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

"I'll put these things away first and come back to see you later!" Zhao Dongchuan did not refuse, but just pointed to the big bag full of watches on the ground.

"Okay, go ahead. I'll wait for you in the room. I'll also have some tea and take a rest!" Li Dabing also understood Zhao Dongchuan's concerns and naturally would not stop him.

Zhao Dongchuan picked up the bag with one hand and strode forward. He looked so relaxed, as if he was holding just a bag of cotton.

Li Dabing looked at Zhao Dongchuan's receding back and felt something was not right. Does Xiao Han have such strong hands? 200 watches weigh at least kilograms. Although he could lift them, it would definitely not be so easy.

This "Han Li" is not simple!!!

"It seems that this Xiao Han has been single for many years and has trained himself!" Li Dabing muttered to himself.

Zhao Dongchuan naturally had no idea what Li Dabing was thinking. He carried the bag and walked quickly.

After turning a few street corners, I found an empty corner and put the bag directly into the space.

Then he wandered around for a while before returning the same way and walking into Li Dabing's yard.

Li Dabing was smoking and drinking tea in the house at this time.

"Come on, let's go, I'll take you to the best restaurant here to eat some meat!"

As he said this, he led the way in front. After a while, they arrived at the door of a small courtyard in a small street and knocked on the door.

Squeak! Ah!

The door opened a crack from the inside, the person inside looked outside, and then opened the door.

"Yes, Boss Li, who is this?" the man looked at Zhao Dongchuan and asked.

"Lao Wang, this is my brother. He made a big deal today. Bring him here to have something delicious!" As he said that, he invited Zhao Dongchuan to go inside.

The man did not stop them, but quickly closed the door, trotted to the front, and led them into the yard.

From the outside it looks like a shabby courtyard, but inside it is filled with carved beams and painted buildings, elegant furnishings, and exquisite furniture everywhere, giving it an air of wealth.

"This is a privately owned restaurant. It is said that the chef here used to be from the imperial kitchen!"

Li Dabing didn't say much, but just followed "Lao Wang" to a private room.

This was actually just a better decorated restaurant in later times. Zhao Dongchuan didn't understand why eating there had to be so mysterious.

Old Wang glanced at Zhao Dongchuan and whispered to Li Dabing, "Do you want to order a girl?"

Zhao Dongchuan had very good hearing and although he didn't show it on his face, he was actually complaining in his heart.

Private restaurants are not allowed these days, but you can actually order girls here?

It seems that the boss here is quite powerful!

Really, who am I looking down on! "I have an incompatible relationship with gambling and drugs!"

Li Dabing shook his head slightly and just ordered some "mountain and sea delicacies" that he couldn't usually eat. Zhao Dongchuan naturally pretended not to know and just followed the host's wishes and let Li Dabing take care of the food.

He had eaten all the famous snacks from all over the country. As for the dishes made with special seasonings in later generations, regardless of whether they were healthy or not, the taste was definitely different from what we have now.

Soon the wine and food were served one by one.

The speed is quite good, it’s worthy of being a “private club”!

The two of them drank wine, ate food and talked about everything.

Li Dabing talked about all sorts of things, and although Zhao Dongchuan just agreed with him most of the time and occasionally joined in the conversation, his words were always to the point and thought-provoking.

"You said that our good days will come in two years?" Li Dabing asked Zhao Dongchuan while drunk.

"Yes, no matter which country it is, economic development is inevitable. Without money, nothing can be done. This is true for individuals and countries alike."

"Brother, you are really good at talking. Come on, let's have another drink!" Li Dabing clinked glasses again while being half drunk.

The two also discussed the issue of Gangcheng. Zhao Dongchuan naturally would not say what the future would be like, but only said that the return of Gangcheng was a historical necessity. Li boldly argued that the gap in strength between the two sides was too big, and that it was impossible.

Zhao Dongchuan didn't explain, he just drank and ate, making it impossible for Li Dabing to argue.

In the end, Li Dabing got drunk as expected and passed out. In the end, it was Zhao Dongchuan who paid the bill.

"This guy spent dozens of dollars on a meal? It really deserves to be a private club. Not many people can afford this level of consumption!"

"But I haven't ordered yet..."

"This kid didn't do it on purpose, getting drunk and asking me to pay the bill?" Looking at Li Dabing who looked like a dead dog, Zhao Dongchuan complained inwardly.

Fortunately, I still had some money left in my pocket, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

Zhao Dongchuan supported Li Dabing all the way back to the yard and into the house. He put him on the bed and asked, "Can you do it?"

Li Dabao was stammering and couldn't say anything due to his drunken mouth. He just waved his hands as if to say that it was okay.

After covering him with a quilt, Zhao Dongchuan ignored him and let him have a good rest.

He didn't want to spend the night here, but he was also worried about Li Dabing being alone at home.

In the end, there was no other choice but to lock the gate of the courtyard. When no one was around, he jumped over the wall and escaped.

After brushing the dust off his hands, Zhao Dongchuan returned to the guesthouse.

After taking a hot bath in the guesthouse to get rid of the smell of alcohol, Zhao Dongchuan started his daily tasks again, doing exercises, reading books, and practicing "Introduction to Qi Refining"!

The next morning, Zhao Dongchuan went to the train station, waited in line for half a day, and luckily bought a sleeper ticket for that day.

After that, I went to Li Dabing's place again and knocked on the door, but no one responded. I guess he went out.

Zhao Dongchuan returned to the guesthouse and continued to do his homework.

As the train was about to depart, Zhao Dongchuan packed up simply, paid the room fee, left the guesthouse, and went to the train station.

Sitting in the simple waiting room, Zhao Dongchuan closed his eyes and rested.

Suddenly, he heard a child crying, which made him frown.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a woman in tattered clothes holding a child, begging.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Dongchuan inexplicably recalled an incident when he was in college and was taking a train to school. He met a female student who had "lost her wallet". The female student stopped him pitifully and asked him to help sponsor her travel expenses or something. In the end, he actually believed her and gave her fifty yuan.

Although he felt cheated when he thought about it afterwards, he really wanted to help the "female student" at that time. She was so cute, so she couldn't be a liar, right? He laughed at himself and let it go.

Just as he was thinking about it, the woman came to him.

"Young man, please be merciful. We mother and I are really at a loss!" the woman said with a sad face.

Zhao Dongchuan thought about it, took out a few meat buns, some biscuits, cakes, etc. that he was going to eat on the road from his bag, put them in a bag and handed it to the woman.

After taking it, the woman thanked Zhao Dongchuan profusely and walked away.

For a moment, Zhao Dongchuan couldn't tell whether it was true or false. He thought, maybe it was true. For this possibility, he couldn't pretend that he saw nothing. After all, it was just some food, and he definitely wouldn't give any money.

He saw many people avoiding them directly, or even speaking rudely to them. Oh, life is really full of ups and downs.

For a moment, Zhao Dongchuan felt inexplicably emotional.

If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world!!!

After a while, the train arrived and Zhao Dongchuan started his return journey.

Woo! Woo! Woo! The train whistles and the rumbling wheels keep rolling forward.
