Chapter 146 The Dog Barks in the Middle of the Night
Liu Lingling didn't borrow much food, she only borrowed three pounds.
Zhou Ziwen understood after a little thought. Liu Lingling was a woman and didn't eat much. Three kilograms of food was enough for her to survive for ten days or half a month.
Moreover, they still had some food in stock, so they just had to eat sparingly.
Zhou Ziwen readily lent them the food, including Chen Yang and his group, a total of 24 kilograms.
After they left with profuse thanks, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters' yard finally became quiet.
"Brother Ziwen, you are so nice." Chen Qiaoyi felt touched and looked at Zhou Ziwen with some emotion.
The miserable appearance of Liu Lingling and the others today reminded her of herself. If Zhou Ziwen hadn't been taking care of them all the time, their lives would definitely not be as good as they are now.
"Haha, you are my wife. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?" Zhou Ziwen rubbed the girl's head with a smile.
Today, Chen Qiaoyi tied her hair into two buns, one on the left and one on the right. It looked quite festive, and Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but want to play with it.
"Who is your wife? You haven't married me yet!" Chen Qiaoyi turned her head away shyly.
"It's almost time, it's almost time. The autumn harvest will be here soon. We will get married after the harvest." Zhou Ziwen hugged her shoulders and comforted her with a smile.
"Yeah." Chen Qiaoyi nodded obediently.
Perhaps because they have been together for a long time, she no longer avoids talking about marriage.
On the contrary, she particularly hoped that time would pass quickly so that she could marry Zhou Ziwen earlier.
After chatting for a while, seeing that the meal was not ready yet, Zhou Ziwen returned to his room and started reading a book called "Rural Carpentry".
This book talks about how to use carpentry tools and some general techniques. The content is simple and straightforward. It can be said that anyone who can read can basically understand it.
It not only introduces various types of wood, but also many methods of making furniture commonly used in homes.
It can be said that as long as you learn the contents of this book, you can basically create whatever you want in the future.
Zhou Ziwen bought this book to study because he was impressed by its practicality.
Chen Qiaoyi will marry him in a while, and he is also planning to clean up the house.
There is also "History of Chinese Architecture", which is a more impressive book.
The content is extensive and profound, with explanations of everything from palaces, tombs, bridges, and pavilions to private houses and huts.
Some of the building construction methods inside are amazing.
With the help of carpentry skills, Zhou Ziwen is confident that he can renovate his home.
However, he has just started reading this book, and he doesn't know much about carpentry skills, so he needs to learn more.
His learning method is also very simple. He finishes reading the book first, then starts to idle after finishing it, and then waits for his skill proficiency to improve.
What others need years or even decades to learn, he can achieve in just one or two days, or one or two months.
He didn't have the time and energy to do these things before, but now that he has plenty of time, he is also planning to renovate his home.
After all, he won't be alone at home anymore. He has a wife, so he has to make her life better.
Although Chen Qiaoyi might not care about these things, as a man, he feels that he has this responsibility and obligation.
There is also my sister-in-law. After he marries Chen Qiaoyi, Chen Shiying will be all alone, so I have to take care of her no matter what.
Not long after, Chen Qiaoyi came over and called him to eat.
Zhou Ziwen put down the book in his hand and went to the Chen sisters' home.
"Ziwen, Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang came over just now. They also lent some food to the people in the Youth League." Chen Shiying said while eating.
"It seems that they are quite wealthy. They even have food to lend to others." Zhou Ziwen smiled.
He was not surprised by the news. Although they did not live with the people from the Youth League Institute, everyone always had friends.
Although the atmosphere in the Youth League Institute was not very good, there were good and bad people there. Even Zhou Ziwen had a few friends there. Of course, they were just superficial friends, not deep friends.
Zhou Chaoyang is a generous guy, and he has lived in the Youth League Home for a few days, so he has some popularity.
The person who came to see them this time also had a good relationship with them.
"They are not rich. I heard from Sister Zhaodi that they don't have much food left. If they lend it to others this time, they might not even have enough to eat themselves!" Chen Qiaoyi said from the side.
"Haha, it seems they are just too embarrassed to admit it!" Zhou Ziwen sighed, but didn't take it to heart. Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi were both well-off.
Especially this kid Zhou Chaoyang, even if he has no food, he can spend money to buy it. He has no shortage of money or tickets.
Although Shen Zhaodi was a little worse off, she was much better off than those people in the Youth League Home. If she didn't have money, she wouldn't have run out and built a house to live in.
"After all, we are friends, so I will help if I can." Chen Shiying said something fair.
In fact, when Liu Lingling and the others came to ask for help just now, she and Chen Qiaoyi were very embarrassed. Zhou Ziwen happened to come, so they asked him what to do.
The food they eat now is all earned by Zhou Ziwen by growing mushrooms himself.
Whether to lend the food or not, Zhou Ziwen must approve.
But Zhou Ziwen didn't care about these things. After all, we were all family, so why differentiate between you and me?
What's more, if he hadn't had such a big appetite, the Chen sisters' food wouldn't have run out so quickly.
"Whatever, they have enough money anyway." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"That's true." Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi agreed with what he said.
…
In the evening, when Zhou Ziwen was tired of reading and was about to go to bed, Tayun in the next yard suddenly barked.
From the cry of Tayun, it can be heard that it has discovered something.
Zhou Ziwen listened for a while and found that Tayun next door had stopped calling.
"Who's still out here this late? Is there something going on at the Youth Hostel?"
Zhou Ziwen muttered something, and when he found there was no other movement, he ignored it. What happened at the Youth League Institute had nothing to do with him.
If anything really goes wrong, we'll know when we go to work tomorrow.
In the countryside, no news can be kept secret. Not to mention if there is something wrong, even if there is nothing wrong, people can make up some story.
What Zhou Ziwen didn't know was that something had indeed happened at the Youth League Institute.
There is no moon tonight, only a few scattered stars in the sky.
The gate of the Youth League Home opened quietly, and several dark figures emerged from inside.
These people groped their way slowly towards the production team's land in the dark, and their purpose was self-evident.
After groping their way, they soon arrived at the sweet potato field of the production team.
Along the way, they didn't dare to use flashlights because they couldn't see the road and they fell several times.
But for the sake of food, no one cares about this little thing.
