Chapter 29: Deterrence
Zhou Ziwen carried two large water jars and returned home from the village entrance.
Along the way, everyone was talking about them and looking at them with more enthusiasm.
Of course, there are also petty people who envy their wealth and can't help but say a few sour words.
But at the same time, they also had a clear understanding of Zhou Ziwen's strength and did not dare to have any bad ideas about them.
After all, the sight of Zhou Ziwen carrying two water tanks weighing dozens of kilograms with his hands flat and easy was indeed quite shocking.
Zhou Ziwen did this on purpose in order to intimidate villagers with bad intentions.
Silently telling everyone, don't play any tricks on them. Before playing tricks, think about whether his fist is strong enough.
"Aunt Xu, it's time to get off work! Have you eaten yet?"
"Uncle Niu, are you planning to go fishing? I'll join you in a couple of days!"
…
Along the way, Zhou Ziwen greeted the villagers happily.
He has a good relationship with people. Although he has only been in Dabazi Village for a few days, he knows quite a few people.
For example, the older men who worked with him had developed a deep friendship with him.
Of course, this is also because he occasionally gives cigarettes to his fellow workers.
After all, who can refuse a generous, kind and ambitious young man!
"Haha, fishing is not difficult. I know a very good spot. I will take you there when the time comes." Uncle Niu laughed heartily.
"Okay, it's settled then." Zhou Ziwen said happily.
However, he couldn't go fishing for the time being, as he had only bought fish hooks and fishing lines, and was still missing a fishing rod.
He plans to go to the bamboo forest on the mountain tomorrow to look for some bamboo suitable for making fishing rods.
"Brother Ziwen, why are the people in the village so enthusiastic towards you?" Chen Qiaoyi asked enviously.
She also wants everyone to be so enthusiastic towards her!
"There's no special skill to this! Maybe it's because I'm just too good-looking and likable." Zhou Ziwen narcissistically shook his hair.
"Hehe, Brother Ziwen is really handsome!" Chen Qiaoyi said happily.
"Oh..." Looking at the two people whose relationship was becoming increasingly close, Chen Shiying couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that her sister has completely fallen into it.
She felt that she should keep a closer eye on her sister to prevent her from making mistakes that she shouldn't have made.
Being stared at by Chen Shiying like this, Zhou Ziwen, who was walking in front, felt his scalp tingling. When he turned around, he met Chen Shiying's deep eyes.
"Sister, is there something wrong?" Zhou Ziwen asked in confusion.
"It's okay! Watch the road carefully and don't break my tank." Chen Shiying rolled her eyes.
She felt that she had become even more worried since Zhou Ziwen started dating her sister.
"Don't worry, sister. This tank is very easy for me to use. I guarantee it won't get bumped or scratched." Zhou Ziwen said confidently.
Zhou Ziwen has become accustomed to calling Chen Shiying "sister".
It’s just calling each other sister, who knows who will call whom in the future!
…
After returning home, Zhou Ziwen first delivered a large vat to the Chen sisters' home, and then diligently helped them fill the vat with water.
After all, they are all a family now, and he eats together with the two sisters. It is reasonable that he should be the one to fetch the water.
Look, seeing how hard he worked to carry water, the two sisters looked at him with much more moisture in their eyes.
He waited until the Chen sisters finished their work before returning home and filling his own water tank.
In fact, he's only had a fire in the kitchen once since moving here.
This was done because they moved to a new house and needed to start a fire to bring good luck.
Otherwise, his stove would be of no use at all.
While the Chen sisters were cooking, Zhou Ziwen also started to get busy.
The most important thing now is to cultivate the land in the yard first.
But before he could start cultivating the land, he had to prepare the hoe.
When he went to the county town today, he did buy a hoe, but it was only the hoe head, not the hoe handle.
Rural families make their own hoe handles and other things, so they don't spend money to buy them.
So now he was going to go find some suitable hoe handles.
This thing is not uncommon in rural areas. There are not many other things in rural areas, but there are many trees. You can just find two suitable trees outside and cut them down.
So, before the Chen sisters had finished their meal, Zhou Ziwen came back from outside dragging some very beautiful white wax stalks.
The ash tree is most suitable for making hoe handles. Its trunk is not only hard and durable, but also not easy to crack.
The tree trunks that have just been cut down need to be processed.
Generally speaking, you need to soak it in water for a few days to allow it to fully absorb water.
Then it is dried in the sun, and can be used after the tree trunk is completely shaped.
However, Zhou Ziwen was in a hurry to reclaim the land and couldn't wait to prepare it, so he used it directly.
Anyway, he cut down several ash sticks this time, so he would use one temporarily and replace it if there was any problem later.
"Qiaoqiao, bring your hoe here, I'll make a hoe handle for you." Zhou Ziwen shouted at the door of the Chen sisters.
"Hey, I'm coming." Chen Qiaoyi responded from inside, and soon came out with two hoes.
"Yiyi, wait for me for a moment, the hoe will be ready soon." It was a rare opportunity to be alone with his beautiful girlfriend, so Zhou Ziwen certainly didn't want her to leave so soon.
Although there is nothing I can do in broad daylight, I can feel happier having a beautiful girl by my side.
It doesn't take much time to make a hoe. He has all the parts and materials. He just needs to churn the handle of the hoe into a square and fix it with a wood chip.
In less than half an hour, three complete hoes were ready.
"Brother Ziwen, you are awesome."
Although making a hoe is a very small thing for Zhou Ziwen, it seems very impressive to Chen Qiaoyi.
Chen Qiaoyi couldn't help but feel proud when she thought about having such a great partner.
"Baji!"
To reward Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi quickly kissed him on the face.
But then he felt too shy, so he covered his face and ran away quickly, forgetting even to take the hoe back.
"Hey, this girl actually took advantage of me." Zhou Ziwen touched the face that had been kissed and felt a little regretful. He should have kept her.
A vengeful person like him would definitely not give back when someone takes advantage of him.
Not only should it be paid back, but it should be paid back double.
On the other side, Chen Shiying looked at her sister who hurried back to the room, and was a little confused about what she was doing.
"Yiyi, the meal is ready. Go and call your brother Ziwen to come over for dinner!" Chen Shiying shouted.
"Ah?" Chen Qiaoyi was a little confused.
"What? Go quickly!" Chen Shiying urged.
"Oh, okay."
Thinking about the secret kiss she had just given her, Chen Qiaoyi couldn't help but blush.
She hasn't figured out how to face them yet!
