Chapter 112
This year, Zheng Hu did not return to his hometown to pay New Year's greetings. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, he went back to work in the south with Lin Sheng and Zheng Congwu.For Zhang Tao, it doesn't really matter whether Zheng Hu goes to work in the south now, because his family's conditions don't require him to go to work in the south at all.

But I don't know what the two couples talked about in private. Zhang Tao's mother actually supported her husband to stay in the south for a few more years, which made Zhang Tao feel very puzzled.It's just that he couldn't intervene in this area, so he resolutely kept silent, otherwise he would be punished.

Both the husband and wife have no opinion, so why do you care about this kind of thing?At this time, the distance can still produce beauty, and the relationship between husband and wife can still stand the test of time and distance.After a few years later, the distance will only make the distance further, and the beauty is no longer visible, and it is covered up by the beauty.

Zhang Tao, Zhang Yong, and Zhao Lin all started school on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, making up classes in advance, and the official start of the school was actually after the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.The three of them faced the entrance examination after the Chinese New Year, which was a critical period. Naturally, their study tasks were more intense, and the teachers were also nervously staring at the graduating class.

Not long after the school officially started, Zhang Tao was tutoring Zhao Lin with homework. Neither of them lived on campus, so they were doing homework together at night.At this time, Zhang Yan mysteriously took out a folded piece of newspaper wrapped in a small handkerchief from his close-fitting pocket, "Second brother, look! I have a lot of silkworm babies."

Hearing the sound, Zhang Tao glanced at Zhang Yan, who was holding the things carefully, and looked like he was looking at a baby, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help jumping up, "You are still a silkworm egg, and it hasn't hatched yet, how can you be called a silkworm baby. But how much did you pay for these silkworm eggs?"

It makes sense for him to ask such a question. People in Huangpu Village do not have the custom of raising silkworms on a large scale, and they are usually raised by children for fun.And when Zhang Tao was still studying in the village primary school, there were children in his school who were self-reliant and earn money early in order to earn change for Huahuadan snacks.

I don't know where they find silkworm eggs to sell, counting from the number of hairs, and some sell hatched silkworm eggs, according to the size of the hair.Silkworm eggs are much cheaper, and there are many silkworm eggs that cannot be hatched. Those who don't know will be fooled.

Generally speaking, small silkworms are better than silkworm eggs. In addition to the fact that silkworm eggs cannot hatch, it takes time to hatch, and the hatched small silkworms are a small black silkworm that is easily overlooked and prone to problems.Especially for children raising these, if the hands and feet are slightly stressed, those little silkworms will die.

But children don't understand this, they prefer silkworm eggs.The children who get the silkworm eggs will be very precious. In order to hatch the silkworms as soon as possible, they will keep the silkworm eggs close to their bodies as Zhang Yan does now, and wait for the silkworm eggs to hatch as soon as possible by the body temperature.

What they seem to like is the incubation process, and they don't care so much about others.The close-fitting silkworm eggs have to be watched several times a day, always paying attention to the hatching of the silkworm eggs, and always worrying about those silkworm eggs hatching.

However, at this time the mulberry trees have not yet germinated, and the silkworms have no mulberry leaves to eat after hatching.At this time, they will pick the leaves of a vegetable for the silkworms to eat. Many young silkworms will die early because they are fed messy things at this time, and they will not survive the time when there are mulberry leaves.

"I didn't ask for money. My deskmate gave it to me. Her brother has raised a lot." Zhang Yan looked a little smug. Considering her prestige at school, no one would dare to ask her for money.Zhang Tao's arrogance is still circulating in that elementary school, especially the teachers in the school sometimes use Zhang Tao's grades to educate other students, it's hard for those children to remember.

If this angered Zhang Yan, Zhang Tao might come back to trouble them.That's a legend in this school, one person can kill a big wild boar.In addition, Zhang Yan is beautiful and has good grades. He is very popular in school and has many friends.

"Oh, then don't hatch the silkworm eggs. You can put them next to your body and it will be easy to hatch. At this time, the mulberry trees have not sprouted yet, and there is nothing to feed them when they hatch. They will starve to death." Zhang Tao Seeing that my sister was not cheated into buying it with money, I felt relieved, and reminded my sister rarely.

He had raised silkworms in his previous life, so he has some experience in these things. In this life, he doesn't even bother to look at silkworm raising, it's quite boring!Raising a few is a child's trick, it's no fun, and you have to take care of them until they spin silk, and you can't make much money, and you don't have that kind of thought about raising Zhang Tao in batches.

There are mulberry trees in the vegetable garden behind the old house of Zhang Tao’s house, two of which are quite large. It is true that they have not sprouted at this time, and there are only buds.Speaking of mulberry trees is also quite strange. There are two mulberry trees in Zhang Tao's house, one can bear mulberries, but the other can't.

The older generation in the bay said it was a male and a female. Zhang Tao didn't know much about plants, so he just believed it.One male and one female are one male and one female, and it would be nice to just make a pair.Anyway, there is a mulberry tree in my home that can bear mulberry, so I can pick it and eat it if I have nothing to do.

But when it comes to mulberries, Zhang Tao always feels a little unnatural. Although the taste of the stuff is not bad, it is sweet and sour.But after eating, the mouth is black, and the tongue is also black, which is too ugly. This is not a good memory for a child who does not have a good taste.

"Oh." After hearing Zhang Tao's words, Zhang Yan responded, and then took out the small piece of newspaper, put it in a cardboard box and put it in the study.Zhang Tao took a closer look, and was relieved when he saw that the silkworm eggs showed no signs of hatching. It is estimated that they would not hatch so quickly in the study in this weather.

This inspection is necessary. If there are traces of hatching of those silkworm eggs, it is useless to put them at this time, and those silkworm eggs will still hatch by themselves.Zhang Tao remembers that in his previous life, there was a guy in his class who was like this, randomly throwing silkworm eggs in a cardboard box, and then forgot.

It took a while to remember, and then I opened the paper box to see that all the little silkworms had hatched, but they had nothing to eat, and they all starved to death.They were left dry in the box, and all of them flew away when the wind blew. When the child opened the carton and saw that all the things he had spent a few cents were gone, he burst into tears.

Another reason is that Zhang Tao wants to check whether these silkworm eggs can hatch, and the color of the silkworm eggs can tell whether they can hatch.This Zhang Tao has experience, and it is a lesson learned by his friends in his previous life after sacrificing a few cents.

Although Zhang Tao has no interest in raising silkworms, he is still willing to teach his sister to raise silkworms when he sees that his sister has raised them.He raised several batches of silkworms in his previous life, so he still has a little experience.This thing can be regarded as a good memory for an elementary school student's childhood, so naturally Zhang Tao will not kill it.

After a while, the two mulberry trees at home began to grow leaves, and Zhang Tao asked Zhang Yan to take out the silkworm eggs to hatch.The slapped newspaper was densely covered with silkworm eggs. It is estimated that there are more than a hundred of them. At this time, they have turned blue, and they are probably about to hatch.

Seeing that her second brother asked her to hatch the silkworm eggs, Zhang Yan immediately wrapped them in a small handkerchief and put them in her arms. Zhang Tao gently slapped her on the shoulder. "Don't be so troublesome, just give it to me, and I will help you hatch the little silkworm in two days."

Zhang Tao put those silkworm eggs in a cardboard box, then found a warm place to put them down, and the rest was to wait with peace of mind.At this time, the weather has gradually warmed up, and the place where they were stored was warm. After a week or so, those silkworm eggs began to hatch one by one, and the small black ones, like caterpillars, were very ugly.

Zhang Tao told Zhang Yan to carefully put all the small silkworms on the prepared tender mulberry leaves, and the rest was to change the mulberry leaves for those small silkworms regularly.There is no need for Zhang Tao to worry about this kind of thing. Zhao Lin will help Zhang Yan from time to time. This girl was raised by her family before.

In fact, Zhang Tao didn't have much time at this time, and he was very nervous about his studies, so the teacher added extra classes when he had nothing to do.After a period of time in the new semester, the students in their top class will go to participate in a city-wide language math league. The students in the two top classes will also go, and the place is at Chengbei Primary School.

In his previous life, Zhang Tao also took part in this exam, but at that time he was motion sick, and the school bus shook him so weak that he almost vomited out his intestines.The whole person has been dizzy all the time, and he has no energy to do anything.

When he lived in the hostel in the city, he didn’t have a good rest because of the noisy people next door. In that exam, he was sick and tired, but he barely passed and won a third prize in the city. Small honor now.

You must know that their two top classes together only have one second prize, five third prizes, and Zhang Tao's results are still ahead of the third prize sequence.

The second exam was also in the city, but it was in the city's No. [-] Middle School. This exam was an entrance exam for key junior high schools.Zhang Tao still fainted because of motion sickness, but he was not so lucky this time, and fell out of the ranking by one point.

In fact, this is not a big deal, because he won the third prize in the league. At that time, the admissions teacher of the No. [-] Middle School promised to go directly to the No. [-] Middle School, but the No. [-] Middle School later repented, and Zhang Tao did not go.

At that time, Zhang Tao's head teacher rushed to the No. 400 Middle School to reason. After talking several times, the No. [-] Middle School finally let go and agreed that Zhang Tao's family would be able to make an exception for admission if Zhang Tao's family paid an extra [-] yuan. More than a thousand.

However, Zhang Tao still couldn't go. The 400 yuan was already his tuition fee for one semester. His family had prepared such a small amount of money. How about other money to pay Zhang Tao's sponsorship fee?
