The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Zhao Dongchuan rode a bicycle, and Jia Bing sat sideways on the back seat, holding Zhao Dongchuan's waist with both hands and pointing directions from time to time. The two soon arrived at the Huangyuan Cultural Center on Erdao Street.

Huangyuan Cultural Center is a three-story building. You can still vaguely see its former prosperity. It is probably a renovation of a small Western-style building left over from the wealthy and powerful people in the old society.

After parking the car, Jia Bing led Zhao Dongchuan to the director's office.

The director of the Huangyuan Cultural Center is named Wang, an old comrade in his fifties. He had been in the "cowshed" before. In recent years, policies have gradually been relaxed, and after his reinstatement, he was arranged to be the director of the cultural center.

"Director Wang, this is Zhao Dongchuan, the author of "Love Life". He is here to report today," Jia Bing introduced, making half of his body move aside.

"Hahaha, he is indeed a young talent with an extraordinary demeanor." Director Wang has seen countless people, and he could tell at a glance that Zhao Dongchuan's spirit and energy were different from those of ordinary people.

"Director, thank you for your compliment. I am just luckier and I still have a lot to learn. It is an honor to work with you seniors!" Zhao Dongchuan replied quickly. He did not dare to accept such a compliment.

When Director Wang heard Zhao Dongchuan talking, he knew that this man was not a nerd, so he felt relieved. He thought that as a person who could write "Love Life", he must be a man with great ambitions.

This kid has great potential in the future and can be trained as a priority. It would be worth it for him to jump several levels to save him.

"Not bad, not bad," Director Wang nodded and smiled.

"Your current position is to be a cultural center editor, mainly responsible for compiling and collecting poetry and novels from northern Shaanxi. This will not only broaden your horizons, but also give you more time to create. I look forward to your new work coming out!"

"You just got here and you are not familiar with many things yet. Just follow Teacher Jia and let him take you through the process!"

"If you have any difficulties at work or in life, you can come to me directly and I will help you solve them." Director Wang said with a kind smile.

After coming out of the director's office, Zhao Dongchuan was still a little confused. To be honest, it seemed that the director was too nice to him.

Not knowing whether it was true or false, Zhao Dongchuan was a little confused.

Perhaps seeing Zhao Dongchuan's inner doubts, Jia Bing explained: "Director Wang is very supportive of newcomers. Given the current situation, literature has suffered a great blow. He is trying his best to help new forces and hopes that the literary world can be passed on. Our director has high expectations for you!"

Afterwards, Jia Bing took Zhao Dongchuan to the Human Resources Department to go through the entry procedures and accept the household registration file. At the same time, according to regulations, Zhao Dongchuan was given a monthly salary of 40 yuan, 30 kilograms of ration coupons per month, and other cloth coupons, oil coupons and other daily coupons.

In addition, we were given two sets of uniforms, which we were required to wear when we went to work.

Finally, Jia Bing brought Zhao Dongchuan to the staff dormitory of the cultural center. Since most people had families in the city and there were fewer people living in the dormitories, Zhao Dongchuan was lucky enough to live alone in a four-person dormitory.

The dormitory was not occupied by many people, so it was quite messy and full of miscellaneous items. Jia Bing led Zhao Dongchuan to move the miscellaneous items to the utility room next door. By the time they were done, it was already noon.

To express his gratitude, Zhao Dongchuan dragged Jia Bing to a state-owned restaurant for a delicious meal.

"Oh, Xiao Zhao, I'm sorry for costing you money," said Jia Bing, wiping the oil stains from the corner of his mouth.

"It's my duty. Teacher Jia, you have helped me so much and have been running around for me. It's really hard work. In a few days, when I'm settled, please come to my place for dinner with you and your wife," Zhao Dongchuan said sincerely.

"Okay, then I have to try your cooking," Jia Bing said with a smile.

"Go back to the dormitory first, pack up, and see you tomorrow.

By the way, you have to take a 1-inch ID photo today and submit it to the Human Resources Department. You can go to the Human Resources Department to get your work permit tomorrow." Jia Bing reminded.

"Okay, Teacher Jia, see you tomorrow."

After Zhao Dongchuan separated from Jia Bing, he came to the photo studio that Jia Bing mentioned. Their staff often took photos there. Zhao Dongchuan changed into a uniform, spent 1 yuan, and took a photo for his ID. When the staff heard that he was from the cultural center, they helped to expedite the photo.

Zhao Dongchuan waited for about two hours before he got the photo. Looking at his refined self in the black and white photo, he laughed. Although he had been in this world for quite some time, he still felt a bit out of place.

After handing the photos to the Human Resources Department, Zhao Dongchuan returned to the dormitory, took out a rag and basin from the space, filled it with water, and started cleaning.

Soon, the dormitory was completely new, and Zhao Dongchuan felt a great sense of accomplishment. His university dormitory was not so clean.

My health condition has improved, and I am more efficient in doing housework, hehe!!!

The dormitory door was open at this time because of cleaning and water collection. Just then someone came back and passed by the dormitory door.

The man looked inside curiously.

"Hey, it's you???" the man asked in surprise.

Zhao Dongchuan turned his head and looked towards the door. The person was none other than Runye's classmate, Du Lili, who had helped Zhao Dongchuan find submission materials before.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Sister Lily," said Zhao Dongchuan.

"Why are you here?" Du Lili asked in disbelief.

"I just reported for work today. The museum arranged for me to live here, and I'm doing the main cleaning now!" Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile.

"Job? You come to work in our cultural center?" Du Lili asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I met the director this morning and have completed the formalities in the Personnel Department," Zhao Dongchuan said as he put down the rag.

"By the way, I went to the county cultural center to look for you yesterday, but I didn't expect you were no longer there."

"Oh, I've been transferred to another job. By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lily said.

"Nothing, just thank you for helping me submit my article!" The journal hasn't been printed yet, and Zhao Dongchuan didn't want to talk about the publication of his work, as if he was deliberately showing off.

"It's okay. It's just a piece of cake."

Du Lili thought that he had come to the county to look for her for such a "small matter", and today they met here by chance. How many levels could a sent-down youth with no background jump to work at the regional cultural center? If he was so unbearable, why did he need to join the team? He was bragging without thinking! !

"Could it be that this boy likes me and is deliberately getting close to me?" Du Lili thought to herself.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. Du Lili couldn't help but feel a little angry. Who was she? She was the director of the county cultural center. No, she was now the daughter of the deputy director of the Huangyuan Cultural Bureau. She was pretty and had a stable and decent job in the city. How could she be interested in him?

It's like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh! ! ! !

Thinking of this, Du Lili couldn't help but look at Zhao Dongchuan with contempt, then turned around and walked away quickly, fearing that she would be entangled.

Zhao Dongchuan was left standing there in a daze, feeling confused.

Zhao Dongchuan didn't care about Du Lili who suddenly became a little "neurotic". He closed the door, took out daily necessities, bedding, and "Self-study Books on Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" from the space and placed them one by one.
