In the ginseng field, Zhou Ziwen carefully pulled out the weeds one by one, just like everyone was looking for trouble.
These weeds are very annoying and will compete with ginseng for nutrients. Zhou Ziwen has zero tolerance for them.
By the time he finished his work on the ginseng field, the Chen sisters at home had already prepared the meal.
"Yaoyao, is your house finished? When will the beams be put up?"
Zhou Ziwen asked while eating.
"Uncle Wu said that the day after tomorrow is a good day, and asked me to put up the beam on that day."
Tang Yaoyao was eating steamed buns like a little hamster, and her words were a little unclear.
"The day after tomorrow is indeed a good day. The captain's daughter is getting married the day after tomorrow."
Zhou Ziwen nodded and said.
"Then Brother Ziwen can't have dinner with us?"
Hearing this, Tang Yaoyao was instantly disappointed.
"It's okay, just treat me to a meal tonight."
Zhou Ziwen shook his head indifferently.
He had promised Wang Hongbing before, so he definitely couldn't break his promise.
"That's all I can do."
Tang Yaoyao was not the kind of person who would make trouble for no reason. She knew that Zhou Ziwen had something important to attend to. Although she was a little disappointed, she could understand.
After lunch, he took a rest as usual. When it was time to go to work, Zhou Ziwen slowly got up from the kang.
After washing his face, Zhou Ziwen continued his work of digging a well.
As he went in and out of the well, the water became deeper and deeper.
By the time work was almost over, the well was almost ten meters deep.
"There's a chance."
Zhou Ziwen rubbed the soil on the ground and felt its moisture.
The soil at the bottom of the well is completely different from the soil on the ground.
Judging from his perspective, it would probably take less than 20 meters to get out of the water.
Next, Zhou Ziwen was full of energy and didn't stop until the two sisters returned home.
Slow work produces fine results, so there is no need to rush when digging a well.
It doesn't matter if it's late, there's no rush anyway.
"Ziwen, take a break! We'll do the rest tomorrow."
After the two sisters came back, they immediately tried to persuade them.
"Okay!"
Zhou Ziwen nodded obediently, "I'll clean up the yard and then rest."
After digging for a long time, there was a lot of dirt piled up in the yard. I decided to clean it out before it got dark.
Carrying a basket, I met Zhou Chaoyang as soon as I went out.
"Brother Zhou, do you need help?"
Zhou Chaoyang asked enthusiastically.
"Forget it, just go do your thing, I'll be done in a moment."
Zhou Ziwen shook his head.
It's not just about asking him for help, it's also about owing him a favor, but he can't do any work.
If you have this much time, you might as well do it yourself.
After quickly clearing the mud in the yard, it was time to rest.
Two sisters were busy in the kitchen, and Tang Yaoyao was chattering beside them, and it was unclear whether she was helping or just joining in the fun.
He was in a daze until Chen Qiaoyi called him to eat.
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen rested for a while, then took a shower and went to bed.
The next morning, Zhou Ziwen woke up to the sound of the radio.
After exercising for a while in the yard, just as he was about to wash up, Chen Qiaoyi rushed in from outside, screaming as she ran.
"Brother Ziwen, come and see, the chicks have broken out of their shells and they seem to be about to come out."
Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen felt relieved.
He thought his wife was frightened by something.
"Don't worry, take me to see it."
Zhou Ziwen's steady voice calmed Chen Qiaoyi down a bit.
"Brother Ziwen, hurry up, I can see them using their mouths to pick at the eggshells."
Chen Qiaoyi held his hand, and her face looked a little nervous.
"Don't worry, it takes several hours for the chicks to hatch. It's still early!"
Zhou Ziwen said calmly.
"Ah, it takes so long? Will I be unable to wait until they hatch?"
Chen Qiaoyi was a little disappointed.
"It's okay, I'm here! You can see them when you get back from work at noon."
Zhou Ziwen rubbed her head to comfort her.
"Brother Zhou, what's going on? Are the chicks you hatching about to come out?"
At this time, Zhou Chaoyang's voice came over.
Obviously, they were all startled by Chen Qiaoyi's scream.
"Yeah, it looks like it's about to hatch."
Zhou Ziwen replied.
"So soon? I'll go check it out too."
Hearing this, Zhou Chaoyang suddenly became interested. He had never seen a chick hatch from its shell!
"Brother Ziwen, I want to see it too."
Tang Yaoyao also ran out of the house excitedly.
The chicks were hatched, which was a relatively new thing for them. When Zhou Ziwen and the others came to the backyard, Shen Zhaodi and Chen Shiying followed.
Obviously, everyone wanted to see with their own eyes how these little chicks hatched.
When I came to the backyard, I saw a few chickens pecking at the ground.
Even the hen that was hatching chicks left the coop.
In the chicken coop, ten white eggs were lying there neatly.
A group of people came to the chicken coop and stared at the eggs without blinking.
Zhou Ziwen had sharp eyes and noticed that several of the eggs had their shells slightly broken.
If you look closely, you can see the chicks inside pecking at the shells.
"It's moving, it's moving. Look, the egg is moving."
Chen Qiaoyi pointed at one of the eggs excitedly, her expression like a child showing off his favorite toy.
"Yeah, I see."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded.
"Brother Ziwen, when do you think these chicks will hatch?"
Tang Yaoyao asked curiously.
"It's still early! It looks like it will take at least two or three hours."
Zhou Ziwen estimated the time.
"Ah, it's still taking so long!"
Hearing this, the girls were a little disappointed.
"Soon, soon."
Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.
A group of people gathered around the egg that was struggling to break out of its shell, chattering non-stop.
"Okay, chicks don't hatch that quickly, so let's eat first so we don't get delayed."
Seeing that everyone was still excited, Zhou Ziwen had to interrupt.
"All right!"
Although the girls were a little disappointed, they obeyed.
After Zhou Ziwen's persuasion, they reluctantly returned home.
After dinner, Chen Qiaoyi and Tang Yaoyao went to take another look.
In just a short while, the hole pecked by the chicken became a little bigger.
When it was time to go to work, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters came to the threshing ground of the production team together.
During the meeting, the team leader announced a piece of good news: the cowshed and pigpen in the village had been repaired.
In order to prevent collapse from happening again, the cowshed and pigpen were built particularly solidly this time.
At least it won't break down in a few decades.
This incident also serves as a reminder to everyone.
The team leader emphasized that we must pay attention to safety, especially for those houses that have been in disrepair for many years. We should repair what needs to be repaired and not be reluctant to spend money.
In fact, it doesn’t cost much to repair a house, but some people are reluctant to do so.
Secretary Wu will visit these people one by one to greet them later.
With Wu Dagang taking action, I believe the villagers will still give him face. (End of this chapter)
