After being busy for a long time, it’s almost noon.
"Chaoyang, don't leave later, stay at home to eat." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
“How embarrassing!” Zhou Chaoyang scratched his head in embarrassment.
If it was in the countryside, he would be rude, but this was at Zhou Ziwen's house.
He is not so comfortable when his elders are at home.
"Why are you being polite to me? It's settled." Zhou Ziwen patted him on the shoulder.
Zhou's mother also enthusiastically persuaded her to stay, "Chaoyang, Ziwen is right, don't be so polite, just treat it like your own family."
Looking at Zhou's mother's warm smile, Zhou Chaoyang Thank you hastily, "Thank you, auntie, then I'm not polite."
"That's right! You're welcome." Mother Zhou smiled.
Zhou's mother and the two sisters went to the kitchen to cook, while Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang sat in the living room chatting.
"Brother Zhou, you have gone home. Are you going to Sister Yiyi's house soon?"
Zhou Chaoyang asked.
"Well, I'm going to go in a few days. I'll go visit my relatives first and let the two sisters meet their families."
Zhou Ziwen nodded.
“I remember Sister Yiyi and her family live in Hangzhou, right?”
"Well, they are from Hangzhou, which is quite far away from us."
"Brother Zhou, when are you leaving? I can get a sleep ticket." Zhou Chaoyang said positively.
Sijiu City is his home court. With his connections, it is very simple to get a ticket.
"Okay, it would be great if I could get a sleeping ticket, Chaoyang, then I'll have to worry about you."
After hearing this, Zhou Ziwen remembered that Zhou Chaoyang was still Brother from the big courtyard is here.
Zhou Chaoyang said boldly: "No trouble, I'm glad I can help you."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.
“No problem.” Zhou Chaoyang waved his hand happily.
It looked like it was an honor to be able to help Zhou Ziwen.
Soon, lunch was ready.
At the dinner table, Zhou's mother warmly entertained Zhou Chaoyang and kept bringing him dishes: "Chaoyang, eat more and try auntie's cooking."
"Thank you, auntie." Zhou Chaoyang thanked him hurriedly.
Speaking of which, Zhou’s mother’s craftsmanship is quite good, and the dishes she cooks are also very authentic and full of hometown flavor.
Under Zhou Ma’s warm hospitality, Zhou Chaoyang was full quickly.
After lunch, they rested for a while. When the rest was almost over, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang took the two sisters out.
Starting from home, they soon came to the post office.
When they arrived at the post office, they asked the staff and learned that the package had arrived and was being sorted.
Zhou Ziwen and others waited patiently, and not long after, they got their packages.
"Chaoyang, take this ginseng and take it home to Uncle Zhou to replenish his body."
Zhou Ziwen took out a ginseng root that was about eight years old from the package. Wild ginseng.
The wild ginseng of this year is not very precious, but it is not cheap either.
Just right for giving as a gift.
If it is too precious, Zhou Chaoyang probably won’t want it.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou. I won't be polite to you."
Seeing the wild ginseng handed over by Zhou Ziwen, Zhou Chaoyang reached out and took it.
Because he often stays with Zhou Ziwen, he also has a certain understanding of the price of wild ginseng.
I also know that the wild ginseng sent by Zhou Ziwen is not very expensive.
But for them, this wild ginseng is just right.
If it were more expensive, he would not dare to accept it.
“Haha, why are you so polite.”
Zhou Ziwen smiled and punched him. This time when he went home to visit relatives, Zhou Ziwen sent back a lot of good things. A wild ginseng in his package could only be regarded as ordinary.
There are many medicinal materials of this vintage in his package.
In addition to medicinal materials, there is also a lot of meat, including cured meat, bacon, and bacon.
He carefully selected these meats. After all, it is not easy to send them once.
Even though you are in Forty-Nine City, it is not easy to eat meat in the city. If you really think about it, it is not as good as in the countryside.
In the countryside, Zhou Ziwen never lacked meat.
After getting the package, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang said goodbye.
He had a lot of things, and it was inconvenient to take them shopping with him, so he just went home with his two sisters.
On the way home, Zhou Ziwen was in a happy mood.
The local products and meat in his package are enough to feed the family for a while.
I brought back a lot of souvenirs this time, including some dried fruits. I can share some with my neighbors after I return.
He promised to bring delicious food to some children in the courtyard.
After returning home, Zhou Ziwen immediately began to pack the packages.
He picked out some nourishing medicinal materials first, and later he could give them as gifts or eat them himself. They were all good things.
He plans to share some of the remaining meat and local products and give them to his neighbors to try.
It’s rare to come back, and the neighborhood relationship needs to be maintained.
"Ziwen, what are you doing?" Zhou's mother asked curiously when she saw her son busy with other things.
"Mom, these are the local specialties I brought back from the countryside. I want to share some with my neighbors to try." Zhou Ziwen answered while sorting them out.
“You are so sensible, kid.” A happy smile appeared on Zhou’s mother’s face.
Zhou Ziwen divided bacon, cured meat and smoked meat into several portions. Although the types were similar, the portion sizes were somewhat different.
If you have a good relationship with him, he will give you more. If you have a normal relationship with him, he will give you less.
For people like Uncle Li, you need to give more gifts and specially select some good things.
Had Uncle Li not taught him Baji Quan, he would not have been so relaxed when he first went to the countryside.
"Mom, can you help me divide it and see how I can give it away?"
After a rough analysis, Zhou Ziwen asked Zhou Ma for help.
Mother Zhou is the one who knows best about neighbor relations.
Hearing this, Zhou Ma came over and looked at the divided things, and she had an idea.
Under Zhou’s mother’s arrangement, Zhou Ziwen put the prepared local products and meats into different categories. Which family would give away more, Zhou’s mother said clearly.
By the time after get off work, almost everyone in the courtyard had returned. Zhou Ziwen and his two sisters carried packed local products and meat in their hands and visited their neighbors house by house.
First, they came to Uncle Li’s house. Uncle Li opened the door and saw Zhou Ziwen and the others. A kind smile immediately appeared on his face: "Ziwen, you are here, come in and sit down."
"Uncle Li, these are some things I brought back from the countryside. There are local specialties and some bacon for you to try." Zhou Ziwen handed over the package in his hand.
Uncle Li took the package and saw the bacon and medicinal materials inside. A flash of emotion flashed in his eyes: "Ziwen, you are such a thoughtful kid."
"You taught me So much, this is what I should do." Zhou Ziwen replied respectfully.
After bidding farewell to Uncle Li, they went to Aunt Zhang's house again.
Aunt Zhang is a warm-hearted person and usually helps Zhou Ziwen's family a lot.
"Aunt Zhang, these are some specialties I brought back from the countryside. You can try them." Zhou Ziwen handed over the gift.
Aunt Zhang took the gift and smiled from ear to ear: "Ziwen, you are such a sensible kid. You still think of us when you come back."
"You usually take such good care of us. Home, this is something I care about." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
Then they went to several other neighbors. After receiving Zhou Ziwen's gifts, every family couldn't help praising him for his sensibleness and filial piety.
"This child from the Zhou family is really good. Not only is he good-looking, he also has a good heart." The neighbors commented.
"Yes, look at him coming back from the countryside and not forgetting to bring us things. He is really thoughtful." Someone agreed.
“Zhou’s mother has done a good job in educating her. This child Ziwen will definitely be promising in the future.” Some people also praised Zhou’s mother.
The figures of Zhou Ziwen and his two sisters shuttled through the courtyard, and neighbors praised them one after another.
Their praise made Zhou Ziwen very satisfied. (End of chapter)
