Okay, okay!

Zhao Dongchuan glanced at the time on his watch.

Hmm, it really was an instant transmission!

The watch still showed the same time, there was no delay; although it wasn't his first long-distance transmission, Zhao Dongchuan still felt incredibly shocked.

This truly was a treasure!!!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but check the rows of items in his system space again.

In the system's inventory, those "treasures" sparkled brightly!

At the same time, he also checked the system attribute panel, which he hadn't paid attention to in a long time.

Because this world was very peaceful, like aNovice Village (newbie village) for him, he naturally hadn't paid much attention to his personal attributes.

Plus, this system seemed to be dead.

Even after he collected all the iron pieces, he didn't receive the long-awaited system notification sound.

This damn system really disappointed him!

[Host: Zhao Dongchuan]

[Age: 19+]

[Gender: Male]

[Race: Human]

[Constitution: 3, Intelligence: 1.7, Agility: 3, Strength: 3, Free Attribute Points: 0]

Constitution, Agility, and Strength had all unconsciously risen to 3, but the change in Intelligence was not obvious.

It seemed that improving Intelligence was very difficult.

He had already finished all the system rice, with only a little bit left as a red potion, planning to use it to save his life at a critical moment.

If there had been more, he would have given some to Guo Ping to eat when he returned to Jingcheng for the New Year last time, to improve her constitution.

Guo Ping's condition had significantly improved compared to before, slowly recuperating by eating ginseng, so there was no rush, and he didn't take it out.

"System, give me a mission, I'll do it well!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but pray internally.

After waiting for a while and seeing that the system still had no reaction, he shook his head, no longer childishly hoping for the system's mercy.

..........

After returning to Huangyuan, Zhao Dongchuan continued to immerse himself in his work at the Cultural Center; although he had already been promoted to Deputy Section Chief, it was only a nominal position, and the work that needed to be done still had to be done.

Although he now wished he could immediately rush to Shuangshui Village and find the marked spot on the map, he had just taken leave, so it was not convenient for him to ask for leave again.

He could only stably clock in for a period of time first.

Just like that, time flew by, and soon it was late July.

As the end of the month approached, he began to feel uneasy, worried that the broadcasted bad news would appear.

Fortunately, until the evening of the 28th, there was no news of an earthquake on the radio.

Only on the People's Daily the next day was a news report published about the earthquake.

Zhao Dongchuan carefully read the entire report, revealing a brilliant smile.

"Hehe!!!"

If this were in the Primordial World, at least several tons of merit would descend upon him.

This was the biggest ripple he had caused since coming to this world.

He had changed the fate and trajectory of countless people.

As for whether it would change the fate of China, he was not sure.

"Do good deeds, don't ask about the future! Just seek peace of mind!!!"

Time quickly moved into August, and after a period of stability, Zhao Dongchuan once again requested leave.

Naturally, it was under the guise of collecting material for creation.

The location was Shuangshui Village!

It was the same trick, used once already; this time, no matter what, he had to produce a work, otherwise, his frequent leaves without a work to show for it would be unjustifiable.

He was already secretly contemplating which novel would be suitable.

..........

This day, early in the morning, after greeting the Cultural Center staff, Zhao Dongchuan prepared to set off for Shuangshui Village.

Returning to his own courtyard, Zhao Dongchuan tidied up simply, then rode his bicycle to the Huangyuan Bus Station.

After buying his ticket and tying his bicycle to the back of the bus with a rope, he got on the bus and waited.

He arrived relatively early, and the bus wasn't full yet; Zhao Dongchuan managed to grab a seat, but since it wasn't full, he estimated it would take at least another hour before the bus departed, so he sat on the bus and feigned sleep.

Listening to the noisy sounds around him, the bus became more and more crowded; at this time, there was no concept of overloading, as long as there was space for people to stand, it would be packed; there was no other way, with few vehicles and many people, this was the current situation.

Fortunately, because the social atmosphere was better at this time, there were no petty thefts; in a few more years, that would be hard to say, let alone petty thefts, there would even be carjackers.

After a period of waiting, the bus was full, and urged by the passengers, the bus slowly started, swaying towards Yuanxi County...

Yuanxi County, Shuangshui Village!

"Ding-a-ling!"

A ringtone sounded.

The August weather was very hot, with the scorching sun overhead; Zhao Dongchuan rode his bicycle through the mountains and ravines, arriving at Shuangshui Village.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao is back!"

"Teacher Zhao, you're back!"

"Little Zhao, you haven't been back for a long time!"

"Brother Zhao!"

"..."

It was noon, time for the villagers to finish work; the members of the village's production team were returning home in small groups, and seeing Zhao Dongchuan, dressed in a Dacron white shirt, riding his bicycle quickly towards them, they all stopped and greeted him.

Zhao Dongchuan also responded warmly to each of them.

By the time he rode his bicycle back to his own cave dwelling, the news of his return to the village had already spread throughout Shuangshui Village.

Everyone paid close attention to him, this "capable person" who had emerged from Shuangshui Village.

It was not an exaggeration to say he was a prominent figure in the village.

Even if the villagers didn't know about his published articles, just knowing that he was working for the government in Huangyuan City was enough.

Returning to his own cave dwelling, Zhao Dongchuan opened the courtyard gate and found that quite a few weeds had grown in the courtyard.

Stepping over the green grass, Zhao Dongchuan opened the inner room, which was also full of dust.

Except for the cabinets and the bed, which were covered with a layer of cloth, other places were covered with a thick layer of dust.

"Sigh, another day of big cleaning!!!" Zhao Dongchuan smiled helplessly.

At this moment, Sun Shaoan, having heard the news, had already arrived outside the courtyard, calling his name.

"Little Zhao!"

"Little Zhao!"

"Hey, Brother Shaoan, you're here!" Zhao Dongchuan was holding a hoe and turning over the ground in the courtyard; seeing him arrive, he straightened up and greeted him.

"Oh, Little Zhao, long time no see; how come you look fairer and more handsome!" Sun Shaoan looked at the fair and clean Zhao Dongchuan, dressed in a white shirt, with a surprised expression.

"These scholars are just different; staying in the city makes you fairer and fairer..."

"Hahahaha, Brother Shaoan, your wheat-colored skin is what's healthy!" Zhao Dongchuan replied with a laugh.

"Come to our house for lunch, okay?" Sun Shaoan said.

"No need, I'll just make something simple at home!"

"How can that be? You just got back and haven't even started a fire yet; what's wrong with having a meal at our house...? My dad gave a strict order that you must come to our house for lunch..."
