"Sister, did you see it?"
Chen Qiaoyi came up to her sister and asked with a malicious look.
"I didn't, how could it be possible? Don't talk nonsense." Chen Shiying denied it three times in a row, shaking her head repeatedly. Perhaps feeling that denial alone wasn't enough, she quickly put on her older sister's authority and scolded, "Chen Qiaoyi, you're becoming more and more shameless. If you keep this up, I'll punish you."
"Ah?" Chen Qiaoyi was stunned and looked at her sister with her mouth open.
If she was a little braver, she would have asked, "Can't you afford to play?"
"Okay, now that you're awake, get up quickly. Ziwen seems to be cooking. I'll go help."
Seeing that her sister was frightened by her, Chen Shiying stood up expressionlessly, left Chen Qiaoyi, and went to the kitchen alone.
"Sister, are you awake?" Zhou Ziwen, who was busy in the kitchen, smiled at Chen Shiying when he saw her come in.
"It's all your fault." Chen Shiying glared at him fiercely.
But in Zhou Ziwen's eyes, this look did not have any deterrent effect, but rather seemed somewhat tempting.
"Hehe!" Zhou Ziwen was thick-skinned, and there was a hint of pride in his expression.
This smile made Chen Shiying feel embarrassed.
"Sister, hurry up and wash up, I have prepared the meal."
Seeing that the girl was getting angry and embarrassed, Zhou Ziwen quickly changed the subject.
Anyway, he has already taken advantage of it, so he deserves to be blamed.
"Brother Ziwen, we need to shovel the snow in the backyard. The chicken coop is almost soaked by the snow."
Just as Zhou Ziwen prepared breakfast and was waiting for the Chen sisters to eat together, Chen Qiaoyi came in hurriedly from outside.
"Okay, I'll go and shovel it later." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
He had only shoveled the snow in the yard and forgot about the chicken coop behind it.
After a night, the snow outside slowly melted, and the chicken coop was almost not spared.
Anyway, this weather is not suitable for going out, and it’s boring to stay at home, so I might as well move around and treat it as exercise.
At his level, Bajiquan can be practiced while walking, standing, sitting or lying down.
Although the skill proficiency gained every day is still not as fast as that gained by AFK, the accumulation over a long period of time can also allow the skill level to be improved faster.
After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen went to the back of the house with a shovel.
Start shoveling the snow one shovel at a time.
He was strong and sturdy, and with every shovel he made, he lifted up a large layer of snow.
In just a short while, he had shoveled out the road outside the chicken coop.
"Brother Ziwen, my sister and I are here to help you."
The Chen sisters, who had cleaned up the dishes, also came over carrying shovels.
"Okay, let's do it together."
Zhou Ziwen laughed and did not refuse.
Regular exercise is good for your health.
It has been snowing outside these days, and the two sisters are bored, so let them move around and exercise.
It is not tiring when men and women work together.
Not long after, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters cleared the snow at the back.
"Brother Ziwen, do we have to come here to clear the snow every time it snows in the future?" Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously.
Although it snows in their hometown, the snow is very small, and most of the time it can't even cover the ground. This is why she seems so excited to see such heavy snow.
"Well, we have to clean it up after every snowfall, otherwise the melted snow will flow in." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Although clearing snow is a bit troublesome, it cannot be avoided.
Of course, if he is willing to put in the effort, he can solve this problem.
However, the workload is a bit large, so it would be better to clean it up after every snowfall.
After clearing the snow, Zhou Ziwen decided to plan the chicken coop carefully.
When the chicken coop was first built, it occupied a relatively large area, but there were not many chickens in the house, so such a large area was not needed.
There happened to be a few little rabbits at home, so he planned to divide the chicken coop into two parts, raising chickens on one half and rabbits on the other.
Of course, the rabbits at home are still too young and cannot be taken outside for the time being, lest they freeze to death.
Moreover, rabbits are different from chickens. They can dig holes. If you want to keep them in a cage, you have to build a special place for raising rabbits with stones.
The space doesn't need to be too big. Two or three square meters will be enough for a few rabbits.
With his ability, it can be built in one day.
However, the snow outside has not melted yet, so it is not very convenient to travel. It depends on the weather.
After dealing with the snow, Zhou Ziwen observed the chicks in the chicken coop.
By now, they can no longer be considered chicks. Counting the time, these chicks are almost three months old.
Under Chen Qiaoyi's careful feeding, these chicks are growing healthily. If the weather wasn't so cold, they would probably be laying eggs soon.
We caught seven chicks at Uncle Wang’s house, four of which were roosters.
The rooster didn't lay eggs, so he planned to keep one and eat the rest.
As for the remaining rooster, it is used for breeding. When you have time in the future, you can hatch chicks yourself.
"Brother Ziwen, do you want some chicken soup?"
Seeing Zhou Ziwen staring at the chickens in the chicken coop, Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously.
"Well, I think these chickens are doing well. They'll be ready to eat in a while. Then I'll make you a roasted rooster."
Zhou Ziwen found it a little funny to see his wife's greedy look.
It’s not that he wants to eat chicken, it’s obviously his wife who likes it.
"Roasted roosters are delicious too!" Chen Qiaoyi squinted her eyes and almost drooled at the sight of the roosters.
These chickens were all raised by her personally. Now that the chicks have grown up, it's time for them to go into her stomach.
"Okay, then we'll kill the chicken and eat the meat in a few days." Zhou Ziwen nodded readily.
In a few days, these chicks will be three months old.
Generally speaking, chicks are mature at three months old, the hens can lay eggs, and the roosters can be eaten for meat.
"Hehe, okay." Chen Qiaoyi hugged Zhou Ziwen's arm, her eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.
"Let's go. It's cold outside. Let's go home and warm up first."
Seeing Chen Shiying covering her hands and breathing out, Zhou Ziwen picked up a shovel and called the two sisters back to the house.
Zhou Ziwen has a strong physique and is fine with being a little cold, but women are naturally cold, and it would be bad if they caught a cold in such cold weather.
After returning home, Zhou Ziwen found some herbs to prevent colds and asked Chen Shiying to cook a pot of soup to prevent them from catching a cold.
"Ziwen, there's no need to be so nervous. Yiyi and I have been practicing the Five Animal Exercises you taught us. Our physical fitness is already very good. We won't catch a cold after going out for a while just now."
When talking about good physical fitness, Chen Shiying blushed and her mind couldn't help but think of the evening.
"You'd better drink some, just in case. Just treat it as tea."
"If you find the tea bitter, you can add some honey. Didn't I bring back some honey last time? Eat it first. I'll get some more next spring."
Zhou Ziwen advised.
"Okay then!" Chen Shiying nodded slightly, feeling a little touched.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen care so much about them, she knew she had followed the right person. (End of this chapter)
