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

"Brother Ziwen, this is for you to wipe your hands with."

Seeing that Zhou Ziwen had some oil on his hands after finishing the buns, Chen Qiaoyi handed over two pieces of toilet paper.

"Oh, okay." Zhou Ziwen was stunned for a moment, then a happy smile appeared on his face.

It feels good to feel like someone cares about you.

In fact, what he didn't know was that the toilet paper given by Chen Qiaoyi was not simple.

There were no sanitary napkins in this era. If the conditions at home were good, toilet paper would be used with menstrual belts.

Those with poor family conditions would put plant ashes in cloth bags.

If he hadn't been close to him, Zhou Ziwen wouldn't be able to enjoy this treatment!

The walk home was a bit difficult.

Zhou Ziwen is physically strong and is fine, mainly because of this girl Chen Qiaoyi.

It's dawn now, and people outside have come out to work.

On the way back, pedestrians would pass by from time to time.

Zhou Ziwen couldn't help even if he wanted to.

Again, this era is very strict about the relationship between men and women.

Sometimes when the relationship is a little closer, there will be some gossip.

Although he didn't pay special attention to it, Zhou Ziwen also knew that there were vague rumors in the village that his relationship with the Chen sisters was abnormal.

After all, he and the Chen sisters lived in Wu Dagang's house at the same time and stayed together every day before and after work. It was hard not to think of them.

But it doesn't matter now. Zhou Ziwen can openly declare that Chen Qiaoyi is his target.

In this way, no matter how close the relationship between them is, no one will gossip.

They walked and stopped all the way, and by the time they returned to the village, it was almost eleven o'clock.

Chen Shiying is busy cooking on the stove built by Zhou Ziwen.

The construction team to help them build their house had already arrived.

The yard is piled with straw and rafters, and we are just waiting for the time to install the rafters, purlins, and then spread the straw to finish.

Zhou Ziwen took out the cigarettes from his bag, walked around the team, and said some nice words.

After chatting with these elders for a while, Zhou Ziwen also went to help cook.

He had agreed with Uncle Wu to make a stir-fried eel for him to try.

No, in order to make this dish, he also bought some seasonings.

Time always flies when you are busy, and in a blink of an eye, twelve o'clock is coming.

Just as the construction team was preparing to put up the beam, Uncle Wu came with two strings of firecrackers and Aunt Chen.

"Xiao Zhou, please take these two strings of firecrackers and set them off. You and Xiao Chen's family will set off one string each in their house." Wu Dagang said with a smile.

"Oh, okay, thank you, Uncle Wu." Zhou Ziwen hurriedly took it.

He was really not prepared for this thing. After all, in this day and age, problems can easily arise if you do anything a little out of line.

But since Uncle Wu brought the firecrackers, there must be no problem.

After all, people know best whether they can set off firecrackers.

Soon, with the sound of firecrackers, Zhou Ziwen and his family's house was officially built.

Aunt Chen left work early today and came over to help them, fearing that they would be too busy.

Zhou Ziwen didn't need to worry about the beam installation. The villagers who were doing the construction were the experts in this area.

After three strokes, five divisions and two divisions, the beams were erected.

The next step is to lay straw on the beams to prevent rain leakage.

Soon, the educated youth also left work.

Zhou Ziwen quickly came out to spread cigarettes and candies.

Building a house is a great joyous event, and it is the rule to send out wedding smoke and scatter wedding candy.

The educated youths also came to the house with food as agreed.

Among them, the two educated youth captains Chen Yang and Liu Lingling brought them gifts, which was quite particular.

After some polite greetings, the people in the Educated Youth Institute began to get busy.

Some helped set up tables and benches, while others helped make noodles and wash vegetables. They were all busy.

Zhou Ziwen also took the opportunity to show off his skills and made a stir-fried eel.

Because of the sufficient seasoning, a strong aroma emitted from the yard as soon as the eel was taken out of the pot.

"Hey, you can do it. So you really know how to cook?" Wu Dagang said in surprise when he saw this scene.

Originally, he thought that Zhou Ziwen was the kind of young master from the city who didn't understand anything!

It turned out that I didn’t expect that I could actually cook, and it seemed to taste pretty good.

"Hehe, I just said I can cook!" Zhou Ziwen said with a proud smile.

"I didn't expect that the eel that we usually don't like to eat would be so delicious when made." Wu Dagang sighed.

"Yes, but I only use enough ingredients. Normally I wouldn't be willing to eat like this." Zhou Ziwen explained.

The eel is delicious, but it consumes a lot of fuel.

In this era of shortage of food and oil, his approach was a bit wasteful.

Zhou Ziwen also knew this, so he explained it in advance to prevent others from gossiping.

"Brother Ziwen, it smells so good! I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so good." Chen Qiaoyi stood next to Zhou Ziwen with a proud look on his face.

"Haha, if you want to eat it in the future, I will cook it for you!" Zhou Ziwen said.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Shiying's eyes wandered, but she decided in her heart to interrogate their relationship when no one was around.

Her intuition told her that ever since they went to the county town, their relationship had become different.

Soon, the houses of Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters were officially completed.

The food in the kitchen is also ready.

Everyone sat together and had a lively meal.

Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters are not stingy people, and their meals are very sumptuous.

Meat dishes include: stir-fried leeks with eggs, braised pork with potatoes, and stir-fried eels.

Vegetables include: braised eggplant, stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried green beans, and stir-fried pumpkin.

Finally there is a side dish soup.

The staple food is Erhe noodle steamed buns.

A whole eight dishes were served on the table, which was enough to earn a lot of face.

Uncle Wu is the village secretary and the oldest person present.

Before the banquet started, he spoke on behalf of Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters and said a few pleasant words.

"Today is a happy day. Zhou Ziwen, Comrades Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi built a house in our village. This is a great thing for integrating into the collective. It represents the educated youth..."

In the cheers of the crowd, everyone drank and ate.

As today's protagonist, Zhou Ziwen must accompany everyone to drink.

Fortunately, he was a good drinker and basically accepted everyone who came, and even took the opportunity to give a toast.

However, Zhou Ziwen obviously underestimated the drinking capacity of these big men.

Twenty kilograms of 60-degree red sorghum was loose and white. At the end of the drink, there was not much left.

Everyone basically has a pound on their head.

As today's protagonist, Zhou Ziwen drank the most. Even if he had a good drinking capacity, he was still in a daze at the end of the drink and didn't even know how to leave the show.

On the other side, while he was still sleeping soundly, Chen Shiying called her sister to their yard and interrogated her.

"Are you dating Brother Zhou?" Chen Shiying looked at her sister and observed her expression.

"Sister, how do you know? I haven't told you yet!" Chen Qiaoyi looked at her sister in surprise.

"Are you really in love? When did it happen?" Chen Shiying asked hurriedly after receiving her sister's confirmation.

At this moment, she didn't know what kind of emotion she was feeling. She seemed vaguely disappointed and relieved at the same time.
