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

After chatting with Uncle Li for a while and exchanging some feelings, Zhou Ziwen returned home.

When he returned home, Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi had already gotten up, Zhou's mother was busy cooking in the kitchen, and his sisters were washing their faces and rinsing their mouths.

They still have to go to work today, so they are quite busy in the morning.

The neighbors in the compound also began their day one after another, and the yard gradually became lively.

The sounds of children playing and adults chatting are intertwined, full of the breath of life.

Hearing these voices, Zhou Ziwen seemed to be back to the time before he went to the countryside, and the last bit of strangeness he felt about this home was gone.

After all, he had been in the countryside for so long and just came back yesterday, so he was still a little uncomfortable with the environment.

After breakfast, my elder sister, my younger sister and Dad Zhou all went to work.

Only Zhou's mother remained at home.

"Ziwen, if you have nothing to do, take Shiying and Yiyi out to play! This is the first time for Shiying and Yiyi to come to our place, so take them out to have some fun."

After breakfast, Zhou's mother spoke.

Zhou Ziwen nodded, then looked at Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi and said, "Shiying, Qiaoyi, let's go out for a walk. I'll take you around the city."

Chen Shiying smiled and nodded: "Okay, I want to go out for a walk too."

Chen Qiaoyi clapped her hands excitedly: "Great, I've wanted to go out and take a look for a long time."

So the three of them went out together.

After Zhou Ziwen went out, he happened to meet his neighbor Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang was sitting at the door of her house. When she saw Zhou Ziwen, she immediately greeted him warmly: "Ziwen, you're back! You've been in the countryside for so long, and your parents must have been worried about you. How is life in the countryside? Is it hard?"

Zhou Ziwen smiled and replied, "Auntie Wang, life in the countryside is not bad, it's not that hard."

Aunt Wang said with concern: "That's good. I was afraid that you would suffer in the countryside. By the way, what did you do in the countryside?"

"We grow mushrooms and do farm work in the countryside, it's quite interesting..." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

Aunt Wang watched him grow up, and Zhou Ziwen also treated him as an elder.

Although he wanted to go out for a walk with the two sisters earlier, he still patiently chatted with Aunt Wang for a while.

At first they just exchanged simple greetings, but as the topic unfolded, other idle neighbors in the yard were attracted to join in the fun.

"Ziwen, tell us quickly, is life in the countryside very hard? I heard that the countryside is not very good to you educated youth. Have you suffered any grievances?" a neighbor asked with concern.

"No, no, the members of our production team are all very nice. The situation you are talking about may happen in other production teams, but the people in our production team are still very friendly to the educated youth." Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.

Speaking of which, the atmosphere in Dabazi Village is indeed good. At least there is no bullying of educated youth from outside the village.

Although the villagers were somewhat disdainful of the educated youth's lack of ability in farm work, at most they just complained and said a few words.

Of course, these only apply to ordinary young people; Zhou Ziwen is an exception.

He made a lot of contributions to Dabazi Village and was also very famous in the production team.

With his current prestige, if you really compare it to that, he is not much different from Wu Dagang.

He brought tangible benefits to Dabazi Village, and everyone treated him as warmly as a family member.

Of course, there is no need to tell these to the neighbors.

He is a low-key person and doesn't like to show off.

The people in the compound were very interested in his life in the country.

Zhou Ziwen also chatted with them for a while.

As they chatted, more and more people gathered in the yard.

There were not many educated youth who went to the countryside in the yard, but there were a few. He was the first one to come back, so of course everyone was very interested.

Of course, in addition to being interested in Zhou Ziwen's life in the countryside, they were also very curious about the Chen sisters next to Zhou Ziwen.

After all, twins attract attention, especially the Chen sisters who are beautiful and look exactly the same.

Because of Zhou Ziwen, the neighbors were also very welcoming to the two sisters and started chatting with them.

Especially the experienced aunties, when they saw that Chen Qiaoyi was pregnant, they became more enthusiastic towards her.

In the eyes of these aunts and grandmas, Zhou Ziwen is the younger generation who grew up in their eyes, and Zhou Ziwen’s wife is naturally one of their own.

After chatting with them for a while, Zhou Ziwen also learned about some people and things in the hospital during the year he was away.

For example, during the time he was away, someone in the hospital got married, someone had a baby, etc.

There is also a man in someone's family who has fallen seriously ill and is now lying in bed, unable to get out of bed, etc.

Chatting with these neighbors, Zhou Ziwen found a familiar feeling.

This place is where he has lived since he was a child.

He is very familiar with the people and things inside.

At this time, Uncle Li's aunt also came over and said, "Ziwen, how long will you stay this time?"

Zhou Ziwen replied: "Aunt, we are here to visit relatives and will leave after staying for a while."

Aunt Li said, "Then you have to spend more time with your parents. They miss you so much."

Zhou Ziwen nodded: "I will, Aunt Li."

Everyone was chatting animatedly, and the children also came over to join in the fun.

"Brother Ziwen, can you bring us some fun things from the countryside next time?"

A little boy looked at Zhou Ziwen expectantly.

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "There's nothing fun, but there are a lot of delicious food. But they're still on the way. I'll go to the post office later to ask if they've seen it."

Before going to the countryside, he sent back some local specialties, but they haven't arrived yet, probably in the next two days.

Hearing this, the children cheered with joy.

Before he knew it, Zhou Ziwen had been chatting with these neighbors for quite a while.

It was almost time before he said goodbye to his neighbors and took them out shopping.

Walking on the streets of the old city, Zhou Ziwen found that there were actually not many changes here.

After all, he had only been away for over a year, which wasn't a very long time.

"Brother Ziwen, this Sijiu City looks more prosperous than our hometown."

After walking around for a while, Chen Qiaoyi spoke.

"Haha, actually it's just like that after watching it for a long time."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and shook his head.

He came from later generations and witnessed the prosperity of the city.

The current Sijiu City is just like that to him.

They passed by a snack bar, Chen Qiaoyi smelled the fragrance and pulled Zhou Ziwen's arm: "Brother Ziwen, I want to eat that."

Zhou Ziwen followed her gaze and saw a shop selling candied haws.

"Okay, let's go buy some." Zhou Ziwen took them into the store and bought a few strings of candied haws.

Chen Qiaoyi ate the candied haws happily with a happy smile on her face.

As they walked, they came to a park. There were many people in the park, some old people were walking, and some children were playing.

Zhou Ziwen looked at this scene with a lot of emotion in his heart: "Life in the city is still rich and colorful."

In the countryside, even if the elderly do not go to work, they will still be busy taking care of their own land.

There are many trivial matters in home life.

In the countryside, those elderly people who don't work are not idle either.

They would carefully tidy up the yard at home, put the farm tools in order, and feed the chickens, ducks and geese at home, prepare feed for them, and clean the poultry house.

When the weather is good, the elderly will take out the accumulated clothes to wash and dry them.

The bedding at home should also be washed and mended regularly to keep it clean and tidy.

Many elderly people would take advantage of their free time to sit at their doorstep and weave bamboo baskets and fishing nets. These handicrafts could not only supplement the family income but also help pass the time.

Some elderly people are still busy in their own small vegetable gardens, weeding, loosening the soil, and applying fertilizer, hoping for a good harvest to make the family's table more abundant.

On rainy days, the elderly would sit in the house, mending worn-out clothes or sewing soles for their children and grandchildren to make new shoes.

If there are children at home who need care, the elderly will be very busy all the time, as they have to coax the children, cook, and run around.

Chen Shiying smiled and nodded, "Yes, the city and the countryside are different, otherwise why do so many people want to be city dwellers?"

"But the countryside also has its advantages. The air is fresh and the people are simple and honest."

Zhou Ziwen nodded: "Yes, each has its own advantages."

After strolling in the park for a while, they went to the bookstore.

Zhou Ziwen wanted to buy some books that were not available in the countryside to enrich his knowledge base and prepare for future work.

Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi also helped him choose, and the three of them stayed in the bookstore for a long time.
