There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Zhang Sheng and his wife got up early. After washing up, they entrusted their son to the landlord and went to the border government to report and waited for the specific work to be assigned.

Zhang Zhenhua slept until dawn, and then slowly put on his clothes and went to the ground. After washing up, he sat on the edge of the kang and looked around. Opposite the kang was a table with a row of books on it. They were all brought from Peking. There were two English-Chinese dictionaries, and several original English books. I walked over and read them and didn't recognize them. There were also a few books in biology and botany, including Chinese and foreign languages. I looked through it. Although there were illustrations, it was not interesting. There were some daily necessities, such as bedding, clothes, and washbasins. The clothes were brought from Peking and placed in the box on the kang. The boxes were from the landlord, and the washbasins and the like were issued by the border government after they arrived here.

After sitting for a while, I felt so bored. Zhang Zhenhua sighed, "Now I can't be a otakus." That's right, in my previous life, I had TVs, computers, and developed logistics at home, so I wouldn't feel bored even if I stay at home. But now? "Oh" sighed again, Zhang Zhenhua opened the door and walked out.

In the yard, Grandma Luo was feeding chickens, daughter-in-law Feng Erni was pushing mills, and Xiuxiu was squatting beside her grandma to watch the chickens eat. After saying hello to each other, Zhang Zhenhua wanted to go over to help, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law naturally kept blocking her. There was no way, Zhang Zhenhua suggested that she wanted to go shopping in the village. Grandma Luo thought about it and then agreed, but asked him to take Xiuxiu with her. Looking at Xiuxiu's expression, "If you don't take me out, I'll cry for you" and Zhang Zhenhua agreed.

Luojiaping Village is not big. There are small hills on the east, south and west sides. The Yan River is the north side. There is ice on the river. Walking west along the river for more than six miles is Yan'an City. It is winter now. Apart from a few pine trees, the mountains are covered with yellow leaves and weeds, let alone any scenery. Zhang Zhenhua and Xiuxiu were swaying around the village, and the little girl didn't speak, following him like a little tail.

"Xiuxiu." A child shouted. He turned his head and looked at it. Seven or eight children from the village ran over. It seemed that the oldest was only eight years old. The youngest was not wearing open-crotch pants. The leader was a little boy. Several children ran to the two of them. The one looked at Zhang Zhenhua and asked Xiuxiu, "Xiuxiu, is he the child from your family from Peking?" "Yes." Xiuxiu nodded. The child turned to Zhang Zhenhua again, "What's your name?" Zhang Zhenhua said his name, and the children also signed up for the name. The leader was Daming Gaojiang, the little grandson of the village carpenter Gao, and the nickname Gouwa.

After communicating the names, Gouwa sent an invitation, "City kids, we are hiding and seeking, so you can come too." "Hiding and seeking?" Zhang Zhenhua's eyes twitched slightly, and his heart calmed down: "The children of this era are still hiding and seeking in vain." He shook his head and said, "It's boring."

"Then ride a horse to fight," said another child.

"Blow up the marble."

"Take the 'kill'."

"Oh, the generation gap is too big." Zhang Zhenhua sighed and turned to Xiuxiu and said, "If you are willing to play, just play with them. I'm back."

"Stop!" Gouwa blocked his way and said angrily: "You come from the city, do you look down on us?" Zhang Zhenhua was stunned, "No." Well, it's actually a bit. After all, the gap between games in this era is too big than decades later.

"If you don't look down on us, then you can come up with an idea, let's play." Another child said. "Yes." "That's it." The other children also echoed.

"Is I going to give an idea?" Zhang Zhenhua was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he remembered several games suitable for these children, but these games require props. There was nothing around him.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the cold made several children tremble, which made Zhang Zhenhua have an idea and said, "It's too cold outside today. Let's go to my house. Let's tell stories." When the children heard this, they looked at each other, then nodded. They decided to make up their minds and went to Zhang Zhenhua's house.

When they arrived in the room, several children sat on the warm kang. Zhang Zhenhua asked first: "Who will tell me first?" "Of course you will tell me what you have come up with." "That's how." Zhang Zhenhua nodded, "Then do you want to hear that the length is short?" The children looked at each other, and the gobiao said, "Let's talk about the shorter first. Everyone said it again and then talk about the longest."

"Okay. Let me tell you the story of "The Lion King" first." Zhang Zhenhua said with a straight face, "Do you know that there is a land called Africa very far away from us, and there is a kingdom of forests and grasslands. Just as it dawned, all the animals in the kingdom looked like elephants, rhinos, giraffes, leopards, and birds and ants, all focused on a corner of a mountain in the middle of the grassland. Do you know why?" The little guys shook their heads. "Because Mufasa, the lion king who ruled this grassland kingdom today, has a baby."

"Wait a minute." Gouwa raised his little hand and everyone looked over, "What else do you mean by elephants and rhinos? What do giraffes look like?" "Yes." The little guys nodded together. "So. Wait a minute." After that, Zhang Zhenhua jumped off the kang, ran to the table to find paper and pencils. He said while drawing: "Look, the elephant looks like this, with long noses, big ears, and thick legs." After a while, an elephant had finished drawing and nodded secretly. The drawing he drew was still good, at least it was fine to fool the children. Then he drew rhino and giraffe.

"You are lying!" Gouwa yelled, "Why are there such strange animals in this world?"

"You don't believe it! Wait." Zhang Zhenhua took out another zoology book from the table and turned to a page, "You see, the book is written. There is also here, here." While saying that, he flipped to them. Several children closed their mouths after seeing it. Zhang Zhenhua smiled, "Okay, I will talk about some animals you have never heard of before, and I will naturally draw it." So, a simple version of this Disney masterpiece in later generations was born in this earthen cave in Yan'an. Even so, it was a shock to the children.

About half an hour later, the story was finished. Zhang Zhenhua slapped his hand and said, "Okay, I'm done, who should I do next?" Several children looked at each other, and the gobiao said, "You tell me one more. We haven't heard what you said."

"Yes, let me say another one."

"Tell me another one?" Zhang Zhenhua thought for a while, "Then let me tell you a gourd baby." He said that, clearing his throat, "A long time ago, there was an old man who made a living by climbing the mountain to pick herbs every day. This day..."

A gourd baby said until noon that the little guys were hungry, so they reluctantly went home for dinner.

In the evening, when Zhang Sheng and his wife came back, Fang Dongmei saw Xiuxiu being with her son, and asked, "Xiaohua, are you good at home today?" Xiuxiu rushed to say, "Brother Zhenhua is so awesome. The stories she told are so nice." "Yeah, my son can tell stories?" Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "What are you talking about?" "Nothing. I made up it." Zhang Zhenhua said hurriedly.

During dinner, Zhang Zhenhua said, "Dad, mom, have you arranged your work?" Zhang Sheng nodded, "It's all arranged, but we still have to participate in political studies and military training." "Hmm?" Zhang Zhenhua's eyes lit up, "Dad, mom, will you send a gun to you if you say that?" "It should...hey, what do you want to do?" Zhang Sheng glared, "I'll tell you that guns are not fun."

"I know." Zhang Zhenhua waved his hand and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Dad, can you give me some money tomorrow?" The couple was stunned. Fang Dongmei asked, "Xiaohua, what do you want money?" Zhang Zhenhua grabbed his hair, "You both have left, the family is too boring. I want to buy some books to read."

"Reading a book?" Zhang Sheng said seriously: "Xiaohua, if you are bored, go to play with the children in the village. The family's money is not enough, and you have to spend it on the right path. You should go to school in two years, so don't buy children's books."

"It's not a children's book, it's a novel or a classic novel." Zhang Zhenhua explained.

"Novel?" Zhang Shengyile, "You can understand a few words you recognize?"

"Stop looking down on people." Zhang Zhenhua hurried to the table, took out a book on biology, opened a page and recited: "Locust, also known as: grasshopper, insect class, orthoptera, locust family..." He continued to recite it one by one, and kept reading four pages before he closed the book, and his little head tilted, "How is it, is it amazing? Praise me quickly! Praise me hard! I can withstand it."

Zhang Sheng and his wife widened their eyes, and Fang Dongmei hurriedly asked, "Son, when did you know so many words?" Zhang Zhenhua slapped his chest, "This is called dragon giving birth to dragon, phoenix giving birth to phoenix, mouse's son can dig holes."

"Stop talking!" Zhang Shengshen said.

Fang Dongmei thought for a while and said to Zhang Sheng: "Since my son wants to read books, just buy it. It's not a bad thing. Reading books at home is better than having fun outside and being naughty."

"Then you can't give him the money. It's so dangerous for a child to take so much money. What book do you want to read? Tell me, I'll bring it to you when I come back from get off work tomorrow."

"What should I do tomorrow during the day? It's boring to be alone at home."

"How about this, I will discuss with you Aunt Feng and let her take you into the city tomorrow. I will also look at you."
