Of course, the secret of secretly feeding Ai Gaofeng a big steamed bun with braised beef and holding a "birthday party" for Huang Anping in the solitary confinement room must not be leaked and must be buried deep in my heart.

It will not be too late to make it public when the clouds clear and the moon appears in the future.

Although the breeding journey has just begun and is far from being fruitful, the atmosphere in the cadre school reform area is quietly changing, and everyone suddenly feels hopeful.

No one knows yet when the policy will be implemented and the official will be reinstated and able to return to the city.

But by the end of the year, everyone can eat meat, which is a real vision that can be achieved.

After being forced to work in the cadre school for such a long time, everyone's spirit and energy have been worn out and their expectations for life have become extremely low. As long as they can have a delicious meal of braised rabbit meat, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

So what is Comrade Liu Hongyi, the "instigator" of all this, doing?

He is implementing his "meat-eating plan" in advance.

In his previous life, Liu Hongyi was certainly not a corrupt official, but he never had to worry about food and clothing.

Coming to this era, he suddenly realized that eating meat had become a luxury. His parents were both cadres, and compared to ordinary people, they had a stable income. Before he was sent to the cadre school, the family could eat meat every now and then to satisfy their cravings.

Of course, except for the Chinese New Year, it is rare to eat meat to your heart's content.

There are simply not enough meat tickets.

It's a productivity issue!

Huang Anping's recent "birthday party" had completely consumed all the meat coupons Liu Chuan and Xiao Yawen had saved. If they wanted to eat meat again, they would have to wait until next month for the meat coupons to be issued.

Liu Hongyi thought of a solution.

He is making a "clamp".

It's not an animal trap, it's a "bird trap".

The raw materials are simple: a few sticks, some iron wires, a few old springs, and two discarded nylon meshes.

Liu Hongyi used pliers to make two simple bird traps with these materials.

Ai Xiaoyu watched with great interest and asked curiously, "Liu Hongyi, what is this used for?"

After a few days of treatment and drinking fish soup every day, the little girl has recovered well.

One has to admire the tenacity of vitality in difficult times.

"Catch the bird."

Liu Hongyi said with a smile.

"Catching sparrows?"

In Ai Xiaoyu's understanding, birds are mainly sparrows. After all, it is one of the "Four Pests" and the most famous.

In fact, after the vigorous "Four Pests" campaign (Note 1) a few years ago, the number of sparrows dropped sharply and it took many years to recover.

"Sparrows are too small and don't have much meat."

"I scouted the area a while ago and found some pheasants and turtledoves in the forest ahead. They're quite fat. Let's try our luck. If we're lucky, we might be able to catch one or two and improve our food supply."

“Does this thing work?”

Ai Xiaoyu was a little skeptical.

"Let's give it a try. I'm free anyway..."

Note 1: The 1958 campaign to eradicate the four pests, which were rats, sparrows, flies, and mosquitoes, was redefined in 1960 as rats, bedbugs, flies, and mosquitoes.

Ai Xiaoyu didn't object either.

She also felt a little bored during this period, staying in her little room reading books every day. After a long time, even the best student would get tired.

It really makes people happy to go out and "play" with Liu Hongyi.

What does it matter if we can’t catch pheasants and turtledoves?

It’s nice to just treat it as an outing.

Yanggou Cadre School is located in a remote area, surrounded by high mountains, dense forests and numerous rivers and ditches.

To reach the location Liu Hongyi mentioned, they had to wade through three small rivers. Seeing that they had reached the river, Ai Xiaoyu bent down and began to take off her shoes. Liu Hongyi handed her the bird net and bait and said, "You haven't fully recovered yet, so don't go into the cold water. I'll carry you across."

Ai Xiaoyu's pretty face turned slightly red. She looked around and saw that it was quiet nearby and there was no one else around. She nodded slightly and said "hmm".

Liu Hongyi then walked in front of Ai Xiaoyu, bent his knees slightly, and put his hands behind his back.
