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

Chapter 131 Confession, Return Ticket!

Zhao Dongchuan was in a dilemma. Although Zhao Xiaofei had cheated him, he was not the mastermind. He was just coerced and bribed by others.

But the original owner, Zhao Dongchuan, would not have had to suffer this, nor would he have "died" of hunger in Shuangshui Village!

Just because of Li Zhou's coercion, Zhao Xiaofei actually gave in. There were other solutions to this problem, such as telling the parents or reporting to the police. If he was not so afraid of trouble, things would definitely not be the case.

Although he might not have come to this world if the original owner hadn't died, but one thing is for sure, he must help the original owner settle this cause and effect.

But after all, he is his cousin and he can't do anything wrong. If he does too much, it will hurt the family's reputation, so he still needs to consider the approach.

Zhao Dongchuan thought about it, reached into his pocket, took out paper and pen from the space, and handed them to Zhao Xiaofei.

"Write down what happened, the causes and consequences. Mainly write that Li Zhou forced you to tell him my personal information, and then asked the street office to tamper with the number of people going to the countryside. Also, remember to sign..." Zhao Dongchuan stared at Zhao Xiaofei coldly and said.

"This...this..." Zhao Xiaofei took the pen and paper, looking embarrassed.

Watching Zhao Dongchuan take out paper and pen from his pocket, Zhao Xiaofei thought that he had already understood the whole story and had specially prepared the paper and pen.

"Don't worry, I won't use this to report you. This is mainly used to deal with Li Zhou. You are my cousin, I will definitely not cheat you... But if you don't cooperate with me, I will definitely ask my uncle for an explanation! If it goes wrong, I will report it to the police! You don't want to go to the police station, do you?"

"You really won't report me?" Zhao Xiaofei said nervously.

Zhao Dongchuan patted Zhao Xiaofei's shoulder and secretly used some force. Zhao Xiaofei only felt a huge force coming, which made his left arm numb.

I couldn't help but panic. I felt that Zhao Dongchuan was completely different now, like a different person. I hurriedly said, "I'll write it. Isn't it okay for me to write it?"

Then, under Zhao Dongchuan's gaze, Zhao Xiaofei wrote down the whole story in detail and signed his name. He was about to hand it to Zhao Dongchuan, but Zhao Dongchuan unexpectedly took out a box of red ink from his pocket.

"Oh, and I need to press my fingerprints!"

"........."

Oh my god, are you so well prepared? Why is there so much stuff in your pocket?

Zhao Xiaofei was secretly complaining in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word. He could only follow Zhao Dongchuan's instructions, poke the ink with his thumb, and press his handprint on the name.

"Okay, now that you have written the confession, I will not make things difficult for you. From now on, just be an upright person and do your work seriously, and that will be considered as atonement for your sins, and this matter will not happen. But if I hear that you are still the same, then I will hand over this confession, and it is up to you to decide!" Zhao Dongchuan smiled, patted Zhao Xiaofei's shoulder lightly, turned around and walked into the yard with a smile.

Actually, he didn't want to take out the confession letter at all, but with it, Zhao Xiaofei would definitely be obedient. After all, he was his cousin, and there was no point in beating him up. However, he would definitely not let Li Zhou go easily.

Zhao Xiaofei smiled bitterly for a long time, feeling extremely unreal. He was actually taught a lesson by his cousin. Could going to the countryside to work and study really transform people?

If I had known earlier, would I have become more awesome if I had gone there? Zhao Xiaofei's thoughts drifted away, and he didn't know where he was thinking about.

After a moment's pause, Zhao Xiaofei quickly followed Zhao Dongchuan's steps and entered the inner room.

Guo Ping and Zhao Dongchuan walked side by side to the bus stop. Guo Ping looked at Zhao Dongchuan and said, "What happened? Why do I feel like Xiaofei seems to be very afraid of you? What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Dongchuan smiled and said, "Maybe I said a few words to him and he got impatient with me. At noon, I advised him to read more and be a good person, and not to mess around with those bad people outside! Maybe that's why!"

"Hey! You, the cousin, are trying to educate your brother. But what you said does make sense. Why are you hanging out outside at such a young age? If you can't find a job, you can at least help with the housework!" Guo Ping agreed with Zhao Dongchuan's statement.

Soon, the two of them waited for a bus, got on, bought tickets and went home.

Guo Ping's hometown is not in Beijing, but in a rural area in another place. Transportation is inconvenient now, so it is naturally difficult for her to go back. However, she still sent a lot of packages to the countryside as a New Year's greeting.

The days passed in a flash, and Zhao Dongchuan spent the Spring Festival holiday slowly eating salted fish.

These days, Guo Ping was watching at home. Apart from a few people like He Zhu who would come to Zhao Dongchuan to have fun from time to time, no one else came at other times. And basically, he rarely went out and just stayed at home like a otaku.

The main reason is that the weather is cold right now and people are not willing to go out.

Of course, Zhao Dongchuan would occasionally go out for a walk. When he was interested, he would take a branch and write "Zhao Dongchuan visited here in xx year!" in the snow outside the Forbidden City.

He originally wanted to write some prophetic messages on the base of some city walls for future generations to see, but he was afraid of scaring people and causing unnecessary trouble, so he had to give up!

Two days before the Lantern Festival, Zhao Zhengguo accompanied Zhao Dongchuan to the Beijing Railway Station. Under Zhao Zhengguo's surprised gaze, he bought a sleeper ticket back to Huangyuan on February 2.

"How could you buy a sleeper ticket?" After leaving the train station, Zhao Zhengguo could no longer hold back and asked in surprise.

Zhao Dongchuan's heart moved. Oh, it seemed that he had not told his parents yet about his promotion and salary increase?

When he replied to my letter before, he only talked about the publication of his new work. At that time, Huang Yuancheng's award had not come yet, and the promotion report from the Cultural Center had not been approved yet, so he did not write it down.

After coming back, he saw his parents’ happy faces and thought they already knew about it. This was very “wrong” and a bit embarrassing!

"Our unit reclassified me and promoted me before the New Year. Now I'm a cadre at least! I was also issued a writer's certificate for the Huangyuan area, which naturally brings some conveniences!" Zhao Dongchuan scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"You...you really are..." Zhao Zhengguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

This kid was able to keep his composure despite such a big thing, and never mentioned it to his family. He is too careless. There is a complete difference between being mentioned and not being mentioned.

The treatment and reputation are completely different. On the small hand, when I brag to my colleagues in the future, I can pat my chest and say that my family has also produced a cadre.

Zhao Zhengguo is now feeling a little bit happy and distressed!

"No wonder you have so many tickets and money. Now that you are a cadre, your treatment must be different!"

"You didn't take anything you shouldn't have, did you?" Zhao Zhengguo asked with a sudden change of expression.
