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

In the following days, Zhou Ziwen decided to make full use of this time of reunion with his family.

He took Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi with him and walked through the streets and alleys of New Beijing, feeling the unique charm of this city.

On the first day, they came to the Forbidden City. The ancient palace looked solemn and mysterious under the sunlight.

Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi were deeply attracted by the magnificent architecture and profound historical heritage here, and expressed admiration from time to time.

Zhou Ziwen was like a guide, telling them the stories behind every palace and every stone tablet.

Afterwards, they strolled to Tiananmen Square. The broad square and the fluttering five-star red flag made the two sisters feel the solemnity and greatness of the country.

Zhou Ziwen stood aside, looking at their excitement, and a sense of pride surged in his heart.

After the tour, Zhou Ziwen did not forget his family.

He visited his eldest and second brothers at their homes respectively.

He first went to his eldest brother's house, carrying local specialties and fresh meat brought from the countryside.

When the sister-in-law saw what he brought, she was surprised and deeply moved.

"Ziwen, kid, you just came, but you brought so many things with you." The sister-in-law scolded him but she couldn't stop smiling.

Zhou Ziwen smiled and replied: "Sister-in-law, this is what I sent back from the countryside. We are family, so there is no need to be polite."

After enjoying a warm lunch at his eldest brother’s house, Zhou Ziwen went to his second brother’s house with gifts.

The second sister-in-law was also delighted by his visit and expressed gratitude for Zhou Ziwen's gift.

"Ziwen, you are too polite." The second sister-in-law took the gift with a happy smile on her face.

Zhou Ziwen also spent a pleasant time at his second brother's house, sharing with him and his wife the latest news in the countryside and what he saw and heard in the old city.

After returning home, Zhou Ziwen shared his day's experience with his mother and father. As they listened to their son's narration, they showed gratified smiles on their faces.

Mother Zhou couldn't help but praise him: "Ziwen, you have really grown up and know how to care about your family."

Zhou Ziwen scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Mom, I have always been like this."

At night, Zhou Ziwen lay in bed, thinking about the day's experiences, his heart filled with gratitude.

He is grateful for having such a warm home and for his family's understanding and support.

At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that no matter what the future holds, he will do his best to give his family a better life.

The next morning, Zhou Ziwen woke up early.

The first thing Zhou Ziwen did when he woke up was to open the auto-switch panel and take a look.

In the panel, the Feng Shui skill finally reached level three.

As his Feng Shui skills were upgraded to level three, Zhou Ziwen felt that his perception of his surroundings seemed to have been magnified several times.

He began to notice details that he had not noticed before: how the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, creating mottled shadows on the ground; how the breeze carried air from different directions, weaving into an invisible web in space.

The upgraded Feng Shui not only enhanced his perception of natural elements, but also gave him a sensitive insight into the flow of environmental energy.

Zhou Ziwen can more clearly feel the "qi" of the house, building and even the entire area. This qi is an invisible energy that flows and gathers in different ways in different places.

He began to understand why certain locations made people feel relaxed and at ease, while other corners seemed depressing and uncomfortable.

Zhou Ziwen learned to evaluate the feng shui of a place by observing the height of the terrain, the direction of the water flow, and the distribution of vegetation.

He can even guide the flow of qi by adjusting the placement of furniture and the planting positions of plants, creating a more harmonious and comfortable living environment at home.

In addition, Zhou Ziwen also found that he could perceive some subtle inconsistencies, which could be potential factors leading to family discord and poor health.

Using his newfound knowledge of feng shui, he began making a series of meticulous adjustments throughout his home, like rehanging mirrors to avoid reflecting undesirable light, moving beds to avoid overhead beams, and placing water features in just the right places to attract wealth.

Seeing Zhou Ziwen busy at home early in the morning, Zhou Xiaomei was a little puzzled, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Zhou Ziwen heard his sister's question, turned around, and explained with a smile: "I am adjusting the layout of the house to make it more in line with the principles of Feng Shui. This way, our family can be more harmonious and bring good luck to everyone."

Although Feng Shui was considered feudal superstition in that era, Zhou Ziwen did not hide it from his family.

"Brother, you also know Feng Shui? How come I don't know it?" Zhou Xiaomei asked puzzledly.

"Oh, I learned it in the countryside." Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.

"But isn't Feng Shui a feudal superstition? It would be bad if people knew you knew this."

Zhou Xiaomei said worriedly.

"Haha, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who would know? I don't have the words 'I know Feng Shui' stuck on my forehead."

Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

Zhou Xiaomei couldn't help laughing at Zhou Ziwen's words. "Brother, you are right. But do you really understand these? Feng Shui sounds so mysterious."

"In fact, a lot of Feng Shui is the ancients' observation and understanding of the environment. When we look at it from a modern perspective, we will find that it is connected with environmental aesthetics, psychology and other aspects."

Zhou Ziwen explained patiently, trying to use simple and understandable language so that his sister could understand.

Zhou Xiaomei seemed to understand what her brother said, but seeing that he spoke clearly, she stopped asking questions.

She found that since her brother went to the countryside, he seemed like a completely different person, and she almost didn't recognize him.

But compared to before, she likes her brother more now.

Because my brother is more mature now than before.

Zhou Xiaomei looked at Zhou Ziwen's busy figure, her heart full of curiosity.

She decided to stay and see how her brother would decorate the house.

Zhou Ziwen continued to concentrate on adjusting the layout of his home. He carefully placed each item to ensure that they could play the best role in terms of Feng Shui.

He placed a pot of green plant in the corner of the living room to add life and vitality.

In the bedroom, he adjusted the position of the windows to ensure that plenty of sunlight and fresh air could enter the room.

Zhou Xiaomei watched from the side and asked some questions from time to time.

Zhou Ziwen patiently answered her questions, allowing her to gain a deeper understanding of Feng Shui.

After some effort, the layout of the house was finally adjusted.

Zhou Ziwen stood in the middle of the living room, feeling the changes in the surrounding environment.

He could feel that his home was now filled with a harmonious atmosphere, making people feel comfortable and at ease.

Zhou Xiaomei also felt this change. She said excitedly, "Brother, I feel that home has changed. It seems to be warmer."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "Yes, this is the charm of Feng Shui. It can make our living environment better, thus affecting our mood and fortune."

Zhou Xiaomei nodded and said, "Brother, you are really awesome."
