Reborn to Strive

The village where Fang's family lives is some distance from Guan's village, and the people in Guan's village don't know Fang's mother.

But they heard the conversation between Mother Fang and Shi Xingchao just now, and they couldn't help frowning.

No wonder Fang Miyan came to live here before she got married, so the house looks like this!

Her brother lost the money and was going to sell her?

As a mother, this is too partial.

In the countryside near Anshan Town, most girls want a bride price when they get married, but most families give the bride price to their daughters as a dowry.

A few will use the gift money, but they will not take all of it. They always have to prepare some dowry for their daughters.

No matter what, people who speak loudly from a lion are always despised.

"I lost 4!" Some people were amazed, that was [-]!In Guanjia Village, whoever has [-] yuan at this moment must be rich!

"This kind of prodigal son, if I definitely have to kill him, she will chase him out like a baby."

"That's right!"

"It also said that Mi Yan was kidnapped, is there such a kidnapper?"

……

The people of Guanjiacun didn't believe what Fang's mother said about Shi Xingchao abducting Fang Miyan.

Fang Miyan is doing well, cooking for Shi Zhen and the others during the day, and embroidering clothes with Shi Xingchao at night, how can he look like he was kidnapped?

Shi Xingchao is not the kind of man who is full of flamboyance and tricks women - the pretty girls in their village show their favor to Shi Xingchao and ask Shi Xingchao to buy her a drink of soda, but Shi Xingchao refuses.

If it were another man, ten or eight bottles of soda would have been delivered to the door earlier!

Everyone talked and talked, and they talked about gambling.

Just this year, more people gamble, and they even set up special dens.

These dens are generally in the countryside. The organizers will find a farmer, give them some money, and then borrow their houses for gamblers to gamble.

They will also arrange people to guard the nearby roads, and when they see the police coming, they will notify those who gamble and retreat quickly.

And in this kind of underground black gambling workshop, there are often people who provide usury loan services.

In their village, there are also people who go to such a place to gamble. When people talk about these people, they can't help but look down.

But...the one who lost the most money in their village did not lose [-].

"That young man, isn't he too young? How could his family give him so much money?"

"He is also powerful enough to lose all of them!"

"It's just too spoiled. Children are too spoiled. They want to be spoiled."

... Shi Zhen also felt that children are too pampered and easily spoiled.

During this period, in the countryside, many boys were actually spoiled. When these boys grew up, not a few became addicted to gambling.

Shi Daniu's son is one of them.

Most of the parents of these children only know to give their children various material comforts, but they don't know how to urge them to study.

They mixed in the society early, did not know the hard work of making money, and had money in their hands, so they naturally picked up some bad habits, gambling is just one of them.

Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu ate hot pot at noon, and ate a little simpler at night, but when they were eating, Shi Xingchao came.

"What's the matter?" Shi Zhen asked, Shi Xingchao usually wouldn't come over if he had nothing to do, especially when he came for lunch.

Shi Xingchao said: "Stop talking, I was kicked out by my mother, she said that I was too much to my mother-in-law today, and asked me to go to Fang's house to apologize tomorrow."

Shi Zhen: "..."

"Really, Fang Miyan hasn't seen her for several days, and they just came here, and they didn't ask her if she was doing well, but they were only thinking about asking for money... And I just took a look at her son's face, and she ran away It's..." Shi Xingchao was very annoyed.

"The older generation thinks differently," Shi Zhen said.People of his aunt's age wanted to be kind, so they naturally felt that Shi Xingchao was going too far.

"Hey!" Shi Xingchao sighed, and asked Shi Zhen: "Ah Zhen, do you have much food here?"

Shi Xingchao had a meal at Shi Zhen's place, and the next afternoon, he really took Fang Miyan to Fang's house.

They brought along with them various gifts prepared by Chen Xiaofen.

The gifts stayed at Fang's house, but they themselves came back soon. Shi Zhen chatted with Shi Xingchao to make sure they didn't suffer.

It's just... Shi Xingchao felt sorry for those gifts.

Shi Zhen: "..." I really don't need to worry too much about this.

On Guan Baiyu's birthday, Shi Zhen bought him a cake, and the two celebrated his birthday together.

After celebrating, he sent Guan Baiyu to the station, and took the rest of the cake to Shi Dalin to share with Shi Dalin and the others.

Of course, only give Shi Dalin a small piece.

Shi Zhen has always attached great importance to their health problems. He often told Shi Dalin that eating too much sweets and greasy food would make him sick. He also asked Zhao Meiyun to watch Shi Dalin, and don't let Shi Dalin eat too much sweets and staple food.

After being told by his son, Shi Dalin was a little unhappy at the time, but after a few days, he would tell people how much his son cared about him.

Now, he really doesn't eat greasy food and sweets very much.

Zhao Meiyun, Zhao Qiujuan and Shi Ting used to not be picky as long as there was meat to eat, and they also liked fatty meat, but now that living conditions are better, they only like to eat lean meat.

Zhao Meiyun bought the vegetables, and her family didn't like to eat fatty meat, so she only bought lean meat, or bought chicken, duck and fish.

In this way, even if Shi Dalin wanted to eat fat, he didn't have to eat it.

But there are meat dishes every day, and there is no fat to eat, so Shi Dalin doesn't think there is anything wrong.

He is not very demanding.

Then, he is usually full and full, and he can't think of going to eat snacks.

Shi Zhen felt a little sour when he learned about his situation.

In his previous life, Shi Dalin ate white sugar dryly... probably because of too much pressure.

At that time, it was not easy for everyone.

This year's New Year's Eve is on February 2.

Guan Baiyu and the others had make-up classes, and they didn't have a holiday until February 2.

It was also on this day that Shi Zhen gave Shi Daniu and the others a holiday.

He gave them five hundred red envelopes each, and said that when they work for him again next year, he will pay him six hundred a month's wages, and the red envelopes will be calculated separately.

In the previous year, he paid Shi Daniu and the others a low salary because Shi Daniu and the others had no skills, but now that they are all familiar with it, they must be given a salary increase.

What's more, at this time, wages are rising everywhere.

When Shi Zhengang was reborn, many people’s wages were only two to three hundred a month. Now the wages of female factory workers are already more than 400. After the new year, they should rise a little bit more. Hard work can earn six hundred a month. no problem.

Of course, those easy jobs, wages are still very low.

In some half-dead factories, the salary is only two hundred, and sometimes it cannot be paid.

Recently, a surprising thing happened in Anshan Town—someone stole chaff.

It's fine to steal the chaff, but this person steals the chaff for himself.

As for why he did this... He was laid off and his family ran out of food.

Shi Zhen is not so short of money this year, so he doesn't plan to take things back to sell, and he doesn't even want to drive a tractor back.

After all, this is too much trouble.

But Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun wanted to make this money, so they took some things from the store and planned to sell them back, and asked Shi Zhen to drive them back with a tractor.

If the family members want to make money, they still need to be encouraged. This time, Shi Zhen drove the tractor and drove the family back home.

Shi Zhen and the others only set off on the 14th, and at this time, Shi Xingchao and Shi Daniu had already returned to their hometown.

During the Chinese New Year, there are many people in the town, and the business of setting up a stall selling fried skewers will not be bad, but Shi Dashan and Chen Xiaofen are worried about their son's marriage, and they don't plan to earn this money, so they go back early.

This year's Chinese New Year, the buses are much more crowded than last year, and among those who drive the bus, there are many who go out to work and go home to celebrate the New Year at this moment.

When Shi Dashan and Chen Xiaofen came out last year, they didn't bring out all the quilts at home. This time they only took a change of clothes and gifts for relatives and friends.

Not to mention Shi Xinghuo, he brought a change of clothes himself, and Shi Dashan and Chen Xiaofen asked him to carry the things on his back.

But Shi Xingchao and Fang Miyan were different. The two of them brought a lot of things in big and small bags, and these things... were very heavy.

Chen Xiaofen saw that the thin and thin Fang Miyan was almost crushed by things, and she couldn't bear it, so she couldn't help but say to Shi Xingchao: "You brat, you've been picked so hard!"

What Shi Xingchao and Fang Miyan carried on their backs were ducks in bacon and sauce, which exuded a burst of meaty aroma.

Because there is not much land in their hometown, there are sheep raisers, but there are not many pig raisers. After all, pigs need food.

Therefore, the price of pork is a little more expensive there than in Anshan Town.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the price of meat will definitely be more expensive.

Of course, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, the price of meat in Anshan Town will also be expensive, so Shi Xingchao and Fang Miyan bought some meat more than a month in advance, made it into bacon, and killed a dozen people. Only one duck is used to make sauced duck, and this time it is specially carried back.

As for why carrying it back... Aren't they going to have a wedding?

Regardless of how poor they are in the valley, there are actually quite a few relatives. Whoever holds a wedding or funeral, the whole village has to borrow all the tables.

For example, Shi Dashan’s family has a total of 80 relatives, and at least [-] Eight Immortals tables are needed.

The gift money is usually enough for the wedding, and there will be more, but if you save money on the wedding, won't it make more money?

"Mom, didn't you always tell me not to spend money recklessly, but to manage the family diligently?" Shi Xingchao asked back.

Chen Xiaofen: "..." She really felt that children shouldn't spend money recklessly, but she really didn't expect that her son could pick up like this!

She wanted her son to spend some money, so she asked him to pay for the wedding. If she had known this...the wedding would not be as good as them.

After I go back, I will buy a pig, some chickens and ducks, and keep them decent.

Well, her son came home with so many things on his back, so the wedding shouldn't be unseemly.

Chen Xiaofen decided not to see for nothing, after thinking about it, she said to Fang Miyan: "Xiaoyan, let me get one for you!"

As a daughter-in-law, she was probably treated badly at her natal family, so she was a little taciturn and only knew how to work.

She also listened to her son especially.

Her son was stingy and asked her to make duck with bacon sauce, and she really did, and let them eat duck intestines and gizzards for several days.

Now he is helping Shi Xingchao to carry so many things...

If Fang Miyan knew that Chen Xiaofen thought so, he would probably be embarrassed.

Shi Xingchao made an agreement with her that when the gift money was collected to deduct the cost, she would keep the rest of the money. That's why she worked so hard.

Of course, both of them don't like to spend money, so they keep their passbooks together. In fact, it doesn't make much difference whose name they keep.

They changed cars a few times, and when they finally returned to their hometown, many of their people who had gone out to work last year had already returned.

As soon as they arrived in the village, they met Shi Zhiqiang and his party who had also returned to their hometown and were dressed in bright clothes.

Shi Xingchao was about the same age as Shi Zhiqiang, and they used to play together when they were young. Later, when he focused on making money, Shi Zhiqiang was fooling around all day, and the two walked away.

Shi Zhiqiang and Zhao Qiujuan failed on a blind date during Chinese New Year last year. Seeing his eccentric behavior, Shi Xingchao was even more displeased with this person.

"Hey! Shi Xing is back towards you!" Seeing Shi Xing towards them, Shi Zhiqiang greeted them first, and then said: "Why do you carry so many things back? It's because you can't work outside and plan to come back?"

"You think too much." Shi Xing said.

Shi Zhiqiang grinned: "Looking at you like this, I know you're not doing well outside... Tsk tsk, working in a small place, what can you do? Let me tell you, we work in the provincial capital and earn so much It’s only one more! There’s 500 yuan a month!”

Shi Zhiqiang was particularly proud when he mentioned that he earned five hundred a month.

He felt that what Shi Zhen and the others said about how much they earned last year was all fake, and the money outside is not so easy to earn!

Shi Xingchao: "..." Don't talk about him, Fang Miyan cooks at Shi Zhen's side, and embroiders sweaters in her free time. She earns four to five hundred a month, and she pays for Shi Zhen's food. The food is very good!

Moreover, Shi Zhen said that when there are more people next year, Fang Miyan will cook for them, and he will add money, [-] a month.

As for his parents, his sister and him, they earn even more.

Now the one earning the least in their family is his brother, but his brother will also be able to raise his salary next year.

"The provincial capital is huge. There are construction sites everywhere, and houses are being built everywhere. We have jobs every month, and we are never free. We earned more than 5000 yuan a year." Shi Zhiqiang said in a high spirited manner.

"Congratulations!" Shi Xingchao glanced at his tanned face and said, "I only earn [-] yuan a year, which is really average."

He earned more than ten thousand last year.

When he married Fang Miyan, some money was in various factories and was not settled, but at the end of the year, all the money was settled.

After a year, he earned about [-] yuan.

Shi Zhiqiang's face turned dark: "You brag! You can't brag like that! You are in a small place, how can you earn so much?"

Those who went out with Shi Zhiqiang didn't believe Shi Xingchao's words either.

They worked so hard, and they couldn't earn five hundred a month. Shi Xingchao had a pretty face on his face, and obviously didn't do much work. How much money could he have?

"Believe it or not," Shi Xingchao smiled, "By the way, I also found a partner outside and brought them back to get married."

As he spoke, he pointed at Fang Miyan.

Fang Miyan smiled at Shi Zhiqiang.

When he was in the county seat, Chen Xiaofen asked Fang Miyan to put on new clothes. In order to avoid others thinking that their family treated their new wife badly, she only asked Fang Miyan to carry two light bags.

Fang Miyan has been raised in Shi's house for more than a month, and has grown some flesh. Now she is smiling, not to mention how beautiful she is, but she is definitely not ugly.

Best of all, it's from the outside!

Girls outside are not willing to marry into their mountains!

Shi Zhiqiang, who is not yet married, has red eyes.

However, Shi Xingchao replied: "I don't earn much, my parents earn, that's more than one, about [-] a year!"

Shi Zhiqiang snorted coldly: "Bragging!"

It's not speculative, and Shi Zhiqiang stopped talking to Shi Xingchao on the next journey. It wasn't until they came near the village that Shi Zhiqiang raised his head and chest, and started to scream again.

As soon as they entered the village, all the villagers surrounded them.

Last year, Shi Dalin was the envy of the villagers. Now that Shi Dalin and the others haven't come back... everyone went to talk to Shi Dashan.

This said...they were so envious.

Shi Dashan and his wife are two, and they can earn two thousand a month!

That's two thousand!

This is too much!

"Do you really think that money is so easy to earn? We only earn five hundred a month in the provincial capital." Shi Zhiqiang was a little annoyed.

Shi Zhiqiang felt that if he said that, people around him would definitely look at him enviously.

Five hundred a month, which is definitely not a small amount.

In their village, there are so many families who work hard for a year and can't earn five hundred.

However... the villagers glanced at him, but no one paid him any attention.

Shi Zhiqiang was a little dumbfounded.

It was Shi Zhiqiang's mother who pulled Shi Zhiqiang aside and asked him, "Ah Qiang, you earn five hundred a month, why didn't you send any money back? You didn't even call back a single call! How much money did you bring back home this time?"

"Mom, the provincial capital is expensive, five hundred a month is not enough." Shi Zhiqiang said awkwardly.

Shi Zhiqiang and the others went to the provincial capital, but failed to find a job at first, and then... were dragged to the construction site.

The wages paid to them at the construction site are indeed [-] a month, but they are always paid later, and they have to give the foreman some benefits in order to keep their jobs.

Forget it, the foreman deducted two hundred from their wages every month, saying that they would pay them only at the end of the year.

Although the construction site is covered with food, the food is very poor. They have been working hard, and they are so hungry that they can't sleep at night, so they always have to buy something else.

Sometimes the construction site is closed and food is not provided, so they can only buy food.

In addition, buy some daily necessities... It costs money!

There are more than 200 left in the first month after the completion of filial piety... People like Shi Zhiqiang who have a little bit of demand for life can spend a little time and they will be gone. Save a hundred bucks a month.

Forget it, at the end of the year, the foreman deducted [-] from their [-] wages at the foreman, saying that they would pay it next year.

He only has 1000 yuan in his hands now.

"Who can spend [-] a month! Shi Zhen pays Shi Daniu a salary of [-] a month, and Shi Daniu can send back all the cents, and sometimes there are bonuses... This year, Shi Daniu The total amount of remittances received by the Niu family is at least four thousand!" said Shi Zhiqiang's mother.

The money that Shi Daniu just sent back is already four thousand, and the money he took at the end of the year has not been sent back yet!

Everyone in the village knew about it. After all, every time the post office delivered a remittance slip, everyone would watch it.

Because of this, Shi Zhiqiang said that he earns [-] yuan a year, and everyone didn't feel it at all—isn't this what it should be!

"That...that's Shi Daniu being too frugal."

"Shi Duofu, who likes to spend money, sent back more than 2000 one after another." Shi Zhiqiang's mother said: "He also said on the phone that there will be a bonus for the Chinese New Year, and he will take it back."

Shi Zhiqiang: "..."

"By the way, Shi Dalin's family bought a house and opened a shop in Anshan Town, and installed a telephone...that's amazing!"

Shi Zhiqiang didn't want to say a word anymore, he just listened to his mother talking about Shi Zhen's family affairs.

Although Shi Zhen and the others did not return to the village this year, their legend has been circulating in the village.

After Shi Zhiqiang and the others went out, there was no news. The people who went out to work with Shi Zhen were different. After a month or two, a remittance slip was sent back.

The most important thing is... Shi Dalin has installed a telephone!

People who went to work with Shi Zhen all called back. Shi Daniu and his family members wanted to contact Shi Daniu, and they could also call... How wonderful!

Where is her son?It's almost gone!

Shi Zhiqiang's mother chattered non-stop.

Shi Zhiqiang suddenly felt that the 1000 yuan in his hand was not good.

However, even if Shi Zhiqiang only brought back 1000 yuan, the villagers were very envious. There were more people in the village who wanted to go out to work.

When Shi Daniu and the others came back, they said what they had done this year... What the villagers wanted most was to go to work with Shi Zhen.

People who went out to work with Shi Zhiqiang have said that the food on the construction site is very bad, but Shi Zhen's side is different, Shi Daniu and the others eat meat every day!

Look, Shi Daniu and the others all have bulging arms!

However, even if Shi Zhen didn't take them out, they would follow Shi Zhiqiang and the others to work in the provincial capital.

Shi Zhiqiang and the others earn a lot!

It's better than them staying in the mountains.
