"I'm fine, why do you come to see me?" Wu Dagang said stubbornly.

If he hadn't been holding the bamboo stick, his words would have been more convincing.

"Uncle Wu, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone! Although your bones are broken, they are cracked after all, so you still need to recuperate well." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

"I don't feel anything whether it's cracked or not." Wu Dagang patted his injured leg and still maintained a stubborn attitude.

"You old man, you're just talking nonsense. If you can, stop crying out in pain at night!" Aunt Chen exposed his true colors.

"Uh..." Wu Dagang felt a little embarrassed after saying this.

But he couldn't argue with his wife, so he could only pretend not to hear.

"Hehe!" Chen's little sister laughed secretly with her head down beside her.

A smile also appeared on Chen Shiying's lips.

"Uncle Wu, the village will distribute grain tomorrow, right?" Seeing Wu Dagang's embarrassment, Zhou Ziwen helped him change the subject.

"Yes, distributing grain is a big deal. The village will definitely be very lively tomorrow." When talking about this, Wu Dagang became interested. Of course, it is not ruled out that he wanted to change the subject.

"You've just arrived in the village and haven't received many work points. You need to think carefully about how to exchange them."

"Hmm?" Zhou Ziwen looked at Wu Dagang, waiting for what to say next.

He had never experienced food distribution before, so he didn't know the ins and outs of it.

"In our village, in addition to the grain that is handed over, the village will keep some as reserve grain and some seeds."

"Apart from this part, the rest is for everyone."

As for how much the production team would leave behind, Wu Dagang did not elaborate, as it was a bit complicated to explain.

"For the remaining grain, we will adopt a distribution system based on more work, more pay. The more work points you earn, the more grain you will receive."

"But these grains include staple food and supplementary food. The work points required to exchange them are different. I see that you don't have many work points, so it would be best to exchange them for more coarse grains."

Wu Dagang pointed out.

The so-called staple food refers to grains such as rice, wheat, corn, and sorghum.

Sideline foods include soybeans, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

"Uncle Wu, I remember I can buy food with money, right?" Zhou Ziwen was tired of eating coarse grains and wanted to change his taste, so he planned to get more fine grains.

"You can buy it with money, but usually it's you educated youth who buy food." Wu Dagang nodded.

The villagers in the village do not need to buy food. The food distributed every year is enough for them to eat. If they save a little, there will be some left over.

"What about the price?" Zhou Ziwen's eyes lit up.

"The price will be much cheaper than outside, and you don't need a ticket." Wu Dagang said with a smile.

"Great, then I'll buy more." Zhou Ziwen clenched his fists and decided to buy a few hundred kilograms first.

"Don't think too much. You can't just buy as much food as you want." Wu Dagang said.

"How much can I buy? Can I buy 500 kilograms?" Zhou Ziwen calculated that if he could buy 500 kilograms of food, it would be enough for him to eat for a year.

Together with the work points he earned in the past few months, the food he received was enough for him and the Chen sisters to eat.

"You want to buy so much?" Wu Dagang was shocked when he heard this.

"There's nothing I can do. I eat a lot, and if I buy less it won't be enough." Zhou Ziwen felt helpless.

With his appetite, he needs a pound of food to eat three meals a day.

There are 365 days in a year, so it must be at least 300 to 500 kilograms!

"That's true." Thinking of Zhou Ziwen's appetite, Wu Dagang nodded in understanding.

"Can't you buy so much?" Zhou Ziwen asked when he saw Wu Dagang looking a little embarrassed.

"It's indeed a bit too much, but there is a solution." Wu Dagang nodded.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Ziwen's eyes lit up. As long as there was a way, it would be fine. He was just worried that the villagers would not sell it to him!

"It's not that easy. Just ask others to buy it for you." Wu Dagang suggested meaningfully.

In principle, anyone who works in the village has the opportunity to buy food, but most villagers don't buy it, and the food they are given is enough for them to eat.

"Oh." Zhou Ziwen nodded in understanding.

He understood what I meant. It was just asking someone to buy it for him. He was familiar with it.

"It seems that you have quite a lot of money, you actually dare to buy so much food." Wu Dagang sighed.

"What can we do? We can't let me starve!" Zhou Ziwen said helplessly.

"Okay, don't bother yourself. When you want to buy food, come to me and I will help you to avoid trouble." Wu Dagang said.

"Okay." Zhou Ziwen was even happier when he heard that he didn't have to go find anyone.

"But I have to remind you that the food you bought can only be eaten by yourself. If you sell it, even I can't protect you." Wu Dagang warned.

"Of course, I don't have enough to eat myself, why would I sell it?" Zhou Ziwen nodded seriously.

After taking care of the food issue, Zhou Ziwen stayed at Uncle Wu's house for a while. Seeing that the time was almost up, he and the Chen sisters politely said goodbye and left.

Of course, there will be some tug-of-war in the middle.

Aunt Chen, in particular, insisted on letting them stay for dinner, and in the end, it took Zhou Ziwen a long time to persuade them before she let them go.

However, Zhou Ziwen still agreed to have dinner with them next time he came.

When they got home, the Chen sisters went to cook, while Zhou Ziwen played with the puppy in the yard.

As his dog training skills improved, he also acquired more dog training techniques. Maybe it was because black dogs were smarter, but Zhou Ziwen didn't find it difficult at all when training Tayun.

"Brother Ziwen, it's time to eat!"

Not long after, Zhou Ziwen heard the voice of Chen's younger sister.

"Here I come!" Zhou Ziwen stood up.

Today's dinner is quite sumptuous. In order to cater to Zhou Ziwen's appetite, there is not only fried fish, but also two scrambled eggs.

"Delicious." Zhou Ziwen took a bite and gave a thumbs up to Chen's eldest sister.

"I think there is meat!" Chen Shiying rolled her eyes at him softly.

"Yeah, the meat is delicious too." Zhou Ziwen nodded. "After the food is distributed tomorrow, we'll go to the mountains to see if we can hunt any prey."

Zhou Ziwen is a meat lover. He can insist on eating meat when there is no other way, but if conditions permit, he still hopes to eat meat every day.

"Hehe." Chen Qiaoyi already knew his hobbies and was not surprised by his words.

After the meal, Zhou Ziwen patted his butt and left, leaving only the Chen sisters to clean up the dishes.

The three of them have their own division of labor. Although there is no clear arrangement, they have formed a tacit understanding.

When it comes to cooking and washing dishes, these are usually taken care of by Chen Shiying.

Chen Qiaoyi is basically the one who cleans the house.

It is worth mentioning that not long after he started dating Chen Qiaoyi, Zhou Ziwen never washed clothes again.

With Chen Qiaoyi around, Zhou Ziwen's house is clean and tidy every day. (End of this chapter)
