Chapter 142 Sending a Watch
The busy day passed quickly.
After work, Zhou Ziwen and others went home.
On the way back, Zhou Ziwen said to Chen Shiying, "Sister, the kimchi we made two days ago should be ready. Let's take it out and try it today!"
"Okay, I'll go take a look later." Chen Shiying nodded.
The kimchi has been soaked for several days and is basically flavorful. You can taste it.
However, there wasn't much in their kimchi jars. The only edible ingredients were carrots. As for pickled peppers and ginger, they were used for cooking.
Zhou Ziwen thought that it would be appropriate to soak some other things in it. Anyway, the taste of the kimchi has been adjusted, and the only thing left is to fill it with ingredients.
Foods like cabbage and cowpea can be made into pickles. After soaking for a day or two, you can take them out and have an extra dish to go with rice.
In fact, during the time they were in the countryside, they had no shortage of kimchi to eat, but those kimchi were exchanged with the villagers.
What belongs to others is always theirs. It is definitely not as convenient or delicious as what belongs to you.
This is a psychological effect, just like the food you cook yourself. The taste may be average, but you just think it’s delicious and it whets your appetite.
Although it was a busy day today, it wasn't tiring at all. Zhou Ziwen wasn't the only one, and even the Chen sisters were only slightly busy, but their work was pretty easy.
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen found an opportunity to call Chen Qiaoyi to his home.
"Brother Ziwen, what are you doing? If my sister sees me leaving with you, she will laugh at me when I go back." Chen Qiaoyi's heart beat faster.
Whenever Zhou Ziwen called her home alone, nothing good happened.
"Nothing, just a gift for you." Zhou Ziwen said with a relaxed smile.
"What gift?" Chen Qiaoyi was delighted, but then, as if remembering something, her smile gradually faded, replaced by a look of distress. "You're not buying a watch, are you?"
"You girl, you are too smart to be cute." Zhou Ziwen pinched her nose and said helplessly.
"You really bought it!" Chen Qiaoyi pushed Zhou Ziwen's hand away and asked in surprise.
"Here, this is the gift I bought for you." Seeing that the surprise he had prepared was gone, Zhou Ziwen didn't bother to be mysterious and directly took out the watch from under the pillow.
"Oh, didn't I say I didn't want it? Why did you buy it?" Chen Qiaoyi grumbled dissatisfiedly, but still took the watch honestly, with a smile inadvertently appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Although she somewhat blamed Zhou Ziwen for spending money recklessly, she was also very touched. After all, this watch was a token of Zhou Ziwen's love.
The fact that he gave her a watch before they got married was enough to prove her position in Zhou Ziwen's heart.
"You don't like it?" Zhou Ziwen didn't care about anything else and asked directly while staring into Chen Qiaoyi's eyes.
"I like it." Chen Qiaoyi nodded quickly without hesitation.
"Haha, as long as you like it." Zhou Ziwen took Chen Qiaoyi's hand and said, "Come, I'll help you put it on."
"Yeah." Chen Qiaoyi immediately became obedient.
Zhou Ziwen took the girl's hand in front of him and carefully put the watch on her.
At last, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "It looks pretty good."
"Thank you, Brother Ziwen." Chen Qiaoyi took the initiative to hug his neck, looking touched.
This time, Zhou Ziwen was no longer polite. He responded instantly and his hands began to slide.
…
…
Zhou Ziwen had a very comfortable night. As for Chen Qiaoyi, she didn't return home until midnight.
Originally, Zhou Ziwen asked her to stay and not go back tonight, but the girl was stubborn and said that she could not spend the night with him before getting married.
Helpless, Zhou Ziwen had to send her back home.
Fortunately, it was the middle of the night and there were not many people around, otherwise, when I woke up the next day, I would be filled with their gossip.
The next day, Zhou Ziwen got up from bed feeling refreshed.
He felt that this kind of life was really good. The only pity was that he and Chen's younger sister had not yet officially married, and he did not have a wife and children to live in a warm home.
When he went to the Chen sisters' house for dinner in the morning, Chen Shiying looked at him with a complicated look.
There was resentment and blame in his eyes, as well as recognition and happiness.
Zhou Ziwen gave a watch to his sister last night. She already knew about it. Although she felt it was a bit too expensive, she was mostly happy.
But it was the middle of the night, and their two houses were separated by a wall. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, some sounds could still be heard.
Especially yesterday, Chen Qiaoyi was probably too happy, so she just let herself go and didn't lower her voice.
How could she, a virgin girl who had never experienced anything in life, sleep when she heard the noise coming from her sister next door?
Look, when she woke up today, she still had dark circles under her eyes.
And when she saw Zhou Ziwen, her expression was a little unnatural.
After all, knowing is one thing, and hearing it with your own ears is another.
So throughout the morning, Chen Shiying looked at Zhou Ziwen with a strange look, and she was not as gentle to Chen Qiaoyi as before.
Zhou Ziwen understood it in his heart, but pretended not to know, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, whoever cares will be embarrassed.
As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Not surprisingly, he is qualified in terms of acting.
After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen, the Chen sisters, and Shen Zhaodi went to the mushroom house to work.
After the production team finished its morning meeting, a few more people went to the mushroom house with him.
They were the members assigned to him by the production team.
Because growing mushrooms is a technical job, the team leader specially selected young villagers with strong receptive abilities.
Among them were two women and four men.
Both women were from Dabazi Village. They had been married for a long time and even had children.
The captain has a clear plan. Even if the meat is rotten, it must be thrown into the pot.
Zhou Ziwen was not surprised by this. Since he had already learned the mushroom growing technology, he never thought of taking it back.
As long as you are willing to learn, he is willing to teach. Whether you can learn it or not is another matter. In any case, he will not keep it to himself.
The team leader's consideration was very correct. He wouldn't be staying in the countryside for a few more years anyway, and teaching his skills would not affect his status in the village.
Even because he doesn't keep it for himself, the villagers respect him more.
Zhou Ziwen knew some of these people and could call out their names, but he had only seen some of them but could not remember their names.
However, on the way to the Mushroom House, Zhou Ziwen got to know them again.
These people were very enthusiastic about Zhou Ziwen. I guess the captain had already communicated with them in advance.
This will also make it easier for Zhou Ziwen to do his next work.
When they arrived at the mushroom house, he began to arrange everyone's work.
Zhou Ziwen treats everyone equally, whether they are the Chen sisters or the new members.
When assigning work, there is at most a slight difference between men and women.
After all, men are stronger and women are more careful, he just arranges the tasks according to the situation.
