Chapter 66 Zhang An’s Little Game (please collect and recommend)
Zhang An returned home and found his mother.
"Mom, you have to prepare meals tomorrow. Chen Ze is going to bring five or six friends to our place to play. Then we will have lunch and dinner at our house. You may have to work harder, cooking for many people. "Food."
"Ah, are they coming tomorrow? How many dishes do they want me to make?"
Wang Fang still heard her son say that someone was coming to eat at home tomorrow. She wasn't used to it, so she asked Zhang An what he needed to do.
“Just make normal home-cooked meals. Those people are used to eating big fish and meat. Let’s make some vegetables and radishes, maybe people will find them delicious. Anyway, I’ll get up and go to the mountains tomorrow. I’ll have some by then. Just do whatever you want.”
By the way, you can pick up some lobsters. They must have never eaten spicy crayfish now. It will make their eyes shine when the time comes.
Looking at the group of dolls playing with the Dahua family in his yard, Zhang An called them over.
"Zhang Tie, you guys come here, let me tell you something."
Zhang An brought a bench to sit in the yard. A group of children heard Zhang An calling them, Everyone gathered around, it was like a meeting.
"I have a good thing coming for you. Are you willing to do it?"
When they heard Zhang An say that he had a good thing, everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"Brother An, tell me what you want us to do."
"Well, it's still early now, you can go to the ditch to catch prawns, and then when the sun goes down, You can bring as many as you want to me. I'll charge you three for ten cents. But I want the big ones, at least as long as a crop. I don't want the small ones. Do you want to earn this money? Or not? Go catch it in the river.”
A group of kiddies were very happy after hearing this. They can now make money like the adults at home.
"We are willing to pick it up, Brother An, do you want to go now?"
"Yes, go now. By the way, this is what I use to test you. Don't let adults help. Don't steal other people's things, or I won't accept them. Do you hear me? Things are done.
Now I can be lazy again.
After receiving Zhang An's order, a group of children went home and took a small bamboo basket and ran to the ditch of Tianba.
The adults who came back from visiting the fields on the road felt a little strange why these dolls went into the ditch to look for things today.
I originally thought I was catching loaches, but I didn’t expect that I was catching prawns.
But as long as they don’t go play in the river, the rest is up to them.
When it was time to have dinner in the evening, the sun was just setting.
Zhang An even went to the canteen to change some change and came back.
Looking at a bunch of dolls standing and waiting in their yard, maybe their teacher didn’t know they would be so obedient.
Zhang An gave full play to their subjective initiative.
"Come on, come on, line up, the first one comes first."
Beside Zhang An, there was a big basin and a small basin.
"Pour the prawns in your cage into the small basin and count them. Make sure you count them correctly. If you count them incorrectly, you will be deducted money."
This made a group of children nervous. The teacher usually checks their homework. Not even that worried.
In the end, Zhang Tie came up first and poured the lobsters in the cage into the basin.
Hey, that’s quite a lot.
I heard Zhang Tie start counting one, two, three, four, five.
"Brother An, I have thirty-eight here."
Zhang An glanced at them and quickly finished counting.
"Zhang Tie, please continue to count, how many are there."
Zhang Tie continued to count, this time in a low voice.
“Only thirty-seven, Brother An.”
"You counted one wrongly. I said I would deduct money, so I will deduct one and count you at thirty-six, okay."
"Yeah, okay, okay."
"Well, then you can calculate how much thirty-six is."
This time Zhang Tie was much more serious and was still calculating on the ground with his fingers dipped in water.
"Brother An, it's twelve cents, one dollar and twenty cents"
"Well, it's right this time." Zhang An took out a piece of one piece and a piece of two cents and gave them to him .
At this time, some adults came to see the baby at home for dinner.
But seeing Zhang An do this, they didn’t understand what Zhang An meant at first.
I only knew that my baby had never been so good and obedient before. She didn't even take her homework so seriously. I stood and watched for a long time before I understood why Zhang An did this. So I waited quietly in the yard. Later, several houses came and they all watched from there.
"Alright, next one, Xiao Maotou, it's your turn." Zhang An poured the lobsters from the small basin into the big basin and began to call the names.
Zhang An clicked on a little guy with long braids on his head.
It is said that the hair should be kept until the age of twelve, and then the hair should be shaved, and the maternal uncle would have to come with a big red envelope.
This is also a person who is usually naughty and mischievous.
I only saw him pouring out the lobsters from his cage and counting them carefully. After the last count, he counted them again.
With Zhang Tie's precedent, everyone was more cautious in the past.
"Brother An, I've counted them. I have twenty-five here."
Zhang An counted them, and yes, they were twenty-five.
"Well, that's right. Then calculate how much it will cost."
"Well, nine cents, no, six cents."
This little kid, at first glance, seemed to have failed to memorize the multiplication tables seriously when the teacher asked him to.
“You little guy, you didn’t memorize the multiplication table well, three eight twenty four, you are twenty-five, you made a mistake, I will deduct one from you, okay?”
"Okay, okay."
Xiao Maotou nodded crazily. This was the first time he had made money by himself, so he smiled very happily.
Zhang An counted the eighty cents and handed it over, "Next time, remember to memorize the multiplication tables and listen carefully to the teacher in class."
"Okay, next one."
In this way, seven or eight children collected lobsters, and everyone made some mistakes, some were careless, and some did not learn well.
Until the last one, it was a little girl.
“Oh, it’s time for the little glutinous rice balls. Come and count how many you have.”
Little glutinous rice balls is the little girl’s nickname. Her nickname is Tang Xiaoyuan. This little girl is quite Poor.
Her mother ran away with her when she was two years old, leaving her to live with her father.
In this era, everyone is introduced by a matchmaker and gets married through acquaintances. Although most of them live together, there are still a few exceptions.
The little girl looks six or seven years old, one year older than Zhang Yan.
"Uncle Xiao An, I have fifteen here, but I can't figure out how much they are. You can take one from me."
The little girl looked at Zhang An with her big eyes. , carefully counted several times.
The people in front of me would be deducted if they calculated wrongly. She couldn't figure it out and would definitely be deducted, so she took the initiative to tell Zhang An.
"Haha, I won't deduct the dumplings. You are only in the first grade and have not learned multiplication and division. How could uncle deduct you? Let me see, there are no mistakes in fifteen, which is fifty cents. You If you count correctly at such a young age, uncle will reward you with a dime, come and get it.”
Little Tangyuan’s father was also at the door, and it was still a bit sad to see this scene. My daughter is so sensible. She felt bad, and no one was so kind to her, including Xiao Tangyuan's grandparents, who all despised her for being a girl.
So he is very grateful to Zhang An on weekdays. If there is anything at Zhang An's family, he will come to help whenever he has time.
Little Tangyuan also saw her father. After getting the money, she ran over and handed the money to her father.
"Dad, please leave it alone."
In the past, children like Zhang Tie were unwilling to take her to play, because they thought she was a motherless child and a slug.
But when Zhang An found out later, he gave them a lesson. From then on, they were willing to play with the dumplings.
After all the payments were successful, Zhang An looked at the group of dolls.
“Many of you have been deducted today, but you have to think about it, this is something you learn at your age. My little glutinous rice balls are only in the first grade, and I can count them correctly, especially you Zhang Tie, there will be this kind of work for you next time, and I will deduct your money if you count again. Okay, let’s go back to eat.”
Under the grateful looks of each parent, Zhang An said. They were all sent away.
Although Zhang An basically deducted one or two prawns from everyone.
But everyone in the village is not ignorant, and they all understand why Zhang An did what he did.
Moreover, the ditches in the village are full of such prawns. Zhang An really wants to carry his own bucket and pick up as many as he wants.
I have never spent only seven or eight yuan to play with these children. Besides, this money is a lot of money.
They understood that Zhang An just wanted to let the children in the village know that it makes sense to study hard.
After gathering so many lobsters, Zhang An found a net to put them in and put them in the small fish pond.
When Chen Ze and the others come tomorrow, they will serve the pot.
