After lunch, the family sat in the living room and enjoyed a cozy time.
Chen’s mother is very interested in the life of Zhou Ziwen and the two sisters in the countryside, and also wants to know whether they have a hard life in the countryside.
Although through letters, the two sisters also described their life in the countryside.
But the descriptions of the two sisters were very different from what she knew. She felt that the two sisters must have reported good news but not bad news. Even if they suffered in the countryside, they would not tell her.
Zhou Ziwen talks about some of their experiences in the countryside.
For example, how he learned the knowledge of growing mushrooms, and then built a mushroom house with the support of the production team, and finally got the two sisters to work in the mushroom house.
“Actually, growing mushrooms is not an easy task. It requires good control of temperature, humidity and ventilation conditions. Through practice and study, we have gradually mastered a set of effective planting methods.” Zhou Ziwen said seriously explain.
Mother Chen listened with great interest and nodded in agreement from time to time. She could see that Zhou Ziwen was not only smart and capable, but also passionate about his work.
"Ziwen, you are amazing, you can make such good use of the resources in the countryside." Mother Chen said approvingly.
Zhou Ziwen smiled modestly, "Mom, this is all inseparable from everyone's joint efforts. The villagers in the countryside are very simple, and they also gave us a lot of help."

Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying also joined the discussion and shared what they saw and heard in the countryside. The family was chatting lively and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"By the way, Ziwen, how long do you plan to stay when you come back this time?" Mother Chen asked with concern.
"We plan to stay for about a week and then go back." Zhou Ziwen replied.
"That's great, our family can finally get together."
Speaking of this, Mother Chen thought of Father Chen who was still suffering, and her mood suddenly dropped.
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi knew their mother very well, and they knew what she was thinking when they saw her like this.
Zhou Ziwen also noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, so he comforted him, "Mom, don't worry about dad. I'll go back in a few days and try to find a way to see dad."
This is something Zhou Ziwen has thought about for a long time.
In the end, Father Chen didn’t make any serious mistakes. He was just unlucky and got implicated.
In a situation like his, it wouldn’t be difficult to go over and visit.
Of course, if you were an ordinary person, it would be a bit troublesome to visit, so Zhou Ziwen was going to find someone to help.
It just so happens that after returning this time, he will go to visit Zhou Chaoyang's uncle. If he mentions this matter then, I believe Uncle Zhou will be happy to help.
After all, he was just visiting his relatives and there were no sensitive issues involved.
Not to mention that Zhou Ziwen also helped him see a doctor, which greatly improved his condition. Based on his relationship with Zhou Chaoyang, Uncle Zhou was willing to help him.
“Ziwen, can you really go see Lao Chen?”
Hearing this, Chen Ma's eyes lit up.
"It's not a big problem, I can find someone to help." Zhou Ziwen nodded, and then explained Zhou Chaoyang's identity, and then explained how he helped Uncle Zhou see a doctor.
Mother Chen is the editor of the newspaper. Although Zhou Ziwen did not explain much about Uncle Zhou's identity, she could understand the energy represented by this kind of person.
"Ziwen, I'll trouble you." Mother Chen was very worried about Father Chen.
Where Dad Chen lives, the living conditions are more difficult than those of Zhou Ziwen and others.
When she heard that Zhou Ziwen was going to visit, she agreed without thinking.
"Mom, don't say that, we are all a family and we don't need to see anyone outside." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Yes, Mom, don't worry! Brother Ziwen is very powerful."
Chen Qiaoyi was also comforting him. "Good, good, good boy."
Mother Chen was moved and held Zhou Ziwen's hand.
The afternoon sunlight shines through the window on the floor of the living room, adding a bit of warmth to this cozy scene.
Chen’s mother’s eyes were full of gratitude and relief. She gently patted the back of Zhou Ziwen’s hand and continued:
“Ziwen, if you think so, Mom really I'm very touched. Lao Chen has been worried about his family, especially your life in the country."
"We are so happy that you came back with so many gifts. We didn't expect you to think about it. It’s great to go and see him.”
Zhou Ziwen responded with a smile: "Mom, this is what I should do."
Chen Shiying also echoed from the side: "Mom, since Ziwen agreed to visit dad, don't worry."
Chen Qiaoyi was also comforting beside her, "Yes, Mom, you have to take care of yourself too!"
After hearing this, Chen's eyes couldn't help but turn red, but then she squeezed hard again He showed a smile: "Well, I'm fine. I just miss your father a little and am afraid that he will suffer there."
In the next few days, Zhou Ziwen, Chen Shiying, and Chen Qiaoyi spent time in Hangzhou. An unforgettable time passed.
In order to accompany them, Chen’s mother took a few days off.
Chen’s mother accompanied them to visit the beautiful scenery of West Lake, taste Hangzhou’s delicacies, and also went to nearby ancient towns together.
Everywhere she went, Mrs. Chen would be filled with emotion, telling stories about her youth and the changes in Hangzhou.
Zhou Ziwen also took the opportunity to introduce his family situation to Chen's mother in detail, including his parents, elder sister, younger sister, and his various experiences in the countryside.
Mother Chen listened very intently and got to know Zhou Ziwen’s family better.
In the blink of an eye, a week will pass. The night before leaving Hangzhou, Zhou Ziwen and Chen's mother had a long talk.
He once again assured Chen’s mother that he would arrange to visit Chen’s father as soon as possible and would write to her regularly to report the situation.
Mother Chen held Zhou Ziwen's hand tightly and said gratefully: "Ziwen, you are such a good boy. I feel really relieved to have you by Qiaoyi's side. Remember to say hello to my in-laws for me , tell them Qiaoyi is fine with us, don’t worry.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded solemnly: “Mom, I will. You should also take care of yourself and we will come see you next time.”
Early the next morning, Zhou Ziwen, Chen Shiying, and Chen Qiaoyi reluctantly bid farewell to Ma Chen and embarked on their journey back to Sijiu City.
The train started slowly. Zhou Ziwen looked at the scenery of Hangzhou gradually receding outside the window, feeling filled with emotion.
This trip to visit relatives gave him a deeper understanding of Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi's families, and he also felt Chen's mother's care and expectations for them.
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi sat next to Zhou Ziwen, and their moods were a little complicated.
On the one hand, they are reluctant to leave their mother; on the other hand, they also want to return to Sijiucheng as soon as possible and then visit their father.
"Ziwen, thanks to you this time, my mother can be so happy." Chen Shiying said softly.
"Yes, Brother Ziwen, you are really great." Chen Qiaoyi also agreed.
Zhou Ziwen smiled and said: "This is what I should do, we are a family."
On the train, Zhou Ziwen and his two sisters recalled their time in Hangzhou Bit by bit, cheerful laughter bursts out from time to time.
They talked about the beautiful scenery of West Lake, the delicious food in Hangzhou and the warm time with Chen's mother.
After a period of journey, the train finally arrived at Sijiucheng.
Zhou Ziwen carried his luggage and led the two sisters out of the train station. (End of this chapter)
