"Uncle Zhao, you did a good job. These chickens look healthy."
Seeing Zhao Youcai's expectant expression, Zhou Ziwen said discerningly.
The smile on Zhao Youcai's face became even brighter: "Thanks to your guidance and help, we were able to have such a smooth incubation process."
Zhou Ziwen waved his hand and said modestly: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I just came up with some ideas."
"Uncle Zhao, the next few days are a critical period. We must strengthen monitoring to ensure that every chicken can break out of its shell smoothly." Zhou Ziwen reminded.
Zhao Youcai nodded seriously: "I have arranged manpower to take turns guarding you 24 hours a day. There will be absolutely no negligence."
The two discussed some precautions in the later stage of incubation, and Zhou Ziwen left the incubation room with confidence.
With a responsible person like Zhao Youcai, he doesn't need to worry too much.
Judging from the current situation, the pig farm and chicken farm are on the right track. Next, only need to follow the steps, and Dabazi Village can develop smoothly.
Back home, Zhou Ziwen continued to translate journals. When he was tired, he played with little Yueyue for a while to relax.
As for the production team, through the efforts of the Educated Youth Office to scare the monkeys, and the strict management of Wu Dagang and the team leader, the attitude of the educated youth has changed significantly.
They began to take farm work more seriously and no longer slacked off or complained as before.
The captain and Wu Dagang saw this and felt very relieved.
It just so happened that the production team was not very busy during this period, and some educated youth also had new ideas.
Especially for those educated youth who had just gone to the countryside, some of their families were in very good condition. Seeing that Zhou Ziwen and others had built their own houses, they also thought about moving out of the educated youth home.
After all, the conditions in the Educated Youth Home are just like that, crowded and crude. Compared with living alone, it is a world of difference.
Because they had no experience and Zhou Ziwen's house was very good, several educated youths who wanted to build a house discussed it and came to him to learn from his experience.
When they arrived at Zhou Ziwen's house, Zhou Ziwen was reading journals in the yard, and little Yueyue was sleeping soundly in the cradle nearby.
Seeing the educated youths arriving, Zhou Ziwen put down the journal in his hand and stood up to greet them.
The educated youths explained their intentions somewhat cautiously. Zhou Ziwen said with a smile: "Building a house is actually very simple. You just need to choose a good place and then go to Secretary Wu. He will help you find someone to build a house."
During this period, the villagers also had more leisure time. They could also make extra money by helping the educated youth build houses.
After hearing Zhou Ziwen's words, the educated youths felt their hearts drop, and their faces showed joyful smiles.
They were originally worried that they would encounter many difficulties when building a house, but they did not expect to receive so much support in the village.
One of the educated youths said gratefully: "Comrade Zhou, thank you so much. You showed us a clear way."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and waved his hand: "We are all from the same village, so we should help each other. When your house is built, just live a good life."
After the educated youths left Zhou Ziwen's home, they couldn't wait to choose a place to build their houses.
They carefully surveyed the area around the village, taking into account factors such as lighting, ventilation and transportation.
After some discussion, a place close to the Educated Youth Center was finally selected.
The village has regulations that they, the educated youth, can only build houses in the area of the Educated Youth Courtyard, so as to facilitate management.
After choosing a place, the educated youths happily went to tell Wu Dagang the news.
Wu Dagang came to the open space to inspect it, approved their choice, and told them that they would arrange for villagers to come over and start work as soon as possible. The next day, a group of able-bodied villagers, led by Wu Dagang, arrived at the building site.
Most of these villagers are masons, carpenters and other craftsmen in the village. They are experienced and skilled.
The educated youths welcomed them warmly and were full of expectations.
Zhou Ziwen's English skills also reached level 4 on this day.
【English LV4】(4/400)
After reaching CET-4, Zhou Ziwen clearly felt that his ability to understand and use English had made a qualitative leap.
When he picked up the untranslated journal again, the sentences and complex grammatical structures that once seemed a little obscure now seemed to become clearer.
His reading speed has accelerated a lot, and he can almost understand the meaning of the entire paragraph in one go. He no longer needs to ponder the meaning of each word over and over as before.
During the translation process, he found that he could more accurately grasp the artistic conception and logic of the original text, and choose more appropriate and precise Chinese vocabulary to express it.
He has also become more proficient in translating professional terms. He is no longer limited to superficial interpretations, but can deeply understand their true meaning in specific contexts and provide translations that comply with industry standards.
On this day, he sat at the table and translated the journal attentively.
The sun shone on him through the window, creating patches of light and shadow.
Little Yueyue was amusing herself in the cradle nearby, occasionally making a few babbling sounds, as if cheering for her father.
The pen in Zhou Ziwen's hand kept sliding on the paper, and neat lines of Chinese sentences gradually filled the paper.
As his English proficiency has improved, his translation efficiency has greatly improved. The remaining part that was originally expected to take several days to complete can now be completed in just one day.
He was immersed in this efficient working state and forgot the passage of time.
When he finally finished translating the last word, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
He carefully checked the translation manuscript, and after confirming that it was correct, he organized it and set it aside.
At this time, he realized that the sky was getting dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky orange-red.
Chen Qiaoyi walked into the room and saw Zhou Ziwen finishing his work. He smiled and said, "Brother Ziwen, you have worked hard today. Is the translation completed?"
Zhou Ziwen raised his head and looked at Chen Qiaoyi's gentle smile, and the fatigue in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
He nodded and said: "Well, it's done. It can be handed in tomorrow."
"So fast?" Chen Qiaoyi opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"Yes, thanks to my improvement in English, I can translate much faster than before." Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile, his eyes shining with pride.
Chen Qiaoyi stepped forward, patted him gently on the shoulder, and praised: "Brother Ziwen, you are so amazing. Not only do you do good farm work, but you can also complete the translation work so efficiently."
Zhou Ziwen stood up, stretched, and said with a smile: "Qiaoyi, this would not be possible without your support. Without you, I would not be able to concentrate on my work."
Chen Qiaoyi smiled, her eyes full of tenderness: "We are your family, and we should support you. By the way, dinner is almost ready. Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhou Ziwen responded and went to wash his hands and prepare dinner.
At dinner, the family sat around the dining table, and the atmosphere was warm and pleasant. (End of chapter)
