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

There were so many eels in the field that for Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang, it was just like picking them up.

In just a short while, the two of them caught half a bucket.

"Brother Zhou, look, I caught another one." Zhou Chaoyang happily held up the eel that was still struggling in the clamp.

When Zhou Ziwen heard Zhou Chaoyang's shout, he turned around, saw the eel in Zhou Chaoyang's hand, and smiled.

"Good, Chaoyang, your movements are becoming more and more skillful." He praised.

"Hehe, thanks to Brother Zhou's guidance, I was able to get started so quickly."

Zhou Chaoyang scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, but the joy in his eyes could not be concealed.

The two men continued to work busy in the fields. Under the moonlight, their figures shuttled back and forth between the fields. From time to time, the sound of eels twisting when they were caught and the sound of the two men chatting and laughing could be heard.

As time went by, there were more and more eels in the bucket, and soon it filled half the bucket.

"Brother Zhou, there are so many eels here. We have a great harvest today!" Zhou Chaoyang said excitedly as he looked at the bucket full of eels.

Zhou Ziwen nodded and said, "Yes, tonight's harvest is indeed good. But we should not be too greedy, these are enough for us to eat for several meals. Besides, the eels also need to reproduce, so we still have to leave some in the field."

"Brother Zhou is right, we want sustainable development!" Zhou Chaoyang nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's go back. It's getting late and our family must be waiting anxiously." Zhou Ziwen looked at the sky. The moon had already risen very high.

The two men packed up their tools, carried the buckets full of eels, and walked back along the ridge of the field.

Along the way, they were also discussing how to deal with the eels, whether to steam, braise or stew them.

When they got home, Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi were still awake. They were surprised to see the eels they had caught.

"With so many eels, we can have several meals."

Chen Shiying happily took the bucket from Zhou Ziwen.

Chen Qiaoyi also came over to look at the eels in the bucket, her eyes sparkling, and said, "We can eat eels tomorrow. I haven't eaten them for a long time. I'm drooling just thinking about it."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "It's too late today. Let's keep the eels in the water tank first and deal with them tomorrow."

"Yeah." Chen Shiying nodded, picked up the bucket and went to the stone vat beside the yard.

"Sister Shiying, put in the eels I caught!"

Zhou Chaoyang followed with the eel in his hand.

"Aren't you going to keep it for yourself?" Chen Shiying asked.

"Hey, it's too troublesome to deal with the eel. Besides, I don't know how to do it." Zhou Chaoyang waved his hand.

He went with Zhou Ziwen just because he thought it was fun.

Chen Shiying smiled and said, "Okay, put them all in! You can eat here tomorrow as well."

"I've been waiting for Sister Shiying to say this." Zhou Chaoyang chuckled.

Chen Shiying and Zhou Chaoyang put the eels into a stone tank. Eels have strong vitality and can survive for a period of time even without being fed.

Of course, these eels can't wait until that time.

"Okay, everything is put away. Everyone should go to bed early because we have to go to work tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen said.

Everyone nodded and went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, Zhou Ziwen got up early as usual, went to the yard to stretch his body, and performed a set of Shaolin boxing.

After boxing, he felt refreshed and went to check the eels in the stone jar.

The eels swam lazily in the stone tank and looked in good condition.

Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi also got up one after another and started preparing breakfast.

After Yueyue had eaten her fill, Zhou Ziwen took her to play in the yard.

After a while, the meal was ready, Zhou Ziwen carried Yueyue into the house, put her in the baby dining carriage, and the family sat around the dining table to eat breakfast. The breakfast consisted of porridge, steamed buns and some side dishes, which was simple but warm.

After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen handed Xiao Yueyue to Chen Qiaoyi, and then went to work with Chen Shiying.

Today is the day when the newly arrived educated youth start work.

When Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying passed by the Youth League Home, they met some educated youth who were going to gather at the production team.

By now, there are already quite a few educated youth homes. Zhou Ziwen roughly counted them and found that there are about one hundred and forty of them.

Just imagine how lively it would be with so many people living in one yard.

Through yesterday's introduction, the new educated youth also had a preliminary understanding of Zhou Ziwen.

Whether it was Wu Dagang, the village secretary, or Zhou Qiang, the male team leader of the Youth League Institute, they all highly praised Zhou Ziwen and mentioned Zhou Ziwen's contributions many times when introducing the village situation and work arrangements.

This made the newly arrived educated youth even more curious and respectful of Zhou Ziwen.

Walking on the way to the production team, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying could feel the gazes of the educated youth around them from time to time, which were filled with curiosity and respect.

Zhou Ziwen was already accustomed to these looks. He smiled and chatted with Chen Shiying, as if he was not affected at all.

"Ziwen, it seems that many people are curious about you!" Chen Shiying joked with a smile.

She saw many female educated youth secretly looking at him.

Although I can't say I was jealous, I still couldn't help but feel a subtle emotion.

I was happy about the recognition he received, but at the same time, there was a hint of possessiveness from a little girl.

"Haha, maybe they think it's incredible that an outsider like me can still gain a foothold here."

Zhou Ziwen smiled easily. He looked back at Chen Shiying beside him and comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry about what others think. Let's just live our own lives."

"Yeah." Chen Shiying nodded slightly, and the subtle emotion in her heart also dissipated.

The two of them came to the production team's gathering place, chatting and laughing. At this time, many villagers and educated youth were already waiting there.

Seeing Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying arriving, everyone greeted them.

"Ziwen is here!"

“Shiying, good morning!”

Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying also responded to everyone with a smile, and then waited for the morning meeting to begin.

After a while, seeing that most people had arrived, the team leader and Wu Dagang also came out with an iron loudspeaker.

"Ahem...Everyone, be quiet. Come and gather together. I want to say a few words."

The captain stood in front of the crowd, tested the sound with an iron loudspeaker, and began to shout.

When the members heard the sound, they all quieted down.

"First of all, I welcome the new educated youth to join our team. I hope we can learn from each other and make progress together."

The captain briefly expressed his welcome.

As soon as he finished speaking, the educated youth burst into warm applause, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

For these newly arrived educated youth, this is a brand new beginning. They will start their working life here and realize their ideals and values.

The captain paused and continued, "Next, we will carry out personnel allocation and work arrangements..."

As the team leader spoke, the educated youth all pricked up their ears, fearing that they would miss important information.

They were nervous and excited, not knowing what kind of work and challenges they would face.

Some of the educated youth had determined eyes, and seemed ready to endure hardships; others looked nervous, feeling a little uneasy about the unknown future.

Zhou Ziwen, on the other hand, looked calm, after all, this matter had nothing to do with him.
