Chapter 121 Animal Pulled Mill
When he arrived at the mill, in order not to waste time, Zhou Ziwen chose the largest stone mill in the village.
It is the kind that is pulled by animals in the village. Now almost no one uses it.
Zhou Ziwen was very strong and wanted to finish it quickly, so he simply used the largest stone mill.
Anyway, his strength has been demonstrated in the village, and using a stone mill pulled by an animal is not out of the ordinary.
"Brother Ziwen, do you want to use this stone mill?" Chen Qiaoyi looked at Zhou Ziwen in surprise.
"Yes, this is faster." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"Brother Zhou, isn't this pulled by an animal? Aren't you tired?" Zhou Chaoyang looked at the small mill in front of him, and then looked at the large mill in front of Zhou Ziwen.
This comparison, just like adults and children, the difference is very obvious.
Zhou Chaoyang felt that the small mill in front of him suddenly lost its fragrance.
"What's wrong with the animals? Is this proof of a man's strength? If you can use this stone mill, you can find any wife in the village." Zhou Ziwen said angrily.
This boy, there’s no point in opening any pot!
Can he compare with animals? Bah, can animals compare with him?
"Brother Zhou, I was wrong, please stop talking." Zhou Chaoyang clasped his hands together and begged for mercy again and again.
His physical weakness seemed to be an obstacle that he could not overcome.
But in fact, his body is not bad, but he seems a little weak due to lack of exercise.
"Brother Ziwen, are you so awesome that you can find a wife from any villager?" Chen Qiaoyi smiled with a smile on her face, but her frown made her look a little fierce and cute. .
"How great am I? No matter how great I am, wouldn't it fall into your hands? You are still great." Zhou Ziwen reacted quickly, knowing that his unmarried daughter-in-law was jealous, so he started to show weakness on the spot, Be prepared to use softness to overcome strength.
Men, there is nothing wrong with showing weakness sometimes in front of women.
“Brother Ziwen, you are laughing at me.”
Zhou Ziwen's move was indeed good and made Chen Qiaoyi laugh immediately.
As for the little jealousy she had just had, she had long forgotten about it.
"Why am I laughing at you? Ask them." Zhou Ziwen began to change the subject.
"No, you two should pay attention to the influence. There are two singles here!" Shen Zhaodi couldn't stand the two people's irritability.
"Then you don't have to be single?" In front of her best friends, Chen Qiaoyi still spoke very boldly.
"Tch, I won't do it." Shen Zhaodi dismissed it.
Although she didn't say it clearly, her meaning was shown.
Zhou Chaoyang's eyes dimmed at the side, but he quickly returned to normal.
He actually has a good impression of Shen Zhaodi.
However, considering the situation at home and the distance, it is basically impossible to be together.
They are not as courageous as Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi.
One is not afraid of difficulties, the other is willing to risk everything for love.
In fact, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi also discussed this issue in private.
Neither of them is afraid of trouble, and they have already gone to the countryside. They don’t know how many years they will need to stay in the country, nor when they can go back.
Although Zhou Ziwen knew it, he couldn't say it, but he also revealed his optimistic attitude to the Chen sisters.
For example, he guessed that they could go back in five years at most.
It’s just speculation anyway, and it’s not illegal.
But these five years alone have made the two sisters very disappointed.
They thought they could go back in a year or two at most!
However, as time went by, the two sisters also recognized it. Knowing that they could not go back in a short time, they simply made plans to stay in the country for a long time.
Chen Qiaoyi is also very determined. She is determined to follow Zhou Ziwen.
Whether she is in the countryside or returns to the city in the future, she will go wherever Zhou Ziwen goes.
This is what Zhou Ziwen likes most about her.
Don't say she has no opinion, she just has a little love brain.
In this era, it is very popular to say that a married daughter throws away the water. When she gets married, she obeys her husband and the man in the family makes the decision. Zhou Ziwen felt that since we have come to this era, we should do as the locals do.
In a previous life, such a good wife would not be so easy to find.
“Let’s go, take your time here!”
Zhou Ziwen moved very quickly, grinding two hundred kilograms of grain in a short time.
Of course, this is also the reason why Dasho is so powerful.
With Chen Qiaoyi at his side, Zhou Ziwen pushed quickly and steadily.
"Brother Zhou, walk slowly."
Zhou Chaoyang greeted Shen Zhaodi and then continued to do his work.
Compared with cornmeal, straw is obviously more difficult to grind.
After all, this thing is relatively flexible and needs to be ground many times.
Carrying the ground cornmeal home, Zhou Ziwen went directly to the Chen sisters' house.
All his food is stored here.
After all, he doesn’t cook at home, so moving around is troublesome.
After putting the grain in the kitchen, Zhou Ziwen picked up some firewood in the woodshed.
He wants to bake the dug cellar to dry out the moisture inside first.
"Ziwen, hurry up and get a ladder. With such a big hole, we can't get down except you."
Seeing Zhou Ziwen holding firewood and preparing to go down to the cellar, Chen Shiying said to the side.
"Well, I'm going to go there later." Zhou Ziwen also felt that this was a bit inconvenient.
Of course, it was very convenient for him. He jumped up from a distance of more than two meters.
But the Chen sisters can’t do that! If you go down, you probably won't be able to come back up.
After lighting a fire in the cellar, Zhou Ziwen jumped up and went out to find Uncle Liang.
Making the door and wooden ladder for the cellar was what he had originally planned to do. If he hadn't been delayed in getting food in the morning, he would have done it long ago.
When he arrived at Uncle Liang’s house, Uncle Liang happened to be at home.
I guess I received some business and was still busy at home.
"Zhou Zhiqing, why are you here? Are there not enough sawdust?"
After knocking on the door, Uncle Liang enthusiastically invited him into the house.
"There are enough sawdust. I am here this time to ask you to help me build something." Zhou Ziwen said his purpose.
"Okay, what are you going to fight for?" When he heard that the business was coming, Uncle Liang became even more enthusiastic.
“It’s not a big thing, just a cellar door and a thicker wooden ladder.” Zhou Ziwen said.
“Did you dig a cellar?” Uncle Liang looked at Zhou Ziwen in surprise.
As far as he knew, Zhou Ziwen was the first educated youth to dig a cellar.
"Well, we just dug it yesterday." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"Okay, let me go to your house to have a look and measure the size first." Uncle Liang said and was about to go out.
The two returned to Zhou Ziwen's house together. Uncle Liang looked at it and then measured the size with a tape measure.
"Zhou Zhiqing, you can dig this cellar well. It won't get wet in the rain and it's easy to retrieve things. It's much better than the one at my house."
After taking the measurements, Uncle Liang praised it.
"Haha, I just thought about it and dug it out randomly. I don't know if it's good or not." Zhou Ziwen said modestly.
“You didn’t dig this randomly.” Uncle Liang disagreed.
This place chosen by Zhou Zi was very suitable in his opinion.
