After staying in Niushan Village for a while and explaining some precautions, Zhou Ziwen rejected Niu Jiefang's offer to stay and rode his bicycle back to Dabazi Village.
After being delayed for so long, work will soon be over.
He looked at the time and didn't plan to go to the pig farm.
Zhou Ziwen simply turned the car around and went home directly.
When he returned home, Chen Qiaoyi was sleeping with little Yueyue. Seeing this, Zhou Ziwen did not disturb him.
He came to the yard, fished out the eel he caught last night and started processing it.
After Zhou Ziwen took care of the eel, Chen Shiying also came back from work.
"You're back, what happened to the mushrooms in Niushan Village? Is there nothing wrong?" Chen Shiying asked with concern.
"It's okay, the small problem has been solved."
Zhou Ziwen said as he washed the eel.
"That's good." Chen Shiying breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
She looked at the eel in Zhou Ziwen's hand and smiled: "Shall we eat eel for lunch?"
"Yes, the eels this season are very plump, just right for you and Qiaoyi to replenish their health." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
When Chen Shiying heard this, a happy smile appeared on her face, and she took the initiative to help make lunch.
Zhou Ziwen cut the eel into sections and added red pepper, garlic, ginger slices and other condiments to create a delicious braised eel.
This dish is full of flavor and appetizing.
Chen Shiying also fried some vegetables and made an egg soup, a combination of meat and vegetables, which is nutritious and healthy.
"By the way, Chaoyang and the others haven't eaten yet. I'll ask them to come over and eat together." Zhou Ziwen said.
This eel was caught by him and Zhou Chaoyang last night. Of course, he couldn't eat it alone this time.
"Well, go ahead and call them!" Chen Shiying nodded.
When Zhou Ziwen heard this, he turned around and walked out. He came to the door of Zhou Chaoyang's house and shouted: "Chaoyang, is the meal ready? Come and eat together."
"Okay! I still have one dish that I haven't cooked yet. I'll come over when it's done." Zhou Chaoyang in the room agreed.
"Then hurry up."
"Okay!"
After calling Zhou Chaoyang, Zhou Ziwen went to Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao's home and asked them to come over and eat together.
They are also cooking at this moment.
After a while, Zhou Chaoyang, Shen Zhaodi, and Tang Yaoyao all came over.
Each of them held two plates of food in their hands and came together to share the meal.
They have long been accustomed to situations like this.
If anyone has delicious food, they will shout together. There are many people eating and it is lively and fragrant. Soon, several people were sitting together, talking and laughing, eating lunch.
"Brother Zhou, you did a great job with the eel! It's so delicious." Zhou Chaoyang couldn't help but praise while eating the eel.
"Haha, if you like it, we can eat it together later." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Okay! This eel is so fragrant, much more delicious than loach." Zhou Chaoyang agreed.
"Well, it's indeed delicious. Ziwen, please eat more." Chen Shiying gave Zhou Ziwen a piece of eel meat.
During this time, Zhou Ziwen was also busy and almost lost weight.
"Shiying, you eat too!" Zhou Ziwen took a bite and gave Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying some rice eel meat.
Several people chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. After lunch, Zhou Chaoyang and the others took their plates home.
Zhou Ziwen held little Yueyue and played in the yard for a while.
After the two sisters finished their work, Zhou Ziwen handed little Yueyue to them and went back to the house to sleep. Zhou Ziwen didn't wake up from the kang until after two o'clock in the afternoon.
He washed his face and went directly to the pig farm.
After Zhou Ziwen arrived at the pig farm, he went directly to the incubator.
The temperature and humidity in the incubator are maintained at the right level to ensure that the eggs hatch under optimal conditions.
At this time, ten days had passed since the hatching began, and most of the eggs had obvious changes.
He gently picked up each egg and held it up to the light to determine the embryo's development.
He found that there was obvious movement inside most of the eggs, and the embryonic shapes of some chicks were vaguely visible, indicating that the hatching was progressing smoothly.
Judging from the current situation, these eggs will hatch in about ten days.
By then, the chicken farm will also be busy.
After Zhou Ziwen came out of the incubation room, he walked straight to the warehouse.
There was a faint smell of engine oil in the warehouse, and the tractor, which had not been completely repaired, was parked quietly in the corner.
Zhou Ziwen walked to the tractor and looked at it carefully.
After previous maintenance, some parts of the tractor have been repaired and replaced, but some key parts still need further adjustment.
He first inspected the engine part and found that some previously repaired areas needed to be reinforced.
So, he picked up the tools, skillfully removed the engine casing, and carefully inspected and adjusted the internal parts.
He tightened some loose screws and replaced several badly worn gaskets to ensure the sealing and stability of the engine.
Zhou Ziwen continued his maintenance work in the warehouse. His hands dexterously danced among the various parts of the tractor, and every movement revealed his deep understanding of machinery and proficiency.
After replacing and adjusting the engine parts, Zhou Ziwen began to check the tractor's hydraulic system.
The hydraulic system is also critical to the operation of the tractor. If there is a problem with the hydraulic system, it will affect many functions of the tractor, such as the lifting and lowering of suspended agricultural tools.
Zhou Ziwen opened the protective cover of the hydraulic system and carefully observed the internal oil pipes, oil seals, hydraulic pumps and other components.
He found that there was slight oil leakage at the interfaces of some oil pipes, which may cause the loss of hydraulic oil and thus affect the pressure of the system.
He took out the tool, carefully loosened the nut of the oil pipe interface, removed the old oil seal, and replaced it with a new one.
During the installation process, he ensured that the oil seal was installed in place and applied an appropriate amount of sealant to enhance the sealing effect.
After two hours of repairing the tractor, Zhou Ziwen stretched out and planned to end the day's work.
Tractors cannot be repaired in a day or two. Although some progress has been made in the maintenance of tractors today, there is still a long way to go before they are completely repaired.
After walking out of the warehouse, Zhou Ziwen took a deep breath of fresh air. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, making him feel that the fatigue of the day seemed to have been relieved a lot.
Zhou Ziwen returned home and saw Chen Qiaoyi playing with little Yueyue in the yard.
"Brother Ziwen, you are back." Chen Qiaoyi saw Zhou Ziwen and greeted him with a smile.
"Well, I'm a little tired repairing the tractor today, but the progress is pretty good." Zhou Ziwen responded with a smile.
"Brother Ziwen, go wash up and rest quickly, I'll cook." Chen Qiaoyi said softly.
"Okay, you keep an eye on Yueyue first, and I'll take care of the eel."
There are still some eels left, so I can make another meal tonight.
Zhou Ziwen came to the yard and started handling the eel.
With his skillful skills, he quickly cleaned the eel and cut it into sections, preparing to make a delicious dish in the evening.
Not long after, Chen Shiying also came back.
Zhou Ziwen sat in the yard, playing with little Yueyue, listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen, and his heart was filled with warmth and satisfaction.
This is the life he longs for, where his family lives in harmony and works together for a better life. (End of chapter)
