Reborn to Strive

In a blink of an eye, it was time for Guan Baiyu to go home again.

Mr. Wang's water and electricity had to be finished, but Shi Zhen still hadn't passed. He came to the bus station early this day to wait for Guan Baiyu.

The khaki bus stopped at the bus station, and many people rushed down from the bus... Shi Zhen saw Guan Baiyu in the crowd at a glance: "Xiaoyu!"

Guan Baiyu also saw Shi Zhen at a glance, and raised a big smile.

Guan Baiyu feels that this world is quite magical.

Half a month ago, when he came home, he was full of entanglements, and his heart was churning, all of which were his love for Shi Zhen and his confusion about the future.

But after a mind-blowing weekend...he's not so concerned.

He must learn to restrain himself and must not do terrible things.

His brother is working so hard for the future, he shouldn't destroy his brother's life.

"Xiao Yu, how are you doing recently?" Seeing Guan Baiyu, Shi Zhen looked him up and down first.

The big week before, really scared him a little.

When Guan Baiyu came back that time, he looked sluggish. Later, he went to celebrate Liang Qinxuan's birthday, and met Chen Shaojin who wanted to kill someone. In the end, he was covered in bruises and had a fever.

In those few days, he couldn't sleep well at night, and he especially wanted to go to school to see Guan Baiyu.

But he also knew that it wasn't necessary.

Guan Baiyu has grown up, he has to learn to let go.

"I'm fine, I'm alive and kicking now," Guan Baiyu walked up to Shi Zhen with a smile, and grabbed Shi Zhen's arm, "Brother, let's go back."

"Okay." Shi Zhen said, taking Guan Baiyu to his tricycle.

Although there are not many cars in the town in this era, the roads are also not big, and tractors are not easy to park. In comparison, it is more convenient to ride a tricycle.

Guan Baiyu skillfully climbed onto the tricycle and followed Shi Zhen home.

On the way, Shi Zhen asked about the Liang family.

Guan Baiyu told the follow-up that he knew from Liang Qinxuan, and said: "We all live on campus, and have no contact with the outside world. These are all what Liang Qinxuan's cousin said in the past week, and I don't know what happened now."

"No matter what, Chen Shaojin will definitely not stay in the Liang family again... But you and Liang Qinxuan, you still have to be careful, he is too extreme and may cause trouble for you." Shi Zhen said.

Guan Baiyu said: "Well, we will pay attention!"

After Guan Baiyu wanted to understand his feelings for Shi Zhen, Shi Zhen no longer cared about Liang Qinxuan, he felt nothing at all.

Liang Qinxuan obviously likes women, and he even found a pair of playing cards with pictures of beautiful women in swimsuits printed on them, and wanted to "share" them with him.

Not only that, but Liang Qinxuan's appearance... is really ordinary.

Even if his brother likes men, he won't like Liang Qinxuan.

Not to mention... His brother has a high probability of liking women. Anyway, he has never met a man who likes men except him.

His brother paid so much attention to Liang Qinxuan... more like... wanting to know the gossip about the Liang family.

Heck, he was actually curious too.

The book said that ordinary people like these things... He had to admit that he was a layman.

Guan Baiyu told Shi Zhen a lot, but he didn't talk about selling stationery in school.

On the one hand, he was afraid that Shi Zhen would say that he was not concentrating on his studies, and on the other hand... after having 5000 yuan in money... he had a little disdain for bicycles.

Bicycles are not expensive for them today. His brother has never bought them.

If only he could make more money, he would buy his brother a motorcycle then!

Motorcycle Dora wind ah!What Liang Qinxuan was thinking about was wanting a motorcycle, and then it would come and go with a roar on the streets of Changxi City.

Of course, Liang Qinxuan's father would not agree to buy him a motorcycle in a short time, because he felt it was dangerous.

Guan Baiyu was in Changxi City, and he had seen a man riding a motorcycle and driving his girlfriend around... He hoped that one day, his brother could also drive him out to play.

Even today’s motorcycles cost more than 2 yuan, and more expensive ones... that cost more than 3 yuan.

Guan Baiyu told Shi Zhen about Liang Qinxuan's family, and Shi Zhen also told about Zhao Dongjuan's marriage.

"So fast?" Guan Baiyu was a little surprised.

"Well," Shi Zhen said, "The main reason is that the man is in a hurry. He has already started preparing for the wedding and plans to cancel the wedding a few years ago. Originally, what my father meant was that Zhao Dongjuan would go to his hometown to have a drink and invite relatives in his hometown after all. Friends have a meal and tell everyone that she is married... But Zhao Dongjuan is not willing to go back, so forget it, now my dad and the others have decided not to hold a banquet."

"This saves a lot of things." Guan Baiyu said.

"It saves trouble, but my dad is not very happy and feels a little ashamed." Shi Zhen said.

Shi Dalin is still old-fashioned, and his stepdaughter suddenly married herself outside, and she refused to go back to her hometown to hold a banquet, as if she had a problem with him... Although Zhao Dongjuan did have a problem with him, but their older generation, I don't want my family and friends to know about this.

After Guan Baiyu got home, he first put down the things in his hands, packed them up, and took out some snacks from his schoolbag to Shi Zhen: "Brother, I bought these in Changxi City, and they are said to be very delicious. You can try them." .”

Shi Zhen looked at this pile of snacks, a little funny.

There are quite a variety of these snacks, including vacuum-packed marinated chicken legs, soft-looking bread, ham sausage, bubble gum, shrimp crackers, lollipops and drinks.

Guan Baiyu likes to eat snacks very much, and he also loved to buy snacks in his previous life, so he will eat them when he buys them.

At that time, he always felt that snacks were for children, and it was fine for women to eat them. He was a big man and shouldn't eat them.

But it really ate...it tasted really good.

Speaking of which, for a while, he didn't understand why those people liked to buy that iced black tea. He felt that black tea shouldn't be so expensive... After Guan Baiyu gave him a taste, he realized that it was not what he imagined. Yes, ordinary black tea is sweet.

"What snacks will you buy me? You can eat it yourself."

"Brother, why don't you try it! It's delicious! How about we are half of us?" Guan Baiyu said.

"You can just eat it...have you ever eaten it?" Shi Zhen asked, Guan Baiyu spent money quite frugally, although he got 5000 yuan, he felt that Guan Baiyu might not be willing to buy it and eat it.

In his previous life, he gave Guan Baiyu more money, and Guan Baiyu didn't spend it recklessly.When he had no money on hand, he even borrowed it from him.

Guan Baiyu said: "I haven't eaten it... so we are all one and a half, brother, if you don't eat it, I won't eat it either."

Shi Zhen was a little dazed. In this case, Guan Baiyu in his previous life also said it.

They didn't miss out on snacks.

Shi Zhen didn't refuse after all, and then saw Guan Baiyu unwrap the bread, divide it into two halves and give him half.

The taste of this bread is not very good, it smells like artificial essence, but Guan Baiyu has never eaten it before, and he squinted his eyes happily after eating it.

After eating, Guan Baiyu popped a few bubble gums and ate them with him: "Brother, this one can blow bubbles, let's see which of us can blow them bigger."

Shi Zhen chewed helplessly—what a child!

Guan Baiyu looked at Shi Zhen and wanted to touch Shi Zhen's face.

But this action is a bit too much, so I still don't do it.

He will give his brother some delicious food first, and then treat his brother better.

Guan Baiyu thought so, taking advantage of his free time in the afternoon, he took off Shi Zhen's quilt and washed it, and said: "Brother, your bed can be made separately from theirs, it's so clean!"

The quilts of Shi Xinghuo and Shi Xingchao looked dirty!

"The room is small, so that's fine." Shi Zhen said, "I'll tidy it up after the new year when they move out."

Guan Baiyu's eyes lit up immediately: "Are they going to move out?"

"Well, brother Xing Chao will pick up my uncle and aunt after the next year." Shi Zhen said.

Although Shi Xingchao is stingy, he is still reliable. In his previous life, his uncle and aunt were also taken care of by Shi Xingchao.

However, Shi Xingchao and his wife couldn't explain what they said, and his uncle and aunt couldn't see it. In addition, he bought pension insurance for his uncle and aunt. Shi Xingchao lived, lived with his youngest daughter, and took care of the youngest daughter.

"It should be like this, how inconvenient it is for the elderly to live in the mountains!" Guan Baiyu especially agreed with this point.

Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu chatted for a long time, from the things they encountered to the interesting things that happened in the village recently.

They chatted endlessly, as if they had endless things to say. In the end, Shi Zhen felt that there was no end to the conversation, so he said, "I'll go to Xingchao to have a look, and I'll buy a chicken by the way."

"Okay." Guan Baiyu laughed, every time he came home, Shi Zhen wanted to kill chickens and ducks...

After Shi Zhen left, Guan Baiyu thought for a while, took out 4000 yuan from his schoolbag, sealed it in an envelope, and walked to Guan Guangguo.

Guan Guangguo is quite stubborn. He kept raising chickens, but he kept fewer chickens.

As soon as Guan Baiyu arrived at the door of his house, he smelled an unpleasant smell. At the same time, he also saw Zhang Xiumei sitting at the door embroidering clothes.

When he was a child, he was also taught to call Zhang Xiumei's mother, but later he grew up and knew the specific situation, and Guan Jinjin forbade him to call him, so he stopped calling.

"Well... I'll pay back the money." Guan Baiyu said.

"Repay the money?" Zhang Xiumei was taken aback.

"I wrote you an IOU before." Guan Baiyu said.

A total of 4000 yuan was written on the IOU.

He went to elementary school in the 80s, and the tuition fee was still very cheap. The first semester was only 20 yuan and [-] yuan. Later, the tuition fee gradually increased. In the third year of junior high school, the tuition fee rose to [-] yuan a semester, and it was paid by his grandmother at the beginning. .

The money for his education is not worth four thousand. The four thousand is actually including all the money that Guan Guangguo and the others spent raising him.

As for the money Guan Guangguo and the others spent on him, plus the food for him, it might not be four thousand.

"You said the four thousand...your brother has already paid it back." Zhang Xiumei said.

Guan Baiyu was taken aback: "My brother returned it?"

Zhang Xiumei said: "Yes, I paid it back last month. My family lost money raising chickens, and life is not easy. He asked me a few words, and after I said it, he returned the money to me."

Guan Baiyu didn't speak.

Zhang Xiumei lowered her head to embroider clothes, and said: "He is very kind to you, don't forget his kindness to you in the future."

Zhang Xiumei used to dislike Guan Baiyu because Guan Baiyu spent his family's money.

But since Shi Zhen gave the 4000 yuan, and she has made a lot of money from Shi Zhen, she has no hostility towards Guan Baiyu.

Guan Baiyu was raised by her mother-in-law when she was a child, and they didn't spend any money on Guan Baiyu at that time, and Guan Baiyu will never spend their money again... just treat him like an ordinary relative!

At this moment, Zhang Xiumei thought that during the two years when her mother-in-law was bedridden, Guan Baiyu was basically taking care of her, which saved her from knowing many things, and even made Guan Baiyu pleasing to her eyes.

"I won't forget." Guan Baiyu felt his nose was a bit blocked.

Zhang Xiumei said again: "By the way, your brother still wants to move your household registration out, do you know? I'm really looking forward to this."

Guan Baiyu didn't know about this, but he didn't reject it, and even thought of something - did his brother want to put them in the same household registration book?

That's fine too.

He and his brother will always be a family.

Thinking so, Guan Baiyu felt a little bored.

Guan Baiyu took the money and went home again.

He didn't expect that he wanted to pay back the money, but he didn't pay it back.

He didn't tell Shi Zhen about the 4000 yuan he borrowed, but Shi Zhen paid it back for him.

When Shi Zhen came back with the chicken, he saw that Guan Baiyu had found a clean bed sheet and had already changed it for him.

He took a knife and a bowl, and said to Guan Baiyu, "Xiao Yu, come and help me catch the chicken.

He grabs the chicken with one hand and holds a knife in the other, so he can kill the chicken, but this way he can't catch the blood of the chicken—the chicken will struggle.

If you want to catch the chicken blood, it is best for one person to control the chicken with both hands, and the other person kills the chicken with a knife to catch the chicken blood.

Guan Baiyu still has the strength to bind the chicken. He cooperated with Shi Zhen to kill the chicken, and then watched Shi Zhen pour hot water on the chicken and pluck the chicken's feathers: "Brother, you helped me pay back the 4000 yuan. Didn't tell me?"

"I wanted to tell you, but I forgot." Shi Zhen laughed.

He really forgot to say.

He always remembered the money, but he didn't pay it back when he ran out of money.

Recently, he has been much richer in terms of money. In addition, Guan Guang's country lost money in raising chickens, so he paid back the money.

This happened last month. Before he could figure out how to tell Guan Baiyu, a lot of things happened, and he forgot them if he was not paying attention.

What Shi Zhen said was plain, but Guan Baiyu's mood was very complicated. He glanced at Shi Zhen and began to think about how to use the 5000 yuan in his hand.

He wholesaled some stationery and sold it in the school, so he didn't need so much capital at all. In fact, his own savings were enough.

And the money...he wanted to do something else.

Speaking of which, he really had an idea.

This idea came to him after he bought stationery for a week.

Now they are used to hold pens, and they all use iron pencil cases.

But this kind of pencil case is opened and closed during class, and the sound is loud, which the teacher doesn't like very much.

Forget it, these stationery boxes even cost ten yuan each when he was in elementary school. At that time, almost no one in his country school could afford it.

Now everyone is earning a lot more, and the cheapest stationery box has dropped to three or four yuan each. Everyone can afford it, but it cannot be said to be cheap.

In fact, there are other things that can replace the pencil case.

When he was a child, he didn't have a pencil case, so he always used a bag he sewed out of cloth to hold his pens.

Can he find a clothing factory to make some pencil cases with strong fabric and zippers?

If cartoon patterns can be printed on it, it will definitely sell well!
