Chapter 80 Glutinous Rice Balls
For the next two days, Zhou Ziwen worked honestly during the day and went fishing by the river after work.
Although they don’t catch much every day, they never come back empty-handed. At the end of the day, they catch enough for three meals a day.
In addition to fishing, mushroom houses are also his main focus.
He has a level three mushroom growing skill, which makes his cultivation smooth.
By now, the one square meter of mushrooms cultivated at the beginning have sprouted, and will grow into solid bodies in a day or two.
The body stage is the fastest growing stage of mushrooms and also the stage that requires the most attention.
During this stage, the mushrooms begin to grow rapidly, changing every day.
If it is not cultivated carefully, it will result in reduced yield and damaged quality.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen's training was very stable and there have been no problems.
This is the advantage of having a high skill level. If it is still level one or level two, there will probably be a lot of problems.
The second batch of mushrooms also enter the germination stage. In a few days they will become solid and then grow to maturity.
Zhou Ziwen waited hopefully for the mushrooms to mature.
Once the mushrooms are ripe, his plan will begin.
…
After work that day, Zhou Ziwen carried two stone slabs home.
"Brother Ziwen, these are the last two stone slabs, right?" Chen Qiaoyi asked expectantly.
"Yes, after so many days of hard work, we finally have all the stone slabs in place." Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.
Speaking of which, he spent a lot of effort to make these stone slabs, even his lunch break was taken up.
Fortunately, after being busy for so long, we finally created enough stone slabs for two courtyards.
"Brother Ziwen, you've worked so hard. If you weren't here, my sister and I wouldn't have such an easy life." Chen Qiaoyi was so moved that she almost shed tears.
"Haha, I think I'm lucky. I met you when I just came to the countryside. If I hadn't met you, how would I live?" Zhou Ziwen said sweet words with a smile.
In fact, he also felt that he was quite lucky.
I'm so happy to meet such a beautiful girl and make her my partner.
Even the wedding date has been set.
There is no need for any dowry in this era, unlike in the past, if you don’t have a car, a house or savings, you can’t get married.
"Me too." If they weren't outside, Chen Qiaoyi would have thrown herself into his arms.
"Hey, I'm telling you two to be careful." Chen Shiying was chatting with Shen Zhaodi behind them, but she faintly heard their voices and immediately spoke up to remind them.
"Sister..." Chen Qiaoyi stomped her feet, her face turning red with shame.
“Hmph…”
Chen Shiying was too embarrassed to say it.
These two people are really getting bolder and bolder. They dare to say anything shameful.
Zhou Ziwen felt helpless standing by. There was nothing out of the ordinary about what he did!
If it were in the previous life, people would hug each other and kiss on the street.
"This sister-in-law is a little tactless!"
Zhou Ziwen glared at his sister-in-law fiercely, but thought in his heart: If she doesn't know what's good for her, he will take her in too.
On the way home, Zhou Ziwen started busying himself with laying stone slabs in the yard.
He couldn't just put the stone slab on the ground. He had to dig a hole first and then put the stone slab in the hole, with only a small part of the stone slab exposed above the ground.
This is the only way to ensure the stability of the stone slab.
Fortunately, this is not a technical job and anyone can do it. Chen Qiaoyi also came to help.
Although she doesn't have much strength and doesn't do much work, it's not tiring for a man and a woman to work together. With a beautiful girl by his side, Zhou Ziwen feels much more energetic.
A dozen stone slabs were laid in a short while.
“It’s much cleaner to walk this way.”
Zhou Ziwen stepped on it and said with a smile.
"Yeah, it's much better looking."
Chen Qiaoyi also echoed.
In fact, Zhou Ziwen's skills are quite good. The stone slabs are square and extend from the gate of the yard to the door of the house, giving the feeling of a small farmyard.
"Let's go to your house and lay the slabs."
Zhou Ziwen admired it for a while, waved to Chen Qiaoyi, and went to the next door carrying his hoe.
Here, Chen Shiying was cooking. When she heard the noise, she came out to see Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi busy in the yard.
This busy feeling is full of life, and for a moment, Chen Shiying has a warm feeling.
She found that it seemed good to have a man at home.
It's a pity that this man is my sister's...
Soon, with the help of Zhou Ziwen, the Chen sisters' yard was also paved with stone slabs.
"Brother Zhou, you are so hardworking! You are busy taking care of the family all day long. I am so envious of you."
At this time, Shen Zhaodi came over with a bowl.
"Haha, if you want, you can also find someone to help you do the work!" Zhou Ziwen said with a wink.
To be honest, he felt that Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang were quite a good match.
One is smart and the other is straightforward. It would be a good thing if they could really become a couple.
But their two families are too far apart, so it might be a bit troublesome.
"Haha, you're talking about Zhou Chaoyang! If he could be half as capable as you, I'd be thankful." Shen Zhaodi said carelessly.
She also knew that Zhou Ziwen was joking, but she didn't care. Instead, she spoke openly.
This made Zhou Ziwen feel a little embarrassed.
"You can train it yourself!" Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"I don't care about him." Shen Zhaodi curled her lips.
"Zhao Di, what are you serving?" Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously.
"Oh, this is the glutinous rice balls I made. Bring it here for you to taste." Shen Zhaodi said.
When she visited the Chen sisters these days, the sisters treated Zhou Ziwen to the chestnuts she had picked up.
She felt a little embarrassed after eating so many snacks, so here she was, giving a return gift.
"Hey, where did you get the glutinous rice? This is good stuff." Chen Qiaoyi asked in surprise.
"Zhou Chaoyang exchanged them with the villagers." Shen Zhaodi said.
"Not bad, this kid can even get this." Zhou Ziwen sighed.
I have to say that Zhou Chaoyang is a very popular guy. Not long after arriving in the countryside, he became familiar with the villagers.
Of course, this is also due to the ability of money.
"Delicious, delicious, Zhaodi, your cooking skills are amazing, just as good as my sister's."
While they were talking, Chen Qiaoyi had already reached out and picked up a glutinous rice ball, put it in her mouth and tasted it.
"Yiyi, you don't wash your hands again."
In the room, Chen Shiying, who had just come out of the kitchen, saw this scene and immediately yelled.
"Oh, it's the same if you wash it later. Sister, come and try it. The glutinous rice balls made by Zhaodi are delicious!"
Chen Qiaoyi was probably used to her sister's scolding, so she didn't react at all when she heard this. Instead, she enthusiastically invited her sister to taste it.
"well……"
Chen Shiying just felt a little tired.
It seems that she can no longer teach her younger sister.
"Brother Zhou, Sister Shiying, why don't you try the meatballs I made!" Chen Zhaodi enthusiastically handed out the meatballs in the bowl.
