Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

The forest in Yuhedao is not wide but narrow, not as lush as the mountains in the countryside, but much more vast than the artificial forest. An old man said that this is an artificial forest, but Zhou Zheng thought it was not that important. He came here for fun, and it would be a shame to investigate how the forest was formed.

There are thorny paths in the woods that were opened up by predecessors, so that first-time tourists will not be lost. Walking along the path, the shade of the woods becomes deeper and deeper, and there are occasional birds singing, as if you have entered a primeval forest. Of course, this is just an exaggerated metaphor.

The thorny path was not friendly to Tian Xinyue who was wearing a skirt. There were always messy branches catching her skirt, and the sharp leaves would also scratch her fair arms. She complained: "Classmate Hanqing, where are you going? There is no road ahead."

Zhou Zheng was very patient with Tian Xinyue, the new classmate. He cleared the way for her and tried his best to make a path that would not affect her. He said, "I'm telling you the truth, but you can't laugh at us. In fact, we are here to hunt."

Tian Xinyue was stunned when she heard this, but she was thinking about how barren this forest was. She also thought about how Zhou Zheng and his friends were going to hunt here, so she couldn't help laughing: "Pfft, no way, why didn't you tell me earlier, there's nothing in this forest, what a waste of money you guys are!"

In fact, Zhou Zheng also discovered that the thorny path was almost at the end and no animals passed by. Even a rabbit or a bird could only be heard but not seen. It was unwise to choose to hunt in this forest. He smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, who would have thought that there would be nothing here? If I had known it would be like this, I would have caught wild ducks in Yuhe Road."

At this time, Xu Jianjun and others also turned back. Wan Jingliang waved his hand at Zhou Zheng and shouted, "Don't come over, there is no way ahead!"

Zhou Zheng and Tian Xinyue looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

Tian Xinyue suddenly pouted and said coquettishly, "Zhou Hanqing, carry me on your back when we go back. I sprained my ankle."

It was that kind of coquettish and arrogant tone, as if she was acting coquettishly with her partner. As she spoke, her pretty face turned red, looking like a red apple.

Zhou Zheng felt a little embarrassed. If it were just the two of them, he would have carried her, but Xu Jianjun and the others were there too. If he carried Tian Xinyue out of the woods, he didn't know how they would blame him afterwards.

Just as Zhou Zheng was hesitating, Tian Xinyue grabbed Zhou Zheng's neck, turned behind him, and jumped onto his back, grinning: "Hehe, let's go!"

Xu Jianjun and his men just happened to arrive and saw Zhou Zheng carrying Tian Xinyue on his back with a red face, and they immediately let out a wolf howl.

"Ahhh~, Zhu Bajie is carrying his wife on his back, Zhu Bajie is carrying his wife on his back."

In the 1950s, Tian Xinyue's behavior was very bold. Having such close contact with a male classmate might even be accused of "having promiscuous relationships". Although she was still young and would not be educated by the street office, it would definitely affect her reputation. Fortunately, she was in the woods and those who saw this scene were all Zhou Zheng's friends.

Zhou Zheng quickly explained: "Don't talk nonsense, Xinyue sprained her ankle, we are here to help!"

When Wan Jingliang heard that Tian Xinyue had sprained her ankle, he asked with concern: "Is she... okay? Can she still walk? Otherwise, let's go to the hospital."

Tian Xinyue was lying on Zhou Zheng's back, laughing secretly. She didn't just sprain her ankle, she was clearly trying to play a trick on Zhou Zheng. Now she was in a dilemma and had to explain, "No need. Han Qing has just straightened my ankle. I just need to rest for a while. Over there is our cornfield. I'll treat you to some corn, okay?"

Everyone was happy when they heard that they were going to eat corn. The boiled corn they had at Xu Jianjun's house at noon was not enough.

Wan Jingliang said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Tian. Are you going this way?"

He pointed in a direction.

Tian Xinyue said: "Yes, but we don't need to cross it. Let's get out of the forest first. There is a road over there."

Next, Tian Xinyue gave orders on Zhou Zheng's back, while Xu Jianjun and others led the way. When they returned to the narrow path just after entering the forest, they saw a thatched path behind several big trees.

Tian Xinyue pointed to the thatched road and said, "That's the road. Go in and you'll see my family's vegetable garden, where we grow a lot of sticky corn."

Zhou Zheng was a little curious. This forest in Yuhedao belonged to the country. How could the residents be allowed to cultivate the land here? Was there no one in charge?

With doubt in his heart, he said to Tian Xinyue on his back, "Is there no one to take care of it?"

Tian Xinyue naturally understood what Zhou Zheng meant, and said with a smile: "Who cares? Almost all the residents on Yuhe Road have cultivated a vegetable garden in the woods. They haven't cut down any trees or damaged the environment. The street offices have turned a blind eye to it. They are not that idle."

Wan Jingliang's father is the director of the Fire Department. He had heard his father Wan Guodong mention this policy before and he immediately affirmed it.

"Student Tian is right. My dad said that this situation is very common. As long as you don't damage the environment, you can grow vegetables in the open space in the forest. Do you know the forest area of ​​the steel mill? There is a large vegetable field in the middle of the forest. My dad and I visited it when we went to the steel mill before."

Tian Xinyue opened her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect Wan Jingliang to be following her.

"Ah, to inspect? Jingliang, your father is the head of the steel mill."

Wan Jingliang didn't expect Tian Xinyue to say his name. He felt a little happy and raised his head proudly:

"No, my father is the chief of the Fire Department. He is mainly responsible for the fire protection work of various factories in Dongcheng, including the steel rolling mill."

As they were talking, they had already walked through the thatched path and entered a vegetable field.

The vegetable plot is not large, only two or three times the size of the plot behind Zhou Zheng’s house.

The front row is planted with potatoes, eggplants, peppers, beans, etc., and further back is a field of corn. The lush corn is particularly eye-catching in this open space, and the green waves ripple in the breeze.

Tian Xinyue jumped off Zhou Zheng's back and ran towards the cornfield laughing.

"Wait here, I'll pick some corn for you."

Wan Jingliang, Xu Jianjun, Wang Shengli, and Tan Xuedong looked at Zhou Zheng strangely. Didn't you say you sprained your ankle? How could you say that?

Zhao Jianguo said worriedly, "Hanqing, is it really okay for classmate Tian to break the corn at home like this? Her parents won't say anything to her, will they?"

Zhou Zheng was very grateful to Zhao Jianguo for changing the subject and took over his conversation.

"It's okay. I'll bring her some apples tomorrow. Her parents might not beat her too hard for the sake of the apples."

Wan Jingliang couldn't help but chuckled: "Fuck, you are a human being, but you are so mean. I think classmate Tian seems to be interested in you, you can't let Yu Shui down!"

"Uh...what does this have to do with rain?" Zhou Zheng was a little surprised.

Xu Jianjun said: "Why is it okay? Didn't you say Yu Shui was your little wife at that time?"

Wang Shengli said disdainfully: "That's it..."

Zhou Zheng rolled his eyes and said righteously: "Stop it, how old are we? It's inappropriate to say these things. Don't say anything nonsense when classmate Tian comes back."

Wan Jingliang said sarcastically, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me."

Then he changed the subject and said, "Hey, guys, why do I feel that our hunting trip this time is a joke? What do you think?"

Zhou Zheng snorted, "It's indeed a joke, but it's not very funny. Who proposed to go to Yuhe Road? Stand up now to avoid physical pain."

Xu Jianjun scratched his head: "Damn, who said that?"

Wang Shengli, Tan Xuedong and Zhao Jianguo all looked at Wan Jingliang.

Wan Jingliang pretended to run away: "Haha, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Zhou Zheng also pretended to chase after him: "Misunderstanding, give me your life..."

Then Wan Jingliang decisively jumped out far away, hid behind a big tree, and laughed loudly.

Zhou Zheng didn't really chase after him, he just kept pacing in place.

His friends also laughed out loud, the happiness of youth is so simple.
