After rushing for a long time, Zhou Ziwen finally arrived at the county town.

It was also because he couldn't ride a bike on this day, otherwise he would have arrived long ago.

After arriving in the county town, Zhou Ziwen went straight to the bookstore.

Although the weather is very cold now and everyone is staying at home for the winter, bookstores still have to be open.

Look, when Zhou Ziwen arrived at the bookstore, although the door was mostly closed, the lights inside were still on.

"Hey, Ziwen, you're back!"

As soon as he entered the door, Li Guangwen, who was warming himself by the fire in the bookstore, felt the cold air coming in.

When I looked up, I saw Zhou Ziwen who had just walked in.

"Well, I came back the day before yesterday. I wanted to come and wish Uncle Li a happy new year!" Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

"Hey, it's so cold, why are you here to wish us a happy new year? But you've come just in time, I have a backlog of information here, you can take it back and translate it later!"

Li Guangwen poured Zhou Ziwen a cup of hot water.

"Okay." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

Since I'm free anyway, I might as well translate some information and earn some extra money.

I have to say that being a translator really makes money in this era.

Since taking on the translation job, Zhou Ziwen has earned several hundred yuan.

Because the weather was too cold and there were not many people in the bookstore, Zhou Ziwen and Li Guangwen chatted inside.

Zhou Ziwen is knowledgeable and has so many skills that he can handle any topic.

Li Guangwen is not bad either. He has been running a bookstore for many years and can be said to be knowledgeable.

Although not as good as Zhou Ziwen, he is still better than the average person.

In addition, the two of them have similar personalities and can chat about anything under the sun.

After this chat, it was soon lunch time.

Usually Li Guangwen brings his own lunch and eats it after heating it up in the bookstore.

But today Zhou Ziwen came and he insisted on treating him, and Zhou Ziwen couldn't refuse.

So the two of them packed up and went to a nearby state-owned restaurant.

As the host, Li Guangwen will of course treat everyone today.

He didn't give Zhou Ziwen a chance to refuse.

As soon as I walked in, I ran over to order food.

Zhou Ziwen didn't care about this. Given their relationship, it didn't matter who paid for the meal.

There weren't many people in the state-owned restaurant. After all, it was so cold and everyone preferred to stay at home.

Li Guangwen ordered several of the restaurant's signature dishes, including braised pork, stir-fried pork slices, and a dish of cabbage stewed with vermicelli, and asked for two bottles of soda.

After a while, the dishes were served one after another, steaming hot, instantly warming up the entire private room.

Li Guangwen smiled and beckoned Zhou Ziwen to pick up his chopsticks: "Ziwen, come and try it. The chef of this state-owned restaurant is quite skilled. Although not as good as those big restaurants, it is still top-notch in our small county."

Zhou Ziwen was not polite and picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. The soft, glutinous and sweet taste spread in his mouth at once. He nodded and praised:

"Mm, Uncle Li, this tastes really authentic, rich but not greasy, with just the right amount of salty and sweet, it's delicious."

Li Guangwen was happy to see that Zhou Ziwen was satisfied with his meal. The two continued chatting while eating, and the topic shifted from the latest news in the county town to the development and changes in the village.

After the meal, I felt satisfied and happy.

After finishing their meal, the two left the state-owned restaurant. The cold wind outside made their bodies, which had just finished their meal, shiver.

"Uncle Li, it's still cold today. I have to hurry back to the village, otherwise the road will be even more difficult to walk on if it's too late." Zhou Ziwen said as he wrapped his clothes around himself.

"Okay, then be careful on the road. I will pack the information for you later. Just remember to finish translating it as soon as possible when you take it back. Don't tire yourself out too much." Li Guangwen reminded.

The two returned to the bookstore. Li Guangwen took out the materials that had been sorted out long ago, carefully packed them in a cloth bag, and handed it to Zhou Ziwen.

Zhou Ziwen took the bag, exchanged a few words with Li Guangwen, and then set off on the road back to the village.

The road back to the village seemed even longer because of the cold weather. Zhou Ziwen tightened the scarf around his neck and quickened his pace.

By the time we reached the village, the sun had already begun to set in the west. The afterglow shone on the roofs and ridges of the village, giving the entire village a light golden hue.

Smoke has started to come out of the chimneys in the village, which means that each household has started to prepare dinner.

Zhou Ziwen looked at the familiar scene, his heart filled with warmth. He thought that today's trip to the county town was quite interesting. Not only did he pay New Year's greetings, but he also took on some work. This day was quite fulfilling. Then he walked quickly towards his home.

When he returned home, little Yueyue was running around the house.

It's so cute that it sways from side to side when it walks.

There were several stoves burning in the house at this time, and a warm breath was blowing in the air.

As soon as she entered the door, Yueyue spotted Zhou Ziwen. The little girl rushed towards him while calling "Dad".

Zhou Ziwen quickly squatted down, opened his arms and caught Yueyue steadily.

He picked up Yueyue and kissed her rosy little face. He smiled and asked, "Did you behave well today, Yueyue? Did you miss your daddy?"

Little Yueyue replied in a baby voice: "Be good, I miss daddy."

Zhou Ziwen's heart was filled with joy as he carried little Yueyue into the house.

Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying were busy in the kitchen, preparing dinner.

Hearing the noise, the two of them poked their heads out of the kitchen.

Seeing Zhou Ziwen coming back, Chen Qiaoyi smiled and said, "Brother Ziwen, you're back. How are you today?"

Zhou Ziwen smiled and replied, "It was good. I met Uncle Li and brought back some translation materials."

As he spoke, he placed the cloth bag in his hand on the table beside him.

Chen Shiying came over, took Zhou Ziwen's scarf and coat, hung them on the hanger beside him, and said, "It's cold outside. Come sit by the stove and warm up."

Zhou Ziwen held little Yueyue and sat by the stove, feeling the warmth of the fire.

Little Yueyue twisted her body in his arms, pointed at the soup simmering on the stove, and said, "Daddy, have some soup."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "Okay, let's drink together later."

At this time, Zhao Xiaoya also came out from the inner room, saw Zhou Ziwen, and nodded slightly.

Zhou Ziwen smiled at her and said, "Xiaoya, you've worked hard during this period. The family is very well cared for by you."

Zhao Xiaoya said softly: "Brother Ziwen, this is what I should do."

Dinner was ready soon and the table was filled with sumptuous dishes.

In addition to the soup stewing on the stove, there are also fragrant stir-fried dishes and steaming steamed buns.

The family sat around the table and started eating.

Little Yueyue sat in the children's dining chair, holding the spoon and eating with relish.

Zhou Ziwen looked at the cute little Yueyue and his heart was filled with happiness.

After the meal, the women cleared the dishes while Zhou Ziwen sat aside, looking through the translation materials given to him by Li Guangwen.

These materials cover a wide range of content, some are about agricultural technology, and some are about industrial production.

Zhou Ziwen took a quick look and found some ideas in it, but he also found some use for it. (End of this chapter)
