It was a gathering at the Youth League Home. It was rare for so many people to get together, and the educated youth were all very happy.
They cooperated with each other in cooking, as if all the past grudges had never happened.
The women wash the vegetables and cook, while the men set up the tables, chairs and benches outside.
There were not enough tables in the Youth League Home, so they borrowed a few from Zhou Ziwen and others.
Six or seven tables were put together, like a buffet.
"Brother Qiang, I took a look at this well and it should be able to produce water."
"As for why there's no water now, it could be due to a shift in the earth's veins, or perhaps the well is blocked. We'll only know the specific problem if we dig down the well."
Zhou Ziwen observed the well in the Youth League Courtyard for a while. From his professional point of view, this well should have both problems.
This well is quite old. Over time, the underground water veins have changed, and the water outlet has been blocked by something, so there is no water.
"How do we dig this well? We don't know how."
Hearing this, Zhou Qiang felt a little embarrassed.
It's okay to let them dig the ground, but digging a well is different from digging the ground.
"That's up to you."
Zhou Ziwen shrugged.
You can ask him to help take a look, but you can't ask him to help dig a well.
He is not a pushover, how could he help you for free?
"Actually, digging a well isn't difficult. It's pretty much the same as working in the fields. You just need to dig in a different spot."
Zhou Ziwen spoke to comfort her.
"Well, okay, I'll give it a try."
Hearing this, Zhou Qiang hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
After all, digging wells was the responsibility of their Youth League Institute and had nothing to do with Zhou Ziwen.
It’s great that they are willing to help take a look.
He also thought about whether he should use some moral blackmail, such as saying that everyone is an educated youth and should help each other, and people should not just care about themselves.
But as soon as this idea came up, he quickly suppressed it.
Zhou Ziwen is not the kind of person who would be morally blackmailed. If he is annoyed, he doesn't need to do much. He just needs to spread the word and express his dissatisfaction with himself as the captain of the male educated youth team.
By then, the village members alone would be able to drown him with spit without the help of anyone else.
He knew very well how prestigious Zhou Ziwen was in the village.
Seeing that Zhou Qiang didn't say much, Zhou Ziwen didn't care.
He came to the familiar old educated youth and chatted with them.
…
There is strength in numbers. With so many educated youth working together, the meal was ready quickly.
Nearly sixty people gathered around a long table made up of several tables, with smiles on everyone's face.
Dozens of dishes were placed on the table, just like a buffet.
"Comrades, it is fate that brings us together. Although life in the countryside is difficult, as long as we are not afraid of difficulties and hardships, everything can be changed."
"Here, we have old educated youth who have been in the countryside for several years, and we also have new educated youth who have just arrived. Whether they are old or new, they are all our comrades."
"If you need any help in the future, you can come to me and Comrade Zhang Wenli. We will definitely help you overcome any difficulties..."
Zhang Qiang picked up his wine glass, stood up and was the first to speak.
After Zhang Qiang finished speaking, Zhang Wenli also stood up and said some encouraging words with a smile.
Of course, while speaking, both of them mentioned the identity of the captain.
As male and female captains of the Youth League, they win everyone's favor while helping other youth.
These good impressions are still very useful to them.
For example, this year's quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University is their goal.
These educated youth are desperate to go back to the city.
The quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University is one of the ways to return to the city.
"Okay, cheers!"
"cheers!"
The next process is very lively.
Especially after drinking some wine, both the new and old educated youths let loose.
One by one, they found each other to drink and chat, and quickly became familiar with each other.
During the familiarization process, Zhou Ziwen also memorized the names of some new educated youth. He believed that after some time, he would be able to remember them all.
Zhou Ziwen is the least afraid of drinking. If someone asks him to drink, he will never refuse, and even drink more and more.
After the meal, most of the educated youth present were drunk by him.
Among them were some female educated youth who drank alcohol.
When he got good at it, Zhou Ziwen also felt a little dizzy.
Although he could use boxing moves to eliminate this feeling, he did not do so.
He felt that this dizzy feeling was good and he enjoyed it very much.
Wouldn't it be less fun if a person couldn't get drunk?
The two sisters also drank a little wine today, not much, just a small amount.
But what they drank was loose liquor with a relatively high alcohol content, and they felt a little dizzy after just a little bit.
Looking at their red faces and dazed eyes, Zhou Ziwen couldn't bear it anymore.
He quickly closed the door, took the two sisters into the house, and gave them a make-up fitness class.
After the two sisters fell into a deep sleep, Zhou Ziwen went to the next room.
After tossing and turning at Shen Zhaodi's house for half the night, Zhou Ziwen waited until she fell asleep exhausted. Then he returned to his own home and hugged his two sisters to sleep.
After a night of tossing and turning, Zhou Ziwen woke up from the kang feeling refreshed the next day.
Because they were quite exhausted yesterday, the two sisters could hardly get up.
After getting up, Zhou Ziwen went to the kitchen and started cooking quickly.
When he finished cooking, the two sisters were still not awake.
Seeing that it was almost time to go to work, Zhou Ziwen woke them up.
"Brother Ziwen, you are so mean. You almost made us late."
While eating, Chen Qiaoyi started to complain.
"I'm drunk!"
Zhou Ziwen smiled awkwardly.
He discovered that being drunk was a good excuse.
"Humph, we don't know how much you can drink? You're just lying to us!"
Chen Qiaoyi rolled her eyes beautifully.
"hey-hey!"
Zhou Ziwen chuckled and did not argue.
After hurriedly finishing breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and his two sisters went to the production team together.
When everyone arrived, the team leader gave a few instructions and then asked the members to follow their team leaders and go to work according to the assigned tasks.
After the meeting, Zhou Ziwen and Wu Dagang went to the mushroom cultivation base together.
"Uncle Wu, do you know anyone who can weld?"
On the way to the mushroom cultivation base, Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Welding? There seems to be someone in Niushan Village who does this. Why are you asking about this?"
Wu Dagang thought for a moment and spoke.
"I dug a well! I'm going to make it a water pressure well, and I want to find someone who can weld and help me with some stuff."
Zhou Ziwen explained.
"You kid, you don't do your work all day long, but do all sorts of weird things."
Wu Dagang glanced at him unhappily. (End of this chapter)
