Reborn to Strive

Qian Qi didn't read much, but he's not bad. When he was young, he was aggressive and liked to fight. But after he got married and had a son, he devoted himself to his son. During those years with Shi Zhen, although he also Using his position to help relatives or something, but not too much, Shi Zhen can accept it.

Not to mention that the money now is far less greasy than later.

Shi Zhenhad lived for a long time and knew enough about Qian Qi. He pretended to be casual and said that he had practiced kung fu in the mountains since he was a child, and he had defeated many people, which made Qian Qi adore him.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Zhen praised Qian again: "You are two years younger than me, and you haven't grown up yet. It will be a disadvantage for me to beat you. If you practice hard for a few more years, I may not be able to beat you." you."

"I really want to practice, but I don't know how to practice... Can you teach me? I worship you as my teacher!" Qian Qiqi also wanted to beat the invincible opponents in the nearby villages.

"I can, but I don't have much time."

"It's okay, I have a lot of time! I can do it whenever you are free!" Qian Qi said.

He didn't continue to study after graduating from junior high school. As for going to work, he couldn't find a suitable job for a while. Now he just stays at home doing farm work or watching TV with others, feeling flustered when he has nothing to do.

If you can become a martial arts master... that's really handsome!

Shi Zhen was also unambiguous, and immediately taught Qian Qi a few classic exercises, and then told Qian Qi some fitness knowledge for later generations: "In ancient times, there was a saying that poor culture and rich martial arts, because practicing martial arts must eat better. This food The good point is not to eat fatty meat, but to eat protein, that is, lean pork, chicken, duck, eggs, etc. Only by eating enough protein can you grow muscles. In the future, try to eat more eggs every day , if you don’t have any at home, try to find a way to go out to make money and buy food.”

Qian suddenly realized.

Shi Zhen pondered, if Qian Qi followed the movements he taught, practiced crunches and push-ups hard, and ate enough protein... He couldn't guarantee how hard Qian Qi fought, but he would definitely be able to develop biceps, pectoral muscles and abdominal muscles .

"My parents may let me eat so well... I don't have any way to make money now..." Qian Qi was a little annoyed, his family was quite ordinary, and his income depended on raising pigs and silkworms. There is no shortage of eggs, but there are several brothers and sisters in his family, as well as parents, grandparents... It is impossible for him to eat a plate of scrambled eggs alone.

But the person in front of me said that if you don't eat meat, you can eat five or six eggs a day, which is not too much. This...

"You may find a job if you go to the town more often." Shi Zhen said a few words to him, and then gave Guan Baiyu's home address, so that he could come and find him when he had time.

After doing all this, Shi Zhen went back and continued to work.

That night, when Qian woke up, he came to him.

When Qian got up, Shi Zhen was stewing the pig's head that was going to be sold tomorrow. As soon as Qian got up, he was moved by the rich aroma, and couldn't help swallowing: "Master, what did you stew?"

"Pig head." Shi Zhen said.

"Pig head... I like pork head meat the most. I eat salted pig head every Chinese New Year. I can eat a whole bowl of rice with a small piece of meat." Qian Qi looked nostalgic.

Qian got up and ran around Shi Zhen, talking to Shi Zhen, but Guan Baiyu looked at him curiously.

Before Qian Li got up, he was quite famous in their junior high school. He set up a Qinglong Gang in school, and there were more than a dozen gang members... But when Qian Li got up from junior high school, the Qinglong Gang disbanded.

This "gang" is usually keen on skipping classes and going out to play over the wall... Their school is not strictly controlled, they can go out through the gate, and they don't know what's going on with them, so they just like to go over the wall.

In terms of money, they still fight with people from other schools.

When they graduated from the third grade of junior high school last year, they went to the high school in the town to take the graduation exam when they got up, because someone in the high school looked down on people from their school and beat up several high school students.

But Qian Qi will not bully people for no reason, but will protect the weak, so Guan Baiyu has a good impression of Qian Qi.

Now, Qian got up and called his brother "Master"?

Guan Baiyu looked at the money and got up, a little unhappy.

Qian Qi also saw Guan Baiyu at this time: "Hey! What's your name? I look familiar to you."

"He's my younger brother, his name is Guan Baiyu. Your junior high school is in the same school. You should have met him," Shi Zhen said. "He's in the third year of junior high school, and he's number one in his grade."

"No. [-] in grade? That's amazing!" Qian Qi admired him a little. "Oh, I used to have good grades. I could score more than [-] points every time. When I was in fifth grade, I broke my leg and stayed at home for a few months. If you read it again, you won’t understand.”

Guan Baiyu: "..." Is a score of more than [-] in the elementary school exam considered a good grade?

Qian talked a lot, told Shi Zhen a lot of things, and wanted to show "Kung Fu" with Shi Zhen again.

Shi Zhen didn't refuse either, and pushed him to the ground again.

Men, especially young men, became acquainted with each other as soon as they started playing. They chatted a lot with Shi Zhen when they got up, and bought two catties of pork head meat when they left.

Although he doesn't have a job, sometimes he goes to the river to catch some small fish and shrimps, touches some snails, and sells them in the town, which can be exchanged for some money.

When Qian Qiqi left, Guan Baiyu asked Shi Zhen: "Brother, how do you know Qian Qiqi?"

Shi Zhendao: "I heard that he is very powerful, I got to know him after a fight with him."

Guan Baiyu was a little confused, he always thought that his brother was a very stable person, so it turns out that his brother also likes to fight?

But a man of this age really likes to play around, and his brother looks like a teenager looking at him like this.

Shi Zhen lived 30 years longer than Qian Qi, 20 of which were still living in the age of information explosion.

He also read a lot of books.

In this way, no matter what Qian Qiqi said, he could talk to him, and he could also talk about things that Qian Qiqi didn't know. Tell your life experience.

This made Qian Qiqi admire him even more, and early the next morning, Qian Qiqi came again.

Knowing that his master was going to sell pork heads in the town in the morning, he decided to come to help.

It's not easy to learn other people's things for nothing, right?

Shi Zhen didn't refuse either, he asked Guan Baiyu to rest at home, together with Qian Qiqi, brought the pork head meat to the town to sell, and continued chatting with Qian Qiqi.

He pretended to be casual, and brought up the topic of the junior high school that Qian Qiqi and Guan Baiyu attended, and also brought up Yan Jiangtao.

"My younger brother got good grades in school, but he was envied by others. There was a guy named Yan Jiangtao who always called him dirty and bullied him outside." Shi Zhen said.

"Is there such a thing? Master, do you want me to teach him for you?"

"You need a simple lesson? It's too easy for me to beat him, but my brother still has to study in school... After he is beaten by me, I'm afraid he will make trouble for my brother." Shi Zhen said.

After Yan Jiangtao scolded Guan Baiyu in front of him that day, Shi Zhen wanted to teach him a lesson that night.

But there are not many people from outside in this country, the buildings are low-density, and there are no forests, so it is difficult for him to beat Yan Jiangtao secretly without being seen by others.

And if he is seen by others... then Yan Jiangtao will 100% take revenge on Guan Baiyu.

It is impossible for him to protect Guan Baiyu all the time, what if Yan Jiangtao hits Guan Baiyu in a place where he can't see?

Even if Yan Jiangtao doesn't beat Guan Baiyu, if he goes to the teacher, parents, etc., he and Guan Baiyu will easily suffer.

Guan Baiyu's adoptive parents don't care about Guan Baiyu, but he...he is a foreigner and has no roots here.

So Shi Zhen decided to find another way to deal with Yan Jiangtao at that time.

He delayed doing this for a week, hoping that Yan Jiangtao would not think of himself and Guan Baiyu.

"That's what you said... so what should I do?" Qian Qi got confused, "If I was still in school, I could tell people that Master, your brother, is under my protection, but now I have graduated..."

Shi Zhendao: "There is a way... Didn't you say that you have a few younger brothers who are still in the third year of junior high school? You do it like this..."

Shi Zhen shared his thoughts with Qian Qiqi.

He won't let them do things that break the law, but Yan Jiangtao has a dirty mouth, so he must be taught a lesson.

What Shi Zhen said was not difficult to do, and it was quite interesting to think about it, Qian Li agreed without hesitation, a little eager to try.

On the other side, Guan Baiyu was also thinking about Yan Jiangtao.

In the past, Yan Jiangtao scolded him a few times, but he didn't take it seriously, but when Yan Jiangtao scolded him in front of his brother, and said that his brother's products were not good, he was a little annoyed.

That might affect his brother's business!

However, Yan Jiangtao still came to school happily every day, and he disliked the disgusting pork head meat he brought at noon... This matter must not be left alone.

Shi Zhen arrived in town at six o'clock in the morning, and it was already past eight o'clock when the pot of pork head meat was sold out, and the sales were much slower than before.

He didn't ask Qian to accompany him to sell it, so he went nearby to eat a bowl of shredded pork noodles with pickled mustard and came to him when he closed the stall.

"Master, are you going home now?" Qian Qiqi asked.

Shi Zhen shook his head: "Wait before we go back, let's go to Xinhua Bookstore first."

He planned to buy some exercises and do it for Guan Baiyu.

He asked Guan Baiyu, and Guan Baiyu said that there will be an exam in the school in a week, and after the exam, the number of places to be recommended to high school will be determined, and the recommendation is based on the results of this exam and the final exam results of last semester. .

He had confidence in Guan Baiyu, but felt that Guan Baiyu had better consolidate his knowledge in all aspects.

And even if he is recommended, according to the regulations of J City, Guan Baiyu still has to take the senior high school entrance examination, but if he is a recommended student, he can get into the recommended school with a much lower score.

Let's put it this way, if the school Guan Baiyu attended, if there is no recommendation quota, there will be no students admitted to the key points of Changxi City. In this way, it will definitely be able to get on.

For children 30 or [-] years later, their parents often buy a lot of extracurricular exercises for them, and they still don’t do it, but at this time... Xinhua Bookstore sells very few extracurricular exercises, and Guan Baiyu doesn’t even want one.

In addition, Guan Baiyu has no extracurricular books at all, and has only read some books in the reading room of their school.

There is a Xinhua Bookstore in the town, which is also the only bookstore. Next to the Xinhua Bookstore is a stationery store.

Shi Zhen didn't have a lot of money, he remembered that Guan Baiyu had already bought stationery last time, so he didn't go to the stationery store, he only went into the bookstore.

At this time, the prices of many industrial products were about the same as they would be 30 or 12 years later, and the prices of books were not cheap. Shi Zhen searched and selected two exercise books for third-year junior high school students, which cost [-] yuan in total.

After choosing the exercise booklet, he looked at the extracurricular books... At this time, there were not many extracurricular books available, and the prices were not cheap. Shi Zhen finally chose "Up and Down 5000 Years", priced at 18.7 yuan.

After paying at the cashier who didn't like to talk to people, Shi Zhen walked home with the book in his arms.

Seeing the book, Qian Qi felt a little sympathetic to Guan Baiyu: "You have to ask Guan Baiyu to do all these topics? There is still such a thick book, can Guan Baiyu finish it?"

Shi Zhendao: "There are not many topics, and as for that book, I probably won't be able to read it for long." He remembered that Guan Baiyu was a fast reader. Of course, Guan Baiyu has not done a lot of reading now, so he should read a little slower, but he doesn't think so. Where will it be slow.

Qian Qi felt more sympathetic to Guan Baiyu.

Shi Zhen and Qian Qiqi chatted while walking, most of the chats were about Qian Qiqi's junior high school, listening to him, he couldn't help worrying about the teaching quality of Guan Baiyu's junior high school.

He has always known that the quality of teaching in rural schools at this time was average, but Qian Qiqi didn't even know the order of dynasties like "Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing", so it was a bit too much.

But Guan Baiyu should know this knowledge.

After all, Qian Qi is a school bully who went to school in the third year of junior high school, but Guan Baiyu is the No.1 in the fast class.

When Shi Zhen returned with his books, Guan Baiyu was sewing a quilt cover.

He only recently discovered that Shi Zhen and Shi Xinghuo didn't even have bedding, so they could only sleep with straw under their bodies and wore cotton jackets.

They even slept through the bridge hole before!

Guan Baiyu was a little distressed, so he thought about making some quilts for Shi Zhen and the others—his grandmother used to weave cloth on a loom in the early years, and because she didn't want to give things to her daughter-in-law, she saved a lot of cloth.

Originally, if these cloths were new, his adoptive mother and aunt would definitely take them away after his grandma died, but his grandma had been lying on the bed for almost two years before she passed away. After eating well, I took out all the quilts and clothes that I was reluctant to wear before, and covered them up.

Before the old man died, there was a lot of smell on her body, so that when she died, his aunt didn't want those things, and his adoptive mother stubbornly didn't take them.

He had asked Shi Zhen, and Shi Zhen didn't mind using what his grandma left behind, so he took out those quilt covers and sheets, washed them, dried them, and then sewed them up.

Seeing Shi Zhen coming back, Guan Baiyu stood up immediately: "Brother, why did it take you so long to come back?"

"The business is not very good recently." Shi Zhen said, no matter what kind of food, there will be a little more people who buy it at first, but the business will not be so good after a long time.

But if no one else steals the business, he can still sell three pig heads a day.

As for the future...then definitely have to develop other products.

Guan Baiyu was a little worried, but Shi Zhen didn't take it seriously. He took out the book he bought from his school bag and gave it to Guan Baiyu: "Xiaoyu, aren't you guys going to take the exam soon? You can do the above questions, and this book, You can watch it when you have free time."

Guan Baiyu didn't expect Shi Zhen to buy a book for himself, and he was a little surprised. When he saw the price of the book, he was shocked again: "It's so expensive!"

"It's okay, books, they must be expensive... I can read them with you." Shi Zhen said.

Guan Baiyu gently touched the book in his hand: "I must read it carefully!"

It was still early, Shi Zhen put down the empty basin, took another basin, and went to the town again.

This time, the money didn't go. His master told him some things, and he needed to make some arrangements.

Shi Zhen went to town three times that day and sold three pig heads.

A few days ago, because the iron pot at home was often used to stew pig's head, Shi Zhen's food was very simple, and they didn't cook much at all.

But today the pot was empty, so Shi Zhen cooked a few dishes in the evening.

Scrambled eggs with buckwheat scallions, stewed tofu with lettuce leaves, and a piece of pork head meat for each person, all three of them were very full.

Guan Baiyu slept with a smile that night.

But the next day...

Guan Baiyu pulled two out of the stack of plastic bags that Shi Zhen bought for business that day, and put them in his schoolbag.

Every day after lunch, Yan Jiangtao would go outside the classroom and lean against the teaching building to smoke with a few friends.

He always thought it was a very cool thing.

He was smoking that day when two plastic bags filled with water suddenly fell from the top of his head and hit him on the head.

Before he could react at all, he was smashed all over his face, the smell of mud spread, and the cigarette in his mouth was instantly extinguished.

Yan Jiangtao, who was showing off the bicycle he just bought, was stunned for a moment. What made him feel even more disgusted was...the water is dirty!

What the hell is this?

Yan Jiangtao was so angry that he raised his head quickly, but saw nothing: "Who threw me!"

After Yan Jiangtao's family became rich, they became very clean. After being thrown in the face like this, he was naturally very angry, and he wanted to find out the person who threw him.

Their teaching building has only three floors in total. He went to the classrooms on the upper two floors, and there were people eating in them. He said that no one would throw him away because of people, so he followed him to his class...

Those in his class who had conflicts with him were also eating well. Guan Baiyu, whose living conditions have improved recently, just finished his portion of pork head meat bibimbap.

After a lot of tossing, Yan Jiangtao not only failed to find the person who threw him, but also was seen by many people in a mess, and finally left school resentfully, and went home to take a shower.

Guan Baiyu took the enamel cup he had brought with him and went to the sink to wash it.

Before eating, he used the excuse of going to the toilet and went to the rooftop.

There are two doors on the roof, one is a wooden door with a latch that can be opened by anyone, and the other is a locked iron door.

The iron gate is just a few iron bars, one of which has been corroded, and it can be broken open with force. He is small, and he can pass through the iron bar after taking off his coat.

When he got to the rooftop, he calculated the location, made a small mechanism, put a plastic bag filled with water and a little mud on it, and then went back to the classroom by himself.

As soon as he returned to the classroom, the two bags of water fell on Yan Jiangtao's head...

He thought he would have to try a few more times to succeed, or that he might not be able to hit Yan Jiangtao's head, but he didn't expect it to be done just once.

Guan Baiyu heard that everyone in the classroom was talking about Yan Jiangtao, so he didn't follow up, but took out the math problems that Shi Zhen bought for him.

He has never seen many of the above topics before, and it will take some effort to solve them.

Yan Jiangtao will definitely not come to school this afternoon, he can take his time.

It is true that Yan Jiangtao did not come to school in the afternoon, which made a few third-year students who rarely came to school a little dumbfounded.

They prepared water from the ditches, intending to water Yan Jiangtao all over before making fun of him, but now that Yan Jiangtao is not here...the bucket of water can only be used to water the vegetables grown behind the school.

You know, this water is not ordinary water, it is very fat!

Next to the ditch, a family built a shed next to each other and raised more than a dozen pigs. When their family cleaned the pigsty every few days, they would wash the pig manure into the ditch with water.

The weeds near the canal are much stronger than other places. Last time, a child accidentally fell into it, and his parents washed him three times without thinking.
