Chapter 66: Dividing the Property
Because of a teaching session, Zhou Ziwen's fishing plan came to an end.
However, Chen Qiaoyi gained a lot from the teaching, and the difference between the two was immeasurable.
As a teacher, Zhou Ziwen is also very satisfied with imparting knowledge, exporting culture, and making education entertaining.
However, after the instruction, the two of them prepared the bait and waited for it to ferment. It would only take three to five days before they could use it.
【Bajiquan LV5 (16/500)】
Fishing Level 2 (14/200)
[Stonemason LV1 (35/100)]
[Grow Mushroom LV0 (25/50)]
Before going to bed at night, Zhou Ziwen looked at the auto-switch panel.
On the panel, the Bajiquan and fishing skills have just been upgraded, so their proficiency is still very low. The stonemason and mushroom planting skills have not been put into practice, so their skill levels have always been low. If you want to improve them quickly, you have to wait until the third idle position is opened.
But for him, there are never enough idle slots.
In addition to stonemasonry and mushroom growing, there are also medical skills and bean sprout growing.
His subsequent plans also include bamboo weaving, carpentry and other crafts.
For skills like bamboo weaving and carpentry, most people in rural areas know one or two of them. The only difference is the level of skill and the appearance of the woven items.
Zhou Ziwen didn't care how advanced these skills were, he just wanted them to be useful.
After all, in rural areas, many household appliances are made by themselves. If you spend money to buy everything, others will think you are a spendthrift.
As an aspiring educated youth who went to the countryside, Zhou Ziwen behaved a bit like a spendthrift, but in his opinion, those were necessary expenses and were for a better life.
But the title of prodigal son is not very pleasant, and he also wants to get rid of this title.
Being a stonemason and fishing were part of his transformation process.
The next two days were still very fulfilling for Zhou Ziwen.
He works during the day, makes stone slabs during lunch break, goes fishing by the river after work, and occasionally flirts with the young girl Chen Qiaoyi. His life is beautiful and fulfilling.
"Brother Zhou, Sister Shiying, Sister Yiyi, our house will be put up tomorrow. Come and support us at noon!"
That day, during dinner, Zhou Chaoyang said to them.
"We will definitely support you. We have already agreed that I will take a day off tomorrow to help you run the place first." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi went up to the beam to entertain guests, and Shen Zhaodi was alone after cooking, so she would definitely be too busy by then.
Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters discussed it privately and decided to take leave to help them.
After spending some time together, they developed a good relationship with both of them.
It's just a small matter, I'll help if I can.
"This... is too embarrassing!" Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi were both tempted, but also a little conflicted.
After all, it was a bit too much for the two of them to handle the work together.
They were different from Zhou Ziwen at the beginning. They had Wu Dagang, an experienced person, to guide them ahead of time. They had never experienced this before. If Zhou Ziwen had not explained it to them, they would not even be able to figure it out.
"Hey, you're being polite to me now." Zhou Ziwen patted his shoulder. "Okay, it's settled. We still have one day off this month, so it's a good time to use it now."
"Then thank you for your help." Hearing this, Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi nodded, but in their hearts, they had a better impression of them.
"It's okay, we're all friends." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand. "But since you're moving into a new house tomorrow, let's divide up our belongings!"
"What belongings?" Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi were both stunned.
"Mushrooms and firewood, of course."
"We collected all these things together, so of course you have a share."
Zhou Ziwen explained.
"We don't want this. We didn't contribute much." Hearing this, Shen Zhaodi was the first to shake her head.
"Let's share it. We can't finish all the mushrooms. They're just sitting there anyway, so we might as well give them to you. We'll have a banquet tomorrow and we can even give everyone an extra dish." Zhou Ziwen didn't care whether they refused or not. He immediately turned to look at Chen Shiying, "Sister, let's dry the mushrooms. Divide them into five portions, one for Zhou Chaoyang and one for Shen Zhaodi."
"Okay." Chen Shiying nodded in agreement.
"There's still firewood. You haven't had time to prepare it yet. I have quite a bit here. Take it first. If you feel embarrassed, you can return it later."
Zhou Ziwen did not force this.
After all, they didn't have much firewood, and he planned to save the best firewood for the winter.
Ever since he and Chen Qiaoyi started dating, their two families have become practically one. Whether it's firewood or anything else, he has to prepare two portions.
Who made him lose control of himself and eat someone else's sister?
Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi were even more touched when they saw Zhou Ziwen's thoughtful arrangement.
However, neither of them was sentimental. Although they were touched, they kept it in their hearts and did not show it.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou."
"Okay, don't be polite. I have a few fish at home, which are reserved for you. I will add a dish for everyone tomorrow. It will be my meal." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.
Seeing that Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi's house was being built day by day, Zhou Ziwen also made preparations.
The big fish we caught these two days were kept uneaten in order to prepare a feast for them.
"Brother Zhou, from now on you are my real brother." Zhou Chaoyang was instantly moved and his eyes turned red.
"Don't give me that. You know where this fish came from. It didn't cost a penny." Zhou Ziwen patted him on the back twice.
"Brother Zhou, you are so good to us. I don't know what to say." Shen Zhaodi also rarely became pretentious.
"Okay, that's it. I can't stand this."
Zhou Ziwen felt a little uncomfortable with this scene, so he made an excuse and went home.
In fact, in Zhou Ziwen's opinion, there is nothing to worry about.
Just as he said, the mushrooms were picked by everyone, the firewood was borrowed by him, and the fish was caught by him.
While these have some value, none of them cost money.
He felt that since they were friends, it was normal to exchange gifts.
It's just a little gift, not worth anything.
The next morning, Zhou Ziwen got up early. Today he and Zhou Chaoyang were going to the county town to buy wine and meat. If they went too late, they would not be able to buy meat.
Just like when they entertained guests, they had to get up early in the morning, walk to the county town, and then walk back.
Zhou Ziwen didn't care, he had plenty of energy anyway.
But Zhou Chaoyang was in a miserable situation. He had been to the county town before, and he knew how difficult it would be to get there just by thinking about it.
But as the protagonist of today, he has to go, after all, this is his own business.
It is a favor if people are willing to help; it is their duty if they don’t.
They still had breakfast at the Chen sisters' house in the morning. Chen Shiying got up early and made some egg pancakes for them to eat on the road to fill their stomachs.
