After processing the prey, Zhou Ziwen went to check on the goats.
Perhaps because of its leg injury, the goat is now lying on the hay, but from its restless appearance, it can be seen that it is still somewhat wary and uncomfortable with this new environment.
"It seems that taming is not that easy!"
Zhou Ziwen was not surprised by the goat's performance.
After all, this goat was originally wild.
It takes time and patience to fully tame it.
Zhou Ziwen walked to the side of the goat, and as soon as he got close, the goat got up from the ground vigilantly.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziwen did not rush to approach, but stopped and soothed in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
He knew that initial alarm and uneasiness were normal reactions for wild animals.
At this time, if you are too impatient, it will backfire.
The goat stared at Zhou Ziwen with its ears slightly tilted back, a sign of vigilance.
Zhou Ziwen didn't say anything, just stood there quietly, looking at the goat with calm eyes.
After a while, the goat seemed to sense that Zhou Ziwen had no hostility, and its ears slowly returned to their normal position. Although it was still alert, it was no longer as nervous as before.
Zhou Ziwen slowly stretched out his hand, his movements very lightly and gently, avoiding any action that might scare the goat.
He placed his hand in front of the goat so it could get used to his scent.
The goat first retracted its neck, but soon stopped and carefully sniffed Zhou Ziwen's hand with its nose.
Zhou Ziwen maintained this posture and let the goat get familiar with him.
After a while, the goat seemed to be less resistant to Zhou Ziwen's smell. Although there was still vigilance in its eyes, there was also a bit more curiosity.
Zhou Ziwen gently stroked the goat's forehead and continued to whisper soothing words. The goat trembled slightly, but did not shy away.
Zhou Ziwen took some fresh grass from the side and handed it to the goat's mouth.
The goat hesitated for a moment, then began to chew slowly, but its eyes were always fixed on Zhou Ziwen, as if observing his every move.
Zhou Ziwen felt happy to see that the goat accepted him so quickly.
But he knew that the reason why it was so easy was mainly due to his breeding and animal taming skills.
His breeding skills have given him a deep understanding of the habits and needs of animals, while his animal training skills have enabled him to better communicate with animals and build trusting relationships.
However, although the goat has begun to accept him, it will take more time and effort to completely tame it.
After getting familiar with the goat for a while, Zhou Ziwen left the backyard.
He returned to the kitchen and saw Chen Shiying busy preparing dinner.
The stove is filled with various ingredients. Fragrant rice is cooking in the pot, and rabbit meat is stewed in the pot next to it, emitting an enticing aroma.
"How's the goat?" Chen Shiying asked while cutting vegetables.
"It's going better than I expected. It's starting to accept me."
Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile, then walked to the stove and helped add some firewood.
"That's good. I hope it can get better soon and adapt to here as soon as possible." Chen Shiying said.
While they were happily preparing dinner, the atmosphere in the Youth League Institute was not very good.
Especially some educated youth who were punished to work at the pig farm today.
Led by Jiang Xiaohong, there were also some educated youth who were inspired and attracted by her charm.
Jiang Xiaohong was not bad looking, dressed fashionably, and loved to dress up, so it was not difficult for her to control these educated youth who had just graduated from school.
After all, girls mature earlier than boys.
Today's experience at the pig farm was undoubtedly a nightmare for them.
Not only does the pig farm smell bad, but the work is also very hard.
These educated youth had never done this kind of work at home, and today they experienced what hard work was.
"Xiaohong, what do you think we should do? Do we have to go to the pig farm to work every day from now on?" asked a female educated youth with a sad face.
"Yes, Xiaohong, we have suffered enough today. Do we still need to go tomorrow?" another educated youth said in a tearful voice.
Jiang Xiaohong's face didn't look good either. She was extremely tired today and her body was covered in the stench of pig manure, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Oh, what else can we do? The team leader said that we all have to go to the pig farm to work this month." Jiang Xiaohong sighed.
"But this job is too dirty and too tiring. I really don't want to go." The female educated youth had red eyes and looked like she would cry at any moment.
"Xiaohong, do you think we can go and beg the captain to let us go this time?" a male educated youth suggested.
"It's useless. It's difficult to change what the captain has decided." Jiang Xiaohong shook her head.
"Then what should we do? Do we really have to do this kind of work here?" The female educated youth was about to cry.
"Don't be anxious, let me think about it." Jiang Xiaohong frowned, and she was also anxious in her heart.
She didn't expect that she just wanted to fight for some benefits for the educated youth, but ended up like this.
"Xiaohong, why don't we go find Zhou Ziwen! He is the leader of the Mushroom Group and has such a good reputation in the village. Let's go and beg him to plead for us." An educated youth suggested.
"Yes, why didn't I think of that!" Jiang Xiaohong's eyes lit up.
Zhou Ziwen has a high prestige in Dabazi Village, and he has a good relationship with the team leader and Secretary Wu. If he is willing to help, perhaps the situation can turn around.
"Okay, then let's go find him now." Jiang Xiaohong stood up immediately.
The other educated youth also stood up and followed Jiang Xiaohong to find Zhou Ziwen.
They arrived at Zhou Ziwen's door, and Zhou Ziwen was helping cook in the kitchen.
Generally speaking, this time period is when people cook and eat, and unless there is an emergency, no one will visit each other casually.
But it was obvious that Jiang Xiaohong and his group could not wait any longer.
"Comrade Ziwen, is Comrade Ziwen home?"
The gate of Zhou Ziwen's yard was open, but the big dogs in the yard did not dare to step in.
"Who is it?" Zhou Ziwen heard the shouting outside the door and poked his head out of the kitchen.
"Comrade Ziwen, we are the educated youth from the Educated Youth Institute." Jiang Xiaohong replied.
Zhou Ziwen walked out of the kitchen and came to the yard, where he saw Jiang Xiaohong and several other educated youth standing outside the gate, looking anxious.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Comrade Ziwen, we are working so hard at the pig farm today. Can you talk to the team leader for us and ask him to let us stop working there?" Jiang Xiaohong said hesitantly.
Zhou Ziwen frowned. He hadn't expected these educated youth to come to him. (End of this chapter)
