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

Zhao Dongchuan stopped and felt both familiar and unfamiliar. He remembered this place. This was the compound of the County Revolutionary Committee where Tian Runye's second father Tian Fujun worked. County officials lived there. This was the main scene of the plot. Two goddesses that the audience could not let go of, "Tian Runye" and "Tian Xiaoxia", lived there.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dongchuan wanted to laugh for some reason.

The audience can only watch through the screen, but he "drilled" directly into the TV to watch. This feeling can probably only be experienced by those who are also time travelers.

Zhao Dongchuan smiled a little self-satisfiedly and continued to push the cart forward. Just as he was about to ask someone about the location of the county cultural center, he heard someone calling him. The voice sounded familiar.

"Brother Dong, Brother Dong, wait for me"

Zhao Dongchuan turned his head and looked towards the sound, only to see a man and a woman walking towards him.

The man was Sun Shaoping, whom he had met in the morning. The woman was in her twenties, pushing a bicycle, with two pigtails, wearing a red floral cotton jacket, and had a beautiful face.

"Brother Dong, where are you going? Have you done anything?"

"Yes, Shaoping. It's almost time. I went to the post office to send a letter home. Now, I'm planning to go to the cultural center to look for some information," Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile.

"Shaoping, who is this person?" the woman asked curiously.

"Sister Runye, this is the educated youth from our village who I mentioned to you—Zhao Dongchuan. He was the one who helped bring the pickled vegetables here."

"Um, this is Tian Runye. Well, it's indeed a good color, very pleasing to the eye," Zhao Dongchuan said in his heart.

"Hello, I was just thinking about finding an opportunity to thank you, and I just happened to meet you. Thank you, I really like my mother's pickled vegetables, they satisfy my craving," Runye said with a smile.

"What are you thanking me for? I was able to come to the city thanks to Secretary Tian who lent me the bicycle. Otherwise, I would have to walk for half a day and would have been very tired. Having a bicycle can save me a lot of suffering." Zhao Dongchuan waved his hands.

"Then you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go to the cultural center to check some information." Zhao Dongchuan roughly guessed that this should be the scene where "Sun Shaoping" and "Tian Xiaoxia" first met in the compound of the County Revolutionary Committee. He didn't want to ruin this beautiful first meeting, so he thought about leaving as soon as possible.

"What information are you looking for at the county cultural center? I'm a teacher at the county primary school and I often go to the county cultural center. Maybe I can help you," Tian Runye said with a smile.

“It’s nothing, I just want to find the mailing addresses of some journals and learn some information. It’s a bit embarrassing to say it, but I wrote something and want to try to submit it.” Zhao Dongchuan touched his nose a little embarrassedly (yes, that’s right, I wrote it with a pen, how can it not be counted as my own writing = =!).

"That's great. You can even write articles by yourself. That's awesome, awesome." Tian Runye was a little surprised and said jokingly.

Looking at this young man who was only two years older than Shao Ping, Runye felt that he was probably in a spur of the moment mood, probably because he had read a few books at home and thought he could become a writer. But the young man did not have a dream of becoming a writer. Just like she herself, she also often wrote something, but unfortunately her writing skills were not good and she could not write anything.

"I can really help you with this matter. I have a good classmate named Du Lili, who works at the county cultural center. Her father is the director of the county cultural center. I will write you a letter of introduction. You can go find her and ask her. It will definitely be better than going there in the dark like you." Tian Runye smiled and took out a notebook and pen from her cross-body canvas bag, wrote a piece of paper, tore it up and handed it to Zhao Dongchuan.

"Then I'm really benefiting from Sister Runye this time." Zhao Dongchuan took the note with both hands and looked at Tian Runye with a smile on his face.

Looking at Zhao Dongchuan's smile, Tian Runye felt that there was an inexplicable meaning in this smile, as if it was a metaphor, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She always felt that this kid was not an easy person to deal with.

"Then Sister Runye, Shaoping, I'll leave first. You are busy and I won't delay your dinner." Zhao Dongchuan put away the note, looked at Sun Shaoping meaningfully, then rode away quickly, leaving a cloud of dust behind him, leaving behind a dashing back.

"How did he know that I was going to take Sun Shaoping out for dinner?" Tian Runye thought with some confusion.

This Zhao Dongchuan seemed to know something, and his attitude towards her was a bit strange. Normally, she was a teacher, and Zhao Dongchuan was not very old, but why did he seem a bit casual when talking to her? Well, it was a bit too relaxed, not like the first time they met, but more like someone who was familiar with her.

Zhao Dongchuan was riding a bicycle, feeling a little hesitant. He had left in too much of a hurry just now and had not asked for the specific address of the county cultural center. Now he was in a difficult situation to go back and ask. It was so embarrassing. Zhao Dongchuan felt speechless for himself. He thought that he was a man who was going to travel through the heavens and all realms, so how could he be so distracted? He needed to reflect on himself! He needed to reflect on himself!

In the end, he had no choice but to find a passerby and ask for the direction of the county cultural center, and then he found his way there.

Zhao Dongchuan came to the county cultural center and walked towards the front desk on the first floor. At this time, a girl was writing something.

"Hello, classmate," Zhao Dongchuan said to the girl.

"Um, who are you? We were classmates? Why don't I remember seeing you before?" The girl looked up and looked at him in a silly way.

Looking at the adorable look of the silly girl, Zhao Dongchuan wanted to tease her, but suddenly he remembered that it would be considered hooliganism, so he stopped talking immediately.

"Well, no~~~Well, I'll go find Du Lili." Zhao Dongchuan didn't dare to say anything else.

"You are looking for Sister Lily. Wait a minute, I will call her for you." Then he trotted into the second floor happily.

After a while, two women came down, one was the cute girl, and the other was probably Du Lili.

Du Lili is Tian Runye's classmate. They have been classmates from junior high school to high school. The two are as close as sisters. Du Lili is also a literature lover.

"Are you looking for me?" Du Lili looked at Zhao Dongchuan strangely.

"Hello, I'm Zhao Dongchuan from Shuangshui Village. I have something I want to consult you about, and Sister Runye asked me to ask you." As he said that, he took out the note that Runye had written earlier and handed it to Du Lili.

Du Lili took the note doubtfully and read it, only then did she understand the whole story.

"I understand. I didn't expect you to be so confident that you actually want to submit your article to a journal. Don't worry, Runye and I are classmates and good sisters. Runye asked me to do it, and I will definitely help you," said Du Lili with a smile.

"Your name is Zhao Dongchuan, right? I heard from Runye that you are an educated youth who went to Shuangshui Village to work in the countryside, and you also like literature. We have the same interests. I also like to write something, but I just can't write anything good." Du Lili couldn't help laughing at herself.

It can be seen that this is a cheerful and generous girl.
