Reborn to Strive

Guan Baiyu had shown off Shi Zhen's kindness to him with his tablemate, and his mood gradually calmed down, and he began to study hard.

This year, Shi Zhen took on a few more projects, with more and more people under his command, and more and more money earned.

Back then, Shi Zhen had to save a lot of money to buy a tricycle, but now he has two big trucks.

Making money is like a snowball. As long as you follow the right path, the snowball will grow faster and faster as time goes by.

But he stayed in school.

This made him feel that the gap between himself and Shi Zhen was widening.

Of course, he has shares in Huaguang.

After a year of development, Huaguang has already gained a certain reputation in the province, and its sales volume is also very good, but Huaguang has developed to the present, he only takes dividends, and doesn't care about anything else.

Because the company needs to expand, the dividends are not much.

After evening self-study, Guan Baiyu and his deskmate went back to the dormitory, took out Coke chicken wings and distributed them to the dormitory people.

He wanted to eat it all by himself, but he definitely couldn't finish it all by himself, and the chicken wings couldn't be kept for long in the summer.

In the first year of high school, for a long time, there were rumors that Guan Baiyu's family was poor, but until now, no one said this anymore.

Guan Baiyu has good grades and good looks, so it's not interesting to say that he is poor.

People who are familiar with Guan Baiyu also know that Guan Baiyu's family background should be good. He has been saving money and doesn't like to show off, but his food and clothing are not bad.

"Guan Baiyu, your family's craftsmanship is really good! This chicken wing is so delicious!" People in the dormitory praised while eating.

Sweet meat dishes like cola chicken wings are very suitable for the taste of local people.

"This is made with cola, the method is very simple, you can try it too." Guan Baiyu said.

"Hey, if there is Coke, I will definitely drink it directly, and I won't use it for cooking." Someone said.

After entering the third year of senior high school, many students will not go back even if they have prostration, but stay in school to study.

The school also provides convenience for these students, and the dormitories are not closed.

Although the canteen is closed, the canteen in the school is not closed, and students can still go out and buy food nearby.

But Guan Baiyu is different, no matter whether it is big or small, he must go out, and every time he goes out, he will bring some food for the students in the dormitory when he comes back.

Sometimes it's a prepared dish like today, sometimes it's some snacks or drinks.

Occasionally, Guan Baiyu would take some of Huaguang's new ballpoint pens and share them with them.

Everyone in their dormitory liked Guan Baiyu very much.

The school evening self-study ends at nine o'clock, and the lights in the dormitory are turned off at ten o'clock.

Guan Baiyu took a bath at home, went to bed early after eating and brushing his teeth, and waited for the lights to turn off while reading.

In their school, he was considered to be an early sleeper.

Let’s just say that in their dormitory, there are those who hold flashlights and study for a few hours at night, and some who go back to the dormitory, squint for a while, wait until twelve o’clock, get up to read, and go to bed at two o’clock.

But Guan Baiyu will sleep after turning off the lights.

Shi Zhen told him to go to bed early every day. Although Shi Zhen couldn't see what he was doing in school, he was still willing to listen to Shi Zhen.

When the light in the dormitory was turned off, Guan Baiyu quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, Guan Baiyu woke up before six in the morning. Some people in the dormitory were still sleeping, and others were already awake like him, such as his deskmate.

The two of them didn't rush to wash up, they sneaked up first, and went to walk around on the playground.

Guan Baiyu is used to walking on the playground every morning, reviewing the previous day's knowledge while walking...

Guan Baiyu's tablemate got acquainted with Guan Baiyu, so he started to go out with Guan Baiyu.He thought it was good to walk like this. They asked each other questions, not only to review, but also to chat while walking. After walking for half an hour...it was refreshing.

They didn't have much class yesterday, and they finished their review quickly. Guan Baiyu's deskmate asked, "Guan Baiyu, when will you go home?"

"After this week's class, I will go home to live." Guan Baiyu said.

After entering the third year of high school, many students in the city's No. [-] Middle School began to live at home.

After all, living at home is more comfortable. If you want to review or something, you don't have to worry about disturbing your classmates, and you don't have to worry about your classmates reviewing and disturbing your sleep.

Sun Qiqi and Qiu Yunxin, whom Guan Baiyu knew, both lived at home after finishing their sophomore year.

Guan Baiyu was very envious when he found out, and wanted to go home to live. After all, the house he and Shi Zhen rented was not far from the No. 10 Middle School of the city, and it only took [-] minutes to ride a bicycle.

But if he went home to live, Shi Zhen would probably spend time and energy taking care of him... He was afraid that Shi Zhen would be tired.

What's more... If he lives at home, he might not be in the mood to study.

When Shi Zhen was not in front of him, he would just think about it in his free time, but if Shi Zhen was there, he would really easily focus on Shi Zhen.

So he didn't mention to Shi Zhen that he wanted to go home, and Shi Zhen... didn't mention it either.

But yesterday when he went back, he found that his bedroom was equipped with an air conditioner, and Shi Zhen asked him if he wanted to go back to live...Of course he wanted to go back.

He has actually learned everything he should have learned now, and the college entrance examination is approaching... let's relax!

And to be honest, sleeping at home is definitely better than at school. Although their dormitory is equipped with an electric fan, it is still very, very hot to sleep in summer, and there are mosquitoes.

They made up classes last summer. Some students were so hot that they simply carried a bucket of water, then soaked their feet in cold water to sleep with their calves connected.

Guan Baiyu's deskmate is called Lu Mingqi. He lives in a town in Changxi City. He has a good family background and is the youngest child in the family. He is very favored.

"That's great! I also want to live outside." Lu Mingqi said: "At school, it's very inconvenient to take a shower, and they still study so late at night, disturbing my sleep."

Guan Baiyu's sleep quality is very good, while Lu Mingqi's is so-so. He can't fall asleep if someone makes some noise while reading at night.

"It's about to be liberated!" Guan Baiyu said.

Lu Mingqi was now happy, and remembered something: "By the way, Guan Baiyu, we are about to take the college entrance examination... After the college entrance examination, do you want to confess your love?"

Guan Baiyu was silent.

"But you two, don't you need to confess? I think you are already together... At that time, you don't need to say anything, just kiss!" As far as Guan Baiyu told him, he felt that Guan Baiyu and him The relationship between that big sister is only a layer of window paper.

As soon as the window paper is opened, the bridal chamber can be directly opened.

I'm really envious just thinking about it.

Guan Baiyu said: "I want to think about it."

Although he said a lot about himself and Shi Zhen in front of Lu Mingqi, Guan Baiyu really didn't dare to confess.

Shi Zhen regards him as his younger brother. In fact, when he gets close to Shi Zhen occasionally, he will feel guilty and feel that he has taken advantage of Shi Zhen.

"Your sister, is she 21 now? There will definitely be many people who will introduce her to her, so you have to be careful." Lu Mingqi encouraged his deskmate.

He has been secretly in love with him at the same table for so long, and the two of them still date every weekend. It's not a confession, it's outrageous.

"I will." Guan Baiyu said.

In fact, he has always had an idea.

After the college entrance examination, if there is no accident, the students in their class should go to get together.

At that time, can he...can drink some wine and do something with it?

He doesn't necessarily want a result, it's just that he's going to go to a university in a different place, and he will be farther away from Shi Zhen in the future... It's good to get a hug through Jiu Jin.

Shi Zhen knew nothing about Guan Baiyu's thoughts.

He has met with Guan Baiyu's teacher, and has the contact information of the other party, and will contact him from time to time, but the conversation is all about Guan Baiyu's studies. He knows that Guan Baiyu's grades are stable, his mentality is very good, and no one bullies him in school. Don't worry about Guan Baiyu, he won't ask any more questions.

On Monday, Shi Zhen returned to Anshan Town early in the morning.

He has a municipal project to do in Anshan Town.

After he took over the job of building 32 houses last year, he did it very seriously without cutting corners at all. This year's development is getting better and better.

Of course, when the project was being done, he encountered some problems—someone’s house was under construction and they ran out of money, so they wanted to owe the money.

This kind of thing is really very common. Many contractors have nothing to do with this kind of thing. He had nothing to do about it in his previous life.

At that time, he could not stop working because he could not receive money. After all, once he stopped working, he would lose a lot.

So he could only bite the bullet and continue working.

As a result, those who asked him to build a house saw that some people refused to pay, but the house was still built, so they followed suit and refused to pay.

Otherwise... wouldn't they be at a loss?

Most contractors can make money, but in fact they also lost a lot. He almost lost money at the time, and then he gritted his teeth and stopped working, so he barely collected all the money.

But in the end, almost every family owed him tens of thousands of yuan and did not pay him. When he went to ask for the debt, they were more uncles than him.

And what many of them say is... If others give, he will give too.

At that time, he wanted to sue those people, but sometimes they can't be too rigid in this business, lest others dare not cooperate with them.

And at that time, it was already a few years later, even if people owed him some money, he still had something to earn, and in the end the money became a bad debt.

This life is different... After someone didn't pay, Shi Zhen stopped working directly.

He has more than this project in his hands, and the work here has been suspended, and the workers can go to other construction sites... Who is afraid of whom?

After the suspension of work, Shi Zhen went to visit those who paid all the money, apologized one by one, and went to see those who did not pay, with the same meaning - no money, he will not start work here.

After working for a few days like this, most people paid all the money, as for those who really couldn't pay the money...

Shi Zhen approached them and gave them an idea - if they really have no money, they can sign a contract with them before the house is built, and sell a house or a facade in advance... Isn't this rich?

Now it’s not 20 years later, the facade is quite valuable, as for the upstairs house... This kind of cast-in-place house of 140 square meters can be sold for [-] yuan per set, which is still okay.

Since his house started to be built, everyone in the town knew that the house was of good quality.

Some of these foundations are exclusively owned by one family, and some are shared by two families... Even if two families share one house, there is still one house with two facades.

They built this house, including the foundation, which cost less than [-] in total, and now one of the suites can be sold for [-]... half of the money.

The family has a house to live in, and a facade that can collect rent, which is definitely a profit!

Someone listened to Shi Zhen and sold the house.

In the past, some families couldn’t afford the foundation because they didn’t have enough money. Now that the house is being built, they want a new house... They are also willing to spend 5 yuan to buy a house.

After the money matter was settled, Shi Zhen's project went very smoothly.

At the end of last year, Shi Zhen finished the entire project.

The house was built by Shi Zhen with a sloping roof covered with large red tiles.

Compared with the flat roof, the inclined roof is more practical for ordinary people, and it is not easy to leak. As for the outer wall, he pasted blue and white mosaics according to the requirements of those customers.

The house was rough, so Shi Zhen installed the doors and windows.After the customer has checked and accepted it, and it is confirmed that there is no problem, give him the last 5000 yuan less than him, and he will hand over the house.

In his previous life, he did this kind of project a few years later, and the money was worthless. The final payment was [-], but now it is only [-].

And the five thousand... Not surprisingly, some people didn't want to give it.

People didn't say they didn't want to give it, they just said they had no money for the time being and had to wait.

Shi Zhen didn't bother, he simply tidied up the house and turned it into a dormitory for the workers under his command for the workers to live in.

If the homeowner really wanted to pursue this approach, he would have to pay for it, but... if he really went to a lawsuit, he would have to give him the five thousand.

The contracts were all signed, and the quality of the house he built had no problems, and the project was completed ahead of schedule, so they couldn't make a mistake.

In the end, those people still couldn't stand the new house built but they couldn't live in it, so they gave the money.

At the end of last year, Shi Zhen received all the money. After the whole project, he earned about 70 yuan.

This is also thanks to his experience and knowing how to manage workers, otherwise... if the project is delayed by one day, he will earn much less money.

The other three people who took over the project were relatively slow in building the house. Last year, they didn’t finish building at all. It's a wave of rise... After they finish their work, they definitely won't be able to earn as much as him.

However, Shi Zhen also noticed that the quality of their projects...was not very good.

It was already the end of the year when the project was completed, and Shi Zhen still had other projects to do, plus Guan Baiyu was in his third year of high school, and he had to make up classes during the winter vacation... Last year, Shi Zhen didn't go back to his hometown.

If he didn't go back, Shi Dalin and the others didn't go back after thinking about it.

Many of their relatives have come here to work, and they can usually see each other. Shi Dalin has no obsession with going back.

The most important thing is that the house in my hometown has not been lived in for three years, and it has long been dilapidated. Thinking of living in such a house after going back, Shi Dalin has no interest.

With this skill, he would rather spend his time decorating the new house.

The location of the foundation of their house was chosen by Shi Zhen. It faces east and is the southernmost part of a row of houses.

Although the foundation here is slightly more expensive than other foundations, this house is indeed better than other houses.

The final division of the house is that the second floor belongs to Shi Dashan and Chen Xiaofen, the third floor belongs to Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun, the fourth floor belongs to Zhao Qiujuan, and the fifth floor belongs to Shi Xingchao.

Shi Dashan and Chen Xiaofen didn't want to walk too many stairs, so they chose the second floor. As for Shi Xingchao, who wanted the highest fifth floor, firstly, he didn't mind taking the stairs, and secondly, because Shi Zhen built a sloping roof. There is an attic on the upper floor.

Similar houses, multiple attics, more money!Shi Xingchao naturally liked it.

Shi Dalin and Zhao Qiujuan didn't feel that they were at a disadvantage. In fact, there is a saying now that most people like the fourth floor of Jinshanyin, or the third and fourth floors.

Half a year later, the new house is almost finished, but no one has moved in yet. They plan to have summer vacation in July. After Guan Baiyu finishes his college entrance examination, Shi Dalin and his small shop are no longer busy, so they will move again.

Shi Zhen saw it at his construction site, then went to the new house to look at the decoration.

At that time, people in a small place like Anshan Town didn't pay as much attention to decoration as later, and didn't care much about style.

Many families in rural areas just need concrete floors. For those in towns, they can build water and electricity, paste tiles on the floor and whitewash the walls, buy some furniture, and live in directly.

Zhao Meiyun, Shi Dalin and the others were thinking about saving money, and the requirement for decoration was cheap, so Shi Zhen didn't bother too much.

Shi Dalin and the others thought that they would live in this house for a lifetime, but he knew that this was impossible.

In another ten years or so, they will definitely change houses.

So it doesn't matter if the decoration is simple, if you want to improve the quality of life... mainly rely on electrical appliances.

At this stage, he has installed washing machines and air conditioners for his family members, which can greatly improve the quality of life of his family members.

If they are willing to use it.

The decoration has been completely completed, and the smell has been drying recently.

Although Zhao Qiujuan also has a suite, she is alone, and it's meaningless to live alone, so she will still live with Shi Dalin and the others. There are two rooms facing south. The room was given to Shi Ting.

The furniture is all bought. There is a bed and a wardrobe in the bedroom. In the living room and dining room outside, there are simple sofas, coffee tables, TV cabinets, dining tables and the like.

In the two bathrooms, Shi Zhen worked very hard.

Many people in the city are used to things like flush toilets since they were young, but Shi Dalin and the others have never used them before... This is definitely one of their favorite things.

Of course, shower room water heaters, they must also like these.

Shi Zhen went downstairs after finishing the decoration of his home, and saw Chen Xiaofen and his family's door was open, and Shi Xingxing was cleaning inside.

"Xing Xing, I heard that you are getting engaged?" Shi Zhen asked.

"Yes! Get engaged after Chinese New Year and get married next year." Shi Xingxing laughed.

She is not very old and is not in a hurry to get married.

"Congratulations." Shi Zhen smiled and asked about the specific situation.

The husband chosen by Shi Xingxing was the same as in her previous life, Liang Weiguo. She and Liang Weiguo were also very courageous. When Shi Zhen asked those who could not afford to sell their houses ahead of time...she gritted her teeth and bought a house.

Liang Wei's family is not bad, not a group of vampires like Liang Dawen's.

Liang Weiguo's parents have been farming at home, so they can't provide Liang Weiguo with any help, but they don't ask Liang Weiguo for money, so Liang Weiguo took all the money he earned from working for more than two years.

The same goes for Shi Xingxing, she took the money herself, and the two of them pooled it together, and borrowed some money from Shi Zhen, so they bought a set for 5 yuan.

It's a bit more expensive than if they bought the foundation cover themselves, but honestly not by much.

The main reason is that they really had no money before, and now they still owe Shi Zhen [-] yuan.

Zhao Qiujuan still owes Shi Zhen two thousand, but the others have all been paid off.

Now, Shi Xingxing's house has been obtained, that is, the real estate certificate... It will take two years for all real estate certificates to be issued.

After the house came out, the house on the market can sell for [-], which is a direct increase of [-], so Shi Xingxing is actually very happy.

After talking, they talked about Shi Xingchao, and when they mentioned their second brother, Shi Xingxing was very speechless: "Shi Zhen, don't you know that Shi Xingchao is simply not human, Fang Miyan is pregnant, and he still keeps him busy."

Shi Zhendao: "Fang Miyan should also be... willing." That is also a diligent person!

In his previous life, Shi Xingchao was born at the end of this year, and in this life... it should be similar.

As for why they were able to conceive when they lived apart all the time... Before Shi Dalin and Shi Dashan moved in, Shi Xingchao and Fang Miyan had already moved in for several months.

Shi Xingchao's house was not painted at all!He found someone to do the water and electricity, installed a flush toilet and a basin in the bathroom, and lived right away!

Their house has cement walls with wires wrapped around them.

The ground is concrete, and there are water pipes in the corners.

As for anything else?

Of course nothing else.

Apart from the bed they made themselves, and two chairs to sit on, there was not even a table in the room.

Because they don't eat here now.

Shi Zhen had seen it before, but he had nothing to say after watching it.
