Chapter 55 Homesick
"Brother Ziwen, I can't sleep."
This happened suddenly in the middle of the night. Not only the two Chen sisters, but even Zhou Ziwen himself lost his sleep.
He was a light sleeper, and since he had already had a nap, he was full of energy and couldn't fall asleep even if he wanted to.
"Then don't sleep. Just sit down and take a nap."
"Brother Ziwen, when do you think we can go back to the city?" Chen Qiaoyi asked in a low voice.
During this period, although their lives were pretty good with the help of Zhou Ziwen, they were still far worse than when they were in the city.
The key point is that they are unfamiliar with this place, and every night they both miss home.
"Haha, you miss home, right?" Speaking of missing home, Zhou Ziwen actually does too.
He misses his father who is quiet but cares about him very much, his mother who dotes on him the most, his two older sisters who support their brother, and the happy pill of the family, Zhou Xiaomei.
He also has two older brothers, who, although they are quite different in age, take good care of him.
"Yeah." Chen Qiaoyi nodded.
Although Chen Shiying remained silent, it was obvious that she also missed home.
"We will definitely go back. We must have confidence in our country. I believe that being an educated youth is only temporary. Sooner or later, we will return."
Knowing history, Zhou Ziwen is full of confidence about this.
"But since we're in the countryside, let's do our best! I actually think it's not bad to be in the countryside. Although the work is a bit tiring, it makes our lives more meaningful."
"We have our own home here. This process of building something from scratch makes us feel more fulfilled, don't we?"
Seeing that the two sisters were feeling a little depressed, Zhou Ziwen tried his best to cheer them up.
Because he knew that they would not be able to return to the city in a short time.
Next, I have to continue living in the countryside.
By the time they return to the city, he and Yiyi will probably have a child.
With Zhou Ziwen's persuasion, the two sisters regained their spirits, and Chen Qiaoyi became the carefree, lively and cheerful girl again.
Chen Shiying also regained her composure, her pair of dark eyes making people unconsciously intoxicated.
Just as the three of them were chatting and laughing, a gunshot suddenly rang out.
"Stay here and don't move. I'll go check out the situation."
Zhou Ziwen gave an instruction and ran quickly towards the place where the gunshots came from.
He was a man of great skill and courage, and relying on his Bajiquan skills, which were close to level five, he wanted to watch the fun and see if there was any way he could help.
And with the village guards around, there is no need to worry about your own safety.
Although the guard team of Dabazi Village was small, with only about ten people, each of them had a gun.
Not to mention wild boars, he has even fought tigers and bears. He is very powerful.
Zhou Ziwen arrived at the scene quickly with an axe.
It was very lively here at the moment, with more than a dozen guards holding guns surrounding two wild boars.
A shot was fired from time to time, scaring the wild boars away.
One of the wild boars had been shot several times and was now lying on the ground, howling.
When Zhou Ziwen arrived, the other wild boar was also in dire straits.
Wang Hongbing, the deputy captain and head of the guard, raised his gun, aimed, and hit the wild boar's front leg, causing it to stagger.
Seeing the opportunity, the other guards fired a few more shots, and the wild boar fell to the ground instantly.
I guess if Zhou Ziwen had come a little later, the problem would have been solved.
"Wait a minute, the wild boar is about to die. Let's wait until it dies, so that it won't counterattack before dying." Deputy Captain Wang Hongbing said very experiencedly.
"Alright, comrades, fellow villagers, the wild boar has been found. Let's all go back and rest! We'll have a day off tomorrow, and we'll officially go back to work the day after tomorrow."
Team leader Zhou Weiguo waved his hand and generously gave everyone a day off.
After all, everyone has been busy working late into the night, and even if they go to work tomorrow, they won’t be in good spirits. It would be better to give everyone a day off to rest.
The autumn harvest is coming soon, and everyone will be very busy and have no time to rest.
Taking a break now can be considered as an early benefit.
Everyone left laughing and the atmosphere was very lively.
If the village kills two wild boars, they will definitely be shared among everyone, although the amount of meat may be very small.
But for some people who haven't tasted meat for months, this is too precious.
After everyone dispersed, Zhou Ziwen also went to reunite with the Chen sisters.
When they heard that the wild boar had been killed, they felt relieved.
After all, wild boars are too dangerous, especially for girls like them. Once they encounter one, they will lose their lives.
"Brother Ziwen, is the village going to distribute meat? How much can we get?"
Having been in the countryside for so long, Chen Qiaoyi also knows this rule.
"Haha, there are many of us, so we should get a lot, but Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang just arrived, so they should get less." Zhou Ziwen said.
This is the rule for distributing meat. Those who perform well and earn more work points will get more, while those who perform poorly and earn fewer work points will get less.
People like Zhou Ziwen, although they have only been in the countryside for a short time and don’t have many work points, will get more meat because of their good performance.
This is also the reason why Zhou Ziwen does not slack off at work and works hard.
Because this not only concerns work points, but also welfare.
"Hehe, I don't know when it will be posted. I haven't eaten wild boar meat yet!" Chen Qiaoyi looked happy and had already started to imagine the taste of wild boar meat.
"Wild boar meat tastes better than regular pork, but it has a stronger mutton smell. If you don't cook it well, it won't taste good."
Zhou Ziwen has level four cooking skills and has some knowledge of wild game, so he knows how to make it delicious.
"I'm not very good at this. Ziwen, can you do it?" Chen Shiying asked.
"Yes, just leave it to me, I know how to do it." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
My goodness, the meat hasn’t even been distributed yet and they are already discussing how to eat it.
But this is normal. Not only them, but other people in the village are also in the same mood. Although it is still night, they are not sleepy at all and have started discussing the two wild boars.
Zhou Ziwen had just seen two wild boars. He estimated that the two pigs weighed a total of 600 kilograms. There were more than a thousand people in the village, and if the old and the young were counted as half a population, there would be at least 600 people.
A 600-jin wild boar certainly doesn't weigh that much after removing the weight, but no matter how you calculate it, everyone can at least get half a jin.
Zhou Ziwen and his five companions shared a meal, and two or three pounds of meat was enough for a delicious meal.
"That's good. I'll learn from you then."
Chen Shiying's hobby is cooking. Last time she asked Chen Zhaodi to learn how to make spicy fish, and this time she asked Zhou Ziwenxue how to cook game.
"No problem, I will definitely teach you." Zhou Ziwen nodded readily.
If you teach her, you will be the one who enjoys the happiness in the future.
Although he can cook, he doesn't have this hobby. It's okay to cook once in a while when he feels like it, but if he does it every day, it will almost kill him.
