"Brother Ziwen, you're back!" Seeing Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi hurriedly came forward.
"Well, I saw it was getting late, so I hurried back." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"Ziwen, wait a moment, I'll go cook." Chen Shiying stood up.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time." Zhou Ziwen said.
In fact, they had just returned from the city, and after several days' journey, the two sisters were already a little tired.
Fortunately, they had just rested at home for a while and regained some energy.
"Then let's have a simple meal. You're tired, so go to bed early."
Zhou Ziwen looked at the two sisters' slightly tired faces, his heart filled with pity.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying walked into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner.
Zhou Ziwen sat by the fire, playing with Yueyue and Xuanxuan.
The two children were extremely excited to see their father come back. Little Yueyue ran around Zhou Ziwen, talking non-stop about what she saw and heard in the city. Little Xuanxuan was also babbling and reaching out to be hugged by his father.
After a while, the aroma of food came from the kitchen.
Chen Qiaoyi came out with a plate of steaming dumplings and said with a smile, "We're having dumplings tonight, come and try some."
Zhou Ziwen took the chopsticks, picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth, saying with satisfaction: "Mm, delicious. Home-cooked food still smells better."
Chen Shiying also came out of the kitchen with a bowl of steaming soup in her hand.
She put the soup on the table and said, "This is the vegetable soup I cooked. Everyone, have some and warm yourself up."
The family sat around the table and started eating dinner.
Little Yueyue was eating with gusto, while little Xuanxuan was in Chen Qiaoyi's arms, drinking milk from the bottle.
Zhou Ziwen looked at the warm scene and his heart was filled with happiness.
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen helped to clean up the dishes, then lay down on the kang early to rest.
After Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying finished washing up, they also got on the kang.
Chen Qiaoyi leaned gently against Zhou Ziwen's side and whispered, "Brother Ziwen, this time when I returned to the city, I saw that my family was doing well, and I felt relieved. But I don't know when I can go back next time."
Zhou Ziwen reached out and gently stroked her hair, comforting her:
"Don't worry, there will always be opportunities in the future. Once we have settled things in the village, maybe we can go back more often."
Only he knew that there would be big changes this year, and it wouldn't be long before they would be able to return to the city in glory.
Chen Shiying also said, "Yes, the village is developing well now, and we have a fulfilling life here. However, it would be even better if we could go back to the city to see our family more often."
Zhou Ziwen smiled, but he was thinking about the upcoming resumption of the college entrance examination.
He knew that this was a great opportunity for them to return to the city, and he must seize it.
But now, he cannot tell Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying this news. After all, the news about the college entrance examination has not been announced yet, and he cannot say anything carelessly.
"By the way, Brother Ziwen, what did you talk about when you went to Uncle Wu's house today?" Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously.
Zhou Ziwen told them about the discussions he had had with Wu Dagang regarding the management of educated youth, as well as some of his ideas for the future development of the village.
"It is necessary to strengthen the management of educated youth, so that they can better integrate into the village and avoid unnecessary troubles," said Chen Shiying.
"Yeah, I think so too. Moreover, we can also guide the educated youth to give full play to their strengths and make greater contributions to the development of the village." Zhou Ziwen nodded in agreement.
"What about the village's industrial development? Do you have any specific plans?" Chen Qiaoyi asked.
"I want to stabilize the existing industry first and improve product quality and output," said Zhou Ziwen.
The three of them chatted for a while, and the temperature in the room gradually warmed up.
They didn't exercise well when they were in the city, so they have to make up for it now.
Zhou Ziwen had a very busy night.
I tossed and turned most of the night before I fell asleep.
No words were spoken that night.
After waking up from bed the next day, Zhou Ziwen returned to his daily routine.
I exercised in the yard first, and then started preparing breakfast.
The two sisters were in great pain yesterday and haven't woken up yet.
Little Yueyue, on the other hand, is more energetic. She has already woken up and is sitting on the kang playing alone.
Zhou Ziwen tiptoed to the edge of the kang, looked at Yueyue's adorable appearance, and said softly, "Good morning, Yueyue!"
When Yueyue saw her father, her eyes lit up and she said in a baby voice, "Good morning, Dad!"
Zhou Ziwen picked up little Yueyue, walked out of the room and came to the yard.
While he was playing with Yueyue, he was doing some simple warm-up exercises.
Little Yueyue was amused by her father and laughed continuously, waving her little hands.
After exercising, Zhou Ziwen walked into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
He turned on the stove, added some firewood, and started to boil water.
Then he took out some flour and eggs from the cupboard and prepared to make omelets.
He skillfully mixed the flour and water together, added eggs and appropriate amount of salt, and stirred well.
Next, he poured some oil into the pan, waited for the oil to heat up, poured the batter into the pan, and spread it into a thin pancake.
After a while, the golden egg pancakes were ready.
Zhou Ziwen brought the omelet to the table and heated up some leftover dumplings and soup from last night.
At this time, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying also woke up. They smelled the aroma of food and walked out of the room.
"Brother Ziwen, you made breakfast! It smells so good!" Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.
"Well, please sit down and eat." Zhou Ziwen said.
The family sat around the table and started to eat breakfast.
Little Yueyue sat in Zhou Ziwen's arms and ate omelet happily.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying looked at the warm scene, their hearts filled with happiness.
"Brother Ziwen, do we have any plans for today?" Chen Qiaoyi asked.
"I'm going to go to the ginseng field later. When spring comes, the ginseng in the field should be almost ripe.
"I'm going to go to the ginseng field later. After the spring comes, the ginseng in the field should be almost ripe, so we have to prepare in advance." Zhou Ziwen said.
"Then let's go together. It's a good opportunity to go out for a walk." Chen Shiying suggested.
"Okay, let's go together." Chen Qiaoyi also agreed.
After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen packed up his things and took Chen Qiaoyi, Chen Shiying, Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan to the ginseng field.
Along the way, little Yueyue was like a cheerful little bird, asking questions all the time, and Zhou Ziwen and the two sisters patiently answered her questions.
When he arrived at the ginseng field, Zhou Ziwen carefully checked the growth of the ginseng.
The ginseng leaves sway gently in the breeze, looking vibrant.
Zhou Ziwen squatted down, gently moved the soil around the ginseng, and checked the ginseng roots.
"Brother Ziwen, how are these ginsengs growing?" Chen Qiaoyi asked.
"So far, they're growing well. However, they still need some careful care to ensure they mature smoothly," Zhou Ziwen said. (End of this chapter)
