Chapter 121 The Mill Pulled by Livestock
When he arrived at the mill, in order not to waste time, Zhou Ziwen chose the largest stone mill in the village.
It's the kind used by animals in the village, and almost no one uses it now.
Zhou Ziwen was very strong and wanted to finish the job quickly, so he simply used the largest millstone.
Anyway, his strength has been demonstrated in the village, so using a stone mill pulled by an animal is not unusual.
"Brother Ziwen, are you going to use this millstone?" Chen Qiaoyi looked at Zhou Ziwen in surprise.
"Yes, this one will be faster." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"Brother Zhou, isn't this pulled by animals? Aren't you tired?" Zhou Chaoyang looked at the small mill in front of him, and then looked at the big mill in front of Zhou Ziwen.
The contrast is like that between adults and children, the difference is very obvious.
Zhou Chaoyang felt that the small grinder in front of him suddenly lost its flavor.
"What's wrong with animals? Is this proof of a man's strength? If you can use this millstone, you can find any wife in the village." Zhou Ziwen said unhappily.
This kid, he always brings up things that are not related to his work!
How can he be compared with animals? Bah, can animals be compared with him?
"Brother Zhou, I was wrong. Please stop talking." Zhou Chaoyang clasped his hands together and begged for mercy.
His poor health seemed to be an insurmountable obstacle.
But in fact, his health is fine, he just lacks exercise and looks a little weak.
"Brother Ziwen, you are so powerful that you can find any wife in the village?" Chen Qiaoyi had a smile on her face, but her furrowed brows made her look a little fierce and cute.
"How am I so powerful? No matter how powerful I was, I still fell into your hands. You are still the most powerful." Zhou Ziwen reacted quickly. He knew that his future wife was jealous, so he started to show weakness on the spot, preparing to overcome the hard with the soft.
As a man, there is nothing wrong with showing weakness in front of women sometimes.
"Brother Ziwen, you are making fun of me."
Zhou Ziwen's trick was really good and made Chen Qiaoyi laugh immediately.
As for the little jealousy she had just felt, she had long forgotten it.
"How did I make fun of you? Ask them." Zhou Ziwen began to change the subject.
"No, you two should be careful of the impact, there are two single people here!" Chen Zhaodi couldn't stand the two people's sticky attitude.
"Then you don't have to be single, right?" Chen Qiaoyi spoke very boldly in front of her best friend.
"Tsk, I won't do that." Shen Zhaodi said with disdain.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, she made her meaning clear.
Zhou Chaoyang's eyes darkened for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
He actually has a good impression of Shen Zhaodi.
However, considering the family situation and the distance, it is basically impossible to be together.
They are not as decisive as Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi.
One is not afraid of difficulties, the other can do anything for love.
In fact, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi also discussed this issue privately.
Neither of them is a fearful person, and they have already gone to the countryside. They don’t know how many years they will need to stay there, nor when they can go back.
Although Zhou Ziwen knew it, he couldn't say it, but he also revealed an optimistic attitude to the Chen sisters.
For example, he guessed that they would be able to go back in five years at most.
It's just speculation, it's not illegal.
However, these five years alone have made the two sisters feel very lost.
They thought they would be able to go back in one or two years at most!
However, as time went by, the two sisters accepted it and knew that they could not go back in a short time, so they simply made plans to stay in the countryside for a long time.
Chen Qiaoyi was also very determined and she was determined to follow Zhou Ziwen.
Whether in the countryside or returning to the city in the future, she will go wherever Zhou Ziwen goes.
This is what Zhou Ziwen likes most about her.
Don't say she has no opinion, she's just a little love-sick.
In this era, the saying that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, a married woman must obey her husband, and men are the masters of the family is very popular.
Zhou Ziwen felt that since he had come to this era, he should adapt to the local customs.
In my previous life, it would not be easy to find such a good wife.
"Let's go, you guys take your time here!"
Zhou Ziwen worked very quickly and ground two hundred kilograms of grain in a short while.
Of course, this is also the reason why Da Mo is so powerful.
With Chen Qiaoyi helping him, Zhou Ziwen pushed the ball quickly and steadily.
"Brother Zhou, take care."
Zhou Chaoyang greeted Shen Zhaodi and then continued with his work.
Compared to cornmeal, rice straw is obviously more difficult to grind.
After all, this thing is relatively flexible and needs to be ground multiple times.
After carrying the ground cornmeal home, Zhou Ziwen went straight to the Chen sisters' house.
All the food in his family is kept here.
After all, he doesn't cook at home, and it would be troublesome to move him around.
After putting the food in the kitchen, Zhou Ziwen took some firewood from the woodshed.
He wanted to bake the dug cellar to dry out the moisture inside.
"Ziwen, hurry up and get a ladder. It's such a big hole, and no one except you can get down."
Seeing Zhou Ziwen carrying firewood and preparing to go down to the cellar, Chen Shiying said.
"Well, I'll go there later." Zhou Ziwen also felt that this was a bit inconvenient.
Of course, it was very convenient for him. He could just jump up from a height of more than two meters.
But the Chen sisters can't do that! If they go down, they probably won't be able to come up.
After lighting a fire in the cellar, Zhou Ziwen jumped out and went out to find Uncle Liang.
Making a door and a wooden ladder for the cellar was something he was supposed to do anyway. If he hadn't been delayed getting food that morning, he would have done it long ago.
When he arrived at Uncle Liang's house, Uncle Liang was at home.
I guess he has received some business and is still busy at home.
"Zhou Zhiqing, why are you here? Are we short of sawdust?"
After knocking on the door, Uncle Liang warmly invited him in.
"I have enough sawdust. I came here this time to ask you to help me build something." Zhou Ziwen stated his purpose.
"Okay, what do you want to order?" Uncle Liang became even more enthusiastic when he heard that business was coming.
"It's not a big thing, just a cellar door and a thick wooden ladder." Zhou Ziwen said.
"You dug a cellar?" Uncle Liang looked at Zhou Ziwen in surprise.
As far as he knew, Zhou Ziwen was the first educated youth to dig a cellar.
"Yes, it was just dug yesterday." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"Okay, then I'll go to your house and take a look and measure the size first." Uncle Liang said as he prepared to go out.
The two of them returned to Zhou Ziwen's house together. Uncle Liang took a look and then measured the size with a tape measure.
"Zhou Zhiqing, your cellar is really well dug. It won't get wet in the rain, and it's convenient for taking things out. It's much better than the one in my house."
After measuring the size, Uncle Liang praised.
"Haha, I just made up my mind and dug it up randomly. I don't know if it's good or not." Zhou Ziwen said modestly.
"You didn't dig randomly." Uncle Liang disagreed.
The place Zhou Ziwen chose seemed very suitable to him.
