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

Zhou Chaoyang looked at Zhou Ziwen's technique and said half-jokingly, "Brother Zhou, you can open a massage parlor with your skills."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and shook his head, "You don't need to open a store, but if you are interested, I can teach you. I promise you will learn it."

"Forget it, forget it, I can't learn it." Zhou Chaoyang shook his head repeatedly.

Time passed quickly while we talked and laughed.

As time went by, the train continued to move forward in the night.

Zhou Ziwen and his friends took turns to rest and tried their best to maintain their strength.

The train rattled on and on and finally arrived at Sijiucheng the next day.

Zhou Ziwen and his friends packed their luggage and prepared to get off the bus.

Although they were tired from the journey, they were still very excited to reach their destination.

Walking out of the train station, Zhou Ziwen took a deep breath of fresh air.

The sky in the old city was blue, the sun was shining, and people were bustling outside, creating a prosperous scene.

"Finally back." Zhou Ziwen sighed.

"Yeah, haha, we are finally back."

Zhou Chaoyang opened his arms and looked even more excited than Zhou Ziwen.

After all, he is just a young man in his teens. He has suffered so much in the countryside. Now he finally returns to his hometown. How can he contain his excitement?

"Haha, let's go home."

Zhou Ziwen waved his hand and left the train station with the two sisters.

"Brother Zhou, Sister Shiying, Sister Yiyi, I won't leave with you. I'll come to see you in a few days."

When they arrived at the bus stop, Zhou Chaoyang said goodbye to them.

"Okay, you know where my home is. If you have any questions, come to my house and find me."

Zhou Ziwen patted his shoulder.

"Well, the car is here. I'll leave first. Call me if you need anything!"

Seeing the bus coming, Zhou Chaoyang said hurriedly.

"Okay, I'll definitely look for you if I have anything to do. You're a local boss here."

Zhou Ziwen waved his hand, "Go! The car is leaving soon."

"Brother Zhou, Sister Shiying, Sister Yiyi, goodbye..."

Zhou Chaoyang waved to them and got into the car.

"Haha, our car is here too, let's get in."

After Zhou Chaoyang left, the car they were waiting for arrived after a while.

Zhou Ziwen greeted the two sisters, then got into the car with his luggage.

This time when he returned home, he did not inform his family in advance.

It’s not because of anything else, it’s mainly because I don’t want to trouble them.

Moreover, they left in a hurry and didn't have enough time.

After getting on the bus, which traveled through the city streets, Zhou Ziwen looked out the window at the familiar scenery, feeling a little bit of anticipation.

More than a year has passed, and I don’t know if my parents have aged or if my little sister has become prettier…

Not long after, the bus arrived at the stop near their home. Zhou Ziwen got off the bus with the two sisters and took them home.

Zhou Ziwen used to live in a siheyuan, also known as a slum.

This kind of shantytown was very common in that era, especially in old Beijing.

Honestly speaking, in Zhou Ziwen's opinion, living in such a slum is not as comfortable as living in the countryside.

In the slum, there are many people living and the rooms are small, unlike in the countryside, where one person can live in two rooms as long as he has the ability.

What made Zhou Ziwen most dissatisfied was that in the slum, if one spoke a little louder, the people next door could hear it.

To put it bluntly, sometimes when a couple is making love at night, the noise is a little loud and others can hear it.

Another point is the toilet.

The toilets in the slum are all public toilets, so I won’t talk about the environment inside.

That stuff sounds disgusting.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Ziwen's family conditions are pretty good.

Their house originally had two rooms plus a living room. The house and the living room were relatively large. Because there were many people in the family, his father divided the room and the living room into two, making it five rooms and a living room.

In this way, although the room is a little small, the house is big enough for the family to live in.

His parents lived in one room, his two brothers lived in one room, and his two sisters lived in one room. He and his youngest sister were the youngest and the most favored at home, so they each lived in a room.

Later, his two older brothers moved out, leaving the house vacant, and his two older sisters also had their own room.

In addition, there is a large open space outside the house.

Using some connections, Zhou's father got some bricks and adobes and built a kitchen outside.

In this way, their whole family has plenty of space to live together.

Their family conditions are considered pretty good among the slums.

Many people in the hospital envy them!

Of course, there are a lot of troubles in the yard, so don’t think that the neighborhood relations in the slum are good.

Generally speaking, the closer people live, the more likely conflicts are to occur.

On the contrary, those who have less contact in daily life have more harmonious relationships.

A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, but sometimes this saying should be interpreted in the opposite way.

The closer you are to each other, the more time you spend in contact. People are all different, and it is impossible for everyone to have the same values.

The more contact there is, the more chances there are for conflicts to occur.

Because of Zhou's father, the Zhou family has a good relationship with the people in the slum.

Of course, many of them are just polite on the surface, and no one knows what they are like in private.

Accompanying his two sisters, Zhou Ziwen stepped into this familiar courtyard.

In the yard, some neighbors were busy with their daily chores.

Some were hanging clothes to dry, some were tidying up the yard, and some were chatting about family matters.

When the neighbors saw Zhou Ziwen and others come in, they were stunned for a long time.

"Zhou family boy, didn't you go to the countryside? Why are you back?"

Aunt Zhang in the yard asked.

"Aunt Zhang, are you doing laundry? We are on holiday and there is nothing to do in the village, so we came back to take a look."

Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.

If this is not explained clearly, who knows how it will be spread!

"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're back. Hey, where did these two girls come from? Did you kidnap them back?"

Aunt Zhang smiled and nodded, then turned her gaze to look at the Chen sisters behind her.

"Aunt Zhang, these are my wife and sister-in-law. I'm taking them home to meet my parents."

Zhou Ziwen still had a smile on his face.

That's how things are in a slum. If a stranger comes and you don't explain your origins clearly, things will be difficult to deal with.

Maybe as soon as you come in, someone will go to the street office to report it.

"Oh, child, you are so lucky to find such a beautiful wife." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

"Ziwen, these two girls look the same to me, which one is your wife?"

Aunt Li, who was standing next to Aunt Zhang, stared at the two sisters for a long time, but couldn't tell any difference between them.

Perhaps the only difference is that Chen Qiaoyi's belly is a little bigger.

"Haha, this is my elder sister Chen Shiying, and this is my younger sister Chen Qiaoyi."

Zhou Ziwen opened his mouth to explain.

Hearing the noise here, everyone who was idle in the yard ran out to watch the excitement.

Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters were surrounded and had no way to go home.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Ma also heard the noise outside.

When he heard that his son had returned with his wife, he hurried out on the spot.
