After dinner, Zhou Ziwen moved the deck chair under the eaves and lay on it to enjoy the cool air.
It just rained today and the air outside is very fresh.
In the sky, the dark clouds dispersed, but it looked a little dark because it was getting dark.
Listening to the chirping of birds in the distance from time to time and the crowing of chickens in the backyard, a sense of pastoral life comes to my face.
Chen Qiaoyi sat on a small bench next to Zhou Ziwen, holding a handful of pine nuts in his hand, chatting with him.
"Brother Ziwen, we haven't been to the mushroom house for two days. Will the mushrooms there go bad?"
Chen Qiaoyi asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's just two days late."
Zhou Ziwen shook his head.
“But we picked some!”
"That's okay. The storage time of mushrooms is still very long. In just a few days, there won't be much change."
Zhou Ziwen explained.
......
"Brother Ziwen, haven't you slept yet?"
At this moment, Tang Yaoyao from next door ran over.
"Yao Yao, why are you here?"
Chen Qiaoyi asked happily.
"I would like to borrow your bathroom."
While speaking, Tang Yaoyao glanced at Zhou Ziwen with some embarrassment.
"Do you want to take a shower? Go ahead and I'll fetch water for you."
Chen Qiaoyi said enthusiastically.
Tang Yaoyao has a cold. She drank medicine today and sweated all over. She feels a little uncomfortable now.
“Thank you, Sister Yiyi.”
Tang Yaoyao smiled and thanked her.
Although Zhou Ziwen built a well in the yard, there is still a distance between the bathroom and the well.
If she wanted to take a bath, she would need at least four or five buckets of water.
With her small body, if no one helps, it will take a long time just to fetch water.
Seeing that Tang Yaoyao looked a little embarrassed, Zhou Ziwen shook his head, got up and went to the bedroom.
Although this talkative girl is good-looking, she is still a bit inferior to the two sisters. Compared with Shen Zhaodi, she has her own merits.
I have an airport at a young age and my family is relatively wealthy.
Seeing that Zhou Ziwen was gone, Tang Yaoyao breathed a long sigh of relief.
She is a young girl, but she is still a little shy when talking about bathing in front of a grown man.
“Hee hee!”
Besides, Chen Qiaoyi started to make fun of her when she saw her like this.
Tang Yaoyao was not to be outdone, and after a while, the two best friends started playing around.
...
No words for a night.
Early the next morning, the weather outside was sunny.
Zhou Ziwen woke up to the sound of the radio.
It didn’t rain outside today. Everyone has had two days of rest. It’s time to start work today.
After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and his two sisters gathered in the production team.
When the others were almost here, the captain began to speak.
This time, he emphasized the prevention of colds.
There is still medicine to be boiled in the health room.
No matter whether they are sick or not, the villagers have to drink a bowl.
But because everyone still has to go to work, when the medicine in the clinic is ready, special people will deliver it to where everyone goes to work.
As for those who are not working, they have to go to the clinic by themselves.
Anyway, work cannot be delayed.
Especially the mushroom planting base and mushroom house.
It has rained in the past two days, and the construction progress of the mushroom planting base has been delayed. It needs to be made up for later.
There is also a mushroom house. The mushrooms there are also harvesting time. Although a delay of one or two days does not affect the quality of the mushrooms, until the mushrooms are harvested, a new batch cannot be planted. Every day of delay costs money. ah!
After the meeting, Wu Dagang and the team leader found Zhou Ziwen. "Ziwen, is there no problem with harvesting in the mushroom house today?"
The captain asked.
“No problem, we will ship it out after harvesting in the morning.”
Zhou Ziwen opened his mouth to answer.
Although he didn't go to the mushroom room much, he was very aware of the progress there.
After all, everyone at home and around her is from the Mushroom Group, so Chen Shiying will talk to him every day when she goes home.
"That's no problem. After such a two-day delay, we have to send it out quickly. We have contacted each other before."
The captain nodded.
"Ziwen, are you going up the mountain today?"
Wu Dagang asked.
"Well, I've been using a lot of medicinal materials these days. I'm afraid it's not enough. I'll go dig some more from the mountain today."
Zhou Ziwen nodded.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Wu Dagang patted Zhou Ziwen on the shoulder.
“Serving the people is not hard work.”
Zhou Ziwen saluted with a smile.
“You kid knows how to hide.”
Wu Dagang glared at him angrily.
"Since you are so energetic, go to the mushroom planting base and keep an eye on it when you come back."
In the blink of an eye, Wu Dagang arranged a task for him.
“Oh, okay.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded. This was his business, and even if he went to the mushroom cultivation base, it wouldn’t take much time.
“Yesterday, the Educated Youth Office came to notify us that another group of educated youths were coming, and they had to go over to pick them up in the afternoon. You have to work harder here.”
Although Zhou Ziwen didn't ask, Wu Dagang still explained.
“Another educated youth is coming?”
Zhou Ziwen was shocked.
Although he knew that it was normal for educated youth to go to the countryside these days, he did not know that a group of educated youth would go to the countryside every now and then.
“Yes, fortunately we built more when the Educated Youth Home was built this time, otherwise we really wouldn’t be able to live in it.”
Speaking of this, Wu Dagang sighed irritably.
The educated youth who go to the countryside are all city dwellers, coming from all over the country and all kinds of people.
As more and more educated youths go to the countryside, it has become a big trouble in Dabazi Village.
Not to mention that there will be many educated youth groups coming in the future, but just these now, he finds it difficult to manage.
“It seems that Uncle Wu is very foresighted!”
Zhou Ziwen joked.
"Go, be careful, I will arrange for you to be the captain of the Educated Youth Academy."
Wu Dagang threatened fiercely.
"Uh...I'd better forget it."
Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen hurriedly shook his head, "Uncle Wu, don't look for me, I have a lot to do!"< br>
"By the way, I have to go to the mountains to collect herbs. You guys go ahead and I'll leave first."
Looking for a random excuse, Zhou Ziwen left in a hurry.
He was really afraid that if he kept talking, Wu Dagang would make him the captain of the Educated Youth Academy.
He has no interest in that position at all.
There are many things to say, and they don’t have much power yet. Only people like Zhou Qiang and others who want to return to the city will be happy to do so.
On the way back, he also stopped by the health room.
Because I have to work today, there are not many people in the clinic. There are only a few aunties helping to prepare medicine.
The rest are the old, weak, sick and disabled. They are the only ones in the entire production team who are not working.
"Ziwen, you are here, help me quickly, why do I feel a little pain in my head?"
As soon as he arrived at the Educated Youth Home, Zhou Ziwen was stopped by an old grandma. .
"Grandma Shao, don't worry, I'll check it for you."
Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile. (End of this chapter)
