Early the next morning, Zhou Ziwen was awakened by the sound of gongs in the village. He raised his head and looked out the window. It was still dark outside and it was not yet dawn.

After lighting the match and lighting the kerosene lamp, Zhou Ziwen could see the time clearly. It was only four o'clock.

Have you ever seen the sky at four o'clock in the morning? Zhou Ziwen said that he had seen it today.

After getting dressed and opening the door, there were still a few lonely stars hanging in the sky outside. The sun came out in the east, reflecting a white light, and you could vaguely see the road outside.

"Woo!"

At this moment, there was a unique whine from the clouds at his feet.

Zhou Ziwen lowered his head and saw that this guy was biting a black thing in his mouth. Zhou Ziwen had a good eye, and when he looked closer, he saw that it was a field mouse.

"Why did the field mouse get into my house?" Zhou Ziwen frowned.

His house was newly built, and the surroundings were tightly covered. Unless the voles could climb over the courtyard wall and get in, they would have to dig holes.

Zhou Ziwen planned to wait until daybreak to check to see if the courtyard wall had been dug up by voles.

In the countryside, these guys have amazing reproductive capabilities, especially in fields where grain is grown. They can often be found during the autumn harvest.

"Tayun, that's right, I'll give you extra food tonight." Zhou Ziwen rubbed Tayun's dog's head and complimented him.

This little guy, after his training, actually knows how to catch prey on his own. It seems that in a while, when he grows up, he can let him go hunting in the mountains on his own.

The requirements are not high, as long as you can catch a hare from time to time.

For the growth of this little guy, he squeezed out precious idle time to improve his dog training skills.

As a beneficiary of this skill, how can we not give something in return?

"Ziwen, please wait a moment, I will spread out two cakes for you." While Zhou Ziwen was thinking about what to eat this morning, Chen Shiying's voice came from the wall next door.

"Sister, I'm sorry to trouble you." Zhou Ziwen quickly thanked her.

The Chen sisters don't have to deliver food today, and their working hours are the same as before. They will hear the bell ringing and prepare food for him.

This friendship made Zhou Ziwen feel a little heavy.

At the same time, a warm current arose in my heart, and I wanted to hold her in my arms and comfort her immediately.

"Such a good girl, I will never let you run away." Zhou Ziwen made up his mind silently.

If he was just interested in her before, this time he really fell in love with this hard-working girl.

With Chen Shiying helping him cook, Zhou Ziwen had free time. After doing a few boxing exercises in the yard and stretching his body, Zhou Ziwen went to the yard next door.

Chen Shiying had already opened the courtyard door for him in advance. Zhou Ziwen came to the kitchen and washed up. Chen Shiying's breakfast was also ready.

"Sister, please go get some sleep. It's still early before work." Zhou Ziwen urged while eating the heart-warming breakfast cooked by the eldest sister of the Chen family.

"Okay, just put the bowls away later. I'll ask Yiyi to wash them after she gets up." Chen Shiying said with concern.

"Ah."

While Chen Shiying went back to the house to rest, Zhou Ziwen hurriedly finished his breakfast.

When leaving the Chen sisters' house, Zhou Ziwen left Tayun in the yard.

After closing the courtyard door, he straightened his collar and set off towards the production team.

By the time he arrived at the production team's grain-drying field, many torches had been lit outside.

The entire grain drying field was lit up, making it look like a large bonfire show.

All the grain carts in the village came, most of which were flat carts and wheelbarrows, and the main force was the two ox carts from the village.

In addition to the carts, there were more baskets. Each basket was filled with grain, and a pole was placed between the two baskets.

Some villagers have consciously put their poles in their hands, ready to go at any time.

Seeing that there were still many free seats, Zhou Ziwen also came to a basket.

After everyone had almost arrived, captain Zhou Weiguo gave the order, and the ox cart at the front set off first.

These two cows are the face of their village. Like the poorer villages around them, there are not even donkeys, let alone cows.

As the bullock cart started moving, the entire team began to move.

Behind the oxcart are carts and wheelbarrows, and behind them are villagers carrying baskets.

The whole team was very lively, everyone was chatting and laughing.

Some walked fast and started to jump in line with their baskets, while others walked slowly and were chased by others.

After leaving the village, the team walked relatively neatly at first, but after a while, the difference in physical strength became apparent.

Those with weak physical strength will slowly fall behind, while those with strong physical strength will follow closely behind the cart.

Zhou Ziwen mixed in the crowd and walked to the front of the team.

In front of him were the figures of villagers trying to push carts.

"Xiao Zhou, what kind of basket are you picking up? Come here and push the cart." Just as Zhou Ziwen was following the others briskly, Wu Dagang's voice came from the front.

"Oh, okay, Uncle Jiang, come and help me pick out the basket, and I'll push it." Zhou Ziwen turned his eyes and saw a man who was having a hard time pushing the cart.

"Okay!" Uncle Jiang hurriedly put down the cart in his hand and happily took the basket from Zhou Ziwen.

Compared with pushing a trolley, carrying a basket is much easier.

Moreover, you can rest for a while when you are tired from carrying baskets, but you cannot push a cart. You must follow the front of the team, and you can't be lazy even if you want.

As he walked, Zhou Ziwen suddenly heard a burst of curses coming from in front of him.

Looking up, they saw that they had arrived at a crossroads at the courtyard gate.

The other half of the intersection is the food delivery team from the next village.

Everyone wanted to deliver the food to the grain station as early as possible, so they set off at about the same time. They would meet at the intersection where they merged into the main road.

The quarrel that Zhou Ziwen heard just now was the sound of the captain scolding others.

I saw the captain standing up from the bullock cart quickly and looking down at the captain in the neighboring village.

"Captain of the Xiaobazi production team, are you brave now? Do you dare to compete with me?"

"Captain Zhou, no!" the captain of Xiaobazi Village smiled bitterly.

If he had known that the person fighting against them was from Dabazi Village, he wouldn't have dared to give him hundreds of courage!

"Stop talking nonsense, what to say about this matter, you draw a line, I will take over, one-on-one or group fight?" The captain put on a bandit look, which made the captain of Xiaobazi Village breathless.

He has learned how strong the captain of Dabazi Village is countless times over the years, and he dares not say more about it now.

"Captain Zhou, Uncle Zhou, this is all a misunderstanding. How dare we block your way? It's all new educated youths who don't know you, and this is the misunderstanding. I'll let them get out of the way, and wait for you to pass first. We just left." The captain of Xiaobazi Village showed a flattering smile.

"That's about right." Seeing the reaction of the captain of Xiaobazi Village, the captain nodded with satisfaction.

"Folks, let's go, don't delay things."

The captain waved his hand, and the villagers of Dabazi Village behind him immediately passed by the villagers of Xiaobazi Village with their heads held high.

Their Dabazi Village production team is well-known among the nearby production teams.
