Reborn to Strive

Guan Baiyu believed what Shi Zhen said to him, and also believed that Shi Zhen wanted to treat him well.

After Shi Zhen came to him for the first time, he went to inquire about Shi Zhen, and he also observed Shi Zhen in the past few days.

His life is pretty bad, he can hardly eat anything delicious, and Shi Zhen's life doesn't look so good either.

Among other things, Shi Zhen's clothes were worse than his.

He used to blame his mother for not wanting him, but seeing Shi Zhen's appearance, this resentment disappeared.

His mother should have given him to someone else because she really couldn't support him.

Shi Zhen is so poor, he still came to him and gave him money, after all, it is impossible to want to harm him.

That is, such a Shi Zhen may not have the money to study for him.

The tuition fee for a technical secondary school is two or three hundred for a semester, and there are living expenses and so on. After a year, if he doesn't pay attention, he will spend one or two thousand.

If it doesn't work, I still try to find a job.

When Guan Baiyu returned to his home, he turned off the lights and fell asleep.

He didn't dare to use too much electricity, after all, he had to pay the electricity bill.

Guan Baiyu went to bed early, and on the other hand, Shi Zhen also told Guan Jianguo that Guan Baiyu was his cousin.

Guan Jianguo was a little surprised, but like Guan Baiyu, he had no doubts.

In fact, these years, people from the Guan family have always wondered why the people from Guan Baiyu's grandpa and mother didn't come to find Guan Baiyu, but now that someone is looking for him, he only has the feeling of "he finally came".

After talking about the situation between himself and Guan Baiyu, Shi Zhen said that he would go to Guan Baiyu's place for dinner in the future.

Guan Jianguo had no objection, but his mother was a little upset - if Shi Zhen and Shi Xinghuo didn't eat at their house, she would have no money to take it.

After Shi Zhen finished speaking and planned to leave, Guan Jianguo said again at this time: "The rice at Xiao Yu's side is probably enough for him to eat alone. When you go to eat there, remember to buy some rice."

"I will." Shi Zhen said.

Shi Zhen came to talk to Guan Jianguo, and Shi Xinghuo came with him. When he got back to their house, he immediately asked, "Ah Zhen, do you have a cousin?"

"Yes! I came here to find him." Shi Zhen said.

There is a reason why Shi Zhen dared to make up such a story - his mother married from outside the mountain to the mountain. No one in his village knows where she is from, not even his father.

However, her mother probably hid in the mountains because her background was not very good. Otherwise, her mother was so beautiful, she would never have married his father.

And now, the fuck is gone.

When he was eight years old, his mother died of illness, leaving him and his sister to live with his father.

His younger sister was only four years old at the time, and she was not in good health, crying all day long. His father couldn't control her, so she was introduced to marry his stepmother.

His stepmother was a few years older than his father, and she was not very good looking. After marrying his father with her two daughters, she could live with his father at ease and treated him and his sister pretty well.

His stepmother could not treat them badly. He and her sister were born and bred in the village, but she and her daughter were from outside. His father also valued his own flesh and blood more and could not allow his stepmother to treat them badly.

As for eccentricity... Their village is too poor, and there is nothing materially that can make her eccentric. As for her getting closer to her two daughters, it is inevitable.

Because of this, Shi Zhen forcibly created a cousin for himself, and no one would doubt him, not even his father.

Shi Zhen still knew his father very well.

The next day, Shi Zhen got up at four o'clock in the morning.

Rubbing his sore shoulders from digging river mud, he opened the door and went out to the town.

He couldn't go empty-handed when he went to Guan Baiyu's house for dinner.

There is a vegetable market in the town. It has just been built, and it is divided into upper and lower floors. For people at this time, it is quite big.

This is also the center of the town. On the upper floors of this building, there are small shops that are rented out to merchants to sell clothes, toys, needles, threads and brains. The downstairs is a place to sell vegetables.

It was Shi Zhen's first time here. Fortunately, the place was easy to find, but he came too early, and the food market was not even open.

However, although the door of the vegetable market was not opened, there were people waiting at the door, and when the door opened, these people rushed in with a whoosh.

Shi Zhen followed in and saw the appearance of the vegetable market.

There is an unpleasant smell that lingers for a long time. Each stall is laid by the stall owner himself. There are all kinds of stalls, and they are connected into long strips.

As for those who rushed in, some climbed over the booth, and some got in from under the booth.

Not long after these people entered the vegetable market, people who bought vegetables also came. Some of these people got up early, and some opened shops, planning to buy ingredients for the day early.

Shi Zhen found a stall and asked about the price of pork.

The stall owner came in with a bicycle pushing half a pig, and there was a woman beside him carrying a basket full of pork. He put the half pig on his stall and unloaded the pork while Answer Shi Zhen: "Strip meat is two yuan and five catties, and sitting buttock meat is two yuan and eighty one catty."

The so-called strip meat is pork belly, and the buttock meat is pork hind leg meat.

In the past few years, pork belly has always been more expensive, but in recent years, everyone suddenly likes to eat lean meat, and pork hind legs have become more expensive.

Shi Zhen asked carefully, and finally bought a catty of pure fat meat, ready to take it home to make lard.

Fatty meat only cost one yuan per catty. After buying fatty meat, Shi Zhen bought two sets of chicken racks for two yuan at a nearby stall.

The frozen chicken racks have been removed with chicken breasts, legs, wings, etc. There is not much meat on them, but the price is cheap.

After buying these two things, Shi Zhen thought about it and bought another ten eggs.

When Guan Baiyu is growing his body, he should eat better.

It was only 06:30 when Shi Zhen returned to the village after shopping.

He took his things, called Shang Shi Xinghuo, and went to Guan Baiyu's house.

Guan Baiyu got up early, but hadn't gone to school yet, so he was a little surprised to see him bring these things.

Shi Zhen smiled at him: "We'll eat together, and I'll just buy some food."

Time was tight in the morning, Guan Baiyu had to go to school at seven o'clock, and he and Shi Xinghuo had to leave at seven o'clock... Shi Zhen didn't delay, he asked Guan Baiyu to light a fire, boiled lard in an iron pan, and then put the oil residue Put it all together with the lard, and finally rely on the little oil left at the bottom of the pot, put in four eggs and fry them, and then put them in. Guan Baiyu made extra preparations yesterday to eat rice for the day today, and fried rice with an egg.

This meal was not much, and after being divided into three parts, neither he nor Shi Xinghuo could eat enough, but Shi Xinghuo had instant noodles, which was barely enough.

As for him, it's okay to eat less.

"You actually put four eggs..." Guan Baiyu was shocked.

He also had fried rice, when his grandma was alive.

His grandma dipped her gauze-wrapped chopsticks in oil, rubbed a circle on the pan, put rice and salt in it and fried it, even if it was fried rice, eggs were absolutely not part of it.

Now Shi Zhen put four eggs in one go!

"Eat more." Shi Zhen gave Guan Baiyu a bowl full of rice.

Guan Baiyu lowered his head and began to eat slowly.

The fried rice with eggs fried in lard was indescribably delicious. It had been a long, long time since he had eaten such delicious food.

The last time he ate meat was during the Chinese New Year, when he went to his adoptive parents' house for a New Year's Eve dinner.

But at that time, he couldn't eat too much. The chickens killed on New Year's Eve would be used by his adoptive parents to entertain guests on the second and third days of the first lunar month.

After dinner, Su Baiyu took the instant noodles that Shi Zhen gave him yesterday to school, and Shi Zhen and Shi Xinghuo also went to work separately.

For these small workers, there is a saying that if you change a job, you need to change your muscles and bones.

For example, if you do the work of picking mud and bricks one day, your body won’t be sore here and there if you do it smoothly. At this time, if you change to dredging work, your body will hurt again.

Shi Zhen has been aching all over these days, but he is still full of energy.

He is more motivated than at this time in his previous life.

He is alive, and the people around him are also alive, which is really the best thing.

Today's lunch dish is taro roast pork, of course there are more taro and less meat.

Shi Zhen would keep the vegetables back two days ago, but he didn't keep them today, one reason is that he didn't eat much in the morning and he was really hungry, and the other reason was that he bought vegetables this morning.

"You boy, I'm finally willing to eat vegetables today." Wang Chengfa smiled when he saw Shi Zhen eating.

He has a good impression of Shi Zhen, after all Shi Zhen works hard.

Shi Zhen smiled at him, but didn't speak.

Wang Chengfa said again: "The silt will be ready after two days of digging, and the slope by the river will be repaired next. Do you want to stay and continue?"

"Yes." Shi Zhen said.

"Then you stay and move the stone." Wang Chengfa said.

"Uncle Wang, I used to be a mason. If I have other jobs, I can do it too."

Wang Chengfa said: "Have you ever learned how to be a mason? Well, I see. I'll watch and see if you can do something else."

Shi Zhen agreed with a smile.

He has worked so hard these past few days, but he did nothing wrong and can continue to work on the construction site.

He can't find another job for the time being, so he can only do it first.

When work was over at night, Shi Zhen trotted back, but Guan Baiyu hadn't come home yet.

At this time, many houses in rural areas did not have door locks. They were kept open during the day, and when entering the house at night, they were locked with a door bolt inside.

Guan Baiyu's house did have a lock, but there was only one key, and Shi Zhen didn't have one.

He sat on a stone by the door and waited for a while before Guan Baiyu and Shi Xinghuo came back and entered the room together.

Guan Baiyu scooped up three small bowls of rice, washed them and put them in the pot to cook. He wanted to steam and order some dishes, but was stopped by Shi Zhen: "Let's do it separately."

The rice was almost cooked, so Guan Baiyu stopped turning on the fire again. Seeing this, Shi Zhen put the raw rice in the pot into several large bowls, put some water in the pot, and put the chopped chicken rack and Put the oil residue in.

When it was over, he put all the soy sauce that Guan Baiyu had left in it, chopped the garlic sprouts that Guan Baiyu had pulled from the vegetable field, and threw it in, and just boiled it for a pot.

When cooking, he put the rice on the steaming rack, covered the pot and steamed it for a while, and the rice was no longer raw.

The chicken rack didn't taste very good, but it was meat after all.

No matter whether it was Guan Baiyu or Shi Xinghuo, they didn't dislike them at all. Shi Xinghuo even chewed and swallowed some chicken bones.

Shi Zhen was a little dissatisfied while eating, there were still too many things missing at home.

In this day and age, many households in the city already have home appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators, and televisions are no longer particularly rare items, and many people use gas stoves and the like.

But none of these Guan Baiyu!

And the place where they live... the ground is still muddy, such a place is very humid, Guan Baiyu living here is not good for health!

Shi Zhen's mind is full of various ways to make money, but he has only been reborn for a few days, and he has no capital or connections, so it is difficult to make money.

After eating, Guan Baiyu cleaned up, Shi Zhen hurriedly said, "I'll wash the dishes."

"I'll just come." Guan Baiyu said, Shi Zhen gave him eggs and chicken again today, how could he have the nerve to let Shi Zhen do the dishes again?

"I'll do it." Shi Zhen insisted, "Go and do your homework."

Guan Baiyu paused, and could only go to do his homework.

Shi Zhen poured water into the pot and used the old loofah to wash the dishes.

Guan Baiyu was with him in the previous life, and Guan Baiyu did all the housework. He never thought of helping, and this life can't be like this.

He hoped that Guan Baiyu, like the peers around him, would be loved and pampered by his family and grow up.

Guan Baiyu seldom goes home to do his homework.

There is not much homework in their school itself, and he can basically complete it in school.

But Shi Zhen asked him to do his homework, so he took out the book and read it.

Suddenly having a cousin, he thought he would be very uncomfortable, but now...he feels quite happy.

While washing the dishes, Shi Zhen chatted with Guan Baiyu, and also said some plans for the future: "You don't have to worry about running out of firewood, I'll go buy some mulberry sticks tomorrow."

The so-called mulberry sticks are the branches of the mulberry tree. Now in the village, except for Guan Baiyu, other people’s homes have enough firewood for burning, because they have mulberry sticks to burn besides the straw—the mulberry tree branches need to be pruned every year.

These cost only a few dollars. For a dollar, he might be able to buy a cart full of mulberry sticks.

"En." Guan Baiyu responded.

Shi Zhen also explained that he could have porridge tomorrow morning, and asked Guan Baiyu how he was doing at school.

Guan Baiyu was not doing well in school.

Yan Jiangtao came to school today, playing games in class affected him not to mention, and even called him dirty in public.

But as long as Yan Jiangtao didn't break his things, he didn't care if he just said a few words.

Guan Baiyu didn't say anything about this, only that he was doing well.

"Xiao Yu, how are your grades?" Shi Zhen asked.

Guan Baiyu said: "It's okay."

"Which one is usually ranked in the class?"

Guan Baiyu thought for a while, and said: "Normally, it's No.1."

"So powerful?" Shi Zhen was a little surprised: "What about in that grade?"

Guan Baiyu said: "It is also number one."

Shi Zhen was even more pleasantly surprised, but also a little puzzled.

Guan Baiyu's grades are so good, why did he go to an ordinary high school, logically... he can be recommended to the best high school in the city, right?

He chatted with someone at work today, and only then did he know that each junior high school has a few recommended spots, and he can recommend the best high school No. [-] Middle School in Changxi City.

Shi Zhen asked: "Then can you go to No. [-] Middle School?"

Guan Baiyu was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "I want to go to a technical secondary school, to study teacher training, so that I can become a primary school teacher in the future."

Without even thinking about it, Shi Zhen said: "What kind of technical secondary school should you study, you must go to high school, so that you can enter the university!"
