Chapter 1: Traveling through the Red Era as an Educated Youth
Heijiang, Dabazi Village, Hongqi Commune, Hongtu County, Honghe Region.
A group of educated youth stood at the entrance of the village with complicated expressions.
Some looked numb, some looked nervous, and some were full of hope for the future.
Zhou Ziwen mingled in the crowd, looking around curiously, as if everything here amazed him.
His handsome and unruly face looks particularly cool.
Even though he has been in this world for more than half a month, Zhou Ziwen still feels unreal.
That's right, he is a time traveler who traveled from the 21st century to the 1970s.
My family has both parents who are in good health, two older brothers, two older sisters and a younger sister. It is a big family of eight.
In those difficult times, his living conditions were not bad. Although he didn't have white flour buns, he could still eat some two-grain flour.
It's a bit rough, but it's acceptable.
According to my memory, we would have a snack at home from time to time, and our living conditions were better than most families.
All this is because he has a good father.
His father, Zhou Liming, is a level six fitter at a steel rolling mill. His monthly salary is 77.85 yuan. His salary alone is enough to support the whole family.
His two older brothers and two older sisters also have their own jobs, so besides handing some over to the family, they can save a lot themselves.
As the old saying goes, the emperor loves his eldest son and the people love their youngest son.
Although he is not the youngest in the family, he is the most favored.
From childhood to adulthood, he was always given the first chance to eat good food and wear good clothes.
This also caused the original owner to become spoiled and unlearned.
He is the one who can neither carry anything on his shoulders nor lift anything with his hands.
Being born in such a good family should have been good, but he was a bit unlucky. He just graduated from high school this year and still has no job.
It is now 1973. According to regulations, except for working children, each household can only leave one child at home, and the rest must go to the countryside to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants.
Nowadays, there is a shortage of jobs in cities and towns, and there are no extra positions at all.
He and his sister Zhou Xiaomei both graduated this year. Their father Zhou Liming's hair is almost turning gray due to worrying about their jobs.
Now is not the time when we first went to the countryside. Back then, we not only received subsidies, but also received wages.
At that time, no one knew much about life in the countryside. We went there full of enthusiasm and hope, but after arriving, we realized that life was not so easy...
Now there are no subsidies for going to the countryside. Everyone knows that the countryside is not a good place. Families with the means do not want their children to go to the countryside.
More than half a month ago, Zhou Ziwen had just traveled through time and received a notice from the street office that one of him and his sister Zhou Xiaomei must go to the countryside. Zhou Ziwen volunteered and reported his name despite his family's objections.
After all, the countryside is not a good place, and it is even less a good place for women, especially beautiful women.
As a brother, how could I let my sister go to the countryside to suffer?
What's more, he is not without support. As a time traveler, he also has his own golden finger.
Thinking of the golden finger, Zhou Ziwen's mind moved, and a translucent light curtain appeared in his mind.
This is his golden finger, the hang-up panel, which has only one function, hang-up upgrade.
As long as the existing skills are placed on the idle panel, the idle panel can help the host to upgrade the level.
Every moment, Zhou Ziwen can receive improvement in his skills and gain insights.
This kind of reception is subtle and can be used directly after reception without any negative impact on him.
However, the auto-switch panel can only activate one skill for now, which is a bit regrettable.
For this reason, he could only calculate carefully and hang up a skill that was most helpful to him.
Bajiquan LV3 (167/300)
That’s right, it’s Bajiquan. He has thought carefully about this skill of hanging up.
After all, going to the countryside as an educated youth would inevitably involve physical labor. Given his physical condition, doing farm work would simply be a death sentence for him.
In order to have a strong and healthy body, he thought of practicing boxing.
After some effort, he learned Bajiquan from an old man in the yard.
After half a month, he looked different every day. His previously thin appearance had made him stronger, especially his eight abdominal muscles, which made him love them even more.
With his current physical condition, dealing with three or five people is not a problem.
Of course, this is the case when both sides are unarmed. After all, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife.
His thoughts returned to the present. Zhou Ziwen carried his luggage and followed everyone towards the village.
As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, they were warmly welcomed by the villagers.
After all, there were not many entertainment activities in that era. When they heard that new educated youth had arrived, they all came out to watch the fun.
The older aunties and grandmas began to comment on them.
"Look, this tall educated youth is quite good-looking. I wonder if he has a girlfriend. If not, I'll introduce him to the girl from my cousin's family."
"What's the point of being handsome? Look at him, he's born fair and clean. Don't be a useless person!"
"Yes, yes, you have to take a good look at it. An embroidered pillow won't do. Even if it looks pretty, it can't be eaten!"
In the crowd, Zhou Ziwen felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that these old women would eat the melons on him.
Things like silver-plated gun tips and embroidered pillows are pure slander, okay? He has the real stuff.
The reason why he was sure these people were talking about him was because he was the tallest among the educated youth, 1.8 meters tall, and it was hard for him not to be noticed.
I have to say that the Zhou family has very good genes. To put it in a more literary way, they are handsome, with elegant eyebrows and eyes, and extraordinarily handsome.
"whee!"
At this moment, a little girl's laughter came from behind.
Although the sound was very small, Zhou Ziwen still heard it.
Looking back, I saw that they were sisters Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi.
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi are a pair of beautiful sisters who look exactly the same and most people cannot tell the difference between them.
"Chen Qiaoyi, are you smiling?" Looking at the two sisters' identical faces, Zhou Ziwen couldn't tell which was which if they didn't speak.
He met these two girls on the train. They were sitting opposite him at the time. Later, through conversation, he found out that they all went to the same production team, and they became friends instantly.
After a few days, everyone became familiar friends.
My elder sister Chen Shiying has a rather quiet personality and doesn't like to talk much.
My younger sister Chen Qiaoyi is just the opposite. After getting to know her for a long time, I feel like she has a quirky and elf-like feeling.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Chen Qiaoyi apologized hurriedly, but still had a smile on her face.
"It's okay, just laugh!" Zhou Ziwen waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
But as he spoke, he quietly moved two steps to the side, revealing them.
So, the next moment, those aunts and grandmas turned their attention to them.
