The Age of Rebirth: Winning since the educated youth went to the countryside

Zhou Ziwen received a lot of food.

The amount of food he received alone was more than that of the two sisters combined.

As the leader of the mushroom group, he brought a large sum of income to Dabazi Village this year.

For this purpose, Wu Dagang discussed with several leaders in the village and specially rewarded him with a batch of grain so that he would not have to worry about food and could make good contributions to the production team.

The sources of these grains are reasonable and legal, and no one can say no.

The villagers had no objection to this, after all, Zhou Ziwen's efforts were obvious to everyone.

Not only did he use his knowledge and skills to make the mushroom cultivation industry flourish, he also selflessly passed on the technology to everyone, leading the villagers towards the road to prosperity.

Zhou Ziwen looked at these heavy sacks, his heart filled with emotion.

He knew very well that the food was not just a material reward, but also the villagers' trust and expectations of him.

He secretly made up his mind to continue working hard and live up to everyone's love.

Of course, when the production team distributed grain, it was definitely more than just grain.

In addition to food, there are some other supplies.

For example, every household was allocated a certain amount of cooking oil, which has a rich aroma and is an important ingredient that is indispensable for villagers' daily cooking.

There are also some fresh vegetables. Although it is winter, the village cellar has stored a lot of cabbage, radishes and other vegetables. They are neatly stacked aside, waiting for the villagers to pick them up.

These vegetables not only enrich the villagers' tables, but also provide them with necessary nutrition.

In addition, since the village's breeding industry has achieved good results this year, especially the considerable egg production of the chicken farm, each family was allocated some extra eggs.

These eggs are round and plump with smooth shells, symbolizing new life and hope.

For the villagers, this is a rare delicacy, which is very suitable for supplementing nutrition or making various dishes.

After distributing the things, the money distribution that the villagers had been looking forward to finally arrived.

According to convention, the production team would make distributions based on each family’s work points.

Since Zhou Ziwen made great contributions to mushroom cultivation, pig farms, chicken farms, etc. this year, he obtained considerable work points, so he received much more money than others.

When Zhou Ziwen got his share of the money, his heart was filled with joy.

He carefully counted the banknotes in his hand. The brand new banknotes sparkled in the sunlight, as if carrying all his hard work and achievements in the past year.

At this time, other villagers and educated youth in the village were also immersed in the joy of dividing the money.

The villagers gathered together, with happy smiles on their faces, sharing with each other their gains and feelings of the year.

"This is really a bumper year! Thanks to Zhou Zhiqing, our lives are getting better and better." An old man said with a smile, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Yeah, we couldn't have gotten so many things and so much money in the past." An old lady echoed, holding the money tightly in her hand.

If the situation in previous years continues, they would be considered good if they could get 200 yuan.

But this year is different. Those who got more could get more than 400 yuan each, more than double that of previous years.

This income is more than enough for them to have a prosperous New Year.

The educated youth were equally excited.

Although their life in the village was hard, they also received corresponding rewards through their own efforts.

Zhou Chaoyang grinned, raised the money in his hand high, and shouted excitedly: "Wow, this year is really a bumper harvest! This money is much more than I thought."

Shen Zhaodi smiled with excitement in her eyes, and said softly:

"Yes, this is the first time I've earned so much money since I came to the countryside. This is all thanks to Brother Ziwen. Without him, we wouldn't be where we are today."

The other educated youth also nodded, and their attitude towards Zhou Ziwen turned into admiration.

At this time, the male educated youth team leader Zhou Qiang and the female educated youth team leader Zhao Xiaolan came to Zhou Ziwen together.

"Ziwen, we're going to hibernate soon. Many of us have to go back to the city to visit relatives. We plan to get together before we leave. What do you think?"

Zhou Qiang and Zhao Xiaolan looked at Zhou Ziwen expectantly, waiting for his response.

Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded, saying, "This is a good idea! We have all worked hard for a year, it's time to get together and relax."

"Great!" Zhou Qiang clapped his hands excitedly, "Then let's hold a party the night after tomorrow, at the Youth League Home. We can prepare food and cook together, and have a lively gathering."

"Okay, no problem." Zhou Ziwen agreed readily.

Zhao Xiaolan continued, "Ziwen, we know your cooking skills. You have to give us some guidance for this party. We want everyone to enjoy the meal and have fun."

"Don't worry, I will help." Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.

The news quickly spread among the educated youth, and everyone was looking forward to the gathering.

In the next two days, the educated youth were busy preparing the items needed for the party.

Some educated youth went to the village supply and marketing cooperative to buy some snacks and drinks, while others brought some special delicacies from their homes.

The female educated youth gathered together to discuss how to cook delicious dishes, while the male educated youth were responsible for cleaning the Youth House and arranging the venue.

On the day of the gathering, the educated youths all helped out, some washing vegetables, some cutting meat, and some making fire to cook, and the scene was very lively.

Zhou Ziwen also came to the Youth League Home. He guided the youth in cooking and taught them some cooking techniques.

"For this braised pork, you have to fry the meat until golden brown first. This will lock in the gravy and make it taste better." Zhou Ziwen said as he demonstrated.

"Wow, Brother Ziwen, you are so awesome!" a female educated youth said admiringly.

With everyone's joint efforts, delicious dishes came out one after another.

The table was filled with sumptuous dishes such as braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried vegetables, egg soup, as well as various special snacks brought by the educated youth from home.

As night fell, the educated youth sat around the dining table, and their laughter echoed throughout the educated youth compound.

Zhou Qiang stood up, raised the cup in his hand, and said, "Dear educated youth, this year we have spent a fulfilling and unforgettable year in Dabazi Village."

"During this year, we worked together, lived together, and grew together."

"Here, we would like to especially thank Zhou Ziwen. It is he who has led us on the road to prosperity and made our lives better and better. Let us applaud Zhou Ziwen together!"

The educated youth applauded and looked at Zhou Ziwen with gratitude and admiration.

Zhou Ziwen smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Don't say that, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I just did what I should do."

Then, everyone started to enjoy the food, chatting while eating and sharing the joys and sorrows of the past year.
