That day, Zhou Ziwen rode his bicycle and set off for the county town with the translated manuscript.
He had two goals today: one was to submit his manuscript, and the other was to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things.
The sun shines on the country road, and the wild flowers on the roadside sway gently in the breeze, as if adding a different kind of vitality to Zhou Ziwen's journey.
Along the way, the breeze gently caressed his face, bringing the fresh air from the fields, making him feel particularly comfortable.
Soon, Zhou Ziwen arrived in the county town. He went straight to the bookstore and found Li Guangwen behind the counter.
"Ziwen, you're here! Come in and sit down."
When he saw Zhou Ziwen, Li Guangwen's face showed surprise.
Zhou Ziwen parked his bicycle, walked into the bookstore, and said to Li Guangwen with a smile, "Uncle Li, long time no see! I came this time to give you the translated manuscript, and also to see if there are any new good books in the bookstore."
As he spoke, he took out the manuscript from his bag and handed it to Li Guangwen.
Li Guangwen took the manuscript and said excitedly, "Ziwen, you've been a great help. The materials you translated are so important to our bookstore."
Zhou Ziwen smiled modestly: "I am just doing my part, as long as I can help."
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Li Guangwen took Zhou Ziwen around the bookstore.
The bookstore is filled with the aroma of paper and ink, and the shelves are filled with a variety of books, including classic literary masterpieces, practical agricultural technology books, political theory readings, and so on.
Readers stand or sit, immersed in the world of books.
Zhou Ziwen's eyes scanned the bookshelf, picking up a book from time to time to read.
He found several books on new agricultural technologies and Chinese medicine health preservation, which he had never read before. He planned to buy them and read them slowly when he got home.
After selecting the books, Zhou Ziwen and Li Guangwen went to the counter to pay.
Li Guangwen insisted on giving Zhou Ziwen a discount. He said, "Ziwen, you have made so many contributions to the bookstore. This is what I should do."
Zhou Ziwen couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.
After paying the bill, Zhou Ziwen looked at the time and said to Li Guangwen, "Uncle Li, it's getting late. I still have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. My family is waiting for me to bring some back today."
Li Guangwen nodded: "Okay, Ziwen. Come to the bookstore again when you are free next time, and we can continue to communicate."
Zhou Ziwen said goodbye to Li Guangwen and rode his bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative, which was bustling with people.
He parked his bicycle and walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.
First, he went to the daily necessities area and picked out some soap, towels, toothpaste and other daily necessities.
He thought that the soap at home was almost used up, and these things were daily necessities, so he needed to prepare more.
When choosing towels, he deliberately picked out a few soft and thick ones, thinking that they would be more comfortable for his family to use.
Next, he came to the food area.
Seeing the wide variety of food on the shelves, the smiling faces of his family came to his mind.
He bought some candies and biscuits that the children liked.
These are all bought for Yueyue to eat.
The little guy is getting bigger now and has started to eat some snacks.
After buying food, Zhou Ziwen went to the fabric area.
He wanted to make some new clothes for Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying, so he carefully selected suitable fabrics.
He ran his fingers lightly over the fabrics, feeling their textures and colors.
In the end, he chose a piece of light blue cotton cloth, thinking that this color was very suitable for Chen Qiaoyi, fresh and elegant.
I also chose a piece of dark purple silk, thinking that Chen Shiying would look noble and elegant in it.
After walking around the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Ziwen took the selected items to the counter to pay one by one.
The salesperson calculated the price skillfully. Zhou Ziwen paid and carefully put the items in a bag on the back of the bicycle to make sure they would not fall.
After everything was ready, Zhou Ziwen rode his bicycle back home.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, stretching his shadow out.
He was in a particularly good mood and looked forward to sharing today's harvest with his family after returning home.
Zhou Ziwen rode his bicycle, humming a little tune, and headed home along the country road.
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched his figure out, as if sharing his inner joy.
Soon, he returned to the village.
As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I heard little Yueyue's cheerful laughter coming from the yard.
He parked his bike and walked into the yard carrying bags.
"Dad is back!" Little Yueyue was sharp-eyed and was the first to spot Zhou Ziwen. She ran towards him with her short legs.
Zhou Ziwen smiled and raised the candy in his hand, teasing little Yueyue: "Yueyue, be good, look what daddy brought you."
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying heard the noise and came out of the house.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen returning with a full load, the two smiled at each other.
"Ziwen, you're back! Are you tired today?" Chen Qiaoyi asked gently, her eyes full of concern.
"I'm not tired. I've gained a lot today!" Zhou Ziwen responded with a smile, walked into the house, took out the things one by one and placed them on the table.
"Wow, there are so many delicious foods!" Little Yueyue excitedly walked around the table, her little hands reaching out to the candies impatiently.
"Yueyue, wash your hands before eating." Chen Qiaoyi reminded with a smile.
Little Yueyue nodded obediently and ran to wash her hands.
Zhou Ziwen took out the fabric he had bought for Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying and handed it to them: "Qiaoyi, Shiying, I bought some fabric for you and planned to make you new clothes. Do you like it?"
Chen Qiaoyi took the light blue cotton cloth, her eyes full of surprise: "Ziwen, this color is really beautiful, thank you."
Chen Shiying also held the dark purple silk and couldn't let it go: "Brother Ziwen, you are so thoughtful. The texture of this silk is really good, I like it very much."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "As long as you like it. When we have time, we can make clothes together."
By now, he has plenty of AFK slots, and in his spare time, he can AFK if he finds a skill useful.
Small skills like tailoring were already maxed out by him.
To this day, the clothes he makes are better looking than those made by Chen Shiying.
At this time, little Yueyue ran back after washing her hands, sat on the chair, picked up a biscuit and ate it happily.
Zhou Ziwen looked at the cute little Yueyue and his heart was filled with joy.
After lunch, Zhou Yichen and the two sisters sat in the yard to rest.
While little Yueyue was playing nearby, Zhou Ziwen discussed the development of the village with Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying.
Zhou Ziwen plans to continue to delve deeper into the planting industry.
After all, in the countryside, the most abundant thing is land, and what the villagers are most familiar with is farming.
His planting skills have reached level six, close to level seven.
At this level, Zhou Ziwen has a deeper and more accurate understanding of the growth habits, planting points, and pest and disease control of various crops.
He knew that rationally utilizing land resources and developing a diversified planting industry were crucial to improving the village's economic income and the villagers' living standards. (End of this chapter)
