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

After getting Zhao Jie's address, Zhou Ziwen left Niushan Village and rushed all the way to the county town.

Zhou Ziwen doesn't like to procrastinate. If there is something that can be done, he will do it on the spot.

It took Zhou Ziwen half an hour to reach the county town.

After asking a few passers-by, I finally found the place.

The factory where Zhao Jie works is not big, with only two to three hundred people.

The layout of the factory is no different from those old factories in later generations. The only difference may be that it is older.

"Comrade, what do you do? This is a machinery factory. Leave now if you have nothing to do."

As soon as he reached the door, Zhou Ziwen was stopped by the uncle guarding the gate.

"I have something to ask, uncle. I need to find someone. His name is Zhao Jie, and he works in the first workshop."

Zhou Ziwen spoke quickly and handed over a cigarette while speaking.

"Are you looking for Master Zhao? Wait, I'll go call someone for you."

Handsome people easily gain people's favor, regardless of gender.

Seeing such a handsome guy handing him a cigarette, the security guard was very impressed and agreed to help him call for help.

"Thank you, uncle."

Zhou Ziwen quickly thanked him.

"It's okay, just wait a moment!"

The security guard nodded, then handed the door-watching task over to another uncle in the security room, and he went to help Zhou Ziwen call someone.

The gatekeeper was quite efficient and soon came out with a man in his thirties.

"you are?"

Zhao Jie came up to Zhou Ziwen and looked at him with some confusion.

He searched his memory but had no impression of the handsome young man in front of him.

"Hello, Brother Zhao. I am the health worker in Dabazi Village. It was Uncle Zhao who told me that you work here."

Zhou Ziwen introduced his identity.

"So you are Medical Officer Zhou. I didn't expect you to be so young."

After hearing Zhou Ziwen's introduction, Zhao Jie suddenly understood and a smile appeared on his face.

No matter where you are, the profession of doctor is very popular.

After all, people are born, grow old, get sick and die, and you never know when they will ask to visit you.

"Brother Zhao, I'm actually here to ask you for help."

Zhou Ziwen spoke straight to the point.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Zhao Jie did not hesitate.

If it's not too much trouble, he will definitely help. If he can't help, he won't agree to it rashly.

"Brother Zhao, take a look at this. I want to make a water pressure well. It's quite simple."

Zhou Ziwen handed over the schematic diagram that he had prepared long ago.

He took some time to draw this schematic before he came. He just drew a rough outline and marked some simple dimensions.

He had learned this in his previous life, so drawing was quite easy for him.

“You want to make this thing?”

Zhao Jie took it and looked at it. Hmm, it’s quite simple.

He is a formal worker in the factory and has been welding for more than ten years. Any apprentice can do what Zhou Ziwen wants to do.

"Yes, that's it. Just one is enough."

Zhou Ziwen nodded.

"We can do this, but the materials are a bit troublesome..."

Zhao Jie spoke up.

"Brother Zhao, you are a professional in this field, so you must be familiar with these things. It's okay for you to help me and spend a little more money."

Zhou Ziwen said hurriedly.

"That's easy. You can make this with some scraps. Do you want to wait for me to finish it, or come and get it tomorrow?"

When Zhao Jie heard that Zhou Ziwen was willing to give money, he stopped being so reserved.

It’s not that he is greedy for money, it’s mainly because the factory has its own rules.

Just like he said, for Zhou Ziwen, all you need is some scraps.

But the scraps are also from the factory. If outsiders want them, they have to have connections.

He has connections in this regard, but he certainly can't pay for it himself!

"Thank you, Brother Zhao. If it's quick, I'll wait outside."

Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen's face lit up with joy.

He also knew that what he was going to make was quite simple, and if he could take it back today, he wouldn't have to make another trip.

"It will be done quickly in about an hour. If you are not busy, you can go out for a walk. I will leave the things in the security room later and you can just go and get them."

Zhao Jie spoke up.

"Okay, Brother Zhao, how much does this cost? I'll give it to you now."

Even brothers settle accounts clearly, and Zhou Ziwen was not embarrassed when talking about money.

"Just give me five dollars. You know, the materials are from the factory. We can't get them without money."

Zhao Jie began to explain.

"I know. I'm sorry to bother you, Brother Zhao. I'll treat you to a drink when we return to the village."

As he spoke, Zhou Ziwen took out the money from his pocket, counted it and handed it over.

Zhao Jie didn't hesitate and took it.

Then, the two chatted for a few more words, and then Zhao Jie went back to help him make the water well pressure device.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhou Ziwen decided to take a walk around the county town.

Before leaving, he gave some cigarettes to the uncle guarding the gate and chatted with him for a few minutes before leaving.

Although Zhao Jie had already made it clear with them, the more courtesy the better, it was nothing more than just handing over two more cigarettes.

After leaving the machinery factory, Zhou Ziwen rode his bicycle to the county town.

There was nothing interesting to see in the county town at that time, so he bought two pancakes on the street. After eating, he went to Xinhua Bookstore and picked and chose books to read.

When reading, he mainly reads books on professional skills.

For example, grass carp farming, sow postpartum care, and he even found a book on raising earthworms.

Zhou Ziwen accepts everything. If he finds something that interests him, he will buy it and then take a closer look at it when he gets home.

For him, no amount of skills is too many.

No matter what skill it is, he wants to learn it. Even if he doesn't reach the level of mastery, he wants to at least understand it.

With the auto-switch panel at hand, he would feel sorry for himself if he didn't learn more.

As the saying goes, every profession has its own top talent. Anyway, he only needs to collect the relevant knowledge and leave the improvement to the idle panel.

This feeling of being able to improve just by lying down is so boring and unpretentious.

Time always passes quickly when reading seriously. Zhou Ziwen felt that only a moment had passed, but when he came to his senses, it was already twelve o'clock.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Ziwen took the books he had selected to the counter to pay, then left the bookstore with the books in his arms.

Although he could buy it for free in the bookstore, there was no need to do so.

After all, knowledge is priceless. It’s enough to spend such a long time in the bookstore for free. I can buy the rest and read them slowly. It doesn’t cost much anyway.

After leaving the bookstore, he went to a state-owned restaurant for a meal.

It was still a big bowl of shredded pork noodles with some sauerkraut in it. The noodles were big and round. Even with Zhou Ziwen's appetite, he felt eight-tenths full after finishing it.

After coming out of the state-owned hotel, Zhou Ziwen went straight to the machinery factory without delay.

"Young man, Master Zhao has already prepared what you wanted. Take a look. Is this it?"

When they arrived at the security room, the uncle inside was eating. When he saw Zhou Ziwen coming, he took out the things Zhao Jie had prepared.

"Yes, that's it."

Looking at the familiar water pressure well, Zhou Ziwen's face lit up with joy.
