Chapter 19 Treat
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen borrowed a cart from Uncle Wu’s house, took the pots, pans, and other things he would need for tomorrow, and went to the new house with the Chen sisters.
When passing by the Youth League Home, I happened to meet the male Youth League team leader Chen Yang standing at the door.
"Brother Chen, have you eaten?" Zhou Ziwen greeted him with a smile.
"I just ate. What are you doing?" Chen Yang asked with a smile, as if he knew the answer.
"Our house will be having its beams put up tomorrow, so I thought I'd move some things here first to avoid a rush tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen stopped in his tracks. Since they met here, it would be a shame not to chat for a while.
Although he stopped, Zhou Ziwen still held the cart with his hands, as if he was ready to leave at any time.
"You are really thoughtful. We were just talking about the beam-laying project for your house!" Chen Yang walked towards them, and it seemed that he wanted to chat more.
"Oh, are you discussing dinner? Have you discussed it?" Zhou Ziwen raised his eyebrows and directly pointed out the purpose of Chen Yang talking to them.
"You, Comrade Chen Shiying and Comrade Chen Qiaoyi were the first among us educated youth to build a house. We must come to celebrate such a big happy event." Chen Yang said enthusiastically.
"Thank you all for your support, but we don't have much food, so I'll have to trouble you to bring your own food."
When it came to asking them to bring their own food, Zhou Ziwen didn't feel embarrassed at all. After all, the production team only advanced them three months' worth of food.
To be honest, this amount of food is not enough for him to eat alone.
Although he had a way to get food and didn't mind treating others, he was not a selfless good man.
Even if he treated everyone to a meal, he had to let the people in the Youth League know that he was not a sucker and that he welcomed those who came to show their genuine support. But if anyone came to take advantage, they would have to pay a price.
In fact, even if he brought his own food, Zhou Ziwen would still be the one at a loss, after all, he had to buy meat and wine, all of which required money.
However, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters didn't care. They were different from other educated youth. They were rich and would not care about such a small matter.
"Of course, of course. We are here to celebrate with you and we can't let you suffer any loss." Chen Yang said nicely.
Chen Yang is indeed a man with high emotional intelligence. No matter what others think, at least what he says is pleasant to the ears. Otherwise, he would not have become the captain of the male educated youth team.
"Okay, it's getting late, I won't chat with you for now. Let's wait until tomorrow, and then we can have a couple of drinks tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen also said different things to different people. He was also very enthusiastic towards Chen Yang. People who didn't know him would think they were good friends!
"Then you guys go ahead and do your work. We will definitely be there tomorrow." Chen Yang smiled and nodded.
Watching Zhou Ziwen and Chen Yang's pleasant conversation, the Chen sisters remained silent.
Even the more lively Chen Qiaoyi didn't say a word.
Obviously, because of their previous experiences, they are more resistant to the people in the Youth League Institute.
Of course, they excluded the old educated youth, but were quite friendly to the new educated youth.
Zhou Ziwen knew that during the time they spent in the countryside, they got along very well with several female educated youth in the same team.
After arriving at the new house, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters started to get busy.
Zhou Ziwen put all the pots, pans, and other things in the kitchen.
These are for tomorrow.
In addition, he also pulled the cart to the village and exchanged some wood with a familiar aunt, which would also be used tomorrow.
"Brother Zhou, do you think we should build a temporary stove outside? If we cook in the kitchen, I'm afraid it will affect their beam raising."
When Zhou Ziwen came back, Chen Shiying found him and said.
"Well, this is indeed a problem. Let me go to the river and fetch some stones. We can cook outside for now." Zhou Ziwen nodded and immediately started to act.
If Chen Shiying hadn't reminded him, he would never have thought about this problem.
He was thinking about cooking at home and almost forgot that it would interfere with the upper beam.
But now that the problem has been discovered, it's easy to solve.
Before it got dark, Zhou Ziwen ran to the nearby river, picked up some stones, and built a simple stove in the yard.
Anyway, it's just for temporary use, so it doesn't need to be very beautiful.
Soon, the Chen sisters cleaned up their house and came to help him.
"It seems that our house is lacking a lot of things. We don't even have buckets or water tanks." After finishing the work, Zhou Ziwen stretched and said.
"Yes, I also feel that there are a lot of things that need to be purchased!" Chen Qiaoyi also agreed.
"Let's buy it slowly later. After all, this is a new house and we can't get everything ready in a short time." Chen Shiying was quite satisfied with the new home.
Although the house was not very good, it was their own house after all.
"A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse, right?" Zhou Ziwen joked with a smile.
"Your house is a doghouse." Chen Shiying rolled her eyes.
This is because she is familiar with Zhou Ziwen, otherwise you would never see her like this.
I have to say that sometimes the charm revealed unintentionally is more attractive.
Because they left some things in the house, they also locked the door when they left.
Although it's not something important, locking the door will be safer.
Of course, if someone really wants to steal it, a lock alone is definitely useless. Since there is nothing important inside, they can just steal it.
Zhou Ziwen asked the Chen sisters to go home first, and he wanted to take a bath in the river.
Fortunately, it is summer now and we can take a bath by the river, otherwise it would not be so convenient.
By the time he finished his shower and returned to the Wu family, it was already dark.
Zhou Ziwen lay on the bed and looked at the auto-switch panel.
【Bajiquan LV4(36/400)】
【Cooking Level 4 (1/400)】
After raising his cooking skills to level four, he put Bajiquan back on track.
After all, level four cooking skills are equivalent to those of a newly graduated chef, and it will take more than a day or two to upgrade.
The body is the capital of revolution. Compared with cooking skills, he still thinks Bajiquan is more important.
As for cooking skills, he plans to wait until the second idle position is opened.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, before dawn, Zhou Ziwen got out of bed, put on his clothes and prepared to go to the county town.
The village oxcart only leaves the village at seven or eight o'clock. If you wait for the oxcart, you will definitely not be able to buy meat in the county.
In order to buy meat, Zhou Ziwen also tried his best.
I looked at the time and it was not yet five o'clock.
He came to the Chen sisters' room and knocked on their door.
After waiting for a while without any response, just as he was about to knock on the door for the second time, the door was opened.
The person who opened the door was Chen Shiying.
"Brother Zhou, wait a moment, my little sister is getting up."
"Don't worry, I need to clean up too." Zhou Ziwen nodded, then turned around to deal with personal issues.
