After staying in the clinic for a while and dealing with a few patients that Zhu Jianguo couldn't handle, Zhou Ziwen took the time to go home.
After carrying the tools for climbing the mountain, he set off from home and rushed towards Niutoushan.
After staying in the mountains for a long time, Zhou Ziwen returned with a full load. Not only did he get a lot of herbs, he also caught a rabbit that ran out of the hole.
In addition, he also harvested a ginseng that was about twenty years old.
Twenty-year-old ginseng is considered relatively old. If you sell it, you can get a lot of money.
Zhou Ziwen is not short of money for the time being, and he has no intention of selling it.
He would rather eat such a good thing than exchange it for money.
By the time he returned home, it was already noon.
Not long after arriving home, the Chen sisters came back from work.
“Brother Ziwen, I heard that another group of educated youths are coming today. Is it true?”
As soon as she got home, Chen Qiaoyi asked excitedly.
"Well, Uncle Wu told me about this in the morning."
Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"Hey, I don't know how many educated youths are going to the countryside this time. If there are still as many as last time, it will be lively in the future."
Chen Qiaoyi doesn't mind watching the excitement. big.
"It shouldn't be much, there were only so many here last time."
Zhou Ziwen guessed.
In fact, Zhou Ziwen’s guess was correct.
In the afternoon, just after lunch, Wu Dagang rushed to the county's Educated Youth Office with his cigarette pole on his back and a sad look on his face.
Because Uncle Yang was still recovering from his injuries and there was no one to drive the bullock cart for him, he had to drive the cart himself.
But he was used to this. Every time he went to pick up educated youths, he would drive the oxcart there by himself.
It has been raining outside for the past two days and the roads are not easy to walk.
Especially in some places, they have turned into mud puddles after being soaked by rainwater.
If you are not careful and the ox cart gets stuck, it will be difficult to get out.
Fortunately, Wu Dagang’s driving skills were good and there were no problems along the way.
However, looking at this bad road strengthened Wu Dagang's determination to build the road.
After this period of arguing, the matter of building the road was finally settled.
Led by the commune, several production teams under the commune jointly contributed money.
It will be time to build a gravel road that connects all production teams.
The so-called gravel road is a road surface made of gravel and cement.
This kind of road is much worse than cement road, and it will break down easily over time.
Especially when large trucks often pass by, it won’t take long.
Fortunately, in some of their villages, there are no big trucks, not even tractors.
However, the cost of gravel roads is not high, and it can even be said to be very cheap.
Building a road to the county seat actually doesn’t cost much.
This is also the fundamental reason why several production teams agreed to build roads.
They are not willing to build the road if it costs too much.
......
More than an hour later, the slowly rolling ox cart finally arrived at the County Educated Youth Office.
After staying at the Educated Youth Office for a while, Wu Dagang completed the formalities and left.
Four men and six women left with him, a total of ten educated youths.
When Wu Dagang saw that there were only ten educated youths going to the countryside, he was happy at first, but then he felt less good.
If these ten are added, there will be more than seventy educated youths in Dabazi Village. According to his estimate, several batches of educated youth will go to the countryside this year. By the end of the year, the number of educated youth may exceed 100.
When he went back, Wu Dagang had a straight face and ignored the educated youths on the oxcart.
Fortunately, the educated youths did not cause trouble. After several days of travel and fatigue, they were exhausted by now.
If they hadn't arrived there yet, they would have wanted to find a place to sleep in the dark.
Staggering along the way, by the time they returned to Dabazi Village, it was already time to finish work.
Members of the production team are carrying farm tools and returning home after work.
Seeing these educated youths, the villagers pointed, talked and laughed, guessing how many days they could last.
Seeing the villagers looking at them like this, the new educated youths were a little embarrassed, especially the female educated youths, who all wanted to bury their heads in their chests.
"Ziwen, come up quickly."
Not long after entering the village, Wu Dagang saw a familiar figure on the ox cart.
"Hey, Uncle Wu is back!"
Zhou Ziwen turned around and heard Wu Dagang's voice. He was not polite and jumped on the bullock cart on the spot.
"Well, I'm back. You are here, so these people will be left to you. You can take them to the Educated Youth Institute. After cleaning up, remember to ask them to come to the village to collect food."
Wu Dagang asked.
"Uncle Wu, did you throw someone to me again?"
Zhou Ziwen stared at Wu Dagang depressedly.
I remember the last time an educated youth went to the countryside, he was also arrested.
"What do you mean by throwing it at you? You are an educated youth, and they are also educated youth. Educated youths should help each other! Just take this opportunity for you to get to know each other."
"Here, let me introduce it to you. , his name is Zhou Ziwen, and he is a role model for you educated youths. I hope you can learn from him in the future, work hard, and contribute to the production team."
Wu Dagang spoke righteously without blushing. After finishing his words, Zhou Ziwen was speechless.
When it comes to being cunning and cunning, it has to be Wu Dagang.
In front of a man like Wu Dagang, Zhou Ziwen still falls a little short.
On the oxcart, when these educated youths who had just returned to the countryside heard Wu Dagang's introduction, they looked at Zhou Ziwen with a different look.
They could tell that Secretary Wu valued this educated youth named Zhou Ziwen very much.
Coupled with Zhou Ziwen's handsome face, the eyes of the girls suddenly changed.
Even the male educated youths looked at him with much more serious eyes.
“Okay, okay, Uncle Wu, stop talking, why don’t I take them there!”
After being lectured by Wu Dagang, Zhou Ziwen hurriedly begged for mercy.
“Haha, that’s right!”
Hearing this, Wu Dagang smiled with satisfaction.
While talking, the Educated Youth Institute also arrived.
When the educated youths got off the bus with their luggage, Wu Dagang left in an ox cart.
"Zhou Qiang, Zhang Wenli, a new educated youth has arrived. Please come out to greet them."
Before Wu Dagang could go far, Zhou Ziwen shouted to the Educated Youth Academy.
You have Zhang Liangji, I have Wall Ladder, and he is not the captain of the educated youth, so there is no problem in helping to greet him. As for helping with the settlement and greeting, that is the matter of the two captains of educated youth, Zhou Qiang and Zhang Wenli. .
After hearing Zhou Qiang's voice from inside, Zhou Ziwen turned around and introduced himself to the new educated youths.
“Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Ziwen, and I am also an educated youth from Dabazi Village. Welcome to this beautiful place. From now on, we will all be comrades of the same production team. If you need any help, you can come to me. ”
"By the way, I'm also the health worker in the village. If anyone feels unwell, you can come to me."
Hearing Zhou Ziwen's introduction, these new educated youths were suddenly surprised.
They also didn’t expect that Zhou Ziwen was actually the village health worker. (End of this chapter)
