Chapter 55 Homesickness
“Brother Ziwen, I can’t sleep.”
This happened suddenly in the middle of the night, not to mention the two sisters of the Chen family, not even Zhou Ziwen himself. Feeling sleepy.
He is a light sleeper, and since he already had a good night's sleep, he will be full of energy and unable to fall asleep even if he wants to.
"Then don't sleep, just sit and squint for a while."
"Brother Ziwen, when do you think we can return to the city?" Chen Qiaoyi asked in a low voice.
During this period, although with the help of Zhou Ziwen, their life was pretty good, it was much different than when they were in the city.
The key is that this place is unfamiliar to everyone. Every night, the two of them will miss home.
“Haha, I feel homesick!” Speaking of homesickness, Zhou Ziwen actually thinks about it too.
He doesn’t think much but cares about his father, and wants to pamper his mother the most. There are also two sisters who support his younger brothers and sisters, and the pistachio of the family, Zhou Xiaomei.
There are also two older brothers, although they are quite different in age, they take good care of him.
"Yes." Chen Qiaoyi nodded.
Although Chen Shiying remained silent and did not speak, it was obvious that she also missed home.
“It is certain to go back. We must have confidence in the country. I believe that being an educated youth is only temporary. Sooner or later we will have to go back one day.”
Knowing history, Zhou Ziwen has this idea A little bit of confidence.
"But since you're in the country, let's work hard! In fact, I think it's not bad in the country. Although working is a bit tiring, it makes our lives more meaningful."
"We are here Here, I have my own home, and this kind of construction process from scratch, doesn’t it feel more fulfilling?”
Seeing that the two sisters were feeling a little low, Zhou Ziwen also tried his best to cheer them up.
Because he knew that they would not be able to return to the city in a short time.
Next, we have to continue living in the countryside.
By the time they return to the city, he and Yiyi will probably have children.
Under Zhou Ziwen's persuasion, the two sisters also recovered their mood, and Chen Qiaoyi became the carefree, lively and cheerful girl again.
Chen Shiying also regained her composure, her dark eyes making people unknowingly intoxicated.
While the three of them were chatting and joking, a gunshot suddenly rang out.
“You guys stay here and don’t move, I’ll go check on the situation.”
Zhou Ziwen gave instructions and quickly ran towards the place where the gunfire appeared.
He is an expert and bold person. He relies on his Bajiquan, which is close to the fifth level, and wants to watch the excitement. He also wants to see if there is anything he can do to help.
And with the village’s escort team here, you don’t have to worry about your own safety.
Although the guard team in Dabazi Village is not large, with only about ten people, everyone has a gun in their hand.
Not to mention wild boars, I have even beaten tigers and bears. They are very powerful.
Zhou Ziwen came to the scene quickly with an ax in hand.
This place is very lively at the moment, with more than a dozen guards holding guns surrounding two wild boars.
Fire a shot from time to time, scaring the wild boar into running around.
One of the wild boars was shot several times and was already lying on the ground, whining.
When Zhou Ziwen arrived, another wild boar was also in dire straits.
Wang Hongbing, the deputy captain and captain of the guard, raised his gun and aimed, hitting the wild boar's front leg, causing it to stagger.
Seeing the opportunity, the other guards fired a few more shots, and the wild boar fell to the ground instantly.
I guess if Zhou Ziwen had come a little later, the matter would have been resolved. "Wait a minute, the wild boar is about to die. Wait until it dies on its own to prevent them from retaliating before death." Deputy Captain Wang Hongbing said with experience.
“Okay, comrades and fellow villagers, the wild boar has been found. Let’s go back and rest! We have a day off tomorrow and will officially start work the day after tomorrow.”
Captain Zhou Weiguo waved his hand and generously gave everyone a day off.
After all, everyone has been busy working late at night. Even if they go to work tomorrow, they will not be in good spirits. It is better to take a day off to let everyone rest.
The autumn harvest is coming soon, and everyone will be very busy by then, with no time to rest at all.
Having a rest now can be considered as a benefit in advance.
Everyone left laughing and joking, the atmosphere was very warm.
If two wild boars are hunted in the village, they will definitely be distributed to everyone, although the meat they will receive may be very small.
But for some people who haven’t had the smell of meat for months, this is too precious.
After everyone dispersed, Zhou Ziwen also went to join the Chen sisters.
When they heard that the wild boar had been killed, they felt relieved.
After all, wild boars are too dangerous, especially for girls like them. Once encountered, their lives will be lost.
"Brother Ziwen, does the village have to divide the meat? How much can we get?"
Having been in the countryside for so long, Chen Qiaoyi also knows this rule.
"Haha, there are many of us, so we should get a lot, but Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang just came, so they should get less." Zhou Ziwen said.
The rules for dividing meat are like this. If you perform well and earn more work points, you will get more points. If you perform poorly and earn less work points, you will get less points.
For someone like Zhou Ziwen, although he has only been in the country for a short time and his work points are not many, if he performs well, he will get more points.
This is also the reason why Zhou Ziwen does not slack off when working, but also works hard to perform.
Because this is not only related to work points, but also related to welfare.
"Hey, I don't know when it will be posted, I haven't eaten wild boar meat yet!" Chen Qiaoyi looked happy, and she had already begun to fantasize about the taste of wild boar meat.
“The taste of wild boar is better than that of ordinary pork, but the smell of wild boar is stronger. If the cooking skills are not good, the taste will not be delicious.”
Zhou Zi Wen has a level 4 cooking skill and has done some research on wild game. He knows how to make it delicious.
"I'm not very good at this, Ziwen, can you?" Chen Shiying asked.
"Yes, just leave it to me. I know how to do it." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Good guys, the meat hasn’t been distributed yet, and they are already discussing how to eat it.
But this is normal. Let alone them, other people in the village are similar. Although it is still night, they are not sleepy at all, and they all start discussing around the two wild boars.
Zhou Ziwen saw two wild boars just now. He estimated that the two pigs combined weighed 600 kilograms. There were more than a thousand people in the village, half of them old and young, so there were still 600 people in the village.
A 600-pound wild boar will definitely not be that much after weight loss, but no matter how you calculate it, everyone can get at least half a pound.
The five of Zhou Ziwen and the others teamed up with two or three kilograms of meat, which was enough for a delicious meal.
"That's good, I'll learn from you then."
Chen Shiying's hobby is cooking. Last time, she asked Shen Zhaodi to learn how to cook spicy fish. This time, she asked Zhou Ziwen how to cook game. .
“No problem, I will definitely teach you.” Zhou Ziwen nodded readily.
It taught her that she would not be the one to enjoy happiness in the future.
Although he can cook, he doesn’t have this hobby. It’s okay to cook once in a while, but if he does it every day, it will kill him.
