Chapter 24 Partnering Up
"Yiyi, sister, I'm going to take a leave tomorrow to go to the county town again. Do you want to go with me?"
After moving to a new house, there are a lot of things that need to be purchased. What I bought before is not enough.
"Yeah, I also noticed that we're still missing a lot of things at home." Chen Shiying nodded and asked, "What are you planning to buy? Let's check with each other and try to buy everything at once to avoid the trouble of running back and forth."
It seems that Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying had the same idea. After moving, the first thing they wanted to do was to get all the household items ready to make their future life more convenient.
As for the production team, I can only continue to ask for leave.
The most urgent thing now is to improve the house we live in.
After the three of them discussed it, they found that there were quite a few things to buy.
The most important things are water tanks and buckets. Today, when they were cooking, they borrowed buckets from their neighbors.
"It's just that the water tank is too big and we can't get it back!" Having said that, the two sisters looked at Zhou Ziwen at the same time.
Zhou Ziwen immediately understood what they meant and immediately patted his chest to assure them, "No problem, leave it to me. How heavy are the water tanks? I can easily screw them back in place with one hand each."
He was not lying. Ever since he reached the fourth level in Bajiquan, his strength had increased tremendously. He could lift things weighing hundreds of pounds in his hands as if it were a piece of cake.
A water tank weighs no more than thirty to fifty kilograms, so it is no problem to turn two with one hand.
"Thank you very much. You know, there are only two women in our family. If it weren't for your help, we don't know what to do." Chen Shiying thanked him.
"Hey, sister, this is where you're wrong. Yiyi is my girlfriend now, and we're a family. There's no need to thank me. Just come to me if you have any problems in the future." Zhou Ziwen said with some dissatisfaction.
Although Zhou Ziwen is a little older than Chen Shiying, the word "sister" has become more common for her.
It’s just calling me sister, no one will care.
Even in the village, there are many adults calling children "Grandpa"!
"Hehe, I knew that Brother Ziwen is the best." Chen Qiaoyi on the side looked at Zhou Ziwen with a smile, her eyes full of love.
"By the way, in addition to the water tank and bucket, I also plan to buy farm tools such as a hoe and a sickle."
"Now that we have our own house, we need to quickly cultivate the land. We can also grow some seasonal vegetables this season so that we don't have to keep going to other people's houses to trade for them."
Zhou Ziwen had already thought about reclaiming the land. It was better to do it sooner rather than later. He planned to reclaim the land in the yard tomorrow and plant vegetables.
As for farm tools, he could have borrowed them from the production team, but he thought it was too troublesome, so he decided to buy them himself. He didn't mind the money anyway.
"Well, we do need to buy a hoe and a sickle, so it's a good idea to buy some vegetable seedlings so that we don't have to make another trip later." After hearing this, Chen Shiying added.
Next, the three of them began to discuss what else they needed to buy for the house.
By the time they had finished their discussion, the villagers had already left work.
"Brother Ziwen, why don't we just eat together? It's too troublesome for you to cook by yourself." Chen Qiaoyi suddenly said.
"This..." Zhou Ziwen was a little moved when he heard this.
Although he can cook and his cooking skills are pretty good, as Chen Qiaoyi said, it is too troublesome for him to cook alone, so it would be better for him to cook with the Chen sisters.
However, what he and Chen Qiaoyi said didn't count, Chen Shiying had to approve it.
"Well, Yiyi is right. It's a bit troublesome for you to cook by yourself. You might as well eat with us." Chen Shiying glared at her sister secretly, but still nodded in agreement.
"Is it too much trouble for you?" Seeing Chen Shiying agreed so readily, Zhou Ziwen felt a little embarrassed.
"What's the trouble? It's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks. It depends on whether you can get used to the food I cook." Chen Shiying glanced at Zhou Ziwen.
Obviously, she also felt that Zhou Ziwen was taking advantage of the situation.
"Hehe, I'm used to it, I'm used to it. The food my sister cooks is the best." Zhou Ziwen complimented with a smile.
"Oh, I really owe you guys." Chen Shiying sighed unhappily.
Zhou Ziwen fully agreed with the idea of eating together.
Because this way he doesn't have to cook.
It feels so good to have food served to you every day!
As for whether there will be gossip in the village, there is no need to worry about it.
Anyway, he was already dating Chen Qiaoyi, so what was wrong with them eating together? If anyone dared to gossip about them, they would see how powerful his fists were.
In his heart, Chen Qiaoyi is already his wife, which means they are too young, otherwise they could have gotten married directly.
In this era, getting married is very quick. As long as you are attracted to each other, you can hire a matchmaker, have both parents meet, and get married within a few days.
There are even cases where parents decide on a date directly without even meeting the couple and get them married right away.
Seeing that it was getting late, the Chen sisters went home and started cooking.
Zhou Ziwen went out and went to Uncle Wu's house.
They are moving out today, so they have to tell others about it and ask for leave and say that they don't have to go to work tomorrow.
"Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu, I'm here!"
When he arrived at Uncle Wu's house, Zhou Ziwen did not go in, but shouted at the door.
Now that I have moved out of Uncle Wu's house, I can't go in directly like before. It's a matter of etiquette.
"You kid, just come in when you arrive. Why are you being so formal?" Uncle Wu's voice came from inside the room.
"Hehe!" Zhou Ziwen scratched the back of his head and smiled foolishly.
"Tell me, why did you come to see me?" After spending some time together, Wu Dagang also understood Zhou Ziwen's character.
He wouldn't come if he knew everything was fine.
"Hi, we're moving today. I came to tell you that thanks to your care during this period, we wouldn't even have a place to live." Zhou Ziwen said.
"These are just small matters. I'm glad to be able to help you. Now that you've come to the countryside, you should live a good life. I think you and Xiao Chen are all good people, unlike the other educated youth who work like they're dying, cheating and slacking off all day, and not doing their jobs properly."
Wu Dagang waved his hand and gave a serious instruction.
"Uncle Wu, don't worry. We are different from other educated youth. We will work honestly in the future and will never cheat or slack off." Zhou Ziwen promised.
"Oh, I wish other educated youth were like you." Wu Dagang sighed.
To be honest, he was quite satisfied with the performance of Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters during this period, but the more satisfied he was, the more he disliked other educated youth.
"Uncle Wu, are you in trouble?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
