"I have nothing to do, why did you come to see me!" Wu Dagang said stiffly.
Had it not been for the bamboo stick, his words would have been more convincing.
"Uncle Wu, it took a hundred days to break your muscles and bones! Although every time your bones are broken, they are still cracked. You still need to cultivate yourself." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
“I don’t feel anything that is cracked or not.” Wu Dagang patted his injured leg, still speaking harshly.
"You damn old man, you're so tough-talking, if you can, don't cry out that it hurts at night!" Aunt Chen exposed his old background from the side.
"Uh..." As soon as these words came out, Wu Dagang felt a little embarrassed.
But he couldn't argue with his wife, so he could only pretend not to hear.
“Hee hee!” The little sister of the Chen family lowered her head and snickered beside her.
Chen Shiying also had a smile on her lips.
"Uncle Wu, will the village distribute grain tomorrow?" Seeing Wu Dagang's embarrassment, Zhou Ziwen helped him change the subject.
"Yes, food distribution is a big deal. The village will definitely be very lively tomorrow." When he mentioned this, Wu Dagang became interested. Of course, it is not ruled out that he wants to change the topic.
"You have just arrived in the village not long ago, and you have not received many work points. You have to think carefully about how to change it."
"Huh?" Zhou Ziwen looked at Wu Dagang, waiting for the next step.
He has never experienced grain sharing and doesn’t know the secret behind it.
“In our village, in addition to the grain handed over, some will be left as reserve grain in the remaining villages, and some seeds will also be left.”
"Except for this part, the rest is distributed to everyone."
As for how much the production team will keep, Wu Dagang did not elaborate. It is a bit complicated to say.
“The remaining grains will be distributed according to the more work points, the more grains will be distributed.”
“But these grains include staple grains. There are also non-staple grains. When exchanging these grains, the work points required are different. I think you don’t have many work points. It’s best to exchange for more coarse grains.”
Wu Dagang suggested.
The so-called staple foods are grains such as rice, wheat, corn, and sorghum.
Non-staple grains include soybeans, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
"Uncle Wu, I remember you can spend money to buy grains, right?" Zhou Ziwen was tired of eating coarse grains and wanted to change his taste and prepare to buy more refined grains.
“You can buy it with money, but usually it’s you educated youth who buy food.” Wu Dagang nodded.
The villagers in the village do not need to buy food. The food distributed every year is enough for them to eat. If they save a little, there will be some leftover.
"What's the price?" Zhou Ziwen's eyes lit up.
“The price will be much cheaper than outside, and there are no tickets required.” Wu Dagang said with a smile.
"Great, then I'll buy more." Zhou Ziwen clenched his fists and decided to buy a few hundred kilograms first.
"Don't think too much. You can't just buy as much food as you want." Wu Dagang struck.
“How much can I buy? Can I buy five hundred catties?” Zhou Ziwen calculated that if he could buy five hundred catties of grain, it would be enough for him to eat for a year.
Coupled with the work points earned in the past few months, the food distributed was enough for him and the Chen sisters.
“You want to buy so much?” Wu Dagang was shocked when he heard this.
“There’s nothing I can do. I eat too much, and I don’t have enough food if I buy too little.” Zhou Ziwen was a little helpless.
With his appetite, he would need a pound of grain to eat three meals a day.
There are three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, no matter what, it still weighs three to five hundred pounds!
"That's true." Thinking of Zhou Ziwen's appetite, Wu Dagang nodded in understanding.
“Can’t you buy so much?” Seeing Wu Dagang’s embarrassed look, Zhou Ziwen asked. "It's indeed a bit much, but it's not impossible." Wu Dagang nodded.
"What do you say?" Zhou Ziwen's eyes lit up. As long as he had a way, he was afraid that the village would not sell it to him!
“This is not easy, just ask others to buy it for you.” Wu Dagang said meaningfully.
In principle, anyone who works in the village has the opportunity to buy food, but most people in the village don't know how to buy it. The food given to them is enough.
"Oh." Zhou Ziwen nodded clearly.
That way he understood. Isn’t it just asking someone to buy it for me? He is familiar with this.
"It seems that your kid has a lot of money, and you dare to buy so much food." Wu Dagang sighed.
"What can I do? You can't let me go hungry!" Zhou Ziwen said helplessly.
"Okay, don't bother yourself. Come to me when the time comes to buy food. I'll help you get it to avoid trouble." Wu Dagang said.
"Okay." Zhou Ziwen was even happier when he heard that he didn't need to find anyone.
"But I have to remind you that the grain you bought can only be eaten by yourself. If you sell it, even I can't protect you." Wu Dagang warned.
“Of course, I don’t have enough to eat myself, so how can I sell it?” Zhou Ziwen nodded seriously.
After settling the food matter, Zhou Ziwen stayed at Uncle Wu's house for a while. Seeing that the time was almost up, he and the Chen sisters politely said goodbye and left.
Of course, there will naturally be some tugging in the middle.
Aunt Chen, in particular, insisted on letting them stay for dinner. In the end, it was Zhou Ziwen who persuaded her for a long time before letting them go.
However, Zhou Ziwen still agreed to eat at their place next time he comes.
Back home, the Chen sisters went to cook, while Zhou Ziwen was playing with the puppy in the yard.
With the improvement of his dog training skills, he also has more dog training skills. I don’t know if it’s because black dogs are smarter. When training Step on the Cloud, Zhou Ziwen didn’t find it difficult at all. .
"Brother Ziwen, it's time to eat!"
Not long after, Zhou Ziwen heard the voice of the little sister of the Chen family.
“Here we come!” Zhou Ziwen stood up.
Today’s dinner was quite sumptuous. In order to satisfy Zhou Ziwen’s appetite, there was not only fried fish but also two scrambled eggs.
“It’s delicious.” Zhou Ziwen took a bite and gave a thumbs up to the eldest sister of the Chen family.
"I think it's meaty!" Chen Shiying rolled her eyes softly at him.
"Well, the meat is also delicious." Zhou Ziwen nodded, "When the food is distributed tomorrow, we will go to the mountains to see if we can catch prey."
Zhou Ziwen is a person who loves to eat meat and enjoys it. He can insist on it when he has no other choice, but if conditions permit, he still hopes to eat meat every day.
"Hehe." Chen Qiaoyi had already figured out his hobbies and was not surprised by his words.
After finishing the meal, Zhou Ziwen patted his butt and left, leaving only the Chen sisters to clean up the dishes.
The three of them have their own division of labor. Although there is no clear arrangement, they have formed a tacit understanding.
If you want to cook and wash dishes, Chen Shiying is usually responsible for these.
Chen Qiaoyi is basically doing the cleaning and tidying up the house.
It is worth mentioning that Zhou Ziwen has never washed his clothes since not long after he and Chen Qiaoyi dated.
With Chen Qiaoyi here, Zhou Ziwen's house is clean and tidy every day. (End of chapter)
