"Have our chickens laid eggs?" Zhou Ziwen asked happily.
"Yeah, it's a pity there's only one, and I don't know which chicken laid it." Chen Qiaoyi was a little disappointed when she said this.
"It's okay. Since the chickens have already started laying, the rest will probably come in the next few days. There's no need to rush." Zhou Ziwen comforted with a smile.
"That's true. I'll go check it out tomorrow." Chen Qiaoyi looked expectant.
The little chicks, after being fed by her, have finally laid eggs.
The joy of this harvest can make her happy all day long.
"Come to think of it, now that our hens have started laying eggs, we can eat the roosters too." Zhou Ziwen said thoughtfully.
They caught seven chicks, four of which were roosters.
Since the rooster can't lay eggs, it's better to eat it early to avoid wasting food.
When you count them up, they have quite a few chickens at home. In addition to the seven chicks they raise themselves, there is also an old hen given by Xu Datou's wife, Sister Zhou, and the one Zhang Yang also gave them some time ago, so there are nine chickens in the family now.
"Okay, I've been wanting to try what our own chicken tastes like."
When hearing about eating chicken, Chen Qiaoyi was the first to agree.
"Then come back early today and kill a chicken for dinner." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand and decided on tonight's dinner.
"You two, get ready for dinner. Yiyi, you haven't washed up yet, hurry up."
Just as the two were discussing what to eat after killing the chicken, Chen Shiying's voice came from the kitchen.
"Coming!" Chen Qiaoyi agreed and left with a happy step.
"Sister, your buns are well made. They smell delicious."
Seeing Chen Shiying coming in with a basin of buns, Zhou Ziwen began to praise her.
"You're so smooth-talking." Chen Shiying rolled her eyes.
Zhou Ziwen really wanted to reply "How did you know?", but after thinking it over he decided not to.
This girl is very shameless. If she really said it out loud, she would definitely be angry and embarrassed.
He had only slept in the same bed with her for two days. What if she made him angry and didn't let him sleep in the bed at night?
During breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters were in a good mood.
They have worked hard to raise the chickens for several months, and now they have finally grown up. When these chickens lay eggs, they will have eggs to eat every day.
Although there is no shortage of food at home now, and even after becoming a health worker, some enthusiastic villagers will send some local specialties, including many eggs.
Some give one, some give two or three, and some give meat, chili peppers, sauerkraut, and so on.
There is nothing that cannot be delivered, as long as you can think of it.
But there is still a difference between the ones given by others and the ones produced at home.
This is the result of their hard work.
After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen brought the medicinal herbs he had collected yesterday and went to the clinic with the two sisters.
When they arrived, the door of the clinic was already open. Zhu Jianguo had lit the stove early, and the warm air dispelled the cold brought in from outside.
"Ziwen, good morning. Did you have a smooth climb up the mountain yesterday?"
Seeing them come in, Zhu Jianguo was the first to greet them.
"It went quite smoothly. Look, we collected a lot of herbs, enough to last us for a few days." Zhou Ziwen put down the basket on his back, revealing a basket full of herbs.
"Do these herbs need to be processed further?" Zhu Jianguo looked at Zhou Ziwen expectantly.
"Haha, it does need to be dealt with. Brother Jianguo, if you are interested, you can come and help." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"That's great, thank you Ziwen." Upon hearing this, Zhu Jianguo's face immediately filled with smiles.
He is very interested in the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, whether it is treating patients or processing herbs.
After all, as a health worker in the countryside, it is not enough to just know how to give people injections, you also have to learn medical skills.
However, medical conditions in rural areas are limited, so traditional Chinese medicine is still the most suitable.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a profound and extensive science. During his training at the county hospital, he only got a basic understanding and didn't learn much at all.
Ever since he knew that Zhou Ziwen had good medical skills, he wanted to learn from him.
In order to learn knowledge, although Zhou Ziwen was younger than him, he treated him as a senior.
In just two days, he became Zhou Ziwen's loyal apprentice.
Judging from his performance, if Zhou Ziwen encountered any problems, he would definitely rush forward without saying a word.
"This kid is good." Zhou Ziwen was very satisfied with Zhu Jianguo's performance.
Speaking of which, although Zhou Ziwen called Zhu Jianguo Brother, in fact, Zhu Jianguo was only in his twenties. In terms of mental age, Zhu Jianguo was really just a kid in front of him.
While there were no patients visiting, Zhou Ziwen began to process the medicinal materials.
Zhu Jianguo was also learning along the way.
Chen Shiying was also very interested in this, so she stood next to Zhou Ziwen and learned his approach.
Only Chen Qiaoyi was not interested in this, but she was not idle either. She took a rag and was busy cleaning the house.
"Brother Zhou, what are you busy with?"
While Zhou Ziwen was busy processing medicinal herbs, Zhou Chaoyang came to his door.
"Oh, you weren't staying at home, so why did you think of it?" Zhou Ziwen raised his head and continued to process the herbs.
"Hey, I'm bored staying at home. Most of the people in the Youth League Institute have gone back, and there's not even a place to chat. So I came to see you." Zhou Chaoyang sighed helplessly.
Unlike Zhou Ziwen, he has basically no connection with the Youth League Institute.
Because he lived in the Youth League Home for a few days at the beginning, he was quite familiar with the people there.
Even after I moved out, I still visited there often.
"The people from the Youth League Institute have gone back?" A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Ziwen's eyes.
He really didn't know about this. After all, he was very busy recently and had no time to pay attention to these things.
"Yes, among these old educated youth, those who live nearby can go home to visit their families, but only a few who live far away have not returned," Zhou Chaoyang explained.
"That's good." Zhou Ziwen thought thoughtfully. He felt that he could go home to see his parents next year. It would be even better if the Chen sisters were willing to go back with him.
After all, the parents at home have not met their daughter-in-law yet!
"Then you play by yourself, I'm still busy!" Zhou Ziwen was busy processing medicinal materials and had no time to answer this guy.
"It's okay, don't worry about me." Zhou Chaoyang waved his hand.
"Haha." Zhou Ziwen smiled and continued to process the medicinal materials.
Given his relationship with Zhou Chaoyang, there was naturally no need for politeness.
And this kid doesn't need anyone to accompany him, because the aunties and grandmas in the village come to his house one after another.
Looking at their skilled posture, it’s like they are punching in for work.
Soon, Zhou Ziwen's medicinal materials were processed, and all that was left was to dry them in the air.
Wait a few days for the herbs to dry and then you can use them.
When he has free time, he also joins in the conversation with the aunts and grandmas.
There was no other way. After this period of hard work, he had treated all the patients in the village.
All those who could be cured were cured, and those who could not be cured were given medicine. From now on, they only need to take the medicine regularly and have regular checkups.
Whether or not he can be cured ultimately depends on his medical skills. (End of this chapter)
