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

After much haste, Zhou Ziwen finally arrived at the county town.

It was also because he couldn't ride a bike on this day, otherwise he would have arrived long ago.

After arriving in the county town, Zhou Ziwen went straight to the bookstore.

Although the weather is very cold now and everyone is staying at home during the winter, bookstores still have to be open.

Look, when Zhou Ziwen arrived at the bookstore, although the door was mostly closed, the lights inside were still on.

"Hey, Ziwen, you're back!"

As soon as he entered the door, Li Guangwen, who was warming himself by the fire in the bookstore, felt the cold air coming in.

When I looked up, I saw Zhou Ziwen who had just walked in.

"Well, I came back the day before yesterday. I wanted to come and wish Uncle Li a happy new year!" Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

"Hey, it's so cold, why are you here to pay New Year's greetings? But you came at the right time, I just happened to have a backlog of information here, you can take it back and translate it later!"

Li Guangwen poured Zhou Ziwen a cup of hot water.

"Okay." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

Since I'm free anyway, I might as well translate some materials and earn some extra money.

I have to say, being a translator really makes money in this era.

Since taking on the translation job, Zhou Ziwen has earned several hundred yuan.

Because the weather was too cold and there were not many people in the bookstore, Zhou Ziwen chatted with Li Guangwen inside.

Zhou Ziwen is knowledgeable and has so many skills that he can talk about any topic.

Li Guangwen is not bad either. He has been running a bookstore for many years and can be said to be knowledgeable.

Although not as good as Zhou Ziwen, he is better than ordinary people.

In addition, the two of them have similar personalities, so they can chat about anything under the sun.

After this chat, it was soon lunch time.

Usually Li Guangwen brings his own lunch and eats it after heating it up in the bookstore.

But today Zhou Ziwen came and he insisted on treating him, and Zhou Ziwen couldn't refuse.

So the two of them packed up and went to a nearby state-owned restaurant.

As the host, of course Li Guangwen will treat us today.

He didn't give Zhou Ziwen a chance to refuse.

As soon as I walked in, I ran over to order food.

Zhou Ziwen didn't care about this. Given their relationship, it didn't matter who paid the bill.

There weren't many people in the state-owned restaurant. After all, it was very cold and everyone wanted to stay at home.

Li Guangwen ordered several of the restaurant's signature dishes, including braised pork, stir-fried pork slices, and a dish of cabbage stewed with vermicelli, and asked for two bottles of soda.

After a while, the dishes were served one after another, steaming hot, instantly warming up the entire private room.

Li Guangwen smiled and called Zhou Ziwen to pick up his chopsticks: "Ziwen, come and try it. The chef of this state-owned restaurant is very good. Although it is not as good as those big restaurants, it is still top-notch in our small county."

Zhou Ziwen was not polite either. He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. The soft, glutinous and sweet taste spread in his mouth all at once. He nodded and praised:

"Well, Uncle Li, this taste is really authentic, fatty but not greasy, moderately salty and sweet, delicious."

Li Guangwen was happy to see that Zhou Ziwen was satisfied with the meal. The two continued chatting while eating. The topic ranged from the latest news in the county town to the development and changes in the village.

After the meal, I felt satisfied and happy.

After finishing their meal, the two left the state-owned restaurant. The cold wind outside made their bodies, which were warm just after their meal, shiver.

"Uncle Li, it's still cold today. I have to hurry back to the village, otherwise the road will be even more difficult to travel if it's too late." Zhou Ziwen said as he wrapped his clothes around himself.

"Okay, then you be careful on the road. I'll pack the information for you later. Just remember to finish translating it as soon as possible when you take it back, and don't tire yourself out." Li Guangwen reminded.

The two returned to the bookstore, and Li Guangwen took out the materials that had been sorted out long ago, carefully packed them in a cloth bag, and handed it to Zhou Ziwen.

Zhou Ziwen took the bag, exchanged a few words with Li Guangwen, and then set off on the road back to the village.

The road back to the village seemed even longer because of the cold weather. Zhou Ziwen tightened the scarf around his neck and quickened his pace.

By the time we reached the village, the sun had already begun to set. The afterglow of the sun shone on the roofs and ridges of the village, giving the entire village a light golden hue.

Smoke has started to come out of the chimneys in the village, which means that each household has started to prepare dinner.

Zhou Ziwen looked at the familiar scene, his heart filled with warmth. He thought that today's trip to the county town was quite interesting. Not only did he pay New Year's greetings, but he also got some work. This day was quite fulfilling. Then he walked quickly towards his home.

When he returned home, little Yueyue was running around the house.

It's so cute, with its small stature swaying as it walks.

There were several stoves burning in the room at this time, and a warm breath was blowing in the air.

As soon as she entered the door, little Yueyue found Zhou Ziwen. The little girl rushed towards him while calling "Dad".

Zhou Ziwen quickly squatted down, opened his arms and caught little Yueyue steadily.

He picked up Yueyue and kissed her rosy little face. He smiled and asked, "How was your good behavior today, Yueyue? Did you miss your daddy?"

Little Yueyue replied in a baby voice: "Good boy, I miss daddy."

Zhou Ziwen's heart was filled with joy, and he walked into the house holding little Yueyue.

Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying were busy in the kitchen, preparing dinner.

Hearing the noise, the two of them poked their heads out of the kitchen.

Seeing Zhou Ziwen coming back, Chen Qiaoyi smiled and said, "Brother Ziwen, you're back. How are you today?"

Zhou Ziwen smiled and responded: "It was good. I met Uncle Li and brought back some translation materials."

As he said this, he placed the cloth bag in his hand on the table beside him.

Chen Shiying came over, took Zhou Ziwen's scarf and coat, hung them on the hanger beside her, and said, "It's cold outside, come sit by the stove and warm yourself up."

Zhou Ziwen sat by the stove holding little Yueyue, feeling the warm fire.

Little Yueyue twisted her body in his arms, pointed at the soup stewing on the stove, and said, "Daddy, drink some soup."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "Okay, let's drink together later."

At this time, Zhao Xiaoya also came out from the inner room, saw Zhou Ziwen, and nodded slightly.

Zhou Ziwen smiled at her and said, "Xiaoya, you have worked hard during this period. Thanks to you for taking care of the family."

Zhao Xiaoya said softly: "Brother Ziwen, this is what I should do."

Dinner was ready soon and the table was filled with sumptuous dishes.

In addition to the soup stewing on the stove, there are also fragrant stir-fried dishes and steaming steamed buns.

The family sat around the table and started eating.

Little Yueyue sat in the children's high chair, holding the spoon and eating with relish.

Zhou Ziwen looked at the cute little Yueyue and his heart was filled with happiness.

After the meal, the women cleaned up the dishes while Zhou Ziwen sat aside, looking through the translation materials given to him by Li Guangwen.

These materials cover a wide range of content, some are about agricultural technology, and some are about industrial production.

Zhou Ziwen took a quick look and found some ideas in it, but he also had some use for it.
