"Brother An, if you have time, please help me make something."
Zhang Tie quietly walked up to Zhang An and said something.
"What's going on?"
Zhang An looked at this guy sneaking around, as if he had committed something.
"If you have time, help me make a pinball car."
As Zhang Tie spoke, he took out three bright marbles, one large and two small, from his schoolbag and placed them in front of Zhang An.
"Where did you get this?"
These marbles are generally not available in villages and can only be sold in towns.
"Hey, I asked Brother Erbin to buy this for me."
It turned out that Zhang An often asked these kids to do simple things and gave them some pocket money.
Unexpectedly, this guy Zhang Tie actually saved up everything.
It’s not like before, when you have money, you just spend it in the store.
Zhang An guessed that his third uncle and third aunt didn't know about this.
Fortunately for the third uncle, if the third aunt knew that the Zhang Tie brothers had some money, they would have confiscated it long ago.
This guy saw that Zhang Bao's house had made a marble tricycle for Zhang Bao, and he was very greedy.
So I took advantage of Zhang Bin's return and asked him to help buy some when he went to school in the county town.
No, Zhang Tie came with the marbles and asked Zhang An to help him make a marble cart.
Now among the children in the village, only Zhang Bao owns a pinball cart.
His grandfather made it for him because he loved him.
No one else had it, mainly because marbles cost money and had to be sold only in the town or county.
But when you go to town, adults won't spend money on it.
Whoever has money these days doesn't just break a penny in half and spend it.
So now whoever owns a pinball car is the most handsome boy among the children in the village.
Although the dolls in the village have many ways to entertain themselves.
Most boys like playing tops, bouncing glass beads, rolling in circles, jumping back and smashing cardboard.
There are also many girls, jumping into the sea, catching five balls, jumping rubber bands and so on.
Games played by multiple people include hide-and-seek, catch the blind man, and play house.
There is no shortage of entertainment options.
But they don't have any toys, and it's very refreshing to see these things.
Zhang An's family bought Zhang An a small wind-up toy car before, but it made the children in the village envious.
But what's the use of envy? I don't dare to ask for it when I get home.
I didn’t see Zhang Bao sitting on that pinball car every day, followed by a group of dolls shouting "Little Bao Brother, Little Bao Brother, Little Bao Brother".
She was still helping push him away from behind, just to get Zhang Bao's favor.
If Zhang Bao is happy, he will give them the car to play with for a while, and they can become addicted to luxury cars.
Some children even started fighting over cars to play with.
Zhang An thought that there was nothing to do now, so he agreed.
It doesn’t take much time to make a pinball car anyway.
Then I spent a long time rummaging through boxes and cabinets at home to find all the tools and materials.
Take out a piece of wood, mark the size, and start processing it with an ax and saw.
Zhang An planned to use wood to make a large triangular frame. After it was firmly fixed, he would then nail wooden boards to it.
"What are you planning to do again?"
Zhang An's actions were noticed by Zhang Jianguo who came back, and he asked curiously.
"Didn't Zhang Tie ask me to make a pinball car for him? I thought it would be fine, so I made it for him."
"You, just spoil the little ones."
Zhang Jianguo shook his head, his son always responded to the requests of the younger ones in the family.
"Anzi, you can't cut everything here, you have to leave some residue, otherwise the marble will fall off when you put it on."
Zhang Jianguo saw that his son had almost finished sawing a whole piece of wood, and he quickly issued a reminder.
In the end, I still couldn't stand it anymore, so I took over the work from Zhang An and started doing it.
In fact, what Zhang An did was pretty good, but it didn't look that good when done.
When adults make these things, even if they are children's toys, they also want them to look good.
With Zhang Jianguo taking over, a pinball cart was soon ready.
Zhang Tie is now much more sensible than before, and he didn't drag him away as soon as he saw the car was finished.
Instead, I went home, took out a broom, and swept away the wood chips that I had cut down when I was making the car before leaving.
"Zhang Tie, don't play in steep places, or I'll tear it down for you."
This pinball car is great, children can play with it, and it can also be used to drag things around the house.
But there is an irreparable shortcoming, it has no braking function.
You can only rely on two feet to brake, so it is a bit dangerous to play on steep slopes.
Anyway, few people who play this thing have never fallen.
But now the baby's skin is very strong, and he won't cry when he falls.
Speaking of this matter, Zhang Anke has experience. He used to climb trees and dig out bird's nests with others.
I fell from the tree and broke a few big holes in my legs. Not to mention crying.
I didn't even dare to say anything when I got home. If I did, I would be beaten.
When I was washing my feet at the end, I was discovered by Wang Fang.
This is nothing, there are more people in the village than Zhang Anyong.
"I understand."
Zhang Tie heard his elder brother's instructions and quickly responded.
Because if he disobeys, Zhang An will really kill him, not just talk.
After dinner in the evening, Zhang An lay on the bed.
Then I remembered that the jelly grass I had cut back during the day, and the kiwi and walnut trees I dug during the day were still in the space.
After entering the space, Huabao's family of three seemed to be able to feel Zhang An entering.
He ran out of the grass and stuck out his tongue around Zhang An.
Especially the two little leopards, how come they look like dogs now.
When he saw Zhang An, he stuck out his tongue. If he were outside, he would not be called a gangster.
Zhang An didn't play with them. He found an open space, rubbed out the rapeseed of jelly grass and sprinkled it on the ground.
Soon it sprouted and grew out of the ground.
Then Zhang An planted several trees near the cherry tree.
Someone bought kiwi fruit today, which made Zhang An feel that this matter could be dealt with.
Zhang An has never considered this aspect, mainly because he was influenced by the inertial thinking of later generations.
I just realized now that few people have started planting kiwi fruit on a large scale yet.
If you build this thing now, many people should be willing to buy it by then.
I'll ask my two uncles some other time to see if they are willing to do it.
The stall I have now is big enough, so I don’t need to think about anything else for the time being.
It's time to take care of the family of my two biological uncles.
If the two uncles are not willing to do it, Zhang An will talk to the old uncle about it.
In Zhang An's opinion, this matter is quite promising, it just depends on whether everyone dares to try it.
Zhang An, who woke up in the morning and had a refreshing sleep, is now very energetic.
Today Zhang An plans to take Huatou out to meet people, so he needs to let him get used to it.
And I also want to tell everyone, don’t make the wrong call when you see Lao Yazi in the future.
Zhang An brought the flower head out of the space, and it was very happy in the space these days.
Compared with the previous flower heads, the current flower heads are stronger.
You can tell just from its larger body shape and sharp eyes.
As soon as Huatou came out and saw Zhang An, a shocking eagle cry was heard in Zhang An's ears.
This guy must have not seen Zhang An for a long time. When he came out and saw Zhang An, he seemed a little excited.
It was happy, but Zhang An's ears suffered a lot.
Zhang An had to rub his ears and warn Huatou not to cause further noise pollution.
After being warned by Zhang An's eyes, Huatou also knew that he would be beaten if he made trouble again.
So now it is standing obediently on Zhang An's shoulder, and it has been beaten to the point where it has a shadow in its heart.
The other animals in the house are fine, and they are not too afraid of Hua Tou.
But for poultry like chickens and ducks, this is suppression in the blood.
In later generations, Zhang An heard that there was a man who raised some chickens at home, but was frightened to death by an eagle in the sky. He didn't know if it was true.
Fortunately, Zhang An's chickens, chickens, and ducks are all in the old yard, not here.
Otherwise, Zhang An estimated that the little ones would be trembling with fear even if they were not frightened to death by the hawk's chirping.
Zhang An walked out of the courtyard with a flower head on his arm, and was seen by many people, which attracted many people to watch.
Many fishermen are not even in a hurry to grab fishing spots, but come to join in the fun.
"Brother, do you want to sell this eagle?"
Zhang An followed the voice and saw that it was a man in his thirties who asked.
It can be seen from the clothes he wears that the conditions in this man's family are extraordinary.
Zhang An didn't say anything, just smiled at him and shook his head.
"Brother, don't refuse in a hurry. As long as you are willing to sell it, you can sell it for any price. I promise not to pay back a penny."
"Old man, this is not a question of whether I can sell it or not. I made this eagle. Even if you take it, you can only keep it in a cage. It won't listen to you."
"Ah, that's right."
This person only reacted when he heard what Zhang An said.
Originally, he thought that the eagle had been trained and he could take it out to play as long as he paid for it.
He didn't expect that there was such a thing here. He really didn't come into contact with this much.
"It's true. This eagle, after it has been boiled, it will only listen to the person who boiled the eagle. It will be of no use to others."
After everyone's explanation, this person finally understood.
This is now. If the Internet is developed in future generations, everyone will know much more information than now.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I was abrupt."
Zhang An said it was nothing and chatted a few more words with this group of people, but mostly they praised Zhang An again.
Finally, Zhang An used the excuse that the flower head was too heavy and said that it was too much to stand all the time and he had to go back.
After Zhang An left, the people around him dispersed and went back to fishing.
"Hey, Anzi, you old kite got over it?"
Mr. Huang walked towards him and looked at the flowers on Zhang An's shoulders with envy in his eyes.
"It's over. Let's take it out to meet people today, so as not to be nervous when seeing people later. It's all thanks to the dragnet you taught me, Second Master, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch this guy."
Zhang An respected Mr. Huang from the bottom of his heart. After all, there was a master-disciple relationship.
"You have to learn it on your own. I've taught so many people, but not many of them have mastered it. But I didn't expect you to survive it. I've been caught before and wanted to survive it, but I didn't expect it to end."
Suffer it to death, tell me how you survived it."
Hearing this, Zhang An wanted to laugh. In the past, Mr. Huang had caught several old kites, and as everyone said, he kept eye to eye with them and kept them awake without sleeping. Unexpectedly, the eagle didn't survive, but instead kept the old kites alive.
dead.
Another time, nothing happened to Old Yaozi, but Mr. Huang himself had a problem.
From then on, he stopped doing this thing and almost sent himself away. He couldn't do it again.
Zhang An didn't survive at all, so it's really hard for Zhang An to say anything about Mr. Huang's problem.
But if he didn't say it, Zhang An was afraid that Mr. Huang would feel that he didn't want the news to spread, so he didn't say it. In this way, Mr. Huang would be estranged in his heart in the future.
If Zhang An makes random remarks, but he is worried that Mr. Huang will actually do it, it will easily cause trouble.
"Second Master, I didn't suffer much. I just locked it in a black cage for a few days and starved it for a while."
Zhang An finally made up a few nonsense words and made up a way not to upset people.
And Zhang An was right, he didn't endure it very well in the first place.
The method Zhang An used himself is impossible for others to copy.
Unless someone has such a space themselves.
"Second Master, please don't mess around. I'm really lucky this time. If you always come here blindly, I won't be able to explain to Second Grandma Huang."
Zhang An was worried, so he gave Mr. Huang a warning.
But Zhang An said this, and he was not afraid that Mr. Huang would mess around on his own.
Even if Mr. Huang goes to boil it by himself, the most he can do is burn another old kite to death.
Mr. Huang didn't know whether he heard it or not, so he left by himself.
Zhang An returned to the old courtyard, where Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo were making corn paste.
"Today our family is going to make rice cakes."
These are buds broken off from the ground, but they are still tender and tender.
It can only be used to make pulp or cooked, dried and fried to eat.
Just like peanuts, it can be used to drink wine. Zhang An and his friends call it Yinbao Valley.
"Isn't it true that there are so many young bracts left in our field, and we can't eat much even if we cook them. I said I would cook them and sell them, but your dad also said that I had no time to spare, so I just pureed them all.
Make rice cakes and eat them."
Many people in the village went to sell this and that every day. Wang Fang saw that everyone was making money, and she couldn't sit still at home.
If you don't make money when others make money, you always feel that you are losing money.
Although she said that she would occasionally have guests at home and asked her to cook and entertain them.
This money is much more than the maids in the village selling snacks.
But when no one came, Wang Fang just couldn't sit still.
"Oh, I didn't say that. Mom, you are waiting at home. People come to buy eggs every day. If you can't collect dozens of dollars in one day, why are you trying to compete with others for business?"
There are only a few people by the river, and even those selling things are still saturated.
If just a few people sell it, they can still make a lot of money. If more people go there, and everyone shares it, it won't actually be much money.
If you intervene in this matter, others won't say anything to your face, but they will definitely blame you for stealing business later.
Now the most profitable people by the river are the families of Zhou Yang and Zhang Jianzhong. These two families make a lot of money selling rice.
But there is no other way. People have good craftsmanship and the food they make is delicious. People like to sell their food.
For other families, they are just idle to earn a little money to support their families.
So Zhang An doesn't recommend that his mother run around by the river.
Now there are more and more eggs in Zhang An's house every day. There are a large group of ducks and a large group of chickens.
Including the geese brought by Mrs. Huang at that time, more than a dozen have been hatched now.
Every day Wang Fangguang picks up chickens, ducks and goose eggs, and he picks up a large frame, estimated to be fifty or sixty.
"Don't talk about your mother. She just can't sit still. You should quickly find a wife and give her a baby to hold. I'm sure she won't go anywhere."
Zhang An didn't expect that while he was helping to persuade his mother, his father stabbed him in the back.
"Hey, that's right. If you quickly find a wife and give me a grandson, I won't go anywhere and will take care of the baby at home every day."
Wang Fang became excited when she heard Zhang Jianguo say this.
In her eyes, money is not as important as finding a wife for her son or giving birth to a grandson for herself.
Upon seeing this, Zhang An immediately started pretending to be dead.
He stopped talking and let his parents say whatever they wanted.
