After everyone in the family left, Yang Zhenxing saw his grandfather turn around and go back to the east room where he lived. He closed the door and wondered what he was doing inside.

He also heard what the director of the Municipal Federation of Industry and Commerce said about the "Chinese time-honored brand" revitalization plan.

Grandpa has always hoped that the family's time-honored store will be reopened. I don't know why this time people came to the door and offered to help, but Grandpa refused.

Not understanding the key, Yang Zhenxing didn't think much about it, quickly put the matter behind him, and continued to stretch his body in the yard.

After several years of nourishment, the good things Yang Xingsheng bought with gritted teeth have seen results.

Yang Zhenxing, who was originally thin and small with a dull face, gradually caught up with other normal children in physical condition.

Take He Shangchao as an example. When we first met Yang Zhenxing, he was almost a head shorter than him. Now, when they stand next to each other, there is basically no big difference.

The only pity is that for some reason, even though his body is gradually getting better, his head is still as big as when he was a child.

Yang Yuting, who has also been taking care of her for the past year, her face is no longer dark, and has also changed little by little. Her hair, which was originally dry and sparse, can now be tied into nice braids.

I have to say something here.

There are only two eldest men in the Yang family now, and no one knows how to tie their hair. Yang Yuting's hair was helped by He Shangchao's sister He Xiuxian who got up early every morning and stood at the door waiting to go to school when she passed by.

Even the headband and hairpins were given to her by the other party.

Now Yang Yuting is He Xiuxian's number one follower, and Yang Zhenxing has become He Xiuxian's backup after school.

After lunch, grandpa continued to pick up goldfish in the tank in the yard, while Yang Zhenxing spread out paper on the small table in the yard to practice calligraphy.

When he was a child, he had the habit of taking naps, but as he grew older and developed physically, he became more energetic. If he slept at noon, he would sometimes be unable to sleep at night.

In order to polish his temperament, Yang Xingsheng asked him to practice calligraphy for two hours starting this year during his nap time.

Moreover, we still practice in the winter and in the summer when the weather is windy and rainy, day after day.

The snow in the yard had not yet dissipated, and the small wind blew Yang Zhenxing's little hands red, and the pen was trembling and he could not hold it, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, practicing according to his grandfather's requirements.

When you feel like you can't hold it any longer, stop and rub your hands to warm your fingers.

The weather has become very strange in the past two years. It can be said that winter is getting warmer every year.

During the first few years of Chinese New Year, everyone was wrapped up in three layers, like rice dumplings. Without gloves on their hands, they could even peel off the skin if they grabbed iron objects.

But if you wear two less clothes now, you won't feel too cold in winter. At most, you still need to be fully equipped for three to nine days.

I heard Grandpa He say that this is a sign of hunger.

Yang Zhenxing didn't know what caused hunger to make winter less cold. He thought about asking Liu Jianye if he felt any heat on his body when he was hungry.

After the New Year, factories began to open one after another, and Yang Xingsheng once again pedaled his three-wheeled bicycle and went out to find work.

It’s still early for the spring vegetables to go on sale, and everyone’s food for the winter hasn’t been finished yet, so there’s no need to go out early in the morning to sell vegetables.

The adults in the family went to work, and the children immediately started playing with no one to take care of them.

The same is true for He Shangchao and Li Guoqing.

It turns out that their grandfathers were still looking after them at home, but now both of their grandfathers have been reemployed. After the New Year, they often leave home to go to work and have meetings. Naturally, the two of them can't wait to go out and play.

There are only a few days until school starts, and they want to take advantage of the last vacation time to have a good time.

On this day, two people came to Yang Zhenxing to play again.

They sent Yang Yuting to He Xiuxian and asked them to take the little girl to dance rubber bands. The three children went to the Hutongkou Food Store to buy something to eat with the pennies they were forced to exchange for the New Year money from adults.

We were walking towards the alley entrance chatting and laughing, but we bumped into Sun Wen's group of children on the way.

When those children saw He Shangchao and Li Guoqing, they didn't dare to offend them, but they had no scruples about Yang Zhenxing.

No need for Sun Wen to say, a group of children behind him immediately started singing.

"So-and-so's head looks like a balloon, with mountains, water, and rivers!"

"The big head is big, the big head is big, everyone has the big head down. If you don't believe it, ask your female horse, your female horse also has the big head down!"

"Ben'er Tou, Ben'er Tou, don't worry if it rains, others have umbrellas, you have Ben'er Tou!"

"Hahaha, why are you talking like that? I don't have a mother, so who are you asking me to go home to?"

"Ask his dad. By the way, his dad made him so angry that he doesn't have a dad either!"

Although he didn't name him by name, it was clear that he was targeting Yang Zhenxing.

The three of them stopped, and He Shangchao stood up, pointed at Sun Wen, who had been silent, and said, "Let them speak more honestly!"

Sun Wen spread his hands and replied nonchalantly: "I didn't ask them to talk. They have mouths. They can talk whatever they like. How can I not let others talk?"

This sentence left He Shangchao speechless.

For the children in the alley, no matter whether it is He Shangchao or Sun Wen, they are untouchable because they all live in the government compound.

Different from those military compounds in Xicheng, a separate compound is built and outsiders are not allowed to enter. The dormitories of many ministries and commissions are in alleys.

For example, there are many courtyards in Sanjo and Sijo that are dormitories of the Ministry of Culture, and there are also dormitories of the Ministry of Light Industry in Liujo.

The families of these people, whether in terms of power status or family conditions, are definitely better than other ordinary working-class families in the alleys.

Not only are the adults in the family telling them not to mess with people in those places, but also the toys or snacks brought out by the children in the big courtyard are also very coveted by the children of these ordinary families.

In order to get some snacks or play with those things, children from ordinary families naturally gathered around these children and were willing to be their followers.

At first, everyone wanted to gather around people like He Shangchao, Li Guoqing, and others.

However, since everyone was at different levels, the other party ignored them at all, so they had to settle for the next best thing and gather around children like Sun Wen who lived in the dormitory courtyard of ordinary staff members.

After seeing He Shangchao and others not playing with them, they took the initiative to follow Yang Zhenxing, an 'outsider'.

Other children will definitely not feel comfortable or encouraged.

Usually Yang Zhenxing just hides at home and doesn't go out, so they can't see anyone easily. Now that they have a rare chance to see each other, they won't let this opportunity pass by.

What's more, people like Sun Wen and Yang Zhenxing are still at odds with each other. As long as Sun Wen can stand up to He Shangchao and the others, these children will not be afraid of settling the scores later.

The two groups were in a stalemate. Seeing that He Shangchao and the others were losing their temper, the other children started laughing and joking unscrupulously again.

Unexpectedly, before He Shangchao could say anything to stop him, a shadow suddenly appeared from beside him.

After a gust of wind, I heard an earth-shattering howl. I looked closely and saw that the child I mentioned was the happiest child was already lying on the ground crying and rolling.

The other children glanced at their rolling partners on the ground in surprise, and then all looked up at the culprit Yang Zhenxing, their eyes becoming horrified.

Yang Zhenxing raised his arms and shook his shoulder joints, stared at the children, and said fiercely:
Chapter completed!
