Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 682 Chapter 681 How to contribute?
After returning to the Women's Federation dormitory, Tang Zhitong left the fishing rod to Gao Dashan and said, "Master Gao, I'll use the bucket first and I'll bring it down to you later."

Tang Zhitong didn't give the fish for the time being. Anyway, he would have to send the bucket down soon, so he could just put the fish in the bucket to avoid some shoving.

"Okay, just use it, there's no rush for the bucket. Should we return the fishing rod to Jingmin?" After Gao Dashan took the fishing rod away, he did use it a few times, but now that Wang Jingmin has started fishing again, he wanted to return it.

"Master Gao, I feel more at ease leaving the fishing rod with you, so that Jingmin won't go fishing secretly by himself." Tang Zhitong refused bluntly. Wang Jingmin could go fishing with his company, but he couldn't give him the fishing rod because the child's self-control was really poor.

"Okay, then leave it with me first. You can take it whenever you need it. I won't give it to anyone else." Gao Dashan understood and gave his guarantee without hesitation.

"Okay, thank you Master Gao. Jingmin is still outside, I'll go back first." Tang Zhitong put down the fishing rod, turned around and left.

The family was very surprised that Tang Zhitong and Wang Jingmin could catch so many fish.

Wang Jingmin excitedly shared his pleasant fishing experience with his family.

Tang Zhitong poured the fish into the pool, picked up a fish weighing more than one pound from the middle and threw it back into the bucket. The fishing rod and bucket should not be used in vain, so he returned the bucket and the fish so that Gao Dashan and the others could have a meat dish for dinner.

"Mom, I'm going to go downstairs and bring the bucket to Master Gao. I'll be back to cook later." Tang Zhitong carried the bucket out of the kitchen and just happened to hear Wang Jingmin bragging to his family about having a big nephew.

"Okay." Ye Zhijuan noticed that there were fish in the bucket. She didn't say anything and agreed with a smile.

Ye Zhijuan was very relieved about her son-in-law's ability to handle interpersonal relationships, but she didn't expect that the two brothers would catch so many fish in just over two hours when they went out today.

Gao Dashan and Zhang Ye had a very honest attitude towards the fish given by Tang Zhitong: they couldn’t accept it.

"Master Gao, keep it. We caught a lot today. If you hadn't told me there were a lot of fish there, I wouldn't have had the chance to catch so many." Tang Zhitong put down the bucket, explained, and was about to walk out.

Gao Dashan had difficulty walking and was unable to stop Tang Zhitong, but Zhang Ye was agile and stood in front of the door with a red face, stretching out his arms to prevent Tang Zhitong from leaving.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? If people outside see me, they will think I stole something from your house." Facing the honest Zhang Ye, Tang Zhitong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was this going to be an inevitable refusing?
"Xiao Tang, we don't treat you as an outsider. You found such a decent job for Ye Zi, and we haven't thanked you yet. How can we have the nerve to ask for your fish again?" Gao Dashan took the fish from the bucket and was about to return it to Tang Zhitong.

"Oh, Master Gao, didn't you give me cigarettes at that time? To be honest, I was embarrassed to take the cigarettes. My sister-in-law agreed to help me save face in front of my friends. Let's not talk about this matter anymore. If we go into it further, there will be no end." Tang Zhitong stopped there. After all, it was Gao Dashan who saved Wang Jingmin first.

"Then I would feel embarrassed to take this fish." Gao Dashan could understand what Tang Zhitong meant, but he did not want to receive gifts without doing anything. He felt bad for giving him so much just because he had used back the fishing rod and it was not damaged.

"Well, Master Gao, consider it as my entrusting you to pay more attention to Jingmin and don't let him run around outside." Tang Zhitong casually found a passable excuse and looked at his watch. After cooking here, he had to go home and time was very tight.

"Then..." Gao Dashan hesitated.

"It's settled. Sister-in-law, can you let me go?" Tang Zhitong did not give Gao Dashan any more chances and turned to Zhang Ye to apply for approval.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Jingmin." Seeing that her husband had no objection, Zhang Ye withdrew her arm and gave Tang Zhitong a guarantee.

Tang Zhitong likes dealing with honest people because it doesn't require him to play tricks and it's not that tiring, but there are fewer and fewer honest people.

Honest people don't want to steal or rob. Without rations, how can they survive the current famine?
Tang Zhitong went upstairs to mix the cold dishes, put the fish in the pot, covered the pot, skewered the remaining fish, washed his hands, and left the kitchen and said, "Mom, the fish is stewing in the pot. It will be ready soon. Please keep an eye on it."

"What? Are you going back? Let's eat here together." Ye Zhijuan understood that her son-in-law wanted to leave and tried to persuade him to stay.

"No, I'll go back and stew some fish while I'm free today." It's been a while since we've seen meat here, and it's the same at home. Tang Zhitong didn't want to favor one over the other.

"Okay, then drive slowly." Tang Zhitong's reason was so powerful that Ye Zhijuan couldn't refute it.

The young couple packed up their lunch boxes, plates, and fish, and went out.

It was around seven o'clock in Sijiu City. The sun had already set and the twilight was like blue ink mixed with gray, staining the eaves of the old courtyard. Only a few street lamps stood quietly by the road, lighting the way home for pedestrians.

It was the time when every household was cooking, and the streets were filled with the smell of sulfur dioxide from burning coal.

Most domestically produced coal contains sulfur. When winter comes, the smell of Beijing is so authentic that if it weren’t for the frequent north winds, you would have to wear a gas mask when going out.

Tang Zhitong's family was also surprised that he caught a fish.

The fish Tang Zhitong brought back were all half-grown. Although they were small, they were numerous and enough for a feast for his family.

In addition to his family, Beibei was also very happy. He kept rubbing against Tang Zhitong's trouser legs, and occasionally stretched out his paws to touch Tang Zhitong's legs to remind him to feed him.

"You little greedy cat, you won't be able to find a partner when you grow up." Tang Zhitong put the fish into the pot and teased Beibei with the two fish he had specially left.

The fish is not big, only as long as a finger.

Zhang Guifang rarely said anything derogatory. After several months of getting along, Beibei has become a member of the family.

People in Sijiucheng love cats. It can be seen from this that they use "male" or "female" in front of cats to distinguish between male and female, which is a unique way of referring to animals.

Faced with Tang Zhitong's teasing, Beibei raised his left paw and scratched, meowing as he did so.

"Give it to it quickly. Look how anxious the child is." Zhang Guifang couldn't bear it anymore and said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Tang Zhitong smiled, put the small fish in the palm of his hand, pushed it down, and handed it to Beibei.

At this time, Beibei no longer used his claws, but put his head close, picked up a fish from Tang Zhitong's hand, put it on the ground and chewed it, and then picked up the second one.

Maybe it was because Tang Zhitong was the one who secretly added the most extra food to Beibei’s meal, so although they didn’t interact much, Beibei didn’t reject Tang Zhitong.

After Beibei finished eating the two small fishes, Tang Zhitong hooked Beibei's chin with his fingers and played with it as if he was teasing a decent woman, which made Fengzhi next to him very envious because Beibei never played with her like this.

Tang Zhitong didn't dare to pick it up and pet it. The weather had been getting warmer recently, and Beibei was almost turning into a walking dandelion. Once the fluff stuck to the body, it would be very difficult to take care of it.

Some things are not easy to remember if you don’t come into contact with them, even if you knew them before.

If Tang Zhitong didn’t have a cat at home, he wouldn’t think of pet supplies. Cat teasers are just one of them, there are also hair-removing tools and pet combs!
The hair-removing tool requires the use of chemical products, which may be technically difficult, but using a pet comb is not difficult!
People today would never imagine that in the future there will be many more varieties of pet combs than those for humans!
Tang Zhitong knew that pig bristles were strategic materials and China was the largest exporter. In addition to military use, some of them would be carefully selected to make combs.

Chinese people use pig hair to make shoe brushes, which are used to brush shoes and polish shoes, while Westerners use pig hair to make hair combs, which are luxury goods certified by the British royal family. It can only be said that the hair quality of people from different countries is quite different.

Pig bristle combs are used for combing hair, so maybe there are some differences in pet combs?
How to obtain this information gap? This is a difficult problem.

"Eanzi, stop tickling Beibei. Go wash your hands and eat." Zhang Guifang glanced at the pot. The fish was already stewed and the aroma was wafting out.

"Okay." Tang Zhitong slapped Beibei on the head, causing Beibei to let out a dissatisfied "meow".

After dinner, go to the side room.

Xiao Wang knew that her husband was under a lot of psychological pressure, so she took the initiative to act as the chef. The main dish tonight was Beijing-style chicken roll with soy sauce.

"There is a representative in our unit. I see he is cheerful all day long. I guess he doesn't have that much pressure. I will ask around for you later." After cooking, Xiao Wang cleaned up the soy milk and lay down again.

Having been married for a year, and with the communication with Lu Lixian and Liu Yue, Xiao Wang is no longer the Ah Meng of the past. He knows how to calculate the days. Today is the best time for conceiving a child, so he does not use a pillow as a cushion.

"Forget it. I'll wait for them to contact me and then we'll ask together." Tang Zhitong didn't want Xiao Wang to owe anyone a favor. He was not worried about the pressure from the Human Resources Committee. His refusal at that time was just an instinctive resistance because he didn't want to get too involved.

After all, it’s only a few years before the wind starts to blow. You should keep a low profile. No matter how strong the wind blows, you can protect your family with the photos.

If you get too involved and touch upon the interests of certain people, then when the storm gets strong, you will be easily affected, and even photos may not be able to protect yourself.

But the situation today is that I have been pushed into a high position, and there is also the factor of being received. I cannot be idle, nor can I touch upon the interests of others, so the operation is a little more difficult.

"Okay, just ask when the time comes. Who owns all the power? You are the representative, even if you go to No. 2 Zhengyi Road to curse in the streets, no one dares to stop you." Student Xiao Wang said mischievously, resting his head on Tang Zhitong's arm.

"I'm not crazy about gains and losses, so why should I curse? Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed." Tang Zhitong came over, rubbed his lip skin against Xiao Wang's forehead skin, and said.

People is a qualifier. Not all people are the people. It is possible that they are the people now, but not in a few years. It is possible that they are not the people now, but will be the people in a few years.

Relatively speaking, the "resident" on the ID card is the most accurate.

Tang Zhitong was no stranger to Zhengyi Road, and could even be said to be familiar with it. The Postal City Bureau, Lu Lan's unit, Zhang Xinping's unit, and the city government were all nearby.

No. 2 Zhengyi Road is the seat of the municipal government, just east of Lu Lan’s unit.

With this identity, let alone cursing outside Gate 2, as long as there is a legitimate reason, even if he goes in and points at someone's nose and curses, he will have to greet them with a smile and swallow the spit in his face.

Obviously, Tang Zhitong would not do that.

The reason for speaking loudly and staying far away is not to borrow the autumn wind.

Tang Zhitong felt that although his position was not high, he had a channel to submit suggestions to higher-ups.

Although I have the space, how many people can I help by using my personal hack to help secretly?
Since I have such an opportunity, I should seize it and try to put forward and implement one or two suggestions that are beneficial to the people during my term of office, so that my trip will not be in vain and His earnest words will not be in vain.

The next day, Monday, February 3nd.

The ancient city of Sijiu woke up from its sleep and started a new day.

The skinny mule pulled the cart, carrying the heavy load forward, not knowing whether it could have enough food and clothing today, or survive tomorrow.

For the mule, every day of life is a day of suffering. In such a life, death may not be a relief.

But people are different. Except for those who are sick, no one doesn't want to live.

As the days got longer, Fengzhen and Wang Jingying began to go to school in a group. After dropping off classmate Xiao Wang, Tang Zhitong rode his bicycle to the Post and Telecommunications College.

Since Tang Zhitong mentioned his gratitude to Luo Qingquan yesterday, he not only brought a slingshot today, but also started to keep an eye out for flying creatures in the sky.

Sparrows are almost non-existent. Although no large-scale "four pests eradication" activities have been organized in the past six months, in previous activities, the mortality rate of sparrows was the highest.

In the list of the four pests, compared with the other three, sparrows are conspicuous in size and easy to be caught by the eye, and their reproductive capacity is the lowest among the four. More importantly, sparrow nests are too easy to be dug out.

Nowadays, most children, whether in cities or in rural areas, do not have many snacks, and sparrow eggs are one of the few natural sources of protein, and can even be said to be a gift from God.

Sparrows usually build their nests in wall cracks or under eaves. Smart children will climb ladders and pick out sparrow eggs according to the season and cook them to eat.

Because sparrows are night blind, after the children had robbed their nests and eaten the eggs, they would go to the shed with torches at night to catch sparrows. As long as the door was closed, the sparrows in the room would not be able to escape.

It is unlikely that the money will be handed in, and basically it all goes into the stomach, serving as a reward for the stomach.

The reason why Tang Zhitong knew this was because he had done this kind of thing when he was a child.

Sparrow eggs are smaller than quail eggs, and there are usually four in a nest. They taste fishier than chicken eggs and are not delicious. However, when I was a child, I ate them with gusto and often couldn't wait to eat them before they were cooked.

There are fewer sparrows, but there are more pigeons, turtledoves, gray magpies and crows, among which crows are the most numerous.

Crows are resident birds and live in groups. More importantly, they are not only smart, but also very vengeful.

If you hit one of them, expect revenge.

Although the crow couldn't pull out the rubber band on his underwear to make a slingshot, he could still use his claws to hit the glass.

Grabbing a stone, using inertia, and releasing the grip above the window, a piece of glass broke.

It is said that there was a man who shot a crow and all the glass in his house was broken, not a single piece was left intact.
