After confirming again and again that Zhou Ziwen really didn't want to be a nurse, Wu Dagang gave up.
But he thought it was better not to go, because if he didn't work as a hygienist, Zhou Ziwen could concentrate on growing mushrooms.
For the village, it is okay to lose a health worker, but it cannot lose people who can grow mushrooms.
Thanks to the mushroom growing project, the village’s income can more than double next year.
After chatting with Zhou Ziwen for a few words, seeing that it was getting late, Wu Dagang said goodbye and left.
Zhou Ziwen was unwilling to take the position, so they had to go back and discuss who to send for training.
"Brother Ziwen, don't you think it's a pity not to be a medical worker?" Chen Qiaoyi asked after Wu Dagang left.
When Zhou Ziwen and Wu Dagang were talking just now, neither of the two Chen sisters spoke.
It was only after Wu Dagang left that they showed some concern.
"Being a medical worker is so tiring. You have to get up early and go to work late, and you have to go to work even when there are no patients. I would be stupid to do it." Zhou Ziwen shook his head.
"Hehe, so it seems that being a hygienist really doesn't have any benefits." Chen Qiaoyi giggled and unconditionally supported her man.
"That's right!" Zhou Ziwen pinched his wife's nose and started playing with her.
"It started again!" Looking at the two people playing, Chen Shiying sighed.
Since getting married, the two of them have become more and more unscrupulous in front of her.
The key point is that she can't say anything, after all, it is legal.
Where can she seek justice?
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen was also a person who could read the expressions of his sister-in-law. Seeing that his sister-in-law was a little embarrassed, Zhou Ziwen took his wife back to his home.
When he gets home, he has plenty of time to play games.
…
Nothing happened that night. The next day, after getting up from bed and having breakfast, Zhou Ziwen started busying himself in the yard.
He had prepared the flagstones for paving the yard yesterday. Now he needs to clean up the yard and lay the flagstones.
"Brother Ziwen, is there anything I can help you with?"
Seeing Zhou Ziwen busying himself there, the two Chen sisters came over to help.
"I'm enough here, you guys should go and grind the mill!" Zhou Ziwen looked at the two sisters' small bodies and wisely shook his head to refuse.
He didn't mind the two sisters helping him, but the stone slabs he used to pave the yard were a bit thick. With the two sisters' strength, it was very difficult to move one slab. With that kind of time, it would be better for him to do it himself.
As for the Chen sisters, they can do other things!
For example, if the grain distributed by the village needs to be ground, it can be done in advance.
The stone mill at home is not big, which is just right for the two sisters to use. It is better to arrange them to push the mill than to move stones here.
"Okay, then let's grind the corn into powder first." Chen Shiying said.
Seeing the two sisters start to get busy together, Zhou Ziwen continued with his own work.
To lay flagstones in the yard, you need to turn over the soil in the yard first, and then lay the flagstones on it.
This job was not complicated for Zhou Ziwen. It only took him more than an hour to clean up the yard.
Next comes the paving of the stone slabs.
The stone slabs were laid neatly in the yard, with only the smoothest side exposed.
Soon, after a morning, Zhou Ziwen had paved his entire yard with stone slabs.
His craftsmanship is very good, and every piece of stone he mined is very smooth.
The stone slabs fit together tightly, which looks pleasing to the eye.
"Now, we don't have to worry about getting muddy after the rain."
Stepping on the clean stone slabs, Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
"Brother Ziwen, the yard looks so beautiful with the stone slabs on it!" Chen Qiaoyi seemed very happy looking at the clean stone slabs on the ground.
Even Tayun was running around in the yard having fun.
"Well, as long as it looks good, I'll also do some work on Sister Shiying's yard in the afternoon." Zhou Ziwen was very satisfied with his masterpiece.
"Ziwen, thank you." Chen Shiying looked at Zhou Ziwen happily and did not refuse as before.
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi are married and they are now a real family.
Family members don’t have to speak with each other’s tongues, and there’s no need to be as polite as before.
"It's okay." Zhou Ziwen chuckled and shook his head.
While the Chen sisters were cooking at home, Zhou Ziwen took Tayun to the mountains.
When he reached the valley, he checked several traps again, but there was still nothing.
"It seems the trap is too low-level to catch prey."
Zhou Ziwen frowned, but he was not discouraged.
Using traps to catch prey is a matter of luck. His traps are relatively simple, so it is normal that he cannot catch any prey.
On the way down the mountain and back, he also picked some delicious wild vegetables.
A fisherman will never come back empty-handed, and neither will a hunter like him.
Even if you can't harvest any prey, it would be nice to pick some wild vegetables and bring them back.
When they got home, the Chen sisters had just finished cooking.
Today we had pork ribs stewed with dried cowpeas.
The dried cowpeas were a local specialty brought by the villagers to the last wedding banquet.
As the weather outside is getting colder, it's just right to eat some stew.
"Sister, how much meat is left at home?"
Zhou Ziwen asked while eating.
"Not much, about thirty pounds." Chen Shiying said.
She is in charge of all the household belongings and knows everything there is.
"Looks like we need to get some more prey." Zhou Ziwen touched his chin.
He doesn't need much, he only needs a wild boar to achieve the freedom of eating meat.
But in a while, it will snow outside, and it will be inconvenient to go out.
So if you want to get meat, you have to do it in the near future.
"Ziwen, don't be too tired. We don't have to work in winter anyway. The worst that can happen is that we don't eat meat." Chen Shiying advised.
"Well, I'll go to the mountain in a few days to check. If I really can't catch any prey, then forget it." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
He felt that if he continued to go deeper into the mountains, it would be easy to encounter prey.
If it were an ordinary person, even if he encountered prey, he might not be its opponent. But Zhou Ziwen was different. The eighth-level Bajiquan gave him strong confidence. Even if it was a tiger, he dared to go up and fight it alone.
If he didn't have the confidence in his heart, he wouldn't dare to run to the mountains so often.
And even if he doesn't encounter those large beasts, he can ask Tayun for help and find some rabbit holes on the mountain.
If you kill more rabbits, you can survive this winter.
After lunch, Zhou Ziwen did not rest, but continued to pave the yard with stone slabs, but this time the yard was on Chen Shiying's side.
After a busy afternoon, Zhou Ziwen finally paved the yards of the two houses with stone slabs.
"The next step is to lay the boards in the house."
Zhou Ziwen is a bit restless and always wants to make his living environment better.
However, laying the floor requires carpentry skills, which he has not yet mastered. He needs to wait until his skill level is improved. (End of this chapter)
