After staying in the yard with Chen Qiaoyi for a while, Chen Shiying also prepared lunch.
When the two of them came out of the yard, if you looked closely, you could see that Chen Qiaoyi's clothes were disheveled and her breathing was rapid.
Obviously, Zhou Ziwen did a lot of tricks when he first came to the yard.
After lunch, Zhou Ziwen took a nap and got out of bed when it was time to go to work.
After getting up, he stayed in the yard and continued to peel the tea fruits.
After a busy day or two, only the last few oil tea fruits were left to be processed. I would just work a little harder in the afternoon and it would be almost done.
It was only then that he realized that oil pressing was a troublesome task that would take quite a while.
Of course, compared with the gains, this little delay is nothing.
Tea oil fruit is a good thing. This kind of oil may not be available even if you have money.
"Zhou Zhiqing, is Zhou Zhiqing home?"
Just as Zhou Ziwen was busy, there was a knock on the door.
"Woof woof woof!" Hearing someone knocking on the door, Tayun, who was lying at Zhou Ziwen's feet, immediately barked.
Although it looks cute and fierce, it is not fierce at all.
"Who is it? Come on."
The voice outside the door seemed unfamiliar. Zhou Ziwen was a little curious about who would come to see him at this time.
After opening the door, Zhou Ziwen recognized him immediately. This man was the younger brother of Xu Datou's wife. He had met him once in the hospital, but he didn't know his name.
"Hello, Zhou Zhiqing."
As soon as he opened the door, Zhou Ziwen saw Xu Datou's brother-in-law holding an old hen in one hand and a bag in the other. He didn't know what was in the bag.
"You must be Sister Zhou's brother, come in and sit down!" Zhou Ziwen welcomed him into the house.
Sister Zhou is Xu Datou’s wife. I don’t know her specific name, but I know her surname is Zhou.
"Yes, I'm Zhou Qiang, Zhou Zhiqing. Thank you for sending my sister to the hospital that day. The doctor said that if you hadn't sent her there in time, my sister would have died." Zhou Qiang said gratefully.
"We are all fellow villagers, it's only right for me to accept your thanks. You should take these things back. I didn't do anything." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.
As soon as he saw Zhou Qiang carrying so many things, he knew what it meant.
But looking at Zhou Qiang's clothes, you can tell that his family doesn't have an easy life either.
"Zhou Zhiqing, you must accept it. This is a special thank you from our family. If you don't accept it, our family will be criticized." Zhou Qiang didn't care whether he accepted it or not. He put the thing down on the spot and was about to leave.
"You..." Seeing Zhou Qiang's unreasonable look, Zhou Ziwen was a little amused.
"Zhou Zhiqing, don't refuse. If you don't accept it, I won't go back today." Zhou Qiang looked helpless.
"Okay, okay, I'll take it." Zhou Ziwen nodded helplessly.
It would be unreasonable for him to refuse to accept the gifts given to him out of kindness.
He thought that after a few days, when this matter was over, he would get some gifts and visit Sister Zhou as a way of returning the gift.
"Hey, that's right!"
Zhou Qiang is older than Zhou Ziwen. In his eyes, Zhou Ziwen is still a young man, and he speaks to him like an older brother.
"Brother Zhou, how is Sister Zhou now? Is everything okay?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Hmph, this is a big problem. If my elder sister hadn't stopped me, I would have given that damn Xu Datou a beating." Zhou Qiang is still very angry when talking about this.
After his explanation, Zhou Ziwen realized that Sister Zhou was not in good condition now. Although she was rescued in time, it was poison after all. Although the person was saved, she had serious sequelae.
Although I have been discharged from the hospital, I don’t look very good. I even have difficulty walking, and my hearing and eyesight have been affected.
Now I can only leave it to fate. I don’t know if I can bring it back.
"Well, if possible, let's find an old Chinese doctor to treat her first!" After learning about Sister Zhou's condition, Zhou Ziwen sighed.
Sister Zhou's condition is considered to be a serious sequelae. With his limited medical knowledge, if she is not properly treated, it will be difficult for her to even live a normal life.
"There's no Chinese medicine doctor here. There is a barefoot doctor in Niutou Village up there. I'll ask him to come and take a look later!"
Zhou Qiang sighed. To put it bluntly, the barefoot doctor was just a half-baked one. In a case like his sister's, he was completely useless.
I'm just trying my best to save the situation and asking someone to take a look.
Because of Sister Zhou's matter, the two of them lost interest in chatting.
After Zhou Qiang expressed his gratitude again, he quickly said goodbye and left.
"Maybe I should put my medical skills aside."
Today's incident touched Zhou Ziwen's heart. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.
When he has the ability, he is still willing to save people.
Sister Zhou’s sequelae are very troublesome and cannot be cured in a short time.
And to make her fully recover to normal requires a very high level of medical skills.
However, Zhou Ziwen had an AFK panel, so he didn't care about the difficulty. In a few days, the fourth AFK slot would be open, and by then, he could AFK 24/7, and his skill level would increase rapidly.
For each level up in medical skills, the required proficiency is ten times that of other skills. If you want to level up quickly, the sooner you idle, the better.
After Zhou Qiang left, Zhou Ziwen put the old hen in the chicken coop at the back.
Zhou Qiang said that this chicken can still lay eggs. It may have moved to another place and was a little frightened when it was caught. It needs to be fed for two days before it can lay eggs.
With this laying hen, I no longer have to go to fellow villagers to exchange eggs for them. If I feed it well, laying one egg a day is no problem.
In addition to the chicken, there was also a bag of white sugar and some dried cowpeas and dried vegetables.
Not to mention white sugar. In this era, giving a bag of white sugar is considered generous. Dried cowpeas and dried vegetables are also good things. In rural areas, everyone likes to get some. Whether it is used to stew soup or stir-fry, it tastes good.
Zhou Ziwen had eaten pork ribs stewed with dried cowpeas before. It tasted very good. Only a little salt was needed and no other seasonings were needed. The stewed soup was delicious.
After accepting the thank-you gift, Zhou Ziwen didn't think too much about it. He thought it was a matter of reciprocity and would just return it when he had the time.
The old hen that could still lay eggs was a surprise to him. He regretted buying the chicks at the beginning. He should have bought them from the villagers at that time.
Although laying hens are very expensive, he can afford them. It's just a matter of spending a little more money.
But it’s too late to regret after buying it.
What's more, Chen Qiaoyi likes chickens very much. Most of the time, it is Chen Qiaoyi who feeds the chickens he raises, so he doesn't have to worry about them.
Back in the yard, Zhou Ziwen continued processing the remaining tea fruit. Zhou Qiang had delayed him earlier, so there were still quite a few left. He planned to peel all the fruit before leaving work, then dry them for a day. He would then extract the seeds and press the oil tomorrow. (End of this chapter)
