Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

It's just that the city is a little more prosperous, but if you really compare it with the sea, it's incomparable.

It’s a pity that I don’t have a camera in my space. If I had one, I would have taken more photos as a souvenir.

Forget it, I'll just take a look at it slowly and remember it in my mind.

The inner city is not big, but you can’t visit it all in one day, so just walk around the most prosperous areas.

By the way, when I see a beggar coming forward to ask for a reward, I will go up and say a few nice words to him.

Regardless of whether the host will give money or not, for beggars, the most common gifts are white flour buns or big dumplings.

Although there is a shortage of big buns and steamed buns in my space, no one is complaining about the lack of food at this time, right?

After just half a day's work, there must be at least a dozen of them!

As for money, there was none at all. I don’t know if it was because I came out too late or if they didn’t give me any money.

But no matter what, it's better to have food than nothing.

Seeing that it was getting late, he hurriedly left the city. While the weather was warm at noon, he decided to go collect some dry firewood.

Since you promised to deliver firewood, you must keep your word.

Besides, since you plan to use this method to survive in Beijing temporarily, you have to act like a firewood seller.

Let’s go back and pick up some more firewood!

But I can't delay other people's livelihoods. Another thing is to take advantage of this period of time to sell firewood, and then go around the city more to see if I can find other work?

Fortunately, the place where I live temporarily has a lot of empty space, so most people won’t notice it. But I can’t put too many things in it. After all, it’s not my home. What if it gets robbed?

If there is not much space, you can actually put it in the space.

It has been two months since I came to Beijing. In order not to attract other people's attention, I try to avoid making fire and cooking during the day.

Even if they made a fire, they would only boil some water to drink, and the most common thing they ate was the food in the space.

I was afraid of being discovered. It's not easy to be alone outside.

Fortunately, in the past two months, I have consumed some food in the space, so there is not much space left inside. I am afraid it is impossible to put more firewood in it.

But putting one or two bundles in is not a difficult task!

It is said that since I found the job, except for delivering firewood for two consecutive days on the first and second days of the New Year, I did not do any work on the third day.

There is no way. Today is a very important day. The garrison outside is about to enter the city. How can we miss this important event?

He was not doing any work, just standing not far away, stopping there to watch with the crowd.

If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have been able to feel the overwhelming emotion just by reading the books I read before.

Throughout the whole day, that thought never calmed down.

But on the next day, which was the fourth day of the New Year, everyone continued to live their lives as usual.

I don’t know how other people are doing, but every day I’m either collecting firewood or thereabouts.

There is one thing, since the troops entered the city, I no longer wander around the city like before.

The truth is that I am just a law-abiding citizen, unlike those beggars who are so unscrupulous and do whatever they want.

In fact, the most important thing is nothing, but because I am alone now and really don’t want to attract other people’s attention?

In order not to cause trouble, and to avoid having trouble find you, it is better not to cause trouble.

In this way, except for going into the city to deliver dry firewood to Uncle Cheng's house every day, he rarely stayed in the city for too long.

I'm afraid of being targeted by some people with bad intentions. Even though the troops have entered the city, Beijing is not stable at this time.

Although I know a little bit of self-defense skills, to be honest, if there are more people around, I won't be able to defeat four people with just my two fists, right?

Moreover, with the influx of public officials, the management of some aspects of Beijing has become increasingly strict.

From time to time, I see people conducting household surveys. Well, since they are planning to establish their capital here, don’t they have to do some things in advance?

It was because of this incident that I happened to meet two comrades when I was delivering firewood to Uncle Cheng's house.

Seeing that there were guests at Uncle Cheng's house, I was planning to put down the firewood and leave, but then I heard Uncle Cheng say.

“Xing girl, don’t leave yet. Two comrades are coming over today and want to know more about the situation.

You just happened to be here, so they don't have to look for you everywhere. Can you tell them about your situation?"

"this?"

"Girl, don't be afraid, they are all good people, they won't do anything to you."

"Uncle, I know they are all good people, but, but I am afraid that they will come back and send me away, what should I do?

I have hands and feet and can support myself!

I won’t cause trouble to others?”

"Little comrade, you don't need to worry so much. We just want to understand your situation. We have no intention of sending you away."

"really?"

"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can ask Mr. Cheng to testify for you, how about that?"

"Yes, with an old man like me to testify for you, what are you afraid of?

Come on, we have our hands and feet and we can support ourselves with our own abilities, right? "

"Okay! Actually, even if you send me away, there's nothing I can do about it?"

"Hi!

Look at what you are saying, kid. "

"That's right, if our bun shop didn't have you delivering dry firewood every day, I don't know if it would be able to operate."

"Auntie, you don't have to say that. I know you two have been taking care of me. Otherwise, why would you let me deliver firewood when there are so many people selling it?"

"Look at you kid..."

"Okay, old lady, we can talk later. Let the two comrades ask about the girl first, and we can talk about other things later."

"Yes, by the way, girl, this man's name is Zhou Xingkai, you can just call him Comrade Zhou.

This female comrade is called Du Ying, you can just call her Comrade Du.

Comrade Zhou, Comrade Du, she is the Wang Wenxing I mentioned, the Xing girl, this child is the poor person.

Come, girl, call someone."

"Hello, Comrade Zhou, Hello, Comrade Du."

"Hello."

"Hello, your name is Wang Wenxing?"

"Yes, my name is Wang Wenxing!"

"Don't be nervous, little comrade, what's your situation?

We have also done some research here at Uncle Cheng, but there are still some things we don’t understand clearly, and I hope you can tell us the truth.”

"Oh!

That’s no problem, I will tell you everything I know.”

"That's good. I wonder what year you were born?"

"I was born on July 1937, 7 in the lunar calendar."
