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

"Ziwen, why are you here?"

When Zhou Ziwen arrived at the production team office of Zhaojia Village, Captain Zhao happened to be there.

Seeing Zhou Ziwen, Captain Zhao stood up quickly.

"Uncle Zhao, I came to see you."

Zhou Ziwen was not at all shy. He found a stool and sat down.

"Hey, what's so good about an old man like me?"

Captain Zhao waved his hand indifferently.

But from the upturned corners of his mouth, it can be seen that he is still very happy that Zhou Ziwen came to see him.

"Uncle Zhao, let me help you check it out!"

Looking at Captain Zhao's hanging arm, Zhou Ziwen spoke.

"Okay, you can see it!"

Captain Zhao nodded and looked as if he was ready to be inspected.

Next, Zhou Ziwen gave him a detailed examination.

In fact, Captain Zhao's recovery was very good. After all, he had the surgery at the county hospital and had Tan Youwei to help take care of him.

It has only been a short time since he was discharged from the hospital, and his wounds have almost healed.

Until now, I wouldn’t even use a sling unless it was just in case.

"Ziwen, when can you take off this piece of cloth? It's very uncomfortable for me to be hanging there."

Captain Zhao gestured with his injured arm.

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, wait a few more days!"

Zhou Ziwen opened his mouth to comfort.

"Hey, why do you say that? I'm obviously fine now."

Hearing this, Captain Zhao was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Just in case!"

Zhou Ziwen smiled and comforted.

"Ziwen, it's a good thing you're here. I haven't had the chance to thank you enough for this. So, don't leave later. Come to my house for dinner first."

He always remembered that Zhou Ziwen saved him.

However, the wound on his arm had not healed completely yet, so he thought that he would go and thank her properly after he recovered.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ziwen came over by himself.

"Uncle Zhao, no need. I have to go back to the village later. Today I just came to see how you are recovering."

Zhou Ziwen shook his head.

It was still early, and he wanted to go to the mushroom growing base.

Once he completes the clock-in task, he won’t have to go in the afternoon.

After staying with Captain Zhao for a while and telling him some precautions, Zhou Ziwen said goodbye and left.

After walking around like this, it's almost ten o'clock.

Once he arrives at the mushroom cultivation base, he won't have to stay there for long.

After hanging around here for more than an hour, it was time to get off work.

When he returned home, the two sisters had already returned.

But Wang Xiaoli and Zhang Xiaoli also came back with them.

"Hey, are there guests at home?"

Zhou Ziwen couldn't figure out their purpose, so he just said hello first.

It's dinner time now. If they didn't have something to do, they probably wouldn't come to the house at this time.

"Zhou Zhiqing."

"Comrade Ziwen."

Zhang Xiaoli and Wang Xiaoli greeted Zhou Ziwen somewhat embarrassedly.

"Hmm? What's wrong with you guys?"

Seeing how shy they were, Zhou Ziwen raised his eyebrows.

The expressions on their faces showed that they were speechless.

Generally speaking, if someone shows this expression, they are most likely asking for money.

"Well... Ziwen, we came to you because we really had no other choice..."

Wang Xiaoli had more contact with Zhou Ziwen, so she was the first to speak at this time.

"Well, don't be anxious, take your time."

Zhou Ziwen nodded.

No matter what the two men wanted from him, at least he wanted to know what it was.

If I can help and it's not too much trouble, there's no harm in helping.

But if I have caused him any embarrassment, I am sorry.

He treats men and women equally.

"We are running out of food. We are really out of options. Ziwen, can you lend us some food?"

Zhang Xiaoli looked at Zhou Ziwen somewhat awkwardly.

Obviously, this was the first time she asked someone to borrow food.

Asking for help is always difficult.

"That shouldn't be the case. I see you guys working in the production team every day. How come you're out of food so soon?"

Zhou Ziwen asked puzzledly.

"We have a pig, and it eats a lot. We didn't expect it to eat so much..."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoli and Zhang Xiaoli both looked bitter.

Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen nodded in understanding.

He remembered that there were two pigs in the Youth League Home.

One of them was the one raised by the three of them.

Zhang, W.L., Wang, X.L., and Zhang, X.L.

However, Zhang Wenli was the leader of the female educated youth team and her family was well off, so she was not short of food.

It’s hard for Zhang Xiaoli and Wang Xiaoli.

Especially Wang Xiaoli, who had just had an abortion not long ago and had been in poor health to begin with. She still had to work during the day and collect grass for pigs at night. She lost a lot of weight for this pig.

"So what are you going to do next?"

Zhou Ziwen asked.

Given their situation, just borrowing food probably won't work.

The autumn harvest is still several months away.

He couldn't possibly lend them food for several months, could he?

Not to mention that he doesn't have that much money, even if he did, he couldn't borrow it.

"We have already written back. My family will send money next month. No matter what, let's raise this pig first. We can hold on and sell it after the Chinese New Year."

Wang Xiaoli told them their plans.

"It's fine to borrow food, but we brothers should settle accounts clearly. Don't blame me for saying it in advance."

Zhou Ziwen nodded first, then spoke.

No matter whether it is borrowing money or food, as long as it is borrowing something, it is easy to borrow but difficult to pay it back.

Brothers should settle accounts clearly, make things clear first and avoid chaos later.

"Ziwen, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Zhang Xiaoli asked with anticipation.

At this point they were basically in a desperate situation.

The food at home is running out.

But the pig still needs to be raised.

They have been raising them for so long, they won’t give up.

"As the saying goes, if you borrow well and repay well, it won't be difficult to borrow again. No matter what you borrow, there must be a rule. How about this, you write an IOU so that no one can forget it later."

Zhou Ziwen said.

He thought it was better to make some things clear first.

"Of course, of course, we'll write the IOU right away."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaoli and Zhang Xiaoli agreed without thinking.

They borrowed food from Zhou Ziwen, but never thought of defaulting on the debt.

Of course, they didn't dare.

"There is one more thing I want to make clear. I hope you won't tell anyone about the food I borrowed from you. Anyway, I don't want anyone to know that you borrowed the food from me."

Seeing that they agreed, Zhou Ziwen made his last request.

He doesn't want other people to know about this.

If everyone comes to him to borrow food in the future, will he lend it to them or not?

"Ziwen, don't worry, we won't tell anyone about the grain loan."

"Yes, we are very grateful that you can lend us food, and we will never tell anyone."

Zhang Xiaoli and Wang Xiaoli hurried to assure.

"That's good."

Zhou Ziwen nodded.
