Reborn Country Overlord

Chapter 35 Catching the Eel

After contracting the reservoir, Zhang Tao discussed with his mother how to renovate the side of the reservoir. At this time, the water in the reservoir has increased a lot because of the sufficient rainwater during this period. It is not appropriate to divide the reservoir into several parts now, and It is also easy for other people to find out.

So they didn't plan to use the reservoir, but planned to use the surrounding wasteland, barren mountains, and some paddy fields. Zhang Tao's opinion was to build a shed to raise chickens, raise pigs, and plant fruit trees, and then the family moved there to live.

This is Zhang Tao's opinion. There are also ready-made shed builders. Zhang Tao's little uncle is a big worker nearby who specializes in building houses for people.

Zhang Cuihua was also very tempted by Zhang Tao's suggestion, but before deciding, she still wrote a registered letter to Zhang Tao's father, explaining the situation of her family contracting the reservoir.Zheng Hu quickly wrote back. He was working in the south and had seen the farming industry there.

He was very supportive of Zhang Cuihua's decision, and he also shared some of his own suggestions and ideas. In the end, he told Zhang Cuihua that his job in Shenzhen City was well paid, with a salary increase of [-], and now it is [-] a month.

After becoming a full-time employee, the salary will be higher, and she should be able to get [-] at that time. Let Zhang Cuihua not worry about the money, just let it go, and don't get tired and treat yourself and the children badly.

Zhang Cuihua was in a particularly good mood after receiving this letter, and she was smiling all over her face for several days.The increase in Zheng Hu's salary means that his family's income will also increase in the future, and their family has saved a small amount of money for the New Year, so the family's finances will not be strained to deal with these things.

Half a month passed after the two of them communicated back and forth, and Zhang Tao's life in school was still uneventful. Talk to him, let him do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't make trouble in class and school.

However, what these teachers didn't expect was that although Zhang Tao didn't make any moves, the atmosphere in Zhang Tao's class changed a lot. The relationship between the students became much better and they became more united.

What's more important is that when those students come to Zhang Tao with questions they don't understand in their studies, Zhang Tao never refuses, it's the same for men and women.This made the learning atmosphere in the class a lot better, and the students' grades were changing in an invisible way.

At this time, Zhang Tao finally found the guy who interrupted the principal's speech last time, and it turned out to be a more active guy in the class.That guy's name is Lu Gui, and he likes to show off, but he's not very courageous. He often imitates other people or some characters on TV in the class, and then makes everyone in the class laugh at him. .

Zhang Tao felt that he underestimated this guy a little bit. He dared to intervene in the principal's meeting without anyone noticing.

What exposed him was his plastic leather notebook, on which he copied many popular songs.It is really not easy for students at this time to learn pop songs. They always copy the lyrics of their favorite songs in a notebook, and then sing them out when they have nothing to do.

Zhang Tao saw the song "Eggs Under the Red Flag" in this guy's lyrics book, as well as "Nothing" and "Fake Monk".

Zhang Tao didn't say a word after he knew about this matter, he just knew it, and he wouldn't report it to the principal or anything, regardless of the benefits of reporting this thing to him, he just went to beat up a child with a soul in his thirties I feel quite ashamed for my small report.

In fact, what is even more strange to Zhang Tao is that this guy's family is not very good, how could there be these things?Later he found out that this notebook was picked up by Lu Gui outside, not from his school.

At Zhang Tao's house, after his mother received the reply letter from Zhang Tao's father, Zheng Hu, Zhang Cuihua immediately became busy. Everything must be done before the spring sowing, otherwise her family will become even busier when the spring sowing arrives. stand up.

Anyway, she doesn't need to care too much about the family affairs. The children can cook and do housework by themselves, which saves her a lot of work.

Zhang Tao's little uncle was in charge of building the shed, and even Zhang Tao's aunt and his grandfather came to help, plus a few people were invited from the village. All the places have been repaired, and two huts for people have been repaired, and the electric wires have been connected from the village.

Only part of the money was paid for the building materials, and the rest will be given to those who sell the materials after a while. These are all guaranteed by Zhang Tao’s little uncle. cooked.

The rest of the money was used to buy two pigs and more than 200 chickens and ducks, and the rest of the money was used for the pesticide and fertilizer seeds sown in spring.These are actually completely beyond Zhang Tao's original plan, but these are Zheng Hu's suggestions. In comparison, Zhang Cuihua believes in her husband more. After all, no matter how smart his son is, his age and knowledge are still there.

Originally, she planned to raise ten pigs at once, but Zhang Tao vetoed it. Now they are new to everything and have to explore. If they are so big at one time, it is easy to go wrong, so Xiaozhu only bought two pigs. , the same as Zhang Tao's previous plan.

When that sow gives birth, it's better not to sell all the sows and keep them for themselves, so that they have half a year of buffer time for them to explore.As soon as Zhang Cuihua thought the suggestion was good, she did as Zhang Tao said, which also saved her from becoming so nervous about the money on hand.

But by this time, the little money I saved at the end of last year has almost been spent.

The people in the village didn't have any special feelings about the actions of Zhang Tao's family. Most of them saw it as lively, but the captain and the accountant were a little surprised when they saw Zhang Cuihua's actions.

No wonder she wants to extend the contract time, it will cost a lot of money to build a shed, it seems that Zhang Cuihua is ready to take care of this reservoir, but when they think of the evil door of the reservoir, they can't help shaking their heads again, that is It's a loss-making business, no matter how much you toss about it, it's useless.

After everything is done, the surrounding households have already entered the time of spring plowing. First turn over all the paddy fields, then soak them in water, and then turn over for the second time.

At this time, the rice seedling field will start to be prepared, leaving some paddy fields, and then arrange them into several seedbeds. The seedbeds should be higher than the water surface, and the paddy fields should also store water for a long time.

Scatter all the germinated rice seeds that have been kept at home for heat preservation, then pat them into the soil with a broom, and then cover them with plastic film for heat preservation, and wait until the seedlings grow out.

At this time, the technique of throwing seedlings and the transplanting of small seedlings in rural areas have not been popularized, and people still use the traditional seedbed raising method to grow rice.

Around the time of Ching Ming Festival, the paddy fields in front of the entire village were turned upside down, and the smell of mud could be smelled everywhere. The swallows also came back from the south at this time, and began to peck the mud from the paddy fields to find a place to build their nests. up.

It was Saturday again, and there was no class in the afternoon. After finishing his homework in a hurry, Zhang Tao was sitting at home watching two swallows build their nests under the eaves of his house.People at this time welcomed the fact that swallows could build nests under their own eaves, thinking that swallows would only build nests when they looked for wealthy families.

In order to make it easier for swallows to build nests, many people nail a few wooden strips under the eaves.Zhang Tao nailed the wooden strips of Zhang Tao's house, and built a tile in the middle to make it easier for swallows to build their nests.

In the past, there were very few swallows in his house, so he made such a move, for the sake of getting a good start and for fun.A few days after nailing up the wooden strips, two swallows were finally attracted, which made Zhang Yong and Zhang Yan very happy. Zhang Cuihua's mood became even better after seeing it.

These are also only available at this time. In the next few years, people in the village will build bungalows and build new houses. Then they will become disgusted with swallows again, because swallows will often shit on the ground after nesting. Yeah, make the inside of the room dirty, nobody cares if swallows come into the house will bring good luck or something, so they will drive away the swallows that come from the house to build a nest.

"Zhang Tao! Is Zhang Tao at home?"

At this moment, Wang Zhongqiu's voice came out outside, interrupting Zhang Tao's thoughts of looking up at the swallows building their nests.Zhang Tao frowned. After Wang Zhongqiu was confiscated by his mother for a long time, his air gun was like frost. Today's state seems to be a little different, and there is even a little excitement in his tone.

"You are at home, do you still have kerosene at home, shall we go catch eels together at night?"

After entering the room and seeing Zhang Tao sitting there in a daze, Wang Zhongqiu said to Zhang Tao excitedly, his eyes were beating eagerly, as if he had found a fun trick again.

Catch fish at night?As soon as Wang Zhongqiu said it, Zhang Tao's memory was immediately pulled away. It was a long time ago. If Wang Zhongqiu hadn't come to find him, Zhang Tao had almost forgotten that there was still such a thing to play at this time.At this time, all the paddy fields outside were plowed again, and then water was released again.

The loach eels that were originally hidden in the mud for the winter will all come out at night, foraging for food, wandering wandering, it is the best time to catch them, Zhang Tao used to be a master at this game, every year at this time Can catch a lot of loaches and eels, and add some extra pieces to his family.

Wang Zhongqiu came to Zhang Tao’s house to ask if there was any kerosene, because they used iron wire to tie a cotton ball into a cotton ball when they caught fish at night, and then dipped it in kerosene to use as a torch. .

In fact, some people directly use the miner's lamps used by miners in coal mines. The light is stronger than ordinary flashlights, but the range of light irradiation is not as wide as that of torches.
