Reborn to Strive

When Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu walked to the fried skewers stand, Shi Ting was pestering Zhao Meiyun to eat fried skewers.

Shi Ting was only four years old when her mother died.

She was very sad at the time, but later Zhao Meiyun came to the house and treated her very well. Even if she knew that Zhao Meiyun was not her real mother, she still regarded Zhao Meiyun as her mother and was very close to Zhao Meiyun.

Zhao Meiyun herself couldn't bear to eat a whole bunch of things on the stall, after all, they were things that could be sold for money.

But Shi Ting wants... She asked Shi Ting, and fried Shi Ting a bunch of sausages that they sold for [-] cents.

Zhao Qiujuan also asked Shi Ting with a smile if she was tired from studying.

While waiting for the fried sausages to come out of the pot, Shi Ting said, "I'm not tired, but I can't watch TV anymore. It's a little annoying."

"As long as you study hard, I will give you two hours a day to watch TV at Mr. Fei's house." Shi Zhen promised—Mr. Fei would not mind if someone came to his house.

Shi Ting is now happy.

Seeing Shi Zhen coming, Zhao Qiujuan asked, "Ah Zhen, have you eaten? Is it enough?"

"I've already eaten it," Shi Zhen laughed, "You guys left me a lot, I almost couldn't eat it."

"Well... eat well..." Zhao Qiujuan wanted to say something nice to get close to Shi Zhen, but she didn't know what to say, so she just brought them over silently, and moved the stool she used to sit on when she was tired. Shi Zhen: "Ah Zhen, sit down."

The stool was long and could seat two people. Shi Zhen was really tired after running all day, so he sat down on one end and motioned Guan Baiyu to sit on the other end.

Guan Baiyu sat at home all the time, and he wasn't really tired, but if he didn't sit, Shi Ting might come to sit... Guan Baiyu immediately sat down, next to Shi Zhen.

He rolled his eyes with a smile, and secretly took another look at Shi Ting.

Shi Ting was so focused on fried skewers that she didn't even give him a look.

Guan Baiyu once again felt that there was something wrong with him, why was he always thinking about...competing for favor?

Gathering his mind, Guan Baiyu asked Shi Zhen if he had bought a freezer.

Shi Zhendao: "The freezer costs two to three thousand, it's too expensive, I can't afford it...Xiao Yu, please lend me the money."

Guan Baiyu was stunned, how could he have money?The pocket money given by Shi Zhen, who has saved all his belongings one after another, is only one hundred in total.

But he soon thought of the fact that Shi Zhen didn't want the Shi family to know his financial situation... Guan Baiyu nodded indiscriminately, and looked at Shi Zhen eagerly.

Shi Zhen blinked at him.

Guan Baiyu's eyes widened suddenly - his brother's eyes seemed to be emitting electricity!

His heart beat faster and he was very happy.

His brother didn't hide anything from him.

In front of the Shi family, they also hid a secret together.

Shi Zhen chatted with Guan Baiyu, speaking Mandarin.

If two people chat in the local dialect, there will be a feeling of excluding others, but it is different in Mandarin.

Both Zhao Qiujuan and Shi Ting could understand Mandarin, and Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun could barely understand a few words.

"Brother Baiyu is so rich! Where did he get it?" Shi Ting took a bite of the fried sausage and looked at Guan Baiyu enviously, "Oh! If only I had that much money, I saw a hat, but It’s so beautiful, I really want to buy it.”

Shi Ting wanted to buy more than hats!There are also clothes, trousers, skirts, shoes, schoolbags, hairpins, headbands...

Too bad she has no money.

"Xiaoyu is like me. I run a small business," Shi Zhendao said. "I rent a house or something, and my expenses are quite high. Xiaoyu usually doesn't have any expenses, so I can save a lot of money."

It was so!

The Shi family accepted this explanation. After all, the first day they came to Anshan Town, they saw Guan Baiyu setting up a stall.

I heard that Guan Baiyu didn't study in the third year of junior high school to set up a stall in order to save high school tuition fees.

What's even more amazing is that he didn't go to class afterwards, and he was able to get admitted to the best high school in the city!

That's right, Shi Xinghuo, who can't read and write, can save more than 1000 after working for a few months. It's normal for Guan Baiyu to have a little savings.

Zhao Meiyun handed out the fried skewers that the guest asked for, then turned around and asked Guan Baiyu and Shi Zhen if they wanted fried skewers.

Of course Shi Zhen didn't want it, and Guan Baiyu also refused. Firstly, he is not a greedy person, and secondly...he sees how Shi Zhen saves money.

Let's just say that Shi Zhen ate so fast just now... Shi Zhen was outside today, so he must not be willing to buy something for himself.

His brother worked so hard just to make his family live a better life, how could he spend money recklessly?

Guan Baiyu thought about it, and told Shi Ting again tomorrow, telling Shi Zhen how hard it is and how difficult it is, so that Shi Ting would not want to buy this or that all day long.

As for the specific content of his brother's hard work... Although his brother is unwilling to tell him, he can make it up!

Shi Zhen sat and looked at it for a while, and found that his parents set up this fried skewer stand together, there is no problem.

He relaxed and looked at his sister.

Originally, Shi Zhen wanted to find Zhao Qiujuan a job in a factory, so that Zhao Qiujuan could get in touch with the young girls here and change his mind.

But in this period, in such a small place as Anshan Town, factories still prefer to find locals rather than outsiders.

In addition, Zhao Qiujuan is a bit introverted, not very good at talking, and will not come into trouble. It is even more difficult for the recruiter to look at her.

Shi Zhen couldn't find a suitable job for her for a while, thinking about it now, it's better to let her take care of the rice ball stall as I said to Qian Qiqi before.

Selling rice balls does not require much preparation work, and the profit is not bad. Shi Zhen originally planned to do it by himself first.

He can't have no income at all.

But this time when he went to Changxi City, he not only decided to go to the town to sell cold drinks, but also planned to take over the work of the sweater factory.

Shi Zhen said to Zhao Qiujuan: "Sister, you also know that I still have a stall selling rice balls at the vegetable market in the morning. You can follow me from tomorrow and try to make it for a few days. If you can do it, I'll show you the rice ball stand in the future."

Zhao Qiujuan listened to Zhao Meiyun's words to please Shi Zhen, hoping that Shi Zhen could help her, such as finding a good partner for herself.

She doesn't have high demands, she can eat and drink enough when she gets married, the man doesn't beat anyone, and she doesn't dislike having a baby girl, she is satisfied, and it doesn't matter if she is older or uglier.

Zhao Qiujuan did not expect that Shi Zhen would give her the stall selling rice balls.

It's okay to ask her to help, but let her set up a stall alone... She really can't!

"Ah Zhen, I can't..."

"Sister, you have always been very capable, so you can do it." Shi Zhen said.

Zhao Qiujuan was still a little apprehensive: "I..."

"Sister, get up early tomorrow morning, make preparations with me, and set up a stall with me. Try it for a few days. If you can do it well, you will be the one to watch the stall from now on." Shi Zhen said.

"What about you?" Zhao Qiujuan asked.

This is a profitable business, how important it is!Her brother actually wanted to do it for her!

At this moment, Zhao Qiujuan was extremely grateful, but she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Shi Zhen said: "I plan to do something else."

In fact, if these two stalls are handed over...he will not have to take care of the family's expenses in the future, and he will be much more relaxed.And his sister sells rice balls in the town, no matter what, she can get in touch with more people and be more cheerful.

As for his sister's marriage... Shi Zhen really didn't think about it.

His sister is only twenty!

A girl who is only 20 years old, why rush to get married?

In fact, he wanted his sister to study more. The main reason was that his sister had only been in elementary school for two years and couldn't read all the words. It would be a disadvantage in the future.

But it is impossible for his sister to continue studying...

His sister is a big girl, and she can't sit back in the elementary school classroom.

Shi Zhen thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Sister, recently Tingting learns Pinyin from Bai Yu every day, you can also learn it, and then you can recognize the characters... Once you know the characters, it will be convenient for you to do whatever you do in the future."

"No, no, I'm so old, I can't learn anymore..." Zhao Qiujuan waved her hands repeatedly.

"How come? Sister, you are only twenty, and you can learn how to read and write." Shi Zhendao, "Sister, think about it, you will have a child in the future, and the child wants you to read a story to him, but you can't read it. How bad."

Zhao Qiujuan was thoughtful when she heard what Shi Zhen said.

Seeing this, Shi Zhen was a little helpless.

His sister is the kind of person who is willing to dedicate everything to the child. It is not easy to tell her other things, but to raise the child.

Even if she has no children yet.

Shi Zhen continued: "In the future, when your child goes to school, the teacher asks the parents to fill in the form and you can't fill it out, and you can't read at the parent-teacher meeting... it will embarrass the child."

When Zhao Qiujuan thought about it, she panicked.

After Shi Ting entered junior high school, she would occasionally bring home some forms for her parents to fill out.She didn't understand these things, and neither did her parents, so Shi Ting filled them out by herself.

If her child gets back such a form in the future...

Zhao Qiujuan felt that other things could be ignored, but she still needed to know the characters.

If Shi Zhen really gave her a stall, she should do it well, lest her children have no money to eat in the future.

Zhao Qiujuan was full of energy for a while.

Shi Zhen didn't take a nap today, he was already very tired, so he didn't stay at the skewer stall, and went home early to rest.

He slept through the night before he regained his senses, and went to town early the next morning.

The stall where he sells rice balls is now also at Shi's house, and he always goes there to make preparations in the morning.

When he arrived at the place, Shi Zhen found that Zhao Qiujuan had already woken up.

He asked his sister to get up early, but he didn't expect his sister to be so early.

But it cannot be denied that his sister's appearance made him very happy.

If his sister was lazy, he wouldn't even have the energy to help her.

Cooking with only an electric rice cooker was a bit slow, so Shi Zhen used an iron pan to cook a little bit, and then instructed his sister to chop pickles and mustard greens, and fry them in oil.

You can also taste the taste when frying. Generally speaking, if you put a little sugar in the pickles, the taste will be better.

After frying these two things, it’s time to make egg skins. There are not many people who buy rice balls worth one yuan, and the amount of egg skins is very small. Shi Zhen usually makes enough egg skins for two or three eggs, and there are often leftovers. .

Then there's the fried peanuts, which aren't too difficult.

Zhao Qiujuan worked neatly, and under Shi Zhen's guidance, she finished all the work smoothly.

Shi Zhen took her to the fried dough sticks place to get the fried dough sticks, and then set up a stall in the town.

The rice balls sold today were made by Shi Zhen, but someone ordered the rice balls in advance, and Shi Zhen asked Zhao Qiujuan to make them.

Zhao Qiujuan is twenty this year. She doesn't look good, but her face... looks simple, like the kind that can't lie.

So she won't make people like her at first sight, but she will never make people hate her.

Shi Zhen introduced to regular customers that she was his sister, and everyone would smile at Zhao Qiujuan after hearing this.

Zhao Qiujuan is a bit introverted, but she is not the kind who doesn't want to get in touch with the society.

In fact, she is also very curious about the outside world and wants to get in touch with it.

Setting up a stall next to Shi Zhen, she felt that she was accepted by this strange place.

The factories in Anshan Town basically start work at eight o'clock, and at eight o'clock, fewer people come to buy breakfast.

However, Shi Zhen usually set up a stall for a while, mainly to sell out the prepared items.

Today, there are not many materials left for them.

Shi Zhen remembered that Zhao Qiujuan also came to help when he set up a fried skewer stall a few days ago, so he had some experience, so he said, "Sister, I have something to do today, and I'm going to Changxi City. Please take care of this stall next time." , When the item is sold out, you push it back home."

When Shi Zhen nailed wooden shelves for Zhao Qiujuan and the others, he also made himself a stall suitable for selling rice balls.

The stall is a cuboid nailed with wood, covered with a thin iron sheet on the outside, with wheels on the bottom, and two holes dug in the middle of the top, just enough to fit two large buckets of rice.

After Zhao Qiujuan sold out the rice balls, she could push the stall back home.

Hearing what Shi Zhen said, Zhao Qiujuan was a little apprehensive, but she still agreed seriously.

Shi Zhen smiled and got on the bus to Changxi City.

After Shi Zhen arrived in Changxi City, he went straight to the woolen sweater factory he had visited yesterday.

The leader Shi Zhen met yesterday was already waiting in the factory, and Shi Zhen smiled when he went up: "Mr. Zhou, I brought the deposit and ID card with me this time, so we can sign the contract."

That week I was always taken aback.

He was the one who brought up the deposit. It was impossible for him to give Shi Zhen a large number of woolen sweaters that had just been produced when Shi Zhen didn't have any collateral.

He also asked Shi Zhen to bring his ID card. He wanted to know Shi Zhen's origin.

But signing the contract... He really didn't think of it before.

But it's okay to sign one, insurance, that is... how to sign?

This "President Zhou" is the younger brother of the factory director, and he is not young.

People of their age didn't go to school for a few years back then, contracts and so on... It's okay to have a template, but he's not very good at dealing with those without a template.

Shi Zhen found out about it after chatting with him, and finally said, "Why don't I write it?"

Mr. Zhou asked Shi Zhen to try.

Shi Zhen quickly wrote a contract.

He has practiced handwriting in his free time, and his handwriting is very beautiful, and it is very similar to Guan Baiyu's handwriting.

As for contracts... In his previous life, he had read countless contracts, many of which were dozens of pages long, and he had to bring his lawyer to read them together...

It's really too easy to ask him to write a simple contract by hand.

Shi Zhen's contract was written very well, which made Mr. Zhou very satisfied, but after seeing Shi Zhen's ID card, he was a little dissatisfied.

He thought Shi Zhen was a local, but it turned out he wasn't?

During this period, the society is still relatively chaotic. If Shi Zhen is a local, then he does not have to be afraid of Shi Zhen running away, but if Shi Zhen is a foreigner, he is not so reliable.

Shi Zhen also knew this, so he offered to sign the contract. At this time, he explained seriously: "Mr. Zhou, my registered permanent residence is not here, but I have lived here for a long time, and I have relatives here. If you are worried, today You can take a look with me."

This Mr. Zhou was in a hurry, so he gave him [-] sweaters today and asked him to find someone to embroider on them.

After seeing the tricks, Shi Zhen probably knew why he was so easy, so he agreed to his proposal.

The woolen sweaters recently produced by this factory need to be embroidered with more complex flowers. They are afraid that they will not be able to find someone to do it for a while, so they ask themselves to try it.

Mr. Zhou agreed without hesitation.

According to the agreement, their factory would send the clothes to Shi Zhen, and he definitely wanted to follow them to have a look.

Although Shi Zhen paid a deposit of 1000 yuan, the value of [-] woolen sweaters is definitely more than [-] yuan.

What's more, in the next month, they will produce several thousand pieces of this woolen sweater one after another, and they have to find someone to embroider them. In the future, they may send thousands of pieces to Shi Zhen at a time...

Speaking of which, if Shi Zhen didn't come yesterday...he might recruit some workers today and let them come to the factory to embroider.

But doing so costs more than sending the job out, and it's not always possible to get it done before delivery.

In contrast, it is better to outsource this kind of work.

He can still get kickbacks!

All the clothes were loaded onto the truck, and Shi Zhen followed suit.

The truck only had two seats in the front, the driver and Mr. Zhou sat, and Shi Zhen could only sit in the compartment next to a large number of sweaters.

With the scorching sun in the sky and thick sweaters all around, Shi Zhen felt very hot both physically and mentally.

Fortunately, after starting this business, they should be able to make a lot of money.

Shi Zhenzheng sighed, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the sweater sample given to him by Mr. Zhou on the top floor.

Wait, there is only one piece of this product?

He was going to assign the work to the women in the village, and he would definitely give them samples.

Now there is only one sample in total... what is he going to do?

On the factory side, he said that the two hundred pieces of clothes would be taken away the day after tomorrow, and the time was very tight, so it was difficult for him to find someone to sew samples for him right away.

Shi Zhen took a deep breath, looked at those sweaters, showing a bitter expression.

For the time being, he can only embroider this sample.

It's actually good for him to learn how to embroider this dress, so that when those aunts and aunts come to him to pick up work, he can teach them how to embroider.

It's really... pretty good.

In the future, he is afraid that he will become a friend of women.
