After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen went out with a butcher knife.
Yesterday I promised Li Lei that I would go to his sister's house to help slaughter a pig.
Zhenghong had nothing to do at home, so he just took care of this matter first.
Li Lei's sister is Li Hongmei, and she is already married.
However, her house is not far from Li Lei's house, it can even be said to be next to it.
Li Lei and Wu Dagang are also neighbors. When passing by Wu Dagang's house, Zhou Ziwen happened to see Wu Dagang walking out with his hands behind his back.
"Uncle Wu, are you going out?"
Zhou Ziwen shouted.
"Hey, Ziwen, why are you here?" Wu Dagang asked in surprise.
Zhou Ziwen shook the butcher knife in his hand and explained with a smile, "Uncle Wu, I'm going to Li Lei's sister's house to help butcher the pig."
"Oh? They invited you? Well, that's right. You have good skills, so they should invite you."
Wu Dagang was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized.
Others may not know Zhou Ziwen's abilities, but he knows them very well.
Apart from anything else, Zhou Ziwen's beautiful knife skills alone are unmatched by ordinary people.
Wu Dagang smiled and patted Zhou Ziwen on the shoulder. "Go ahead, then. Remember to show them your skills so they can see what you're capable of."
"Haha! I will." Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.
He must show off his skills, as this is how he makes extra money.
Although the harvest is not much, it is still an income.
"By the way, many people have come to me recently to ask for places in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University program. Are you interested?" Wu Dagang asked.
Although he knew that Zhou Ziwen was not very interested, he also wanted to hear what he had to say.
After all, Zhou Ziwen is now the leader of the mushroom group, and the mushroom planting base depends on him.
If he had any ideas, things would be difficult at the mushroom cultivation base.
"Uncle Wu, forget it. Give the spot to someone else! I think it's nice to stay in the countryside. There aren't so many messes. It's very comfortable."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and shook his head.
"Haha, that's good. If you have any ideas, you can tell me. If you really want to leave, we won't stop you."
Wu Dagang said seriously.
If someone else wants a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, they may have to try every possible way.
But if this person was Zhou Ziwen, neither Wu Dagang nor the team leader would stop him.
Even if he just asks, the spot will be his.
"Thank you, Uncle Wu, but I really don't have this idea now. I just want to develop the mushroom planting base and make life in the village better and better." Zhou Ziwen said gratefully.
Neither Wu Dagang nor the team leader had any complaints about his attitude.
Zhou Ziwen was also very grateful for this.
If it weren't for them, with his abilities, he could have lived a good life in the countryside, but it certainly wouldn't have been so smooth.
It can be said that Wu Dagang and the team leader are both his benefactors.
"Well, I'm glad that you have this intention. Then you go and do your work. I'll go to the production team branch." Wu Dagang nodded with satisfaction and felt relieved.
If Zhou Ziwen really left, it would be hard to say whether the village's mushroom cultivation base could still operate smoothly.
If it were someone else, they might try every possible way to keep Zhou Ziwen.
But Wu Dagang didn't have this idea.
Zhou Ziwen is too outstanding. If he really wants to leave, they won’t be able to keep him.
Moreover, if he really had to force him to stay, Wu Dagang felt that he would not be able to live with his conscience.
Watching Wu Dagang walk away leisurely with his hands behind his back, Zhou Ziwen smiled and shook his head.
This old man likes to think too much and wants to test him with words.
Unfortunately, he really had no intention of leaving.
Even if I want to leave, it has to be after the college entrance examination is resumed.
And before leaving, he will definitely train a group of talents for the village.
Apart from anything else, at least it can ensure the normal operation of the mushroom cultivation base.
Zhou Ziwen continued walking towards Li Hongmei's house and arrived there soon.
Li Lei, his sister, and brother-in-law were already waiting in the yard. When they saw Zhou Ziwen, Li Lei hurried over to greet them: "Ziwen, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you."
"Sorry, I'm a little late." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"It's not too late, we've just gotten ready." Li Hongmei responded with a smile.
Everyone came to the pigpen. The pigs in the pen didn't look big, weighing only about 100 pounds.
Li Hongmei said somewhat embarrassedly: "This pig is not well raised and is not heavy enough, so we can only kill it for meat."
"It doesn't matter, it's all meat, no matter how big or small." Zhou Ziwen comforted with a smile.
As he said this, he walked into the pigpen, reached out, grabbed the pig's ears, and dragged it out.
The pig began to struggle, making a "grunt" sound from its mouth.
Zhou Ziwen was very strong and dragged the pig to the chopping board prepared in the yard in a few seconds.
He picked up the butcher knife and skillfully cut the pig's throat. The pig's blood immediately flowed out into the basin prepared below.
Then, Zhou Ziwen, Li Lei and others began to perm and shave the pigs' hair.
Li Hongmei watched from the side and felt a little distressed.
"I've raised this pig for so long, I'm really reluctant to let it go."
Her husband comforted her, "We can't help it. We didn't take good care of it, so this is the only way. Let's take good care of it this year and try to raise a big one."
After dealing with the pig hair, Zhou Ziwen began to cut the pork.
He first cut off the pig's head and set it aside, then divided the pig's body into two halves and cut it into pieces.
Li Lei helped and put the chopped pork into the house.
Li Hongmei smiled and said to Zhou Ziwen, "Ziwen, come have lunch at our house today and try this pork."
"Sister Hongmei, no need. I have children at home and I have to go back to look after them."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and shook his head.
Helping to kill the pig will only require a set of pig viscera.
"Hahaha, Ziwen, now that you have a daughter, your heart is all on her." Li Lei joked.
"Haha, this is my first time being a father. It's normal to love my daughter a little bit!" Zhou Ziwen did not deny it and kept smiling.
"Haha, Ziwen, you are so good to your daughter. If you have a son in the future, you will be so lucky." Li Lei continued to joke.
"Haha, it's all the same. I love my son and daughter equally." Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.
"Yes, Ziwen is right. Now sons and daughters are the same. They are all made of flesh and blood." Li Hongmei also retorted.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, and you are all right." Li Lei raised his hands in surrender.
Then everyone laughed again, and Zhou Ziwen continued to cut the pork.
After a while, the pork was cut into pieces and Zhou Ziwen put the internal organs away, ready to take them back later.
"Ziwen, are you going back now?" Li Hongmei asked hurriedly when she saw Zhou Ziwen packing up and getting ready to leave.
"Yes, Sister Hongmei, I'll go back first. You guys can take your time." Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.
"Ziwen, thank you for your help today." Li Hongmei and her husband hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
"Ziwen, thanks so much to you today. I'll treat you to a drink next time I have the chance." Li Lei also said from the side.
"Haha, Brother Li, why should we be polite to each other? We are all friends, and it is our duty to help each other." Zhou Ziwen smiled and waved his hand.
"Okay, I won't keep you any longer, you can go back first."
Li Lei was not pretentious. He knew that Zhou Ziwen had children at home and he really needed to go back to take care of them.
"Okay, I'll go back first, you guys take your time."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded, then left with the pig's entrails. (End of this chapter)
