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

Zhao Dongchuan sat peacefully in the cultural center for the entire afternoon, catching up on the work he had missed.

After get off work, Jia Bing insisted on inviting Zhao Dongchuan home for dinner, but in fact he was itching to read Zhao Dongchuan's manuscript.

Zhao Dongchuan originally wanted to go home and cook for himself, but he couldn't stand Jia Bing's persuasion, so he had no choice but to give in.

When they arrived at Jia Bing's house, while his wife was cooking, Jia Bing couldn't help but read the manuscript of the novel written by Zhao Dongchuan.

Zhao Dongchuan took out a stack of manuscripts from his bag, handed them to Jia Bing and said, "Please correct me, Teacher Jia!"

"Hahaha, I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, I just got a sneak peek."

Then Jia Bing began to watch it attentively.

"In real life, Gu Qing is confident that his emotions are not very fragile.

Gu Qing had heard the enemy's artillery bombardment in the trenches for several days and nights...

……At these moments when his life was in danger at any time, his emotions had not yet changed……

But for some reason, he was particularly afraid of... the endless echoes in the mountains and valleys...

In 1942, when Gu Qing was only 22 years old, he went to Lihuangyuan for work and recorded the Shuntianyou folk song "Lanhuahua".

As time went by and the manuscript was turned, Jia Bing's face started to smile, then gradually became heavy, and finally angry... and finally turned into a helpless sigh.

"Ugh……"

"Xiao Zhao, although I haven't read the later part yet, I know this is definitely a novel with a tragic ending. But I have to say, it has a great impact on people. There are always so many helplessness in life!" Jia Bing couldn't help but wipe the moist corners of his eyes as he spoke.

"Boy, I don't know how many young people will cry after your book is published." Jia Bing slowly recovered from the book and scolded Zhao Dongchuan with a smile.

"Teacher Jia, do you think there are any areas of this book that need adjustment?" Zhao Dongchuan looked at Jia Bing.

"Xiao Zhao, you think too highly of me. When it comes to writing poetry, I do have some insights. I'm not good at writing novels, but I can see that you put a lot of effort into this book. It's a very good book. According to your own ideas, this book can definitely be published." Jia Bing said earnestly.

"Old Jia, why are you crying? Your eyes are red!" Shufen walked in with the dishes and asked Jia Bing.

"No, I just got some sand in my eyes!" Jia Bing said with a smile.

Zhao Dongchuan stood up and took the dishes, and said to Shufen: "Sister-in-law, this dish is enough, no need to cook anymore, thank you for your hard work, let's eat!"

The food and wine were ready, and the three of them sat down and started chatting while eating.

Zhao Dongchuan talked about what he saw and heard in Shuangshui Village.

Jia Bing was amazed after hearing this!!!

"Okay, you've done a great thing for Shigejie Commune. Director Bai and Secretary Tian should thank you.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, they will be to blame!

The main thing is that the crops are saved, and the people have food, so they don't have to go out to beg for food! For this, let's do one!"

The three of them chatted, drank and ate, and soon the bottle of wine was empty. As expected, Jia Bing was drunk again.

Zhao Dongchuan helped Shufen carry Jia Bing onto the bed, then said goodbye and left.

Jia Bing's salary is not low, and his family's situation is also good, so why doesn't he have a baby yet?

Zhao Dongchuan left Jia Bing's house and rode his bike to the dormitory, thinking as he walked.

After a while, Zhao Dongchuan returned to the dormitory, washed up to get rid of the smell of alcohol, and then started doing his homework again.

…………

The next morning, Zhao Dongchuan cooked himself a bowl of pork noodles for breakfast and walked towards the office. Before he reached the door, the doorman called him, "Xiao Zhao, there's a letter for you!"

Zhao Dongchuan took the letters. There were two letters, both sent from Pengcheng, one from Hu Jianjun and the other from Li Yuer.

Looking at the letters, he couldn't help feeling ashamed. He had forgotten about them these days and didn't expect that they were still thinking about him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Thinking of Li Yuer, a ripple inexplicably arose in my heart, and I had an urge to rush to Pengcheng to see her immediately.

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form..." Zhao Dongchuan muttered to himself.

Zhao Dongchuan calmed himself down, walked to his desk, opened the envelope and started reading. The first one was from Li Yuer.

The letter was the same as before, talking about the situation in Pengcheng and some interesting things happening around her. She also said that she had been reading literary magazines recently and felt that some of the articles were not in line with reality.

Zhao Dongchuan then wrote back to Li Yuer, telling her about the situation on his side and what he had seen and heard recently.

Hu Jianjun's letter was a little simpler. It said that he was doing well in the transport team and invited him to visit him when he had time.

Zhao Dongchuan also wrote back.

After writing the letter, Zhao Dongchuan continued to work. He had to speed up the progress while he was away.

After get off work, Zhao Dongchuan put the letter with the address filled in and stamped on it into the mailbox next to the cultural center and returned to the dormitory.

When I returned to the dormitory, I saw Du Lili moving things with a handsome man.

"Sister Lily, what are you doing?"

"Um, Xiao Zhao, you're back. I don't plan to live in the dormitory anymore. I need to move some things.

This is my boyfriend, Wu Huiliang." Du Lili introduced.

"Hello!"

"Hello, I'm Zhao Dongchuan!" Zhao Dongchuan shook hands with Wu Huiliang and exclaimed, "Sister Lili, your date is not bad, he's a handsome guy!"

"Handsome guy?" Du Lili was slow to react.

"Uh, it means that people are nice!"

Zhao Dongchuan had said it a little bit. The term "handsome guy" is not popular yet.

"Let me help you move it!"

Then Zhao Dongchuan helped Du Lili and Wu Huiliang move the things into the jeep.

Wu Huiliang's family is well off, and they were able to bring a car over to move.

Nowadays, most moving operations are done using flatbed trucks, and only a few use jeeps.

"Thank you, we will treat you to a meal later!" Wu Huiliang thanked.

"Excuse me, it's just a matter of lending a hand, take care, bye!"

After watching the jeep go away, Zhao Dongchuan returned to the dormitory.

The dormitory, which was originally empty, suddenly became even quieter.

In the evening, Zhao Dongchuan took out the pork and vegetables he had prepared earlier and made himself a hometown delicacy, "steamed pork with rice flour" and scrambled eggs with leeks.

After happily finishing his dinner, Zhao Dongchuan continued to do his exercises.

After this period of hard work, he has finished almost half of the "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry".

Time flies so fast. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be here in less than a month, and then the Spring Festival will be here after a while.

Zhao Dongchuan wondered silently, should he go home during the Mid-Autumn Festival or the Spring Festival?

He wanted to go back to his hometown to see his original parents, to improve their situation and to repay the cause and effect.
