"Ziwen, I heard that your child was born. Let's come and take a look."
Zhang Wenli said with a smile.
“Yes, yes, let’s take a look at the child.”
Zhou Qiang nodded hurriedly.
"The child is sleeping inside! Do you want to see it?"
Zhou Ziwen asked with a smile.
Although he knew that Zhou Qiang and Zhang Wenli were not just here to see the children, Zhou Ziwen was in a good mood because they also brought gifts.
Although it is an expensive gift, just a bag of sugar and a few eggs, at least the attitude is good.
“I want to see it.” Zhang Wenli nodded eagerly.
Speaking of which, Zhou Ziwen was the first among them educated youths to give birth to a child.
Girls are naturally sentimental. Although they haven't met their children yet, they feel very kind to them.
"Haha, go ahead, it's in the house." Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.
"Brother Qiang, you guys went home to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year! How is the situation?"
Turn around, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Qiang started chatting.
"Yes, I went home." Zhou Qiang nodded, with a hint of emotion on his face, "Everything is fine at home, but my parents are getting older and their health is not as good as before."
< br>
Zhou Ziwen patted Zhou Qiang's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry too much. It's normal for your parents to have some minor health problems because they are old. We just need to pay more attention to them."
The two chatted for a while. The members of the association were short-lived. When it was almost time, Zhou Qiang said hesitantly, "Ziwen, I heard that the quota for workers, peasants and soldiers in the village this year has not been decided yet. Do you know the news?"
"I really don't know about this. , you know, I have only been back for a few days." Zhou Ziwen shook his head, but he felt suddenly.
No wonder they are so enthusiastic and bring gifts when they visit each other. It turns out something is wrong!
After hearing Zhou Ziwen’s words, Zhou Qiang showed a hint of disappointment on his face: “That’s it, I thought you could get some news.”
Zhou Ziwen smiled and comforted, "Brother Qiang, don't be anxious. The village will definitely make arrangements for the quota. Just wait patiently." My chance." Zhou Qiang nodded helplessly.
He wanted to ask Zhou Ziwen for help, but after getting along with him for such a long time, he also got to know Zhou Ziwen's personality.
He will definitely not participate in something like this.
At this time, Zhang Wenli walked out of the room and said with a smile: "Ziwen, your children are so cute, I like them all when I look at them."
"Thank you Sister Wen Li for the compliment. The child is still young, so I will have to trouble you to take care of her more in the future." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"This is what we should do. We are all educated youth and we help each other." Zhang Wenli responded quickly.
Then they chatted about other things in the village, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
“Ziwen, we have something to ask you for help.”
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Wenli said.
"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhou Ziwen frowned.
He thought Zhang Wenli was asking him to help get quotas for workers, peasants and soldiers in the production team!
"Haha, isn't this how the pigs we raised have grown up? Wenli and the others raised them better, just enough to hand over the pounds. We raised them a little bit, so we are going to kill them for meat."
“But we don’t know how to kill pigs, so why don’t we think of you!” Zhou Qiang explained with a smile.
"Yes, Ziwen, don't worry, we also have the rules that we should have, and we won't let you work in vain." Zhang Wenli also agreed beside him.
She said the rules were of course a matter of helping.
In the village, helping to kill pigs is not free.
Zhou Ziwen listened to their request, thought for a moment, and then nodded with a smile: "Okay, I can help with the pig killing, but I have a condition." "What condition, you tell me." Zhou Qiang and Zhang Wenli asked hurriedly.
“I don’t want anything else, just give it to me.” Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
Pig offal includes pig heart, liver, lungs, intestines, etc. Although it is not pork, it is also very delicious if processed properly.
“No problem, I’ll give it to you even if the pig goes into the water.”
Zhou Qiang and Zhang Wenli agreed immediately.
For them, pig waste is difficult to handle. Without any skills, the taste is as unpleasant as feces.
But it’s different when it’s in Zhou Ziwen’s hands. With his cooking skills, anything he makes is delicious.
"Well, when you are going to kill the pig, tell me in advance so that I can prepare." Zhou Ziwen nodded and said.
"Just tomorrow, do you think it's okay?" Zhang Wenli asked expectantly.
"Okay, tomorrow then." Zhou Ziwen readily agreed.
"Thank you so much, Ziwen." Zhou Qiang said gratefully.
"It's okay, we are all friends, and we should help each other." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.
Then, they chatted about other things. It wasn't until it was almost time to eat that Zhou Qiang and Zhang Wenli stood up to leave.
"Ziwen, let's go back first, and we'll come back to you early tomorrow morning." Zhou Qiang said.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen smiled and sent them out.
During dinner, Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi, and Chen Shiying sat around the dinner table. While enjoying the dinner carefully prepared by Chen Shiying, they talked about Zhou Qiang and Zhang Wenli's requests during the day.
"Yiyi, Shiying, I'm going to help Zhou Qiang and Zhang Wenli kill pigs tomorrow. They promised to give me pigs in the water as a reward." Zhou Ziwen said to the two sisters with a smile.
"Killing pigs? Brother Ziwen, can you still kill pigs?" Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously.
Although she knew that Zhou Ziwen was a good cook, killing pigs and cooking were two different things!
"Haha, it's not difficult, you just need to be braver." Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.
"Hehe, Brother Ziwen is the most powerful." Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.
"Haha! Of course." Zhou Ziwen looked proud.
"By the way, Ziwen, I heard Zhang Wenli say just now that many educated youths from the Educated Youth Academy have returned." Chen Shiying said.
“Yes, everyone went home to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year. Now that the holiday is over, it’s natural to come back and continue working.” Zhou Ziwen nodded.
He also heard Zhou Qiang say this just now.
"Spring plowing is about to begin, and I don't know if any new educated youth will arrive."
Chen Qiaoyi said with some fear of chaos.
"Based on the situation in previous years, it is estimated that a group of educated youth will go to the countryside before spring plowing."
Zhou Ziwen answered.
He actually talked to Wu Dagang about this matter.
This year is the 1975 year, and the country’s policy of sending educated youth to the countryside is still being implemented. As a place to receive educated youth, Dabazi Village is indispensable.
"If there are new educated youths coming, the Educated Youth Academy will be lively." Chen Shiying said with a smile.
"Yes, there will be fun again then." Zhou Ziwen agreed with a smile.
Every time a new group of educated youths arrive, they will always cause something to happen, and they are almost used to it.
But they don’t live in the Educated Youth Home, so even if something happens, it won’t have much to do with them.
When the time comes, they will just have to watch the show. (End of this chapter)
