Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

All the way home, the road was completely white.

On the ground, in the trees, in the fields, and even as far as the eye can see, there are only some woods mixed with a touch of green.

The snow outside is slowly melting, and it is no longer possible to go out in ordinary snow. You must wear rain boots.

However, there is an advantage to having more snow on the ground, that is, it will not stick to the mud. No matter how far you walk, your feet will be clean. At most, there will be some snow on them. But it doesn’t matter. Just take it home and let it sit for a while. .

The temperature outside is relatively low, and everyone in the village is staying on the Kang in their homes, hiding under the covers and not wanting to get up.

Along the way, he didn't see anyone.

After returning home, Zhou Ziwen went directly to the chicken pen in the backyard.

There is also a thick layer of snow outside the chicken coop, and there is a series of small footprints on it, which were left by my wife when she was feeding the chickens.

Zhou Ziwen entered the chicken coop and opened the door of the chicken coop. Inside, several half-grown chickens were nestling in the chicken coop, hugging each other for warmth.

"Shh, shh." Zhou Ziwen drove them away from the chicken coop, took out the straw, and spread a thick layer of straw on the ground.

Looking at the somewhat empty chicken coop, Zhou Ziwen decided to modify it. First add a shed cover, and then seal it with straw. This way, the chicken coop will be warm.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ziwen put the straw aside and took two bamboos under the eaves.

Since he started bamboo weaving, he has kept some bamboo at home and usually puts it on the wooden beams above the eaves, which is convenient and does not take up space.

"Brother Ziwen, what are you busy with?" Upon hearing the noise, Chen Qiaoyi, who was staying next door, ran out.

"I'll make a chicken coop to keep them warm." Zhou Ziwen explained, and then urged, "Yiyi, come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Zhou Ziwen is physically strong and not afraid of the cold, but his wife is not. She just came out for a while, and her face was red from the cold.

"I want to accompany you!" Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.

"Good boy, come inside first. I'll finish my work in a minute. It's too cold outside, so don't catch a cold." Zhou Ziwen patted her shoulder with a doting look on his face.

"Yes." Chen Qiaoyi nodded obediently, "Brother Ziwen, don't stay out for too long. It's holiday now anyway, so you have plenty of time."

"Well, I understand. I'll come in later." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

With his physical condition, although it cannot be said that he is immune to all diseases, he can still resist some minor illnesses such as colds.

Not to mention he was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, even if he wasn't wearing one, he wouldn't feel that cold.

Zhou Ziwen's bamboo weaving skills are not bad. He has reached level two, close to level three. He can weave a simple chicken coop in no time.

It is said to be a chicken coop, but it is actually just a few square bamboo fences, with the front and bottom empty, one side used as the entrance and exit, and the other side placed on the ground.

As for the chicken coop, it doesn’t have to be beautiful, it just needs to be usable.

Taking the finished chicken coop, Zhou Ziwen came to the chicken coop, placed the chicken coop on the straw, and then evenly covered the newly made chicken coop with the remaining straw.

Looking at the chicken coop covered with straw, Zhou Ziwen felt warm just looking at it. He felt that the old hen at home should be able to lay eggs every day in the future.

After working for a while, Zhou Ziwen's body also warmed up. When he returned home, the two sisters sat on the kang, with their feet propped up on the quilt, one reading a book, and the other knitting a hat with wool.

When building a house, Zhou Ziwen specifically requested that the kang be connected to the kitchen stove. This practice is very common here in Heijiang, and everyone basically does this.

After it is connected to the kitchen stove, the temperature of the stove can be transmitted to make the kang warm.

The connecting pipes can also be closed when not in use, which is very convenient.

In addition to the kitchen, firewood can also be burned directly under the kang, but it is very inconvenient to burn firewood in the bedroom. He would rather burn firewood in the kitchen than in the bedroom.

Although his kitchen is not used much, he would boil a pot of water and heat the kang at night.

In fact, in the village, many villagers will prepare some charcoal and burn it with charcoal. It is durable and does not produce much smoke, so it is very suitable for burning in the bedroom.

However, because the time he went to the countryside was too short and he was usually very busy, Zhou Ziwen was not prepared. Anyway, he had prepared enough firewood, so it didn't matter if he didn't have charcoal.

"Ziwen, you're tired. Drink some water first."

Seeing Zhou Ziwen come in, Chen Shiying stood up and poured him water.

In the countryside, there are not so many details. Everyone shares a water cup.

Zhou Ziwen was not polite, took the water glass and took a big sip.

After what happened yesterday, he found that this girl was very enthusiastic about him. In the past, although his sister-in-law was nice to him, she was not so proactive.

To truly comply with that sentence, the path to a woman's heart must be something like that.

When Chen Shiying returned to the kang and picked up the book again, Zhou Ziwen got on the kang without ceremony.

He tilted his head and glanced at Chen Shiying's book and found that it was a relatively literary book.

Those who like to read this kind of book can only read it in hiding at home.

When you are not looking at it, you should carefully hide it to prevent others from gossiping.

Like the Educated Youth Institute, they basically don’t buy any books to read.

During this period, there are some things that need to be paid attention to.

If people in the village knew that an educated youth was reading, they would inevitably say some unpleasant things.

Of course, with Zhou Ziwen's current status, even if he reads some books, everyone will only say that he loves to learn.

Not only will he not gossip, but he will be said to be educated.

This is the change that status brings.

Although there was still some time before noon, Zhou Ziwen was not ready to go out.

If you have this time, wouldn't it be nice to chat with two beautiful girls?

Anyway, there is nothing much that can be done in the cold weather, so I might as well follow the customs here and stay at home during the winter.

There is a hang-up panel, and he can upgrade while lying down. Every minute and every second, he will learn more skills, and this improvement will not have any impact on him, just like it is already in his memory, but Suddenly I remembered.

After chatting with the two sisters for a while, Zhou Ziwen simply lay on the kang, listening to the voices of the two sisters, and he slowly fell asleep.

Chen Shiying had no reaction to Zhou Ziwen staying on her kang.

Here in Heijiang, once winter comes and there are guests at home, they are usually invited to the Kang.

Set up a small table on the kang, drink tea, chat, and eat snacks, all on the kang.

Even when eating at home, as long as there are not too many people, we eat on the kang.

However, most people would not lie down like Zhou Ziwen, unless they are relatively close relatives, they can be more casual.

For someone like Zhou Ziwen, even if he didn't have a relationship with his brother-in-law, he could still feel at ease.

Staying there until noon, Zhou Ziwen earned some more skill proficiency points.

We still had hot pot at noon today, but this time there was no part for Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang.

For the sake of convenience, they simply cooked the vegetables first and then served them directly on the kang.

I just cooked, and the house is very warm. I ate on the kang, and it wasn't cold at all.

Of course, the only thing you need to pay attention to is that you need to be careful not to dirty the kang when eating. (End of chapter)
