"I don't have time, Brother Chen, look, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with!"
Faced with Chen Yang's invitation, Zhou Ziwen helplessly spread his hands.
He is not interested in getting to know the new educated youth. He has this time, so he might as well do more work at home.
"You are a bit unsociable, brother, just listen to me, just get to know everyone, it won't waste much time." Chen Yang patted his shoulder and persuaded.
"Okay, I'll come later." Faced with Chen Yang's repeated invitations, Zhou Ziwen nodded helplessly.
If he refuses again, he will lose face.
As long as it does not involve issues of principle, he is still easy to talk to.
But he was a little confused. Chen Yang was too enthusiastic! They have not had much contact with the Educated Youth Institute, so it can be said that they have become independent for a long time.
It seems that there is no need for him to go over and get to know new people!
After thinking about it, Zhou Ziwen didn't think about it, so he simply didn't think about it. What the purpose was, he would find out later.
He really didn't believe the so-called talented people were bold. Even now, there were still people trying to take advantage of him.
"By the way, aren't we having dinner together today?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
He remembered that there was a tradition in the Educated Youth Academy. Whenever new educated youth came, they would gather together to have a meal.
After all, the educated youth had just arrived, and they probably brought some delicious food with them. At first, those old educated youths wanted to exploit him.
"Forget it, this is a thankless job, and what happened just now, no one is in the same mood." Chen Yang smiled bitterly.
Because of a few educated youths who stole sweet potatoes, these educated youths were not allowed to see them in the past few days, and the villagers in the village also disliked them, especially the aunts and uncles who spoke in weird ways, and they suffered greatly from it.
"That's true." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
It’s good if we don’t have dinner together. If we don’t have dinner together, there won’t be so many things.
He doesn’t want to eat with these people. If he has this time, wouldn’t it be nice to eat with the two girls at home?
After Chen Yang left, Zhou Ziwen continued to peel the camellia oleifera fruits. After a while, Chen Qiaoyi also came to help.
"Brother Ziwen, Liu Lingling came over just now to ask us to go to the Educated Youth Home." As soon as she arrived, Chen Qiaoyi said.
"Well, Chen Yang was here just now." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"Haha, this is a good opportunity to watch the excitement. I hope there will be a good show to watch later." At this time, Zhou Chaoyang from outside also ran over.
“You kid, you know how to take pleasure in others’ misfortune.” Zhou Ziwen said angrily.
"Haha, you can't blame me for this. I took a look just now and found that some of these educated youths are not law-abiding. They will probably cause a lot of trouble."
Zhou Chaoyang is very discerning and is very familiar with this kind of restless people. When he was in the city, many of his friends were like this.
"Okay, don't be stunned, come and help quickly." Zhou Ziwen urged.
“Here we come.” Zhou Chaoyang consciously moved a bench and peeled the shells with Zhou Ziwen.
It didn’t take long for Chen Shiying and Shen Zhaodi to prepare the meal.
While eating, everyone had a discussion around the new educated youth, and everyone felt that these educated youth were going to cause trouble.
Zhou Chaoyang and Chen Qiaoyi are both people who like to watch the excitement, and they couldn't bear it for a long time.
I just finished my meal and urged them to go over.
However, considering that eating at the Educated Youth Institute may not be so quick, Zhou Ziwen decided to go later.
So they waited for a while, until it was almost dark.
Arriving at the Educated Youth Courtyard, the new educated youths have almost settled in.
This time six came, making up for the few they were missing. As a result, the number of educated youths in Dabazi Village has reached thirty again.
"Brother Zhou, Comrade Chen Shiying, Comrade Chen Qiaoyi... you are here, come in quickly, I will introduce you to some new educated youths."
Seeing Zhou Ziwen and the others, Chen Yang warmly welcomed them into the house.
Seeing Chen Yang being so enthusiastic, Zhou Ziwen felt something was even more wrong.
He frowned and asked Chen Yang directly: "Brother Chen, why are you so enthusiastic?"
With his status in the village, this kind of thing can be asked directly in person.
Based on his contribution to the village, Chen Yang simply cannot compare with him.
Even if there is a conflict between the two, the production team will side with him.
“Well, it’s not just for the quota at the Workers’, Peasants and Soldiers’ University. To be honest, I have been in the country for three years, and I have always dreamed of returning to the city, but I don’t have the resources in the city like others. If I want to return to the city, entering the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University is the only chance for me."
Seeing Zhou Ziwen's expression of "I won't go in until you explain clearly," Chen Yang explained helplessly.
"Have the quota for this year arrived?" After hearing this, Zhou Ziwen understood why Chen Yang was so enthusiastic.
"Well, according to Secretary Wu, there is a quota this year." Chen Yang explained.
He was not afraid that Zhou Ziwen would know, because if he wanted to get a place in the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University, he had to go to the countryside for more than three years. Zhou Ziwen had only been here a few months and did not meet the requirements at all.
If Zhou Ziwen also had this qualification, he probably wouldn't be so relieved.
Regardless of ability or status, Zhou Ziwen is unique.
If it weren’t for the age issue, no one would be able to compete with him.
What Chen Yang didn’t know was that Zhou Ziwen didn’t care about this quota.
In his heart, he feels more free when he stays in the village. Just like he does now, he doesn’t have to go to work. The village will directly credit him with full work points, and the rest of his time is all his own. He doesn’t know how to live this life. How comfortable.
"Congratulations to Brother Chen in advance." Zhou Ziwen patted him on the shoulder.
As the captains of the Educated Youth Academy, he and Liu Lingling are the most promising to get this spot, but they don't know who will win in the end.
In Zhou Ziwen's opinion, the two are equally matched, and who will get this spot in the end depends on their methods.
Although Chen Yang is smart and decent, Liu Lingling also has her advantages.
This woman is scheming. Last time she came to see him late at night in order to join the mushroom group.
This time, in order to obtain a quota for the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University, they will probably resort to some tricks, but I don't know if the village cadres will accept this trick.
"Alas, we don't know who this quota is until it is decided!" Chen Yang also knew himself. Many people in the Educated Youth Academy wanted this quota, and the biggest competitor among them was Liu Lingling.
"It's okay. With Brother Chen's ability, it will definitely be possible." Zhou Ziwen encouraged.
Anyway, he is not interested in the quota, and is just watching the show.
Because of this quota, it is estimated that the Educated Youth Institute will be very busy.
In a few words, several people had already arrived in the room where the new educated youth was.
As soon as they entered the door, they heard a loud conversation.
“Shouldn’t the village arrange separate houses for us? Why let us live in such a poor place? We are young people of the new era and are here to help the villagers. This is how they treat us... ..."
Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang looked at each other with blank expressions on their faces, but what they were thinking in their hearts was, where did this come from? (End of this chapter)
