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

After watching a movie, Zhao Dongchuan was hungry. It was already late, and he didn't plan to hang around outside, so he went straight back to the dormitory.

Zhao Dongchuan returned to the dormitory and didn't want to cook, so he took out the leftovers from lunch and started eating. The time in this space was relatively still, and it was extremely convenient to use. The food put in still retained the heat as before, which was better than a refrigerator, but it could not cool or heat.

Zhao Dongchuan shook his head and shook off these unrealistic ideas!

Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, Zhao Dongchuan ate up all the food before taking it to the public sink outside to wash the dishes.

Afterwards, Zhao Dongchuan started doing his homework again. As the saying goes, "Study hard and make progress every day" in order to live up to the system pen!

A night without words...

In the following days, Zhao Dongchuan worked hard and made up for the lessons he had missed. He went back and forth between Shuangshui Village and Huangyuan City these days and he got used to it.

These days, Zhao Dongchuan finished all his previous work and took a few days off, then he found Jia Bing.

"Teacher Jia, I plan to go to the provincial capital in the next two days to find the editor-in-chief of "Yanhe" and discuss the publication of the work "Yellow Earth"!" Zhao Dongchuan said to Jia Bing with a smile.

Jia Bing looked at Zhao Dongchuan with a smile and said, "Okay, you should have done this a long time ago. I saw that you were not in a hurry, so I didn't rush you. I thought that you just finished and were busy with work in the museum, so you must be very tired!"

"Well, I'll take you to see Director Wang and report this matter. It would be an honor for our museum if it can be published. Maybe the director can give you some advice and help you!" Jia Bing said as he led Zhao Dongchuan to Director Wang's office.

Jia Bing stopped at Director Wang's door, knocked, and heard Director Wang's voice.

"Please come in!"

Jia Bing led Zhao Dongchuan into the office.

"Director Wang!"

"Hello, Director Wang!" Zhao Dongchuan shouted.

"It's Teacher Jia and Xiao Zhao. Come on, have a seat!" Director Wang put down the newspaper in his hand and hurriedly asked the two to sit down.

Seeing that Director Wang was about to pour tea for the two, Zhao Dongchuan, as the youngest person here, hurriedly stood up and said, "Let me do it!"

As he said that, he rushed to take the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the two of them and himself.

Director Wang did not stop him, but just looked at Xiao Zhao with a smile.

"Tell me, why did you two come here together?"

"It's like this. I mentioned to you before that Xiao Zhao is writing a novel with the Loess Plateau as the background. Xiao Zhao has already finished it, and was thinking of going to the provincial capital to find the editor of Yanhe to discuss the publication, so I came here to report on my work to you!" Jia Bing said concisely and straight to the point.

"Haha, this is good. I heard from Teacher Jia that you put a lot of effort into this book and even went to the countryside to collect materials!" Director Wang said to Xiao Zhao with a smile.

"Yes, Director Wang, I go back to Shuangshui Village from time to time to collect some materials. Mainly because I feel more inspiration there!" Zhao Dongchuan smiled, but he felt a little nervous inside. Most of the time, he actually went to open dungeons.

"Good, good, good, it's rare that you can keep your feet on the ground and keep writing. Now you have new works, which is cause for celebration.

Well, if you plan to go to the provincial capital, I can arrange it for you. I have an old friend there, I'll ask him to look after you!" Director Wang picked up a pen and paper and wrote a letter of introduction on the spot.

"Take this letter and I will notify him. Go find him when you arrive in the provincial capital." Director Wang handed the letter to Zhao Dongchuan and said.

Director Wang then told Zhao Dongchuan his friend's name and address.

The three of them sat down and chatted for a while. Director Wang asked Zhao Dongchuan for the manuscript of the novel, read it for a while, and then returned it to him.

"I originally wanted to take a sneak peek, but I'm afraid I'll be unable to let go once I see it, and it will delay your trip. I'd better wait until you publish it before I take a look at it!" Director Wang said with a bit of regret.

Then Zhao Dongchuan and Jia Bing said goodbye and left together.

"Mr. Hei is a famous old writer in the country. I didn't expect that our Director Wang, who is low-key, is actually friends with such a person!" Jia Bing said to Zhao Dongchuan with a surprised look on his face after leaving the office.

"I've also heard of Mr. Hei. He has a great influence in our province and even in the whole country. His editorials can often be seen in newspapers!" Zhao Dongchuan was a little surprised about this.

At first he thought the curator was just introducing an old friend to provide a place to stay, but he didn't expect it to be such an important figure.

He knew Hei Lao, a character who appeared in the original novel. He didn't appear many times, but he played a very important role!

It was a good decision for him to follow Jia Bing to report to Director Wang this time. Apart from the publication of the novel, it was also a special experience to meet such a senior.

Of course, Zhao Dongchuan had no intention of currying favor with him. He was quite confident in himself. After all, he was a "hack"! Who was he looking down on?

He thought that things were almost done, and he could visit the old man and get to know him.

After separating from Jia Bing, Zhao Dongchuan got off work and went straight back to the dormitory. He cooked himself a big meal, and after eating and drinking his fill, he put on his backpack and rode his bicycle towards Beiguan Yanggou.

He planned to say hello to Li Huiying and explain the situation before leaving. After all, he had told Li Huiying to wait for his news.

Zhao Dongchuan was riding his bicycle quickly. The weather was getting colder and many people on the road were wearing thick cotton-padded jackets. He was only wearing a long-sleeved shirt and did not feel cold.

Maybe it’s because he practices the Five Animal Exercises regularly. With his current physical condition, ordinary bacteria and viruses cannot have any effect on his body at all.

In addition, the "Introduction to Qi Refining" made his body feel like there was a faint aura surrounding it. Although it was not yet to the point where he was immune to all diseases, it was almost there.

About half an hour later, Zhao Dongchuan arrived at the Beiguanyanggou Brigade.

According to the address Li Huiying had given him before, he asked the villagers in the same village about Li Huiying's location. Soon he came to a three-hole cave courtyard. Zhao Dongchuan saw that there was a half-finished "construction site" on one side of the courtyard!

I guess this is the new kiln that Li Huiying's ex-husband wanted to rebuild before his accident.

Zhao Dongchuan knocked on the door, and soon he heard the sound of footsteps.

"Yeah!"

The door was opened, and a little girl with pigtails poked her head out. It was Cao Yuan, who had not been seen for many days.

"Oh, it's Brother Zhao!" Cao Yuan couldn't help but shout when she saw who it was.

Then Cao Yuan jumped up happily and shouted to the yard, "Mom, Brother Zhao is here to see us!"

At this time, Li Huiying, who heard her daughter's scream in the inner room, was getting up and walking out. Hearing this, she hurriedly quickened her pace and walked quickly towards the yard.
