Chapter 19 Treating a Guest
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen borrowed Uncle Wu’s cart, brought all the pots and pans that would be used tomorrow, and sent them to the new house with the Chen sisters.
When passing by the Educated Youth Institute, I happened to meet Chen Yang, the male educated youth captain, standing at the door.
"Brother Chen, have you eaten?" Zhou Ziwen greeted with a smile.
"I just ate, what are you doing?" Chen Yang asked with a smile on his face, knowingly.
"Isn't it that tomorrow our house will be built with beams? I'm thinking of moving some things here first so as not to be in a hurry tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen stopped. Since they met here, it couldn't be justified without a few words.
However, although the steps stopped, Zhou Ziwen's hand was still holding the cart, as if he was ready to leave at any time.
"You are still thoughtful. Just now we were talking about the beams on your house!" Chen Yang walked towards them, apparently wanting to chat more.
"Oh, are we discussing dinner? Have we discussed it yet?" Zhou Ziwen raised his eyebrows and pointed out Chen Yang's purpose for talking to them.
"You, Comrade Chen Shiying and Comrade Chen Qiaoyi were the first among us educated youth to build houses. We must come to celebrate such a big happy event." Chen Yang said enthusiastically.
"Then thank you for your support, but we don't have much food, so we have to trouble you to bring your own food."
When it comes to asking them to bring their own food, Zhou Ziwen doesn't feel embarrassed at all. , anyway, the production team only gave them a three-month advance of grain.
To be honest, this little food is not enough for him to eat alone.
Although he has a way to get food and doesn't care about the treat, he is not a good and selfless person.
Even if he is treating guests, he still wants to let the people in the Educated Youth Academy know that he is not being taken advantage of. He sincerely welcomes them and intends to take advantage of them, so there will be some blood involved.
In fact, even if he brought his own food, Zhou Ziwen would still be the loser. After all, he had to buy meat and wine, all of which required money.
But Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters don't care. They are different from other educated youths. They have money and don't care about such trivial matters.
"It should be, it should be, we are here to celebrate you, we can't let you suffer." Chen Yang said nice words.
Chen Yang is indeed a man with a high emotional intelligence. No matter what people think in their hearts, at least what he says sounds nice, otherwise he would not become the captain of the male educated youth.
"Okay, it's getting late, so I won't talk to you for now. Let's wait until tomorrow. Let's have a couple of drinks tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen also talks to people and talks to Chen. Yang is also very enthusiastic. People who don’t know better think they are good friends!
"Then you go and do your work first. We will definitely be there tomorrow." Chen Yang smiled and nodded.
Looking at the pleasant conversation between Zhou Ziwen and Chen Yang, the Chen sisters on the side remained silent.
Even the lively Chen Qiaoyi did not speak.
Obviously, because of their original experiences, they were quite repulsive towards the people in the Educated Youth Institute.
Of course, they exclude the old educated youth, but they are quite friendly to the new educated youth.
Zhou Ziwen knew that during their time in the countryside, they got along very well with several female educated youths in the same team.
Arriving at the new house, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters began to get busy.
Zhou Ziwen put all the pots and pans in the kitchen and set them up.
These are for tomorrow.
In addition, he also took the cart to the village and found a familiar aunt to exchange for some wood, which will also be used tomorrow.
"Brother Zhou, do you think we should set up a temporary stove outside? If we cook in the kitchen, I'm afraid it will affect their cooking."
When Zhou Ziwen came back, Chen Shiying came to him and said.
"Well, this is indeed a problem. Let's do this. I'll go to the river to pull some rocks back, and we'll cook outside and make do with it for now." Zhou Ziwen nodded and immediately started to take action.
If Chen Shiying hadn’t reminded him, he would never have thought about this issue.
He was still thinking about cooking directly at home, almost forgetting that it would interfere with the beam.
But now that the problem is discovered, it’s easy to solve it.
While it was still dark, Zhou Ziwen ran to the nearby river, picked up some stones, and built a simple stove in the yard. Anyway, it's just for temporary use, it doesn't need to be very beautiful.
Soon, the Chen sisters finished tidying up their house and ran to him to help.
"It seems that there are a lot of things missing in our house, including buckets and water tanks." When the work was almost done, Zhou Ziwen stretched and said.
"Yeah, I also think there are a lot of things that need to be purchased!" Chen Qiaoyi also agreed.
“Let’s buy it slowly in the future. This is a new house after all, and it won’t be ready in a short while.” Chen Shiying is quite satisfied with this new home.
Although everything is bad at home, it is their own house after all.
“A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse, right?” Zhou Ziwen joked with a smile.
"Your home is the doghouse." Chen Shiying rolled her eyes beautifully.
This is because she is familiar with Zhou Ziwen, otherwise she would not be able to see her like this.
I have to say that sometimes the charm revealed unintentionally is more attractive.
Because they put some things in the house, they also locked the door when they left.
Although it is not an important thing, locking the door can be safer.
Of course, if someone insists on stealing, just a lock is definitely useless. There is simply nothing important inside, so if it is stolen, it is stolen.
Zhou Ziwen asked the Chen sisters to go home first, and he was going to take a bath at the river.
Fortunately it is summer and you can bathe by the river, otherwise it would not be so convenient.
By the time he returned to Wu's house after taking a shower, it was already dark.
Zhou Ziwen lay on the bed and looked at the idle panel.
【Bajiquan LV4(36/400)】
[Culinary Skills LV4 (1/400)]
After AFKing his cooking skills to level 4, he AFKed Baji Quan again.
After all, level 4 cooking skills are equivalent to those of a newly minted chef, and it will not take a day or two to upgrade.
The body is the capital of revolution. Compared with cooking skills, he still thinks Bajiquan is more important.
As for cooking skills, he planned to wait until the second idle slot was opened.
A night of silence.
Before dawn the next day, Zhou Ziwen got up from the bed, got dressed and prepared to go to the county seat.
The village's oxcart only leaves the village at seven or eight o'clock. If you wait for the oxcart, you will definitely not be able to buy meat in the county.
Zhou Ziwen also worked hard to buy meat.
Looking at the time, it’s not yet five o’clock.
He came to the Chen sisters' room and knocked on their door.
After waiting for a while, there was no response. Just when he was about to knock on the door for the second time, the door was opened.
The person who opened the door was Chen Shiying.
"Brother Zhou, wait a moment, my little sister is getting up."
"Don't worry, I have to clean up." Zhou Ziwen nodded, then turned to deal with personal matters question.
