Chapter 198 God of War who stays up late: Gray Ball
Seeing this old-fashioned desk, many scenes from the past came to Zhang An's mind.
On such a desk, some people will draw a 38-point line, and no two people at the same table are allowed to cross the line.
From elementary school to high school, Zhang An met several such classmates.
There are also many people who may be often late, so after reading the text.
Carve the word "morning" on the corner of the table to remind yourself not to be late again.
Or some boys, who have strong hands-on skills but have trouble with their hands, insist on digging a hole in the table.
I believe many friends born in the 1970s, 1970s, 1978s and 1990s have such memories.
Also, in winter, sometimes the weather is so cold that my hands will be so frozen that I can’t write.
And there is no money to buy woolen gloves at home, so many students will get a paint bucket.
Make a few holes on the side, tie a long wire on top, then burn a fire in the bucket and take it to school.
When I got to the classroom, I put the fire bucket under the desk. When my hands got cold during class, I would put them under it to bake.
Even more extreme people carry a few potatoes and sweet potatoes in their pockets.
Just put it in and bake it during class, and then it will be cooked and taken out to eat when get out of class is over.
I am not afraid of being discovered by the teacher. There are also students who have a teacher.
Not to mention the past, even now Zhang Tie and the others are still doing this.
Last winter, Zhang An could still see several children making fires on the way to school.
Carrying a paint bucket, swinging it around in circles, using the inertial wind to light a fire.
Zhang An also did this when he was a child. At that time, Zhang An was too lazy to light a fire.
He took a ball of fire out of his own coal stove, but ended up extinguishing the fire in the coal stove, and was punished by Wang Fang.
Because there were so many people, it didn’t take long to unload the cart of desks.
Zhang An thought they were gone and was about to go home when the old uncle quickly called them to stop and said he would go to the town to pull them over.
Because this time, more than 200 desks were purchased for Changqing Middle School.
Judging from the fact that this car can pull forty or fifty tickets at a time, Zhang An probably has to make four or five trips back and forth.
Hearing that it was going to continue later, no one was in a hurry to go back and started walking around the school.
Especially those who have children at home who are going to be in the first grade of junior high school this year. They have already gone to the classroom and looked here and there.
"Jianye, will your Tiewazi study in the village or in the town this year?"
Several people in the village who were about the same age as Uncle Zhang An gathered together to chat.
"It must be in the village. It's so far to the town, and I can't usually take care of it."
Many people are worried that there will be no teachers in the village, but Zhang Jianye is not worried.
In this regard, he is quite reassured by his superiors. Since he has decided to open this school, it will definitely solve the teacher's problem.
"Your Tiewazi's grades are so good, I thought you would let him go to the town."
Zhang An heard this correctly. Some people are exaggerating that the iron test scores are good.
Nowadays, it is rare to see a red cross in Zhang Tie's homework book.
The scores in these exams were all over 90 points.
From being at the bottom of the crane industry before, I was suddenly at the top.
At this year's parent-teacher meeting, Uncle Zhang An was praised again by the teacher.
"Regardless of whether my grades are good or bad, I think there is not much difference between going to the town and living in the village."
Uncle Zhang had asked Zhang An this question before, and now he was bragging to everyone and talking about it quite eloquently.
"Children at this age are too playful. If they go to town and no one cares about them, they will probably stop playing in a few days. It's better for us to take care of ourselves in the village."
"Besides, it's a good thing for us that the higher-ups set up a school here. It's impossible for other places to set up schools in their own villages."
After listening to Zhang Jianye's words, many undecided parents now have a choice in mind.
What Zhang Jianye said makes sense. It is impossible to go to school in your own village anywhere else.
When I arrived at my place, I was still picking and choosing. Before I could live such a good life, I started to dislike this and that.
"Then our Xiaojun lets him get fucked in the village. It's really hard to control him when he travels so far."
"Let me tell you, don't worry about the teachers. Since the country has opened this school, why doesn't it still provide teachers? It's really a waste of time to worry about it."
Send the baby to the town, but you will have to pay more for living expenses and accommodation.
In this day and age, this sum of money is quite a lot.
So after receiving the news that Changqing Middle School was re-opened, everyone thought it was a good thing.
While we were chatting, the driver had already driven over.
Everyone did not continue to disperse and brag, but finished their work quickly so that they could rest early later.
After working for more than two hours, we finally finished unloading more than 200 sets of tables and chairs.
Zhang An returned home and found his mother looking for something in the yard with a flashlight.
"Mom, what are you looking for in the yard this late at night?"
Zhang An also thought that he had dropped something and wanted to come over and help find it.
"I'm not looking for anything. There was a big rat scurrying here just now. I'm looking for where the rat hole is."
Seeing Zhang An back, Wang Fang straightened up and spoke to Zhang An with a frown.
"Xiao An, in the past few months, there have been more and more rats in our yard. They used to come out only at night, but now they run outside during the day. The troughs for feeding chickens at home are all covered.
Got chewed up by them."
"Is this rat so vicious?"
Zhang An usually didn't pay attention to it, but he only found out about it when his mother talked about it.
It turns out that when the house was first built, there were quite a few rats.
After being killed by Zhang An in advance, there was not much movement of rats in this area.
Unexpectedly, not long after this, they started to come out again.
"There are a lot of them. After you went out just now, I saw a few big rats outside, dragging a bunch of small rats running in the yard."
Zhang An's family didn't sell any grain this year, so they all piled it up at home.
Wang Fang really couldn't bear to see so many mice wandering around the house.
Even if there is only one Mimi in the house, I can't stand such a mouse.
"Mom, don't worry about this, I will take care of it."
Zhang An thought of the owl Mr. Huang gave him last year.
This guy is still in the space, it's time to bring it out to shine and exploit it.
Zhang An wants to let him know that he does not raise useless idlers here.
Owls are natural enemies of mice. If they are around, your home will be cleaner.
After all, there is a field next to Zhang An's house, which contains not only voles, but also other bugs and snakes.
Zhang An went to the old house and took the opportunity to take the owl out of the space.
I haven’t seen him for a long time. This owl looks very strong.
When Zhang An took it in, it had not even lost its fur.
It's night now, and this guy's eyes don't look too good.
When Zhang An took it out, it imitated the appearance of the flower head and interacted closely with Zhang An.
From now on, there will be a flower head during the day and a cat head at night. They will be the day and night door gods of Zhang An's family.
Zhang An thought about giving this owl a name. After all, he was the night god of war in his family.
"From now on you will be called Gray Ball."
After exhausting the few brain cells in Zhang An's brain, Zhang An finally came up with a name.
Zhang An said while caressing the owl's big furry head.
Not to mention, there are so many feathers on the gray ball head.
Originally, Zhang An thought of calling it black charcoal or briquettes.
It turns out that this owl is covered in gray feathers, so calling someone "black coal" or "briquettes" is somewhat impolite.
So Zhang An changed it a little bit. After all, the name Gray Ball has something to do with it.
I'll save the names black carbon and briquettes for next time. After all, I killed a lot of brain cells before I came up with them.
Zhang An put the gray ball in the nest and took its nest home.
"Where did you get the night owl?"
Zhang Jianguo frowned a little as he watched Zhang An holding the gray ball.
"Er Master Huang picked this up last year and gave it to me. I have been keeping it in the old house."
Mainly because the owl's hoot is so scary sometimes.
Under normal circumstances, it makes a "cooing" sound, but sometimes it will laugh, which is very scary depending on the night environment.
Moreover, this thing also holds a grudge, so Zhang Jianguo doesn't like to see it.
"Didn't my mother say today that there were too many mice in our yard at night, so I moved it here? This guy is as good at catching mice as Mimi."
Zhang An explained it to his father, and then placed the gray ball under the eaves of the third floor.
In order to avoid being exposed to strong light during the day, Zhang An also specially provided a backlight for it.
"Mom, don't worry now. There are gray balls in our house, and these mice will suffer a lot at night."
Wang Fang had no doubts about him. Everyone was from the mountains and knew the ability of owls to catch mice.
"Then why don't we feed it at home?"
During this time, Wang Fang would often feed Huatou some meat as a snack.
Now that this owl is considered a member of his family, Wang Fang wonders if he should feed it too.
"There's no need to feed it specially. There are so many mice around our house, it's enough for it to eat every day."
Zhang An didn't want to feed it too much, otherwise it would only sleep and not work.
"We'll wait until there are no more mice. Besides, it sleeps during the day and won't eat even if you feed it."
Zhang An watched TV with his parents in the main room for a while.
Then the phone at home rang, and it turned out to be Su Ying calling.
It's already the end of June, and Su Ying called to tell Zhang An.
This weekend, I don’t have to go to school again.
Because the county has final exams on the two days at the end of the month, they, the teachers, have to invigilate the exams.
Moreover, after taking the exam, she still had to mark the papers and score them, so it was estimated that Su Ying would not have time for more than a week.
Of course Zhang An doesn't have any objections. He just can't go there when Su Ying is busy.
After the two said a few words on the phone, Su Ying hung up the phone.
She is in school now and calls to go to the canteen outside the school.
It was not convenient for the two of them to talk outside, so I finished talking to Zhang An and hung up the phone.
Before nine o'clock, a popping sound began to be heard outside.
Zhang An got up and went out to take a look. Although it was dark outside, the moonlight was not that bright tonight.
But Zhang An, with his excellent eyesight, could still see that Gray Ball had caught a fat mouse and was now pressing it to the ground.
Wang Fang also came out with Zhang An, but she couldn't see clearly.
I wanted to turn on the flashlight to see what was going on, but Zhang An stopped me before I could do anything.
"Mom, don't turn on the flashlight. It's Gray Ball who caught the mouse, the boss one."
After all, the gray ball is photophobic and can only accept a little bit of weak light.
And Zhang An's flashlight is a strong flashlight, and Hui Qiu will definitely not be able to bear it when the light is turned on.
If it doesn't affect Gray Ball later, it would be more than worth the loss if the big Jerry escapes.
Although he was pinned to the ground, the mouse did not give up and kept struggling.
But this is of no use. After all, Gray Ball is said to be invincible at his own weight, and of course it is at night.
Although this mouse is fat, compared with the gray ball, it is nothing more than a piece of cake.
Just after taking over the gray ball, Zhang An also turned off the street lights outside in order to let it adapt to the environment in advance.
Unexpectedly, just a short while later, Gray Ball had already begun to gain results.
Zhang An couldn't help but pay a moment of silence for the rats and mice in his family. They may have a difficult life in the future.
When Wang Fang heard Zhang An say that the owl at home had caught a big mouse, she was extremely happy.
There were still some grudges against Gray Ball, but now they have disappeared.
Gray Ball seemed to be quite smart. He knew that this mouse was relatively big and didn't drag it away in a hurry.
Instead, he pressed it to the ground and rubbed it until the mountain mouse in his paws stopped moving, then flew back to the nest with it in his mouth.
Early the next morning, before Zhang An got up, he heard his mother yelling from downstairs.
Zhang An thought something had happened, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and ran downstairs.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Zhang An and his father came out at the same time. As soon as they went out, they saw several rows of dead rats in the yard.
Zhang An didn't count them in detail, but he estimated there were about ten or twenty.
And they are also arranged in order, from largest to smallest.
"It's nothing, I just got tricked by these rats."
Anyone who wakes up early in the morning and finds so many dead rats at the door will feel shuddering.
When Zhang An saw these dead mice, he also guessed the reason.
Just when he raised his head, he found that Hui Qiu was still standing on the davidia tree at the door.
This guy probably did it, claiming credit from Zhang An in this way.
"It must have been caught by Gray Ball. This guy didn't sleep all night. He must have been catching it."
Seeing so many dead mice, Zhang An realized that there were actually a lot of mice in his house.
But this gray ball is so capable, it can kill so many in one night.
These are enough for the mommy at home to work hard for a week.
"Although night owls eat mice, Xiao An is really good at catching them."
Although Wang Fang was shocked, she was more happy.
With so many mice dead in the house, it will probably be quiet for a long time.
After all, as a rural person, there are few people who don't hate mountain rats.
Because there are so many of these things, you will be hungry when they are full.
Now Wang Fang looked at the gray ball on the tree opposite and was even more satisfied with this little thing with a big head.
Zhang An waved his hand and told Hui Qiu to go back to his nest and sleep.
Recharge your batteries during the day and continue to work hard at night.
