The Age of Rebirth: Winning since the educated youth went to the countryside

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziwen quickly waved his hands and said, "Captain, Uncle Wu, I just did what I should do. It's not worth such a big publicity."

The captain smiled and patted Zhou Ziwen on the shoulder, saying, "Ziwen, don't be so modest. Your deeds are a positive energy for the village, and we must let everyone know."

Wu Dagang also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Ziwen. This time you not only prevented the crime, but also helped the Youth League Office to deal with the problem. This is a great contribution to the village. We should let everyone learn from you, learn from your bravery and justice."

Seeing that the two elders were so persistent, Zhou Ziwen no longer refused, but simply said that he would continue to work hard and live up to everyone's expectations.

"Okay, that's settled. I'll make the arrangements right away. We'll formally announce this matter at the village meeting tomorrow morning and read out your certificate of honor," the captain said decisively.

Wu Dagang also added: "We can also take this opportunity to once again emphasize the issue of educated youth management and discipline, and let everyone know that any violation of the law and discipline will be severely punished."

After the two of them agreed, they began to arrange the relevant matters.

Zhou Ziwen returned home with the certificate of honor and the award envelope. Chen Qiaoyi was playing with little Yueyue in the yard.

Seeing Zhou Ziwen coming back, Chen Qiaoyi immediately went up to him and looked curiously at the certificate of honor and envelope in his hand.

"Brother Ziwen, what is this? What are you holding in your hand?" Chen Qiaoyi's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Zhou Ziwen smiled as he handed the certificate of honor and the envelope to Chen Qiaoyi, saying, "This is a commendation from the Youth Office because I prevented a crime a few days ago."

Chen Qiaoyi took the certificate of honor and opened it carefully. Seeing the golden words and bright red seal on it, she smiled proudly: "Brother Ziwen, you are so amazing! This is a great honor!"

Seeing her mother's happy expression, Yueyue came over curiously and stretched out her hand to touch the certificate of honor. Chen Qiaoyi carefully raised the certificate to avoid getting it dirty by Yueyue's hand.

"Brother Ziwen, what's in this envelope?" Chen Qiaoyi asked again, pointing at the envelope.

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "This is the material reward given to me by the Youth League Office. I haven't seen what it is specifically. Let's take a look together."

Chen Qiaoyi nodded and carefully opened the envelope, which contained some money and a note.

The note expressed the Youth League Office's gratitude and encouragement to Zhou Ziwen.

"Brother Ziwen, this is the bonus! It's three dollars."

There was a gleam of surprise in Chen Qiaoyi's eyes.

In this era, three dollars is a lot of money. In this era of relative material scarcity, these three dollars are also a considerable fortune.

Of course, Zhou Ziwen did not value money, but he was very satisfied with the certificate of honor.

In this era, everyone attaches great importance to honor. Zhou Ziwen has received this honor and will be respected by everyone no matter where he goes.

After playing with Yueyue for a while, Zhou Ziwen returned to the house and continued translating materials.

Although the sun was shining outside and the air was filled with the trivial and warm atmosphere of life, Zhou Ziwen sat at the table inside and soon immersed himself in the world of translation materials.

As he continued to translate, time passed quietly, the sunlight moved slowly on the ground, and as the light and shadow changed, it was already evening.

Chen Qiaoyi called him to eat outside the house, and Zhou Ziwen came back to his senses from his concentration. He stretched, stood up and stretched his stiff body.

At the dinner table, Chen Qiaoyi picked up some food for Zhou Ziwen and said with a smile, "Brother Ziwen, everyone is talking about you being honored at the village meeting tomorrow. Everyone is happy for you."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't do this for the sake of recognition. It was just that I couldn't stand by and watch someone get hurt under the circumstances at the time."

Chen Shiying nodded and said, "Yes, Ziwen, you really set a good example for everyone this time. Especially those educated youth, many of them admire you very much and think that you have shown them that they can also do meaningful things in the countryside."

After dinner, Zhou Ziwen helped Chen Qiaoyi clean up the dishes and played with Yueyue for a while.

Little Yueyue has already started to babble, calling out "Dad" and "Mom" incoherently. The childish voice fills Zhou Ziwen's heart with warmth.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, the sun shone over Dabazi Village, and the whole village was filled with an atmosphere of expectation.

The villagers and educated youth arrived at the threshing ground early. They gathered in groups of three or five, talking in low voices.

When Zhou Ziwen appeared in the threshing ground, there was a burst of heated discussion among the crowd.

Zhou Ziwen felt the gazes and discussions of the villagers. He smiled and nodded to everyone. He was used to such gazes.

The captain and Wu Dagang were already standing on the high platform of the threshing ground. When they saw Zhou Ziwen, they waved to him. Zhou Ziwen walked up and stood beside them.

"Everyone, please be quiet. We gather here today to announce something important." The captain's voice spread throughout the threshing ground through the loudspeaker.

The villagers and educated youth gradually quieted down, and all eyes were focused on the platform.

"A few days ago, Comrade Zhou Ziwen from our village showed great courage and sense of justice when facing criminal behavior. He successfully prevented a criminal incident and helped the Youth League Office solve the problem. In order to commend his heroic behavior, the Youth League Office specially awarded him an honorary certificate and material rewards." The team leader announced loudly and showed the certificate of honor to everyone.

There was a burst of warm applause from the crowd, and many educated youth and villagers looked at Zhou Ziwen with admiration.

"Comrade Zhou Ziwen's behavior is an example for all of us to learn from. He not only protected the safety of the villagers, but also won honor for the educated youth group. We hope that everyone can learn from him, be brave to take responsibility, and take positive action." Wu Dagang continued, his voice equally firm and powerful.

Afterwards, the team leader and Wu Dagang emphasized the management and discipline issues of the educated youth, reminding everyone to strictly abide by the laws and regulations and that any violations would be severely punished.

After the meeting, the villagers and educated youth gathered around and surrounded Zhou Ziwen.

An elderly villager stepped forward and said with a big smile: "Ziwen, you are awesome! It is a blessing for our village to have a young person like you!"

"Yes, it would be great if all educated youth were like Ziwen." Someone sighed.
