"The loess slope is not far away over there, next to the creek, so it's very convenient to get water."
Zhou Ziwen's words made Zhang Wenli overjoyed, but before she could speak, Zhou Ziwen's next words froze her smile.
"But I've already reclaimed the land over there. If you want to reclaim it, you'll have to find another place."
"Ziwen, have you planted anything? What are you planting?"
Zhou Qiang on the side asked.
"Ginseng." Zhou Ziwen replied.
This matter cannot be hidden, and there is no need to hide it.
"What? Ginseng?"
As soon as he said this, all the educated youth present looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, I'm a village health worker. I know a little bit about medicinal herbs. I grow ginseng. If I grow it well, I can sell it to the commune or the county purchasing station for a lot of money."
Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Ziwen, do you think we can grow ginseng?"
Some educated youth looked at Zhou Ziwen with sharp eyes, fantasizing that they could also make a fortune with Zhou Ziwen.
Everyone knows ginseng. Although we don’t know the specific price, we know that it is very valuable.
"You can grow it if you want, but ginseng has a long growth cycle. It usually takes six years before it can be sold for money. Also, growing ginseng is a delicate job. If you don't know the growing techniques, you probably won't be able to grow it."
Zhou Ziwen knew what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions.
But this thing, like growing mushrooms, requires key techniques.
If you don't understand the techniques, you won't be able to grow the crops even if you try your best.
"That……"
Someone looked at Zhou Ziwen anxiously, but was interrupted by him as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Okay, it's getting late today, let's just stop here. We have to go to work tomorrow. If we sleep too late, we won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Zhou Ziwen waved his hand and decisively sent the guest away.
He is not a sucker. It is fine for him to chat, talk, or even give some verbal help, but if he is asked to help physically, he will politely decline.
To put it bluntly, we were all just educated youth assigned to the same production team and were not that familiar with each other.
"Thank you Ziwen for today. We'll be leaving first."
After all, Zhou Qiang is the captain of the Youth League Institute and is quite ambitious himself. Of course, he knows when to stop.
In fact, the main reason they came here today was to establish a good relationship with Zhou Ziwen.
Listening to the radio and thanking him for securing private plots for everyone were secondary.
As the mushroom house grew larger, Zhou Ziwen's status in the production team also became higher and higher.
By now, not only the people in Dabazi Village, but even some neighboring villages know that a capable person has emerged in Dabazi Village.
Although communication was not very smooth in that era, people in neighboring villages basically intermarried.
Especially during the Chinese New Year and other holidays, people visit relatives, pay New Year's greetings, sit together and chat, and exchange feelings.
The content of this chat is just some gossip in the village!
Someone as outstanding as Zhou Ziwen simply cannot hide.
As time went by, his fame spread to the nearby villages.
It is understandable that the educated youth in the Youth League Institute wanted to get closer to Zhou Ziwen when they saw that his life was getting better and better and his fame was growing.
Zhou Qiang was also sensible and knew that some advantages were not easy to take advantage of. When he saw Zhou Ziwen preparing to see them off, he tactfully took the educated youth away.
He is a smart man and just wants to have a good relationship with Zhou Ziwen, but he doesn't want to fail to establish a good relationship and offend others instead.
Soon, under the leadership of Zhou Qiang, the educated youth left one after another.
Only the yard was left in a somewhat messy state.
Fortunately, with the help of Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang, they quickly cleaned up the fruit and vegetable peels.
Although the educated youth left, there was still a problem at home.
"Ziwen, Wang Xiaoli hasn't left yet. What should we do?" Chen Shiying asked.
Just now, her sister didn't come out of the house, so she went in to check what was going on.
She quickly understood the situation from her sister's words of persuasion.
Getting pregnant before marriage is indeed troublesome.
If people knew about it, you would definitely be blamed for your inappropriate hat.
Especially the aunties and grandmas in the village, if they knew about it, the whole village would know about it soon.
By then, if one has poor psychological endurance and cannot get over it, it will be terrible.
Rumors can kill people, and this is no joke.
What's more, what she said is true.
"That's easy."
Zhou Ziwen smiled calmly and looked at Zhou Chaoyang who had not left yet.
"Brother Zhou, what's going on?" Zhou Chaoyang was confused by the look, but he also heard something wrong from their conversation.
"It's nothing, don't leave yet. We haven't had a drink for a long time. How about having a couple of drinks today?" Zhou Ziwen invited.
"Drinking? Haven't we already eaten?"
Zhou Chaoyang was a little confused when he heard this.
"Why think so much? Just tell me whether you want to drink or not!"
Zhou Ziwen ignored him and went into the house first.
"Hey, Brother Zhou wants to drink, so why shouldn't I accompany him?"
Zhou Chaoyang chuckled and followed happily.
Although he didn't understand what was going on, he knew that Zhou Ziwen would not ask him to drink for no reason.
Since Brother Zhou didn't say anything, he was too lazy to ask. He would know it naturally when it was time for him to know.
Behind them, Shen Zhaodi and Chen Shiying looked at each other and smiled.
Although Shen Zhaodi didn't know that Wang Xiaoli was pregnant, she knew that she didn't want to leave the house.
In this situation, it is obvious that something has happened.
It can be seen from the fact that Zhou Ziwen kept Zhou Chaoyang here that Zhou Ziwen deliberately let Zhou Chaoyang stay here and forced Wang Xiaoli to leave.
As a woman, Shen Zhaodi is more careful than Zhou Chaoyang.
A bystander can see things more clearly, and she can see the current situation clearly.
"Sister Shiying, what's going on in there?"
Chen Zhaodi came up to Chen Shiying and asked quietly.
"Wang Xiaoli is pregnant."
Chen Shiying also answered quietly.
"ah?"
"Keep your voice down."
"Oh, how did she..."
The two of them huddled together and whispered in each other's ears, talking about private topics between women.
Naturally, the fact that Wang Xiaoli was pregnant could no longer be concealed among them.
Of course, the reason why Shen Zhaodi knew this was because he knew she was not a talkative person.
Chen Shiying also had her own ideas. It was not a good thing for Wang Xiaoli to stay in their house and refuse to leave. If Shen Zhaodi knew about it, she could also help them persuade her.
Soon, Shen Zhaodi followed Chen Shiying into the house and joined Chen Qiaoyi in persuading the crowd.
Outside the house, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang sat in the living room drinking.
Although it was past the restaurant time, there was no shortage of snacks at home.
Zhou Ziwen took out the bear meat jerky he had made earlier, added peanuts and dried fish, and it was more than enough to drink with the wine.
When they were having a good time drinking, Zhou Ziwen played finger-guessing games with Zhou Chaoyang.
The noises from their finger-guessing game were quite loud. Even though there was a door between them, the noises from outside could still be heard from the bedroom.
Perhaps realizing Zhou Ziwen had no intention of helping her, Wang Xiaoli emerged soon after, her eyes red, accompanied by the Chen sisters and Shen Zhaodi. (End of this chapter)
