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

After being busy for half a day, it’s almost noon.

"Chaoyang, don't leave later. Stay home for dinner." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

"How embarrassing!" Zhou Chaoyang scratched his head embarrassedly.

If it were in the countryside, he would not be polite, but this was at Zhou Ziwen's house.

He doesn't feel so comfortable when his elders are at home.

"Why are you being so polite to me? It's settled." Zhou Ziwen patted his shoulder.

Zhou Ma also tried to persuade him to stay, "Chaoyang, Ziwen is right, don't be so polite, just treat it like your own home."

Looking at Zhou Ma's enthusiastic smile, Zhou Chaoyang hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you, Auntie. I won't be polite then."

"That's right! You're welcome." Zhou Ma said with a smile.

Mother Zhou and her two sisters went to the kitchen to cook, while Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang sat in the living room chatting.

"Brother Zhou, you're home now. Are you going to visit Sister Yiyi and her family in the near future?"

Zhou Chaoyang asked.

"Well, I plan to go there in a few days. I'll go visit my relatives first and let the two sisters meet their family."

Zhou Ziwen nodded.

"I remember Sister Yiyi's family is in Hangzhou, right?"

"Well, it's in Hangzhou, which is quite far from us."

"Brother Zhou, when are you leaving? I can get you a sleeper ticket." Zhou Chaoyang said positively.

Sijiu City is his home ground, and with his connections, it is easy for him to get a sleeper ticket.

"Sure, it would be great if we could get a sleeper ticket, Chaoyang. I'll trouble you with this."

Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen remembered that Zhou Chaoyang was a child of a wealthy family.

Zhou Chaoyang said generously: "It's no trouble. I'm glad to be able to help you."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.

"No problem." Zhou Chaoyang waved his hand happily.

He looked as if it was such an honor to be able to help Zhou Ziwen.

Soon, lunch was ready.

At the dinner table, Zhou's mother warmly entertained Zhou Chaoyang and kept serving him food: "Chaoyang, eat more and try Auntie's cooking."

"Thank you, Auntie." Zhou Chaoyang hurriedly thanked her.

Speaking of which, Zhou Ma’s cooking skills are quite good, and the dishes she makes are very authentic and full of hometown flavor.

With Zhou Ma's warm hospitality, Zhou Chaoyang soon ate his fill.

After lunch, they rested for a while. When they were done resting, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang took the two sisters out.

Starting from home, they soon arrived at the post office.

When they arrived at the post office, they asked the staff and learned that the package had arrived and was being sorted.

Zhou Ziwen and others waited patiently, and soon they got their packages.

"Chaoyang, take this ginseng and bring it home to Uncle Zhou to nourish his body."

Zhou Ziwen took out a wild ginseng about eight years old from the package.

Ginseng of this year is not very precious, but it is not cheap either.

It's perfect for gift giving.

If it was too precious, Zhou Chaoyang probably wouldn't want it.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou. I won't be polite with you on this one."

Seeing the ginseng handed over by Zhou Ziwen, Zhou Chaoyang reached out to take it.

Because he often stays with Zhou Ziwen, he has a certain understanding of the price of ginseng.

I also know that the ginseng Zhou Ziwen gave me is not very expensive.

But for them, this ginseng is just right.

If it was more valuable, he wouldn't dare accept it.

"Haha, you're so polite."

Zhou Ziwen laughed and punched him.

This time when he went home to visit his relatives, Zhou Ziwen sent back a lot of good things. A wild ginseng was just an ordinary thing in his package.

He still had a lot of medicinal herbs of this age in his package.

In addition to medicinal herbs, there are also a lot of meat, including pickled meat, smoked meat, and bacon.

These meats were carefully selected by him, after all, it is not easy to send them all.

Even though we are in the old city, it is not easy to eat meat in the city. If you really count it, it is worse than living in the countryside.

In the countryside, Zhou Ziwen never lacked meat to eat.

After receiving the package, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang parted ways.

He had a lot of stuff, and it was inconvenient to carry them with him when shopping, so he simply went home with the two sisters.

On the way home, Zhou Ziwen was in a good mood.

The local specialties and meat in his package are enough to feed his family for a while.

I brought back quite a few local specialties this time, including some dried fruits, and I can share some with my neighbors when I return.

He had promised some children in the courtyard that he would bring them delicious food.

After returning home, Zhou Ziwen immediately began to pack his packages.

He picked out some nourishing medicinal herbs first, which would be good things to use as gifts or for personal consumption.

He planned to share some of the remaining meat and local specialties with his neighbors.

It's a rare opportunity to come back, so I need to maintain my neighborhood relations.

"Ziwen, what are you doing?" Mother Zhou asked curiously when she saw her son busying around.

"Mom, these are local specialties I brought back from the countryside. I want to share some with my neighbors." Zhou Ziwen answered while sorting them out.

"You are a very sensible child." Mother Zhou showed a relieved smile on her face.

Zhou Ziwen divided the bacon, pickled meat and smoked meat into several portions. Although the types were similar, the quantities were slightly different.

He would give more gifts to those with whom he had a good relationship, and less to those with whom he had an average relationship.

People like Uncle Li need to be given more gifts and specially pick out some good things.

If Uncle Li hadn't taught him Bajiquan, he wouldn't have been so relaxed when he first went to the countryside.

"Mom, can you help me divide it up and see how to give it to them?"

After roughly dividing the money, Zhou Ziwen asked Zhou Ma for help.

When it comes to neighborhood relationships, Zhou Ma is the one who knows best.

Upon hearing this, Mother Zhou walked over, took a look at the divided items, and had an idea in her mind.

Under Zhou Ma's arrangement, Zhou Ziwen sorted the prepared local specialties and meat into different categories, and Zhou Ma explained in detail how much each family should give.

By the time it was time to get off work, almost everyone in the compound had returned. Zhou Ziwen and his two sisters, carrying packaged local specialties and meat, visited their neighbors door to door.

First, they came to Uncle Li's house. Uncle Li opened the door and saw Zhou Ziwen and the others, and immediately showed a kind smile on his face: "Ziwen, you are here, come in and sit down."

"Uncle Li, these are some local specialties I brought back from the countryside, including some bacon. I'll give them to you to try." Zhou Ziwen handed over the package in his hand.

Uncle Li took the package and saw the bacon and herbs inside. He was touched and said, "Ziwen, you are such a thoughtful kid."

"You have taught me so much, and this is what I should do." Zhou Ziwen replied respectfully.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Li, they went to Aunt Zhang's house.

Aunt Zhang is a kind-hearted person and often helps Zhou Ziwen's family.

"Aunt Zhang, these are some specialties I brought back from the countryside. Please try them." Zhou Ziwen handed over the gift.

Aunt Zhang took the gift and smiled from ear to ear: "Ziwen, you are such a sensible child. You still think of us when you come back."

"You take such good care of our family, this is a little gift from me." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

Then, they went to several other neighbors. After receiving Zhou Ziwen's gifts, each family couldn't help but praise his understanding and filial piety.

"This child from the Zhou family is really good. Not only is he good-looking, but he also has a good heart." The neighbors talked about it.

"Yes, look, he didn't forget to bring us things when he came back from the countryside. He is really thoughtful." Someone echoed.

"Mother Zhou has done a good job in educating his child. Ziwen will definitely have a bright future." Others also praised Mother Zhou.

Zhou Ziwen and his two sisters moved around the compound, and neighbors' praises came one after another.

Their praise made Zhou Ziwen feel very satisfied.
