Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

He had just put the dishes on the table when Xu Damao came in carrying plates and a bottle of wine.

The plate contains pieces of roasted chicken.

Watching Xu Damao place the plate on the table, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Brother Mao, just by the smell, I know it's good!"

“Xiaoshan, you have a keen nose! This is authentic Daokou roast chicken, from a shop that opened in Beijing before the liberation.” Xu Damao pulled up a stool and sat down. “Xiaoshan, I’m not drinking your wine today, I can’t keep taking advantage of you! Today I’m drinking my Tongzhou Laojiao.”

Watching Xu Damao start pouring the wine, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "It has to be Brother Mao, he can even find this kind of wine!"

"I got this from my dad."

With that, Xu Damao pushed the glass of wine he had poured towards Xiao Shan: "Here, have a taste!"

Xiao Shan picked up his glass, took a sip, and nodded: "Hmm, it's really good, quite potent!"

After saying that, Xiao Shan picked up another piece of chicken and tasted it: "This chicken is also good. It tastes completely different from stewed chicken."

Xu Damao picked up a dumpling and popped it into his mouth, somewhat surprised: "Chicken and cabbage filling? Xiaoshan, you're really creative!"

"Brother Mao, you're joking! This is chicken and duck stewed on New Year's Eve. There's still half left, so I made dumplings this morning," Xiao Shan explained with a smile.

Xu Damao nodded: "It tastes good. I never thought dumplings could be wrapped like this! It's a completely different flavor from pork dumplings."

The two drank wine and ate food, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

After chatting about all sorts of things, the two started talking about Xu Damao's future wife, Lou Xiao'e.

"Brother Mao, Lou Xiao'e is a capitalist's daughter, she shouldn't lack suitors, how did you manage to win her over?"

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's question, Xu Damao's face lit up with a smug smile: "Xiao Shan, you don't know this! Nowadays, families like the Lou family value keeping a low profile. In the past, they might have valued matching social status, but now marrying someone from the working class like me is the best outcome for her!"

“Xiaoshan, times have changed! In the past, our family could only serve as servants to the Lou family, but now they have to keep their tails between their legs, while we workers have become the masters!”

Xiao Shan gave Xu Damao a thumbs up. This guy still understood the situation: "Brother Mao is right. When are you planning to get married? I'm looking forward to drinking Brother Mao's wedding wine!"

"It'll be soon, probably in the first half of this year!" Xu Damao said without hesitation.

The two chatted for about half an hour, until Xu Damao, unable to hold his liquor, collapsed onto the table.

"Cough, you drink quite a bit usually, so how come your alcohol tolerance is still so low!" Looking at the unconscious Xu Damao, Xiao Shan couldn't help but shake his head.

After helping Xu Damao home, Xiao Shan tidied up and went straight to sleep.

Time passed gradually in this peaceful life.

Time quickly passed to June 1959.

During this period, people were filled with anxiety, and news of reduced grain production had been spreading everywhere.

The harvest has begun in many parts of the south, but the results are not satisfactory.

Grain prices in the pigeon market have risen, but the increase is not significant yet and the fluctuations are not substantial.

Many people thought it was just a small fluctuation, and no one expected that this fluctuation would last for three years.

Even the capital city of Beijing felt the food shortage, let alone the rural areas.

Compared to the peaceful life in Xiaoshan, the lives of the other members of the chat group were much more eventful.

In the world of Swordsman, the business of the New Fortune Escort Agency had spread almost throughout the entire northern region of the Ming Dynasty, creating a great deal of wealth for Yue Buqun.

With this wealth, the Huashan Sect can be said to have flourished.

However, the Five Mountains Sword Sects are all of the same ilk.

Now that your Huashan Sect stands out from the crowd, other sects will naturally want to learn from you and see how you became so powerful.

Besides wanting to know how powerful the Huashan Sect became, Zuo Lengchan, as the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, also wanted to suppress the Huashan Sect's momentum!

Because the development of the Huashan Sect was not conducive to Zuo Lengchan's idea of ​​unifying the Five Sacred Mountains.

Therefore, in order to deal with Zuo Lengchan, Yue Buqun was prepared to fight him.

In the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Zhang Cuishan's family has descended the mountain to the Eagle Sect, intending to use the Eagle Sect's power to integrate the Ming Cult.

Moreover, during this period, Yin Liting and Ji Xiaofu's relationship was also rapidly developing, and it was estimated that they would soon be discussing marriage.

In the world of Chu-Han Legend, with the promotion of high-yield potatoes, the people of the former six states gradually began to abandon their hostility towards Qin and began to accept Qin's rule.

This situation was naturally not something the remaining forces of the six kingdoms wanted to see.

Therefore, in order to disrupt the development of the Qin state, the remaining forces of these six states began to unite and plot to assassinate Ying Zheng!

In the eyes of these remaining forces of the six states, as long as Ying Zheng died, the entire Qin state would be paralyzed, and their opportunity would come!

However, what these remaining forces of the six kingdoms did not expect was that their plan would soon be delivered to Ying Zheng by intelligence agents from the Black Ice Guard.

After reviewing the plans of the remaining forces of the six states, Ying Zheng, after discussing with his ministers, decided to devise a plan to turn the tables and wipe out the remaining forces of the six states in one fell swoop!

In the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, after returning from Zhang Chulan's world, Yan Chixia began to cultivate diligently in preparation for dealing with the powerful demons and monsters that would appear in future videos.

In the mortal world, Han Li was still diligently cultivating at the Seven Mysteries Sect.

In the world of Mr. Zombie, although Ren Weiyong has successfully advanced to become a jumping zombie, he still cannot get out of the coffin.

The only thing they could do was obediently continue absorbing the yin energy inside the coffin.

Moreover, after watching the video of his future, Ren Weiyong had no intention of going out on his own.

After all, in the future video, he had already been promoted to a hairy corpse, but he was still no match for Uncle Nine.

Going out now is just like delivering groceries!

Ren Weiyong only hoped that he could advance to the Iron Armor Corpse, or even the Silver Armor Corpse, before Uncle Jiu opened his coffin, so that he would have the power to fight against Uncle Jiu.

In the world of Under One Person, Zhang Chulan has left Longhu Mountain and gone to the Liu family in Xiangxi with Liu Yanyan.

Liu Yanyan's parents were quite satisfied with Zhang Chulan.

Finally, there is the human world.

Zhou Bingkun has received a reply from Zhou Zhigang.

Just as Zhou Bingkun had predicted, Zhou Zhigang indeed disagreed with his relationship with Zheng Juan.

So Zhou Bingkun followed Han Li's suggestion and wrote a letter himself, replacing Zhou Zhigang's reply.

Then he read the letter he had written to his mother, Li Suhua.

When Li Suhua heard that Zhou Zhigang had agreed to the relationship between Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan, she naturally did not believe it.

She knows her own man's personality all too well!

It's absolutely impossible for me to agree to Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan's relationship.

So she felt that Zhou Bingkun was lying to her.

However, she herself was illiterate, so she could only leave the letter behind and secretly find someone she trusted to help her read it.

When Li Suhua learned that Zhou Bingkun had indeed not lied to her and that that was exactly what was written in the letter, she stopped trying to stop Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan from getting together.

So Zhou Bingkun started bringing Zheng Juan to his home every few days, so that she could spend more time with his mother!

Although Xiao Shan didn't have to worry about food shortages, seeing everyone else in the courtyard starting to panic because of the food shortages, he couldn't help but feel a little worried from time to time in order to fit in.

That day, Xiao Shan was on his way home from get off work and had just finished dinner when he heard someone knocking on the door.

Upon opening the door, Xiao Shan discovered that it was Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang.

"Guangtian, Jiefang, what brings you two here? Is there something you need?" Xiao Shan asked the two of them with some curiosity.

"Xiao Shan, food is scarce right now. We'd like to ask you to go outside the city this weekend and see if we can get some wild game!" Liu Guangtian said to Xiao Shan.

Liu Guangtian already had a low status at home, and now that food is scarce, even though the ration hasn't been reduced, the price of pigeons has gone up, so Liu Guangtian must be having a hard time at home.

Not to mention Yan Jiejiu, given his father's stinginess, he's probably thinking about reducing the amount of food they consume each day.

So in order to eat more, the two of them had to find their own way!

After some research, they decided to go outside the city to see if they could get some wild game.

However, they had never hunted wild game outside the city before, so they planned to invite Xiaoshan to join them.

After all, last winter, many people in the courtyard saw Xiaoshan bring back wild ducks from a lake outside the city.

They must have some skills in catching wild game!

After hearing their words, Xiao Shan said with a serious expression, "Food is scarce everywhere right now, and there might not be any wild game left outside the city! But I can go with you to take a look this weekend!"

Xiao Shan was well aware that food was in short supply, and people in both the city and the surrounding rural areas were thinking of using wild game to supplement their income.

There probably aren't any wild game left outside the city for Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang to go around and wreak havoc on!

“Okay, we’ll come see you again this weekend!” Yan Jiefang nodded.

The weekend arrived quickly, and Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang came to Xiaoshan early in the morning.

Fortunately, Xiaoshan got up relatively early and had already finished breakfast by this time.

Looking at the two men holding tools, Xiao Shan said, "We're just going to check out the situation today, there's no need to bring tools!"

"If there's any wild game, you two should bring everything you need before you go tomorrow; if not, it'll save you from carrying so much stuff!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang felt that Xiao Shan's words made sense, so they decided to put the things back at home first.

Liu Guangtian's house is in the backyard, so you can just put your things back there.

If it's Yan Jiefang, then you'll have to carry it a few more steps to the front yard.

The three of them happened to run into Qin Huairu when they passed by the Intermediate People's Court.

Looking at the three of them, Qin Huairu asked curiously, "Xiaoshan, where are you all headed?"

"Sister-in-law, let's go out of the city and check the situation," Xiao Shan said with a smile.

Qin Huairu's gaze fell on the tools in Yan Jiefang's hands, and she roughly understood what they were doing outside the city.

Qin Huairu walked quickly a few steps to the three of them and whispered, "It's not easy to catch wild animals outside the city now. Many places don't allow outsiders to set traps. If they see one, they'll just pull it out and throw it away. Things aren't easy in the countryside now. My dad said that their grain harvest is probably going to be reduced this year."

The harvest season in the north is later than in the south, so many places in the north have not yet harvested their grain.

However, experienced farmers can judge the quality of the harvest based on the growth of the wheat.

Xiao Shan nodded: "Thank you for reminding us, sister-in-law! We're just going to take a look today. We'll leave the things at home after Liberation; we won't take them out!"

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang both looked rather grim; it seemed their plan to hunt some wild game wouldn't be so easy!

Upon arriving at the front yard, Yan Jiefang put the tools back inside.

The three of them left the city empty-handed.

As we drove along, everything seemed normal on the roads and in the fields.

So the three of them headed towards a more remote place where wild game might be found.

They hadn't gone far when they saw a group of people carrying their prey back.

As they walked, they set up various traps on the ground.

Upon seeing Xiao Shan and his two companions, the middle-aged man leading the group shouted, "Young men, don't go that way! We've set traps there. There are even pits specifically for catching wild boars. If you fall in, we won't be responsible!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang wanted to ask for clarification.

Xiao Shan tugged at the two men, telling them to shut up.

With their intelligence, people can tell what these two do the moment they open their mouths!

These people won't give them a friendly look then.

Seeing the approaching group, Xiao Shan took out a Daqianmen cigarette and handed one to the middle-aged man who had just spoken to them.

"Daqianmen cigarettes? We country folk can't afford this. You're not from the village, are you?" The middle-aged man took the cigarette, glanced at it, and said to Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Uncle, you have a good eye! The three of us are all students, and we came to the outskirts of the city to take a look during our weekend break!"

"Uncle, I don't remember there being this many hunters before! Has food become this scarce now?"

The middle-aged man sighed: "This year's drought means a reduced harvest is imminent! Hunting some wild game will at least reduce our grain intake and prevent us from going hungry."

Xiao Shan lit a cigarette for the middle-aged man: "The situation is indeed not optimistic! Uncle, I saw you digging traps to catch wild boars. Is the hunting area divided into sections or something? If people from other villages come over, wouldn't it be very dangerous for them to fall into the traps?"

“Who would come here for no reason? The hunting areas have been designated by the commune. People from other villages won’t come here, so they won’t fall into the traps!” The middle-aged man said after taking a puff of his cigarette. “Besides, we have people specifically watching over the large traps. Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang were already in despair.
