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

After saving the man, Zhou Ziwen finally had time to speak.

"Uncle, are you okay?" Zhou Ziwen glanced at the middle-aged man. Although he looked a little embarrassed, they were only superficial injuries and not very serious.

"I'm fine. Thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I would have been in great danger."

The middle-aged man looked at Zhou Ziwen with gratitude.

"Uncle, you're welcome. I just happened to pass by and saw these gangsters robbing, so I helped them." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man thanked Zhou Ziwen again, and then asked, "Comrade, what should I call you?"

"My name is Zhou Ziwen, uncle, just call me Ziwen." Zhou Ziwen said.

"My name is Liu Defa, and I'm an engineer at the county machinery factory." Liu Defa introduced himself.

When Zhou Ziwen heard this, an expression of surprise appeared on his face. He didn't expect that this uncle was actually an engineer in the machinery factory.

Liu Defa saw Zhou Ziwen's expression and asked with a smile: "Ziwen, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"It's okay. I didn't expect that the uncle is an engineer in the machinery factory. That's amazing." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

In this day and age, mechanical engineers are considered amazing talents, but he didn't expect to meet one today.

Hearing this, Liu Defa waved his hand and said, "What's so great about him? He's just an ordinary worker."

Zhou Ziwen smiled when he heard this and said nothing more.

He knew that workers of this era all had a humble quality, and even the most talented people would not show off too much.

"Uncle, what are you going to do with these people?" Zhou Ziwen asked.

Upon hearing this, Liu Defa glanced at the gangsters lying on the ground, and a trace of hatred appeared on his face.

"We must not let these people go easily." Liu Defa said.

Zhou Ziwen nodded after hearing this, and then said, "So what are you going to do with them, uncle?"

"Of course, we will hand it over to the public security comrades and let the law punish them." Liu Defa said bitterly.

Zhou Ziwen nodded, then stepped forward and pulled off the masks of several gangsters.

After the veils were removed, it was discovered that the robbers were very young, probably only eighteen or nineteen years old, with childish looks on their faces.

"Are you educated youth?" Zhou Ziwen asked with a frown.

When they heard this, they all showed expressions of horror on their faces, but did not speak.

Seeing the expressions of those people, Zhou Ziwen understood clearly that these people were indeed educated youth.

"Which brigade of educated youth are you from?" Zhou Ziwen kicked the person in front of him and then asked.

After hearing this, several people looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. We will hand you over to the public security comrades later, and someone will naturally interrogate you." Zhou Ziwen said when he saw this.

When several people heard this, expressions of horror appeared on their faces, and one of them even burst into tears.

"I said, we are the educated youth from Shatin Village." The educated youth in front of Zhou Ziwen answered tremblingly.

"From Shatin Village? Why haven't I seen you before?" Zhou Ziwen frowned.

He had been to Shatin Village several times. Although he was not very familiar with the educated youth there, he had met them.

As far as he could remember, he had never seen these people before.

"I, we just went to the countryside not long ago." The educated youth who was kicked by Zhou Ziwen spoke up.

Zhou Ziwen nodded when he heard this. No wonder he had never seen these people before. So that's why.

"You went to the countryside and instead of working hard, you came here to rob people. You are really something." Zhou Ziwen looked at them, not knowing what to say.

After hearing this, several people lowered their heads in shame. They didn't know how to answer.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Ziwen said, "Uncle Liu, these are educated youth. Why don't we hand them over to the Educated Youth Office for handling?"

"Educated youth?" Liu Defa frowned. He didn't expect that these criminals were educated youth.

"Yes, these people are all educated youth. It is appropriate to hand them over to the Educated Youth Office for handling." Zhou Ziwen nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Defa was silent for a moment, then said: "Okay, let's leave it to the Educated Youth Office." Although the Educated Youth Office was only a department that managed the educated youth, it also had certain powers, so it should be no problem for it to deal with a few educated youth who made mistakes.

After making the decision, Zhou Ziwen and Liu Defa brought several educated youth to the educated youth office.

When he saw Zhou Ziwen walking in with a few educated youth, he was stunned for a moment.

When the staff of the Youth Office saw Zhou Ziwen and several other educated youths coming in, they were stunned for a moment, then asked vigilantly, "What's going on with you?"

Zhou Ziwen stepped forward and said politely, "Hello, comrade. I am Zhou Ziwen from Dabazi Village. Today I encountered these educated youths robbing Uncle Liu Defa on the road, and I subdued them. I thought the educated youth office knew them better, so I sent them here, hoping to handle this matter properly."

After listening to Zhou Ziwen's explanation, the staff member's expression eased a little. He looked at the dejected educated youth and said seriously, "What's wrong with you guys? Educated youth went to the countryside to receive training and contribute to rural construction. How could you do such a criminal thing?"

When several educated youth heard the staff's scolding, they trembled and lowered their heads almost to the ground. One of them cried, "Comrade, we were wrong. We just went to the countryside not long ago and we made mistakes because we were confused. Please give us a chance."

The staff member frowned and said seriously: "Opportunities are not something you ask for. You have made such a mistake and you must bear the consequences. Tell me, why did you go to rob?"

Several educated youths looked at each other, and finally the one with a tearful voice spoke up: "After we went to the countryside, the living conditions were too difficult. We really couldn't stand it. And we didn't have money to buy some daily necessities. We were impulsive..."

The staff member sighed and said, "Hardship is temporary. You should face it positively instead of breaking the law. Do you know that your actions will not only bring serious consequences to yourself, but also bring discredit to other educated youth?"

Zhou Ziwen watched from the side and also said: "Yes, you just went to the countryside and may not be used to it yet, but this cannot be an excuse for you to make mistakes. Everyone has been through this, as long as you work hard, life will get better."

Liu Defa also said: "I understand your difficulties, but robbery is absolutely unforgivable. If I hadn't met Comrade Zhou Ziwen today, I might have suffered a disaster."

When several educated youth heard what the staff, Zhou Ziwen and Liu Defa said, they all lowered their heads in shame. They knew they were wrong, and very wrong.

The staff member looked at the educated youths, was silent for a moment, and then said, "I will report this matter truthfully. How to deal with it specifically depends on the decision from above."

Zhou Ziwen and Liu Defa nodded when they heard this. They knew that this matter was no longer something they could interfere with.
