Just as the staff was preparing to take several educated youth away, a middle-aged woman with a serious face came out of the office. Zhou Ziwen had met her once when he first went to the countryside and knew that she was Director Liu from the educated youth office.

Director Liu frowned when he saw the scene in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

The staff member hurried forward and reported the whole story to Director Liu.

After listening to the staff's report, Director Liu's face turned pale. He glanced at the educated youths fiercely and said coldly, "What a disgrace! Your behavior not only damages the image of the educated youths, but also destroys the relationship between the educated youths and the villagers."

Several educated youth were so frightened by Director Liu's gaze that they were silent and dared not even breathe.

Director Liu glared at them, then said to the staff, "This matter has a bad influence and must be dealt with seriously. You should lock them up first and wait for their fate."

Upon hearing this, the staff immediately stepped forward and took the educated youth away.

Zhou Ziwen and Liu Defa both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw several educated youth being taken away.

"Director Liu, the person has been taken away. If there is nothing else, we will go back first."

Zhou Ziwen looked at Director Liu and said politely.

Upon hearing this, Director Liu turned to look at Zhou Ziwen and Liu Defa, a smile on his face, and said, "Thanks to you today, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened. On behalf of the Youth League Office, I thank you."

Zhou Ziwen and Liu Defa quickly waved their hands, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.

"Hey, comrade, you are also an educated youth, right? Which village are you from?" Director Liu looked at Zhou Ziwen and suddenly asked.

"Oh, yes, my name is Zhou Ziwen, and I'm an educated youth from the Dabazi Production Team." Zhou Ziwen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then answered.

He didn't expect that Director Liu actually knew that he was an educated youth.

Of course, Zhou Ziwen was not surprised by this. After all, his clothes and temperament were too outstanding, so it was normal for his identity to be guessed.

Director Liu nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "I was thinking you sounded familiar, so you are Zhou Ziwen from Dabazi Village. Your name is well known among the educated youth team. I heard that you have done a lot of practical things in the village, running the chicken farm and mushroom cultivation base very well. You can also repair tractors and manufacture crushers. You are quite capable!"

Zhou Ziwen smiled modestly: "Director Liu, you are too kind. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I am just doing my part."

Director Liu shook his head slightly, with a bit of emotion in his tone: "Don't be so modest. Nowadays, many educated youth go to the countryside and cannot adapt to rural life. It is rare to find someone like you who can actively integrate and make such a great contribution to the development of the village. You are setting an example for the educated youth!"

Director Liu looked at Zhou Ziwen, and the smile on her face became more obvious. She continued, "Ziwen, you have not only made achievements in the village, but you also caught these educated youth who violated laws and discipline today. It can be said that you have made great contributions. Our educated youth office must give you a reward as an encouragement."

Zhou Ziwen heard this and quickly waved his hand and said, "Director Liu, you are too polite. These are what I should do, and I don't need any reward."

Director Liu insisted, "That won't do. Your deeds must be praised. Let's put it this way. Our Youth Office will report your deeds to the commune and give you a certain amount of material rewards. At the same time, we will also publicize your advanced deeds among the educated youth and encourage more educated youth to learn from you."

Seeing that Director Liu was so determined, Zhou Ziwen knew that it would be pretentious to refuse again, so he accepted Director Liu's kindness and expressed his gratitude.

After arranging the reward for Zhou Ziwen, Director Liu turned to Liu Defa and his expression became somewhat apologetic.

"Mr. Liu, I'm really sorry for scaring you today." Director Liu said sincerely, "These educated youths were supposed to come to the countryside to study and train, but they behaved like this. We, the Educated Youth Office, are responsible."

Liu Defa waved his hand to show that he didn't mind: "Director Liu, you don't have to blame yourself. This kind of thing is an individual case. I believe that most educated youth are still good. What happened today was just an accident, and I was not seriously hurt."

Upon hearing this, Director Liu sighed and said, "Even though you said that, this incident still has a great impact on us."

"Our Youth Office must strengthen the management and education of the educated youth to prevent such things from happening again."

She turned to look at Zhou Ziwen and said firmly: "Ziwen, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely arrange for more educated youth to come to your village to study and let them see what the true educated youth spirit is!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziwen immediately expressed his opinion: "Director Liu, our Dabazi Village welcomes other educated youth to come and exchange and learn at any time. We will definitely do our best to provide help."

Director Liu nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the two of them, "Okay, that's it for today. You guys go back first, and I'll arrange the rewards as soon as possible."

After hearing this, the two said goodbye to Director Liu and left the Youth League Office.

Looking at the departing backs of Zhou Ziwen and Liu Defa, the smile on Director Liu's face gradually faded, and his eyes revealed a bit of solemnity.

"It seems that our Youth League Office still has a long way to go." Director Liu whispered to himself, then turned and walked towards the office to prepare to deal with the next matters.

Coming out of the Youth Office, Liu Defa thanked Zhou Ziwen: "Comrade Zhou, thank you so much today. If you hadn't shown up in time, I would have been in trouble."

"Uncle Liu, you are too polite. This is what I should do." Zhou Ziwen responded with a smile. The two talked as they walked, and soon it was time to part.

"Comrade Zhou, thank you very much today. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to come to me." Liu Defa said gratefully and left his contact information.

Zhou Ziwen took the contact information and said seriously: "Uncle Liu, you are too polite. You are an engineer in the machinery factory. If our village encounters any problems with machinery in the future, we may have to ask you for advice."

Liu Defa smiled and waved his hands: "It's not about asking for advice, it's about exchanging ideas and learning from each other. You are a very capable young man, and you will definitely achieve great things in the future."

After parting with Liu Defa, Zhou Ziwen went to the bookstore.

Today he came to the county town to buy books, planning to buy a few books on mechanics to read back home.

When checking out, the bookstore manager saw the English books Zhou Ziwen had chosen and asked in surprise, "Comrade, do you know foreign languages?"

Zhou Ziwen nodded and responded, "Yes, I have learned a little. I mainly want to see if there are any new technologies in foreign mechanical manufacturing."

Upon hearing this, the person in charge showed a surprised expression on his face.
