Courtyard House: Drunk and tipsy, the whole courtyard exposed at the start.

The street office's promotion was very effective and spread to other streets as well. In this day and age, everyone is trying to save themselves. Director Wang benefited from Zhang Dabiao's success, and the Jiaodaokou Street Office received praise in the district.

Then Dongcheng District also gave Zhang Dabiao a certificate of merit—"Little Life Expert"?

Zhang Dabiao looked at the award banners on the wall—"Little Inventor," "Life Skills Expert," "Excellent Student," and "Active Community Resident"—as well as the commendation letter from the Municipal Public Security Bureau…

He was considering a question: "Is 'Life Hacks' a district-level program?"

Can I get extra points on the college entrance exam?

Also, next time you're going to give out certificates of merit, could you please omit the word "small" before it?

I'm really big! The kind that would scare all the men at the public bathhouse!

Qin Jingru has been extremely busy lately, cooking, making cakes and cookies every day. In addition to studying and reviewing, Zhang Dabiao also has to make fish food and bait.

Regardless of whether there are young people in the yard who want to exchange for it, he also needs to use it to raise fish in his own fishpond.

As for the drugs used in fish farming, there's nothing we can do about it; we can only leave it to fate.

Quicklime is a basic disinfectant that can be used to clean and disinfect ponds, regulate water quality, increase pH value, and improve bottom sediment.

This was already done when we were cleaning up the small courtyard.

The bleaching powder and copper sulfate mentioned in the PDF document were planned resources; forget about them, they were completely unavailable.

Furthermore, there are no florfenicol, avermectin, enrofloxacin, povidone-iodine, or chlorine dioxide at all.

Therefore, Zhang Dabiao adopted the method of traditional Chinese medicine—

After crushing the garlic, I mix it with the feed and use it to prevent bacterial enteritis. Luckily, there's a box of garlic in my "little nest" kitchen, and there's some that's been sitting in the corner for who knows how long. I refresh this stuff every day and I have enough.

Then, use rhubarb, tallow tree leaves, and mugwort leaves: decoct them, and then sprinkle the liquid throughout the pond, utilizing their natural chemical components to inhibit bacteria and parasites. These can only be purchased from a traditional Chinese medicine shop. Other herbs include scutellaria and phellodendron, which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties; rhubarb, used to prevent bacterial mumps; and gallnut, used to prevent whitehead and white mouth disease…

After finding this information, Zhang Dabiao finally understood why Director Wang said no one was raising fish anymore. Aquatic product companies could only leave it to fate. If ordinary people raised fish, they would all die out if they weren't careful—there was basically no cure.

So Zhang Dabiao could only leave the rest to fate.

As for why Zhang Dabiao's NAS server stores this data...

When downloading, especially when transferring from Alibaba Cloud Drive, I just click on PDFs with interesting names. Then the NAS automatically syncs with Alibaba Cloud Drive, Baidu Cloud Drive, etc., and it downloads automatically 24/7, since there's plenty of space.

Seeing is one thing, looking is another, right?

Let's not even talk about things like fishkeeping, fishing, plant guides, pet encyclopedias, origami encyclopedias, family health encyclopedias, geomancy, folk customs, wilderness survival rules, recipes, color charts, furniture design...

He even downloaded a lot of publicly available information, including illustrations of cold weapons, modern weapons, submarines, aircraft carriers, fourth-generation fighters, and fifth-generation fighters, but it was all useless.

You can't expect an art student to make this by hand, can you? There are only pictures without detailed parameters and manufacturing processes. Zhang Dabiao just uses these as reference materials for his drawings.

The mushrooms and those few pieces of rotten wood were placed in the stable. They're currently experimenting with them, but we don't know if they'll work anytime soon.

Zhang Dabiao's daily life is now quite ordinary. He reads books and occasionally goes to the school to exchange ideas with the art teacher about unorthodox sketching techniques.

Then come back for lunch, see what new dishes Qin Jingru has learned, read some books and make some fish feed in the afternoon, then feed the fish, and then try out the new recipe with Qin Jingru to make different flavors of wild vegetable biscuits—with a blender and an oven, everything is easy to do.

Mu Wanqing and He Yushui would occasionally come over after school to help Zhang Dabiao grow vegetables and raise fish. In fact, Zhang Dabiao had some idea of ​​what Mu Wanqing and He Yushui meant to him, but he thought it was just teenage infatuation and not love.

He's only seventeen or eighteen, he has a long time to go, he doesn't want to think about this problem for now, it's giving him a headache!

I can't possibly start dating in third grade, can I?

This is absolutely incredible!

Let's at least get him to graduate from high school first.

Skip a grade!

Looking forward to the grade skipping exam in early May!

One day in late April, Mu Wanqing "invited" Zhang Dabiao to go to the Chinese medicine shop to get medicine. Mu Wanqing was getting some medicine to help her mother recover, while Zhang Dabiao was going to buy common fish-keeping medicines such as rhubarb, phellodendron bark, astragalus, and schisandra. He had even gone to the neighborhood office to get a certificate for this, otherwise the pharmacy wouldn't have given him the medicine.

On the way, Mu Wanqing pushed her bicycle and chatted idly with Zhang Dabiao.

"Da Biao, what song did you sing last time?"

"What?"

"That's the song you sang the day Yu Li met Yan Jiecheng. I've never heard it before. It's really good."

Zhang Dabiao then remembered that the song he sang back then was "A Spray of Plum Blossoms"! That was considered decadent music in that era!

Moreover, this music must be from the 80s; it's impossible for it to exist now.

So Zhang Dabiao had to make up a random excuse: "I don't remember who sang it. I only listened to it for a short while, and that's all I remember."

Sing it all out? Absolutely not, that would be suicide!

The atmosphere was just right, and Zhang Dabiao remembered the movie "Goodbye Mr. Loser," so he blurted it out.

But this is also a hidden danger. Although he didn't sing the whole song, most people just thought he was acting crazy and teasing Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li.

But what if this song appeared in the 80s?

How will we explain that then?

So far, only Mu Wanqing has paid attention to this issue because she loves music and wants to apply to music-related art colleges; the others haven't taken it seriously.

Or... could we publish this song back in 80?

Is it feasible?

"Oh." Seeing that Zhang Dabiao had brushed it off, Mu Wanqing didn't press the matter, but she was naturally a little unhappy inside.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Dabiao changed the subject: "Let's not talk about me. What about you? Are you really not going to take the college entrance exam?"

"My mother's health isn't good, and her job at the sewing shop doesn't pay much, plus it hurts her eyes. I'm also hesitant..." Mu Wanqing said with a worried expression.

After paying off all the debts owed to the family, they still had about 100 yuan left. Now they only owed Zhang Dabiao some grain.

She naturally understood that Zhang Dabiao didn't lack these things and wouldn't force her family to pay them back.

She was confident she could get into university, and in those days there were subsidies for university students, so her living expenses were basically not a problem.

But studying art is expensive, not to mention that my mother will be left without anyone to take care of her.

However, she wasn't very confident about finding a job right after graduating from high school, given the current job market, so she was having trouble making a decision.

While they were discussing this matter, the two happened to pass by Yinding Bridge, a small bridge connecting Qianhai and Houhai.

Suddenly, a woman rushed out from the side, holding a sharp knife, and stabbed at me while screaming.

"I'll kill you, you bitch!"

It was only a few steps away, and the incident happened suddenly. Zhang Dabiao was carrying a bag of Chinese medicine on his back, and he was holding the bag with his other hand, so he couldn't free his hands for a moment.

Zhang Dabiao instinctively pushed Mu Wanqing, and the knife plunged directly into Zhang Dabiao's heart!

Then, everyone was stunned. Zhang Dabiao looked down at the fruit knife in his chest and his clothes, which were beginning to turn red...

[This is already GAME OVER?!]

My life hasn't even begun yet...

(This isn't over yet! This book isn't finished yet!)
