Chapter 33: Order Chicken
Before it got dark, Zhou Ziwen went to the river to fetch water and watered the seedlings in the field.
By the time I finished all this, it was already dark.
While there was still light outside, Zhou Ziwen went to the river to take a bath in the dark.
When he returned home, most of the houses in the village were dark, with only the stars in the sky twinkling and shining.
Zhou Ziwen had a very fulfilling day and felt full of a sense of accomplishment.
The feeling of building his own home step by step and making his life better makes him clearly feel that he has integrated into this era and cherishes his current life more.
Zhou Ziwen slept very soundly that night, and when he woke up the next day he was full of energy, as if he had endless strength.
After getting up, Zhou Ziwen went to the yard first to check the seedlings planted yesterday.
After a night of gestation, the seedlings in the field were covered with fresh dew and their leaves were green, as if they were not affected by the transplant.
However, Zhou Ziwen still took the trouble to water them again.
The temperature is relatively high in this season and the land is relatively short of water. If you are not careful, the crops will not survive.
Watering more may be a little troublesome, but it can help the seedlings grow better.
"Well, we're going to raise chickens soon, so we need to find a way to fence off this land, otherwise the chickens will eat the vegetables."
After watering, Zhou Ziwen stared at the lush seedlings and his thoughts began to drift away.
Before he even started raising chickens, he had already thought about the follow-up issues.
After practicing a few rounds of boxing in the yard, seeing that it was almost time, Zhou Ziwen went to the Chen sisters' home.
After a night, Chen Qiaoyi's mood had returned to normal. After seeing Zhou Ziwen, she called him "Brother Ziwen" affectionately.
As for what happened yesterday, I guess she has already forgotten it.
I have to say that this girl is really broad-minded, but it is precisely because of this character that she is so happy every day.
"Ziwen, the firewood at home is almost used up. If you have time today, go to the village and help exchange some!" Chen Shiying said during breakfast.
The three of them ate together, and although they didn't discuss much, they each did their own thing.
For example, cooking has always been the responsibility of the two sisters Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi.
As for Zhou Ziwen, he was responsible for doing some heavy physical work, such as fetching water and chopping firewood.
"No need to change. After work today, I'll go to the forest in the back mountain to get some firewood. It's no use always asking others to change." Zhou Ziwen said.
Although he didn't mind spending a little on firewood, he still tried to save as much as possible. Besides, he had been in the countryside for so long and hadn't even been to the back mountain!
He had found out everything about firewood. People usually went to the back mountain to collect them. There were a lot of leaves and dead branches in the mountain. As long as they didn't be lazy, there would be no shortage of firewood.
If you don't mind the trouble, you can also find some dead trees, cut them down and chop them up to use as firewood.
"Brother Ziwen, I'll go with you." When Chen Qiaoyi heard that Zhou Ziwen was going up the mountain, she immediately raised her hand to join.
How could she be absent from such a fun event?
"I heard that the back mountain is quite dangerous..." Chen Shiying was a little worried.
"It's okay. I'm not going deep into the woods. I'm just walking around the periphery. Many people in the village go to the forest to collect firewood, and they didn't say there was any danger." Zhou Ziwen comforted.
Although there are many ferocious beasts in the forest these days, that is only in the deep forest. There is no danger in the outer areas.
Zhou Ziwen had already found out about these things.
"Okay, then you guys be careful." Chen Shiying felt relieved after hearing Zhou Ziwen say this, but still asked him to be careful.
"Thank you, sister." Chen Qiaoyi cheered and thanked her sister happily.
"Behave yourself and listen to Ziwen when the time comes. Don't act naughty." Chen Shiying said with a stern face.
"Yes, I will definitely listen to Brother Ziwen." Chen Qiaoyi nodded obediently.
Brother Ziwen is her partner and will be her husband in the future, so she will definitely be obedient!
The three of them chatted while eating, and they looked like a happy family.
Although life is ordinary and without any excitement, it is just about family matters.
But this makes it more lively.
After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters chatted and laughed all the way to work.
As soon as he arrived at the production team, an old man came to Zhou Ziwen.
"Are you Zhou Zhiqing?"
"Yes, sir, what is your name?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
This old man is about sixty years old. At his age, he no longer needs to work in the production team.
In this day and age, being over sixty is considered a long life and one will be respected wherever they go.
"My last name is Wang, you can just call me Uncle Wang. Yesterday, the kid from the Li family told me that you were looking for chickens, right?" Uncle Wang grinned, revealing his sparse teeth.
"Oh, yes, you are Uncle Wang. I said I would visit your house today!" When Zhou Ziwen heard Jizai, he instantly understood who he was.
This Uncle Wang is the one Li Dazui talked to him about yesterday!
But he didn't expect that before he even went there, the other party would come to his door in person.
"Haha, what's the point of visiting? It's just that I, an old man, have nothing to do at home, so I came out for a walk." Uncle Wang said with a smile.
"Uncle Wang, do you have any extra chickens?" Zhou Ziwen also knew what Uncle Wang meant, so he asked.
"Yes, my old hen is laying eggs these days. If you want a few, I'll keep them for you."
Uncle Wang became even happier when he heard Zhou Ziwen's question.
Wasn’t it for this matter that he came to see Zhou Ziwen?
"Uncle, just keep four for me. Chen Zhiqing and I will each have two." Zhou Ziwen said, and also pointed out that these chickens were not raised by him alone. After all, a family can only raise two at most, and no more.
"Okay, it's settled then. I'll go back and find some eggs. It'll probably take about twenty days, and I'll send them to you then." Uncle Wang nodded.
He originally thought that Zhou Ziwen was the only one supporting the family, but he didn't expect that there was another family, so he could earn more.
He heard that Zhou Ziwen built his own house and was very rich!
After agreeing on the price with Uncle Wang, Zhou Ziwen was also very happy.
Once we have chickens, we will be able to eat eggs every day in a few months.
Other people raise chickens to make money by selling eggs, but he raises chickens to eat eggs for nutrition.
Anyway, in this era, he never thought about making money.
If you really want to make money, you have to wait a few years. By then, you can make money no matter what you do.
After a while, almost all the members of the production team arrived, and several major leaders gave speeches to boost everyone's morale.
Although these are all clichés, they make everyone very motivated.
Today the Chen sisters were assigned a new job, picking sweet potato leaves.
This is a good thing. The sweet potato leaves we pick are the tenderest ones, and we will distribute them to everyone after we have picked them all.
As for how much you get, it depends on your work points. Those with higher work points get more, and those with fewer work points get less.
In the production team, work points were always the only thing that mattered.
However, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters had just arrived at the production team and did not get many work points, so it was estimated that they would not get much.
No matter how much you can get, it is a happy thing. If nothing else, at least you can have one more dish.
