Rebirth breaks you straight

This summer has been very long for Chat and Chen Zan, but it has also yielded a lot.

Tan Tian went back and forth between his home and Qifeng Town day after day. After a summer vacation, under Tan Weimin’s practice, he not only learned how to deal with Tan Weimin’s intermittent nervousness, but also learned to cook a lot of home-cooked dishes; I watched The Romance of the Three Kingdoms twice from beginning to end, and I was able to retell the story exactly; the chess level also improved by leaps and bounds under Tan Weimin's training.

Chen Zan and Tan Yang picked up fungus and cicada sloughs from a summer vacation, and in the end they made a total of more than 150 yuan.Among them, the cicadas are the big ones, and they are sold at drugstores for ten yuan a catty.

However, the cicada sloughs were too light, a snakeskin bag full of cicada sloughs weighed only two or three catties, Chen Zan and Tan Yang almost picked up all the cicada sloughs around the village.Later, many children in the village also learned from them to pick up cicadas and sell them for money, and the number gradually decreased.

After failing to pick up the cicada slough, Tan Yang urged Chen Zan to go fishing for frogs.Frogs are actually a very popular game in the market, so Chen Zan couldn't bear to catch them.In this era, because the ecological environment is still good, crops are not sprayed with as many pesticides as later, and the contribution of the frog, a good helper of the farm, is indispensable.

As for the children in the village, when it comes to summer vacation, each person has a fishing rod, and one end of the thick fishing line is tied with a piece of chicken intestines, cabbage worms, etc., and a snakeskin bag is held in one hand. Put the bait into the rice field and shake it up and down to lure the frogs.

The frog's eyes could only see moving things, and it thought it was a bug, so it came to swallow the bait. The urchin quickly lifted the frog up and caught it in his pocket before it took off the bait.These frogs are also stupid, they bite the bait and don't let go easily, so nine out of ten they can't escape the clutches of urchins, and they become a delicacy on people's table.

Chen Zan didn't go fishing for frogs, and occasionally took Tan Yang to the river to catch crabs.It is also a lot of fun to catch crabs. Crabs generally inhabit on riverbanks that are relatively close to the water surface. They use their pliers to make a shallow hole on the wet riverbank, and then stay in it.Moreover, there are usually more than one crab in a cave, but a whole family. Sometimes when a crab cave is dug, more than a dozen large and small crabs can be caught.

But river crabs are thin, have little meat, and don’t taste very good. They are usually deep-fried with shells and meat. They are crispy and delicious.Chen Zan himself doesn't like to eat, so catching crabs is just a game to pass the time.

The savings of Chen Zan and Tanzi Brothers add up to 700 yuan, which is not considered a shortage of money, but no one thinks there is too much money, and they can earn as much as they can.

Chen Zan's family's business is also booming. The chickens raised by his mother and second aunt have been replaced several times. Because of limited energy, they raise up to five or six hundred chickens at a time, and sell them when they grow up. The risk is relatively small.

There are two to three hundred hens that can lay eggs, and they can pick up one or two hundred eggs every day. They signed a contract with the non-staple food purchase station in the town and delivered them every few days. Hundreds of credits.Calculated in this way, the chicken farm alone has an annual income of several thousand, which really made the surrounding neighbors really envious.

The mushroom farm next to the chicken farm has also begun to bear fruit.In order to grow mushrooms well, Chen Changsheng went to a mushroom farm in Lin County to learn mushroom farming techniques.At present, only common oyster mushrooms and Tricholoma mushrooms are grown. Although there are relatively few varieties, the advantage is that the raw materials are all in-house. Except for the seeds, there is no other cost, and you can earn as much as you can.

So this summer, the first batch of artificially cultivated mushrooms were produced.Everyone in the village thought it was fresh, and they all made some to go back and taste it. After eating it, they all said it was not as fragrant as wild mushrooms.

The taste of the artificially farmed ones is not as good as the wild ones, so the price is naturally cheaper.When the mushrooms came out, the Chen Changlong brothers were busy for a long time, because they had to take care of, harvest, and go to the market every day, so they were so busy that they didn't touch the ground.

Chen Zan knew that his parents, uncles and aunts were planning to buy a motorized tricycle by themselves, because it was too inconvenient to carry baskets and loads to go to the market every day. If he had a car, he could go to the county town if he wanted to.

Chen Zan found that the elders walked faster than he expected, probably because he is in this position, many things force you to face and change, and your horizons gradually widen.This is a good sign.

As early as the beginning of August, Chen Zanhe chatted with the notification letter from No. 1 Middle School, which was expected.Needless to say, Chen Zan, let alone chatting, two children with special talents, no matter which school they go to, they are very popular.In particular, Chen Zan was admitted with the No.[-] grade in the township.

Chen Qiao also received a notice from the No. [-] Middle School at the same time, but hers was from the High School.Chen Qiao's grades are among the best in the county, so she can go to No. [-] Middle School, but she still chose No. [-] Middle School, because No. [-] Middle School is close to home, and the school also provides scholarships. Chen Zan also goes to No. [-] Middle School, so she can take care of her nearby.

Later, when Chen Zan saw Chen Qiao talking with the boy named Wang Wenjun at school, he realized that this was also a major reason why his sister was admitted to No. [-] Middle School.

Both families were happy for a while, and Chen Zan's family even held a family banquet to celebrate the two children's admission to No. [-] Middle School.

But the real problem soon came. No. 400 Middle School is a boarding school, and all boarding and lodging are in the school. Unlike the boarding students in the township middle school, even the food and vegetables are provided by the school, and there is no need to send them home.But in this way, all these will be converted into cash, and after one semester, the tuition fee will be about [-] yuan.

Chen Zan's family is financially well-off now, and they have money coming in and out almost every day, and they don't care about the 400 yuan, but the chat family is different.

Tan Weimin groaned and sighed for the money for several days. If Tan Tian went to a rural middle school, the tuition fee would only be more than 100 if he went to the second middle school, and it would cost more than half more.

Although the father and son had said that they would not read books for Chatian when they quarreled, it was an angry word after all, and the money had to be paid.Tan Tian was admitted to No. [-] Middle School, and when the neighbors in the village saw Tan Weimin, they would stop and pass cigarettes to compliment him.Talking about when Weimin received this kind of treatment, he was quite flattered. After a few days, he gradually figured it out, well, let's spend money to buy some face.

After the hot summer is over, it is hot and boring autumn tiger.Chen Zan and Chatting each packed their bedding and luggage, packed two changes of clothes, carried a bucket containing a mug and a lunch box, and went to school.

The junior high school of the No. 120 Middle School is considered to be attached to the high school. Every year, only [-] junior high school freshmen are enrolled, divided into two classes.Both Chen Zan and Tan Tian were nervous and searched for their names on the big red list posted on the bulletin board, neither of them wanted to be in different classes from each other.

Fortunately, when Chen Zan found his name at the front of Class 39, Chat had already found his name at the bottom of the same piece of paper.Chatting put his hand on Chen Zan's shoulder: "Hey, that's great, Xiao Zan, we're still in the same class." He couldn't hide his excitement on his face.

Chen Zan also had a smile on his face, and the two continued to look at the other names on the piece of paper. Anyway, these will be classmates from now on, so let's recognize familiarity first.

Chat suddenly called out: "Hey, Shen Xiaoyu!" He pointed to the red paper next to him.

Chen Zan's gaze was also immediately drawn to it, and Shen Xiaoyu's name was impressively listed on the red list of Class [-], Grade [-] next door. "Could it be the same name?" Chen Zan was a little suspicious, he clearly remembered that Shen Xiaoyu used to go to the same town middle school as him, how could he be in No. [-] middle school now?

Tan Tian put his arms around his shoulders: "I don't know, maybe it's her."

Chen Zan dropped the chattering arm from his shoulder: "Let's go, let's sign up."

It was market day, Tan Weimin dragged Tan Tian to the town and entrusted it to Chen Changlong, and did not come to sign up for his son.Yu Bilian was going to come, but was persuaded by chatting, so she went with Chen Zan by herself, and she didn't worry about bringing the tuition fees to herself, so she could put it on Chen Changlong.

Chen Changlong and a group of parents squeezed into the registration window to register the two children. After the registration was completed, the dormitory was found, and the two children were settled, Chen Changlong got up and prepared to go back: "Xiao Zan, you and Tan Tian are at school. Study hard and take care of yourself, Dad is going back first."

Chen Zan hurriedly followed in Chen Changlong's footsteps: "Dad, don't worry, I will take care of myself. I will see you off."

Pushing his bicycle, Chen Changlong suddenly thought of something, and took out a ten-yuan note from his pocket: "I forgot to give you this week's pocket money."

"Dad, I don't need it. I have money." Chen Zan waved his hand and said.

Chen Changlong said: "Dad knows that you can earn money by yourself. This is the pocket money that your father and mother give you every week. This is just the beginning of school. Just in case the school has to pay some fees, take it."

Chen Zan thought for a while, and took it over: "Thank you, Dad. Actually, you don't need so much." To be honest, ten yuan a week is a bit too much pocket money.Board and lodging are all provided by the school, and it doesn’t cost money. You only need to buy some pens and inks, and the pens and inks are all prepared in advance.

Chen Changlong said: "From now on, it will be two yuan a week. School has just started, so I will give you some emergency supplies. I'm leaving, and I'm listening to the teacher at school." He said and stepped on the bicycle.

Chen Zan waved his hand: "Goodbye, Dad!"

Back in the dormitory, chatting and sitting on the edge of the bed, dangling his legs, he has already chatted with a few students in the dormitory very well, this guy is not a lonely master.

Chatting saw him come back, he waved at him: "Xiao Zan, uncle has gone back?"

Chen Zan nodded and sat quietly beside Chatian.They arrived early, and Chen Zan chose a lower berth by the window, where the light was better.Chat and share the same bed with him.

Although No. [-] Middle School is very large, it also has many students, and the accommodation environment is really average.Junior high school students shared the same bed for two, Chen Zan originally didn't want to share the same bed with Chat Tian, ​​but he was even more unwilling to share the same bed with someone he didn't know.

A tall boy was tidying things in the bed next to them, and he chatted and said, "Do you know each other?"

Tan Tian put his arms around Chen Zan's shoulders and said with a smile, "Yes, we are neighbors and elementary school classmates. His name is Chen Zan." Then he turned to Chen Zan and said, "His name is Li Hongqiang."

It's a very common name, but it matches his image very well. Chen Zan nodded to Li Hongqiang: "Hello."

Li Hongqiang also nodded his head.

Tan Tian pointed to a very white and thin boy on the upper bunk and said, "His name is Zhou Guoguang." Then he pointed to the boy on the lower bunk diagonally opposite and said, "He is Feng Bikai."

Chen Zan was speechless, as if he was the owner of this room. "Let's go, Tanzi, let's go to eat." After a busy morning, it was almost noon, and it was time for lunch.

Li Hongqiang quickly said, "Wait, where are you going to eat?"

Chen Zan said, "The cafeteria."

"How to eat?" Zhou Guoguang Ye asked.

Chen Zan said: "When signing up and paying the money, everyone was given meal and vegetable tickets, and you can just buy them in the cafeteria."

"Why didn't I." Zhou Guoguang looked confused.

Chatted and said: "It's all there, it's in your receipt, take a look."

Sure enough, the three people checked their receipts again, and there were indeed a few tickets with green letters on a white background: "So these are meal tickets. Come on, let's go eat too."

"Oh, I haven't bought a lunch box yet." Feng Bikai slapped his head, "You guys go first, I'll go buy a lunch box first."

A few of them went to the cafeteria together. When they reached the stairs, they met a middle-aged woman carrying a fashionable suitcase and a boy coming up. They couldn't help but stop and watch for a while, because they are carrying luggage these days. Box people are rare.Unexpectedly, the boy came to the door of their dormitory: "305, this is it."

Chat quickly lowered his voice and said, "We're in our class."

Chen Zan said: "Let's go eat first, we'll talk when we come back.
