Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

East wing of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

Tian Xinyue and He Yushui were playing "hopscotch" on the sofa in the living room.

This set of hopscotch was made by Zhou Zheng himself on Nianqing’s birthday. He made two sets in total, one set as a birthday gift for Nianqing and one set to be kept in the room.

Since they got hopscotch, Tian Xinyue and He Yushui would play two games of it whenever they had free time.

There will be wins and losses, but no one can beat Zhou Zheng. When noobs fight each other, they will naturally exclude the experts.

After breakfast, Zhou Zheng suddenly had an idea and wanted to make some firecrackers.

So he exchanged two kilograms of black gunpowder in the points mall, took a bundle of newspapers from the study, and fiddled with them by himself at the dining table.

Making "firecrackers" is still a craft. Although Zhou Zheng's skills as a fitter, section worker, lathe operator and riveter are all at the highest level, the firecrackers he makes by hand are still rough and fine and look very irregular.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as it makes a sound, Zhou Zheng is having a lot of fun.

Not long after, Tian Xinyue and He Yushui finished a game of chess and quietly came behind Zhou Zheng to observe what Zhou was doing.

Zhou Zheng first made a paper tube with newspapers, with one side open and the other side sealed. On the sealed side, Zhou Zheng used an awl to drill a small hole, and then he passed a lead wire into the small hole.

When he did this, Zhou Zheng suddenly felt someone behind him, so he turned around and saw Tian Xinyue and He Yushui looking at him curiously.

When He Yushui saw Zhou Zheng turning around, he smiled and said, "Little Brother Zhou, what are you doing?"

Zhou Zheng put down the half-finished paper tube, took a finished "firecracker" from the table and handed it to He Yushui, "Ertijiao."

"Firecrackers?" He Yushui asked doubtfully.

Zhou Zheng explained: "It's a firecracker. It makes two sounds, one on the ground and one in the sky. You will know if you light one."

After listening to this, He Yushui found it very interesting and was eager to try it.

Tian Xinyue said: "If you want to let go, just go ahead, don't be upset."

He Yushui nodded, "Yeah." Then he ran out of the house with firecrackers.

Tian Xinyue asked worriedly, "Hanqing, is it reliable for you to do this?"

Zhou Zheng said arrogantly: "Remove the word 'ma' from me. What does 'reliable' mean? If there is no 'ma', then it is reliable, understand?"

Just then, a "boom" sound was heard in the yard, startling Zhou Zheng and Tian Xinyue.

Tian Xinyue tilted her head and looked at Zhou Zheng in confusion, as if to say, "Isn't it a firecracker? Two bangs?"

Zhou Zheng was also confused and was still waiting for another sound.

At this time, the door was opened, and He Yushui came in through the crack of the door with a dark face, cursing: "Brother Zhou, what is this? It's a firecracker. It explodes at the touch of a button. Look how it broke."

Zhou Zheng was stunned. "No way? I clearly followed the steps."

But this was not the time to think about these things. He stood up quickly, ran to He Yushui and asked with concern: "Is it okay?"

He asked as he examined He Yushui's body.

He Yushui pushed Zhou Zheng away and said coquettishly, "Oh, it's okay, little brother Zhou, it's broad daylight, please don't touch me randomly..."

At this time, Tian Xinyue shrugged, looked at Zhou Zheng with disdain, and snorted: "Oh, this is your reliability? The rain has turned you into a chimpanzee."

He Yushui frowned, "What? Chimpanzee!"

She waved her little hand and summoned a small mirror from the dimensional space. Looking at her dark reflection in the mirror, she burst into tears.

The little fist hit Zhou Zheng, "Humph, it's all your fault, it's all your fault, wuwuwu."

Tian Xinyue quickly covered her mouth, but still laughed out loud.

When He Yushui heard Tian Xinyue's laughter, he was stunned and looked at Tian Xinyue with grievance.

Tian Xinyue smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, please forgive my insincere smile."

She paused and said, "I have received professional training. Normally I won't laugh unless I can't help it. Wow, haha!"

Her laughter was quite devilish, and Zhou Zheng couldn't help but look dark.

Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire?

Sure enough, He Yushui's small fleshy hand climbed directly to Zhou Zheng's waist and twisted it hard.

Zhou Zheng cried out "Ouch!" and jumped away, saying aggrievedly, "Don't pinch me. I'm not making fun of you."

He Yushui wrinkled her nose and snorted, "Humph, but you made the cannon..."

Zhou Zheng opened his mouth, but really had nothing to say.

He was stunned for two or three seconds, then asked tentatively: "How about you go and put another one?"

Tian Xinyue couldn't help laughing again and was bent over with laughter.

He Yushui stamped her feet in anger, "Humph, I won't pay any attention to you guys."

She said and rushed to the bathroom.

Tian Xinyue looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Alright, stop it. I understand now. The fuse you made is not good. How can it explode at just one touch?"

Zhou Zheng pursed his lips. How could he not know that it was a fuse?

The key is that the points mall has no leads to sell.

By the way, does this count as discovering a system bug?

At this time, there was a knock on Zhou Zheng's door. Tian Xinyue shrugged and said, "Well, look, it scared others."

Zhou Zheng clapped his hands, dusted off the gunpowder on his hands, and then went to open the door.

Yan Fugui was outside the door, looking hopeful. "Zhou, what exploded?"

Zhou Zheng grinned, "No big deal, I just made a firecracker when I had nothing better to do, and I just tried it out as an example."

Yan Fugui was startled, then asked in surprise: "You can also make firecrackers?"

Zhou Zheng laughed, "Hey, it's just a little trick, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

Yan Fugui changed the subject and said, "Great, great! Come and watch TV. You are all watching TV at my place. It will be more lively with more people. I won't charge you for the ticket."

Zhou Zheng refused, "Oh, I won't go. I'm busy. How about the TV in the institute? It's pretty good, right?"

Yan Fugui gave a thumbs up and said, "That's not just good, it's quite good. When I went to Wangfujing before, I also saw TVs made abroad, and they can't be compared with yours at all."

At this point, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Leader, can I ask you a question?"

Zhou Zheng looked at Yan Fugui with a smile, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Yan Fugui rubbed his hands and said, "Look, you gave my Yu Li a TV, so why don't you get a bicycle ticket for my Jie Di? We are not outsiders, so you can't be partial to one and treat the other differently. Otherwise, Jie Di will get angry."

Zhou Zheng looked at Yan Fugui with a half-smile, until Yan Fugui was panicked, then he spoke, "Tell Jie Di to come to my room to get it in the evening."

Yan Fugui then smiled relievedly, "Okay."

Then he asked tentatively: "Leader, is the TV you gave Yu Li really worth 1200 yuan?"

"It's really worth it." Zhou Zheng said decisively.

Yan Fugui took a deep breath and said, "Hiss, is it really that valuable? Then can I sell it? After that, I will buy a black and white one."

Zhou Zheng said disdainfully: "Then guess what? Of course not. Reselling is speculation. If something goes wrong, I won't save you. 1200 yuan is enough to buy peanuts."

Yan Fugui patted his chest in fear and said, "No, no, I'm just talking, that's all."

Zhou Zheng asked in confusion: "You are not short of money, why are you still thinking about selling the TV?"

Yan Fugui scratched his head. “I’m just thinking about Jiefang and Jie Kuang coming back soon. I must prepare a house for them.”

Zhou Zheng pouted with disdain and said, "Come on, when they come back, they will be cadres and will be given priority in housing allocation. Do you still need to worry about it?"

He paused, then asked, "Hmm? Jiefang, Jie Kuang said he's coming back?"

Yan Fugui pushed up the frame of his glasses and said proudly, "Yeah, the letter I received two days ago said there are two places for early return. There is a high chance that they will be his brothers. Maybe they can even catch up with the New Year."

Zhou Zheng didn't want to talk anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's a good thing that you're back. I'm busy, so I won't talk to you anymore, go back."

Seeing Zhou Zheng ordering them to leave, Yan Fugui smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, you're busy."

Then take a step back.

Zhou Zheng nodded and then closed the gate.
