Chapter 11: Going to Work

Now the Youth League Home has become famous in Dabazi Village.

People from the village came in waves.

Wu Dagang came first, and Zhou Weiguo came later.

Finally, Wang Hongbing and Zhu Youde also came one after another.

The four giants of Dabazi Production Team are all here.

People from the Youth League Home were also pulled out and educated over and over again.

Seeing the miserable state of the educated youth, Zhou Ziwen didn't even want to watch the fun, for fear of being dragged in for a lecture.

But before he could leave, he was discovered by a group of children.

"Hey, weren't you the new educated youth who arrived yesterday? Why don't you go in? Are you afraid of being scolded?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let us get discovered." Zhou Ziwen put his hand to his mouth and signaled to them not to shoot.

In order to bribe them, Zhou Ziwen took out a handful of candy from his bag.

When they saw the sugar, the little guys' eyes lit up instantly.

"Big brother, do you want to give us some candy?" one of the little guys asked in a low voice.

He was so cautious, afraid that if he made too much noise he would not be able to get the candy.

"One for each of you, take them and eat them, but before you eat, you have to tell me your name first." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

"Big brother, my name is Li Tiezhu, and my nickname is Erzhuzi."

"Big brother, my name is Zhang Xiaoya."

"My name is Steel Egg."

…

Hearing this, the little ones all said their names one after another, and the scene was very lively as they rushed to say them.

Zhou Ziwen gave each of them a piece of candy. The little ones instantly treated him as one of their own and told him some gossip.

For example, where are the fish, where can I find crabs, where are the wild fruits to eat...

It's true, the information from the little ones is quite useful. For example, the information about picking grass for pigs is very helpful to the Chen sisters. Although the work points for picking grass for pigs are not many, it is not that tiring.

If they can't bear working in the fields anymore, they can apply to cut grass for pigs.

As for work points, it doesn’t matter if they are few. Her family will send money anyway. At worst, I can use the money to buy food later.

After chatting with the little ones for a while, the party at the Youth League Institute also ended.

Then the team leader Zhou Weiguo came out of the yard with a dark face.

Wu Dagang, Wang Hongbing and Zhu Youde behind him also had serious expressions.

Going home with Wu Dagang, the air pressure was a bit low on the way.

Wu Dagang didn't say anything, and Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters didn't dare to speak either.

Fortunately, after returning home, Wu Dagang told them to go to bed early, and the atmosphere returned to normal.

Because he had to go to work early the next morning, Zhou Ziwen went straight back to his room to sleep.

But before going to bed, he looked at the auto-switch panel.

Although he looks at it many times every day, he still likes to take a look before going to bed.

Bajiquan LV3 (191/300)

Another day passed, and his Bajiquan proficiency increased by another twenty-four points.

In fact, in addition to AFK, practicing boxing on your own will also improve your skill proficiency, but the improvement will not be as fast as AFK.

Plus, he was busy all day and had no time to practice boxing.

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, Zhou Ziwen was awakened by the sound of a gong.

After getting up, I washed my face and rinsed my mouth. Aunt Chen and the Chen sisters were busy cooking.

Seeing that the meal was not ready yet, he did a few rounds of boxing in the yard.

"Xiao Zhou, save your energy. Working in the fields isn't easy. Don't complain later!"

Seeing him practicing boxing, Wu Dagang said with a smile.

"It's okay, Uncle Wu, I have plenty of strength." Zhou Ziwen patted his chest with a confident look on his face.

During this period of time, he has deeply experienced how powerful the third-level Bajiquan is.

Not to mention actual combat ability, at least in terms of physical strength, he is already very strong.

He estimated that even the villagers who often worked in the fields could not compare with him.

"Haha, you'll know whether you're bragging or not when you start working." Wu Dagang said without comment.

In fact, he still believed what Zhou Ziwen said.

Just to prevent him from dying, he pretended to be unconvinced.

Zhou Ziwen had no idea what the other person was thinking, and he probably wouldn't care even if he knew.

After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen carried his backpack and water bottle and set off with the elderly couple Wu Dagang and the Chen sisters.

They have to gather at the threshing ground first, where they will be divided into small teams and then assigned tasks by the team leader.

Things like farm tools can also be picked up there.

Along the way, Zhou Ziwen also met some aunties and grandmas he knew.

They all went to the county town together yesterday.

Even if there are some people I don’t know, I will greet them warmly.

Yesterday, Wu Dagang visited some people's homes to discuss the purchase of adobe bricks and wooden beams.

So, before Zhou Ziwen even left the house, everyone knew that he was going to build a house.

In their eyes, educated youth who can build a house are rich people.

Maybe I can make some money from him, such as selling some firewood, buying some vegetables, etc.

"Zhou Zhiqing, I heard you're building a house! You're smart enough to know not to live with the people in the Zhiqingyuan. Let me tell you, the people in the Zhiqingyuan are all lazy old idiots. Don't hang out with them!"

"Yes, if you have any trouble in the future, come to me and I will scold them to death for you."

"Zhou Zhiqing, do you want some furniture? The furniture our old man makes is really good. If you want a bed, a cabinet, or something, just tell me and I'll have him deliver it to you."

"Okay, okay, if I have any trouble in the future, I will definitely come to you for help."

"Auntie, I definitely need the bed. I'll come to you in a couple of days!"

Faced with the enthusiastic crowd, Zhou Ziwen also responded with a smile. Since he didn't know what to shout, he just called out "Auntie" and "Mrs.". Anyway, if he shouted the wrong name, someone would remind him.

The other educated youth were a little surprised to see this scene. They couldn't understand why he was so popular in the village after only being there for one day.

In fact, Zhou Ziwen didn’t know that those kids also helped him gain some favor yesterday.

After all, children are the treasures of the family. Zhou Ziwen naturally won the favor of adults by giving candy to children.

Here, seeing that most people had arrived, the team leader coughed lightly and began to introduce the new educated youth.

Although they were not introduced one by one, many villagers still turned their attention to the new educated youth.

Especially those beautiful female educated youth are the focus of everyone's observation.

How could those female educated youth bear being watched by so many people?

Their faces were as red as monkeys' butts.

Seeing that the female educated youth were shy, everyone watched more excitedly.

"Haha, you stupid bastards, you're making the little girl shy." An aunt scolded with a smile.

"Girls from the city are just different. You grown men want to keep your eyes glued to them." The aunt next to the aunt also came to join in the fun.

Now the scene became even more lively, and some men even started whistling.
