Reborn to Strive

After getting money, he finally spent 600 yuan to buy a cooked food stall, and another 200 yuan to buy some tools from Shi Zhen's side.

Shi Zhen has always been very frugal. Like a stall, he bought cheap plywood and nailed it himself. It didn't cost much, and miscellaneous things like chopping boards and kitchen knives were not expensive, and the sum would definitely not reach 200 yuan.

But money does not know these.

In addition, Shi Zhen had paid wages before, and the wages added up to more than 800 yuan. After discussing the money, the family members thought it was worth spending [-] yuan to set up the stall.

Shi Zhen didn't fool them either, he explained the recipe of each food in detail, and took the money to see Butcher Zhu, where he went to wholesale eggs and dried beans, and even took him to the place where he bought seasonings.

These miscellaneous things are very troublesome, but fortunately Qian Qi's father also came, and the two of them ran with Shi Zhen for a day, and they almost figured out the situation, and the business was completely separated.

Shi Zhen received 800 yuan in the account, and he was in a good mood, as was the money.

After separating from Shi Zhen, Qian Qi decided not to open the stall so early. He discussed it with his family, bought materials in the morning to prepare, and went to set up the stall at noon until six or seven in the evening.

The time to set up a stall is shortened, and the earning will be less than before, but it is not so tiring.

And at the end of the calculation, when Qian got up, he found that he could earn more than [-] yuan a day, half more than working for Shi Zhen, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

Seeing that he earns a lot, his parents are also willing to help him.

The whole family got busy and felt that it was worth spending 800 yuan.

According to the current situation, they can earn back their capital in a month.

Because of his gratitude, Qian Qi's father specially gave Shi Zhen an old hen.

In his opinion, the money is equivalent to spending a few months helping Shi Zhen, and then learning a business...how good!

As for the money, he didn't know that Shi Zhen had already known about the fact that he had stolen the collected money to spend. He treated Shi Zhen the same as before. He saw Shi Zhen the first day he set up a stall and bought him. I gave Shi Zhen a pack of melon seeds.

However, the number of times the two will meet in the future should not be too many.

When Qian got up in the morning to make all the preparations and go to town, Shi Zhen had already sold out the rice balls, so Shi Zhen would walk past him when he came out at night to set up a stall selling fried skewers.It was just passing by, and I couldn't talk a few words.

Guan Baiyu has no feelings for Qian Qiqi, because of Qian Qiqi's betrayal of Shi Zhen, he also has some opinions on Qian Qiqi, and Qian Qiqi will not come to his home, he is only happy, not thinking about it at all.

Shi Xinghuo was a little depressed, he even went to the town to find some money and got up once.

But only once, and he soon ran out of time.

Someone Shi Xinghuo knew when he was digging river mud before introduced a job to Shi Xinghuo.

It's an easy job.

In Anshan Town, the tap water pipes buried underground in the early years were very small. Now more and more people in the town and countryside use tap water, and the tap water in some places becomes very slow.

Just in time for the expansion of the waterworks in the town, we planned to re-bury the water pipes.

What Shi Xinghuo had to do was to help dig a hole.

It must be tiring to go out to work in the summer, but this job is very safe, so Shi Zhen agreed for him.

He took out the cooked food stall, and his parents and family members also came. Shi Xinghuo is doing nothing every day, which is not very good.

Shi Xinghuo took office just like that, and continued to dig mud.

The water pipe renovation project was followed by people from the waterworks throughout the whole process. The food was pretty good. Although the wages for the small workers were not high, only 12 yuan a day, the work was not as tiring as digging river mud. It was already a good job.

If Shi Xinghuo hadn't done a good job before, and Shi Zhen set up a stall in the town every day and people could find him, Shi Xinghuo might not be able to get the job in the end.

When Shi Dalin was having dinner with Shi Zhen at noon the next day, he was quite annoyed when he found out about this: "I can do even digging and dredging, can you let me go too?"

It's 12 yuan a day, that's... how much is it for a month?Anyway, there must be more than 300 yuan!

Not to mention the food, he now helps his son every day, can't do much, but cooks with rice and oil, and eats chicken and pork, he feels a little sorry.

"Dad, that work is too tiring."

"No matter how tired you are, can you be as tired as farming in the mountains?" Shi Dalin didn't take it seriously.

Shi Zhen sighed secretly when he saw the missing teeth in Shi Dalin's mouth.

Shi Dalin's teeth fell out so early, probably because he was tired from doing too much work and lacked nutrition.

How could he let Shi Dalin do heavy physical work again?

"Dad, eat more eggs." Shi Zhen didn't want to say more, and put a fried egg for his father.

Shi Dalin looked at the fried eggs in the bowl, and looked at Shi Zhen with disapproval on his face: "Ah Zhen, even if you make some money, you can't eat like this! The meat is all fried, why do you insist on frying it a few more times?" an egg?"

Shi Dalin's life these past few days is so sour.

His son is too filial, too willing to spend money!

Let’s just say that today, white rice porridge in the morning seemed very good to him, but his son even gave them a salted duck egg!

He thought salted duck eggs would be the best, good guy, his son also fried peanuts and two vegetables!

What about this afternoon?There were already fried pork slices with cowpea on the table, and his son also fried eggs for them to eat.

The landlord doesn't even have such food. How can his son save money if he spends so much?

Shi Zhen was a little helpless when he met his father's accusing gaze.

He never spends money indiscriminately.

The family's food expenses are also quite high, so the meat dishes he eats for his family are all cheap. For example, yesterday, he bought three chicken racks and cooked them in soy sauce for them to eat.

At noon today, there was only one catty of pork fried in total - there were seven of them in total!

He was also afraid that there would not be enough food, so he fried an egg for everyone.

If nothing else, let's talk about his father. In his previous life, his father had serious diabetes.

The morning before yesterday, he specially asked Guan Baiyu to coax his father to go to the hospital on an empty stomach in the morning for a blood test.

Probably because he didn't eat well before, his dad doesn't have high blood sugar or high blood pressure now, but if his dad can eat rice like this after he can eat enough, I'm afraid he won't be far from high blood sugar.

Shi Zhen hoped that he could eat more protein and vegetables.

But...Shi Dalin felt that as long as there was enough food, he could eat a bowl of rice if he was given a pickle with chopsticks.

Eggs and meat?That's all unnecessary!

After all, he doesn't do physical work now.

"Ah Zhen, you can't make so many dishes in the future. If you want to eat, you can eat it yourself, you don't need to cook it for us." Shi Dalin said again.

Shi Ting was grilling rice, she glanced at her father carefully, and quickly picked up two pieces of fat and thin meat and put them in her bowl.

Shi Zhen: "..." His younger sister, who in the impression that fat meat doesn't stick to her mouth, eats fat meat now, and she eats it deliciously!

Shi Zhen said to his father: "Dad, stop talking, just eat."

"You're really wasting money, you..." Shi Zhen stared at him with a straight face: "If you don't eat, I will be unhappy!"

Shi Dalin still ate, Shi Zhen said again: "Father, eat slowly, it is good for your health."

"What kind of reasoning is this? I've never heard of it."

"Everyone out there knows."

"You, you came out, you became a city dweller, and you are different from us." Shi Dalin complained, but the speed of eating slowed down.

He himself has a good temper, and now that his son is older and has ideas, he is willing to listen to him.

Even when eating, I always feel that eating like this is too expensive.

Of course, it's delicious.

Shi Zhen also brought fried eggs for Zhao Meiyun, and Zhao Meiyun looked at the poached eggs covered with her rice, and whispered: "Ah Zhen, your sister and I can't eat much, so we don't need to eat eggs, you can fry two eggs less in the future .”

Zhao Qiujuan nodded repeatedly.

Shi Zhen laughed, and took another piece of meat for her: "Aunt Zhao, I'm not short of two eggs."

He didn't want to give it to Zhao Dongjuan, but there was no need to make it so ugly.

Zhao Meiyun happily took a bite of the fried egg.

They used to live in the mountains, and they could eat some messy game. Shi Zhen raised rabbits, and they would kill them for stewing when the farming was busy.

But they don't have any oil to make these things, and they don't have much seasoning.

Dry boiled rabbit meat is not as delicious as oily poached eggs. The fried cowpea sliced ​​pork tastes even better with some sauce!

She had never eaten something so delicious before!

After lunch, Shi Zhen took Guan Baiyu back.

He rested for a few days and recovered. After selling the rice balls this morning, he was not in a hurry to sleep. Now he had lunch before going home to take a nap.

Seeing that Shi Zhen had left, Zhao Meiyun immediately asked her eldest daughter to clean up the dishes with her.

She used to look for her youngest daughter for work, but her youngest daughter always said that Shi Ting could not do it, why would she do it... In order to avoid trouble, Zhao Meiyun did not look for her.

As for Shi Dalin, he went next door to chat with Teacher Fei.

Mr. Fei had conflicts with his daughter-in-law. He came to live in the town alone, but his wife was still taking care of the grandson in the city...Although he has some friends here, those friends have family members. If you are lonely, you are happy to talk to the Shi family next door.

Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu are his favorites, followed by Shi Fu and Shi Ting.

He likes Shi Ting because Shi Ting has a sweet mouth. Although the little girl is a bit greedy, he is happy for a long time when he just gives a piece of candy, saying "Thank you, grandpa" every bite... How can he not like it?

As for liking Shi Dalin... Shi Dalin doesn't understand anything, and he doesn't know any words. Knowing that Mr. Fei is a high school teacher, that's called worship. No matter what Teacher Fei says, no matter whether he can understand or not, he listens very carefully. .

The middle-aged man who came out of the mountains looked like a poor old farmer with a weathered face, and looked at him with a simple face. Such a simple middle-aged man sat next to him and listened carefully to what he said... No matter what Teacher Fei said, he felt very energetic Son!

Mr. Fei is in his sixties. People of this age like to talk about all kinds of things in the past, what happened when I was a child, what happened when I was studying, and what happened when I worked.

The era in which he lived changed drastically, and he could say a lot.

His sons and grandsons were tired of hearing these things, and they were impatient to listen to him, but Shi Dalin, who had nothing to do, was willing to listen forever.

Teacher Fei started to wait for Shi Dalin to come to visit after eating. When Shi Dalin came, he immediately made a cup of black tea for Shi Dalin.

Then the two started chatting.

After a while, Shi Ting also came.

Mr. Fei lives alone, and spends all his retirement salary alone. His son and the others come to visit him, and they will buy him rice, noodles, grains and oil... He has a lot of money, and he has a long nose king. Ask Shi Ting to watch TV—he has a TV at home.

Shi Ting was delighted, and went to watch TV while eating.

The clothes on the people on TV are so beautiful!

Wow, the people inside even have a piano!

Hong Kong looks good!

She wanted to live like that too!

Shi Dalin is not interested in TV, mainly because...he can't read it.

Shi Dalin and Shi Ting went to the next door, and Zhao Dongjuan was a little annoyed at the thought that these two people ignored her.

She walked towards the kitchen, only to hear Zhao Meiyun talking to her sister: "Qiujuan, the life here is really good, you must find a partner here, so that you will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future , if you can find someone in the town, you don’t have to do farm work anymore.”

Zhao Qiujuan took it seriously and nodded immediately.

Zhao Meiyun taught her again: "Go to your younger brother more often, and when the fried skewers are sold in the evening, you will follow... Do more, so I can ask him to make plans for you, he is very capable!"

"Mom, I will." Zhao Qiujuan was very happy.

Zhao Dongjuan interjected, "You're still pointing at Shi Zhen to make plans for you? Shi Ting is the only one in his heart."

Zhao Meiyun glared at Zhao Dongjuan when she heard the words: "What are you talking about? You're acting weird all day long! Please be quiet these days and don't offend Shi Zhen."

"I didn't do anything! Do I have to please him?" Zhao Dongjuan was not happy.

"Our family will want him to be the head of the family in the future, so what's the matter with trying to curry favor with him?" Zhao Meiyun smiled: "Your brother is a good one, alas, I feel now that I will be depended on for the rest of my life."

Zhao Meiyun is actually very happy these days.

She didn't have a son herself, so she was always worried.

In their side, it is not uncommon for a woman to marry a widower to be a stepmother, to raise a son born to someone else, and in the end the son does not care about the stepmother.

Of course, there are also sons who are not filial to their mothers... But in ordinary families, the sons are good to their mothers.

Shi Zhen was already grown up when she came to Shi's house, and although she didn't reject her, she didn't call her mother either. She was a little worried before, because she was afraid that Shi Zhen wouldn't support her.

Zhao Qiujuan hasn't married yet in her twenties, which is actually related to her desire to marry her daughter in the village.

She doesn't want a bride price when she marries her daughter, and her daughter marries next to her, and after her daughter gets married, she will help take care of the children and do housework... In this way, when she gets old, her daughter and son-in-law should take care of her?

But recently, Zhao Meiyun feels that she doesn't have to worry about retirement.

Shi Zhen is a generous person. After bringing them out, he bought her new clothes and fed her delicious food every day... In the future, when she gets old, Shi Zhen will definitely not ignore her.

Those sons in their village didn't treat their mother so well!

Zhao Meiyun smiled happily, but Zhao Dongjuan was not angry: "Shi Zhen Shi Zhen, you only have Shi Zhen and Shi Ting in your heart, and you don't care about us."

Zhao Meiyun glanced outside, was relieved to see no one, and said angrily, "Anyway, I can't rely on you! I knew it earlier!"

Hearing Zhao Dongjuan accuse him of ignoring her, Zhao Meiyun was quite aggrieved.

The women over there divorced, which one took the child away?

It's easy to go alone and want to remarry, but it's difficult to bring two oil bottles.What if you don't marry again?How does she support her two daughters?

At that time, she took her daughter back to her natal home, fearing that her brothers would dislike her and work hard. Wouldn't her sister-in-law and daughter-in-law still show her face?

Her brother even asked people to talk to her everywhere.

She knew that the man in front of her liked to beat people, and she was afraid that he would damage the two young daughters, so she gritted her teeth and took them with her.

In the Shi family these years, she has not treated her two daughters badly, so for some reason, Zhao Dongjuan has become more crooked as she grows up.

"Okay, you don't rely on me, you rely on Shi Zhen or Shi Ting, you are not his mother, you can see that he is not sincere to you." Zhao Dongjuan said.

Zhao Meiyun was so angry that Zhao Qiujuan was also angry, and she dragged Zhao Dongjuan out.

Zhao Qiujuan pulled Zhao Dongjuan to the attic: "Dongjuan, why did you talk to Mom?"

"I'm telling the truth," Zhao Dongjuan said, "Sister, Shi Zhen and Shi Ting can go to school without working, but you can't even go to school, so aren't you angry?"

"It's not that they didn't let me go to school." Zhao Qiujuan said.In fact, she is quite satisfied with her current life, and now she wants to have a good relationship with Shi Zhen, so that when she gets married in the future, she will also have the support of her natal family.

"Since they were young, they have never had a bowl of water leveled, so why!" Zhao Dongjuan said again.

The Shi family is not a bowl of water, this is the truth.

Among other things, when they were young, during the busy farming season, Zhao Meiyun steamed a piece of bacon, and with a knife, he would cut half of it and put it in a bamboo tube for Shi Dalin to take with him to eat when he was working on the mountain at noon.

She divided the remaining half among the four children. There is no doubt that Shi Zhen and Shi Ting's share is bigger.

There were countless such things in the ten years they lived together before.Zhao Meiyun may love them more in her heart, but when it's their turn to share things, Shi Zhen and Shi Ting are always allowed to take them first.

Shi Zhen treats them far worse than Shi Ting. Zhao Dongjuan still remembers that she went to school with Shi Zhen when she was a child.

What about Shi Ting?Shi Ting is not at ease if she refuses to accompany Shi Zhen.

Also, she was young and ignorant and didn't want to go to school at that time, so the adults really didn't let her go, and she was replaced by Shi Ting... They coaxed Shi Ting to go to school.

In short, Zhao Dongjuan felt a lot of grievances in her heart.

But she didn't want to think about it. When she went to school with Shi Zhen, Shi Zhen was only nine years old. At that time, there were boys around his age in the village...Compared to walking slowly with his step-sister, he of course I am more willing to run wild with boys of the same age.

Zhao Qiujuan didn't understand Zhao Dongjuan's grievance either.

Doesn't she think it's all right?

Not to mention that they are not relatives, even if they are Shi Dalin's own daughters... Shi Zhen, who is a bit delicious, takes the lead, she thinks it's okay.

Shi Zhen is a man, the only boy in the family!

People in the village, aren't they all like this?

In fact, the most pitiful thing is her mother. When her mother gave them meat, she never gave herself a little.

"Why do they want a flat bowl of water?" Zhao Qiujuan asked.

"It's not that mom doesn't work when she's at home. She still has to go to the fields when she's busy. As for us, we wash and cook at home. What do we do? You take care of the private land at home, and the sheep at home need to graze. It was we who mowed the grass, and we did a lot more work than Shi Ting, what happened? Dad and Shi Zhen brought some food back, and we will definitely give it to Shi Ting."

Zhao Qiujuan took it for granted: "Tingting is the youngest!"

Occasionally, wild fruits and the like can be found on the mountain.

In fact, Shi Dalin doesn't do much mining, but Shi Zhen likes to tinker with them the most.

Generally speaking... If he got a lot, he would put it at home so that anyone could eat it. If he got a little, he would just give it to Shi Ting.

For example, if the chicken is killed at home, Shi Zhen and Shi Ting will keep the chicken legs one by one.

But...it's not like they don't have to eat meat.

Zhao Qiujuan felt that her sister was still young when their mother divorced, so she forgot the hard life at her father's house.

At that time, chickens were killed during the Chinese New Year, and their own father would not let them eat meat at all!

Zhao Qiujuan and her sister's thoughts were completely different, and they broke up unhappy.

Shi Zhen didn't know anything about the Shi family.

He has long forgotten those trivial things when he was a child.

At this moment, Shi Zhen returned home, tidied up the house with Guan Baiyu, and was about to take a nap, when Guan Jinjin ran over: "Guan Baiyu, your high school entrance examination results have come out, the teacher asked you to go to school tomorrow to get admission Notice!"

The results of the high school entrance examination came out yesterday, and the school asked the junior three students to attend the graduation ceremony at the school tomorrow.

Most of the students went to school tomorrow and left with a graduation certificate, and some students had to fill out their application form to determine which school they would study in the future, but Guan Baiyu had already been recommended, so he didn't need to fill out the application form, and he could get the admission letter directly.
