Chapter 112: Silkworm Affairs

Zheng Hu did not go back to his hometown to pay New Year's greetings this year, and went back to work in the south with Lin Sheng and Zheng Congwu on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoFor Zhang Tao, in fact, it doesn't matter whether Zheng Hu goes to work in the south or not, and their family's conditions don't require him to go to the south to work 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 incomprehensible. It's just that he can't interject in this area, so he decisively kept silent, otherwise he will be trained.

Neither husband nor wife has any opinions, 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 withstand the test of time and distance. A few years later, the distance will only make the distance farther away, and the beauty of that kind of thing can no longer be seen, and it is all covered up by beauty.

Zhang Tao, Daniel Zhang and Zhao Lin all started school on the tenth day of the new year, making up classes in advance, and the official opening of the school was actually after the fifteenth year of the year. The three of them are facing the entrance exam after the Chinese New Year, which is a critical period, and their study tasks are naturally more intense, and the teachers are also nervously staring at the graduating class.

Not long after the official start of school, Zhang Tao was tutoring Zhao Lin with homework, and neither of them lived on campus, so they did homework together at night. At this time, Zhang Yanshen mysteriously took out a small piece of newspaper folded and wrapped in a small handkerchief from his close-fitting pocket, and came out: "Second brother, look! I have a lot of silkworm babies. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Tao glanced at Zhang Yan, who was holding things carefully, and looked like a baby, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help jumping, "You are still silkworm eggs, and you haven't hatched yet, how can you be considered a silkworm baby." But how much did you spend on these silkworm eggs? ”

It makes sense for him to ask, because people in Huangpu Village don't have the custom of raising silkworms on a large scale, and they are generally just raised by children to play. When Zhang Tao was still studying in the village primary school, there were children in their school who would be self-reliant early to earn money in order to earn any spare money for Hua Huadan.

I don't know where they found the silkworm eggs to sell, counting from the number of a dime, and there are also those who sell the hatched silkworms, according to the size of the number of a dime. Silkworm eggs are much cheaper, and many silkworm eggs can't hatch, so people who don't know will be fooled.

Generally speaking, silkworms are a little better than silkworm eggs, in addition to the fact that silkworm eggs cannot hatch, it takes time to hatch, and the hatched silkworms, a small strip of black and autumn, are easy to ignore and easy to have problems. Especially when children raise these, their hands and feet are slightly focused, and those little silkworms will die.

But children don't understand this, they prefer silkworm eggs. In order to hatch the silkworm as soon as possible, they will be like Zhang Yan now, and they will collect the silkworm egg close to their bodies, relying on the temperature of the human body to wait for the silkworm eggs to hatch as soon as possible.

They seem to like the incubation process, and they don't care so much about anything else. The close-fitting silkworm eggs should be looked at several times a day, always paying attention to the hatching of the silkworm eggs, and always worrying about the hatching of those silkworm eggs.

However, at this time, the mulberry trees have not yet germinated, and the silkworms hatch without mulberry leaves. At this time, they will pick the leaves of a vegetable for the silkworms to eat, and many of the silkworms will die early at this time because they are fed messy things, and they will not survive the mulberry leaves.

"I didn't ask for money, I gave it to me at the same table, and her brother raised a lot." Zhang Yan's expression was a little proud, with her prestige at school, it is estimated that no one would dare to ask her for money. Zhang Tao's domineering spirit is still circulating in that primary school, especially the teachers in the school still use Zhang Tao's results to educate other students from time to time, and it is difficult for those children to remember it.

If this angers Zhang Yan, Zhang Tao may come back to trouble them. That's a legend in this school, one man can kill a big wild boar. In addition, Zhang Yanchang is beautiful and has good grades, and her popularity in school is still very good, and she has a lot of friends.

"Oh, then don't hatch the silkworm eggs yet, it's easy for you to hatch them with them close to you now. At this time, the mulberry trees have not yet sprouted, and when they hatch, there is nothing to feed them, and they will starve to death. Zhang Tao was relieved to see that his sister was not deceived and spent money to buy it, and reminded his sister rarely.

He raised silkworms in his previous life, so he had a little experience with these, and he didn't bother to look at silkworms in this life, which was boring! Raising a few is a trick for children, it's nothing fun, and you have to take care of it until you spin silk, and you can't make any money, and you don't have that mind to raise Zhang Tao in batches.

There are mulberry trees in the vegetable garden behind Zhang Tao's old house, and there are two very large ones, which have indeed not sprouted at this time, only one bud bag. Speaking of mulberry trees, it is also quite strange, Zhang Tao's family has two mulberry trees, one can bear mulberries, but the other cannot.

The older generation in the bay said that this was a male and a female, and Zhang Tao didn't know much about plants, so he believed it. A male and a female are a male and a female, and it's good to make a couple. Anyway, one of the mulberry trees at home can bear mulberries, so you can pick and eat it if you have nothing to do.

However, when it comes to mulberries, Zhang Tao always feels a little unnatural, and although it means that it is not bad, it is sweet and sour. But after eating it, the mouth is black, and the tongue is also black, which is too ugly, which is not so good memories for children who are not delicious.

"Oh." After listening to Zhang Tao's words, Zhang Yan responded, and then took out the small ball of newspaper, put it in a cardboard box and put it in the study. Zhang Tao took a closer look again, and was relieved to see that the silkworm eggs did not hatch, and it was estimated that they would not hatch so quickly in the study in this weather.

This inspection is necessary, if those silkworm eggs have traces of hatching, it is useless to put them at this time, and those silkworm eggs will still hatch on their own. Zhang Tao remembered that in his previous life, there was a guy in his class who was like this, and he casually threw the silkworm eggs in a cardboard box, and then forgot about it.

It took a while to remember, and then I opened the carton to see that all the little silkworms had hatched, but there was nothing to eat, and they were all starved to death. It was still dry and left in the box, and when the wind blew, it all floated away, and as soon as the child opened the carton and saw that all the things he had spent a few cents on were gone, he burst into tears.

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

Although Zhang Tao is not interested in raising silkworms now, he is still willing to guide his sister to raise silkworms when he sees that his sister has raised them. He had raised several batches of silkworms in his previous life, and he still had a little experience. This thing can be regarded as a good memory for the childhood of a primary school student, and Zhang Tao naturally will not extinguish it.

After a while, the two mulberry trees in the family began to grow leaves, and Zhang Tao asked Zhang Yan to take out the silkworm eggs and hatch them. The slap newspaper was densely covered with silkworm eggs, estimated to be more than 100 trees, which had turned blue at this time, and it was estimated that they were about to hatch.

Zhang Yan saw that her second brother let her hatch the silkworm eggs, so she immediately wrapped it in a small handkerchief and put it in her arms, and was gently slapped on the shoulder by Zhang Tao. "Don't bother, give it to me, and I can help you hatch the silkworm in two days."

Zhang Tao put the silkworm eggs in a cardboard box, and 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 slowly warmed up, and the place is warm, and after a week or so, those silkworm eggs began to hatch one by one, and a small black strip, like a caterpillar, is super ugly.

Zhang Tao told Zhang Yan to carefully get all the little silkworms on the prepared tender mulberry leaves, and the rest was to change the mulberry leaves for those little silkworms regularly. Zhang Tao doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing, Zhao Lin will also help Zhang Yan from time to time on the side, this girl has been raised by the family before.

In fact, Zhang Tao didn't have much time at this time, his studies were very nervous, and the teacher would add classes if he had nothing to do. After a period of time in the new semester, the students of their top class will first go to participate in a city-wide language and mathematics league, and the students of both top classes will go to the Chengbei Primary School.

In his previous life, Zhang Tao also participated in this exam, but at that time he was motion sick, and the bus chartered by the school shook his whole body weakly, and even his intestines were about to vomit. The whole person has been dizzy, and he is bored of doing anything.

When he lived in the guest house in the city, he didn't rest well because there were people next door from time to time who were noisy, and he was sick and tired in that exam, but he barely passed the test and won a third prize in the city, which is also a small honor.

You must know that the two of them have only one second prize and 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 second middle school in the city, and this exam was the entrance exam for the promotion to the key junior high school. Zhang Tao still fainted because of motion sickness, but he was not so lucky this time, and he fell off the list by one point.

In fact, this is not a big deal, because he won a third prize in the league, and the admissions teacher of the second middle school promised to go directly to the second middle school in the past, but later the second middle school regretted it, and Zhang Tao did not make it.

At that time, Zhang Tao's homeroom teacher angrily went to the No. 2 Middle School to reason, and said several times before the No. 2 Middle School relented and promised that as long as Zhang Tao's family paid an extra 400 yuan, they could be admitted exceptionally, while other students who were not admitted were more than 2,000.

However, Zhang Tao still can't go, 400 yuan is already his tuition fee for one semester, and his family has prepared such a little money, so is there any other money to pay Zhang Tao for sponsorship? (To be continued.) )
