Chapter 131 Marriage Discussion

By the time he finished writing the letter, the Chen sisters and Shen Zhaodi had already returned to continue their work.

"Yiyi, have you written back? I plan to go to the county town tomorrow to send a letter and buy some things after the Polygonum multiflorum is dried." Zhou Ziwen asked.

He was going to the county town to buy a saw and some stonemasonry tools. His stonemasonry skills were about to reach level three. Once he bought the tools, he could start making the stone jar.

There is also the bathhouse, which needs to be considered. After all, he has never done this before and has no idea at the moment.

"Write the reply in the evening, there's no rush." ​​Chen Shiying answered for her sister.

"Okay, if you've finished writing it, I'll help you send it." Zhou Ziwen said.

"Okay." Chen Shiying nodded.

Next, Zhou Ziwen stayed with the Chen sisters and taught them how to handle the culture medium.

This is a delicate job and they are not very skilled at it, so they need Zhou Ziwen to watch over them.

The Chen sisters worked very hard and were smart, and they figured out how to deal with the culture medium in a short time.

Seeing that they had learned it, Zhou Ziwen became idle, but he did not leave. He had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well chat with the girls.

He thought that he might as well go into the mountains again in the afternoon, firstly to chop some firewood, and secondly to see if he could get some game.

The wolf meat at home has been almost eaten up, with only some bones and ribs left. These will not last for a few days, and the family is about to run out of meat.

Time passed very quickly when Zhou Ziwen was with the two beautiful girls. It only felt like a short while had passed before it was noon.

Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi went home to cook, Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang also went back to their respective homes, only Zhou Ziwen was wandering outside the yard with a teacup, looking like a retired old man.

"Looks like I can go to the bookstore again tomorrow and buy some useful books."

Zhou Ziwen's mind was blank, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.

He is not afraid of having too many skills. After all, it is always beneficial to learn more. When he needs to use them, he can keep them idle so that he doesn't lack the corresponding knowledge when he needs them.

In fact, he has many skills, and some of them are of very high levels, far more than the ones that are shown.

It’s just that many of his skills are completely useless to him now.

For example, computer programming, mechanical design, mobile phone repair, etc. In this era, computers seemed to have not yet been introduced, and even if they had been available, they were not something he could access.

Without computers, these skills are just decoration and have no use.

The Chen sisters worked quickly and prepared lunch in no time.

While eating, Chen Qiaoyi also talked about the letter sent from home.

The sisters come from a well-off family. Their father is a university teacher and their mother is an editor at a newspaper. Although their salary is not high, it is not low either.

Judging from the sisters' living standards, they are also very favored at home. This time when they went to the countryside, they probably brought the family's savings with them.

However, Zhou Ziwen never asked them, he just guessed in his heart.

As an older sister, Chen Shiying also told her family about her younger sister's relationship.

After all, her sister's relationship is a big deal, and as her older sister, she doesn't dare to hide it for her sister.

After receiving this letter, their family began to ask about Zhou Ziwen's situation, such as how many people were in his family and what his personality was like!

After all, they only have two daughters and no sons. Now that their youngest daughter suddenly has a boyfriend, they feel caught off guard.

Fortunately, the two sisters' father was quite reasonable. He did not stop his daughters from getting along with Zhou Ziwen just because he was from Beijing and they were from Hangzhou.

In their hearts, they were only worried that their daughter was too young and inexperienced, and would be deceived by the sweet words of other men.

Although judging from his daughters' letters, Zhou Ziwen doesn't seem like the kind of person who is good at sweet talk, but it's better to be safe than sorry. What if both of his daughters were deceived?

However, their daughter was in the countryside, so no matter how much they worried, it was useless. They could only write letters to remind them to be more observant and not be easily deceived.

Chen Qiaoyi told Zhou Ziwen all these words verbatim at the dinner table, without hiding anything.

Chen Shiying, who was standing by, covered her forehead helplessly. She felt that her father and mother had given them too late, as their little daughter was now trapped.

But there was one thing she felt her parents' worries were unnecessary.

She still approves of her brother-in-law Zhou Ziwen.

She felt that although her sister was a little love-sick, she had really good vision and found such an outstanding man in a daze.

"So, uncle and aunt agree to our marriage?" Zhou Ziwen asked in surprise.

"What do you mean they agreed? They don't even know we are getting married!" Chen Qiaoyi shook her head, but she was very happy in her heart.

Seeing Zhou Ziwen so anxious, it proves that he has her in his heart.

"Then tell them quickly, this matter cannot be delayed." Zhou Ziwen began to urge.

Judging from Chen Qiaoyi's expression, her family did not object to this matter, but just asked her to be cautious.

But in this day and age, if two people are dating and like each other, they will generally get married.

If they are not satisfied, they will usually just contact each other once or twice and will not have any further conversation.

"Well, I'll write a letter and tell them later." Chen Qiaoyi nodded obediently, feeling a little shy but mostly happy.

"That's right. Our marriage should be put on the agenda. When I have time, I will take you to the county town. I can't afford expensive things, but at least you should buy me a watch!" Zhou Ziwen expressed his thoughts.

"Brother Ziwen, I don't want it." Hearing this, Chen Qiaoyi hurriedly shook her head.

"Ziwen, forget about buying a watch. It's too expensive and she doesn't need it." Chen Shiying on the side also spoke up.

"Yiyi, sister, marriage is a lifelong event, how can you be careless about it? Besides, it's just a watch, a little token of my appreciation." Zhou Ziwen began to persuade.

Because they lived in the countryside and had no elders, Zhou Ziwen was not prepared to give any betrothal gifts. After thinking about it, he simply bought Yiyi a watch as a wedding gift.

Just like he said, marriage is a big deal, and Yiyi will be with him for the rest of her life, so he has to buy her a commemorative gift.

Forget about gold rings and gold necklaces; they're hard to get and unnecessary.

He thought the watch was pretty good. Watches of this era were famous for being easy to use and if well preserved, they would last a lifetime.

"Brother Ziwen, as long as you have me in your heart, I don't want anything else." Chen Qiaoyi shook her head stubbornly. She didn't want her brother Ziwen to spend too much money on her.

"Okay, let's talk about this later." Seeing her determination, Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

Although Yiyi disagreed, he had already decided to buy her a watch when he went to the county town, without asking for her consent later.

By then, you’ve already bought it, you can’t return it!
