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

The middle-aged man was shocked when he saw Zhou Ziwen crushing the stone easily, and his expression became serious.

He had originally looked down on Zhou Ziwen's youthful appearance, but now he completely put aside his contempt.

"Young man, you have really great kung fu. I am really enlightened." The middle-aged man said sincerely, with a bit of admiration in his tone.

Zhou Ziwen smiled slightly and didn't say much. He knew that sometimes actions speak louder than words.

The group continued to move forward, and Zhou Chaoyang looked at Zhou Ziwen from time to time, his eyes full of admiration.

He had long known that Zhou Ziwen was an extraordinary person, but he was still shocked when he saw him display his strength with his own eyes.

Soon, they arrived at the middle-aged man's residence.

This is a relatively spacious courtyard in the county town. From the outside, the courtyard wall is high and the gate is closed, which seems a bit solemn.

"I'm afraid this person's identity is not simple!"

Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang looked at each other and had the same idea in their minds.

Zhou Chaoyang, in particular, is more familiar with this environment.

After all, his father is an official, and his official position is not low.

The middle-aged man opened the door and led Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang into the yard.

The yard is clean and tidy, and it can be seen that the owner leads a very elegant life.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go get the money." The middle-aged man gestured for the two to sit down in the living room, and he hurried into the inner room.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang looked at the layout of the living room. There were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, the tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and there was a set of exquisite tea sets on the table, which looked antique.

After a while, the middle-aged man came out with a stack of banknotes and handed it to Zhou Ziwen: "Little brother, count it, this is one thousand yuan."

Zhou Ziwen took the money, counted it casually, and nodded: "That's right."

"That's good." The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "Little brother, I don't know your name yet?"

"Forget the name. I haven't seen you today, and you haven't seen us."

"If we have the opportunity to meet in a formal setting in the future, it won't be too late for us to get to know each other."

Zhou Ziwen waved his hands, showing no intention of getting to know him.

After all, his behavior is speculation.

He doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned when he heard Zhou Ziwen's answer, but he soon understood his concerns.

In this era, there are indeed certain risks in privately trading precious items, especially when you are not familiar with the other party's identity.

"I understand. It's a good thing that you are cautious, little brother."

The middle-aged man nodded, showing his understanding. "Then let's just pretend we've never met before."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and responded: "This is best, it will save everyone a lot of worry."

The middle-aged man, Li Siguang, nodded slightly, expressing his appreciation for Zhou Ziwen's cautious attitude.

"Little brother, although we only met once today, I believe that true fate does not depend on how long we have known each other."

There was a hint of deep meaning in Li Siguang's tone, as if suggesting that there might be further intersections in the future.

Zhou Ziwen understood the hidden meaning of his words, but did not show much emotion.

He simply responded calmly: "Big brother is right. No one can predict fate. Let's just treat today's incident as a small episode. We'll see each other again if we are lucky enough."

Li Siguang nodded, then picked up a business card from the table and handed it to Zhou Ziwen: "This is my business card, and it has my contact information. Although you and I don't know each other today, if you need help in the future, feel free to contact me."

Zhou Ziwen wanted to hide his identity and origins, but Li Siguang was not prepared to conceal it.

With his identity, it would be no trouble for him to go to the black market.

Zhou Ziwen took the business card, took a look at it, and then he knew his name.

He put the business card in his pocket: "Thank you, Brother Li, I will remember it."

In fact, Zhou Ziwen also knew that Li Siguang was trying too hard to win him over.

After all, Li Siguang had just witnessed with his own eyes how strong he was.

Zhou Ziwen didn't mind making friends with him.

One more friend means one more way. If you need anything in the future, you can ask him for help.

Although Zhou Ziwen didn't think he needed any help from others.

The conversation between the two ended here, and Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang stood up to say goodbye.

Li Siguang did not try to persuade them to stay. He just sent the two men to the door and watched them leave.

Walking out of the yard, Zhou Chaoyang couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zhou, what do you think of this person?"

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "This person is not simple. Judging from his behavior and the layout of his home, he should be of some importance. However, since he has given us enough respect, we don't need to worry too much."

"Yes, Brother Zhou is right." Zhou Chaoyang nodded.

The two rode their bicycles, heading home in the cool night breeze.

Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang were both a little excited.

Especially Zhou Chaoyang, who saw with his own eyes that Zhou Ziwen sold a leopard skin for one thousand yuan. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

After being in the countryside for so long, the money his father, relatives and friends all gave him combined is only this much.

And what about Zhou Ziwen? He made his money back with just one piece of leather.

On the way home, the two sisters were prepared to wait for him, but they fell asleep while waiting.

Looking at their appearance, Zhou Ziwen covered them with quilts, washed up briefly, and then lay down on the kang himself.

Lying on the kang, Zhou Ziwen calculated his family assets.

When he first went to the countryside, he had more than 800 yuan.

Later, I spent almost two hundred dollars on building the house and buying furniture.

Later, his family sent him another hundred, leaving him with seven hundred.

It also cost a lot of money to buy big items such as bicycles, watches, radios, and sewing machines.

Of course, during the Chinese New Year last year, he helped others organize banquets and made some money.

Adding his usual expenses, he didn't have much money left.

Fortunately, I made a little money during this period by selling old turtles, musk deer meat, medicinal herbs, leopard meat, and finally leopard skins.

After all the calculations, his wealth increased instead of decreased. He roughly calculated that he had more than 1,400 yuan left.

"More than 1,400. It will last a long time."

Zhou Ziwen pondered secretly.

I have sold most of the big items in my house, so I don't have much to spend.

It's just some daily expenses.

But his family's expenses were very low, they had enough food and vegetables, and they were not short of meat.

At most, there are some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and some daily necessities.

As he was thinking, Zhou Ziwen fell asleep while hugging the two sisters.

The next morning, Zhou Ziwen got up early as usual.

The first thing Zhou Ziwen did after getting up was to open the auto-play panel and take a look, observing the changes in the proficiency of various skills.

Every time he saw his proficiency improve, he felt happy.
