Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

Chapter 10 Becoming the King of Children

At the south end of Zhangjiatang is the village's wheat field.

The flat and empty wheat field is a paradise for children. Whenever the wheat is harvested, the adults are busy playing the field, and the children drill into the wheat straw outside, play horseback riding, jump lattice, throw sandbags, and chop with kitchen knives.

After the winter vacation, the originally deserted wheat farm was once again filled with joy.

The world of children is extremely simple, but it also has the simplest class distinction.

Zhang Yixing remembers playing house games before. The heroine was always Zhang Xiaoyu and the hero was always Zhang Xiaohu.

Zhang Xiaoyu's father works as a contractor outside. Every time he returns to the village, he carries a small leather bag. He is the first ten thousand-yuan household in the village.

Zhang Xiaohu's family owns a small shop. He is the most envied person by the children because he always has endless snacks in his pocket.

These two people always have the most beautiful clothes and have always been the center of attention among children of the same age.

The same is true today.

Zhang Xiaoyu was the bride and Zhang Xiaohu was the groom. A group of children gathered around them. Some pretended to play the trumpet and some pretended to beat the drum, imitating the wedding scene in a decent way.

Zhang and his party were lying in the wheat straw not far away and watching, looking at these childhood playmates and looking at Zhang Xiuxiu, who was excitedly acting as a crowd of applauding onlookers.

Farther away, several older children were racing.

Riding a large-beam bicycle with leggings can actually make a roaring sound like breaking wind.

"Brother Xingxing, have they come?"

A finger tapped Zhang Yixin's head.

Zhang Yixing shook his head and replied to the child who was hiding in the hole in the wheat straw pile behind him: "I didn't find him!"

The child sighed: "Ah, why haven't you found me for so long? They must be too stupid!"

Zhang Yixing smiled, "Maybe it's because they all went home, so they didn't find you!"

"What, they've all gone home?"

The wheat straw was lifted up behind him. The child pushed Zhang and his party away, who were acting as baffles. He got out of the wheat straw and looked left and right.

Sure enough, all the friends who were playing hide and seek disappeared.

The child stamped his feet angrily and shouted at Zhang Yixing: "Zhang Yixing, why didn't you tell me they left?"

Zhang Yixing plucked away the broken wheat straw that fell on his head and said with a smile: "Zhang Yong, you still owe me six glass balls. Don't lie, pay it back quickly!"

Zhang Yong was immediately discouraged and did not dare to show his temper anymore. He squatted down beside Zhang Yi Xing and said, "Brother Xing Xing, how about I still care about the three of you?"

Zhang Yixing nodded, "Okay, remember to get the latest one for me."

"Oh, let's do it!"

Zhang Yong sighed and suddenly said flatteringly: "Brother Xingxing, how come you suddenly hit the glass ball so accurately? How did you practice it? Do you have any special tricks?"

"Yes, I have!"

"Ah, what's the trick?"

"Fight with masters more often, like me!"

Zhang Yong curled his lips and left the wheat field with a suit of straw.

Haha, a bunch of kids!

Zhang Yixing pinched his pocket hard, and there was a crackling sound inside, filled with glass balls.

He only took two when he went out today, and now he has more than ten in his pocket.

All won today.

He eventually broke his promise and played a game only a child could play.

The culprit who made him break his promise was currently playing house.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Xiaoyu left the wheat field and went home.

A group of children resumed selecting the bride.

Zhang Xiuxiu raised her hands and shouted, "I want to be a bride, I want to be a bride!"

It's a pity that no one paid attention to her.

Zhang Yixing cleared his throat and shouted to Zhang Xiaohu, the most authoritative among the children: "Xiaohu, let Xiuxiu be the bride. I will give you half of the glass ball you owe me!" Zhang Xiaohu looked at the dark skin Zhang Xiuxiu, who was wearing old black clothes, looked at Zhang Yi Xing lying in the wheat straw pile with a troubled expression.

After a long time, Zhang Xiaohu sighed and said to Zhang Xiuxiu: "You come to be the bride!"

Zhang Xiuxiu immediately cheered.

It feels so good to be a creditor!
  Zhang Yi Xing smiled proudly.

Today, he is recognized as the most accurate player of glass balls among his peers.

There are nearly two hundred glass balls in the drawer at home. In the eyes of boys, they are equivalent to currency, and bartering is very popular.

Zhang and his party relied on these glass balls to exchange snacks for his younger sister Zhang Xiuxiu, as well as game slots.

Compared with the pitiful figure who always lowered his head in his memory, Zhang Xiuxiu is much more lively today.

And Zhang Yixing also replaced Zhang Xiaohu as the new children's king.

In the eyes of children of the same age, Zhang Yixing is very good at playing various games, and he also knows many jingles that no one has heard of.

However, Zhang Yixing seems to be very lazy and doesn't really like to play with everyone. Most of the time, everyone plays while he watches.

So on the surface the king of children is still Zhang Xiaohu.

After lying in the wheat straw for more than an hour, the shouts of adults started to sound from the end of the village.

"Xiaohu, it's time to eat!"

"Obviously, go home and eat!"

"Okay, okay, Xiuxiu, let's eat!"

"..."

The wheat field returned to silence amidst the urging of the adults.

After dinner in the evening, Zhang Xiaohu's shout sounded outside the gate.

"Zhang Yixing, Zhang Yixing!"

Zhang walked to the gate and said, "Xiaohu, what's wrong?"

Zhang Xiaohu hesitated and groaned: "Well, Yixing, there are half of the glass balls left, can I exchange them for you with two packs of Tang Monk Meat?"

Zhang Yixing didn't care much at first and said with a smile: "Whatever you want."

Zhang Xiaohu suddenly smiled, took out two packages of Tang Monk meat from his pocket, and dropped one package on the ground.

He quickly handed two packs of Tang Monk Meat to Zhang Yixin, then bent down to collect the ones on the ground. Zhang Xiaohu scratched his head in embarrassment, turned around and ran home.

The road in the countryside is a bit dark, and there are no street lights at this time. Under the bright moonlight, there are shadows everywhere.

Zhang Xiaohu held a flashlight and ran very fast. The sound of his footsteps was very loud in the silent night.

Zhang Yixing shouted, "Xiaohu, run slower, don't fall!"

Zhang Xiaohu didn't look back, as if he was being chased by something. He said yes, and the flashlight in his hand was swung to the ground and fired randomly. After a while, he turned around and disappeared, leaving only the echo of footsteps.

Zhang Yixing smiled. When he was a child, he was afraid of walking at night. He always seemed to hear footsteps behind him and did not dare to look back, for fear of seeing a scary face when he turned around.

After returning to the house, he threw two bags of Tang Monk meat to Zhang Xiuxiu, who immediately became happy.

It's just dried plums.

The lid of the kettle on the charcoal stove jumped up and made a clicking sound.

Li Hongyu, who was sitting on the bed to put away her cotton shoes, quickly got up and got out of bed. She came over and picked up the kettle and said to her son, "Okay, go get the foot warmer."

Zhang Yixing agreed, hurriedly went to the bedroom, took out a bottle from the bed, and then went to another bedroom.

The home now has two bedrooms.

One room is in the main room. The main room is divided into two rooms with two large wardrobes, and a curtain is drawn as a door.

The other room is the west side room with two large beds. Zhang Yixing and Zhang Xiuxiu live here, and grandma will be added to them in the future.

The foot warmers we use now are the kind of medicine bottles used for hanging bottles. The glass is very thick and you can pour hot water into them and put them under the bed to warm the bed.

Zhang and his party carried the three foot-warming bottles back to the main room, uncorked them one by one and placed them on the ground.
