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

Back in his own yard, Zhou Ziwen took Tayun and set out again like a sweet potato field.

After a day or two of searching, he had dug half of the sweet potato field in the village, and he planned to finish digging the remaining half today.

Although there must be some omissions, he couldn't find them even if he could not find them.

And he has gained a lot, and there are still more than two hundred kilograms piled at home!

The whole morning was spent in the hard work of Tayun.

When work was about to end at noon, Zhou Ziwen also went home early to avoid being seen by others.

It's not that I'm afraid that others will see me, but mainly that I'm afraid that others will be jealous.

With a dog's nose that walks on the clouds, the sweet potatoes in the field seem to be waiting for him to pick them up, and they are harvested from time to time.

That is Zhou Ziwen. If it were another person, it would not be long before his back and legs hurt and he would be unable to walk.

Digging sweet potatoes is not as easy as imagined.

When I got home, the Chen sisters were not back yet.

After he put away the sweet potatoes and gave Tayun a bath, the Chen sisters came back from outside.

"Brother Ziwen, can you help me with anything?" Chen Qiaoyi jumped in.

"It's okay. I'll take care of it myself. You can go help my sister cook!"

Seeing this girl's lively and cute appearance, Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but smile.

"Then I'll help my sister cut the pickles."

The green cabbage heads have been replaced, and they are going to make pickles during these few days of free time.

They made this batch of pickles together with Shen Zhaodi, half of the family.

"Okay, then you can do it first and come to me when you need help."

Zhou Ziwen was so lazily basked in the sun outside that he didn't want to move.

After giving Tayun a bath, Zhou Ziwen sunbathed in the yard.

He found that the Educated Youth Courtyard was quite quiet today. Normally, there would have been noisy cooking at the Educated Youth Courtyard, but now there was no sound.

What he didn't know was that the reason why the Educated Youth Institute was so quiet was because those who were eligible for quotas went to the production team to guard them again, and they didn't even have time to eat.

The remaining people who were not eligible for the quota were also in a very low mood, and they were not even in the mood to joke.

Although there is only one quota currently available, the person who gets this quota will leave this place soon and will not have to continue to suffer in the countryside.

Thinking of having to stay in the countryside for several more years, how can these people still be in the mood to joke?

They also thought about what happened yesterday. Those of them who were not qualified to obtain quotas might offend the village cadres if they followed those old educated youths to make noise.

Whether it succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with them.

But they still have to stay in the countryside. If the village cadres don't like them, they don't have to make arrangements personally. They just reveal their intentions and the team leader below will naturally take care of the matter.

It is estimated that by then, a more difficult life will be waiting for them.

Although several cadres of the production team may not take them seriously, but what if?

With just one word, they can be beaten to death.

Thinking of this, the educated youths suddenly became gloomy, and none of them even felt like cooking.

And those old educated youths who went to guard the production teams had little to gain.

No matter how they argued, the attitude of the production team was obvious: there should be only one quota for worker, peasant, and soldier college students, or nothing.

And they were given a deadline. If they didn't submit their quota tonight, the quota would be forfeited.

Although they dare not deny quotas to educated youths, if the educated youths themselves don’t want them, then that’s no problem, and they don’t want them anyway.

Now, the pressure is on these old educated youths.

Everyone wants a place in the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University, but there is only one place. Who should be given it specifically needs to be discussed.

After they came out of the production team, the alliance of old educated youths also officially announced its dissolution.

Everyone has different ideas, thinking about how to get the only spot.

"Haha." Seeing the performance of the educated youths, the captain of the production team smiled disdainfully.

The methods of a few young people are not as good as that of an old man like him.

He ate more salt than they ate rice.

After coming out of the production team, the old educated youths were all silent, and no one spoke first.

There is only one quota, and everyone knows in their hearts that the two captains of the Educated Youth Academy are the most likely to get the quota.

Chen Yang and Liu Lingling looked at each other, their eyes a little wandering.

They all know in their hearts that this quota is probably created among them.

But who will get this spot still has to be fought for.

From this moment on, the two have regarded each other as their rivals.

Since they can't get more places, they can only compete for the only place now. This is their only way out.

Neither Chen Yang nor Liu Lingling wanted to give up this spot.

Back at the Educated Youth Academy, the educated youths discussed it and finally decided to vote. Whoever gets the most votes will get the quota.

At this time, the qualified old educated youths became restless. Although they may not have hope, no one wanted to give up.

As captains of the Educated Youth Academy, Chen Yang and Liu Lingling are the most active.

Neither of them has the confidence to win, but they are determined not to give up until they achieve their goals.

As soon as they finished eating, Chen Yang and Liu Lingling began to walk around in unison, trying to canvass votes for themselves.

Because the two of them had some influence in the Educated Youth Academy, both of them had good gains.

When they got to work in the afternoon, Chen Yang and Liu Lingling set their sights on Zhou Ziwen and the others.

Everyone knows that Zhou Ziwen, the Chen sisters, Shen Zhaodi, and Zhou Chaoyang are in the same group.

As long as they, or rather Zhou Ziwen, support them, the quota for workers, peasants and soldiers college students cannot be said to be guaranteed, but it will definitely be of great help to them.

However, the club is currently at work, and they cannot come to the door. They can only wait until after work is over.

……

In the afternoon, Zhou Ziwen took Tayun and continued to wander around the sweet potato field.

He has almost finished circling the sweet potato fields in the village. After today, he will prepare to move the battlefield and continue circling the sweet potato fields.

Time flew by, and before it was time to get off work, Zhou Ziwen had finished turning the sweet potato field.

The harvest in the afternoon was not much, only fifty or sixty pounds.

The total number of sweet potatoes dug in the past few days should be about 400 kilograms.

There are so many sweet potatoes that I can’t even finish them all.

He planned to make part of the sweet potatoes into sweet potato starch and another part into dried sweet potatoes to serve as snacks for the two sisters.

Finally, make some sweet potato flour. Well, this flour is the flour of vermicelli.

Sweet potato vermicelli, whether it is stewed in soup or eaten in hot pot, is delicious if you add a little bit of it.

When he got home, Zhou Ziwen didn't waste any time. He found some sweet potatoes, washed them, and prepared them to make sweet potato starch.

Well, I should say sweet potato starch.

Sweet potato starch has many uses. You can add a little when frying meat to keep the meat smooth and tender.

It can also be used directly to make smooth meat or boiled meat, which is a special delicacy.
