Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

Chapter 887 Rejection
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone was eating and chatting.

President Fu raised his glass and said to Zhou Ziwen, "Ziwen, I want to toast you and thank you for your contribution to the agricultural development of our commune."

Zhou Ziwen also picked up his glass and responded modestly: "President Fu is too polite. This is what I should do."

The two of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

President Fu put down his glass, looked at Zhou Ziwen, and said earnestly: "Ziwen, your ability is obvious to all. The success of the mushroom cultivation base is inseparable from your hard work and wisdom."

"Thank you for the compliment, President Fu. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts." Zhou Ziwen smiled and waved his hand.

"Ziwen, you are too modest." Wu Dagang interrupted, "Your skills and your brain are the wealth of our commune."

"Yes, Ziwen, we all see your abilities." Niu Jiefang also echoed.

"Thank you for your praise, leaders." Zhou Ziwen bowed.

"Ziwen, have you ever thought about using your talents on a broader stage?" President Fu suddenly changed the subject and asked tentatively.

"What does President Fu mean?" Zhou Ziwen was stunned and had a bad guess in his mind.

"What I mean is, are you willing to come to the commune to work and be a cadre?" President Fu asked directly.

In fact, this was not the first time he had mentioned this, but Zhou Ziwen had rejected him twice before.

But now seeing how outstanding Zhou Ziwen was, he couldn't help but bring it up.

When Zhou Ziwen heard what President Fu said, he was a little surprised, but not shocked.

After all, it's normal for someone as outstanding as him to be valued by others.

But Zhou Ziwen was not prepared to agree.

The college entrance examination will be resumed in two years.

By then, he will be able to soar to the sky and will not have to get involved with the commune at all.

After all, the commune is different from other places. Once you go in, it will be difficult to get out.

With his ability, what can't he do?
It is impossible to work part-time, and it is impossible to work part-time in this life.

Zhou Ziwen had his own plans in mind. He picked up his wine glass and said to the president with a smile:

"President Fu, I appreciate your kindness. But I think I am more suitable to work in the village. I am familiar with everything here and can serve you better."

President Fu saw Zhou Ziwen's firm attitude and knew that it was useless to say more, so he smiled and said:
"Ziwen, you are a young man with your own ideas, and I admire you very much. Since you don't want to come to the commune, I won't force you. But if you change your mind in the future, you can always come to me."

"Thank you, President Fu." Zhou Ziwen said gratefully.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this and continue drinking." President Fu raised his glass with a smile.

Everyone raised their glasses and continued drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere remained warm.

On the side, Wu Dagang and the team leader breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I knew Zhou Ziwen would not agree, I still wanted to be safe.

If Zhou Ziwen really agreed, their Dabazi Village would suffer a great loss.

Although President Fu felt a little regretful, he also understood Zhou Ziwen's choice.

Everyone has his or her own pursuits and ideals, and he respects Zhou Ziwen's decision.

After having a good meal and a drink, President Fu and others, accompanied by Wu Dagang, continued to inspect work in the village.

Zhou Ziwen found an excuse and left early.

When I got home, Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi were both there.

"Shiying, have the workers at the mushroom cultivation base finished their work?"

Zhou Ziwen asked.

"Well, I saw that there was nothing to do over there, so I let them go home early." Chen Shiying nodded in response.

"Is there someone on duty at the base?" Zhou Ziwen asked with concern.

"Don't worry, I have arranged people to take turns on duty, and I guarantee that nothing will go wrong." Chen Shiying replied with a smile.

"That's good." Zhou Ziwen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Ziwen, the leader of the commune came today. Do you want to work there again?" Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously. Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded: "Yes, President Fu mentioned it, but I didn't agree."

"Hehe, Brother Ziwen, it's because you're too outstanding that the commune leaders have always wanted to poach you." Chen Qiaoyi joked with a smile.

"Of course not. Excellent people can never hide their brilliance." Zhou Ziwen looked proud.

"Haha, you are really not modest." Chen Shiying was amused by Zhou Ziwen.

"Of course." Zhou Ziwen raised his head.

"By the way, Ziwen, do you want to eat some kiwi fruit? Zhou Chaoyang brought some over just now."

Chen Shiying asked.

"Kiwi? Where did it come from?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.

"I don't know, it seems like someone in the county gave it to him." Chen Shiying shook her head.

"Haha, never mind, just eat!"

Zhou Ziwen shook his head.

Zhou Chaoyang has connections in the county, so it's normal for him to get this kind of thing.

After chatting with the two sisters for a while and teasing Xiao Yueyue for a while, seeing that it was still raining outside, Zhou Ziwen lay down on the kang and prepared to rest for half a day.

He picked up a book and read for a while. When he felt sleepy, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he woke up, the rain outside had stopped.

"Brother Ziwen, you're awake!"

As soon as Zhou Ziwen came out of the house, he saw the two sisters talking together with Shen Zhaodi, Tang Yaoyao and others.

"Well, wake up."

Zhou Ziwen nodded.

"Ziwen, we were just talking about going to the mountains to pick wild vegetables later! Do you want to go?"

Chen Shiying asked.

"Digging wild vegetables?" Zhou Ziwen was stunned.

"Yes, now that spring ploughing is over, everyone is running to the mountains to dig up some wild vegetables to improve their meals." Chen Shiying explained with a smile.

"Oh, so, I'll go with you, and take Tayun and the others with me."

Zhou Ziwen thought about it and felt that going to the mountains to dig wild vegetables was also a good choice.

There's nothing to do at home anyway, so why not go out and play with them?

"Brother Ziwen, I want to go too." Chen Qiaoyi looked at Zhou Ziwen pitifully.

"Then you go! I'll take care of the children at home." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

Anyway, with Tayun and the others around, Zhou Ziwen is not worried about their safety.

Under his training, the dogs grew very strong.

Even if you encounter a tiger or leopard, you can fight off one or two of them.

"Thank you, Brother Ziwen!" Chen Qiaoyi said happily.

"Ziwen, then where shall we go?" Chen Shiying looked at Zhou Ziwen and asked uncertainly.

"Go ahead, and be careful." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

"Okay, we will pay attention." Chen Shiying agreed, and went out with Chen Qiaoyi, Shen Zhaodi, and Tang Yaoyao.

They carried baskets and shovels, and walked towards the back mountain, talking and laughing.

Zhou Ziwen looked at their backs as they left, smiled and shook his head.

He returned to the room and looked at little Yueyue lying on the kang, his eyes full of love.

He touched Xiao Yueyue's face, and Xiao Yueyue stretched out her little hand, grabbed his fingers, and giggled.
