Reborn to Strive

City No. [-] Middle School.

Liang Qinxuan was tricked by Chen Shaojin once, and he always wanted to cheat him back, or beat Chen Shaojin up.

Guan Baiyu was afraid of accidents, so he had repeatedly advised him not to be impulsive, but this time when he went back, he even reminded him to be careful, and also focused on the child in his stepmother's womb: "You see Chen Shaojin is so insidious, his mother is no different , be careful, lest something happens to the child in his mother's womb, and it will be planted on you in the end."

Chen Shaojin was very willing to listen to Guan Baiyu's words now, and immediately nodded in agreement, and said: "I will be careful, but Chen Shaojin's mother should also be careful, she is very precious to the child in her belly, she will avoid me when she sees me from a distance. "

"That's good." Guan Baiyu felt relieved.In fact, Liang Qinxuan lives in the school now, and he still goes around making up lessons during the big week... There shouldn't be too much conflict with his stepmother.

When Liang Qinxuan talked about the family affairs, he was a little annoyed: "My dad is really kind to that woman! He even hired two people to take care of that woman... My mother used to be at home, and my mother had to do everything at home by herself!"

Liang Qinxuan complained to Guan Baiyu, and then was sent to study by Guan Baiyu.

The monthly exam is coming soon, you must study hard!

Now that Guan Baiyu is working hard, he wants to get the first place in the exam.

It's a pity that there are too many outstanding students in No. [-] Middle School, so he may not be able to get the first place.

After the first monthly exam results, Guan Baiyu was fourth in class and seventh in grade—there were two experimental classes in No. [-] Middle School.

However, although he did not take the first place in the exam, he has become a student that the teacher pays close attention to. The head teacher also asked him to know about his family situation, saying that if his family has difficulties, he can apply for poverty subsidies.

This was something Guan Baiyu had never experienced before, and he understood why his brother wanted him to go to a good school.

The difference is really big.

But he didn't want the poverty allowance, his brother bought him a lot of things, and what he usually eats and uses is not bad, so if he still wants to receive the poverty allowance, other people will have opinions.

When the results of the mid-month exam came out, ditches had already been dug on Mr. Wang's new homestead in the countryside near Anshan Town.

Cement was poured at the bottom of the ditch, and bricks began to be laid on the top.

Rural people build houses by their own supervisors and find workers to build them, and neighbors come to do small labor. If they do too much, everyone has a little understanding of building houses.

The house built by Mr. Wang's family is different, and people come to see it from time to time.

In the past, the village was full of small two-story buildings of the same style. In fact, there was a reason. At that time, the foundations and walls were laid to build houses. Then continue to build the wall.

The so-called prefabricated slabs are concrete slabs poured with reinforced concrete. They are very strong and have a good load-bearing capacity. Ordinary people live on them normally and will never break.

That is, prefabricated panels are all bought, and the length is the same, so the length of the houses built in this way may be different, but the width of the houses is the same, and the shape is naturally not much different.

Of course, with the current technology, it is no longer necessary to build such a simple house. In Mr. Wang's house, Shi Zhen poured a few pillars with reinforced concrete to make it stronger.

However, the walls are still made of red bricks.

There are several ways to build the wall. Some ways use more bricks, while others use less bricks. Mr. Wang is not short of money, so he uses the method that uses more bricks.

This morning, Shi Zhen dealt with all kinds of trivial matters, and re-measured the pull wires, telling the masons to be careful when laying the walls.

Walls must be built along these lines, and must not be crooked, as it is easy to cause problems.

"What on earth do you know? You know how to pull a thread? Who can't do that! Return the foreman... what foreman?" Among the masons, that master Zhang always disliked Shi Zhen.

He used to build houses for people, and people listened to him. He even built a three-story building for people. He felt that Mr. Wang's house should be built with the method he used before!

But a Shi Zhen popped up!

Master Zhang was very upset about the fact that he had to listen to a young man.

Shi Zhen usually doesn't argue with others, but that's in life.

He knew that he would not gain anything if he won the fight, so he didn't bother to fight with others.

But in the current situation... it is impossible for Shi Zhen not to react.

Shi Zhen picked up a brick and weighed it, looked at Master Zhang, and said with a smile: "I know everything...how about we come and compete to see who can build walls and floors faster?"

"I have been building walls for decades, how can you build walls faster than me?" Master Zhang sneered.

Shi Zhen was very sure: "Yes!"

If this master hadn't built walls for decades, he might not be as good as others, but now...Master Zhang has been in the industry for decades, and he is already in his forties. No matter how familiar he is with building walls, his hands and feet are not as young so fast.

Shi Zhen, since he bought the tractor, he has been moving bricks a lot, and he has been playing with bricks these days, and now the familiarity with bricks has returned.

He is alone, comparing hand speed with a person in his forties, that is really bullying him.

However, Master Zhang obviously didn't think so, he had to compare himself with Shi Zhen when he was making a lot of noise.

This situation attracted many people to watch, the neighbors and Mr. Wang's family all came. They were quite interested in this kind of competition. They chose a wall and counted 100 yuan bricks each. People start building.

Shi Zhen took a brick, threw it into the air and caught it again, making a chic movement.

On the other side, Master Zhang was already building the wall obediently, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shi Zhen's movements a bit disdainful: "Put on air."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Shi Zhen started to build.

Masons have special tools for building walls. They will use tools to dig out cement and apply it to the bricks, and then build up.

If you apply too much cement, it will be squeezed out, and if you apply too little, it will not work. Of course, a skilled master can control the amount of cement well.

Shi Zhen has built countless walls in his previous life, so naturally he can't make mistakes now.

He built it quickly.

The speed of young people is definitely higher than that of middle-aged people. After Shi Zhen concentrated on building the wall, the number of bricks around him decreased rapidly. Although Master Zhang's speed was also fast, it was not as fast as him.

When Master Zhang noticed this, he couldn't help being anxious, and when people are in a hurry, they are prone to make mistakes.

Moreover, this kind of master is actually used to working slowly, and after suddenly speeding up... he made the mistake of applying too much cement and not enough, and he made it again and again...

Shi Zhen felt that he was a bit of a bully.

But why is he playing?Isn't it just to bully people?

After bullying, people will listen to him.

When it came to the last few bricks, every time Shi Zhen picked up a brick, he threw it up. When the brick spun and fell, his other hand just scraped up some cement, then caught the brick, spread the cement, and One click on the wall...build it!

"Good!" Someone around started to applaud.

Shi Zhen looked like he was juggling.

Shi Zhen also regained some of his youthful vigor.

Well, in the eyes of everyone, he is very young now.

And his craft of playing with bricks was learned together with Qian Qiqi.

When he was a child, his material life was too scarce, so he didn't have much spiritual life. Later, when he worked, he also focused on money.

Having fun and the like has almost nothing to do with him.

Ever since, the martial arts stories on the radio that the big guys listened to together on the construction site gave him a great shock, as well as the people in their village.

After that, many people practiced iron sand palms by inserting sand with their hands and diamond palms by splitting bricks together with Qian Li.

The former was fine, but the people who did the latter were severely taught by Shi Zhen—did they treat him as his bricks without money?

But... Shi Zhen also secretly tried it at the time, and the bricks can really be split if they are placed on the ground.

And this movement of throwing bricks was something they learned to practice when they were bored at the beginning. When he first met Guan Baiyu, he often threw bricks to play cool in Guan Baiyu's presence.

Who made Guan Baiyu like to watch it!

Because he threw too much, no one could compare to him on the construction site.

Throw it forward, throw it back, throw it around and throw it... Shi Zhen knows it.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhen performed a few more moves.

"it is good!"

"another one!"

"Wow!"

……

People around clapped their hands.

Shi Zhen put the last brick on the wall: "I'm done."

In fact, there are only a few bricks left by Master Zhang, but no one pays attention to him anymore. Mr. Wang's six-year-old son rushed towards Shi Zhen and said, "Uncle, do you know martial arts?"

"I won't." Shi Zhen said.

"You will, you look very good, I want to learn too! I wanted to go to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts, but unfortunately my father won't let me go!" Xiaopangdun said, "Don't worry, I can endure hardships, I will stick Horseback! You teach me!"

Shi Zhen: "..."

Shi Zhen showed his skills and harvested one, no, several little fans.

Little Fatty was not the only kid watching him play at that time.

And these children looked at him with awe afterward.

Not only that, Mr. Wang's family also looked at him with admiration.

Although Mr. Wang’s family is rich, it’s hard work after all. Mr. Wang’s wife and parents had objections to Mr. Wang’s hiring of someone like Shi Zhen—30 yuan a day!What's wrong with having this money!

But now they stopped complaining and felt that Shi Zhen had real skills.

Among other things, his bricklaying skills are really good, and he must have been a mason for several years!

Most importantly, a young man who is handsome and polite to them is always more likable than a middle-aged master who is picky all day long.According to local customs, when workers are invited to work at home, tea and lunch are provided, and snacks are prepared at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

Of course, it’s okay if you don’t prepare these things, then you will have to pay more. The current market situation is that you need to pay an extra five yuan a day.

The workers eat meals and snacks together, and if they are shared equally, one person cannot eat five yuan, so most people will choose to provide meals instead of paying an extra five yuan for wages.

Although Mr. Wang makes a lot of money, other members of his family are out of work and are willing to cook for the workers. His family provides food, and the food is not bad.

Shi Zhen ate for a few days and was very satisfied with the food, but Master Zhang probably was always praised when he went out in the past, and because Mr. Wang's family is rich, he expected too much from Mr. Wang... He was picky from time to time, so he didn't like it. It's likable.

For example, yesterday afternoon, he did a strange thing. At that time, the "snacks" prepared by Mr. Wang's wife were bulk biscuits and watermelon. There were two packs of biscuits per person, and the watermelon was cut for everyone to share. As a result, one watermelon had just been cut, and everyone was cutting one of them. After eating half of it, Master Zhang hugged the other half and scooped out the heart of the watermelon with a spoon.

Later, his two apprentices were both embarrassed to eat the other half of the watermelon.

Master Zhang also felt that it was too perfunctory for people to make them snacks with biscuits, saying that he went to work in someone's house before, and they made wontons for them in the afternoon...

Shi Zhen: "..." Even if you really feel dissatisfied with this kind of thing, it's pretty stupid to say it.

It's good that masons are scarce now, but in the future there will be more people who know how to do this craft, and it is estimated that everyone will not like to ask him to work.

Mr. Wang approved 180 square meters of the foundation, and the house type planned by Shi Zhen for him was a bit complicated, with many walls, so the building was slow.

But because Shi Zhen has been watching from the side, in fact, compared to others, their progress is already considered fast.

Shi Zhen positions himself as a foreman, and usually takes care of all aspects, such as how to mix the cement better, how many times the sand should be sieved, and how many walls each person needs to build every day...

There are also how to make the scaffolding more solid, etc., we must also pay attention to it.

After Shi Xinghuo's incident in his previous life, Shi Zhen has always cared about the safety of construction sites, and his relevant knowledge is much richer than those who only cover self-built houses in rural areas.

Also because Shi Zhen is mainly responsible for handling these matters, everyone will not care if he leaves for a while occasionally.

Because of the building of the house, there was a three-day holiday for National Day, so Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu didn't get along much, and when October came, the weather gradually became cooler.

In mid-October, the cold drink stalls can no longer be set up.

After setting up this stall for more than three months, not only did he earn money from the freezer, but he also earned several thousand dollars more. Shi Zhen was already very satisfied. Since he couldn't use the freezer for the time being, he went to the town and found the stall he was setting up. Father, ask your father if you want to use it.

At Shi Dalin's barbecue stand, there are many foods that will go bad if left for a long time, so it is best to store them in the freezer.

But Shi Dalin refused. He was very conservative in his business and didn't dare to buy more. Basically, at eight or nine o'clock every night, he sold out the things that couldn't be kept for a long time.

"Father, that's fine too... how's the business going?" Shi Zhen asked him.

Shi Dalin was happy: "Okay, okay, from morning to night, I can sell 200 yuan a day! Mao estimates that I can earn seventy or eighty yuan a day."

Because he earns so much, Shi Dalin is particularly motivated. He now sets up a stall at the entrance of the primary school in the town at six o'clock every morning.

The primary school students in the town are all only children, and they have a lot of pocket money. Many people will come to him to buy a string of ham or sausage for [-] cents.

When this wave is sold out, he goes home and sleeps, and then goes to the town to set up a stall at the entrance of the cinema - most people who come to the town to shop during the day will pass by here, and the business is good!

In the afternoon, when the elementary school was about to close, he would go to the gate of the elementary school again... There is a kindergarten next to the elementary school. Now some children, their parents won't buy them something to eat, and they will argue and refuse to go home!

After all the students went home, Shi Dalin went to set up a stall in the cinema.

He is so busy, of course he earns a lot, that is, he is not the only one selling fried skewers in the town now, there is competition, otherwise he can earn more.

Of course, he is very satisfied with his current income.

He used to worry about the dowry money for his son's wedding and the money for the banquet, but now he doesn't have to worry about it - he can earn it in a month!

Of course, after chatting with people, he also found that if he got married here...the cost would be much higher than in their village!

But Shi Zhen is still young, men need to be 22 years old to get married, so don't worry, and Shi Zhen can make money himself, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

Shi Zhen came here at noon, and there was no one at Shi Dalin's stall, so Shi Dalin chatted with Shi Zhen about family affairs.

Shi Dalin now gives Zhao Qiujuan 200 yuan a month to buy food and cook for the whole family, but he is too busy to set up a stall, so Zhao Meiyun delivers the food to him.

The town is not big, and Shi Zhen said that Zhao Meiyun had better walk around more, so they let her go.

But now, Shi Dalin has saved almost [-] yuan and wants to buy a TV.

"Dad, you can buy it if you want. It's better to buy a color one." Shi Zhen said, he went to the electric appliance store before, and saw that the 21-inch color TV now costs more than 3000.

This price is very high compared to everyone's income during this period.

But he could understand his father's desire to buy a color TV.

They haven't seen these before and always wanted them.

And there is a TV at home, so Zhao Meiyun, Zhao Qiujuan and the others can learn more about this world.

"Colorful ones are too expensive..."

"I bought a black and white one, and I will definitely have to change it in the future. Why don't I just buy a colored one," Shi Zhen said.At that time, the quality of the color TV was very good. Shi Dalin bought it, and he could watch it for more than ten years.

"That's fine... Hey, if I buy it, I will be the first one in our village to buy a color TV! You said that when we go back during the Chinese New Year, should we bring the TV series back and show them?" Shi Dalin laughed, showing a sparse look. Few teeth.

Shi Zhen didn't think it was a good idea to go back to celebrate the New Year with a TV show, so he changed the subject: "Dad, when is the time, I'll take you to see your dentist, let's get you some dentures."

Nowadays, Shi Dalin is actually inconvenient to eat anything. He bites off many hard things and swallows them directly. However, he never tells people about these things, and only eats a few more mouthfuls of soft food.

"There are still dentures?" Shi Dalin was a little surprised.

"Yes." Shi Zhen laughed.

Shi Dalin was yearning for it immediately, he licked his teeth and said, "I have another tooth loose inside me."

"Dad, you should rest at home during the day." Shi Zhen advised him.

Shi Dalin smiled innocently and said nothing, he wanted to make money.

Now that the chat started, Shi Dalin also asked Shi Zhen about building a house for others.

He didn't quite understand why Shi Zhen wanted to build houses for others—isn't it good to send and receive sweaters?Earn much more than a mason!

In addition, Shi Zhen already has a freezer, and he can also open a small shop. In the future, he will send and receive sweaters while opening the small shop.

Shi Zhen laughed: "Dad, you won't make much money doing this."

In his previous life, Guan Baiyu, who ran a canteen in his village, had been running a canteen all his life.

"How much do you want to earn?" Shi Dalin was puzzled.

"For example... [-] million?" Shi Zhen laughed.

Shi Dalin felt that his son had a brain problem.

After chatting with his father, Shi Zhen drove his tractor parked not far away, and went to the station to pick up Guan Baiyu who had gone home for prostration.

A tractor is different from a truck, and only one person can sit in front of it. Guan Baiyu moved a stool and sat in the tractor compartment, which was a little dirty because of frequent loading, listening to the "chug-chug-chug" roar of the tractor, bumping along the way go home.
