Reborn to Strive

Early the next morning, Shi Zhen went to Fang Changming's house first.

Now the roof of this house has been completely covered, and work such as tiling the exterior wall is being done.

This job is not difficult, but it takes a lot of practice to make it fast.

After Shi Zhen taught Shi Daniu and the others, he asked them to post slowly. As for himself...he found someone to work with him on water and electricity for the house.

Whether a house is comfortable or uncomfortable to use actually has a lot to do with how many sockets there are, and whether the switch layout is good or not.

Nowadays, in many houses in rural areas, there are very few sockets, and it is very inconvenient to use the switch.

Shi Zhen used to build houses for people back then, and he also knew something about water and electricity. It was a bit troublesome for him to do it all by himself, but he knew where the switch was best placed.

For example, in the bedroom, switches and sockets are placed on both sides of the bed, which is convenient to use.

There should be more sockets in the kitchen, and the restaurant cannot be without sockets...

The electrician had never taken on such a complicated job, and was almost confused by Shi Zhen, and today was the day of hydropower inspection.

Shi Zhen specially called Fang Changming and explained to Fang Changming the situation of each switch.

There are so many wires on the wall, if it were an ordinary house, maybe Shi Zhen would suspect that Shi Zhen deliberately spent more money on them. Fortunately, Fang Changming is a local tyrant. Hearing Shi Zhen's explanation, his eyes became brighter and brighter: "This is really useful. Convenient!"

Shi Zhen even arranged the outlets for the air conditioner, which is really good!

Shi Zhen also talked about how to decorate the kitchen.

It is not easy to make custom-made cabinets for later generations, but some low walls can be built with bricks, tiles, countertops, and wooden doors can be installed outside.

This not only saves money, but also works well.

Fang Changming naturally had no objection to this, and even after Shi Zhen's description, he was very interested in his unfinished kitchen.

Shi Zhen also discovered that Fang Changming likes more luxurious ones.

That's right, people at this time have suffered. Who doesn't like a more luxurious house?In this case, the ceiling of the house and the like must be arranged.

After checking and accepting the water and electricity, Fang Changming gave another part of the money.

He gave money very readily, mainly because his younger brother spent a lot more money than Shi Zhen and him.

It can be seen from this that Shi Zhen did not cheat him with money.

As long as Shi Zhen builds the house well, he doesn't mind letting Shi Zhen earn more money.

Fang Changming left soon. After Fang Changming left, Shi Zhen first had dinner with Shi Daniu and the others, and then rode a bicycle to the town station to pick up Guan Baiyu.

Normally, Guan Baiyu came back by bus.

As for why he rides a bicycle... To be honest, the bicycle is the most convenient.

His car has big wheels, and if he pedals hard, he can go very fast.

When Shi Zhen arrived at the bus station, he didn't wait long before he saw Guan Baiyu get off the bus.

He drove Guan Baiyu to see the dilapidated house he had just bought.

He thought that Guan Baiyu would feel disappointed when he saw this house, but he didn't expect that, when Guan Baiyu saw the house, he said: "Brother, this location is very good, it's used by He to open a shop!"

Guan Baiyu looked around the house, and said: "There is an open space at the door of this house, and many things can be placed outside the door."

"Yes," Shi Zhen laughed, "I'm going to buy a carload of bricks this afternoon, and start repairing the house tonight."

Guan Baiyu said: "Brother, let me help you!"

Shi Zhen agreed: "Okay."

Shi Zhen changed the tractor, went to the brick factory to buy a carload of red bricks, transported them to the house he just bought, and moved the bricks into the house.

In the countryside, everyone bought bricks and piled them up at the door of their house. After all, neighbors knew each other well, and no one would steal bricks.

But this is in a town, so it's safer to put the bricks in the house.

When Shi Zhen moved the bricks, Guan Baiyu followed and handed the bricks on the tractor to Shi Zhen.

When the two were working, many people from the neighbors came to watch the fun and asked them what they were going to do.

Shi Zhen didn't hide anything: "We bought this house and want to repair it."

"Do you need so many bricks for repairs? You don't want to re-build the house, do you? That's not acceptable, it will block our light!" an old man said.

Shi Zhen smiled good-naturedly: "We just repair it, we won't build it higher, if we don't repair this house, we can't live in it."

The old man looked at Shi Zhen suspiciously, but he didn't say much.

When Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu moved the bricks into the house, they also saw the elementary school students passing by them after school.

This is indeed a nice place.

After moving the bricks, Shi Zhen drove to pick up Shi Daniu and the others. After dinner in the evening, Shi Zhen took Shi Daniu and the others to the town again, and dug a trench on the outside next to the wall of the original house.

Shi Zhen planned to build a new wall on the outside of the original wall of this house, and then cap it off... The broken house in the middle will be demolished after he has built the outer wall.

He directly demolished the house and rebuilt it, which is prone to troubles, such as the need for approval or something, so he can fool around for a while by saying that he just built an extra wall for reinforcement.

That night, Shi Zhen simply made the foundation, and then built walls on it bit by bit.

The house he built was actually a bit bigger than the original house, but the people around him didn't notice anything wrong.

The house is really small, but in just three nights, the outer walls were almost finished.

Shi Zhen demolished the house inside, and dug up all the slate bricks on the ground inside.

At that time, when building houses in rural areas, the only bricks that could be bought were red bricks. The red bricks were bright red, and many people thought they were better than the old blue bricks.

But in fact, the quality of the blue bricks used in old buildings in the past is much better than the red bricks that everyone uses now.

The house was originally built with green bricks, but now Shi Zhen left all those green bricks behind.

He didn't buy many red bricks, and the house could be raised a little higher with blue bricks, and some things inside could also be built with these blue bricks.

Shi Zhengai's house is taller than the original house, but not much higher, and the neighbors around him don't have much opinion.

And he himself is very satisfied with this equivalent to rebuilding the house.

The floor of this house is three meters high, and there is a small attic with the highest floor of more than two meters high. Of course, because the roof is sloped, the middle of the small attic is two meters five, and the two sides are actually very low.

But here, you can put a lot of things.

Then Shi Zhen began to paint the floor and walls again...

When Guan Baiyu came back from another prostration, the little house had already been completely built and looked brand new.

But it will have to dry for ten days and a half months before it can be inhabited.

This house was bought by Shi Zhen, but Shi Dalin paid for the bricks and repairs later. Because the labor was free and some bricks and tiles were removed, the house was completely refurbished, water and electricity were done, and it didn’t cost much. Thousands of dollars.

At this moment, the doors are opened on both sides of the house, but there are no windows. In the corner, a small stove is set up, and there is a small faucet there. Make something to eat.

As for the toilet, there is a newly built public toilet nearby, you can go there-the house is too small, and there is really no room for it.

I already have a house, and the next step is to buy counters and purchases.

This money was also paid by Shi Dalin.

In the evening, the Shi family.

Shi Dalin lit the dry tobacco again, counting the money in his hand while smoking.

His savings may not be enough to buy goods.

"Brother and sister-in-law's fried skewer stall, business is really good recently, everyone goes there to buy that iron pork tenderloin. People in the Wang family don't know where they bought it, so they can't sell this, so they can only hide from big brother and the others... That's great." Zhao Meiyun came in from the outside and said with a smile.

She went out for a stroll just now, and saw Shi Dashan's fried skewer stand surrounded by many people.

Ever since she found out that Shi Zhen had bought a house for them to open a store, Zhao Meiyun's health recovered quickly.

Zhao Meiyun only went to see the house after her health was fully recovered. At that time, Shi Zhen had almost built the house. She was not disappointed in this house at all.

After watching it, I still feel good.

Today she saw that Wang Zugen's parents were unable to please Shi Dashan and his wife... She was even happier.

That family is too hateful, and now they are finally at a disadvantage!

"Yeah." Shi Dalin is also in a good mood. Wang Zugen and the others set up a stall, and everything needs to be bought. The stall also costs money to find someone to do it, and the initial cost is quite a lot. Now they can earn money after a day. , but the earning is definitely not as much as he used to!

Zhao Meiyun said again: "I didn't expect the fried skewers stall to be so lively. I knew we could do it again..."

"If it were us, it wouldn't work, big brother and their brains." Shi Dalin said.

Seeing that the business of Shi Dashan and his stall was so good, Shi Dalin was also a little envious, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was not good enough, so he gave up.

Zhao Meiyun always felt that she was not as good as Chen Xiaofen. She used to ask Chen Xiaofen for advice when something happened to her... she nodded in agreement.

Of course, the main reason why she recognized these things so much was because Zhao Dongjuan didn't whisper in her ear.

No one always mentioned favoritism to her, so she didn't think much about it.

If Shi Zhen didn't sell his stall, he still couldn't afford to buy a house!

Compared with setting up a stall, it must be more decent to have a shop.

Zhao Meiyun talked to Shi Dalin about opening a shop again.

Shi Dalin thought of something, and said: "The house where the shop is opened belongs to Ah Zhen, and he will also give us his tricycle and freezer...We don't want to use his for nothing. If we make money in the future, we have to give it to him. Money."

Zhao Meiyun hurriedly said: "Give what you want!" Her Qiujuan earned money and didn't give much to her family, let alone Dongjuan.

On the other hand, Shi Zhen, at the beginning, Shi Zhen gave the stall, and Shi Zhen paid for the treatment of her broken leg. This shop also depends on Shi Zhen to open, and it should be paid back to Shi Zhen after earning money. .

Shi Dalin said again: "I don't have enough money to buy the goods. You can ask Qiujuan if you can borrow some from her, and the food expenses she paid, are you there? Let's use it first. I'll make it up for her later."

Shi Dalin asked Zhao Meiyun to collect the food expenses paid by Zhao Qiujuan, and planned to use it as a dowry for Zhao Qiujuan when Zhao Qiujuan got married in the future.

"The money is with me! And Qiujuan, she is definitely willing to borrow money." Zhao Meiyun readily agreed.

It's just a loan, and her family, Qiujuan, cannot be unhappy.

When Zhao Qiujuan heard that Shi Dalin wanted to borrow money, she was not at all unhappy, and even showed her passbook to Shi Dalin.

Before, she didn't want to tell others how much money she earned, because she was afraid that Zhao Dongjuan would miss her, but now it's different.

Neither Shi Dalin nor Shi Zhen cared about her money.

Zhao Qiujuan earns about [-] yuan a month. She has been setting up a stall for more than ten months, and the total money she earns is less than [-] yuan.

Zhao Dongjuan got a 6000 yuan dowry when she got married. She felt that she was too good to be good, and she didn't like her sister who was always digging and searching, but in fact... the money Zhao Qiujuan earned had already exceeded her dowry money!

However, Zhao Qiujuan will pay 100 yuan for food at home every month, and from time to time, she will also buy something at home, plus some clothes...

Her current deposit is only seven thousand.

When Shi Dalin saw the passbook Zhao Qiujuan took out, he was shocked. He really didn't expect that his quiet stepdaughter would earn so much money.

In contrast, he spent a lot on buying color TVs and so on, and his family had a lot of miscellaneous expenses, but he didn't have much savings.

Zhao Qiujuan took the passbook and said, "Dad, I will go to the bank with you tomorrow to get the money. You can just keep the money and use it. Don't rush to pay me back."

If it wasn't for Shi Zhen, where would she earn money?And she is not married yet, according to her thinking, even if Shi Dalin asked her to hand over all the money, it should be.

Of course, if this is the case, she will definitely save some private money.

"I don't need so much to buy goods." Shi Dalin said, "It's enough for you to lend me five thousand, and the rest of the money...you can buy a bicycle and some beautiful clothes. Girls, you have to dress up too. .”

Zhao Qiujuan didn't buy any clothes for herself this year, and she was disgraced most of the time.

Zhao Qiujuan was not in the mood at first, but when Shi Dalin said this, she really thought about buying a bicycle.

Just buy one of those nice, women's bikes.
