Hatching chicks is a big event in the village.

In the past two days, everyone in Dabazi Village has been discussing this matter.

If Zhao Youcai hadn't stopped them, the pig farm would have been almost overwhelmed.

The villagers all wanted to see the newly hatched chicks with their own eyes, and everyone's enthusiasm was really high.

Zhao Youcai stood helplessly at the door of the brooding room, explaining to everyone over and over again that the chicks were still very fragile and needed a quiet environment.

Even the members who are busy on weekdays would get together during breaks and excitedly talk about the number and health of the chicks.

Now the chicks have been brought to the chicken farm, and everyone has finally seen them.

The villagers gathered around the chicken farm, their eyes fixed on the fluffy chicks, and they kept exclaiming in admiration.

"Oh, these chicks are so cute!" said an old lady with a smile, and the wrinkles on her face smoothed out.

"Yes, looking at how lively they are, they will surely grow big and strong in the future." An uncle nodded in agreement.

The educated youth were also among them, their eyes full of novelty and expectation.

The educated youth who were assigned to work in the chicken farms observed the chickens' every move carefully, wanting to become familiar with the ones they would be taking care of in the future as quickly as possible.

The female educated youth had even started discussing giving the chicks some cute names.

However, Zhou Ziwen knew that their happiness was only temporary.

In a few months, when these chicks grow up, they will probably be in tears.

However, this is also part of growing up.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Ziwen! You have to help me keep an eye on them these days. I'm afraid I can't take care of all the chicks."

Zhao Youcai walked over and spoke to Zhou Ziwen.

Zhou Ziwen nodded: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhao, I will help watch over it."

With Zhou Ziwen's guarantee, Zhao Youcai felt a lot more relieved.

He patted Zhou Ziwen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Good boy, uncle was right about you."

"Haha!" Zhou Ziwen shook his head and laughed.

I have to say that it was a good choice to let Zhao Youcai be the team leader.

He is indeed a serious and responsible person who does everything himself.

He is even more dedicated to the chicken farm and dares not be careless in the slightest.

In less than a month, Zhao Youcai managed the chicken farm in an orderly manner, and his management skills were quite good.

After spending half a day at the chicken farm, it was almost noon, so Zhou Ziwen left work early and went home to cook.

When I got home, Chen Qiaoyi was playing with Yueyue in the yard.

As soon as she saw Zhou Ziwen, little Yueyue excitedly waved her hands and asked for a hug, calling "Dad".

The crisp sound melted Zhou Ziwen's heart.

He hurried over, picked up little Yueyue, and kissed her little face again and again.

By now, Yueyue is five months old.

Not only can he call "Dad", but he can also stand up.

Of course, he could only stand up by holding on to something, and he couldn't walk yet.

But for a five-month-old baby, this is quite remarkable.

Zhou Ziwen held little Yueyue in his arms and teased her happily. Little Yueyue giggled and the yard was filled with cheerful laughter.

"Brother Ziwen, look how cute little Yueyue is." Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.

"Yes, little Yueyue is getting smarter and smarter." Zhou Ziwen looked at little Yueyue with a doting look on his face.

"What are we having for lunch?" Chen Qiaoyi asked.

"Didn't Tayun and his friends catch a roe deer yesterday? There's still a lot of meat left. Let's cook roe deer meat for lunch and stir-fry some vegetables to go with it." Zhou Ziwen said.

"Okay, then I'll go prepare it." Chen Qiaoyi said and walked into the kitchen and started to get busy.

Zhou Ziwen played with Yueyue for a while, and seeing that she was a little sleepy, he carried her back to the house to sleep.

Zhou Ziwen left the room only after coaxing Yueyue to sleep.

At this time, Chen Qiaoyi had almost finished cooking.

Just then, Chen Shiying also came back from work.

The three of them had lunch together and then began to rest.

…

After the chicken farm was built, the entire production team became idle.

The time for summer weeding has not yet arrived, there is still about half a month left.

Taking advantage of the free time, the members of Dabazi Village no longer have to go to work every day.

Except for necessary positions, such as the silkworm breeding group, mushroom group, chicken breeding group, and pig breeding group, everyone else can take a proper rest.

Of course, even when they are resting, the villagers cannot relax.

Whenever they have free time, they go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and herbs to supplement their family income.

Zhou Ziwen has no interest in digging wild vegetables.

Thinking that he hadn't gone fishing for a long time, he decided to go to the deep pool to fish.

Zhou Ziwen found his fishing tools, checked the fishing line and hook, and after making sure there was no problem, he walked towards the deep pool.

Along the way, he saw many villagers carrying baskets and small shovels, talking and laughing as they walked up the mountain, obviously going to dig wild vegetables or herbs.

Zhou Ziwen greeted them with a smile and continued towards his destination.

Arriving at the edge of the deep pool, Zhou Ziwen found a suitable place to sit down.

He skillfully hung the bait on the hook, and then with a gentle flick, the hook fell into the water, creating ripples.

Zhou Ziwen sat there quietly, his eyes fixed on the water, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

His fishing skills have reached the maximum level, and fishing is almost the same as picking up fish. After a while, the float moved a few times and then sank directly.

Seeing this, Zhou Ziwen hurriedly pulled it up with force, and a big fish jumped out of the water. The sunlight shone on the fish scales, sparkling with silver light.

"Good, this fish must be three or four pounds." Zhou Ziwen put the fish into the fish basket with satisfaction and continued fishing.

Not long after, the fishing float began to move again. This time, Zhou Ziwen felt an unusual force.

He pulled it out with force and actually pulled out a big turtle, weighing five or six pounds. He was immediately overjoyed.

"Hey, I'm really lucky today. I actually caught a turtle."

Zhou Ziwen put the turtle into the fish basket and felt that today's catch was already good.

When he was about to catch a few more fish and go back, the float moved again. This time, Zhou Ziwen felt a struggling force under the water, as if he had hooked something big.

He had an idea and walked carefully with the thing in the water.

Not long after, a big fish nearly one meter long surfaced from the water. It was silver-white all over and sparkled in the sun.

"Hey, it looks like a sturgeon!" Zhou Ziwen was surprised, because sturgeon is a good thing.

Sturgeon, also known as Qili Fuzi, is a national treasure. The meat of sturgeon is soft and tough. The most distinctive feature is that its bones are all brittle bones, and even the fish head can be chewed completely.

He hurriedly pulled the sturgeon ashore and put it into the fish basket.

Looking at the full basket of fish, Zhou Ziwen felt that it was enough, so he put away the hook, picked up the basket and prepared to go home. (End of this chapter)
