"Let's go and see if the ox carts in the village have left."

After getting off the car, Zhou Ziwen called Zhou Chaoyang and the two sisters to follow.

If it were a normal day, there would definitely be ox carts.

But the village is still hibernating, and it’s so cold outside, so it’s not certain whether there will be any ox carts.

Zhou Ziwen, his family and Zhou Chaoyang walked out of the Lushan County station. The breath they exhaled condensed into white mist in the cold air.

He tightened his cotton coat and looked up at the sky. Although it was still early, the winter mornings were always a bit desolate.

"I hope we're lucky enough to come across an ox cart." Zhou Ziwen thought to himself, but he didn't stop and led everyone to the ox cart stop in the village.

They passed through several alleys and came to the place where ox carts usually gathered.

This is usually one of the busiest places in the village, especially during the busy farming season, when ox carts come and go, transporting various crops and villagers.

But it is winter now, and most villagers choose to stay at home to avoid the cold, so the number of ox carts is naturally much smaller.

"Looks like we got lucky."

Zhou Ziwen saw an ox cart parked not far away. An old man was sitting on the shaft smoking a pipe, obviously waiting for someone.

Thanks to my good memory, I recognized that the old man was from Xiaobazi Village.

Dabazi Village and Xiaobazi Village are adjacent to each other, so you can go back by hitchhiking.

Zhou Ziwen showed a smile of surprise on his face. He walked up quickly and greeted the old man enthusiastically:

"Uncle Liu, why are you driving a sports car in such a cold weather?"

Uncle Liu raised his head and squinted for a while before recognizing Zhou Ziwen: "Hey, isn't this Zhou Zhiqing? Are you back from the city?"

"Yes, Uncle Liu, we just came back from Sijiu City and were wondering if we could get a ride back to the village." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

Uncle Liu waved the pipe in his hand and said with a hearty smile: "It's nothing, come on up, I also have to go back to the village, so I'll give you a ride on the way."

Zhou Ziwen thanked them quickly, then turned around and called Chen Qiaoyi, Chen Shiying, and Zhou Chaoyang: "Come here quickly, we have a car for you to take."

Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying held the children and stepped carefully on the pedals of the ox cart. Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang helped from below to ensure that they got on the cart safely.

"Please wait a moment! I'm waiting for someone and will leave soon." Uncle Liu said.

Zhou Ziwen and others nodded quickly to show their understanding.

They found a comfortable spot on the bullock cart and sat down and put their luggage away.

Little Yueyue waved her hands excitedly: "Let's take the ox cart, let's take the ox cart!"

Grandpa Liu looked at the children with a kind smile on his face: "These two children are so cute. Zhou Zhiqing, how are you doing in the city?"

Zhou Ziwen responded with a smile: "Uncle Liu, it's pretty good in the city. I met my family whom I haven't seen for a long time and visited many places."

Uncle Liu nodded: "That's good, that's good. It's not easy for you educated youth to come to our countryside. But you have also brought a lot of new things to the village."

At this time, Zhou Chaoyang asked curiously: "Uncle Liu, aren't your family members worried about you driving a sports car in such a cold weather?"

Uncle Liu took a puff of his pipe and said slowly, "My family members have advised me not to go out, but I can't sit still. Besides, the more money I can earn, the better, and it can also reduce the burden on my family."

After hearing this, everyone could not help but feel respect for Uncle Liu. In this cold winter day, Uncle Liu braved the severe cold to drive his car for his family. His diligence and tenacity are admirable.

After a while, the person Uncle Liu was waiting for still hadn't arrived.

Zhou Chaoyang was a little anxious. He was worried that it was too late and it would be even colder on the road.

Zhou Ziwen saw what Zhou Chaoyang was thinking and comforted him, "Chaoyang, don't worry. Wait a little longer. Uncle Liu certainly doesn't want to waste time."

Chen Qiaoyi also smiled and said, "Yes, it's so cold, and Uncle Liu is willing to wait for us. It's okay for us to wait a little longer."

After a while, footsteps were heard in the distance.

I saw a young man rushing over, shouting as he ran: "Uncle Liu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Uncle Liu smiled and said, "It's okay, come on up. Now that everyone is here, we'll set off."

The young man got on the ox cart and was slightly stunned when he saw Zhou Ziwen and others.

Uncle Liu introduced: "This is the educated youth from Dabazi Village. He just came back from the city and took our car back to the village."

The young man smiled and nodded: "So you are the educated youth comrades, hello."

Zhou Ziwen and others also greeted politely.

Uncle Liu waved the pipe in his hand and shouted, and the ox cart started slowly.

There is no wrong version in the 6 book forum!

The ox cart was moving along the country road. Although the speed was not fast, it was very stable.

The fields along the way were quiet, and occasionally a few sparrows could be seen foraging for food.

The mountains in the distance are covered with snow, like an ink painting.

Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan looked at the scenery outside the window excitedly and laughed happily from time to time.

Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying hugged the children tightly, fearing that they would get cold.

Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang chatted with Uncle Liu and the members of Xiaobazi Village. The topics ranged from trivial matters in the village to what they saw in the city. Everyone had a very pleasant conversation.

On this cold winter day, the ox cart is filled with warmth and laughter.

As the ox cart moved forward, they got closer and closer to Dabazi Village.

Zhou Ziwen looked at the familiar outline of the village, his heart filled with emotion.

In a blink of an eye, he had been in Dabazi Village for several years.

He will be leaving soon, and he is really reluctant to leave.

After all, he also put in a lot of effort in Dabazi Village.

The wooden wheels of the ox cart rolled slowly on the snow-covered road, making a creaking sound, as if telling the story of the countryside.

Zhou Ziwen's gaze fell on Dabazi Village in the distance, and his thoughts drifted back to the time when he first arrived here.

At that time, he was young and immature, and faced with the hard life in the countryside, his heart was full of confusion.

However, in this land, he gradually found his own place through his own efforts and wisdom.

He also recalled the warm times he spent with the Chen sisters. Those moments of supporting each other in difficulties and sharing joy have become the most precious memories in his life.

There is also the process of the mushroom cultivation base being built from scratch and gradually growing stronger. That is the light of hope that he leads the villagers towards prosperity.

"Uncle Liu, the village has changed a lot in recent years," Zhou Ziwen said with emotion.

Uncle Liu nodded and said, "Yes, thanks to you educated youth, you brought new ideas and technologies."

"Especially you, Zhou Zhiqing. The mushroom cultivation you started has made life better for many families."
