Liu Haizhong sat down at the dinner table excitedly, picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip, talking to himself.

"ha!"

It’s great that I’m an uncle too!”

"so good!"

Liu Haizhong took another sip of wine and shouted to the second aunt in the kitchen.

"Are the eggs ready? Waiting to eat!"

The second aunt put the scrambled eggs on a plate and said hurriedly as she walked out.

"alright"

"alright"

"Why are you so anxious!"

"Here it is for you."

The second aunt put the plate on the dining table and asked.

"Old Liu!"

"Why are you so happy today!"

"Isn't he just a steward? Are you that?"

Liu Haizhong said while drinking wine and eating eggs.

"I can be a steward now,"

"Tomorrow, I might become the team leader of a steel rolling mill,"

"In the future, I may even become a workshop director or even a factory director."

The second aunt looked at the bragging bangs speechlessly, and then said.

"You drink slowly, I'm going to bed."

After saying that, he went into the bedroom to sleep, drinking wine in his bangs, thinking about what he would do when he had the power...how...

In the end, I drank a bottle of white wine. After drinking too much, Liu Haizhong climbed into bed and fell asleep.

…

Looking back at the Zheng family, Zheng Zhendong was scolded.

I could only tell Mother Zheng repeatedly that I knew I was wrong and would change it in the future...

The mother and son chatted for a while, and Zheng Zhendong went back to the south bedroom to sleep.

Lying on the bed, Zheng Zhendong had a lot of thoughts.

Sometimes I thought about the people and things in the courtyard, and sometimes I thought about how to live my life in the future. I tossed and turned, and didn't fall asleep until late at night.

The next morning, after mother and son had eaten and cleaned up, Zheng's mother Wang Cuifen went to work.

Zheng Zhendong rummaged through the boxes and cabinets at home and found matches, a slingshot, a short knife, a few pieces of string, a sack and several rabbit wire traps.

Then he took out his eldest brother's military coat from the closet and put it on.

Take off the cotton hat from the wall and put it on your head.

I took two steamed buns from the cupboard, wrapped them in paper, and put them in a military satchel along with matches, slingshots, daggers, and ropes.

Put a few wire covers into sacks.

He also used a military kettle and filled it with hot water.

Put the satchel and water bottle on your body, then carry the sack.

Turning around, he told his sister to look after the house, and said that if he didn't come back at noon, he would go to the factory to find Zheng's mother, eat in the cafeteria, and then go out.

Zheng Zhendong left the courtyard and strode towards Dongzhimen.

When I was approaching Dongzhimen, I heard a childish voice singing from the roadside.

“There is a plaque hanging on Dongzhimen, and the border is the Russian Pavilion;

The Russian Museum is showing movies, and there are four wells on the border;

There are no clocks in the four wells, and the boundary is Yonghe Temple;

Yonghegong has a main hall, and the border is the Imperial College;

Once the Imperial College is closed, the boundary is Anding Gate;

As soon as Anding Gate is opened, the boundary is the intersection;

Just three hops away from Jiaodaokou, the boundary is the Earth Temple;

When seeking fortune-telling in Tutu Temple, the border is Daxing County;

Regardless of Daxing County, the border is Longfu Temple;

Longfu Temple sells gourds, and its boundary is the Four Archways.

To the south of the four archways, to the north of the four archways, drink cold water under the four archways;

If you drink cold water for fear of being looked at, the border is the Kangxi Bridge;

Kangxi Bridge is not in vain, the border is Diaoyutai;

There is no one on Diaoyutai, and the border is Qihua Gate;

The railway is being built at Qihuamen, and there will be no detours going south or north."

Listening to this familiar yet unfamiliar folk song, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but feel filled with emotion, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would live a life of his own in this life.

Pass through the gap just opened this year on the north side of the city gate and arrive outside the city, cross the moat, and continue heading east.

After walking for about half an hour, we arrived at the outskirts.

Follow a path and come to a forest.

Looking at the thick snow in the forest, Zheng Zhendong took a break, opened the kettle and drank some water.

Then he walked towards the forest, stepping on the thick snow, making a crunching sound.

Zheng Zhendong walked for a while and saw rows of plum blossom-like marks in the snow ahead.

Zheng Zhendong was thoughtful and walked along the mark. After a while, he came to a small slope.

Zheng Zhendong walked around the slope and found several rabbit holes on the slope.

Then open the sack, take out the wire sleeves from inside, and place them in several holes.

Then he found dead branches, leaves and a handful of hay.

Light the hay and place it at the entrance of the cave, then put the leaves and finally the dead branches.

Although the leaves and dead branches were soaked by the snow and difficult to light, the smoke from the wet firewood was really strong.

After a while, the rabbits that were choked by the smoke fell into the trap set by Zheng Zhendong one after another.

Zheng Zhendong quickly unhooked the rabbits one by one and threw them into the sack.

Zheng Zhendong waited for a while and saw that no rabbit continued to run out.

First he put out the fire, and then found a thick branch from the woods.

Then he used a short knife to cut the branch into a stick, which was more than one meter long, and removed the burrs.

He stuffed the short knife back into his shoulder bag and waved it a few times with the stick, feeling very comfortable.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zheng Zhendong put on his backpack and water bottle, picked up the sack in one hand and a stick in the other, and walked back and forth.

Zheng Zhendong was in a good mood. As he walked, he thought that with these four big, four small and eight rabbits, he didn't run so far in vain today.

After walking for a while, there was a roe deer in front of him, staring blankly at him.

Without saying a word, Zheng Zhendong dropped the sack, picked up the stick, and rushed towards the roe deer.

He hit the roe deer on the head with a stick and killed the stupid roe deer.

Then Zheng Zhendong took out the rope from his satchel and tied the four hooves of the roe deer.

Then he tied the sack and the roe deer to the two ends of the stick respectively.

Carrying it on his shoulder like a pole, Zheng Zhendong walked quickly out of the woods.

After leaving the woods, crossing the trail, and walking for a while, Zheng Zhendong stopped by the roadside and took a rest.

At this time, a carriage pulling vegetables came bumping from east to west.

Zheng Zhendong quickly stopped the carriage and asked the middle-aged uncle driving the carriage.

"Uncle!"

"Can you give me a paragraph?"

The middle-aged uncle asked: "Young man, where are you going?"
