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

The next day, after Zhao Dongchuan washed up and had breakfast, he rode his bicycle to visit Cao Yuan and her daughter's home.

At this time, Cao Yuan and her daughter were already waiting for him.

"Xiao Zhao, you're here. Have you eaten? There's some meat left from yesterday. I'll give you another plate of fried meat." Li Huiying greeted him warmly when she saw Zhao Dongchuan coming.

"No, I've already had dinner."

"Let's go into the house first!" Zhao Dongchuan and Cao Yuan, mother and daughter, entered the house.

"This is the watch I brought over. You can try to sell it. It doesn't matter if you can sell it or not. Just test the waters first!" Zhao Dongchuan said as he took out a plastic-wrapped electronic watch from his bag and handed it to Li Huiying.

Although a lot of plans and programs were made yesterday, no one knew what would happen when they were implemented. Zhao Dongchuan did not want to put too much pressure on Li Huiying.

"Don't worry, Xiao Zhao, since you trust me so much and are willing to help my daughter and I, it's not an exaggeration to say that you are our adopted parents. I, Li Huiying, am only a woman and don't know anything else. I will never forget your kindness." As she spoke, Li Huiying's eyes turned red and she was about to kneel down.

Zhao Dongchuan quickly stopped him.

"Auntie, don't be like this. I'm just helping you a little. It's mainly up to you to work hard on your own."

Afterwards, Zhao Dongchuan discussed with Li Huiying again and determined the first delivery location - the entrance of Dongguan Cinema. Those who can watch movies there are generally young people who have money at home and are in love and can afford the money, and there is no one checking there.

So Li Huiying put the watch in her bag and went to the cinema.

Looking at Li Huiying's back, Zhao Dongchuan told Cao Yuan not to run around at home and not to open the door to strangers, then rode his bicycle to the cultural center to work.

When we arrived at the cultural center, Jia Bing was also there. He was sitting at his desk drinking tea and reading the editorial of People's Daily.

After saying hello to Jia Bing, Zhao Dongchuan sat down at his desk and caught up on the work he had neglected for more than ten days.

Zhao Dongchuan chatted with Teacher Jia while doing his work.

Although he was chatting with Teacher Jia, he was actually paying attention to the progress of the tasks on the system interface. After Zhao Dongchuan learned about the amount of foreign debt, the system progress had been converted into RMB.

[Completion progress: 0/200 yuan]

The morning passed quickly, and the system remained unchanged. Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but worry. Did he fail to find a buyer? Or was he arrested?

Zhao Dongchuan didn't want to stay in the office anymore, so he said hello to Teacher Jia, left the cultural center, and rode his bicycle towards the home of Cao Yuan and her daughter.

When I arrived at Cao Yuan's house, before I even entered, I could vaguely hear the voices of Cao Yuan and Li Huiying talking from inside, and there was a hint of joy in their voices.

Zhao Dongchuan also felt relieved. No matter what, at least the person was fine. This was the best news.

"Oh, Xiao Zhao, you're here, come in." Zhao Dongchuan knocked on the door. Li Huiying heard the sound and hurried over to open the door.

"How is it?" Zhao Dongchuan asked hurriedly after entering the inner room. This was related to the system task, so he couldn't help but be nervous.

"It's done," Li Huiying could no longer hold back her joy and said to Zhao Dongchuan with a smile on her face.

"I arrived at the cinema entrance and soon saw a young man taking a girl to see a movie."

"I followed him quietly and found an opportunity to ask him. The young man wanted to buy it on the spot, but he didn't have that much money in his pocket. He said he would go home to collect some money and then rode back on his bicycle."

"I was quite conflicted at the time, not knowing whether I should wait for him or not. In the end, I felt that the boy really wanted it, so I decided to wait there."

"Finally, the young man really came with the money, and he sold a total of 160 yuan." Li Huiying took out a stack of money, mostly 10 yuan Great Unity notes, and some 5 yuan Steelmaking notes (the largest denomination at that time was 10 yuan, with "Great Unity of the People" printed on it; 5 yuan had the image of a steelworker printed on it).

Zhao Dongchuan also felt relieved. It seemed that the first order was successful. But why didn’t the system give any prompts and the progress bar didn’t change?

Is it because the money is not yet considered Li Huiying's? It will only be considered hers after she gets the commission?

The system is so smart? (System: Get lost, I am the system of the universe, who are you looking down on???)

Zhao Dongchuan took the money and took out a 10-yuan Great Unity note and a 5-yuan note with a steel worker printed on it.

"This is your commission," Zhao Dongchuan handed 15 yuan to Li Huiying.

"Ding, completion progress: 15/200."

As expected, I guessed correctly. The task progress will only be calculated after the commission is settled.

Li Huiying held the 15 yuan in her hand, feeling excited. Although she had 160 yuan in her pocket before, she knew that it was not hers, so she naturally didn't feel anything. Although she only had 15 yuan in her hand at this time, it was actually her commission and the money she earned.

When she first set up a stall, she could only earn one dollar a day at most when sales were good.

By this calculation, 15 yuan is equivalent to half a month's hard work. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in her heart. It turned out that this "Xiao Zhao" was the noble man destined for them.

"Yeah, yeah, Mom, we made money!" Cao Yuan couldn't help but jump up on the side.

Li Huiying hugged her daughter, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and was so excited that she couldn't speak.

Although Zhao Dongchuan felt that this was not a big deal, he also understood the excitement in the hearts of Li Huiying and her daughter. They had suffered misfortunes one after another and were filled with despair. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events, and things took a turn for the better. They even made more money. This was truly a blessing from heaven for them.

Zhao Dongchuan agreed with Li Huiying that he would bring two more watches in the afternoon and then returned to the dormitory.

Zhao Dongchuan returned to the dormitory and happily prepared an extra meal for himself, cooking a pot of greasy pork belly.

The watch was sold for 160 yuan. After deducting the cost and the commission given to Li Huiying, the total profit was 130 yuan, which is really a huge profit.

Delicious!!!!

Thinking of this, Zhao Dongchuan found that the meat in the bowl smelled even better.

Mmm, it smells so good!!!

So in the next few days, Zhao Dongchuan would come every morning to deliver two watches to Li Huiying, then go back to work, and come back after get off work to collect the payment and settlement commission.

[Completion progress: 90/200]

Looking at the task progress displayed by the system, Zhao Dongchuan's mouth was crooked with smile.

"Hahaha, the mission is almost halfway done."

After he calmed down, Zhao Dongchuan thought about it and felt that it was about time. He could not go to the cinema anymore. He guessed that many people had already set their sights on Li Huiying.

After work that day, after settling accounts with Li Huiying, Zhao Dongchuan talked about this matter with Li Huiying.

Li Huiying naturally agreed. She had recently discovered that someone seemed to be observing her at the entrance of the cinema.

Fortunately, she and Zhao Dongchuan had thought of it in advance. They both covered half of their faces with scarves, and walked around a few times to join the crowd before returning through the small path on their way home.

Fortunately, the people we found were all honest young men, and none of them brought anyone to report her.
