Rebirth breaks you straight

When the bamboo shoots were sold out, they didn't have to go to the county seat the next day. They went back to the mountain to dig bamboo shoots that day. They didn't dig enough to sell in the afternoon, so they decided to dig another day before going.

Tan Tian took the time to practice his driving skills. Although he can ride a bicycle, he is not good at carrying people. He has a wish, that is, to be able to ride a bicycle with Chen Zan to the county town to sell winter bamboo shoots.But what is very hard is that Tan Tian found that his legs were too short to reach the seat of a [-] bicycle, so no matter how hard he practiced, he couldn’t carry both loads and people. For the first time, he felt that he was too short .

A day later, Chen Zan and Chen Qiao went to the county town by bicycle to sell bamboo shoots, and Tan Tian took Tan Yang and Tan Wei up the mountain to dig winter bamboo shoots, and sent Tan Wei back from time to time to see if Chen Zan was back.

Tan Wei's boss didn't want to go at first, but Tan Tian said that Chen Zan would definitely bring him delicious food, so Tan Wei ran around happily.After finishing the seventh run, Tan Wei finally came back with a piece of fan sugar contentedly: "Brother, Brother Zan is back."

It was getting late after chatting with Tan Yang, so he and Tan Yang hurried down the mountain with a hoe and a basket, and ran to Chen Zan's house.Before entering the room, the loud chatter yelled, "Xiao Zan, Xiao Zan."

Chen Zan came out of the house, and was eating lunch with a rice bowl in his hand: "Jar, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Go back and eat. After dinner, we will dig bamboo shoots together."

There is no time to eat while chatting, so I just asked eagerly: "How is it, how is it?"

Chen Zan said with a smile: "It's okay, it's much better than in the town, but it's too far away."

"How much did you sell for?" Chat asked impatiently.

Chen Zan said: "The bamboo shoots in the county are a bit more expensive, and they can be sold for fifty cents a catty, which is more than ten yuan in total. By the way, I bought some sugar for you, and you can take it back to eat." He took it out from home Pass a small packet of cattail candy to Chat.

Tan Tian smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Then go to the county to sell it?"

"Well, dig a little more every time, and go there every other day." Chen Zan calculated that in this way, he could earn tens of dollars this winter vacation. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't go to the streets during the Chinese New Year, he might have earned hundreds of dollars. Woolen cloth.

Tan Tian waved his arms: "Okay, I'll go back to eat, and we'll go up the mountain after we eat."

The end-of-semester notice was sent out soon, and Chen Zan was no. 1 again, this time chatting improved, and he got No. 3 in the exam, and finally got a perfect score in mathematics. No.2 is no accident Shen Xiaoyu.

Because Mr. Lin was the head teacher, he did not have the bad habit of giving awards only to the teachers’ children, but instead awarded them according to their grades. Therefore, both Chen Zan and Tan Tian won the three-good student award, and each was rewarded with a diary and a towel.

This made Chat Tianmei die, and when he got home, he looked left and right at his certificate, and laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

Chen Zan looked at his stupid look, and took the opportunity to say: "Read hard, there is a house of gold in the book."

Chatting giggled and giggled: "You're right, there is gold in the book."

This winter vacation, they spent digging winter bamboo shoots and going to the market to make money. When it was rainy and snowy and they couldn't go out, they stayed at home and warmed up by the fire, and asked Tan Weimin to teach them how to play chess.

Chen Zan loves to play chess, but his ability to play chess is not as good as that of Tan Tian, ​​and he can't even catch up with Tan Yang.If He Tan Tianxia loses, he will fight Tan Yang again, and if He Tan Yang Xia loses, he will challenge Tan Wei. Tan Wei, who is only six years old, is on par with him, and the two can be evenly divided.

Chen Zan's lasagna tears burst into his heart, can he only be at the same level as the kindergarten children?He comforted himself very ostrich: playing chess requires talent.

When Chen Zan and Tan Wei were playing chess, Tan Tian was watching the chess from the sidelines. One day, he suddenly said, "Xiao Zan, you seem to be thinking more complicatedly. You don't have to move so fast for this move."

Chen Zan was startled, his thoughts seemed to be a bit complicated, the most important thing to play chess is peace of mind, but he mixed too many thoughts, no wonder he would always lose.

After chatting for a while, Chen Zan's level finally made a breakthrough, but that's all.In the future, he will still be a well-known stinky chess basket. He has been defeated repeatedly, but he has been defeated repeatedly.Of course, he is not afraid that no one will trample on him, and the three brothers of the Tan family are good targets for his training.

After a winter vacation, the savings of the two brothers Chen Zan and Tan's family reached more than 80 yuan. In this era when it is difficult to pick up a penny, more than 80 yuan is a huge sum of money for a child.Tan Tian and Tan Yang thought that they were the richest people in the world, sometimes they could wake up laughing from their dreams.

But Chen Zan knew, what was this little money worth? It was too difficult and too slow to make money. He wished that a pie would fall from the sky, and it would fall on his way to get up early for a run.But he looked down at the road every day, and didn't see anything valuable.

Before the Chinese New Year, Chen Zan used the money they earned to buy a pair of rubber-soled shoes for each of the four boys, with black uppers and green decorative stripes. This is a very fashionable style in this era.

Although chatting hurts the more than 30 yuan he took out, when he puts on new shoes, he runs much more briskly than usual. This feeling is different from when his mother bought him new shoes.

This winter vacation, Chen Zan's parents and uncles are the busiest. They will dig out more than 700 large camellia trees in Huangtuling and transplant them into their tea garden.

In order to catch up with time, the adults only rested for three days before and after the Chinese New Year, and the rest of the time was busy between Huangtu Ridge and Houshan.

Chen Zan's uncles and aunts all came to help, the relatives of the second uncle's family were also called, and the neighbors who were close to the village were also called, such as chatting with parents and so on.Fortunately, these days, helping people only need to take care of the food, and there is no need to pay wages, otherwise the wages alone would be a lot of money.

Busy until the end of the first month, more than 700 Camellia oleifera plants finally settled down in Houshan, Chen Zan was relieved, this was the first step.

But the economic problem became obviously tense. Although the second uncle contracted with his family, the total savings of the second uncle was only 3000 yuan. After paying the contract payment, there was almost no money left.Chen Zan's family has a little more savings, but not much.After paying the contract money and buying tea trees and fertilizers, there is almost no money left.

The two fat pigs in Chen Zan's family were sold a few years ago. Because they were well-raised, each pig weighed about 200 catties. They were sold at the market price of three yuan.

To plant tea trees well, it is impossible to rely solely on farmyard manure. In such a wide area, how can there be so much farmyard manure, and if there is not enough, chemical fertilizers must be applied.Chen Zan imagined that he would be like the protagonist in other people's farming novels. With a wave of his golden finger, he used some space water to irrigate, saving all fertilizers, which is environmentally friendly and healthy.But the ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny, there is no way, let's be honest.

This year has been very busy, except for the pair of shoes that Chen Zan added himself, he didn't buy any new clothes.

Chen Zan's parents almost went to borrow money from relatives and friends.The family's finances were unprecedentedly tight. Before Chen Qiao was in the third grade of junior high school, her parents told her to take the technical secondary school entrance examination.

Chen Qiao is already 13 years old. The child of the poor has long been in charge of the family. As the eldest daughter, she naturally wants to share the family's worries.

But Chen Zan resisted all opinions and insisted on telling his parents: "I can't let my sister go to a technical secondary school, but to go to a high school to go to a university."

Liu Shuangshuang looked at her son helplessly: "But next year you will go to junior high school. If your sister goes to high school, where will our family get the tuition?" In the early 90s, normal students were still free.

Chen Zan looked at his father: "Dad, my sister's grades are so good, she always wanted to go to college, it's a pity to go to a technical secondary school."

Chen Changlong looked at his son and daughter who had been silent all this time with some embarrassment, and gritted his teeth: "What are you afraid of, go to high school when you go to high school. Don't you have to go to high school until next year? I don't believe that we can't earn tuition fees."

With tears in her eyes, Chen Qiao finally spoke: "Thank you Dad. I want to take the high school entrance examination. I heard that the top students in No. [-] Middle School have scholarships. I will definitely win them."

Chen Changlong was also a little moved: "Okay, we Qiaoqiao are sensible. Don't worry, we will send our children to college even if we are trying to sell it, as long as the children can afford it and are willing to study."

Liu Shuangshuang wiped her eyes, turned around and said, "I'm going to feed the pigs." In order to increase income, the family raised another pig this year.

Chen Zan said: "Mom, I will also earn money, and I will earn my own tuition fees in the future."

Liu Shuangshuang touched the top of his son's head, didn't speak, and smiled in relief.

Chen Qiao quietly went to hunt pigweed with a basket.

Chen Changlong prepared to go up the mountain with a hoe on his back.

Chen Zan's second aunt Zhang Mingli came in from the outside at this time: "Brother, are you going out? Where is my sister-in-law?"

Chen Changlong put down the hoe: "Mingli is here? Your sister-in-law is feeding the pigs in the back."

"I have something to do with my sister-in-law, brother, why don't you come too, let's discuss something and see if we can do it." Zhang Mingli said.

Chen Zan went to call his mother. He guessed that the second aunt had something important to tell his parents.

Zhang Mingli looked at her brother and sister-in-law, and said, "It's like this, brother, sister-in-law, didn't my natal brother set up a hatchery at home, someone ordered a batch of chickens, and there were more than 300 more chickens left." Little chickens, my brother asked me if I wanted to raise them. I thought it would be nice if we could raise some chickens and ducklings in a place as wide as our tea garden, so I’ll ask my sister-in-law how it goes.”

Liu Shuangshuang looked at Zhang Mingli: "You said we raised them together?"

Zhang Mingli nodded: "After all, there are a lot of them. I'm afraid that one person won't be able to see them."

Chen Zan said from the side: "Mom, I think Second Aunt's idea is good."

Liu Shuangshuang's trust in her son is obviously much higher, she looked at her son: "Really?"

Chen Zan ran back to the house and found a book "Professional Breeding for Prosperity in the New Countryside" from his school bag: "Look, Mom, there are many introductions on raising pigs and chickens." When the bamboo shoots were sold in the county town, I bought them when I went to the Xinhua Bookstore with my sister, and I just waited for the opportunity to show them to my parents.

Liu Shuangshuang took it over and flipped it over: "It says that besides millet, we also need to feed fodder. Where can we get the fodder?"

Chen Zan said: "Mom, it also says that chickens eat grass and worms. There is no shortage of grass and worms on our back mountain. This is better than feed." Not afraid of it growing.

Chen Changlong said: "Then we need to build some fences. There are not only bugs on the mountain, but also weasels."

Zhang Mingli said: "I also think about it in the same way. First brother and Changsheng will make some bamboo fences and weave them more densely. We will raise them in a circled area first. When the grass and insects are almost eaten, we will move the chickens to another place." Go in one piece. This way you won’t run all over the mountain.”

Liu Shuangshuang took a reassurance: "Okay, let's raise it. If it is well raised, we will raise some more."

Chen Zan jumped up in his heart. It seemed that everyone was showing their talents. The effect of raising chickens was much faster than that of raising pigs. In four or five months, the chickens would be ready to be slaughtered, and by then they would be worth nothing.However, we have to be reminded to do a good job in epidemic prevention. Although chicken plague is rare in this era, it will occasionally appear.

Spring is here, everything grows, and the world without makeup for a winter is dressed up again. The peach blossoms, the willows are green, the grass grows and the warblers fly. Everything is joyful, and it makes people feel lighter.

The spring rain is coming, pattering and ticking, but it is not as annoying as winter rain. It seems to be a beautiful and brisk musical score. The air after the rain is fresh and pleasant, and it is like a cleanser for washing the dust of the soul, making people refreshed stand up.

When the spring rain comes, so does hope.

The Camellia oleifera in the tea garden has absorbed the rain, dew and manure of nature, and is sprouting branches and leaves at an almost visible speed. Not only the original tea trees are growing, but also the newly transplanted tea trees do not show any discomfort. It quickly adapted to the new environment and began to sprout new buds. Even the tea fruit that had already formed did not fall off too much, and continued to absorb nutrients and grow vigorously.

The spring rain came, and after the spring thunder, the bamboo shoots dormant in the ground finally gathered enough strength to break the ground, and what greeted it was the warm spring breeze and warm sunshine.It stretched a lazy waist, and it pulled out more than a foot high, densely covering the entire bamboo forest, which is really delightful.

Grandpa Chen Zan is an experienced mountain man. He went to the bamboo forest to pull out some of the dense spring bamboo shoots, and picked a lot of spring bamboo shoots down the mountain.

Although grandma was a bit narrow-minded, she still cared about her son, so she took the trouble to peel every bamboo shoot carefully, cut the root, boil it in a large pot, rinse it, slice it, and put it in the sun. When exposed to the sun, it becomes dried bamboo shoots, which can last for years.If there is no sun in cloudy and rainy weather, it is necessary to light a fire to bake, so that the bamboo shoots will be dehydrated and dried as soon as possible, otherwise they will become moldy and spoiled.

After one spring, Chen Zan's family accumulated two to three hundred catties of dried bamboo shoots.Chen Changlong took the dried bamboo shoots to the provincial capital, and wholesaled them to the farmers' market for two yuan and sixty kilograms, and Houshan earned his first income of nearly a thousand yuan.

The spring rain came and moistened the earth. After the rain cleared, fungi grew again in the quiet pine forest. This was what Chen Zanhe chatted with the most, because he could pick up fungi and sell them for money again.

Every morning, they get up early for a run, and then go to the pine forest to pick up fungi.In the first three days of each week, the dried mushrooms are sold in the sun, and the fresh ones are sold in the last three days. I still go to the market every Sunday. Gradually, the savings increase.

There is another happy thing in spring, which is to go to the camellia garden to pick tea ears.Tea ear is a variation of the tender leaves of the Camellia oleifera tree. The tea leaves become thicker, red when immature, and silvery white or white when ripe. The taste is sweet and crisp, and it is a delicacy.

Picking tea ears is one of the children's favorite things to do in spring, because it is a kind of treasure hunting fun and a real treat, so why not do it.

After school, many children in the village will go directly to the back mountain to pick tea ears, and some even play in the tea forest until it is almost dark before going back.Chen Zan and chatting will also go, they will find tea for a while, and then go back to do homework and housework.

Liu Shuangshuang and Chen Changlong are often busy in the back mountains, so they turn a blind eye to this matter. The children's tasks are to play and eat, as long as they don't delay their homework.Sometimes they accidentally come across mature tea ears, and they will pick them off, put them in their pockets, and bring them back for their children to try.
