Reborn to Strive

Guan Baiyu smiled dryly: "Grandma, did you read it wrong?"

The old lady said: "No, I've seen her several times. She is a very gentle and beautiful little girl. She has been going in and out with your brother these days."

Zhao Qiujuan is not very good-looking, but she is not aggressive, and she is the kind that is very popular with the elders.

For some old people, tall young men are considered handsome, and young girls who have no flaws in their facial features are considered beautiful.

After finishing speaking, the old lady wanted to hold Guan Baiyu to chat for a while, but Guan Baiyu smiled again, and ran upstairs faster.

The old lady was left in the same place, and after a pause, she said: "Children nowadays, they run really fast!" Guan Baiyu was quite polite before, but the smile just now seemed to be holding back something, was it because he was in a hurry to go to the toilet?

She shouldn't be dragging people to chat.

The old lady went downstairs slowly.

Guan Baiyu ran to the fifth floor, saw the door of their house was open, and rushed in immediately.

Shi Zhen was pouring water, raised his head when he heard the movement, and asked him with a smile: "Xiao Yu, shall we have noodles for lunch?"

Shi Zhen's smile is what Guan Baiyu likes the most, it always makes him feel that he is being cherished, and Shi Zhen's gaze at this moment makes his heart beat faster.

However, because of this, when he saw something extra in the restaurant kitchen, he felt even more uncomfortable.

For example, a red apron is hung at the door of the kitchen.

Shi Zhen often cooks, but he is not too particular. He never wears an apron when cooking. In their house, there was no apron at all before.

Guan Baiyu felt a tightness in his chest, and opened his mouth to ask, "Brother, do you have a girlfriend?"

Guan Baiyu's expression was not very good-looking, and his words were even more questioning, but Shi Zhen... could also see his panic.

Shi Zhen sighed secretly: "Who did you listen to?"

"Neighbor downstairs." Guan Baiyu clenched his fists, waiting for Shi Zhen's sentence.

Shi Zhen finally knew what was going on, and said with a smile: "Your sister Qiujuan lived here recently, they must have misunderstood."

Guan Baiyu: "..."

The sharpness on Guan Baiyu's body disappeared instantly, embarrassment pervaded his whole body, and he looked at Shi Zhen embarrassedly.

Shi Zhen restrained his emotions and smiled gently: "So... how about we have noodles at noon?"

"Okay." Guan Baiyu smiled cutely at Shi Zhen.

Shi Zhen especially wanted to touch his head, but he didn't reach out.

He didn't think much about it before, so he didn't notice some of Guan Baiyu's small movements, but this year he observed carefully...he felt more and more clearly...that Guan Baiyu likes him.

Perhaps this feeling is still deepening.

It suddenly occurred to him that Guan Baiyu had asked him about marriage before.

At that time, he didn't think much about it, he just thought it was Guan Baiyu's desire to monopolize him.

This kind of situation is not uncommon among relatives. At that time, he didn't want to lie to Guan Baiyu, and directly said that he didn't plan to get married.

Now he doesn't know whether he should use this to appease Guan Baiyu.

Shi Zhen paid great attention to nutrition. He took a piece of pork from the refrigerator and cut it into cubes. He also cut up a few eggplants and planned to make pork and eggplant noodles.

Guan Baiyu was busy at the side, planning to cut a cucumber for cold salad, and then peel a piece of fruit.

Shi Zhendao: "Xiao Yu, the kitchen is too crowded, you can take the chopping board and go outside to cut."

The kitchen was very small, Guan Baiyu stayed in the kitchen with him, and the two of them rubbed against each other.

He could still clearly feel that Guan Baiyu...was deliberately getting close to him.

Guan Baiyu's movements are cautious, and sometimes he just puts the back of his hand on his arm and smiles openly.

What a child.

That is to say, children can be so happy with such a small contact.

Guan Baiyu is indeed very happy, cooking with his brother, this can also show off at the same table with him.

But his brother asked him to go out... Guan Baiyu could only go out depressedly holding the chopping board.

He made a plate of cold cucumbers, and carefully peeled and sliced ​​the pineapple he took out of the refrigerator.

Seeing Guan Baiyu looking at himself from time to time while doing things, Shi Zhen felt a little worried.

He didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to let Guan Baiyu come back to live.

After he moved to Changxi City a year ago, he thought about letting Guan Baiyu go home so that Guan Baiyu could sleep better, but because he discovered Guan Baiyu's thoughts, he didn't do it in the end.

This time he let Guan Baiyu come back to live because Guan Baiyu has restrained himself very well this year.

But now he realizes...his existence will actually affect Guan Baiyu.

In the future, it would be better for him not to go home.

Shi Zhen cooked the noodles, covered the stewed eggplant with minced meat, and served it to Guan Baiyu: "Xiaoyu, I'm a little busy recently, and I have to go out this afternoon... sorry."

"Brother, it's okay, you don't need to apologize," Guan Baiyu smiled, and asked again, "By the way, why is the elder sister living here?" Shi Zhen is about to leave, so he can only chat with Shi Zhenduo up.

Shi Zhen then talked about Zhao Qiujuan being on stage at his place.

"Brother, I haven't been to your company yet, can I go?" Guan Baiyu asked again.

Shi Zhen completed the project of building a house in Anshan Town last year. After earning hundreds of thousands, he bought a piece of land in Changxi City and built an office building.

The house had just been built, and Guan Baiyu had never been there.

"I'll take you there, you can play there in the afternoon, and I'll pick you up later in the evening." Shi Zhen said.

Guan Baiyu said: "Brother, I don't play, I can go there to review!"

"Okay." Shi Zhen said.

Guan Baiyu packed a few books, and then Shi Zhen sent Guan Baiyu to his company.

He has to admit that he bought this land and built this company out of selfish motives.

In the previous life, this place will be developed into a wealthy area in more than ten years.

He occupies a place here, and when the time comes to demolish it, he can make a lot of money.

However, when he bought land, he didn't buy a particularly large piece of land. If he really bought a large piece of land...they might bypass him and develop it.

The land that Shi Zhen bought was only 200 square meters in total. He left a total of more than [-] square meters of land for yards in the front, back, left, and right sides. He planned to build some gardens and landscapes in the future. Flowers and grass, is a piece of mud.

As for the office building at the back... The design of Shi Zhen's three-story office building is definitely very modern and new in Changxi City at this time.

The house has three floors and covers an area of ​​about two hundred square meters.

Its ground floor is slightly smaller than the second and third floors, as if it is holding the second and third floors. The upper two floors are also designed with glass curtain walls, and the overall appearance is sky blue.

This is not so special compared to all kinds of strange-shaped Internet celebrity buildings more than [-] years later, but in today's era when most buildings are straight up and down, it is absolutely novel.

Even the words "White Stone Building" standing in the mud at the door are different.

Shi Zhendao: "The garden landscape outside has been designed, but it hasn't been constructed yet. When it's done, you must like it."

Shi Zhen plans to dig a pond with an area of ​​about [-] square meters and a depth of about one meter, and then he will raise some koi in the pond.

Of course, this is not the key point, the key point is... He plans to build a glass bridge over this pond.

There are many glass skywalks in later generations, but at this time... even if it is just a small bridge made of glass on a small pond, it is rare enough.

The most important thing is... After he proposed this idea, Father Liang was willing to build a bridge for him for free.

Speaking of which, all the glass used in his office building was also provided by Father Liang on his own initiative.

After all, just leaving his office building like this is equivalent to advertising for Liang's father.

And Shi Zhen's ability to think of building a house like this is actually related to Liang's father.

When he built a factory for Huaguang Stationery last year, Father Liang told him about the expansion of his glass factory. It was at this time that Shi Zhen knew that Father Liang planned to produce high-strength architectural glass.

The two hit it off immediately, and the office building Shi Zhen came into existence.

Father Liang had already thought about building an office building like this himself. As for the construction, of course he was looking for Shi Zhen.

Shi Zhen briefly told Guan Baiyu about the landscape he had imagined, and Guan Baiyu kept boasting, which made Shi Zhen a little embarrassed.

He took advantage of the rebirth.

Entering from his office building, there are some offices separated by glass on the ground floor, but there are no people inside, just at the entrance, there is a woman in business attire sitting behind a large desk... Who is it? ?

"Boss." Zhao Qiujuan called out with a smile when she saw Shi Zhen.

Although she has only been here for a few days, Zhao Qiujuan has already adapted to the working environment here.

She really likes this place.

She made quite a lot of money before, but to be honest... At that time, she didn't dare to enter the well-decorated shops in Anshan Town.

She felt that she shouldn't have entered such a place.

But now, she works in a place that looks more advanced than those places!

"Sister, how is your typing practice now?" Shi Zhen asked Zhao Qiujuan.

Zhao Qiujuan said: "If you know all the characters, I can type seven or eight hundred in half an hour."

This speed is not fast, but it was definitely achieved by Zhao Qiujuan's hard work in the past few days.

"Sister, you're improving so fast." Shi Zhen said.

Zhao Qiujuan pursed her lips and smiled.

Shi Zhen didn't stay here any longer, he left Guan Baiyu behind.

Guan Baiyu didn't get along with Zhao Qiujuan very much. When Zhao Qiujuan saw Guan Baiyu, she didn't know what to talk to Guan Baiyu, so she just asked Guan Baiyu if he wanted some water.

Guan Baiyu smiled: "I can pour the water myself... Sister, are you learning computer? Can you teach me?"

A person like Guan Baiyu actually asked him how to use a computer!

Zhao Qiujuan was a little excited, and she taught Guan Baiyu to turn on and off the phone, opened the drawing software, and told Guan Baiyu how to draw...

City No. [-] Middle School recently set up a multimedia classroom and bought a few computers, but Guan Baiyu and his senior three students have never touched those computers.

At this moment, it was his first time playing, it was just a drawing software, and he thought it was very interesting.

At this time, Zhao Qiujuan opened the document again, told him how to type, and said happily: "Some words are too much to type, and now I don't even need to think about it, I just know how to type."

The input method she uses for typing is called Smart ABC, and she has memorized the serial numbers of many characters!

Guan Baiyu chatted with Zhao Qiujuan while playing computer, and naturally mentioned: "My brother is really busy now, I rarely have a vacation, he always has something to do."

Zhao Qiujuan got along with Shi Zhen quite a lot these days, and she didn't think Shi Zhen was particularly busy, but she didn't like to refute others, so she nodded, "Yes."

After playing with the computer for a while, Guan Baiyu gave up the computer to Zhao Qiujuan, who asked Zhao Qiujuan to type, and then started to solve the problems by herself.

The desk Zhao Qiujuan works at is arc-shaped and very large. Three people can sit side by side at the back. The two of them sit at the back, which is quite spacious.

Zhao Qiujuan was tired of typing, so she went to read the questions that Guan Baiyu had done... She immediately felt that what she was learning was really too simple.

She has watched a lot of TV series and can speak Mandarin, so it is not difficult for her to learn to read.

She felt that if she typed slowly, after a few more months of typing, she should be able to recognize the characters almost, and then she could learn other things.

Shi Zhen drove over when Zhao Qiujuan was off work, took the two of them home, had dinner with them, and then went out again on the pretext of having something to do.

In fact, he had nothing to do, he could only go and see where the workers lived.

The residences of migrant workers are not very good. Generally, they live in a few sheds on the construction site. Of course, they also rent a house nearby, and then they live together.

In some construction sites, after some houses have been built, it is possible to live in the houses already built on the construction site.

Of course, some local workers also live at home.

Shi Zhen came over after dinner, and everyone was taking a shower and chatting.

Recently, there are more and more fellow villagers on the construction site.

But because the Shi Daniu and others he brought out from the village at the beginning were all good, and the stewards he promoted later were all serious in their work and didn't like to make trouble, so they didn't appear like they did in their previous life. Cliques and such things.

In addition, no one enjoys superior treatment on the construction site under the name of his relatives.

His mother had no relatives. The sons of Zhao Meiyun's brothers and sisters did come to work, but they didn't have any relationship with him.

As for his father's relatives... These people came later, knowing that he would not give them special treatment, they stopped.

Not a close relative per se.

Before Shi Zhen came, he specially bought some drinks and beer, and when he arrived, he distributed them to the workers and chatted with them.

They all came from the same place, and they talked about things in their hometown.

For a very small number of them, their wives have already come out, and most of them came out to work by themselves, thinking about calling their wives out too.

Otherwise it would be too deserted.

Of course, those who are still unmarried are thinking about going back to marry a wife during the Chinese New Year.

"If the wife comes out, it's best to bring the children out and let them study here," Shi Zhen said, "If the children are not with their parents, they will not be close to them, and the schools here are very good."

It is easy for the elders to take care of the children, which is prone to problems, not to mention that the group of people with children who come out to work are basically born in the [-]s.

People of their parents' generation, because of the limitations of the times, have some misconceptions about disciplining children, such as giving their children pickles every day even though they have money in their hands.

Moreover, they generally have several brothers and sisters. They bring their children to the elderly. When the other brothers and sisters see each other, they will take care of the children to the elderly in order not to suffer. In the end, those old people have to take care of a lot of children. Not to mention tired, it must not be that much. Heart.

In the previous life, there was a worker who had a good relationship with Shi Zhen. Since his child could eat, his parents helped him to take care of him. The children eat it, so that the children don't like to eat vegetables later, so they eat vegetable soup and bibimbap.

In fact, most of these migrant workers earn a decent amount of money. They can live on if they bring their wives and children and rent a house here, but they didn't realize it before.

After Shi Zhen mentioned it, someone thought about it.

Not to mention, there is Shi Daniu as a role model.

Shi Daniu's son has already attended the first class of kindergarten in Anshan Town for one year, and he will be able to enter elementary school next year.

This child was in his hometown, because he was overly pampered by his grandparents, he was like a bully, but here... he can't even speak Mandarin well.

When he first went to kindergarten, he still wanted to bully his classmates, but later found that...he was pushed out instead.

That is to say, Shi Daniu and his wife loved the child and gave things to the teacher and aunt. The teacher and aunt were kind to the child, and the child gradually got used to it.

By the second term, he was doing well at school and learning a lot.

At this time, there was no such rule that kindergartens could not teach things in advance. The kindergartens in the town were expensive, and they could teach singing, dancing, arithmetic and writing, which made Shi Daniu very happy every day. Now he showed off: "The school here , It’s really good, you can’t think of it! The children are studying at school, they are given biscuits in the morning, they eat meat and vegetables at noon, and everyone sleeps in a small bed in the afternoon, and they have snacks after sleep. Yes, everything. My son can write a lot now, he can do arithmetic and he can dance."

Everyone has a heart for comparison, every day I hear Shi Daniu talking about his son, even Shi Duofu has the idea of ​​bringing his own child here to study.

Shi Zhen stayed on the construction site until nine o'clock before returning home. When he opened the door, he saw Guan Baiyu sitting in the dining room.

Seeing him, Guan Baiyu immediately said: "Brother, you are finally back! Brother, are you so busy every day? Are you too tired?"

Guan Baiyu's face was full of concern, Shi Zhen felt a little uncomfortable seeing him like this.

Guan Baiyu misses himself so much, but he is avoiding Guan Baiyu...

"I have too many projects in hand, I can't help it... and the weather will be very hot in July and August, so we want to finish some work ahead of time." Shi Zhen said.

"So that's how it is..."

"Xiao Yu, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of you during this time." Shi Zhen said.

"Brother, I don't need to take care of you! I just go home after I finish my evening self-study, and I just sleep when I get home." Guan Baiyu said.

"When the time comes, you go to and from school, and I'll see you off." Shi Zhen said.

"Okay." Guan Baiyu laughed.

Guan Baiyu worshiped for two days and saw Shi Zhen very little, but stayed with Zhao Qiujuan for a long time.

During the day, he went to Shi Zhen's company with Zhao Qiujuan and had lunch there. There was a toilet and a small kitchen where he could cook food.

Zhao Qiujuan usually cooks something to eat there at noon.

After the big prayer, Guan Baiyu went back to school.

When Lu Mingqi saw him, he immediately asked, "Guan Baiyu, did you meet your big sister during this prostration?"

"We met." Guan Baiyu said, and then told Shi Zhen to make noodles for him, cook for him, etc., and said that Shi Zhen was very busy...

He spoke vividly, which made Lu Mingqi very envious, and kept shouting that it would be great if he also had a big sister.

Guan Baiyu: "..." That's actually not the big sister, but the big brother.

He didn't even dare to tell Lu Mingqi.

If Lu Mingqi knew the truth, he would most likely stay away from him.

Shi Zhen was very afraid that Guan Baiyu would have some problems before the college entrance examination, so he tried to avoid Guan Baiyu as much as possible.

Guan Baiyu didn't notice.

He doesn't have time to think about it now.

Throughout June, there was a tense atmosphere in the school, and he was affected by it.

However, even though he didn't have time to think about Shi Zhen, Guan Baiyu would still talk to Lu Mingqi about his "big sister", just to relieve the stress.

He often told Lu Mingqi that he was going to confess his love after graduation. Of course, no one knew whether he would confess his love or not.

He knew that he had a high probability, so he didn't dare.

Before the college entrance examination, we first ushered in the final exam of senior one and senior two.

During this time, the school gave senior high school students a holiday to let them relax their tense nerves.

Some students feel that they are better off at home, so they simply ask the school for leave, and stay at home instead of coming to school after the final exam.

Guan Baiyu didn't ask for leave.

Shi Zhen has always been very busy, leaving early and returning late every day. When he returns home, he either stays with Zhao Qiujuan or stays alone. It's better to stay in school and review with his classmates. Instead, he can maintain a good state.

This year's college entrance examination actually introduced some new policies.

For example, you have to pay tuition fees to go to university, and not only that, but you will no longer be assigned a job after graduation.

This makes it impossible for many students from poor families to go to college.

Even in City No. [-] Middle School, there are students like this, especially those whose grades are not very good and their families are short of money.

Guan Baiyu was born in 79. In their class, there are those born in the late 70s like him. For example, in their class, the oldest one was born in 77. There are also those born in the early 80s, such as Sun Qiqi. It was 1980.

Among them, there are already only children, but most of them are not only children. If there are several children in rural families... it may not be possible for their children to continue their studies.

In Guan Baiyu's dormitory, there was a boy who always regretted not going to a technical secondary school, but chose to go to high school.

He is from a rural area, and he is still the youngest in the family. His parents are very old and can’t earn much money at all. His brothers and sisters have already started their own families. They are the tuition fees for high school. Now the university tuition fees are not covered... …His older brothers and sisters don’t know much about the outside world, thinking that if he reads well, he won’t be able to find a job, so they don’t want to send him to school.

It’s okay to go to high school, but if you go to a distant place to study in university, the tuition and living expenses will increase, and even the travel expenses will cost a lot of money.

Some students in the dormitory worried that they would not be able to continue their studies, which more or less affected other students.

Guan Baiyu was also a little uncomfortable.

Without Shi Zhen, even if he managed to get through high school, he might not be able to go to college.

That night after evening self-study, Guan Baiyu got into Shi Zhen's car and started talking about it.

"Xiao Yu, let me help him study." Shi Zhen said suddenly.

"Brother?" Guan Baiyu was a little surprised.

Shi Zhendao: "I plan to donate [-]% of my income to charity in the future... My current income is not high, but it is enough to support some students to go to school."

Shi Zhen's previous year's income was not bad, but all the money was invested in the purchase of equipment, and he had no money at all.

Only recently has his financial situation improved enough to give some of the money to charity.

He didn't know why he was able to be reborn, but it was always right to do more good deeds.

"Brother..." Guan Baiyu was a little confused.

Shi Zhen usually doesn't mind helping others. For example, they live on the fifth floor now, and there are many elderly people living here. If Shi Zhen sees someone moving things, he will help move them.

In addition, Shi Zhen is also willing to help the workers under Shi Zhen if the family encounters difficulties and lacks money.

But Guan Baiyu didn't expect that Shi Zhen would be willing to subsidize people who had nothing to do with him to go to school.

Shi Zhen's income is not bad, but not too much. After all, he has only started in the past two years.

Among other things, Liang's father's assets are much more than Shi Zhen's.

Shi Zhen hasn't bought a house yet, even when he bought an air conditioner before, he only bought one. Now only his room has an air conditioner, and Shi Zhen and Zhao Qiujuan both use electric fans.

Guan Baiyu said: "Brother, let me help him. I have Huaguang's dividend, which is enough."

"No, if you go to sponsor, people will feel uncomfortable," Shi Zhen said, "Even if you want to sponsor, it must be in the name of Huaguang. You can discuss this matter with Liang Qinxuan. On my side, I will also use Baishi Donate in the name of construction."

He did charity work in his previous life, and often encountered white-eyed wolves.

Guan Baiyu went to fund it personally. It’s okay to meet good people, but if he meets some people who think differently from ordinary people... who knows what they will think?

Maybe he still feels that Guan Baiyu is trampling on his self-esteem.

Or they are dissatisfied and dislike Guan Baiyu for giving too little.

There are many such people.

Of course, most people are still sensible.
