Reborn to Strive

Guan Jianguo usually gathers a lot of people, but recently when Shi Zhen sent and received sweaters here, even more people gathered here.

Not only that, the women who embroider sweaters here are willing to spend money on snacks because of their income.

The maltose seller came on a bicycle, sold a lot of maltose here, and left contented.

Shi Xingchao ate maltose, his eyes narrowed: "It's so sweet...There are so many delicious things out there!"

Shi Zhen advised him: "You are not short of money, so you can buy whatever you want to eat in the future." Considering that Shi Xingchao had just arrived, he gave Shi Xingchao a month's salary in advance, and Shi Xingchao is really not short of these few cents now.

"It's not necessary, it's not necessary, in fact, it doesn't matter if I don't eat it." Shi Xingchao hurriedly said: "I've eaten meat every day since I came here, and I've eaten enough! Sigh, you are really willing to spend money!"

Shi Zhen didn't tell him about it anymore. After Shi Xingchao came to his side, he didn't spend a single penny... What is he doing?

Mr. Wang's house won't be built until some time later, so Shi Zhen drew a few more blueprints and made the numbers on them more accurate, so that Mr. Wang can still pick them out when the time comes.

This house is equivalent to a model house for him, and he still attaches great importance to it.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhen took a shower and went to the town to sell cold drinks.

The weather has been cooler recently, and there are other people selling cold drinks, so his business is not as good as before, but he can still make a dozen or twenty dollars a night, and he can sell some in the village during the day. An income of [-] yuan is equivalent to a person's salary.

The key is that it doesn't take too much effort to prepare for selling this, saving manpower.

There were no guests, so Shi Zhen just sat down and rested, and while he was resting, a slightly chunky young man came over and said, "Give me a glass of iced cola."

Shi Zhen looked at this person and found that this person was actually the man who came to point at him because of Zhao Dongjuan.

He made him a glass of iced Coke and said, "Fifty cents."

Zhong Liyang gave Shi Zhen [-] cents, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry."

"Huh?" Shi Zhen was a little puzzled.

Zhong Liyang said: "Before Dongjuan...Zhao Dongjuan came to me and asked me why I ignored her. I didn't know what to say. I was asked...I told you that I went to find you...I'm sorry. "

Zhao Dongjuan used to be very gentle and pitiful in front of him. When he first said that they would not meet again, Zhao Dongjuan just cried. Later, when he saw that he was determined not to fall in love with her, but started to be aggressive, he was taken aback. , and confessed Shi Zhen.

Zhao Dongjuan was afraid that she would find trouble with Shi Zhen.

"It's okay." Shi Zhen said, Zhao Dongjuan just said a few words, now there is no way to take advantage of him.

"It's fine...cough cough." Zhong Liyang said: "She has asked about you before, and your cousin and so on, and she doesn't know what she wants to do...you should pay attention."

"Hmm." Shi Zhen's eyes flickered.

But thinking that Guan Baiyu is now a student in No. [-] Middle School, and he won't get involved with him yet, so he doesn't have to be afraid of Zhao Dongjuan, so he feels relieved.

Zhong Liyang left with a little embarrassment.

Shi Zhen let go of this matter in advance, if what he expected is not bad, Zhao Dongjuan is probably looking for another partner at the moment, and will not come to trouble him.

In his previous life, he was rich, and Zhao Dongjuan had been staring at him all the time, but in this life, it was too early for him to take over his family. At this stage... Although he has some money, it is not comparable to the locals.

Compared to squeezing money from him, it would definitely be more cost-effective for Zhao Dongjuan to find a local person with a house and money.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that Zhong Liyang just now has hundreds of clothes and shoes on his body, and his family is probably very rich.

Shi Zhen's life is very peaceful.

Shi Xingchao got rid of the stingy thing, other aspects are pretty good, at least he is more clean and diligent than Shi Xinghuo.

Recently, Shi Zhen and Shi Xinghuo's clothes were all washed by him.

As for the reason... Shi Xinghuo thought that Shi Xingchao really had no money, and seeing how pitiful his younger brother was, he bought some snacks for Shi Xingchao from time to time.

Shi Xingchao didn't want too much, he would share with Shi Xinghuo if he had a ham sausage or something, and then he washed Shi Xinghuo's clothes.

Shi Xinghuo didn't know that Shi Xingchao washed his clothes for himself to repay the snacks. He thought that Shi Xingchao had a deep relationship with his brother, and he always slept next to Shi Xingchao.

Shi Xingchao: "..." I don't want to get too close to his brother who sleeps and snores!

In a twinkling of an eye, it was the big day again.

This time Guan Baiyu came back by bus. Shi Zhen rode a tricycle to pick him up at the station, and then drove him home. Along the way, he asked him about his studies.

Guan Baiyu sat behind the car, looked at Shi Zhen's back and spoke slowly.

Shi Zhen didn't feel anything wrong at first, but suddenly realized something: "Your voice..."

Guan Baiyu closed his mouth and did not speak.

His voice has changed, and now his voice is much hoarse, far less pleasant than before.

Shi Zhen couldn't see Guan Baiyu's expression, but he could guess it, and smiled in a good mood: "It's okay, men will be like this, and you will be fine soon."

Guan Baiyu was still a little depressed.

He also knew that a man's voice would change when he reached a certain age, but he didn't want Shi Zhen to hear it.

He is also a little worried now... Will his voice get worse and worse?

Guan Baiyu kept talking, Shi Zhen said again: "Xiao Yu, don't worry, no matter what your voice is, it is the best to me."

Guan Baiyu was taken aback.

Shi Zhen is no different from the men he comes into contact with in his daily life.

They are not very good at sweet talk, no, not at all.

Compared with other people, Shi Zhen has already done a good job. He will chat with him and encourage him. From the beginning of their acquaintance, Shi Zhen always said that he is smart.

But those words sounded different from those words of encouragement.

Hearing these words, he always felt a little blushing, but couldn't help being happy.

For his brother, he is the "best"?

Guan Baiyu returned home happily, and after returning home, he took out two chocolates and gave them to Shi Zhen: "Brother, these are wine chocolates, Liang Qinxuan gave them to me, you have a taste."

"Have you ever eaten?" Shi Zhen asked.

"I've eaten it." Guan Baiyu smiled, but he had never eaten it.These were given to him by Liang Qinxuan casually, there were only two in total, and he took them all home.

"Do you like it? If you like it, keep it." Shi Zhen didn't take it.

For him, these little things are edible or not, but Guan Baiyu looks like these two sweets.

Guan Baiyu thought for a while, and gave Shi Zhen one: "Brother, we each have one...do you want to try it!"

What Guan Baiyu said was a bit like acting like a baby. Guan Baiyu occasionally acted like a baby with him in his previous life.

But now Guan Baiyu's voice...

Shi Zhen laughed again, peeled off a piece of chocolate and ate it.

Guan Baiyu also peeled off one, first licked it, and finally bit it open...

The wine inside was nothing fancy either, but the chocolate on the outside was delicious!

Shi Zhen ate the chocolate and asked about Liang Qinxuan.

I haven't seen each other for about half a month, a long absence is better than a newlywed... Sigh, that's wrong!

In short, today's Shi Zhen gave Guan Baiyu a sense of intimacy, Guan Baiyu asked: "Brother, why do you always ask others, why do you care so much about Liang Qinxuan?"

Shi Zhen paused before saying: "I think you can teach a few more friends. I think he is a good friend."

Liang Qinxuan is very loyal, and he is still very lively. Guan Baiyu makes friends with him, he is at ease.

It turned out to be like this, he just said that his brother is very good-looking, why pay so much attention to a person who has never met a few times!

Guan Baiyu thought for a while, and then told what happened to Liang Qinxuan.

Shi Zhen frowned.

He knew about that Chen Shaojin in his previous life. When Liang Qinxuan confronted his father at the beginning, he even said that he must behave himself better than Chen Shaojin.

But Shi Zhen has never met Chen Shaojin, this person seems to have been staying outside and never returned to Changxi City.

Liang Qinxuan's stepmother had a miserable life later on. After Liang Qinxuan's father went bankrupt and passed away, she had some money at first, but then someone cheated her out of all the money.

At that time, Liang Qinxuan hadn't had time to do anything, and in the end he could only say that evil comes with evil.

Looking at it now, Chen Shaojin's mother and son are really not cheap. Liang Qinxuan didn't finish high school in his previous life, so it should be their handwriting.

The fact that Liang Qinxuan was kicked out of the house must have something to do with them.

With their methods, Liang Qinxuan might have been involved in gang fights in his previous life, and his grades had deteriorated because of the great changes in his family... Liang Qinxuan's father would definitely be more and more disappointed with his son.

Wait, Shi Zhen suddenly thought of something.

In his previous life, Liang Qinxuan didn't have half-brothers and sisters at all.

But now, Liang Qinxuan's stepmother is seven or eight months pregnant.

What happened to that child?

Shi Zhen thought for a while and reminded: "Xiao Yu, tell Liang Qinxuan to pay more attention. His stepmother is already in her forties, and the child in her belly is prone to problems."

"I reminded him." Guan Baiyu said immediately.

"Xiao Yu is really smart." Shi Zhen said.

Shi Zhen hadn't seen Guan Baiyu for half a month, it was very rare.

He didn't know what he could say... After looking at Guan Baiyu for a while, he said, "I'm going to buy a duck and stew it for you to eat at night."

"Brother, I can just eat whatever I want. I eat well at school." Guan Baiyu told Shi Zhen what he usually eats.

Liang Qinxuan is picky, and he also likes to have more dishes. Every time he goes to the cafeteria, he buys all the meat dishes. The meat dishes in No. [-] Middle School are also covered with vegetarian dishes, and the quantity is very large.

Usually a boy is enough to eat a bowl of vegetables, but he buys several, he can't finish it, and he doesn't even eat the vegetarian dishes on the bottom... It's cheaper Guan Baiyu.

Guan Baiyu usually eats with Liang Qinxuan at noon, but he packs the leftovers, so he only needs to buy food at night.

"It's not stewed for you. There are a lot of people in the family, so I should make more food." Shi Zhen said.

Shi Zhen said that it was not stewed for Guan Baiyu. After the stew was over, the duck liver, duck gizzard, duck heart and two duck legs were left for Guan Baiyu to eat slowly.

Guan Baiyu felt a little embarrassed, but Shi Xingchao and the others didn't feel it.

Shi Xinghuo can eat some meat, what about Shi Xingchao... He is already satisfied with 1 meals.

Shi Zhen is really too generous!

What a nice brother he is!

While Guan Baiyu was at home, Shi Zhen didn't go out to drive a tractor to make money. On the one hand, he wanted to get along with Guan Baiyu, and on the other hand, he didn't want Guan Baiyu to see himself dirty.

Guan Baiyu stayed at home for two days before returning to school.

This is the last week of September, and the following is supposed to be a small week, but because it happens to coincide with the National Day, Guan Baiyu can go home.

Afterwards, continue the cycle of small prostrations and big prostrations.

Before the National Day started, Mr. Wang was planning to start work.

Twenty years later, in the rural areas of City J, it is very difficult to approve a homestead, but in this period, the homestead is especially easy to approve!

That Mr. Wang didn't demolish his old house, but built another homestead in front of his house to build a new house.

Shi Zhen chatted with him again and found out what he wanted, that is, the house needs to be built with three floors, and it must be built very grandly!

This is no problem for Shi Zhen, he has built many magnificent houses in his previous life!

Mr. Wang has already hired a lot of workers. In order to build it faster, he hired four masons alone. One of them, a master named Zhang, brought two apprentices with him when he came.

For those two apprentices, Mr. Wang calculated the wages of the small workers and asked them to do odd jobs with the master. Not only that, he also asked the neighbors to help.

The first time everyone met was on the homestead newly approved by Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang introduced Shi Zhen to the masons, and said: "This time, the house will be built according to his instructions. You will listen to him when the time comes."

These masons are all very experienced in the local area. Many houses in the local area are planned and built by them.

Hearing that Shi Zhen was going to build the house this time, I was a little unconvinced.

Shi Zhen knew that he was young and it was not easy to convince the crowd, but he was not stage fright, and told these people how to build this house.

"What are you talking about! How can someone build a house like this! No way!" Master Zhang who brought his apprentice frowned, very dissatisfied.

Shi Zhen felt helpless: "What's wrong?"

"I've never seen anyone build a house like this!"

"People in big cities, just build it like this."

"What do you know at your age?" Master Zhang looked down on Shi Zhen.

Shi Zhen was also not polite: "At my age, it is easier to accept new things than you. If Mr. Wang wants a house that is the same as the people around him, then he already has one now, so why do he want to build a new one?"

Shi Zhen's posture was tough, and Mr. Wang was very satisfied when he saw this, and helped him say: "Yes, I just want to build a different house."

"Just such a weird-looking house, can it look good when built?" The master Zhang muttered unhappily, noticing that Mr. Wang was a little unhappy, and quickly said: "For your sake, Mr. Wang, I won't say anything." But Mr. Wang, you have to be careful, don't be fooled by him."

Mr. Wang smoothed things over with a smile, and the building of the house went smoothly.

There are several ways to build a house, but as far as self-built houses in the countryside are concerned, there are only two methods that can be used.

One is to build a house with bricks and then match it with prefabricated panels.

There is another kind, which is called "cast-in-place".To build a cast-in-place house, the formwork with steel bars inside will be set up, and then concrete will be poured in on site to pour out the walls and floors.

You can tell from the description that the house built by the second method is stronger.

But the second method, even after 20 years, not many people use it in the countryside.

Generally, we only cast a few columns, the foundation and the floor slab etc. Most of the walls are still built with bricks.

All cast-in-place costs are too high and unnecessary.

Of course, the rich don’t count. They not only build cast-in-place houses, but also install elevators in their own self-built houses, and even spend millions of dollars on the bonsai at the door.

Shi Zhen likes these wealthy guests the most.

In short, when building two or three floors, the ordinary brick wall is strong enough, as long as the wall is not smashed or built on it after the building is completed, there will be no problems.

After all, there is a thick brick wall from the bottom up!

According to construction standards, only those with high floors are required to be cast-in-place. In his previous life, Shi Zhen helped people build five or six-story demolition and resettlement houses, all of which were cast-in-place.

To build a house in rural areas, the first step is to dig the foundation.

In the early days, when rich families built blue-brick houses, the foundations were dug very deep. Sometimes they even praised other people's houses for their well-built houses, and people would say how deep their foundations were.

In the 80s, bricks were expensive and everyone was poor. Many people would pick up broken bricks and stones when they went out to build foundations.

Of course, Mr. Wang has money, so there is no need to use broken bricks.

The place Mr. Wang chose to build the house was dry land, and the foundation should not be too deep, but he had money, so he deliberately had someone dig it deeper.

Before digging the foundation, Shi Zhen did all the measurements according to the floor plans he provided.

When digging the foundation, you don’t need to be too careful, just dig the ditch big and deep. When the foundation is finally laid, he can measure it again, and he can’t make mistakes.

Mr. Wang's house was just built like this.
