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

After returning to the guesthouse, Zhao Dongchuan took a shower, changed his clothes, and prepared to buy a ticket back. Including the time on the road, he had been here for more than ten days. Although the system task was to be completed within 2 months, there was still plenty of time, but he was afraid that he would have trouble explaining to Jia Bing if he went back too late.

Zhao Dongchuan left the guesthouse and went straight to the train station, where he queued up to buy a ticket. Fortunately, on his return trip, he had a work permit and was not asked to see a letter of introduction. After consulting the ticket seller, he found out that all the sleeper tickets for the last two days were sold out, and only the sleeper tickets for the day after tomorrow afternoon were available.

Zhao Dongchuan had thought that sleeper tickets were easy to buy, but he didn't expect them to be so popular here.

After thinking about it, Zhao Dongchuan understood. Before, the rich people in Huangyuan City had nothing to do and were unwilling to go out, while those who wanted to go out had no money. This was why it was easy to buy sleeper tickets from Huangyuan City to here. Although this place is only a small town, it is adjacent to the port city. There are many rich people who rely on smuggling, and they go to various parts of China to make a living through various channels.

These days, there are clear regulations on the types, quantities and weight of carry-on luggage and parcels. Police inspections are conducted from time to time to prevent speculation and long-distance trafficking. Zhao Dongchuan has some room and is not afraid of inspections, but he doesn't know how others avoid inspections.

After buying the ticket, Zhao Dongchuan prepared to find a state-owned restaurant to satisfy his hunger. While thinking about going back, Zhao Dongchuan walked into a state-owned restaurant.

After entering the state-owned restaurant, Zhao Dongchuan ordered two home-cooked dishes. While waiting for the dishes, Zhao Dongchuan habitually began to look at the other customers around him.

One of the middle-aged men was reading a newspaper that looked like a book while eating, which caught Zhao Dongchuan's attention. He stared at it carefully and found it seemed to be a magazine.

Before Zhao Dongchuan could take a closer look, the man had already finished his meal and put it away.

After a while, his food arrived. Without thinking about anything else, he concentrated on eating and became a real eater.

After dinner, Zhao Dongchuan returned to the guesthouse.

When the staff at the guesthouse saw him coming in, they stopped him and said, "Hello, comrade. Two of your friends came to see you a few days ago. You were not there at the time, so they asked me to tell them that they would come to see you in two days."

"Okay, thank you, I got it. I'll be in the guesthouse these two days. If anyone wants to see me, just let me know directly." Zhao Dongchuan knew who was looking for him without even thinking.

There is no one else here except Li Yuer and Hu Jianjun whom I met on the train.

He was not surprised that Hu Jianjun came to him, but it was a bit strange that Li Yuer also came to him. They were not very familiar with each other. Men could have a meal together and drink and brag, so why would a cadre's child come to him? He was not so narcissistic that he thought that he could worship others and bow down to him just by "shaking his tiger body" after traveling through time.

I have nothing to do these two days, so I get together with them and make some friends.

Sure enough, Hu Jianjun came the next day.

While he was doing exercises in his room, there was a knock on the door. Zhao Dongchuan opened the door and saw a staff member from the guesthouse, who told him that someone was looking for him.

When Zhao Dongchuan got off the car, he saw Hu Jianjun leaning against the car and smoking with a smug look on his face.

"Old Zhao, you are so busy. I finally caught you today," Hu Jianjun said excitedly.

"Come on, I'll drive you around today," Hu Jianjun said as he opened the car door.

"Boy, can you drive by yourself now?" Zhao Dongchuan asked with a smile.

"What a coincidence! I passed the exam when I came back, but I'm not officially employed yet. Today, a friend of mine was not feeling well, so I got the job," Hu Jianjun grinned.

"Oh, then I have to sit here and take advantage of you today," Zhao Dongchuan got on the passenger seat.

Hu Jianjun then drove with Zhao Dongchuan along the road in Shenzhen and drove to the Bao'an County Porcelain Factory to deliver goods to the department store in Shenzhen.

When Hu Jianjun got out of the car and took the list to find the people from the porcelain factory to start loading the goods, Zhao Dongchuan also got out of the car, took a breath, looked around, and found a lot of broken porcelain pieces under the corner of the wall. This reminded him of the first task activated by the system and Shuangshui Village.

At this moment, Zhao Dongchuan suddenly missed the small village a little bit. He didn’t know where the plot was developing at this moment. The time span of "Ordinary World" is relatively large. Many plot scenes have passed in half a year or a year, but there is no "transition" in the real world.

He paid for Shao Ping's food expenses, so Shao Ping didn't have to go hungry and didn't have to hide until the last person came out to take his black steamed bun. He was just afraid that Shao Ping would "save the beauty" by himself and lick Hao Hongmei.

I don't know what's going on with Shaoan, Runye, and Xiulian too.

For a moment, Zhao Dongchuan's thoughts were scattered and he didn't know where they were drifting to.

When he came to his senses, the goods had already been loaded and Hu Jianjun was calling him to get in the car and prepare to return to Shenzhen.

The two chatted along the way, and Zhao Dongchuan mentioned in passing that he had bought a ticket and was ready to go back.

Hu Jianjun suggested that the two of them go to the most famous state-owned restaurant in Bao'an County for dinner as a farewell party for Zhao Dongchuan.

Zhao Dongchuan had no objection, so Hu Jianjun drove to the state-owned hotel in Bao'an County.

As soon as he got off the car, Zhao Dongchuan looked at the cars parked on the side of the road and felt that they looked very familiar. When he entered the restaurant, he saw Li Yuer, his father and a man who looked like a leading cadre discussing something while waiting for their food.

Li Yuer and the others were talking and didn't see Zhao Dongchuan and the others come in. Zhao Dongchuan and Hu Jianjun looked at each other and kept silent. They prepared to find an empty table nearby so as not to disturb them.

But when Hu Jianjun and Zhao Dongchuan called the waiter to take their order, Li Yuer inevitably heard some voices that sounded familiar, and out of a girl's instinct she turned to look at them.

When she saw them, Li Yuer's eyes lit up.

He lowered his head and said a few words to his father. His father turned around and saw Zhao Dongchuan and the others, then smiled and nodded.

Li Yuer left the table and walked towards them.

"What a coincidence, I ran into you guys. Why didn't you invite me to your party?" Li Yuer was no longer shy as she had when they first met, and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"I was busy a few days ago and didn't meet him. Today, it just so happened that Lao Hu came to the county to transport goods, so I took advantage of his kindness and took a ride in his car and chatted with him on the way." Zhao Dongchuan responded with a smile.

"Old Zhao is going back tomorrow, and I'm thinking of finding a restaurant to treat him to a meal as a farewell party," said Hu Jianjun.

At this moment, Li Yuer's father also stopped talking and invited them to have dinner together. There were not many people, so one table was just right.

Zhao Dongchuan couldn't refuse. There were people everywhere and it wouldn't look good if they made a fuss, so he just went with the flow and agreed.

"Xiao Zhao, I haven't seen you for many days. How do you feel about this place?" Father Li asked with a smile.

"Uncle Li, it's pretty good here, more developed than our place." Zhao Dongchuan also found through observation that people here are more tolerant towards small businesses, and the general living conditions are better than in Huangyuan.

At this time, the dishes slowly came up, and everyone started eating. During the meal, the cadre toasted Li's father from time to time.

Father Li also talked to the man about work with a smile.

"Director Li, the "net raiding" in Bao'an has been getting more and more serious recently, and the border guards are too soft-hearted to take action. We are really helpless!" said the man disappointedly.

"Raise the net higher, dig more pits, set up some obstacles, try to delay it. Remember, don't shoot unless the situation is serious!!"
