Reborn Country Overlord

Chapter 8 Planning and Vision

Zhang Cuihua put down the things in her hands and washed her hands just in time for dinner at home. Seeing this scene and listening to the woman's praise, a smile appeared on Zhang Tao's mother's expressionless face.

She knew that her second son did all of this. It seemed that this kind of scene had happened continuously for a while, and she couldn't remember the exact date.But these made Zhang Cuihua full of joy and pride—her own children finally became sensible.

But she doesn't like to show off these things to others very much, and it was only by chance that she let others see them today.

Under the reluctant and envious eyes of the woman in the village, Zhang Tao had already cleaned up the kitchen.If she hadn't been in a hurry to go home, it is estimated that the woman not only left after tasting a little dish, but she would have had dinner at Zhang Tao's house before leaving.

Just an ordinary stir-fried cabbage, it seems that Zhang Tao stir-fries flowers, and the taste is much better than her own.This also made the woman unable to praise Zhang Tao even more.Not only did she get good grades in school, but she also did so beautifully in housework. It is estimated that the ears of her two brats will suffer tonight, and they will be destroyed countless times by other children's children.

Then it is estimated that in a short time, the whole neighborhood will know that the son of Zhang Cuihua's family is very sensible. Not only does he get good grades in school, but he is also good at doing housework and so on.

At this time, life in the countryside was relatively monotonous. There were only a few TV sets in the entire village, and on average, there was less than one TV set in a team. Some teams had no TV set and had to go to other villages to watch TV. .

Therefore, most people usually stay at home after eating, while some women go to play with the sweaters they are knitting. The good people sit and chat, chatting about the short things about their parents, and whose children are obedient. Sensible things, such things will be publicized in a short time, and the whole village will know about them.

It was completely dark after dinner, and Zhang Tao immediately lit the kerosene lamp at home.Not many people in Zhang Tao’s nearby villages use electric lights. The electricity bill is too expensive, and they have to pay for the wiring themselves. Most people use kerosene lamps at home.

Widespread access to electricity will have to wait until the end of the year, when the Chinese New Year is approaching. After the hydropower station in the village’s reservoir is completed, the hydropower station was funded by the nearby state-owned coal mine. However, due to the reservoir and land occupation of Huangpu Village, the electricity bills given to them by the mine Each degree is half cheaper than other places, so the nearby villagers all use the electricity here.

In the countryside in deep winter, with orange kerosene lights, Zhang Tao's three brothers and sisters are doing homework around the table by the fire, while Zhang Tao's mother is sitting on the side knitting a sweater for Zhang Yan.

The sweater Zhang Yan is wearing now was worn by Zhang Tao, but because this sweater was worn by Zhang Yong and left to Zhang Tao and then to Zhang Yan, many places have rotted.So Zhang Tao's mother knitted a new sweater for her little daughter when she was not busy at night.

Zhang Yong was listening to something while doing his homework, and Zhang Tao knew what he was listening to when he saw his reaction.He was listening to the sound of the TV set from the only house in the village with a TV set, and it seemed that a martial arts TV series called "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" was playing there at this time.

At this time, the evening programs in the countryside were very boring. Most homes had no electric lights, and there were very few TV sets. Even novels were rare in the countryside.Occasionally, there will be activities for film going to the countryside organized by the above, and that time is the most lively time in the whole village.

All the young and old in the group will be dispatched, and everyone will sit in an open-air square in the village with stools and other things, and then watch the "Railway Guerrilla" and "Plain Gunshots" on it, and occasionally some martial arts movies will be shown.

The most common thing for children at that time was to run behind the movie screen to pick up bullets or swords, but unfortunately they never picked them up.Zhang Tao also did this kind of thing when he was a child. Now that I think about it, I feel that the children at that time were so innocent that people can't help but want to laugh.

On days without movies, I just watch TV. If people in the village have nothing to do, they will go to the only house in the village that has a TV to watch TV.The family who played the TV seemed to want to be lively, and would turn up the sound very loudly when they played the TV series.

Then everyone in the village could hear it. Everyone dropped what they were doing and ran to watch TV dramas.

But Zhang Yong should not think about watching TV tonight, the final exam is coming soon, Zhang Cuihua can't let them watch TV dramas, they have to study hard for the exam.But Zhang Tao didn't respond at all. After decades of nurturing, he didn't like the TV series at this time at all.

"The cold wind is blowing, the snow is falling, the long road is long, walking on a song, looking back at the stars, the past is like a cloud of smoke, I still remember when we parted, leaving only the love in the snow. Love in the snow, love in the snow, dream in the snow is not awakened"

As if to satisfy Zhang Yong, a melody came over soon.As soon as Zhang Yong heard this familiar melody, he was even less in the mood to do his homework. His heart was like a cat scratching, and he turned his eyes to look around, but his face immediately became depressed after seeing other people's reactions.

Zhang Yan and Zhang Tao were honestly doing their homework and preparing for the upcoming final exam. One didn't know whether TV was good or not, and the other was completely uninterested.

And Zhang Cuihua was knitting a sweater while humming to music. After seeing this scene, Zhang Yong knew that no matter how attractive the TV series over there were, he had no part for himself these few nights. He should do his homework honestly. Tomorrow Back to school to listen to others talk about the plot.

Usually, after Zhang Cuihua knits a sweater for a while, she will watch TV with the children, which is also a place for adults in the village to spend their time.But she won't go during this time, because if she doesn't watch the children do their homework, they probably will herd the sheep and follow them secretly to watch TV.

Zhang Tao's homework was finished very quickly. If this kind of simple homework wasn't too much, he could do it faster.I don't know why, but it's been a while since I came to this time and space.

But every night when he saw a family sitting around the table by the fire doing their homework and listening to his mother tell some stories about the past, Zhang Tao couldn't help crying.Years later, the three brothers and sisters grew up and spent less time at home. How could they have this warm feeling despite being poor?
Zhang Cuihua is in a good mood these days, because there is ready-made hot water and hot rice when she comes back every day, and because she doesn’t need to worry about things at home every day, so when knitting, she always hums some things she learned when she was studying. The red song came out.

Zhang Cuihua was the only member of their team who had graduated from elementary school. If she hadn't been implicated in a special sport back then, she should have been the only junior high school student in the team.At that time, their textbooks were to recite quotations from the chairman and sing popular songs, so she could sing a lot of popular songs, and she would coax a few out when she was in a good mood.

For example, what she hums now is "My family has countless cousins, and they don't come to the house for any serious business." This is from "Red Lantern".

There are also "This woman is neither humble nor overbearing" in "Shajiabang" or the local flower drum opera "Da Tonggong Tinkering", which was what they learned in school at that time.After a few years, these songs have been ignored by no one at all, and it seems that the whole people are ready to forget these things from their nightmares.

"Mom." Zhang Tao called softly, waking Zhang Cuihua from the state of singing. "What's wrong? Homework done?"

"Should our family raise more teals next year? There is a reservoir behind our house, and we can put them in the reservoir, so that we can lay a lot of eggs a year and sell them for money."

The teal duck Zhang Tao mentioned is a kind of laying duck, and the feathers all over the body are hemp-colored. At this time, there are not many people raising them in groups near Zhang Tao's house, and they only raise a few free-range.

"Raising teal ducks, don't our family raise these chickens and ducks from time to time for you to eat? If there are too many ducks and no one to take care of them, it won't work." Zhang Tao's mother thought her son wanted to eat duck eggs, so she did it casually. She replied that she didn't have the concept of making money from large-scale farming.

"Someone takes care of them. We let the ducks out when we go to school in the morning, and then feed them. When we come back from school at noon, we can feed them again. Then we can drive them home and feed them again at night. Don't worry. , I'm sure I can see them well."

Without the golden finger, Zhang Tao can only work hard on himself. At this time, Zhang Tao and his duck eggs are very easy to sell, and they cost [-] cents each.The state-run coal mine in the town is still profitable, and the workers of the Sixth Hunan Coal Department are living a good life.

So this has led to the fact that the meat, eggs and poultry in the town are very easy to sell. This is a good income-generating project for Zhang Tao and his family, and it does not require too much investment.

"Well, how many do you think you can keep?" Zhang Cuihua was stunned after asking, as if she had gone too far in discussing with a child like this, and she seemed to have ignored this guy's age.

What can a 9-year-old know?However, Zhang Tao's performance during this period made Zhang Cuihua feel that her son was very sensible, so she subconsciously hoped that her son would give some suggestions.

"You can't raise too many. Let's raise [-] first. If the benefits are good, it will be easier to raise. We can raise more chickens in the future. Chickens are also fine. Anyway, there is a forest behind us, so it's okay to raise more chickens here." It doesn't matter." But Zhang Tao had already made up his mind, and he answered in a very orderly manner.

At this time, it depends on the sky to raise chickens and ducks. Once the chickens and ducks get sick, basically there are not many effective medicines to treat them. Except for a universal oxytetracycline and chicken plague powder, there are no other medicines, so Zhang Tao didn't dare to say too much at once, so that if something bad happened, the loss would be small.
