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

Chapter 342 Returning to Hometown for the New Year

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already three months later.

During this period, Zhao Dongchuan continued to watch TV series and read novels...

The main purpose is to expand my knowledge and prepare for future travel through the heavens.

It was already winter in China at this time, and the city of Shanghai suddenly became colder.

Pedestrians on the street are wearing thick cotton-padded jackets, and electric bicycles are equipped with cotton windshields.

There are also more vehicles on the road.

People wrap themselves up tightly when they go to work.

At this time, Zhao Dongchuan's store was even less popular.

Big clients aren't always available... He's been relatively free since he last sold a jade bracelet to him.

However, he did not care about it and focused on selling products in a Buddhist way.

But the Chinese New Year is just around the corner... Zhao Qingping and Wei Xiaojiao have already started discussing whether to go home for the Chinese New Year this year...

"Our supermarket business should be very good during the Chinese New Year...it would be such a shame if we didn't go home during the Chinese New Year!"

Wei Xiaojiao was sitting on the sofa, watching the classic period drama "Parents' Love" on TV while speaking.

"We left our hometown to work, so we can go back and get together during the New Year holidays... I think we should just go home..."

Zhao Qingping had worked hard for half a year and wanted to take a vacation, but his main reason was that he wanted to go home and show off.

Although we cannot directly say that our family has become rich, we can say that they opened a store.

No one knows whether he bought the store or rented it... Anyway, he has started a business in Shanghai... Naturally, he wants to show off in the village.

Although I can earn a lot of money during the New Year in Shanghai, I naturally feel a little regretful that I can't go back to show off.

"Mom and Dad, I want to take a break too... I want to go back and meet up with my classmates..."

Zhao Tongtong was originally playing on the computer in the room, but somehow she ran out at this moment.

Zhao Qingping and Wei Xiaojiao looked at each other.

"Are you still in touch with your junior high school classmates?"

Zhao Tongtong stopped studying after graduating from junior high school.

Originally, Zhao Qingping wanted to ask someone to help her get into a third-rate high school...

But Zhao Tongtong’s scores were very low, so she needed to spend a lot of money to buy a degree.

She herself also cried out that she didn't want to study anymore, saying that her grades were bad, she was not cut out for it, she didn't want to waste time, and she couldn't afford to get into university anyway, etc.

In the end, I didn't finish my studies...that's why I followed my fellow villagers into a textile factory and started making clothes.

However, due to the sudden rise of Zhao Dongchuan, the family environment has been greatly improved. She is now a shareholder of some kind. The store pays her a salary every month and she also gets dividends at the end of the year.

As the saying goes, if you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it is like walking in fine clothes at night!

Naturally, she also wants to go back and live a free and easy life!

Currently, my younger sister and father Zhao Qingping want to go back, while my mother Wei Xiaojiao wants to stay in Shanghai.

So...in the end the pressure fell on Zhao Dongchuan!

The three of them looked at him at the same time.

"Um... ahem, well... this is what I think..."

Zhao Dongchuan cleared his throat and spoke slowly.

"You can never make enough money... We've been busy all year long, we should take a break... Mom, you see we are not short of money now... There's no need to work so hard..."

When mother Wei Xiaojiao heard what Zhao Dongchuan said, she nodded.

Compared to before, their family has become extremely rich.

In previous years, when I had no money, I would go back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year. This year, now that I have money, I am not going back. It really doesn’t make sense.

"Then let's make it this way. We'll go back to our hometown and have a good New Year this year..."

Zhao Qingping was very happy and said with a smile.

This year, Zhao Dongchuan turned a disaster into a blessing and received a huge sum of money. He bought a store and a car. Good things happened one after another, so he should have a good and auspicious year.

…………

At night, Zhao Dongchuan returned to his bedroom, sat cross-legged, and sank his mind into the sea of ​​consciousness.

I could only see the system interface in the Sea of ​​Knowledge and the Chaos Pearl interacting with each other, emitting a faint white light...

The system progress bar has reached 90 percent... and the Chaos Orb...

Zhao Dongchuan's mind moved, and he saw the internal space of the Chaos Pearl.

I saw that the heaven and earth inside the Chaos Pearl had been separated. In the space of ten miles in radius, there was already a layer of sandy soil on the ground. Although it looked very barren, there was indeed soil...

Zhao Dongchuan also tried to use his mind to move objects from the outside into it, but there was a sense of resistance from the Chaos Pearl... He never succeeded...

Now he couldn't figure out whether this change was good or bad...

"That's it... It won't be long anyway. Once the system is upgraded, we'll know the outcome!"

Zhao Dongchuan muttered to himself, and then continued to practice "Introduction to Qi Refining"...

Although the internal energy he gained from practicing in the other world dissipated with the death of his body, his soul power was greatly improved with each journey through the world...

The specific manifestation is that Zhao Dongchuan's spirit is getting better and better, and his thinking is getting clearer...even not sleeping for a few days is not a big problem!

Moreover, logical reasoning, analytical, perceptual and memory abilities have been significantly enhanced…

Time passes day by day, and there are only a dozen days left until the Chinese New Year.

The Zhao family had already packed their things and were ready to go home.

On this day, the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Dongchuan put all the packed luggage into the trunk, and even put a lot of things under the feet of the back seat.

The supermarket has been temporarily closed and a holiday notice has been posted!

Zhao Dongchuan's antique shop had closed long ago, and all the valuable items were locked in the safe. There were also surveillance cameras and early warning systems in the shop, so if there were any problems, he could call the police immediately.

"Everything is packed... we can go!"

Zhao Dongchuan checked it and said to his parents and younger sister.

"Okay, let's all go!"

Mother Wei Xiaojiao laughed and sat in the back seat, and Zhao Qingping followed her.

Younger sister Zhao Tongtong sat directly in the passenger seat.

As the navigation prompt sounded, Zhao Dongchuan started the car and followed the navigation all the way forward...

After more than seven hours' journey, they returned to the downstairs of their hometown community in the county at around three in the afternoon.

The road conditions were pretty good along the way, and since we arrived ten days in advance, there was basically no traffic jam.

Zhao Dongchuan drove all the way and was still very energetic and did not feel tired at all.

He got out of the car, opened the trunk, and started putting his things down.

Following the actions of everyone, they quickly went upstairs with their luggage.

"Hahaha, I'm finally home!"

Zhao Tongtong was so excited that she burst into laughter as soon as she came back.

Zhao Qingping and Wei Xiaojiao were also very happy.

Although they have been working and living away from home for so many years, their attachment to their hometown makes them always go back home every year when the New Year comes...

When I returned to my hometown, I needed to do a thorough cleaning. Since no one had lived here for a year, the place was already covered with dust.

With the concerted efforts of the whole family, the house soon looked brand new.

Zhao Dongchuan also lay on the sofa in the living room and watched TV...

A classic costumed Jin Yong martial arts drama from Hong Kong TVB is playing on TV...
