The leisurely fishing time always passes quickly. When the time was almost up, Zhou Ziwen put away his fishing rod and got up to go home.
The catch from this fishing trip was not much. After more than an hour, I only caught some small fish, the largest of which weighed only about 8 taels.
Compared with the harvest in summer, the harvest in winter is far worse.
But that's also why the river hasn't frozen. If it were colder, the river would freeze, and we could dig a hole in the ice, which would yield a lot of rewards.
When they returned home, the Chen sisters, Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi had already packed their things and were ready to leave at any time.
Zhou Ziwen didn't delay and put down his fishing gear and set off with them.
They knew the location of Zhang Yang's house. It was actually not far from them. They were from the same village and could be reached in a few minutes.
Today is the wedding of Zhang Yang’s brother Zhang Lei, but they haven’t separated yet and still live with their parents.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Ziwen saw Zhang Yang busy in the yard.
His younger brother is getting married, so as the eldest brother, he must help receive the guests.
Although it is still early, some guests have already arrived. After all, everyone is idle at home and has long wanted to go out for a walk.
"Ziwen, Xiaochen, Dachen, Xiaozhou, and Shen Zhiqing, you are here. Come in quickly. It's cold outside."
As soon as he saw Zhou Ziwen and the others, Zhang Yang hurried out to greet them.
Coming out with him was today's groom.
"Team Leader Zhou, thank you for your help." Zhang Lei also said.
Compared with Zhang Yang, Zhang Lei seems a little dull, but Zhou Ziwen has also heard of him. Although Zhang Lei is a little dull, he works very hard and never cheats.
He has always been working in the first team and is one of the main laborers in the village.
"It's no trouble, Brother Lei, just call me Ziwen. We came here to join in the fun today, so don't be bothered by us!" Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"It's no trouble, no trouble. I'm the one who's bothering you." Zhang Lei explained hurriedly.
"Haha, I'm also a member of Dabazi Village. We are all family, so don't be so polite. Brother Lei, look at me today, I promise I won't let you lose face."
Zhou Ziwen also realized that Zhang Lei was not the kind of person who was good at talking, so he simply stopped being polite with him.
"Thank you Zhou... Ziwen." Zhang Lei hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Then, the Chen sisters and Zhou Chaoyang behind him also congratulated Zhang Lei, and Zhang Lei quickly responded and welcomed their arrival.
Led by brothers Zhang Yang and Zhang Lei, Zhou Ziwen and others came into the house.
As soon as they entered the house, a wave of heat hit them. There were several stoves lit in the house, and the temperature inside was even higher than that of the air conditioner.
"Xiao Zhou is here! We heard you're cooking today, and we've all been waiting!"
As soon as I entered the house, an aunt from the village started talking with a smile.
"Aunt Zhang, you are here too!" Zhou Ziwen greeted with a smile.
"I'm Lei Zi's second aunt. Today is his big day, so I must come!" Aunt Zhang knew that Zhou Ziwen was not very familiar with the relationships in the village, so she started to explain.
Although Zhou Ziwen knew most of the people in the village, he didn't know much about the relationships between them.
After all, their ancestors have lived in the village for generations, and they are all relatives when they go out. If you really want to understand them, it will not be figured out in a short time.
“So there’s this connection!”
Zhou Ziwen sighed.
"Haha, many people in our village are relatives, but some are closer and some are more distant."
Aunt Zhang explained with a smile.
"Brother Zhang, it's getting late, I'll start cooking." Zhou Ziwen said to Zhang Yang.
"Okay, then I'll take you to the kitchen." Zhang Yang said hurriedly.
Because there are many people living in Zhang Yang's house, it is bigger, and even the kitchen is bigger than the one in Zhou Ziwen's house.
When he arrived at the kitchen, the cooking ingredients had already been prepared. Zhou Ziwen took a quick look and found that there were quite a lot of meat dishes.
There is pork, sika deer meat, fish, eggs, and some vegetarian dishes.
In other words, Zhang Yang is a member of the guard team and his family is relatively wealthy, otherwise he would not be able to get so much meat.
"That's great, Brother Zhang, there's so much meat." Zhou Ziwen praised.
"Haha, there's no meat here. This sika deer meat is thanks to you." Zhang Yang explained with a smile, but there was a smug expression on his face.
He also felt that this was a very face-enhancing thing.
Seeing these raw materials, Zhou Ziwen thought about it and soon had an idea.
"Brother Zhang, I'm going to braise the pork with potatoes, stew the sika deer meat with radishes, make a soup with the fish, and stir-fry the eggs with leeks. And these are the vegetables..."
Zhou Ziwen expressed his thoughts.
After all, he is here to help with cooking, and the host has the final say on what dishes to cook.
"Ziwen, you are an expert in this area, just do it as you see fit." Zhang Yang said simply.
He knew Zhou Ziwen's cooking skills and was very grateful that he could invite him to help cook. How could he ask for more?
Besides, as he said, Zhou Ziwen is the expert. How can he, who can't even cook, understand the ins and outs of this?
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Zhou Ziwen nodded, but he had a great liking for Zhang Yang in his heart.
"Ziwen, thank you for your help," Zhang Yang said.
"It's okay, we are all grown men, don't be so polite." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.
"Haha, you're right." Zhang Yang laughed heartily.
As the eldest brother, Zhang Yang was quite busy. He didn't chat much with Zhou Ziwen. He just explained the kitchen materials and tools and left in a hurry.
In the kitchen, the Chen sisters and Shen Zhaodi followed Zhou Ziwen and helped him.
Several aunts and grandmas in the house also came in to help.
The kitchen becomes quite lively with the presence of a few aunts and grandmas.
"Team Leader Zhou, how do we prepare this dish? Do we need to wash it all?"
"Zhou Zhiqing, you need to cut this meat, right? Let me do it."
"Xiao Zhou..."
The aunties and grandmas called Zhou Ziwen differently. Those who were not familiar with him called him Team Leader Zhou, those who were more familiar with him called him Zhou Zhiqing, and those who were closer to him just called him Xiao Zhou.
Zhou Ziwen didn't care what they called him. He was busy cooking while chatting with them.
You know what, these aunties and grandmas have a lot of gossip.
During the production team's holiday, there were many happy events in the village.
Young men and women of age are busy going on blind dates.
The enthusiastic aunts and grandmas were also worried about it. One introduced her own girls, and another introduced her nephew next door. Although the holiday had not been over for long, they were already very busy.
It’s no wonder that they have facilitated many marriages during this period.
"Da Chen, your sister is married. Do you want me to introduce you to someone?"
An aunt took a fancy to Chen Shiying and planned to introduce her to someone.
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ziwen on the side paused.
Seeing this scene, Chen Shiying next to her smiled with her beautiful eyes.
"Aunt Niu, I'm not in a hurry yet." (End of this chapter)
