The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Chapter 142 Reminder to Wu Huiliang, on a business trip!

"It's okay. I'm not the daughter of a capitalist family. I'm not used to a rough life. Many women in our village still work in the fields even with big bellies. What I have is nothing. I'm already enjoying a good life!" Shufen said with a smile, touching her big belly.

Zhao Dongchuan was busy at the stove in the inner room. Since he was treating the guests today, naturally he was the one cooking. Du Lili and Wu Huiliang wanted to help, but he blocked them. It didn't make sense for the guests to help him cook.

Zhao Dongchuan has cooking skills. Although the cooking skills revealed by the system treasure chest are only elementary, making some home-cooked meals is a piece of cake for him.

As Zhao Dongchuan brought a plate of pork belly to the table, the dishes were finally ready. For five people, he made eight dishes, three meat dishes, three vegetable dishes, an egg drop soup, and a cold dish.

Then he took out a bottle of "Xifeng Liquor" from the cabinet on the kang, and the wine and food were ready!

The five people took off their shoes, got on the kang, and sat around the small dining table. Everyone smelled the aroma of the food on the table and felt the warmth of the kang underneath, and their appetites were whetted.

"I'll take advantage of my seniority and raise a glass first to celebrate our teacher Zhao's new home!" Jia Bing held up a glass of wine and said with a smile.

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate!

"Teacher Jia, what are you saying? I am still that Xiao Zhao in front of you!" Zhao Dongchuan smiled and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"As for the second cup, let me drink it. I wish our teacher Jia and sister-in-law Shufen will give birth to a big fat boy next month!" Zhao Dongchuan filled everyone's glasses and raised a glass as well.

In the original book, Teacher Jia has three sons, but how old they are or who takes care of them is not mentioned, it is just briefly mentioned.

Du Lili and Wu Huiliang also sent their blessings.

After everyone had eaten a few bites of the food, Zhao Dongchuan said to Du Lili and Wu Huiliang, "I would also like to wish Sister Lili and Brother Huiliang a long and happy marriage in advance!"

"........."

Amidst laughter and joy, everyone was very happy as they had this simple meal in the new house.

As they had to go back home in the evening, Zhao Dongchuan didn't dare let Jia Bing drink too much. He himself was very clear about his alcohol tolerance, so he only had a small taste.

By the time the banquet was over, it was already dark. However, there were street lights in Huangyuan City, and although there were not many, it was still possible to see clearly.

"Teacher Jia, Sister Shufen, please be careful on the road!"

Zhao Dongchuan waved his hand and watched Jia Bing riding a bicycle with Sister Shufen slowly disappear in the orange light.

"Brother Huiliang, Sister Lili, you can ride my bike. It's not convenient to walk at night! There's already enough space!"

Since Wu Huiliang's father brought the bicycle here, they had no bicycles to go back home at night.

After hearing what Zhao Dongchuan said, Wu Huiliang did not act pretentiously and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, thank you for your help! I'll have Lily ride it to the Cultural Center and return it to you tomorrow!"

Zhao Dongchuan led Wu Huiliang to the corner of the courtyard where the bicycles were parked, and said with a smile: "I heard from Teacher Jia that Sister Lili's poems are getting better and better. Brother Huiliang can also learn from her. When the time comes, you can recite poems together and write couplets, it will definitely become a good story!"

Wu Huiliang looked at Zhao Dongchuan in surprise, not quite understanding why he suddenly brought up this.

How could he know that this was Zhao Dongchuan's good intention and he was deliberately giving him a reminder.

In the original novel, Du Lili was so moved by the poetic words of Gu Fengling that she was willing to devote herself to him after being deceived. They lingered for many days. Even after being discovered by her husband Wu Huiliang in the hotel, she refused to repent and felt that she had found her soul mate.

In fact, she was just one of Gu Fengling’s “fuck buddies” in Huangyuan City, and she just patted her butt and left.

Because of this incident, Wu Huiliang was tortured beyond recognition, lost interest in work, and was almost disabled. The two eventually divorced, but Du Lili still stubbornly maintained contact with Gu Fengling in the end.

When Zhao Dongchuan watched this part of the plot, he felt very sorry for Wu Huiliang. What a good man he was, young and promising, handsome, with a good family background and good character. He was a typical tall, rich and handsome good man, how could he be ruined like this by such a shameless person.

Now it seems that the main reason is that Wu Huiliang is a little weak in character. If he had been a little tougher and used his connections to deal with them, Du Lili and Gu Fengling, the adulterous couple, would have been disgraced long ago.

No matter what era it is, if a poet destroys someone's family or a woman becomes a mistress, such a scandal cannot be forgiven by just a few nice words, especially in the 70s when people were more traditional in their thinking.

Of course, Zhao Dongchuan didn't want to get too involved in such family affairs, so he just gave Wu Huiliang some pointers intentionally or unintentionally, hoping that he could realize some potential problems.

He believed that with Wu Huiliang's intelligence, as long as he realized this problem, he would definitely take some measures to slowly change things.

After all, he later became a high-ranking official, which shows that his talents are worthy of recognition and he is not a stupid person.

Zhao Dongchuan didn't care about the others, he was not their babysitter.

After waving goodbye to Du Lili and Wu Huiliang, Zhao Dongchuan returned to the yard and cleaned up the dishes...

The next afternoon, Zhao Dongchuan went to work at the cultural center as usual in the morning and took his bicycle from Du Lili.

"Thank you, Xiao Zhao!" Du Lili said to Zhao Dongchuan with a smile, with a hint of inexplicable color in her eyes.

"Sister Lili, you are too polite. Brother Huiliang already thanked me yesterday. It's no big deal!"

"He is he, and I am me!"

"Hahaha, you are getting married soon, and then you will be a family... Why are you talking nonsense, brother Huiliang, you are young and promising, and you have good character. I wonder how many girls and young wives envy you!" Zhao Dongchuan laughed and said meaningfully.

"I'm off work now. I have to catch a train!"

"Xiao Zhao, I heard it's quite chaotic over there, be careful!"

When they were drinking yesterday, Zhao Dongchuan told Du Lili that he was going on a business trip to Pengcheng, and Du Lili also learned some things about Pengcheng from her father.

Zhao Dongchuan pushed his bicycle, waved his hand with a smile, and walked away without saying anything.

Only Du Lili was left standing there feeling lost. She thought of what Zhao Dongchuan had just said... and stood there in a daze for a long time!

…………

Zhao Dongchuan, carrying a backpack, followed the crowd and got on the train. After less than half a year, he once again boarded a train to Pengcheng.

After finding his own bed, Zhao Dongchuan put his bag on the bedside, then sat on the bed, took out a book from the bag and started reading. At this time, he didn't have a mobile phone and couldn't use Tik Tok, so he could only read.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!" As the train whistle sounded and the rumbling sound of wheels was heard, the train moved slowly and the scenery outside the window passed by my eyes slowly and quickly.

…………

"We've arrived! We've arrived! Passengers getting off the train, please pay attention to your luggage!" As the train arrived at the station, the attendant picked up a simple loudspeaker with one end big and the other small and shouted to everyone!
