"Ziwen, why are you here?"
When Zhou Ziwen came to the production team office in Zhaojiacun, Captain Zhao happened to be staying here.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen, Captain Zhao stood up in a hurry.
"Uncle Zhao, let me see you."
Zhou Ziwen didn't notice anything, he found a stool and sat down.
"Hey, what's so good about an old man like me?"
Captain Zhao waved his hand carelessly.
But it can be seen from the corners of his mouth that he is still very happy that Zhou Ziwen can come to see him.
"Uncle Zhao, let me check it for you!"
Looking at Captain Zhao's hanging arm, Zhou Ziwen said.
"Okay, take a look!"
Captain Zhao nodded and pretended to let the inspection go.
Next, Zhou Ziwen gave him a detailed examination.
In fact, Captain Zhao's recovery was very good. After all, the operation was performed at the county hospital, and Tan Youwei helped take care of it.
Not long after he was discharged from the hospital, his wounds were almost healed.
By now, I don’t even need a sling unless it’s just in case.
"Ziwen, when can I get this strip of cloth? I feel uncomfortable hanging there."
Captain Zhao gestured with his injured arm.
"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, let's give it a few days!"
Zhou Ziwen spoke to comfort.
"Oh, why do you say that? I'm obviously fine."
Hearing this, Captain Zhao was a little dissatisfied.
“Just in case!”
Zhou Ziwen comforted with a smile.
"Ziwen, you just happened to be here. Thanks to you this time, I haven't had time to thank you properly. So, don't leave later and go to my house for dinner first."
He always remembered the fact that Zhou Ziwen saved him.
It was just that the injury on his arm was not completely healed yet, so he thought that he would thank him properly after it was healed.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ziwen came over by himself.
"Uncle Zhao, no need, I have to go back to the village later. I just came here today to see how you are recovering."
Zhou Ziwen shook his head.
It was still early and he wanted to go to the mushroom cultivation base.
After he completes the check-in task, there is no need to go there in the afternoon.
After staying with Captain Zhao for a while and telling him some things to pay attention to, Zhou Ziwen said goodbye and left.
After going around in such a circle, it is almost ten o'clock.
It doesn’t take long for him to arrive at the mushroom cultivation base.
After hanging around here for more than an hour, it's time to get off work.
When he returned home, the two sisters were already back.
But Wang Xiaoli and Zhang Xiaoli came back with them.
"Hey, are there guests at home?"
Zhou Ziwen couldn't figure out their purpose, so he had to say hello first.
It was dinner time now, and if something hadn't happened, they probably wouldn't have come to the door at this time.
"Zhou Zhiqing."
"Comrade Ziwen."
Zhang Xiaoli and Wang Xiaoli greeted Zhou Ziwen a little embarrassedly.
"Huh? Is there something wrong with you?"
Seeing their coy expressions, Zhou Ziwen raised his eyebrows.
Their expressions look like they are having a hard time talking.
Under normal circumstances, if someone shows this kind of expression, they are probably borrowing money.
"This...Ziwen, we came to you because we really had no other choice..."
Wang Xiaoli has a little more contact with Zhou Ziwen, so she should speak first at this time. .
"Well, don't worry, speak slowly."
Zhou Ziwen nodded.
No matter what the two of them are looking for, at least he needs to know what it is. If you can help, it's okay to help if it's not troublesome.
But if it makes things difficult for him, then I'm sorry.
Regardless of whether they are men or women, he treats them equally.
"We are almost out of food. There is really nothing we can do now. Ziwen, can you lend us some food?"
Zhang Xiaoli looked at Zhou Ziwen with some embarrassment.
Obviously, this was also the first time she asked someone to borrow food.
It is always a bit difficult to ask someone for help.
"It shouldn't be. I see you work in the production team every day. Why are you running out of food so quickly?"
Zhou Ziwen asked in confusion.
"Didn't we raise a pig? That pig was so edible. We didn't expect it to eat so much..."
Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoli and Zhang Xiaoli both It was a bitter look on his face.
Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen nodded clearly.
He remembered that there were two pigs in the Educated Youth Institute.
One of them was raised by the three of them.
Zhang Wenli, Wang Xiaoli, Zhang Xiaoli.
However, Zhang Wenli is the captain of a female educated youth and her family is in good condition, so there is no shortage of food.
It’s just hard work for Zhang Xiaoli and Wang Xiaoli.
Especially Wang Xiaoli, who had just aborted her child not long ago and was already in poor health. As a result, she had to work during the day and cut pig grass at night. She lost a lot of weight because of this pig.
"Then what will you do in the future?"
Zhou Ziwen asked.
In their situation, just borrowing food is probably not feasible.
There are still several months until the autumn harvest.
He couldn't lend them food for several months, could he?
Don’t say he doesn’t have that much, even if he does, he can’t borrow it.
“We have already written back, and our family will send money next month. Anyway, let’s raise this pig to a big size first, hold on, and sell this pig after the Chinese New Year. It’ll be fine.”
Wang Xiaoli said their plan.
“It’s okay to borrow food, but my brothers will settle the score, so don’t blame me for being the first to say it.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded first, and then spoke.
Whether it is borrowing money or food, as long as it is borrowing something, it is easy to borrow but difficult to pay back.
Brothers must settle accounts clearly, make peace first, and not mess up later.
“Ziwen, tell me what you have to say!”
Zhang Xiaoli asked with a look of anticipation.
At this moment, they were basically in despair.
The food at home is running out.
But the pig still needs to be raised.
After raising them for so long, they will not give up.
“As the saying goes, it’s easy to borrow and pay back, and it’s not difficult to borrow again. No matter what you borrow, you must have a charter. Let’s do this. You write an IOU so that everyone will not forget it when the time comes.”
< br>
Zhou Ziwen said.
He thought it would be better to make some things clear first.
"Yes, yes, we will write an IOU now."
Hearing this, Wang Xiaoli and Zhang Xiaoli agreed without thinking.
They asked Zhou Ziwen to borrow food, but they never thought of defaulting on the loan.
Of course, they didn't dare.
"There is one more thing I want to make clear. I hope you won't tell anyone about borrowing your food. Anyway, I don't want anyone to know that you borrowed your food from me."
Seeing that they agreed, Zhou Ziwen made his last request.
He didn’t want others to know about this.
If everyone comes to him to borrow food in the future, will he borrow it or not?
"Ziwen, don't worry, we will never tell others about borrowing food."
"Yes, we are very grateful that you can lend us food, and we will never tell anyone. ”
Zhang Xiaoli and Wang Xiaoli hurriedly promised.
“That’s good.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded. (End of chapter)
