Reborn to Strive

Shi Zhen knew that today was his birthday.

But he didn't want to trouble others, so he didn't mention it. He just cooked noodles for himself in the morning.

Unexpectedly, Guan Baiyu would come to him on a special trip to celebrate his birthday... Shi Zhen looked at the cake, a little stunned: "How do you know that today is my birthday?"

"Brother, you said it once before." Guan Baiyu said, he asked Shi Zhen when he first met Shi Zhen.

Shi Zhen couldn't remember when he said it, but Guan Baiyu always remembered that he was very happy.

In his previous life, Guan Baiyu would also celebrate his birthday.

After his mother passed away, no one celebrated his birthday. With the poor economic conditions, adults have no time to think about their children's birthdays.

So at the beginning, when Guan Baiyu celebrated his birthday for the first time, he was very moved.

Now he was just as moved, and he took a deep breath before showing it: "Why did you still buy a cake? How can it be so troublesome for a birthday?"

After he finished speaking, he felt that he was a bit stiff in saying this, and he was afraid that Guan Baiyu would be unhappy, so he added: "Xiao Yu, it's not that I don't like it, I..."

"Brother, don't you guys have to rest for a while in the afternoon? Is it almost time? Let's eat cake together?"

"Okay." Shi Zhen nodded, suddenly realized that he was a little dirty, and immediately said, "I'll go wash my hands!"

In order to facilitate the mixing of cement, Shi Zhen connected the faucet and came over early. He was not afraid of the cold, so he directly put cold water on his hands and face.

Liang Qinxuan got out of the parked van at this time, and immediately said: "Xiaoyu, your brother is building a house for someone? Isn't it very hard?"

After he finished speaking, he saw Shi Ting again.

Shi Ting was moving bricks and sifting sand today. The whole person looked dusty, but her eyes were big and bright, staring straight at... the cake.

Liang Qinxuan swallowed: "Xiao Yu, your sister...does this kind of work?"

When Guan Baiyu saw Shi Ting's appearance, he knew that his brother was probably "educating" Shi Ting again.

He felt that Shi Ting had some problems, for example, he couldn't keep the money... But many children were like this, and he didn't know why his brother always wanted Shi Ting to change.

After he realized his feelings for Shi Zhen, he didn't know where the jealousy he had been for Shi Ting earlier, and he began to feel sorry for Shi Ting.

"My brother is very demanding of Tingting." Guan Baiyu said.

"Your brother is so willing! If only I had such a beautiful younger sister..." Speaking of younger sister, Liang Qinxuan thought of the little baby who was always crying at home, and suddenly lost the mood to continue talking.

After Chen Shaojin was locked up in the detention center for two months, he was sent to the juvenile detention center and has not come out yet.

In this, of course, his father's contribution is indispensable.

In the past few months, the relationship between his father and his stepmother has been normal, and his younger sister, who is not in good health, always cries.

Fortunately, I won't cry until my little face turns blue, and I look a little fatter.

"Brother Baiyu, today is my brother's birthday?" Shi Ting asked Guan Baiyu.

"Yes." Guan Baiyu said.

Shi Ting was a little embarrassed: "I have forgotten... I always forget."

"Take a notebook and write it down in the future, so that you won't forget it." Guan Baiyu said.

Shi Ting nodded seriously: "Yes! I always forget my own birthday, so I must write it down in the future!"

Before her birthday, she must remind her brother to buy her a cake.

After finishing speaking, Shi Ting started to look at the cake again: "Brother Baiyu, is this a cake?"

"Yes." Guan Baiyu said.

Shi Ting swallowed: "I haven't eaten cake yet!"

"I'll give you the biggest piece later." Guan Baiyu said.

When Shi Zhen heard these words when he came back, he gave Shi Ting a sour look.

In the past, Guan Baiyu gave him the best.

At this moment, it was time for everyone to rest in the afternoon, so Shi Zhen called Shi Daniu and the others to come down to eat cake.

Guan Baiyu bought this cake from the best cake shop in Changxi City. It costs 30 yuan. Not only does it look beautiful, but it also comes with plastic knives and forks, candles and paper plates.

When Shi Ting saw those candles and knives and forks, she liked them very much. She kept playing with them and asked when they could eat them.

Liang Qinxuan said: "You have to light the candles first, then make a wish, blow out the candles, and finally eat! By the way, you have to sing the birthday song."

Liang Qinxuan is very familiar with this process. In his memory, every birthday, he would eat cake.

He also often invites many people to his home to celebrate his birthday.

The experienced Liang Qinxuan instructed Shi Zhen and others to go through the process, and even urged Shi Zhen to make a wish.

Shi Zhen didn't believe this in his previous life and was always perfunctory, but this time he put his hands together and made a wish.

He hopes that his family members will be in good health, that Guan Baiyu will have a smooth life, and that he can get what he wants.

Shi Ting shared the cake.

She held on to the plastic knife and let her cut it.

As soon as she came up, she cut a large piece for Shi Zhen, and then Guan Baiyu, Liang Qinxuan, and the six workers.

When it came to herself, the cake she cut for herself was not small, but not as big as Shi Zhen's.

"I won't eat this food, Tingting, you can eat it." Shi Daniu said at this time.

Shi Zhen said: "There are too many Tingtings to eat, you can try it."

After Shi Zhen persuaded a few words, Shi Daniu carefully picked up a paper plate to eat the cake, took two bites and said: "This cake is so delicious, I will buy one for my son's birthday in the future."

Shi Zhen: "..."

Shi Duofu was different, he asked Guan Baiyu, "Where did you buy this cake?"

Knowing that the cake was bought by Changxi City, Shi Duofu sighed.

For people in this era, sweet and greasy things like cakes are really delicious.

Anyway, everyone liked it.

There were so many of them, after dividing the cake, there was only a small piece of cake left, Shi Ting specially kept it at this time, saying that she would bring it back to Shi Dalin.

Shi Ting had finished eating her own cake, so she took a knife to scrape the sticky cream on the cake box and ate it until it was clean.

Both Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu knew that she was just greedy, and Liang Qinxuan looked at her, but felt very sympathetic to her.

The child knew at a glance that he was treated badly at home.

Well, it doesn't have to be because of being treated badly, but because the family is poor... Sigh, Shi Zhen has two brothers and sisters, it's not easy!

Thinking of this, Liang Qinxuan saw Shi Ting collecting unlit candles and everyone's used forks and washing them, obviously planning to take them back.

Another good kid like Guan Baiyu, who is poor but frugal and tenacious!

Guan Baiyu waited for Shi Zhen to finish eating the cake, then took the bicycle from the van to Shi Zhen: "Brother, this is my birthday present for you."

"Why did you buy me a bicycle?" This bicycle costs hundreds of dollars.

Guan Baiyu said: "Brother, didn't you say you want to buy one!"

"It costs a lot of money..."

"I'm rich now!" Guan Baiyu said.

Shi Ting looked at Guan Baiyu adoringly, her brother Baiyu looked so handsome!

Shi Zhen also knew that Guan Baiyu was rich now, so he didn't refuse the bicycle.

The bicycle is black, the style that men often ride nowadays, Shi Zhen touched it, and couldn't put it down.

It was given to him by Guan Baiyu.

It's a pity that Guan Baiyu has given gifts and is about to leave - he still has to go to school in Changxi City.After sending Guan Baiyu away, Shi Zhen felt empty in his heart.

Guan Baiyu and Liang Qinxuan went back to Changxi City this time and went directly to school.

After the two arrived at school, they separated.

Guan Baiyu went back to the dormitory to put down his things first, then went to the classroom with his homework on his back, and started to do the questions.

The students in their experimental class are very fond of learning. Like him, there are many people who come to school early to study. Some students live far away from their homes, and they don't even go home on Sundays.

Guan Baiyu is very busy this weekend, he didn't finish his homework, and he just started to do it now. He was doing it, and his deskmate came: "Guan Baiyu, I heard that you went out to work on weekends?"

"Part-time job?" Guan Baiyu was puzzled.

Guan Baiyu's deskmate said: "Someone said they saw you stepping on the sewing machine in a small workshop outside on weekends."

Guan Baiyu remembered that when he was making samples of pencil cases on Saturday, he met a classmate.

The man clearly misunderstood.

But that's okay... Guan Baiyu didn't refute.

Guan Baiyu's deskmate was a little sympathetic: "You have to study and work at the same time, will it be very hard?" At first he thought that Guan Baiyu was not poor, but now he has accepted the setting that Guan Baiyu is poor.

Guan Baiyu smiled: "It's not hard."

On the other side, Shi Zhen and the others also returned home.

Shi Dashan hasn't come back yet, but Zhao Qiujuan and Zhao Meiyun are here, and they have already helped prepare a sumptuous dinner.

Seeing Shi Zhen, Zhao Meiyun felt embarrassed, and said cautiously: "Ah Zhen, are you back?"

"Aunt Zhao, has Dongjuan's matter been resolved?" Shi Zhen asked.

Zhao Meiyun was a little apprehensive, her face flushed red: "Not yet...not yet."

For Zhao Meiyun these two days, it was really difficult.

When Zhao Dongjuan just came back yesterday, she was very happy to see her daughter, but when she heard that her daughter was going to divorce, she was dumbfounded.

Although she didn't like Wang Zugen, she didn't get divorced just after getting married!

When the Wang family came to her later, she was even more at a loss, so she pointed to Shi Dalin to give her advice.

Shi Dalin did speak at that time, asking Zhao Dongjuan to either go back with the Wang family, or return the bride price to them.

But her youngest daughter was unwilling, and the Wang family also felt that paying the bride price was not enough, and asked them to pay back 1 yuan plus three gold medals for Zhao Dongjuan.

The Wang family refused to leave, so Zhao Meiyun asked Zhao Qiujuan to ask Shi Zhen for help while Shi Dalin locked the color TV.

As a result, Zhao Qiujuan left on the front foot, and Shi Dalin took Shi Ting on the back foot.

Her husband left just like that... Zhao Meiyun felt that the sky was about to collapse, so she just cried.

That is to say, Zhao Dongjuan is so powerful that she can fight against seven or eight members of the Wang family by herself——Wang Zugen's sister and brother-in-law also came.

There was actually quite a commotion last night. Later, when Zhao Qiujuan went back, the police all came and tried to persuade the Wang family to leave.

At night, Zhao Meiyun cried to Zhao Qiujuan all night, saying that her life was miserable and that she was an unfilial daughter.

Although Zhao Qiujuan has a soft temper, after so many years, she has long been dissatisfied with her sister Zhao Dongjuan.

In front of Zhao Dongjuan, she couldn't say anything, but seeing Zhao Meiyun like this, she couldn't help it: "If you really don't like her, kick her out."

Zhao Meiyun said: "Others will talk about me."

"Who would say you?" Zhao Qiujuan said, "It's embarrassing if they come to make trouble every day. Maybe the Wang family will come to you again and ask you to pay 1 yuan."

After Zhao Meiyun started embroidering sweaters, her private money soared, but 1 yuan...that's too much!

This morning, Zhao Qiujuan didn't go to set up a stall, she discussed with Zhao Meiyun for a long time, first tricked Zhao Dongjuan to go out, then locked the door of the house and ran away.

They came to Shi Zhen's side.

Zhao Dongjuan was a little afraid of Shi Zhen and didn't dare to make trouble on Shi Zhen's side, they knew this.

"Ah Zhen, I can't help it." Zhao Meiyun looked at Shi Zhen and began to wipe away tears, "The Wang family is too fierce."

Zhao Qiujuan is better than Zhao Meiyun: "Ah Zhen, I'm really sorry, my mother doesn't want Dongjuan to come back, and Dongjuan's matter has nothing to do with us... Can you tell the Wang family not to come to us?"

Zhao Meiyun looked at Shi Zhen eagerly.

Shi Ting has some looks, but she actually learned from Zhao Meiyun.

Shi Zhendao: "It's easy to tell the Wang family not to come to you. But if you still help Zhao Dongjuan and keep in touch with Zhao Dongjuan, then I can manage it for a while, but not for a lifetime."

Zhao Meiyun was taken aback.

Zhao Qiujuan promised, "Ah Zhen, we promise not to associate with Dongjuan."

Seeing that Zhao Meiyun didn't speak, Zhao Qiujuan said: "Mom, Dongjuan has so much money in her hand, has she ever bought you anything? Do you still want to take responsibility for her?"

"I... Ah Zhen, I won't associate with Dongjuan anymore." Zhao Meiyun said.

After she finished speaking, she didn't know why, but she breathed a sigh of relief.

People like Zhao Meiyun are actually quite common.

Shi Daniu and his wife were deceived by their son. Shi Daniu refused to give money to his son once, and was beaten by his son... They still worked hard to pay their son's debts.

But Zhao Meiyun has this attitude, it is better than not having this attitude.

Shi Zhendao: "Later, I will bring someone to accompany you to Wang's house, and explain this matter clearly."

If Zhao Dongjuan doesn't pay back the money, the Wang family will definitely not let it go, and it is impossible for Zhao Dongjuan to pay back the money...

Now that their family has drawn a clear line with Zhao Dongjuan, they can get out of this matter.

Otherwise, the Wang family would come to sit at their house every day, and it would be quite annoying.

And the Wang family was really going to fight it out. When his father or Zhao Qiujuan set up a stall, they would stand by and speak ill of their family when they saw anyone... His father and Zhao Qiujuan's stall could not continue.

Don't think that he is alarmist, he has seen such things before.

"Okay, okay." Zhao Meiyun felt relieved, "Are we really okay? They said they were going to sue us..."

"It's okay." Shi Zhen said again, "Aunt Zhao, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, eat some first, and then go to bring some food to my dad."

Zhao Meiyun said: "We haven't eaten yet, but we have delivered dinner to Dalin, and also at noon."

Yesterday Shi Dalin was obviously angry, but today Zhao Meiyun spent his own money to cook a table of delicious food for Shi Zhen and Shi Dalin to make amends by the way.

Thinking of something, Zhao Meiyun said again: "Ah Zhen, today is your birthday, you should eat more."

Zhao Meiyun remembers the birthdays of the family members and the death dates of the elders who are no longer in the family.

But my family used to be poor, and what about four children, how hard is it to celebrate their birthdays one by one?Zhao Dongjuan might make a fuss about asking for this or that, so she just didn't bother.
