Chapter 33 Ordering Chickens
While it was still dark, Zhou Ziwen went to the river to fetch water and watered the vegetable seedlings in the field.
By the time I finished all this work, it was already dark.
While there was still light outside, Zhou Ziwen went to the river to take a bath in the dark.
When he returned home, there was no light in most houses in the village, only the stars in the sky were shining brightly.
On this day, Zhou Ziwen had a very fulfilling life, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
This feeling of building his own home step by step and making his life better makes him clearly feel that he has integrated into this era and cherishes his current life more.
That night, Zhou Ziwen slept very soundly, and when he woke up the next day, he was even more energetic, as if he had endless strength.
After getting up, Zhou Ziwen immediately went to the yard to check the vegetable seedlings planted yesterday.
After a night of gestation, the vegetable seedlings in the field are covered with fresh dew, and the leaves are green, as if they have not been affected by the transplant.
However, Zhou Ziwen still took the trouble to water them again.
The temperature in this season is relatively high, and the ground is relatively short of water. If you don’t pay attention, your planting will not survive.
Water a little more, although it is a little troublesome, but it can make the vegetable seedlings grow better.
"Well, we are going to raise chickens soon. We have to find a way to fence this land, otherwise these vegetables will be eaten by the chickens."
After watering, Zhou Ziwen Staring at the lush vegetable seedlings, my mind began to drift away.
Before he even started raising chickens, he thought of follow-up questions.
After a few punches in the yard, and seeing that it was almost time, Zhou Ziwen consciously came to the home of the Chen sisters.
After one night, Chen Qiaoyi's mood returned to normal. After seeing Zhou Ziwen, Brother Ziwen shouted very affectionately.
As for what happened yesterday, she has probably forgotten it.
I have to say that this girl is really tolerant, but it is precisely because of this character that she is so happy every day.
"Ziwen, we are running out of firewood at home. If you have time today, why don't you go to the village to help replace some?" Chen Shiying said during breakfast.
The three of them had dinner together. Although they didn't discuss much, they went their own way.
For example, the two sisters Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi are responsible for cooking.
As for Zhou Ziwen, he is responsible for doing some heavy physical work, such as carrying water and chopping firewood.
"There is no need to change it. After work today, I will go to the forest in the back mountain to find some firewood and come back. It is not an option for us to always ask others to change it." Zhou Ziwen said.
Although he didn't need a little money for firewood, he could save as much as he could, and he had not been to the back mountain for so long since he had been in the countryside!
He has inquired about the firewood. Everyone usually goes to the back mountain to collect it. There are a lot of leaves and dead branches in the mountains. As long as you are not lazy, there is no shortage of firewood.
If you don’t mind the trouble, you can also find dead trees, chop them back and use them as firewood.
"Brother Ziwen, I'll go with you." When Chen Qiaoyi heard that Zhou Ziwen was going up the mountain, she immediately raised her hand to join.
How could she be left out of such a fun thing?
"I heard that the back mountain is quite dangerous..." Chen Shiying was a little worried.
"It's okay. I didn't go deep into the woods, so I just walked around the outside. Many people in the village went to the forest to collect firewood, and they didn't say there was any danger." Zhou Ziwen consoled him.
Although there are many ferocious beasts in the forest in this era, they are all deep in the forest. There is no danger in the outer areas.
Zhou Ziwen has already found out about these things.
"Okay, then you should pay attention to your safety." Chen Shiying felt relieved when Zhou Ziwen said this, but she still told him to be careful.
"Thank you, sister." Chen Qiaoyi cheered and thanked her sister happily.
"Be honest with me. When the time comes, you must listen to Ziwen and don't be naughty." Chen Shiying said with a straight face.
"Well, I will definitely listen to Brother Ziwen." Chen Qiaoyi nodded obediently.
Brother Ziwen is her partner, and will be her husband in the future. She will definitely be obedient! The three of them chatted and ate together, looking like a harmonious and beautiful family.
Although the days are ordinary, there is no excitement, only the shortcomings of the parents.
But this way it is more lifelike.
After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters went to work talking and laughing together.
As soon as he arrived at the production team, an old man came to Zhou Ziwen.
“Are you Zhou Zhiqing?”
"Yes, what do you always call this uncle?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
This old man looks to be in his sixties. At such an old age, he no longer works in the production team.
In this era, being over sixty is considered a long life, and you will be respected wherever you go.
"My surname is Wang, you can just call me Uncle Wang. Yesterday the Li family's son told me that you are looking for chickens, right?" Uncle Wang grinned, showing his sparse teeth.
"Oh, yes, you are Uncle Wang. I also said that I would pay a visit to your house today!" After hearing Jizi, Zhou Ziwen instantly understood who he was.
This Uncle Wang is the one Li Dazui told him yesterday!
I just didn’t expect that before he went there, he would come to his door in person.
"Haha, why don't we pay a visit? It just so happens that the old man is staying at home and has nothing to do, so he comes out to walk around." Uncle Wang said with a smile.
"Uncle Wang, how many chickens do you have?" Zhou Ziwen also knew what Uncle Wang meant, so he simply asked.
"Yes, my old hen is laying eggs these days. How many do you want, I will keep them for you."
Hearing Zhou Ziwen's question, Uncle Wang was even more happy.
Isn’t this why he came to Zhou Ziwen?
"Uncle, just keep four for me. Chen Zhiqing and I will have two each." Zhou Ziwen said, and also named the chickens that he did not raise alone. After all, a family can only raise two at most. Two, but no more.
"Okay, it's settled. I'll look for eggs when I get back. It will take about twenty days. I will deliver them to you then." Uncle Wang nodded.
Originally, he thought that Zhou Ziwen was the only one to support him, but he didn't expect that there would be one more person in the family, which would make him more money.
He had heard that Zhou Ziwen built a house by himself and was rich!
After discussing the price with Uncle Wang, Zhou Ziwen was also very happy.
Once we have chickens, we will be able to eat eggs every day in a few months.
Other people raise chickens to make money by selling eggs, but he raises eggs to supplement nutrition.
In this era, he never thought about making money.
If you really want to make money, you have to wait a few years. By then, you can make money no matter what you do.
After a while, the production team almost arrived, and several giants spoke separately to boost everyone's morale.
Although they are all cliche words, they make everyone very motivated.
Today the Chen sisters were assigned a new job, picking sweet potato leaves.
This is a good thing. The tenderest leaves are picked from the sweet potato leaves, and they will be distributed to everyone when they are finished.
As for the amount of points, it depends on the work points. Those with higher work points will get more points, and those with less work points will get less points.
In the production team, work points always speak for themselves.
However, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters have just joined the production team, and their work points are not many. It is estimated that they will not get much.
No matter how much you can share, it is a happy thing. If nothing else, at least you can get one more dish.
