In the bedroom, the two sisters opened the letter from their father and read it word by word.
Zhou Ziwen didn't know what was written in the letter, but judging from their expressions, they were obviously a little excited.
"Brother Ziwen, my dad wrote back. He said he's doing well over there and told us not to worry about him."
After reading the letter, it took the two sisters a long time to come back to their senses.
"Since Dad has replied, that's a good thing. I've already made the jerky, so I'll mail it to them tomorrow."
Zhou Ziwen comforted.
"Um."
Chen Qiaoyi snuggled in Zhou Ziwen's arms and nodded obediently.
"I'm going to cook."
Chen Shiying calmed herself down and after she regained her composure, she got up and went to the kitchen.
Compared with her sister, Chen Shiying is stronger.
But she is just a little girl after all, no matter how strong she is, she still needs comfort.
Zhou Ziwen decided to comfort her properly at night.
Women, sometimes just a broad shoulder is enough.
After a while, Chen Qiaoyi recovered and became lively and cute again.
"Brother Ziwen, is the rabbit meat marinated? Is it ready to grill?"
For foodies, there is nothing that cannot be solved with a meal.
If one meal isn't enough, then two.
"Almost done, let's go make a fire!"
Zhou Ziwen estimated the time and felt it was about time.
Although it would taste better if marinated longer, I came back a little late today and any further delay would affect my rest.
"Brother Ziwen, do you have a letter for us?"
At this moment, Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang walked in from outside.
"Well, the postman came today with your letters and packages. I helped collect them."
Zhou Ziwen pointed to the letter on the table and the package on the chair.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou."
Shen Zhaodi happily came to the table, found the name, and put away her letter.
"Brother Zhou, is this package mine?" Zhou Chaoyang saw a military green package.
"Yes, this is yours. It has your name on it."
Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Zhou Chaoyang's family background is better than theirs, and even the quality of the packages he received is much better.
"Hey, Brother Zhou, I think there's a lot of food in here. I'll bring some over later and we can eat together."
Zhou Chaoyang spoke.
"What are you taking it for? Your family sent it to you from far away, so just keep it and eat it yourself!"
Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.
"Hey, Brother Zhou takes care of me so much, I have to show my appreciation!"
Zhou Chaoyang ignored him and ran home with the letter and the package.
"Come over for barbecue later."
Zhou Ziwen called out to him.
"Okay!"
When Zhou Chaoyang heard about eating meat, his voice became high-pitched.
"Zhao Di comes too."
Zhou Ziwen turned around and said to Shen Zhaodi who was packing the letters.
"OK!"
Shen Zhaodi nodded quickly.
Seeing that the rabbit meat was almost marinated, Zhou Ziwen started to get busy.
Light a fire, put on the grill, and start grilling.
After a while, the yard was filled with smoke and the unique aroma of barbecue spread out.
Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang from next door came over following the smell.
Neither of them came empty-handed. Shen Zhaodi brought a piece of bacon, and Zhou Chaoyang brought a vacuum-packed roast duck.
"Oh, Peking duck! It's a specialty of our place. It would be even better with some cucumber skin."
Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but smile when he saw what Zhou Chaoyang brought over.
He hasn't eaten this roast duck for a long time.
"The dough is easy to make, let me do it!"
Chen Shiying spoke after hearing this.
"Okay." Zhou Ziwen agreed and continued to busy himself with grilling.
A whole rabbit, with its oily skin and various spices, makes your mouth water.
Zhou Chaoyang was watching from the side, chatting with Zhou Ziwen while also greedily smelling the fragrance.
"This smells so good, Brother Zhou, how can I live without you!"
Zhou Chaoyang flattered with an exaggerated expression.
"Oh, I'm not your chef."
Zhou Ziwen rolled his eyes in annoyance.
If it weren't for Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying, he wouldn't be willing to cook.
Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang just benefited from it by the way.
"Hey, Brother Zhou, you've worked hard."
Zhou Chaoyang came behind him attentively and rubbed his shoulders.
"That's more like it, try harder."
Zhou Ziwen was very satisfied with the boy's service.
While Zhou Ziwen was busy, the Chen sisters in the room were not idle either.
They were busy cooking with Shen Zhaodi.
There are a lot of people today, so just one roasted rabbit is not enough.
Strength lies in numbers. After a busy day, a table full of dishes was soon ready.
The people in the educated youth home next door were gnawing on steamed bread and looking at their house with depressed faces.
"Why did Zhou Zhiqing and the others prepare delicious food again? Where did they get so much meat?"
"Haha, Zhou Zhiqing is different from us. He's the leader of the mushroom team and a medic. How could he be worried about not having food?"
"What's the point of your envy? He killed a bear. If you want to eat meat, it's not that easy. Just go to the mountains and you'll find it."
"Oh, if only I had Zhou Zhiqing's abilities."
The people in the Youth League Home sighed as they looked at the steamed bread in their hands. Smelling the fragrance wafting from afar, they felt even hungrier.
…
"Come on, cheers."
"To youth."
“Don’t let your youth go to waste.”
"cheers."
Here, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters were eating and drinking happily, and had no idea what was happening at the Youth League Institute.
He doesn't steal or rob, so what's wrong with eating some meat?
After the meal, everyone was satisfied, and the little one got his reward as he wished, a rabbit head.
Fortunately, the rabbit head is not spicy, otherwise it would not be a reward but a punishment.
The dogs at home also enjoyed chewing bones, especially Marshmallow, Chase Wind and Mud Ball, who were just one month old.
After dinner, everyone went home, and Zhou Ziwen and the two sisters also began to rest.
That night, the two sisters seemed particularly enthusiastic, and Zhou Ziwen took great pains to comfort them.
Zhou Ziwen plans to go to the county town tomorrow to send some dried meat to his families on both sides, especially bear meat. They probably haven't tasted it before, so it's a good opportunity to send it over so that his family can have a taste.
The two sisters felt his kindness and were moved. They put in 200% effort and served him wholeheartedly.
Let him experience what paradise on earth is.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Zhou Ziwen woke up from the kang.
What caught my eye were the faces of the two sisters sleeping peacefully.
The long eyelashes and delicate face made Zhou Ziwen reluctant to look away.
After admiring the sleeping faces of the two sisters for a while, Zhou Ziwen got up and went to the yard to start exercising.
After finishing the Five Animal Exercises, the two sisters still hadn't woken up. I guess they were too exhausted yesterday and couldn't get up today.
Zhou Ziwen smiled complacently and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for them.
The two sisters have worked so hard, they should be rewarded. (End of this chapter)
