Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

After lunch, Zhou Ziwen took a nap.

After waking up, he glanced at Chen Qiaoyi and Xiao Yueyue who were still sleeping soundly, then got up quietly.

The weather is good today, and he plans to expand the chicken coop behind the house.

After the expansion, we’ll build a pond and raise the ducks and geese in it after they hatch.

He plans to build an extension to one side of the chicken pen large enough to accommodate ducks and geese in the future.

He already had a rough blueprint in his mind, and the next step was to put it into practice.

He went back to the tool room and took out the necessary tools, such as a hammer, nails, a saw and some wooden boards.

Zhou Ziwen's carpentry skills have reached the maximum level, so these tasks are not complicated for him.

He first measured the size of the expansion that needed to be built and then marked it on the ground.

Next, he began cutting boards to make the new fence according to the marked dimensions.

He had a skilled technique and in a short while, the new fence panels were ready.

Zhou Ziwen fixed the new fence boards to the original chicken coop, making sure that each board was nailed firmly in place.

While he was working, he was careful not to make too much noise so as not to disturb the mother and daughter in the house.

After the fence expansion was completed, Zhou Ziwen began to build the pool.

Building a pool is a physical job, and this is exactly what Zhou Ziwen is good at.

He is very strong and has plenty of stamina, and one hoe can remove a large piece of soil.

He first used a hoe to dig a hole of suitable size as the foundation of the pool.

Then he found some stones and laid them on the bottom and walls of the pit to prevent the soil from collapsing and leaking.

During the stone laying process, he carefully selected each stone to ensure that they were of the right size and shape so that they could fit together tightly.

After laying the stones, Zhou Ziwen began to fill the pit with soil and tamp the soil to make the bottom of the pool more solid.

He took some water from the water tank in the yard and poured it into the pit to check for leaks.

If he found a leak, he would reposition the stones until the leak stopped.

By the time he finished all this, it was already quite late.

"Brother Ziwen, are you done with your work here? It's time to eat."

Chen Qiaoyi carried the child to the backyard.

When Zhou Ziwen heard Chen Qiaoyi's voice, he stood up, patted the dirt off his body, and replied with a smile, "Yiyi, it's almost done. You and Yueyue go back first. I'll pack up the tools and come back."

Chen Qiaoyi nodded, picked up Xiao Yueyue and went back to the house.

Zhou Ziwen looked at the newly built pool and the expanded chicken coop and smiled with satisfaction.

He put his tools away in the tool shed, then washed his hands and walked into the house.

The table was already filled with food, including stir-fried beans and carrots made by Chen Shiying, and a bowl of steaming egg soup.

Zhou Ziwen sat at the dining table, looking at Chen Qiaoyi, Chen Shiying, and Xiao Yueyue, his heart filled with happiness.

"Shiying, today's food looks delicious." Zhou Ziwen said.

"Ziwen, you've worked hard today. Eat more." Chen Shiying replied with a smile and picked up a piece of fried beans for Zhou Ziwen.

Zhou Ziwen took the beans, put them in his mouth and chewed them, nodding and praising: "Well, the beans are fried to the perfect temperature, very crispy and tender."

Chen Qiaoyi also smiled and said, "Sister's cooking is always delicious."

Everyone was eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was very warm.

After dinner, Zhou Ziwen accompanied the two sisters to review the college entrance examination knowledge for a while.

Zhou Ziwen is okay, he has an auto-attack panel, meditation skills, he is in good spirits and has a good memory.

As long as you have learned the knowledge, you will basically never forget it.

Especially through the skills of hanging up, once you get a certificate, you will never regress after you improve. But the Chen sisters are different. It has been one or two years since they graduated from high school.

A lot of what I learned I have forgotten.

Fortunately, their memory is still good. Although they have forgotten a lot, they have quickly recovered the forgotten knowledge through reading and studying.

According to the current progress, they just need to follow the procedures step by step, and when the college entrance examination is resumed, they will definitely be admitted.

After reviewing for half an hour, it was dark outside.

Zhou Ziwen looked out the window and said, "Let's stop reviewing here today. It's getting late, so everyone should go to bed early."

Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying nodded and packed up their books. Chen Qiaoyi held Yueyue in her arms and went back to the room with Chen Shiying to prepare for bed.

After Zhou Ziwen washed up, he returned to the house to rest.

Of course, there is a way to take a break.

Life is too short to have fun.

After the two sisters fell into a deep sleep, he went to Shen Zhaodi's room next door and stayed there for a while.

It was not until midnight that he returned to his room and fell asleep peacefully.

……

Silent all night.

The next day, Zhou Ziwen got up early.

After breakfast, he and the little one walked up the mountain.

He plans to dig some herbs today in case there is a shortage in the health center.

The air in the mountains was particularly fresh in the early morning. Zhou Ziwen took Tayun and Xiaobudian with him and walked on the winding mountain road.

Zhou Ziwen is already very familiar with Niutou Mountain.

He also knew where the herbs were found.

With the help of Feng Shui skills, nothing can escape his perception.

He first came to a shady valley, where the humidity was higher and it was a good place for some shade-loving herbs to grow.

Zhou Ziwen squatted down and carefully identified the plants around him.

He soon found several Polygonum multiflorum plants, their vines entwined around the surrounding branches and their leaves were dark green.

Zhou Ziwen carefully used a hoe to dig up the surrounding soil, dug out the Polygonum multiflorum intact, and placed it in a backpack beside him.

Then he found a patch of Houttuynia cordata not far away.

The leaves of Houttuynia cordata are heart-shaped and emit a special smell.

Zhou Ziwen skillfully pulled up the Houttuynia cordata by its roots, shook off the dirt on it, and put it into the basket.

Houttuynia cordata can not only be used as medicine, but also as a vegetable.

Of course, this dish depends on the person, those who like it will love it very much, while those who don’t like it can’t even stand the smell of it.

Tayun and Xiaobudian have entered hunting mode and are looking for the scent of prey.

From time to time, they would glance over to where Zhou Ziwen was, as if they were keeping watch for him.

Zhou Ziwen continued to search for herbs in the mountains. He came to a hillside with plenty of sunshine and some bupleurum growing there.

Bupleurum has a slender stem with small yellow flowers on the top.

Zhou Ziwen used a hoe to gently dig up the soil, dug out the Bupleurum plants one by one, and put them into his backpack.

Before he knew it, Zhou Ziwen's backpack was already filled with various herbs.

The herbs he dug were all used in large quantities in the clinic.
Zhou Ziwen looked at the basket full of herbs and nodded with satisfaction.

He led Tayun and Xiaobudian back along the mountain road. (End of this chapter)
