Chapter 18 Asking for leave to go to the county seat
[Culinary Skills LV4 (1/400)]
Before going to bed, Zhou Ziwen looked at the idle panel, and then fell asleep with satisfaction.
The next morning, after work, the Chen sisters told him a piece of news.
When it was about to end work, Liu Lingling came to talk to them again.
It was still a matter of treating guests to dinner, but when the Chen sisters told Zhou Ziwen's method, Liu Lingling did not refuse immediately.
After all, what they said is true. In this era, there is no need to say more about how precious food is.
Even if you treat guests to dinner, you have to prepare your own food.
Just like when they welcomed the new educated youths, didn't they each provide their own food?
Lingling Liu said that she needs to go back and discuss this matter with everyone before she can reply to them tomorrow.
"Let them discuss it! It doesn't matter if they come or not."
Zhou Ziwen doesn't care. It doesn't matter whether he comes or not.
In the final analysis, the main reason why we are willing to treat guests is to invite the villagers who built the houses.
Although I paid the money, I still deserve a treat after working hard for so many days.
“After dinner, I’m going to go to the new house. Uncle Liang helped us make the doors and windows and will deliver them over later.”
Uncle Liang Wu was a carpenter with very good skills. Through Uncle Wu, Zhou Ziwen asked him to help make doors and windows, and also help them build some furniture.
"Then let's go together!" Chen Shiying said.
This is not Zhou Ziwen’s fault alone, they also have a share, including furniture and the like. They have done more than Zhou Ziwen.
After all, Zhou Ziwen is one person and they are two. It is understandable to have more objects.
"Okay, let's all go take a look." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Talking all the way, they soon returned to Uncle Wu's house.
As before, the Chen sisters helped cook, and Zhou Ziwen went to the river to take a bath. When he came back, it was time for dinner.
After the meal was finished, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters headed to the new house together.
Liang Wushu came earlier than them. When they arrived, Liang Wushu was already here.
"Zhou Zhiqing, I have already finished the doors and windows of your two houses. The other furniture will have to wait for a few days." Liang Wushu said.
"Okay, Uncle Liang, we are not in a hurry here, just take your time."
Zhou Ziwen expressed understanding, not to mention the Chen sisters, he alone wanted a lot of things, such as cupboards , tables, benches, wardrobes, desks and other things are basically all ready.
The Chen sisters want similar things to him, but they are girls and need more things.
Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters are not short of money and are willing to spend money to buy things.
These furniture alone cost a full twenty yuan.
Sister Chen Jia had more money than him, a full twenty-five yuan.
Uncle Liang is a real person. He not only delivers the goods to your door, but also includes installation.
With his help, doors and windows were finally installed in the houses of sisters Zhou Ziwen and Chen.
Except for the lack of upper beams, this house is no different from a normal house.
They can move in after the beams are installed tomorrow.
It took a lot of time to install the doors and windows. By the time the installation was completed, it was already time to start work in the afternoon.
“After work in the afternoon, I am going to move the pots and pans here first, and then take a leave tomorrow to go to the county to buy some meat and wine.”
On the way to work. , Zhou Ziwen said his next plan.
“Brother Zhou, I’m going too.”
When he heard that Zhou Ziwen was going to the county seat, Chen Qiaoyi also wanted to join in the fun. "Just don't go. I have to go early tomorrow, otherwise I won't be able to buy meat and have to walk back and forth." Zhou Ziwen shook his head.
The last time he went to the county town, he didn't buy any meat. He didn't plan to make a bullock cart this time. With his legs and feet, it wouldn't be difficult to walk.
“But I want to go too!” Chen Qiaoyi said pitifully.
"Then you go with Brother Zhou. I will cook at home tomorrow." Seeing her sister getting close to Zhou Ziwen, Chen Shiying was silent for a moment and said.
Through these days of contact, she also knows that Zhou Ziwen is a very good person, and looking at her sister, she also has a good impression of him.
She did not object to the relationship between her sister and Zhou Ziwen, but was willing to promote it.
I just don’t know why, but I feel a sour feeling in my heart.
"Am I also in love with him?" Looking at Zhou Ziwen's handsome face, Chen Shiying shook her head subconsciously.
Since my sister likes it, let her like it...
"Can you do it? The journey back and forth is so long, so don't tire yourself out." Zhou Ziwen was not sure. looked at Chen Qiaoyi.
Of course he would be willing to be accompanied by a beautiful woman, but he was a little worried that the girl would be tired.
"Don't worry, I can persist even though I'm so tired from farm work. I'm just walking a little bit. I'm sure I can do it." Chen Qiaoyi raised her head, full of confidence.
"Okay, as long as you don't complain when the time comes." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"Huh! Who are you looking down on!" Chen Qiaoyi wrinkled her nose, looking extremely cute.
At this moment, Zhou Ziwen felt a heartbeat.
He felt that he seemed to have fallen in love with this lively and lovely girl.
Along the way, they also discussed the treat for tomorrow.
When the time comes, the two families will do it together, and the money spent will be equally divided.
Neither Zhou Ziwen nor the Chen sisters are fussy people, and they settled the matter in just a few words.
When they arrived in the field, Zhou Ziwen went to the fourth team, and the Chen sisters went to the eighth team.
Zhou Ziwen is now an expert at work and can get ten full work points every day.
The Chen sisters have also adapted to farm work in the fields and can earn six or seven work points every day.
Although it is not much, it is enough for girls.
Getting busy, the afternoon passed quickly.
"Uncle Wu, we would like to take a day off tomorrow." Back at Wu's house, Zhou Ziwen said to Wu Dagang.
"Okay, I know you have business to do, so I've approved this fake." Wu Dagang did not embarrass them, and he also knew that their house would be built tomorrow.
"Thank you, Uncle Wu, remember to go have dinner with Aunt Chen tomorrow!" Zhou Ziwen extended the invitation.
"Okay, I'm sure to arrive tomorrow." Wu Dagang nodded readily.
After spending so many days together, Wu Dagang has become very familiar with them and has never met anyone else.
To be honest, Zhou Ziwen was very grateful to Wu Dagang.
Since going to the countryside, if Wu Dagang had not been helping them, they would not be as relaxed as they are now.
Not to mention anything else, just the things in the Educated Youth Institute can annoy people to death.
In the past few days, although they did not live in the Educated Youth Home, they also heard about some conflicts there.
The current Educated Youth Academy has been divided into several gangs.
There are male educated youths and female educated youths, as well as new educated youths and old educated youths. In short, they don’t like each other, and they even cook meals separately.
Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters were very lucky to have come to stay at Uncle Wu's house. Otherwise, if nothing else, at least they would not be as happy as they are now.
