Chapter 489: Sending a Letter



In the kitchen, Zhou Ziwen started to get busy.

Before long, smoke rose and a faint aroma of wheat wafted out.

The two sisters who were sleeping smelled something and sniffed their noses at the same time.

After a while, they opened their eyes following the smell.

After waking up, the two sisters looked at each other, then looked away tacitly.

Thinking of the crazy scene last night, both of them felt a little shy.

After putting on their clothes, the two sisters returned to normal.

One is lively and cute, the other is elegant and quiet.

"Brother Ziwen, what delicious food did you make?"

Chen Qiaoyi ran to the kitchen and smiled at Zhou Ziwen.

"Steamed white flour buns, dumplings, mushroom-filled dumplings, and porridge."

Zhou Ziwen answered.

He is more generous when cooking and uses pure white flour to make steamed buns, unlike Chen Shiying who usually uses two-grain flour.

In her words, Erhe noodles are already very good. You know, before going to the countryside, her family didn’t eat Erhe noodles every day.

"Hehe, Brother Ziwen is the best."

Chen Qiaoyi hugged his arm with a smile, and rested her head naturally on his shoulder.

"Hurry up and wash up, or your sister will scold you again later."

Zhou Ziwen patted her head.

"All right!"

Chen Qiaoyi pouted, but still went to wash up obediently.

She didn't want to be lectured by her sister so early in the morning.

At this time, Chen Shiying came in from outside and gave him a peaceful smile.

The two of them smiled in tacit understanding, and then went about their business.

"Brother Ziwen, I put all the eggs from the past two days in the brooding hens' coop. When I went there just now, they were still lying in the coop!"

When it was almost time for dinner, Chen Qiaoyi came back from the backyard skipping.

"Let it lie down and give it more water."

Zhou Ziwen reminded.

"OK."

Chen Qiaoyi nodded obediently.

"Let's eat first, then go to work."

Zhou Ziwen put the dumplings on the table and then prepared a dipping sauce.

The three of them had a delicious meal of dumplings until the announcement for work sounded, and then they went out to the production team with Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang.

I came to the threshing ground outside the production team, chatted with some aunts and grandmas, listened to their gossip, and the morning meeting began.

Today’s theme is still spring plowing, followed by mushroom harvesting.

Yesterday we sold mushrooms for more than 2,000 yuan, which was a big harvest.

There are still a lot of mushrooms in the mushroom house, and they will be sold in the next few days. Some of them will be sent to the commune, which will help sell them.

"The mushrooms grown by Zhou Zhiqing are really popular. We sold over 2,000 in just one day. If we sell them all, we'll probably make 5,000 or 6,000!"

"What five or six thousand? I heard from my son that if all these mushrooms are sold, they will make at least eight thousand."

"That's a lot! Doesn't that mean we can get a lot of money this year?"

"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to Zhou Zhiqing. Zhou Zhiqing is really great. I wonder if his mushroom group is still recruiting. I want to grow mushrooms too."

"Of course we have to. We're going to build a mushroom cultivation base soon. I'll go find Zhou Zhiqing and sign up to learn how to grow mushrooms from him."

The villagers were talking to each other, and the scene was noisy. Some even crowded in front of Zhou Ziwen, wanting to join his mushroom group.

On the stage, the captain and Wu Dagang watched with smiles on their faces, without saying anything to stop them.

After everyone was busy for a while, he started talking.

"Okay, it's getting late. Those who need to go to work should go to work. Don't dawdle here. If you want to join the Mushroom Group, you can sign up in advance. We and Zhou Zhiqing will select them together."

Wu Dagang said loudly.

He knew that Zhou Ziwen was most afraid of trouble, so he simply stopped these people for him.

Below, Zhou Ziwen breathed a sigh of relief.

The villagers were so enthusiastic that he almost couldn't handle it.

Soon, the morning meeting ended, Zhou Ziwen came to the mushroom house, explained the harvesting matters, and then took Zhao Xiaohua to the health room.

"Xiaohua, after this acupuncture, your condition has improved a lot. All that's left is to continue taking the medicine."

"You can only stop taking this medicine when you get pregnant."

During acupuncture, Zhou Ziwen spoke.

"Thank you, Team Leader. If it weren't for you, our family wouldn't even know the cause of the problem."

Zhao Xiaohua hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

"It's okay, just go back and recuperate. Prepare well in the next few days and try to pass the team leader's assessment."

Zhou Ziwen waved his hand and then spoke encouragingly.

Zhao Xiaohua is serious about her work, so she has no problem being a team leader.

After observing her for such a long time, Zhou Ziwen is still very optimistic about her.

"Team leader, I will try my best."

Zhao Xiaohua agreed seriously.

"Okay, then you go back to work. I won't be going over. Ask them to keep an eye on it and make sure nothing happens."

As he spoke, Zhou Ziwen took the silver needle.

"OK."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded hurriedly.

After Zhang Xiaohua left, Zhou Ziwen stayed in the clinic for a while.

After a few months, Zhu Jianguo had become familiar with the affairs of the clinic.

After studying for this period of time, his medical skills improved greatly.

Of course, medicine is a profound subject, and even if he tried harder, he wouldn't be able to learn anything in a few months.

However, compared with the medical workers who received training with him, he has made a lot of progress.

After all, not everyone has such good conditions as him. He has Zhou Ziwen, a veteran who often gives him advice and does not keep it for himself.

"How have you been these past two days? Have you encountered any problems?"

Zhou Ziwen asked.

"It's nothing, my dad just ran out of medicine and was about to check with you."

Zhu Jianguo rubbed his hands.

"Come on. Tell him when you go back at noon and ask him to come over when he goes to work in the afternoon."

Zhou Ziwen nodded and said.

"Okay, thank you Ziwen."

"You're welcome."

Zhou Ziwen waved his hand, then stood up and walked out.

"Nothing else, I'm leaving now."

"It's okay, you're busy."

After leaving the clinic, Zhou Ziwen returned home, tidied up a bit, and found a lot of things, mostly meat, with a small number of tonics and rare local specialties.

There are many varieties of dried meat, including bear meat, beef, roe deer meat, etc.

These are all the savings he has made bit by bit during his long time in the countryside.

After packing these things into several copies, he also put away the written reply letter.

This letter contains his reply to his family, as well as the reply from the Chen sisters.

After packing up, he took his things and rode his bicycle towards the county town.

We drove at lightning speed and arrived at the county town in less than half an hour.

After entering the county town, Zhou Ziwen did not stop and went straight to his destination, arriving at the post office in a short while.

It took more than half an hour to mail the letter, send the package, pay the money, and get the receipt.

This is because the post office is not very busy. If there were more people, it wouldn't be this fast.

After coming out of the post office, Zhou Ziwen thought for a while, but it seemed like there was nothing to do.

After checking the time, he realized it was still early. Zhou Ziwen wasn't in a hurry to go back, so he just wandered around the county town. (End of this chapter)
