After staying on the train for a few days, the two sisters and Shen Zhaodi were very tired.
Only Zhou Ziwen was in good physical condition and looked like nothing had happened.
After dinner, they went to the bedroom to rest.
Zhou Ziwen chatted with Zhou's father and mother in the living room for a while. Considering that Zhou's father and second sister had to go to work tomorrow, they didn't chat for long.
There is a long way to go. Anyway, he is back now and there will be plenty of time to chat in the future.
On the photo album, those photos record the family’s past, and each one carries a precious memory.
He recalled his experiences when he first traveled to this era and became an educated youth sent to the countryside.
During the difficult years in Dabazi Village, he relied on the hanging panel to continuously improve his skills, from the initial Bajiquan to cope with rural labor, to the later comprehensive development in various fields, every step was full of challenges and persistence.
In this era of material scarcity, he led the villagers to work hard to improve their lives.
The mushroom cultivation base has grown from nothing to a large one; the optimization of the pig farm and chicken farm has also brought more income to the village.
His efforts not only changed his own destiny, but also affected the development of the entire village.
Now, he has returned to the city after passing the college entrance examination, full of longing and determination for the future, ready to start a new chapter in his life.
It was late at night. Zhou Ziwen stood up and walked quietly into the bedroom.
He saw Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying sleeping soundly, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
He lay beside them, closed his eyes, his heart filled with anticipation for the future.
The next morning, sunlight shone through the window onto Zhou Ziwen's face, and he slowly opened his eyes.
He got up quietly, walked out of the bedroom, and saw that Zhou Ma was already preparing breakfast.
"Ziwen, get up. What do you want to eat today?" Zhou Ma asked with a smile.
"Mom, just do something casual." Zhou Ziwen replied.
After breakfast, Dad Zhou, my second sister and my younger sister went to work.
Zhou Ziwen stayed at home, resting with his two sisters, Shen Zhaodi, Tang Yaoyao and others.
They are all exhausted these days and need a good rest to recover.
When the college entrance examination was resumed this time, many educated youth returned to the city. Because of them, the city became lively for a while.
It is already December, which is also the coldest time in the city.
Everyone stayed in the house, sitting around the warm fireplace, warming themselves by the fire and talking about their future plans.
Zhou Ziwen looked at Chen Qiaoyi, Chen Shiying, Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao beside him, his heart full of emotion.
"Although the winter in this city is cold, it feels much safer than when I was in Damazi Village." Shen Zhaodi said, rubbing her hands.
In Dabazi Village, they have to think about going to work every day.
Although they have less pressure in life because of Zhou Ziwen, they still have to work.
Now that I'm back in the city, I feel naturally relaxed.
"Yes, but the days in the village are also unforgettable." Chen Qiaoyi responded with a smile, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.
"Indeed, although those days were difficult, they were also the time when we grew the fastest." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
In the past few years in Dabazi Village, his improvement has been tremendous.
Up to now, most of his skills have reached the maximum level, and only some major skills that require high proficiency have not reached the maximum level.
But after a few years of idle play, the level is high enough.
His skills are quite outstanding in the city.
Take his medical skills for example. When he was in Dabazi Village, he used his constantly improving medical skills to treat many villagers and educated youth. From common headaches and fevers to some more difficult diseases, he could handle them with ease.
Now back in the city, he realizes this is also an area where he can play to his strengths.
There are also skills like mechanical manufacturing and architecture that are more useful in the city.
With the money he earned from selling ginseng, he could start his own business after graduating from university.
That was the starting point for his career to take off.
In the next few days, Zhou Ziwen took the two sisters and the children to accompany Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao to play in Sijiu City.
They shuttled through the ancient alleys, feeling the city's profound historical heritage.
The winter sun shines on the mottled walls, as if telling the story of the years.
The children ran around the alleys like cheerful little birds, full of curiosity about everything. Little Yueyue pointed to an old gate and asked in a baby voice, "Dad, what door is this?" Zhou Ziwen smiled and replied, "This is the door of an old Beijing home. Every door has a different story behind it."
They came to the Palace Museum, and were amazed by the magnificent palace complex.
The red walls and yellow tiles are magnificent and look even more solemn against the backdrop of white snow.
Zhou Ziwen told everyone the history of the Forbidden City, from its construction in the Ming Dynasty to the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty. Every story was fascinating.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying listened intently, while Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao also exclaimed in amazement from time to time.
Walking along the corridor of the Summer Palace, you will be dazzled by the exquisite murals.
Despite the cold weather, the ice on the lake adds a unique scenery to this royal garden.
Everyone walked carefully on the ice, and laughter echoed in the air.
After a day of fun, everyone sat around the dining table and shared their experiences of the day.
"I have such a great time today. There are so many fun places in the city." Tang Yaoyao said excitedly.
"Yes, when I was in the village before, I never thought I would have such an opportunity." Shen Zhaodi said with emotion.
Zhou Ziwen smiled and said: "We will have more opportunities to hang out together in the future."
Chen Qiaoyi looked at Zhou Ziwen with love in her eyes: "Brother Ziwen, with you around, our lives will definitely get better and better."
In the following days, they also went to the Badaling Great Wall.
Standing on the Great Wall and looking into the distance, the rolling mountains covered in snow look like dancing silver snakes.
The biting cold wind whistled past, but everyone's hearts were filled with passion.
"If you haven't been to the Great Wall, you are not a hero. Today we are all heroes!" Zhou Chaoyang shouted loudly.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the streets and alleys of the city are filled with a strong festive atmosphere.
Red lanterns are hung high, and people are busy purchasing New Year's goods, preparing to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
Zhou Ziwen led everyone to participate in the preparation of New Year's goods and feel the atmosphere of the traditional festival.
They went to the market to pick out Spring Festival couplets and Chinese characters for good fortune, and sampled various traditional delicacies. The children were fascinated by the sugar figurines and candied haws, while the adults selected ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner.
"We need to prepare well for this year's New Year's Eve dinner together and have a lively New Year," said Zhou Ziwen.
Everyone worked together in preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying were in charge of cooking the sumptuous dishes, while Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao assisted. Zhou Ziwen led the children in decorating the rooms, pasting Spring Festival couplets and hanging blessing characters. (End of this chapter)
