still raining outside.

But the rain has become much lighter, just a drizzle.

After getting up, Zhou Ziwen opened the hang-up panel and took a look.

In the panel, the gun skill has reached the maximum level.

【Max Gun Skills】

Zhou Ziwen was delighted, as the full-level marksmanship skill meant that he had reached the pinnacle in shooting.

Whether it is a pistol, rifle or shotgun, he can use it with ease and hit the target accurately.

"Looks like I can try my marksmanship when I have time."

Speaking of which, he hasn't used it much since he got the turtle box that Wu Dagang gave him.

After all, the turtle box is just for emergency use.

In fact, with his skills, he had no chance to use this thing at all.

After his marksmanship reached the maximum level, he took that skill off the shelf and replaced it with the carving skill.

[Engraving LV5] (60/500)
Although he had just idled, his carving skill had already reached level three.

This is all thanks to the skills of carpenters and stonemasons.

These two skills originally involve certain carving techniques.

However, the improvement of carving skills can also improve carpentry and stonemasonry skills to a certain extent.

It can be said that these three skills complement each other and form a virtuous circle. (End of this chapter)
