Chapter 32 Furniture and Vegetable Seedlings
Before lunch was finished, Uncle Liang delivered furniture to his door.
Now, not caring about eating, Zhou Ziwen hurriedly got up and went to help.
The Chen sisters also followed to move some small things.
They made a lot of stuff and loaded two entire carts.
The ones who delivered the goods were Uncle Liang Wu and his youngest son, the third eldest son. Everyone usually called him Liang Laosan, but if it was more polite, he would call him Brother Liang.
"Uncle Liang, Third Brother, thank you for your hard work." Zhou Ziwen handed over the cigarette enthusiastically.
"What a hard job, it's not far away." Uncle Liang waved his hand and said with a smile.
This is true, we are all from the same village, and Uncle Liang Wu’s house is only a few minutes away from here.
There is strength in numbers. With the help of Liang Wushu and his son, they quickly moved the furniture back home.
At this time, Zhou Ziwen felt that his family finally felt like a home.
After a long day of work, it was time to start work. Although I hadn’t finished lunch yet, I was still eighty percent full. I just had to wait until I got back in the evening to eat the rest.
The afternoon work is not so busy, this has become the routine of the production team.
After all, the afternoon is the hottest time, so the captains of the production team turned a blind eye.
If the control were stricter, those grandparents would really dare to block people and scold them. They would have bad tempers, and they might even use loud mouths.
There are a lot of people in Dabazi Village, and most of them are the older generation who have taken root here. There are also many people who are married to each other. Most of the people in the village are related to each other.
Seven aunts and eight aunts are very common in the village.
If these cadres are offended by these seniors, their beatings will be in vain.
While taking advantage of the intermission, Zhou Ziwen began to inquire about which family in the village had plenty of vegetable seedlings and chickens.
"Zhou Zhiqing, if you want chickens, you can ask Uncle Wang. Their old hens are nesting in the nest." Li Dazui, who was relatively well-informed, said.
"Where does Uncle Wang live? I'll go find him after work and ask." Zhou Ziwen asked hurriedly.
"It's right at the west end of the village. Just go find someone and ask." Li Dazui said.
"Okay."
After asking about the chickens, only the vegetable seedlings were left. However, the people in their team were all old men, and it was not clear who had the most vegetable seedlings.
Helping, Zhou Ziwen could only hope that there would be good news from the Chen sisters.
If there are none, then you can only go to someone else's house to exchange seeds.
The sun was the most poisonous in the afternoon, and Zhou Ziwen couldn't muster any energy. He worked hard with everyone, and finally got off work.
"Brother Ziwen, Aunt Zhao said that she has baby cabbage and Chinese cabbage seedlings at home. If you have plenty, you can give us some in exchange."
As soon as he got off work, Zhou Ziwen came from Chen Qiaoyi got good news from her mouth.
"Great, then I will reclaim the yard today." Zhou Ziwen said happily.
Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
After returning home, Zhou Ziwen stopped going to Uncle Wang’s house and directly picked up the hoe to cultivate land in the yard.
He divided the yard into three areas. The middle one was the passageway leading to the house, which could not be moved. The left one was where he usually moved and boxed, which could not be moved either.
Only the area on the right can be cultivated.
But this area is enough. According to the area, it is more than half an inch, so it is not a problem to satisfy daily life.
The Chen sisters were not idle either. Chen Shiying was busy cooking, while Chen Qiaoyi went to Aunt Zhao's house to exchange vegetable seedlings.
It is said that it is a replacement, but in fact it is just a purchase, but it only costs a little money for a few vegetable seedlings.
Before dinner was ready, Chen Qiaoyi came back happily carrying the vegetable seedlings on her back.
"Brother Ziwen, I brought back the vegetable seedlings." Chen Qiaoyi asked Zhou Ziwen for credit with her pretty face raised. "Haha, my Yiyi is so capable." Looking at the girl's expression, Zhou Ziwen didn't know what to do, so he praised her loudly on the spot.
"Hee hee." After receiving the praise from her partner, Chen Qiaoyi showed a bright smile on her face, but she soon realized it and said nonchalantly: "Who, who belongs to the You family."
" Haha, why aren't you from my family? Aren't you my partner?" Zhou Ziwen asked funnyly.
"It's just a partner, I haven't married you yet!" Chen Qiaoyi retorted with a blushing face.
"Haha, it turns out that Yiyi wants to get married. It's not easy. We can have a banquet tomorrow!" Zhou Ziwen teased.
He really wants to marry this girl, but they are too young to get married yet.
But it's not impossible. The countryside doesn't pay much attention to this. As long as they hold a banquet, they are still considered husband and wife even if they don't have a marriage certificate.
In the countryside, this kind of thing is so common that many families have never seen what a marriage certificate looks like in their entire lives.
"Brother Ziwen, you are a bad person, I will ignore you." Being ridiculed by Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi couldn't bear it. She glared at him fiercely and ran away in a hurry.
At this moment, Zhou Ziwen was a little dumbfounded.
He felt that this girl was too shy. He didn't even touch her. He just spoke a little frivolously, and the girl couldn't bear it.
I originally wanted to go over and coax her, but I thought that the girl was shy at this time, and I probably wouldn't even be able to see her in person at this time.
After thinking about it, Zhou Ziwen decided to talk later, since it was almost time to eat anyway.
When the time comes, I will find a chance to comfort myself.
Next, Zhou Ziwen continued to cultivate the land, but not long after he started working, the food was ready next door.
It is estimated that Chen Qiaoyi has not yet recovered from her shyness. The person who came to call him was Chen Shiying.
Zhou Ziwen put down the hoe, cleaned a little and then came to the two sisters' house.
Now the two sisters were sitting at the new table, waiting for him to eat.
However, the girl Chen Qiaoyi kept her head lowered and her expression could not be seen clearly.
"Today I heard from Li Dazui that you can hatch chicks at Uncle Wang's house. I will go to his house tomorrow to ask."
While eating, Zhou Ziwen told them a good idea information.
"So, we are going to raise chickens?" Chen Qiaoyi raised her head excitedly, forgetting that she was still shy.
"Yes, the chick is very cute, fluffy, and very fun." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
“I don’t believe it.” Chen Qiaoyi said stiffly.
"You will know when you see him." Zhou Ziwen said confidently.
Although he has never raised chickens, he has seen chickens.
He believed that no girl could refuse such a cute little guy.
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen did not delay and was still working hard to reclaim the land.
The Chen sisters planted the vegetable seedlings in their yard.
After they finish their work there, Zhou Ziwen's land will be cultivated.
Then the three of them worked together and finally planted vegetables on both sides of the yard.
According to the current progress, they will be able to eat vegetables grown by themselves in another month.
The growth cycle of Chinese cabbage is very short, only taking thirty days.
The growth cycle of baby cabbage is slightly longer, taking forty or fifty days.
Zhou Ziwen plans to keep the baby cabbage for the winter and eat baby cabbage on a daily basis.
