Chapter 48: Wrong Idea
In just one morning, the educated youth who were originally full of confidence suffered a heavy blow.
In fact, they didn't do any heavy work, and the production team knew that they had just arrived and needed some time to adapt.
But even this was too much for the educated youth.
At noon, when getting off work, Zhou Ziwen met Zhou Chaoyang, who was walking slowly and holding his old waist.
"Oh, isn't this Xiao Zhou? How about it? This little bit of work today shouldn't be difficult for you, right?" Zhou Ziwen pursed his lips, afraid that he would laugh out loud.
"Brother, Brother Zhou, I'm in this state, and you still laugh at me!" Zhou Chaoyang begged for mercy hurriedly. At this moment, he still remembered the confident look he had shown yesterday.
But before even a day had passed, I was slapped in the face.
“Ahem!”
Zhou Ziwen was disgusted by his resentful expression and waved his hand unhappily, "Stop that disgusting look of yours."
"Didn't I tell you to just get through this period? Yiyi and the others were just like you back then, but look at them now, they're so efficient at their work."
"I understand the logic, but this is too hard to bear!" Zhou Chaoyang sighed.
"Haha, aren't you quite smart? Don't you know how to be lazy?"
"Being lazy is tiring! Now I understand why everyone is afraid of going to the countryside." Zhou Chaoyang said weakly.
"There's nothing we can do about it." Zhou Ziwen spread his hands. "You have money anyway, so the worst that can happen is you can just work less. You're not like other people who need work points to survive."
He said this because of their good relationship. If it were someone else, Zhou Ziwen would not have tried to persuade him.
On the other side, the Chen sisters were also trying to persuade Shen Zhaodi, but Shen Zhaodi usually did housework at home, and the work assigned to her today was not as tiring as Zhou Chaoyang's, so she was able to stick to it.
Fortunately, they ate with them, otherwise it would be difficult for both of them to cook for themselves.
When they returned home, construction of Zhou Chaoyang and his family's house had already begun. The open space next to the Chen sisters was filled with materials, and the foundation had been dug. The progress was very fast.
It took Zhou Ziwen and his family almost a week to build their house. Zhou Chaoyang and his family's house had the same specifications and took about another week to build.
But this is already considered fast. After all, it is just a mud house. As long as the foundation is laid, the rest will be easy.
We had fish for lunch today. Zhou Ziwen helped kill the fish while the Chen sisters were busy in the kitchen.
With the addition of Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi, there are more meals to cook.
The workload of the two Chen sisters has also increased a bit.
Zhou Ziwen brought the fish he caught yesterday to the river and killed it in no time. When he returned, the water in the pot had already boiled, waiting for the fish to be put into the pot.
"Leave it to me!" Shen Zhaodi reached out to take it and started to deal with it.
"Is Zhaodi cooking today?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
"Yes, Zhaodi said she can make Sichuan spicy fish and let us try her cooking skills." Chen Shiying explained.
"Oh? Then you must taste it."
Zhou Ziwen was a little excited. Although Shen Zhaodi always said that her cooking skills were good, she was just saying it herself. Who knew if the food would taste good?
"Just wait and see!"
Shen Zhaodi is extremely confident.
Making spicy fish requires a lot of seasonings, especially chili peppers and peppercorns, which are the essence of making spicy fish.
Fortunately, in order to satisfy his taste, Zhou Ziwen bought a lot of seasonings in the county town, otherwise it would not be enough.
Shen Zhaodi was indeed not bragging. Just by frying the base ingredients, the aroma came out instantly.
"This smell is overbearing!"
Just by smelling the scent, Zhou Ziwen felt a little greedy.
Shen Zhaodi moved quickly and finished it in no time.
"Dinner is ready."
There weren't many main dishes today, just a spicy fish.
But this is enough. After all, fish is also meat. Although it is only one dish, it is still quite rich.
"Try it." Shen Zhaodi looked at everyone expectantly.
"It's spicy, fragrant and tender, and the taste is authentic." Zhou Ziwen took a bite and gave a thumbs up.
In his previous life, he had eaten many local specialties, including Sichuan spicy fish. Although the taste of the dish made by Shen Zhaodi was a little worse, it was only because of the seasoning. After all, the technology and hard work of later generations were very famous.
"It's delicious. Teach me how to make it when you have time." Chen Shiying also commented.
The fact that she could say this proved that Shen Zhaodi's cooking skills were indeed good. After all, not everyone could ask her for advice.
"Haha, no problem, I promise to teach you." Shen Zhaodi agreed happily.
"Delicious, delicious, really delicious, hehe!"
As Zhou Chaoyang ate the fish, the smile on his face gradually became distorted, and his eyes looking at Shen Zhaodi became fiery.
"Comrade Zhou Chaoyang, please control your expression, otherwise others will think you are a pervert." Zhou Ziwen said seriously.
"Ah? What's wrong with me?" Zhou Chaoyang came back to his senses. "No, what are you looking at? I just want to cook a meal with Comrade Shen Zhaodi..."
Seeing that everyone looked at him with a strange expression, Zhou Chaoyang hurriedly explained.
He is not a pervert. If this is misunderstood, his reputation will be ruined for life.
"You want to partner with me?" Shen Zhaodi pointed at her nose, a little unsure.
"Yeah, I don't know how to cook! Then Brother Zhou gave me an idea..."
"Stop, Zhou Chaoyang, you bastard, are you selling me out now?" Zhou Ziwen stared at Zhou Chaoyang in disbelief.
To be honest, his idea was not a good one. After all, a single male educated youth and a single female educated youth eating together would easily lead to gossip.
But in order to prevent them from continuing to live together at home, and based on the principle of "a friend's death is better than my own", Zhou Ziwen still gave him a crooked idea.
But he didn't expect that he would be betrayed just after he gave someone some advice.
"Isn't this true?" Zhou Chaoyang laughed awkwardly.
"I'm just suggesting. It's up to you guys to decide whether you're willing or not. Don't involve me in this." Zhou Ziwen hurriedly distanced himself from the matter.
"Comrade Chen Zhaodi, it's actually beneficial for both of us to work together. As a female comrade, you always have some heavy work that is inconvenient for you to do. After we work together, you can leave the heavy work to me and you just need to cook." Zhou Chaoyang said sincerely.
"Oh, that's it. It doesn't seem impossible." Shen Zhaodi tilted her head and thought about it, and felt that it seemed not bad.
After all, she is a girl and she really can't do some of the physical work that men do. If someone is willing to help, they can team up.
"Yes, this is a win-win situation!" Seeing that Shen Zhaodi was moved, Zhou Chaoyang persuaded her more vigorously.
"It should be a good thing for you to team up, right?" Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously.
"Don't talk." Chen Shiying pulled her sister and told her not to get involved.
It's not easy for them to get involved in this matter.
After all, rumors are something that only those who care about them really care about them, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t care.
At the beginning, they and Zhou Ziwen were just staying together at Uncle Wu's house, so there was no need for people to talk about them.
The rumors only disappeared when Zhou Ziwen started dating her sister.
