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

"You kid, you're still keeping us in suspense." Tian Fujun scolded with a smile.

"This story is not finished yet. I will show it to you all after I finish it," Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile as he looked at everyone.

Both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves during the meal!

…………

After dinner, Zhao Dongchuan declined Tian Fujun’s offer to stay overnight and returned to the guesthouse. He was afraid that he would not be able to help but talk too much. If one knows a little, he is a genius, but if one knows too much, he is a monster.

After what Zhao Dongchuan said, Xu Aiyun and Xu Guoqiang would definitely not force Runye and Xiang Qian's marriage anymore.

Although I won't change my attitude immediately, I will definitely not take it too seriously or be too anxious.

This greatly reduced the pressure on Tian Runye.

After returning to the guesthouse, Zhao Dongchuan washed up, did some exercises, read books, wrote, exercised, and meditated.

After going through the whole process, I didn't fall asleep until late at night.

The next morning, Zhao Dongchuan paid the room fee, put on his bag, rode his bicycle, and headed for Shuangshui Village.

Although he had only not been back for a few months, it seemed like a lifetime ago to Zhao Dongchuan. Before, he was a farmer who earned work points in the countryside, but now he was a government employee and had started a "side business", making a lot of money. There was nothing he could do about it since he was a "hungry bastard".

Thinking while driving on the bumpy dirt road.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first." Zhao Dongchuan complained that he didn't know when a cement road could be built here.

As the weather got hotter, Zhao Dongchuan's forehead was covered with sweat along the way. Although he had a strong physique, he could hardly withstand the summer heat.

Along the way, he saw that many crops on the mountains were almost drying up and turning gray, and some crops on the sunny slopes had even turned yellow.

"In this weather, if it doesn't rain, this year's harvest will be ..." Zhao Dongchuan said worriedly.

It was because of the drought and severe water shortage that several villages upstream of the Donla River blocked the water, so Shuangshui Village took the risk and dug up the dam, leading to a disaster.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but speed up. He wanted to stop this tragedy before it happened.

When they arrived at Shuangshui Village, Zhao Dongchuan got off the car and pushed it. Many people had already recognized this as the "scholar" from their village. The brave ones came forward to greet him, while others who were not familiar with him just stared at him.

Zhao Dongchuan greeted everyone with a smile on his face. Soon he heard the news and Secretary Tian came running over, followed by his loyal supporter Sun Yuting.

"Secretary Tian, ​​long time no see. I hope you are in good health."

"Oh, Xiao Zhao, you're back. I knew you would come back to see us!" Tian Futang said with a smile.

"Secretary Tian, ​​is my cave still mine?"

"Of course, our village committee has voted to approve it. That cave is yours, and no one else can touch it!"

"Secretary Tian, ​​this is it. I have something to write recently and need to stay in Shuangshui Village for a while.

I've brought all the rations and stuff, so don't worry about me."

When Tian Futang heard that Zhao Dongchuan was coming back to live with him, he started to think about the food issue. He felt relieved when he heard this. There was not much food in the village. If Zhao Dongchuan wanted to share a share of the food, he was afraid that others would object. Fortunately, Zhao Dongchuan brought it up himself.

"No way! Your coming is an honor to our Shuangshui Village!" Sun Yuting said from the side.

Then Zhao Dongchuan pushed the cart to his broken cave.

No one had lived there for a few months, and it seemed a bit run-down.

"Brother Dong, you are here!"

Sun Shaoping also heard the news and came out of the house.

"Shaoping, why are you back? Don't you have to go to school today?" Zhao Dongchuan asked puzzledly.

"My brother went to Shanxi. My father is too busy with the farm work at home, so I went home to help!"

"Well, that's it. After you finish your work, come to my room in the evening and I will give you extra lessons." Zhao Dongchuan said.

"Okay, thank you Brother Dong!" Sun Shaoping couldn't help but feel happy when he heard that he could study with Zhao Dongchuan.

Later, with the help of Sun Shaoping and several enthusiastic villagers, the cave was quickly cleaned.

Although it still looks shabby, it is very clean and tidy.

After everyone left, Zhao Dongchuan closed the door and took out some daily necessities, a kerosene lamp, and a small desk from the space.

After everything was cleaned up, Zhao Dongchuan prepared to make a fire and cook. Although the firewood here was almost used up, it was still enough to cook a meal.

Before he could light the fire, there was a knock on the door.

"Brother Dong, my dad wants you to come to our house for dinner!"

The person who came was Sun Shaoping.

"No, I'm just lighting the fire and cooking.

I also brought a lot of cakes and bread from the city, so I won’t starve. I really don’t need it!”

Zhao Dongchuan knew that Sun Yuhou's family was not doing well and didn't want to trouble them.

Seeing Zhao Dongchuan's firm attitude, Sun Shaoping had no choice but to go back.

Zhao Dongchuan cooked a bowl of noodles for lunch, rested for a while, then picked up a bag of food he brought from the county and walked towards Sun Yuhou's house.

"Xiao Zhao, you're here!" At this time, Sun Yuhou was squatting in the corner of the yard smoking a pipe. When he saw Zhao Dongchuan coming, he quickly stood up and greeted him.

"Uncle Sun, how are you doing recently?"

"It's fine, it's fine, come in and sit down!"

"Brother Dong, you're here!" Sun Shaoping also heard the voice and came out to greet him.

After the few people entered the house, Zhao Dongchuan took out a piece of cake from his bag and handed it to the old man Yuhou's mother.

"This cake is delicious and soft," Zhao Dongchuan gestured to Old Man Sun's mother.

Then he took out some food from the city.

"They are just some snacks. You don't have to be polite, Uncle Sun. You are my savior!" Zhao Dongchuan said, ignoring the old man Sun's refusal.

After learning more about the current situation of Sun Yuhou's family, Zhao Dongchuan found out that there hasn't been much change. They are still as poor as before. However, Sun Shaoping's conditions in school are much better due to Zhao Dongchuan's help, and he has become more confident after listening to the revolutionary story speeches.

"Lanxiang, how is your study going?" Zhao Dongchuan asked.

"Very good!" Lanxiang said a little shyly.

"Uncle Sun, I saw on the way here that the crops don't seem to be in good condition. Has it not rained for many days?" Zhao Dongchuan asked.

"Who said it wasn't? The crops are all withered. If it doesn't rain, we'll have to beg for food in the second half of the year!" Old man Yuhou showed a helpless expression on his dark face.

"The water in the Donla River can be used!" said Zhao Dongchuan.

"That's true, but several villages upstream have intercepted the water, so we have no water here," Sun Yuhou said helplessly.

【ding, trigger the system task, task content: help Shuangshui Village resolve the drought crisis and prevent the disaster. Task time limit: 48 hours, task reward: 3 lottery opportunities, task failure: random deduction of an item, completion progress: 0/1. 】

Looking at the system task prompt, Zhao Dongchuan was very surprised. Finally, the task was triggered again. It turned out that this trip was not in vain.

However, the reward for this mission is smaller, there are only 3 chances to draw, and the time limit is 2 days. There are also penalties?

Zhao Dongchuan knew that this was because the task was relatively simple, so there were fewer chances to draw a lottery, and there were penalties, but it was better to have something than nothing.
