Chapter 25 Improving the Quality of Life
"Uncle Wu, are you in trouble?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
“Alas, we received a notice today that a group of educated youth will go to the countryside in two days. We don’t know how many will come this time, and we don’t know how to arrange it!”
Wu Dagang sighed. In the past few years, the sending of educated youths to the countryside has been their biggest worry.
The first is the resettlement issue, and the second is the food issue.
Their village can barely be considered a wealthy village, but its annual grain output is considerable.
For every additional educated youth, they will give out an extra piece of food.
In the eyes of many villagers, educated youths come to the countryside to grab food from them.
Not everyone is like Zhou Ziwen, who works hard and never complains about being tired.
Many educated youths who went to the countryside could not bear the hardships of the countryside. They procrastinated in their work and looked down on the country people.
This is one of the reasons why most villagers dislike educated youth.
"Are the educated youth coming again? Where will they live?" Zhou Ziwen was a little surprised.
He knew the place of the Educated Youth Yard. There were only three rooms in total, one for men, one for women, and the remaining one was the woodshed and kitchen.
There is only one kang in each room. After they built their own house to live in, there were exactly ten people in one room.
Just think about it, what would it be like to sleep ten people on a kang?
If people continue to come now, the house in the Educated Youth Yard will no longer be able to accommodate them.
“We are also worried about this matter!” Wu Dagang was a little irritated, which is why he complained to Zhou Ziwen after seeing him.
I just want to find someone to talk to.
"Haha, I can't help with this matter. How about we renovate the Educated Youth Institute." Zhou Ziwen shrugged and said casually.
He can stand and talk without pain in his back. After all, he has moved out and it is not his turn to take care of how to arrange the new educated youths when they arrive.
"It's not that simple. It's not that we can't bear to part with the materials, the main reason is that the land of the Educated Youth Institute has been used by them to grow vegetables." Wu Dagang glanced at Zhou Ziwen angrily. He felt that this guy was a little gloating.
"Hey, what are you afraid of? The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. At worst, we can gather the people from the Educated Youth Institute and discuss it first." Zhou Ziwen said.
Since the village is willing to provide materials to renovate the house, let the educated youth from the Educated Youth Institute free up the space.
After all, the place in the Educated Youth Institute belongs to the production team. If you really want to be serious, you have to make room for it.
"We should really discuss it with the Educated Youth Institute." Wu Dagang thought for a while and felt that this was a good idea.
When the new educated youth are coming, the Educated Youth Academy should also come up with an idea on how to arrange them.
After all, this matter was decided from above, and they can't change it.
Chatted with Wu Dagang for a few more words. Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Ziwen was ready to go home for dinner.
Of course, before leaving, he took another leave.
Originally, all you had to do to ask for leave was to ask the team leader, but Zhou Ziwen felt that since you were all at Uncle Wu's house anyway, you might as well just ask for leave from him.
When he arrives at the branch tomorrow, Uncle Wu will naturally help him get it done.
By the time he got home, the Chen sisters had almost finished cooking.
Actually, both of them can cook, but Chen Qiaoyi obviously doesn't have much talent in cooking, and the dishes she cooks are never as delicious as Chen Shiying's.
Chen Qiaoyi is very self-aware about this. In their family, Chen Shiying is the one who cooks, and she can only play the role of a helper.
Maybe it’s because I just moved today, and today’s meal is very rich.
I don’t know who they found in exchange for a smoked fish and made a braised fish dish.
There are also shredded potatoes and fried cabbage.
The staple food is white flour steamed buns.
Although there are only three dishes, it seems to Zhou Ziwen that it is already very rich.
After all, in the past few days since he came to the countryside, except for going to the county seat and today, he had never smelled of meat. When it comes to eating meat, Zhou Ziwen thinks it is a big deal.
In his previous life, he was the master of all things flesh and blood. Since traveling to this era, he can tolerate everything else, except that he has no fat in his stomach and is always hungry for meat.
As the old saying goes, you can rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and you can rely on the water to eat the water.
We have all come to the countryside, so we have to find a way to get some meat.
At present, there are not many ways to get meat, but there are also many. One is to buy it with money, but selling meat requires a ticket. He doesn’t have much of this stuff. It’s okay to satisfy the craving occasionally, but it can’t be solved. Fundamental problem.
Or go fishing in the river. His house happens to be not far from the river. After work, he has plenty of time to fish.
But fishing has to wait first. His fishing skills are not very good. If he wants to gain anything, he has to wait until his fishing skills improve.
In a few days, the second AFK slot will be opened. He plans to AFK his fishing skills and wait until his skill level improves before going there.
Of course, it’s not enough to just eat fish, you have to eat meat. He has already thought about it. When he goes to the county town tomorrow, he will go to the market to buy two hens and raise them.
You cannot raise too many chickens, only two. If you exceed it, you will make a mistake.
"Sister, Yiyi, when I go to the county town tomorrow, I am going to buy two chickens. Do you want to buy them together?" During the meal, Zhou Ziwen told the two sisters about raising chickens.
“Can we raise chickens?” Chen Shiying was a little excited, but she was afraid of getting into trouble.
“I’ve made it clear, as long as there are no more than two, it’ll be fine.” Zhou Ziwen said.
He actually asked about this matter. Those in the village who had the conditions would basically raise two chickens.
However, some people find it troublesome and are unwilling to raise them.
After all, chickens also need to eat food. Although they can be kept free-range and let them eat bugs outside, they still need to be fed after returning home.
Some families don’t have enough to eat, so they naturally don’t raise any poultry.
“But we don’t seem to have much food!” Chen Shiying hesitated.
“If it’s gone, just spend money to buy it!” Zhou Ziwen said.
Raising chickens to eat eggs was a way he thought of.
It’s not that you have to eat eggs, the main reason is that your body needs nutrients.
As a martial arts practitioner, if your nutrition cannot keep up, there will be big problems.
In order to solve this problem, it doesn’t matter if you spend a little more money.
Zhou Ziwen calculated that when he went to the countryside, he had more than 800 yuan. It cost about 200 yuan to build a house, plus furniture and so on. Now he still has more than 600 yuan in hand.
Now that the house is built, there is not much money to spend. Six hundred yuan is enough for him to use for a long time.
When your life stabilizes and you become self-sufficient in the future, you will spend less money.
Not to mention, my family has already agreed that they will continue to send him money in the future.
In other words, he is not short of money at all.
If you are not short of money, of course you must improve your quality of life.
"Then let's raise two of them! If that doesn't work, we'll kill them for meat."
The two Chen sisters discussed it and decided to raise two chickens.
But they have never raised them before, and they are a little worried that they will not be able to raise them well.
These two sisters are also wealthy owners and have turned to raising chickens as a hobby.
If it is well-raised, then raise it. If it is not well-raised, eat meat. Pay attention to adaptability.
