Reborn Country Overlord

Chapter 47 It's Raining!Clothes are collected!

Zhang Tao was born on the [-]th day of the seventh lunar month, which happened to be during the traditional Ghost Festival.The Ghost Festival here is different from other places. On the tenth day of the seventh month, the whole village gathers in the ancestral hall in the village to worship, so stop picking up the ancestors.Every family will burn some paper money or something, and set off firecrackers.

Then, starting from the morning of the eleventh, the whole village cooks and worships the ancestors according to the family's talent.On the evening of the fourteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, all the people in the village gathered at the head of the village to burn paper money and place some food to worship again. This time it is called sending ancestors.During this period of time, all children are not allowed to go out after twelve o'clock at night. It is said that the gate of hell is opened, and they are afraid of encountering something unclean.

The second time it rained was on the first day after the Ghost Festival. Although Zhang Yong was very reluctant, he was dragged to the water inlet of the reservoir by Zhang Tao. Zhang Tao still used the same method last time, so this time he caught There are no fewer fish than last time.

But this time he didn't need his mother's help. Zhang Yong's strength improved significantly after being trained for a period of time, and the two brothers directly carried the more than [-]-jin fish back.

Although Zhang Tao also likes to eat fish, he gets annoyed if he eats it often, but he still can't suppress his hobby of catching fish.So after seeing the rain, he would instinctively grab the fish and run to catch the fish, and he would always have a particularly pleasant sense of satisfaction after seeing those fish being caught by himself.

After returning home, seeing Zhang Cuihua's surprised look, Zhang Yong was immediately happy. He felt that his mother would definitely blame Zhang Tao this time, who made him catch so many fish.Zhang Cuihua really meant this, she thought that Zhang Tao caught so many fish to dry them for sale, and was about to say something before Zhang Tao spoke first.

"We don't need to dispose of all of them. Let's just dry a small part of the fish and sell it. The rest will be ground into fishmeal and fed to pigs. The fishmeal we made last time is running low, and we won't be able to feed it for long." After Zhang Cuihua heard Zhang Tao's words, she thought for a while that this was indeed the case, so she didn't say anything.

Zhang Yong watched in disappointment as his mother let Zhang Tao go so easily, and he had to deal with those fish together later, his face immediately became depressed.Sure enough, he was still like that, and he would never have the upper hand in front of this younger brother.

After dinner, the family gathers together to process more than [-] catties of larger fish, wash the rest and put them directly to bake without cleaning the internal organs.In fact, many people like to eat small fish that have not been cleaned and dried. They have a fried small river fish with bitter gourd. They use small fish that have not been cleaned. .

But there are many people who like to eat this dish. It is said that this dish has the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying and improving eyesight.Zhang Tao is not sure about the effect, but if the children here eat this dish when they have prickly heat in summer, they can see obvious effects.

As September approached, Zhang Yong's junior high school admission letter arrived, which meant that the summer vacation was coming to an end.Their junior high school started earlier than the elementary school, and they had to go to see what class they were in. There were several classes in each grade of junior high school.

Zhang Tao's home is not far from the middle school in the town, so his brother doesn't need to live on campus now, and he will decide whether to live on campus until the third year of junior high.

"Xiaxia quietly passed by and left a little secret. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. The evening wind blows and warms my heart. I think of you again. How sweet, how sweet, how can I forget. I can't forget you, write you in Diary..." School is about to start, which means that summer is far away, and some children have begun to sing this song.

At this time, a few strangers came to Zhang Tao's house, led by Zhang Tao's head teacher, and a cadre from the brigade.Zhang Tao immediately knew what was going on when he saw those people. They were from the district central primary school, and they came to pick students with good grades.The one who took the lead was the principal of the District Central Primary School, and the only responsible teacher Zhang Tao met in his previous life.

They came here to invite Zhang Tao to study in the district central primary school. The quality of teaching there is much better than that of Zhang Tao's village primary school.In the previous life, Zhang Tao didn't go when he was in the third grade and transferred to the fourth grade, because it was a little far away, and because his family was particularly short of labor at that time.

They didn't pass until the sixth grade of primary school. At that time, the district primary school had a random selection to form two top classes.Zhang Tao didn't agree to go there this time either, it was too far away, he didn't like living on campus, and living on campus meant that he would not be able to live so comfortably in the future.

And the living food is also poor. I can only go home on Wednesday afternoon and Saturday in a week. I usually bring vegetables and rice from my own home.The dishes are the kind of dried vegetables that can be eaten for several days at a time. Zhang Tao, who was in the sixth grade, felt bitter in those days. Now that he is in the third grade, he really can't bear it.

The teachers in the district center spent a lot of saliva. After all, Zhang Tao's grades are better than those in his previous life. He has been the first in the district for two consecutive semesters. They are really reluctant to give up this good seed.However, Zhang Tao just refused to go, even if his mother Zhang Cuihua was doing work, it was useless.

In the end, the teachers of the district elementary school had to leave with regret, but they knew that they would have to draw again when they were in the sixth grade, and they would check Zhang Tao's results at that time, so they didn't care too much.This time they took a few other students from Zhang Tao's class and passed, so it was not a waste of money.

Wang Zhongqiu also passed away, not because of his good grades, but because of his father's relationship.These are slightly changed from the previous life. In the previous life, there were not so many students taken away from Zhang Tao's class, and there were only two in the previous life.It is worth mentioning that the Chinese and math teachers in Zhang Tao's class were also admitted to the district primary school because of their good grades in the final exam.

Zhang Tao just smiled when he heard the news, this didn't happen in his previous life.The improvement in the grades of all the students in their class actually has nothing to do with those two teachers, and I don't know if they can still teach such grades after they went to the district primary school.

These don't have much to do with Zhang Tao, so he doesn't have any opinions on these, and it's better to hang out in the village primary school with peace of mind.The little days here are so comfortable, and the teacher doesn't care much about himself. As long as it's not too outrageous, it doesn't matter how much he tosses.

When junior high school started, Zhang Tao accompanied Zhang Yong to the middle school in the town for a while.At this time, Zhang Yong had three classes in the first day of junior high school, and Zhang Yong was in class 51.After looking at the shift schedule and then the tuition fee, the two brothers walked home together.It didn't take long to get to their house from the middle of the town, about ten minutes away.

It was getting dark again as we approached the bay, and it looked like it was going to rain again.There are still many people in the bay whose rice has not been sun-dried. At this time, they are rushing to harvest the millet, and they are using that kind of wooden windmill to blow open and pack the empty millet. At this time, the public grain must be handed over, and it must be dried and removed. Empty husk of millet.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Tao suddenly ran away on a whim, yelling loudly while running, looking a little excited.It's not easy to finally give myself a chance to say that sentence that I've kept in my heart for a long time. "It's thundering! It's raining! Go home and collect your clothes."

The surrounding villagers looked at Zhang Tao's reaction curiously, not understanding why the kid was so excited to collect clothes.Zhang Yong at the back seemed to feel that Zhang Tao's appearance was quite embarrassing, so he immediately slowed down his pace and tried his best to separate himself from Zhang Tao, so as not to let others count him and Zhang Tao together.

Suddenly, his complexion changed drastically as if he remembered something, and he hurriedly chased after Zhang Tao, no longer caring about whether he was ashamed.The guy who ran so fast must be planning to go fishing again. I will start school tomorrow, can I have a good night, Zhang Yong really doesn't want to deal with so many fish at night, and I feel sad when I mention that. , this summer he has handled fish many times.

It's just that his reaction was already slow. When he caught up with Zhang Tao, Zhang Tao had already picked up the thing and ran towards the water inlet of the reservoir.Sure enough, he ran home to catch fish. Zhang Yong really didn't understand why his younger brother was so interested in fishing, and he didn't seem to be bothered by eating fish.

Just one fish made him a lot of tricks, boiled, stewed, fried, steamed, and smoked, all kinds of tricks to eat, even their mother Zhang Cuihua has never seen so many fancy.Extremely depressed, they followed Zhang Tao's buttocks and worked hard. After the rain stopped, they netted dozens of catties of fish again.

Now the fish in the reservoir have also learned how to go to the water inlet. Even if they smell the smell, they don't dare to go there, so the amount is less.Seeing that the harvest has shrunk a lot, Zhang Yong immediately feels better, at least he doesn't have to be so busy tonight.It's just that Zhang Tao's words soon raised his heart again, for fear that Zhang Tao would really come again.

"This fish is a little short, why don't we catch another one at night?" Zhang Tao looked at the fish caught in the net and said to himself, how much can the dried fish sell for a catty here.He is now interested in things that are fun and money-making, as if he is possessed, so he naturally wants to make more money.

Zhang Yong, who was walking behind him, slipped his foot and almost fell. He quickly stopped him and said, "I don't have time tonight. I have to start school tomorrow. I need to go to bed early. And I have to get up in the morning to exercise." Well, if you have too many fish to catch, I won’t help you.”

"I don't need you in the future, and my little sister and I will use the net to move shrimp at night." After hearing what Zhang Yong said, Zhang Tao rolled his eyes and said.The moving net he mentioned is a bit different from the big moving net. The old and unused cotton mosquito net cloth is cut into squares of tens of centimeters, and the edges are sewn with rope.Then use thinned bamboo pieces to prop up the four corners of the square cloth, and tie a bamboo pole with a rope.
