I Want To Be a Good Person in This Life

During the few days of waterproofing, Zhuo Shao had already measured the size and bought enough tiles.

The house of the Zhou family is very large, and it is not suitable to lay all the wooden floors. Except for the bedrooms, it is better to use ceramic tiles in the rest of the place.

Ten years later, when you go to buy tiles, merchants who sell tiles will give you a special design plan to spell out patterns for your home. At this time, there is no such thing in Fuyang County.

Zhuo Shao found a good brand of tiles, looked at them all by himself, selected seven or eight kinds of tiles, designed the collage method himself, and calculated the materials used for each type to be cut.

Lay the tiles first, make the ceiling of the cabinet after laying the tiles, and then deal with the walls... Zhuo Shao re-planned the process, and then found a few masons to install the tiles.

There are a lot of decoration workers in Fuyang County, and the local people who do decoration are basically paid on a daily basis.

Therefore, the workers here often go to work at nine o'clock in the morning, and finish their day's work after four o'clock in the afternoon.

Of course, if there is a lot of work in hand, or if the owner keeps an eye on it, they will do it faster.

Zhuo Shao's side is different. After Zhuo Shao contacted those workers, all he said was how much work there was on my side. If you finish all the work, I will give you as much as you want.

No matter whether the job is done for ten days or one day, after the job is done, Zhuo Shao will give him exactly the same money.

Because of this, these people did not delay at all when they came to Zhuo Shao to work here. Some of them knew that Zhuo Shao could work here at night, and even worked in other places during the day, and then came here at night.

The tile-laying masons come at six or seven every morning, leave at eight or nine to work elsewhere, come back at four or five in the evening, and work until six or seven...Three days passed like this , they actually did all the work.

At this time, Zhuo Shao ushered in the second monthly exam after rebirth.

"Zhuo Shao, read the book again, you... Is there anything you don't understand?" The day before the exam, Liang Chen looked at Zhuo Shao with concern.

In the first few days of the renovation, he could still move bricks for Zhuo Shao, but later on, he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't help Zhuo Shao at all.

In desperation, he could only concentrate on studying hard.

Zhuo Shao is very busy and has very little time to study. There may be things he doesn't understand. If he learns more, he can teach Zhuo Shao when he doesn't understand.

At least, he can also ensure that his homework is not wrong, so that Zhuo Shao can copy his homework well, can't he?

"It's okay." Zhuo Shao smiled, this monthly exam, the exam is a new class that he took in October.

Although I have asked for leave this month, I have listened carefully to the lectures in school, and have summed up a set of study methods... Zhuo Shao feels that there is no problem for him in this exam.

Of course, if you want to do as well as he did before, don't even think about it.

The rules of the monthly exam are still the same as last time.

In the last exam, Zhuo Shao was a little bit blind when faced with Chinese reading comprehension, but this time he was no longer like this.

He still doesn't know the meaning of a certain sentence in the text, but at least he knows to write everything that can be written.

First write this sentence is well written, lively and vivid, and then write at least two meanings of the expression...

Zhuo Shao filled the entire Chinese paper and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, after a 10-minute break, the math test was immediately ushered in...

There was an exam today, and Zhuo Shao, who was trying to cram his feet, didn't cook at noon, and finally took his two children to find a fast food restaurant for dinner.

The dishes in this fast food restaurant are sold one by one.

It costs [-] yuan to put a poached egg on top of the fried vegetables, [-] yuan to the shredded pork soup with tofu, [-] yuan to the braised fish, and [-] yuan to the sauced duck.

Zhuo Shao asked for some dishes and ate them with his two children.

This kind of big pot is cooked, and there is no skill when cooking, but they are very willing to put MSG and oil, and the taste is not worse than Zhuo Shao's cooking.

Of course, this kind of food must not be eaten too much... At the beginning, Zhuo Shao thought about whether he should just buy food to eat in the future, but now he has eaten it once, and he immediately gave up this idea.

It is better for children to eat less of such meals.

In the afternoon exam, Zhuo Shao felt that he should have done well in the exam.

After the exam, all the students in the class were correcting the answers, but Zhuo Shao didn't do the same, but hurried home.

Today, he invited the carpenter he talked to to come to his house.

"These places are going to be wardrobes, here is a cloakroom, and here, a whole row of relatively short toy cabinets for children..." Zhuo Shao told the carpenter about the design of each place.

These things to be done are very simple things. After he said it, the carpenter understood, and then said: "My current wages are 40 yuan a day."

At that time, the wages of people in Fuyang County were generally relatively low, and carpenters were only able to earn 40 yuan a day because they were skilled workers.

In order to let them work hard, many people usually give them a pack of cigarettes.

"My wages here are not calculated in this way." Zhuo Shao said: "As for the work I just mentioned, I will provide the wood, and you will do it all for me. I will give you one thousand and two. If you can do it within 20 days If you finish it, I will add another hundred and fifty, if you can finish it in fifteen days, I will give you one thousand and five."

"One thousand and five?" The carpenter was surprised.

"Yes, one thousand and five." Zhuo Shao said.

"What if I can do it in ten days?" asked the carpenter.

"Then I'll give you one thousand seventeen." Zhuo Shao said, "Of course, the quality must not be bad."

"Then when will the money be paid?" the carpenter asked again.

The current decoration market is quite chaotic. Many workers are cheating and playing tricks, trying to get benefits for themselves, but they are usually in trouble.

For example, some families ask them to do the work, but they will not pay for it.

"This cabinet will give you [-] when it's finished, and this one will give you [-]..." Zhuo Shao took out the blueprint and marked it: "You get the bonus if you do it quickly, and I will give it at the end."

Zhuo Shao's behavior is definitely considered kind, the carpenter nodded and agreed.

And early the next morning, he came with a young man: "This is my nephew, I will do it with him."

When Zhuo Shao asked yesterday how much he would make for ten days, he knew that he would probably ask someone for help, so he was not surprised at all at the moment.

The drawings and dimensions of each cabinet have been given to the carpenter, so there is no need to keep an eye on them all the time. It happened to be the weekend again, so Zhuo Shao went to check the floor and other things.

The decoration is very troublesome, and many people feel that their heads are too big when they meet for the first time, but Zhuo Shao is used to doing this, so everything is arranged in an orderly manner.

Come up on the weekend, the results of the second monthly exam will come out.Zhuo Shao got No.8 in the class.

After finding out the learning method, Zhuo Shao's progress is still very fast, and it is not too little to spend all his time in school on studying.

Of course, the fact that he was able to get this grade has something to do with the fact that the monthly exam only takes new subjects... Zhuo Shao hasn't finished all the knowledge in the first and second grades at the moment.

However, there is still more than half a year before the senior high school entrance examination, Zhuo Shao feels that when the time comes, his grades will not be too bad.

Zhuo Shao's grades have improved, but Liang Chen's grades have stabilized at second place.

When Liang Chen did well in the exam last time, everyone thought he was just lucky, but this time he still did well in the exam, so everyone didn't think so.

Many people started paying attention to Liang Chen, and then discovered...

This Liang Chen has really changed a lot!

The Liang Chen in the memory of the classmates in the class is a fat man who doesn't like to talk, is very rustic, and is said to be dirty, but the current Liang Chen...

Liang Chen's current clothes were bought by Zhuo Shao. Although they may not look very good-looking, they definitely fit them well.

Liang Chen's current hair was also taken by Zhuo Shao to have it cut. Zhuo Shao didn't take him to the place where he often goes to get haircuts for old people in the county, but found a newly opened barber shop for him to have their hair cut. His hairstyle is also not so old-fashioned.

In addition, Liang Chen also lost a little weight. With unremitting exercise and dietary adjustments, he no longer has a greasy face all day long, and even the pimples are gone.

Such Liang Chen, although not a handsome guy, is definitely not ugly.

Some students in the class took the initiative to talk to Liang Chen, and the problem was solved.

Liang Chen has a very good temper, and when others came to ask him questions, he would answer them well. So, in PE class again, when Zhuo Shao was sitting by the playground and reading, he suddenly found that Liang Chen, who used to always run alone, was beside him. He even followed a boy and was talking to him.

My child finally has friends... Zhuo Shao was in a good mood, at this moment, not knowing if he noticed his gaze, Liang Chen raised his head and looked towards him.

Meeting Zhuo Shao's gaze, Liang Chen smiled.

Zhuo Shao was suddenly in a trance.

He was too busy these days, so he inevitably paid less attention to Liang Chen. Up to now, he hadn't looked at Liang Chen carefully for a long time.

And the way Liang Chen smiled at him just now made him feel a little familiar.

Liang Chen's smile is a bit like Liang Xin.

Liang Xin smiled at him like this once, although it was only that time, but he remembered it clearly.

Liang Chen, a bit like Liang Xin, both of them have the surname Liang...they shouldn't be related, right?

In Zhuo Shao's heart, such a thought suddenly popped up.

But he quickly vetoed it - Liang Xin has no relatives...

Zhuo Shao smiled, and quickly let go of the matter, thinking that he must miss Liang Xin so much that he felt that Liang Chen was a bit like Liang Xin.

Liang Xin and Liang Chen are obviously completely different people.

Liang Chen has been a pitiful little boy since he was a child, with a low self-esteem and a sensitive personality. When others treat him a little better, he will be flattered, but Liang Xin is different. others are annoying.

At that time, several girls in their company liked Liang Xin and eagerly went to Liang Xin's side, but what they got in return was Liang Xin's reprimand.

There are also men who have liked Liang Xin, who is a well-known designer in the industry.At first, Liang Xin wanted to poach him, but after learning that he liked her, he never mentioned it again.

That's why Zhuo Shao liked him for several years, but he didn't dare to confess.

Liang Xin is superior, how can he deserve it?

Thinking of this, Zhuo Shao was a little depressed again, and the thoughts in his heart also skyrocketed.

But soon, he suppressed his complicated emotions.

He will not go to jail in this life, he will not waste the best ten years of his life, and he has many memories of future generations... He believes that he will achieve something, at least the gap with Liang Xin will not be that big.

Taking a deep breath, Zhuo Shao concentrated on reading the book.

After Liang Chen met Zhuo Shao's eyes, he was very happy, and then looked at Zhuo Shao frequently, but what made him depressed was that Zhuo Shao never looked at him again after that.

"Liang Chen, why do you always look at Zhuo Shao?" The boy next to Liang Chen asked.

"Is there?" Liang Chen subconsciously denied his behavior.

"Yes!" The boy said: "Liang Chen, Zhuo Shao is so cold, he doesn't talk to us... But he is quite pitiful."

Hearing this classmate's evaluation of Zhuo Shao, Liang Chen was a little unhappy.

He doesn't like others to say that Zhuo Shao is pitiful.

"Liang Chen, Zhuo Shao lives with you. You should know about his family's situation, right? Are his parents really dead? Then what will he do in the future?" The classmate looked at Zhuo Shao sympathetically.

Liang Chen didn't want to talk to this person anymore, so he lowered his head and ran.

The carpenter and his nephew were really working hard.

Before he worked, he always worked very slowly. After a while, he stopped to rest and smoke a cigarette, but this time, he came to work at seven o'clock in the morning and stayed until five o'clock in the afternoon. Don't stop.

Then... He suddenly discovered that his work was done faster than he expected.

But in nine days, he actually finished all the work!

This woodworker admired himself a little bit.

Zhuo Shao went to see it every noon and night for the past nine days. He knew that the woodworker had done a good job. Today he finished all the work. After watching it again, he was even more satisfied.

Zhuo Shao gave him all the remaining money, and then saw the carpenter laugh happily, and said, "Little brother, you are really capable! There are not many planks for me at all!"

Zhuo Shao smiled and said nothing. He has been doing design for so many years, so of course he can't make a mistake.

"I still have some work here, do you want to do it?" Zhuo Shao asked again.

"Is there still work? What kind of work?" the carpenter asked curiously.

"To make a kitchen and a suspended ceiling." Zhuo Shao said, the kitchens of later generations are all made of integral cabinets, but at this time... he walked around Fuyang County and found that there is no store that makes integral cabinets, so he just I can do it myself.

Other than that, it's the ceiling.

For families who want to save decoration costs, it is not necessary to install complicated ceilings.It’s enough to cover the wires and pipes, and it can make the house look taller, but for families who are not short of money...

The suspended ceiling is definitely one of the things that best shows the grade of a house.

Of course, when suspending the ceiling, we must also pay attention not to hang too much. Once the ceiling is suspended too low, it will appear depressing.

Zhuo Shao didn't tell the carpenter about the suspended ceiling at first, but he planned to see how his work was doing first. Now that he was sure that he was doing a good job, he started to discuss the suspended ceiling with him.

The suspended ceiling is more complicated to make than the wardrobe, so Zhuo Shaokai's price is higher, and the kitchen...

"Isn't the kitchen all made by masons? We carpenters only need to make cabinet doors." The carpenter was a little puzzled.

In kitchens at this time, several walls were usually built with bricks, then tiles were pasted, and finally marble was laid on top, and cabinet doors made by carpenters were installed on the outside.

"What I do here is different." Zhuo Shao said, he specially designed the kitchen cabinets, this kitchen, he plans to make it more high-end and elegant.

Zhuo Shao's work here is really different... The carpenter nodded in agreement, and was a little excited at the same time.

He has learned a lot here, and when he goes out to do carpentry for others, he will definitely be able to do better.

Among other things, he thinks the design of those wardrobes is very good.

For the ceiling of the living room, Zhuo Shao made it into the atmosphere, and designed different ceilings for each room, such as the children's room, he made a huge moon ceiling.

The next day, the carpenter started to make the suspended ceiling, and a few days later, on Saturday, Zhuo Shao contacted Zhou Zhengqiang and asked him to come and have a look.

Zhou Zhengqiang is also quite busy, and because he trusts Zhuo Shao, he has not come for a few days, and now he is coming again... He was surprised by the progress of the renovation.

The speed of the decoration is really too fast. A few days ago, there was not a single cabinet, but now all the cabinets are installed.

Not only that, many details are also handled very delicately, such as the tiles, which are covered with a layer of things to protect them all.

"Mr. Zhou, half of the installation has been completed. According to the contract, another 40.00% of the payment must be paid." Zhuo Shao said with a smile. He asked Zhou Zhengqiang to come over to ask for money.

After a few days of work, you have to pay such a large amount of money, and you will definitely be reluctant to be an ordinary person.

But Zhou Zhengqiang is a local tyrant!

He took Zhuo Shao to the bank, and then gave Zhuo Shao a wad of money.

Zhuo Shao went home with the money in his arms, feeling quite satisfied, and at the same time, a thought suddenly came to his mind.

After the idea was born, it seemed to grow in his brain, and it could never be pulled out.

Zhuo Shao was silent for a while, then called Yang Jianhua and asked for two days off, and by the way, asked for leave for Liang Chen and Zhuo Ting.

He planned to go to the provincial capital tomorrow to see all kinds of building materials, buy some electrical appliances, and then go to see a person.

As for why he took the two children with him... Zhuo Shao was worried that they would encounter trouble if he was not at home, so he simply brought them along.

Last time I went back to the provincial capital to buy a computer, I was in a hurry, and I was even more anxious when I came back. Liang Chen and Zhuo Ting didn't feel like they went to the provincial capital to play, but this time it was different. They would stay in the provincial capital for two days!

Liang Chen was very excited, and Zhuo Ting was also very excited.

Zhuo Shao thought more about it.

For example, if they go to the provincial capital, if they want to stay in a hotel, they need to bring their household registration book or something.

Zhuo Shao had his and Zhuo Ting's household registration book in his hand, and Liang Chen's household registration book in his hand. He took it out to look at it, and suddenly found that Liang Chen's birthday was coming.

Liang Chen's birthday is December 12th.

Liang Xin was born on December 12th, and this child is four days younger than Liang Xin.

Zhuo Shao held Liang Chen's household registration book and chanted the name "Liang Xin" in his heart, the more he chanted, the more satisfied he felt.

After a while, Zhuo Shao came back to his senses. He kept Liang Chen's birthday in his heart, and then took his two children to the provincial capital early the next morning.

At this time, there is no navigation map or anything, and there are not as many buses and taxis as there will be ten years later. Zhuo Shao has no way to arrange the route hotel in advance, so he can only go to the provincial capital first.

They first went to the center of City H to look at various home appliances. Zhuo Shao wrote down the prices and measured the sizes, and then took Liang Chen and Zhuo Ting to KFC.

There is no KFC in Fuyang County, but there are in the provincial capital.

Liang Chen was not short of money, but he hadn't seen much of the world. After Zhuo Shao took him into the KFC with clean windows, he kept looking around, and Zhuo Ting certainly did the same.

"Wait here for a while, I'll go buy food." Zhuo Shao said.

Liang Chen and Zhuo Ting nodded, and watched Zhuo Shao helplessly go shopping for food, while taking a deep breath of the rich fragrance that permeated the shop.

"Zhuo Shao is really good, he understands everything." Liang Chen said to Zhuo Ting.

Zhuo Ting nodded, looking proud, and then saw a girl who was about Zhuo Ting's age in line in front of Zhuo Shao took out a 100 yuan card and skillfully bought what she wanted.

Zhuo Ting was a little dazed when she saw this scene.

Liang Chen was also a little taken aback.

It seems that it's not that Zhuo Shao is too powerful, but that they are too useless.

Zhuo Shao didn't buy much. He brought his two children here just to let them taste it, but he didn't intend to let them eat too much junk food.

"Brother, it's delicious!" Zhuo Ting took a few mouthfuls of the hamburger and couldn't help but said, "I've never eaten such a delicious thing!"

Zhuo Shao smiled: "It's okay for me to eat." These... He really doesn't like it, he thinks it's too greasy.

Zhuo Ting was a little unhappy, and went to look at Liang Chen again: "Brother Liang Chen, do you think this burger is particularly delicious? Nothing we have eaten before is as delicious as this!"

Zhuo Shao was very busy during this period, and Liang Chen and Zhuo Ting only spent a lot of time together. The two of them had already become familiar with each other quickly.

Although Zhuo Ting was young, Liang Chen always agreed with what Zhuo Ting said in the past, but today is different.

Liang Chen shook his head: "I also feel normal."

The hamburgers are delicious, very, very delicious, but he thinks that Zhuo Shao's cooking is more delicious.

"Good boy, eat less of this kind of thing in the future." Zhuo Shao said to Liang Chen.

Liang Chen quite liked eating hamburgers, but after Zhuo Shao said so, he still nodded.

Eat less... just eat less... at least it's not impossible to eat.

Zhuo Shao said that the hamburger was not tasty, Zhuo Ting was a little upset at first, but thinking of the price of the hamburger, she stopped saying anything.

After eating KFC, it was only one o'clock in the afternoon, but Zhuo Shao didn't continue shopping with his two children.

"Let's go." Zhuo Shao said, "Let's find a place to live."

There are many hotels in the city center, but Zhuo Shao didn't choose to live here.

He found a taxi, finally reported an address, and asked, "Master driver, is there a hotel over there?"

"Yes, there is a hotel over there." The driver said.

"Then master, you can send us to the nearby hotel." Zhuo Shao said.

"Okay, no problem! By the way, what are you doing there?" The driver was a little curious.

"I have a friend studying there." Zhuo Shao said with a smile.

The address Zhuo Shao reported was H City Foreign Language School.

And this school is the school Liang Xin attended.

He wanted to take a look around the school. If he was lucky, he might meet Liang Xin?

Thinking of this, Zhuo Shao's heart beat violently.

I don't know what Liang Xin looks like now...he should be like a little prince, right?

"So that's it." The driver smiled, but Liang Chen looked at Zhuo Shao curiously.

Zhuo Shao... Do you have any friends who study in H City?

Liang Chen wanted to ask Zhuo Shao who his friend was, but he happened to see Zhuo Shao looking out the window with a happy smile on his lips.

The former Zhuo Shao didn't like to laugh, but the recent Zhuo Shao often laughs.But even so, Liang Chen had never seen Zhuo Shao smile so beautifully, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of warmth.

Zhuo Shao smiled very nicely, Liang Chen was a little stunned, and noticed some changes in Zhuo Shao.

Zhuo Shao is very busy these days, and he has been running outside on weekends. Not only has he lost a little weight, but he has also turned darker.

But even so, his spirit is very good, his eyes are very, very bright.

Now, there was something more in these eyes, which made Liang Chen's heart skip a beat.

"Why do you keep staring at me?" Zhuo Shao smiled and looked at Liang Chen.

"Zhuo Shao, who is your friend?" Liang Chen couldn't help asking, he didn't know what was wrong, but when he heard Zhuo Shao talk about his friend, he was a little unhappy.

"It's a pen pal who wrote several letters before." Zhuo Shao said nonsense.

It was very popular for people to make pen pals at this time. After he published a composition in a composition magazine in the first year of junior high school, he received several letters from others, all of whom wanted to make pen pals with him. He even wrote a few times with one of them. letter.

Of course, after something happened at home, he never wrote to anyone again.

"Is that so..." Liang Chen was a little disappointed.

The letters in the school were all distributed to them by the squad leader after he went to the reception room to get them. He had also seen Zhuo Shao receive letters from others, and secretly wrote an unsigned letter to Zhuo Shao, saying that he liked it very much. I like Zhuo Shao very much.

He didn't even write his signature. Of course Zhuo Shao didn't reply, but it turned out that Zhuo Shao still had a pen pal he cared about?

The hotel next to the foreign language school is quite high-end, so it costs 150 yuan to stay one night.

Although Zhuo Shao already had some money, he was reluctant to spend it recklessly, so instead of asking for two rooms, he asked for a standard room with his household registration booklet.

He and Liang Chen were both relatively young, and at first the hotel people were a little reluctant to let them stay, but Zhuo Shao said that his parents would come over tomorrow, and after some hard work, the hotel finally let them stay.

After entering the hotel room and putting down his luggage, Zhuo Shao wanted to take a shower, but he gave up after checking the time.

The foreign language school is dormitory. Today, Sunday, is the day when the students return to school. Most of the students will come to school after dinner.

It's three o'clock in the afternoon, maybe some students who arrived early have come to the school.

He wanted to go to the school gate and wait to see if he could wait for Liang Xin.
