Reborn to Strive

Ever since he was at the same table with Yan Jiangtao in the third class of junior high school, Guan Baiyu was picked on by Yan Jiangtao every day.

He can ignore the words, and occasionally Yan Jiangtao kicks his legs and pricks his arms with a pen, but he also bears it.

He wanted to study hard and didn't want to conflict with Yan Jiangtao.

At best, he secretly threw caterpillars into Yan Jiangtao's schoolbag.

He didn't dare to go too far because he was afraid that Yan Jiangtao would retaliate against him.

A few days ago, he poured muddy water on Yan Jiangtao's head, firstly because he was really angry, and secondly because Shi Zhen's appearance gave him confidence.

And now, he was angry like never before.

Guan Baiyu looked at Yan Jiangtao with a gloomy expression.

Yan Jiangtao was inexplicably a little uneasy, and was even more disgusted by the way Guan Baiyu looked at him. He said immediately: "What are you looking at? Look at me again and I will beat you."

Guan Baiyu wanted to beat Yan Jiangtao right now, but he still had an exam in the afternoon.

Picking up his schoolbag, Guan Baiyu went to the toilet.

He wiped the vegetable soup off his schoolbag with a rag, but it was too late.His bag was sewn with cloth by himself, and it is not waterproof at all. Now the books in the bag are all wrinkled due to the water, and it still smells like food.

Guan Baiyu wiped his schoolbag clean, and went back to wipe his own stool with a rag.

Yan Jiangtao crossed Erlang's legs, shaking them, watching Guan Baiyu's work with great interest, and knocked on Guan Baiyu's table leg with his trembling legs. I owe a beating.

But most of the people around dare not speak out. Yan Jiangtao is rich and has many friends, and most of them in the fast class just want to study hard, so they have nothing to do with people like Yan Jiangtao.

Guan Baiyu wiped the tables and chairs, and when he went to wash the rags, the girl sitting behind Guan Baiyu chased after him: "Guan Baiyu, do you want to tell the teacher? I will testify to you that Yan Jiangtao poured the vegetable soup. "

Guan Baiyu nodded, and went to the office with the girl.

The teachers of the first and second grades of their school were assigned to other schools to invigilate the examination, but the teachers of the third grade did not go and stayed in the school.

When Guan Baiyu and the girl entered the office, they saw their homeroom teacher sitting on his seat reading a large novel. When he saw them coming in, he asked, "What do you want?"

Before Guan Baiyu could speak, the girl said, "Mr. Chen, Yan Jiangtao poured the rest of the vegetable soup on Guan Baiyu's stool and schoolbag after eating today!"

Chen is their common surname in Anshan Town. There are a lot of people surnamed Chen here. Their homeroom teacher has the same surname as the invigilator.

Hearing what the girl said, he subconsciously said, "Did he accidentally?"

"He did it on purpose!" the girl said.

Guan Baiyu also said: "Yan Jiangtao did it on purpose. He admitted it himself. During the exam before, he even threw paper balls at me, accusing me of cheating."

Their homeroom teacher is partial to Yan Jiangtao, and Guan Baiyu has known about this for a long time.

But what should be said, still has to be said.

"Yes! During the exam, Yan Jiangtao even told the invigilator that Guan Baiyu cheated, how could Guan Baiyu cheat!" The girl followed closely, she and Guan Baiyu were in the same exam room, so she was about to tell about it.

Guan Baiyu followed: "At that time, Yan Jiangtao threw a ball of paper at me, and he framed me."

The girl was busy with the questions at the time, and didn't know how the ball of paper came about, but now she found out that there was something about Yan Jiangtao in it, and she was filled with righteous indignation.

The head teacher was also a little embarrassed: "I see, you go back first and call Yan Jiangtao here."

It's so painless and muddy again.

Guan Baiyu had long given up relying on the teacher to obtain justice, and did not stay long after hearing what the head teacher said, and left an office with that girl.

"Yan Jiangtao is too much!" The girl kept talking, but she stopped talking after entering the classroom, she was also afraid of Yan Jiangtao.

Returning to his seat, Guan Baiyu looked at Yan Jiangtao and asked Yan Jiangtao to go to the office.

Yan Jiangtao's smug expression disappeared.He bullied Guan Baiyu a lot before, but Guan Baiyu basically kept silent. He went to see his teacher last semester

After the teacher didn't agree to change seats, I didn't go to the teacher anymore.

Unexpectedly, Guan Baiyu would have the courage to go to the teacher today!

After glaring at Guan Baiyu, Yan Jiangtao went to the office, but after a while, he came back and slammed on his seat.

Guan Baiyu ignored him and just read his English textbook.

Among all the subjects, he is the worst at learning English.

For the same word, when the teacher taught them, they might say one sound today and another sound tomorrow. When he asked the teacher, the teacher simply told him not to care how the word was pronounced, just memorize it.

But memorizing vocabulary is a more painful thing for him.

He is willing to recite Chinese texts and long ancient poems, but he doesn't want to recite English, even if he recites it, he will forget it the next day.

But all the students in his class are like this, so his English score can also be among the top five in the class.

Yan Jiangtao made a lot of noise, but Guan Baiyu didn't react at all, which made him even more annoyed.

Guan Baiyu looks down on him just because of his grades!

Do what he can!

Just like Guan Baiyu, he can't make much money after studying!

Their family can earn thousands of dollars a month by operating looms, and the school teachers can't make so much in a year!

Thinking so, Yan Jiangtao kicked Guan Baiyu's stool and chatted with the boy in the front seat.

"My shoes cost more than 100 a pair! They are famous brands!" Yan Jiangtao showed off triumphantly, not forgetting to tease Guan Baiyu, "Guan Baiyu, did you pick up your shoes? Did you pick up your clothes and shoes from the trash can?" What to wear? Do you want me to give you my old clothes? Forget it, I will not give it to you, you are so dirty, I feel sick just thinking of wearing my old clothes on you!"

Guan Baiyu remained motionless, making the person who was talking to Yan Jiangtao embarrassed.

No matter what Yan Jiangtao said, it didn't take long before the afternoon exam began.

During the exam in the afternoon, the invigilator still kept wandering around Guan Baiyu, coming over to read Guan Baiyu's test paper from time to time, but fortunately nothing else happened, Guan Baiyu passed all the exams smoothly.

When the exams are over, the students will be on vacation—tomorrow is Saturday, and there are classes in the morning, but they don't come to school after they just finished the exams.

How nice it is to have two days to play!The students in the class are all in high spirits.

When Guan Baiyu walked to the school gate, he saw Shi Zhen riding a bicycle: "Brother!"

"Let's go," Shi Zhen laughed, "Go home."

Guan Baiyu smiled and rolled his eyes, the messy things he encountered in school didn't make him feel so uncomfortable anymore.

Shi Zhen sent Guan Baiyu home, and hurried to the town to close the stall.

Now Shi Zhen's stall sells not only cold-cut pork head meat, but also marinated eggs and dried bean curd.

He sold braised eggs and dried tofu so cheaply that some people would spend fifty cents to buy them as snacks when they came to town.

There are even students who buy marinated eggs and dried tofu for breakfast in the morning.

In this way, business will be much better.

Because of the money he hired, someone could keep looking at the stall in the town, and his stall could still be open from morning to night, and he sold more things.

Now that he sells pig heads, he can no longer sell one pig head in an hour as he did at the beginning, but because of the long selling time, he can sell out four pig heads in one day. As for the eggs and dried beans, he boils them every time Big pot, but by noon, it was basically sold out.

In fact, he also wanted to cook more, but Guan Baiyu's family only had one pot, which was not enough.

Shi Zhen has already decided to buy two coal stoves this weekend. From now on, he will stew pig heads and so on on the coal stoves. When he buys dried beans and marinated eggs in the town, he will also put a coal stove under it. Let customers eat hot food.

In addition, Shi Zhen also wants to buy a rice cooker, so that cooking at home will be easier.

If you use an iron pot to cook, you will get a thick crust, and you have to be watched by someone. It is very troublesome, not to mention that it still occupies the pot. It is best to eliminate it.

At the end of the day, his net profit after excluding costs is about

Seventy or eighty, and after deducting the paid wages and various household expenses, an average of sixty can be saved a day, but because the business has not lasted for a long time and some daily necessities have been purchased, the total deposit now is only 400 yuan.

It costs money to buy a coal stove, money to buy briquettes, and even more money to buy a rice cooker and what he has in mind.

The larger tricycle he was looking at cost 800 yuan.

But if there is such a car, he will definitely be able to relax a lot, and the stalls can be placed directly on the tricycle.

Shi Zhen had started a business in his previous life, and he also knew many people who started their businesses from a poor background. They basically worked hard and made it big little by little.

If he does it all over again, he will inevitably have to go through it like this.

When Shi Zhen arrived in the town, the braised eggs and dried tofu had already been sold out, but there was still a lot of pork head meat left.

The leftover pork head was stewed this afternoon. It’s been cold recently, so it doesn’t matter if it’s sold tomorrow, but Shi Zhen and Qian Qiqi continued to sell it for a while. The pork head meat is almost sold out before closing the stall and going home.

And at this time, Worker Shi Xinghuo also came over.

Shi Zhen tied the things that were not easy to carry to the back seat of the bicycle, and asked Qian to get up and ride back. Shi Xinghuo and himself, each with a basket, walked back with odds and ends.

It was dark when they got home.

Because he was busy late, Shi Zhen asked Qian to eat at his home recently, and it was the same today.

Guan Baiyu had already cooked rice, Shi Zhen took out the rice in the pot, fried a large plate of scrambled eggs with buckwheat and green onions, and fried shredded lettuce with dried shredded tofu, and finally put the remaining cold-cut pork head meat and boiled Eggs on the table are a hearty meal.

After eating, Shi Zhen gave Qiqi five yuan, and said: "Qiqi, you have been working very long every day recently, and I will give you ten yuan a day starting tomorrow."

In fact, since Qianqi provided bicycles, his salary of five yuan for Qianqi seemed a bit low.

Now the money is very good at doing things, and the hands and feet are also nimble. It is obviously not appropriate to give the money five yuan a day.

A wage increase is inevitable.

Qian Qi refused without even thinking about it: "Master, there's no need, it's fine for me to eat meat and eggs at your place every day, and I basically just sit and look at the stalls during the day..."

"You don't eat much," Shi Zhen said with a smile, "That's the decision."

Qian Qiqi is a local, and he likes to travel around and meet many people. Asking Qian Qiqi to help him look after the stalls is really beneficial!

Among other things, when the people from Qianqi's village came to the town, they would more or less buy some cooked food from Qianqi's place.

Qian got up and left after eating, Shi Zhen chatted with Shi Xinghuo again, and asked Shi Xinghuo about the construction site.

The river mud has been dug, and now Shi Xinghuo is moving stones and mixing cement there every day. Although he is a little tired, it is not dangerous, and he can do it.

The most gratifying thing is that Wang Cheng found out that Shi Xinghuo's income has been restored to 15 yuan a day when he doesn't care about things. Although he has to finish all the work to get it, it is still a happy thing.

Shi Zhen asked Shi Xinghuo to light the fire, and he started to deal with the pig's head to be sold tomorrow.

When it was finally dealt with, Shi Zhen saw Shi Xinghuo lying in the pile of straw behind the stove, already drowsy. As for Guan Baiyu, he had just washed the pots and pans they used today.

He also washed his schoolbag.

Guan Baiyu has become more and more fond of cleanliness recently.

Shi Zhen added some firewood to the stove.

He had been busy for a whole day, and he did all the tiring work such as moving goods back and forth and purchasing items by himself. He couldn't hold on at the moment, so he went into the next room and lay down on the straw piled up in Guan Baiyu's room. down.

Guan Baiyu came in and saw it, and hurriedly said: "Brother, you can go to bed and lie down."

"No, I'm dirty." Shi Zhen said, then took out the money box, and began to calculate today's income, keeping accounts by the way.

He also took this opportunity to chat with Guan Baiyu.

In his previous life, Shi Zhen also read some books on education more or less. It was mentioned above that he must communicate more with adolescent children.

So he would take time to chat with Guan Baiyu every day.

This kind of chat can let them understand each other, and it can also broaden Guan Baiyu's horizons.

Guan Baiyu grew up in the countryside. He saw that he sold cooked food well before, and said that he should not go to school anymore, and wanted to sell cooked food as well... Shi Zhen dispelled his thoughts by chatting.

Today Shi Zhen talked about the big city with Guan Baiyu: "The big city is completely different from here. There are many houses with dozens of floors over there, and the people who live there take elevators to go up and down...you go to the big city in the future." If you study in the city, you can see it.”

Guan Baiyu has heard a lot from Shi Zhen, and already knows how good big cities are, but studying requires money.

He knew that Shi Zhen wanted him to continue studying, so he said, "Brother, are you busy now? I'll show you the stall tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Shi Zhendao: "Looking at the stalls is enough for one person, Xiao Yu, your grandparents' biggest wish is to have a college student in the family. I will definitely not succeed. Now it depends on you. You will watch the fire at home on weekends, and read books along the way? "

Watching the fire is really easy, Guan Baiyu nodded: "OK."

Of course he can't just watch the fire tomorrow, he can also do some other housework, such as cooking.

He still has to go out...

Thinking of Yan Jiangtao framing himself for cheating and throwing vegetable soup on his schoolbag today, Guan Baiyu's heart became angry again.

It is absolutely impossible for him to endure these two things today.

When he was in school, it was not good for him to make a big fuss about it, and it had no effect on Yan Jiangtao. For a person who didn't want to study, it didn't matter whether he cheated in the exam and got zero points or was criticized by the teacher.

But he can make trouble elsewhere.

Having been at the same table with Yan Jiangtao for more than half a year, Guan Baiyu has gained a deep understanding of Yan Jiangtao. Yan Jiangtao is very afraid of his father.

And Yan Jiangtao's father is very face-saving.

I think so, coming from poverty, I used to live without dignity, and now I have money and are highly sought after, who doesn't love face?

Guan Baiyu plans to go to Yan Jiangtao's house tomorrow.

Shi Zhen counted the money, and fell asleep without paying attention, but after a while, he woke up suddenly, got up and went outside to see what happened to the pig's head in the pot.

The pig's head was already stewed, so Shi Zhen fished it out and put it into another pig's head to stew. At the same time, he was thinking of making something else to sell, such as cold pork head meat.

What he sells now is too easy to be imitated, he must innovate.

After buying a tricycle, he plans to call his family to help. If there are more people, they can do more business and improve the living conditions of the family.

Life in their village is really hard. There is no food to grow on the mountain at all, and there is no surplus food, so it is impossible to raise chickens and pigs.

They seldom have the opportunity to eat meat. If they don't eat meat, they will be hungry easily and need to eat more food, but they don't have any food yet.

When Shi Zhen was a child, he often went hungry.

So after he got rich, he was once like other people of his age. He loved to eat, and he wanted to eat meat every meal. They didn't see the food being wasted. Even if they were full, they would find a way to find food left. Stuff it all in your belly...

When Guan Baiyu died, he weighed 180 Jin.

If he wasn't tall enough, he would be out of shape.

But when Guan Baiyu passed away, he lost weight, and his interest in eating became less and less day by day.

Shi Zhen is not picky about food, the only thing he doesn't like is potatoes.

People in his village often eat potatoes as food and vegetables, and the method is very simple... He had to eat them at that time, but later when the living conditions improved, he didn't like to eat them.

On the contrary, Guan Baiyu really likes to eat potatoes.

It is precisely because of the poor life when he was a child that Shi Zhen came out to work without hesitation when he was here.

But in his previous life, due to various reasons, although he was prosperous, his family did not enjoy much blessing.

When he was at home, he would help his father with farm work, but once he left, his father would not be able to do it alone.

The stepmother can only help.

Something happened to this gang, and his stepmother accidentally broke her leg.

People in their village generally don't go to big hospitals, so his stepmother went to a nearby village and found a doctor who was good at treating bone injuries. After seeing the doctor, she tied up her legs.

However, it didn't take long for the injury to worsen. The doctor couldn't see it and asked them to go to the big hospital. His father went to the big hospital with his stepmother behind his back, and then he learned that the amputation was needed.

At that time, he and Shi Xinghuo were still working on the construction site, not to mention that they didn't get paid, and they didn't have any contact with the family.

What about their family?His father and his stepmother raised four children in total, and the mountains were poor, so they had no savings at all.

In the end, they found a husband's family for his step-sister, and took a thousand five-color gift to go to the operation.

In their place, the betrothal gift is generally seven or eight hundred, and a betrothal gift of one thousand and five is definitely a sky-high price.

His step-sister is one year older than him, she is as ugly as his stepmother, and she doesn't like to talk, she only knows how to work on weekdays.

In her situation, the family was willing to spend a lot of money to marry her, no doubt it was not her looks or talents that mattered, but...the man who married his step-sister, there was something wrong.

The man has a very serious liver disease.

At that time, although he knew about his step-sister's marriage, he didn't know that there was something wrong with the man the step-sister married. It wasn't until he became rich and returned home that his step-sister came to borrow money from him to treat the child's illness. Know what happened.

But it was too late, his step-sister was also infected with liver disease, and even the child born to his steps-sister was also sick.

The whole family suffered from liver disease and couldn't do heavy work, so he spent money to support them all the time.

And his stepmother brought another daughter from his family, his step-sister, and his own sister, all of which were not satisfactory in their previous lives.

The relationship between these three people and him is not very good.

Where is his stepmother?Even after he gave a lot of money, she lost a leg and her daughter was in an unlucky marriage, she still disappeared early.

His dad was similar, he couldn't control his diet after he got rich, he loved sweets more than fatty meat, and there was no shortage of three highs... He also died of illness before his death.

Shi Zhen didn't want his family to repeat the same mistakes, the first thing he wanted to stop was his stepmother breaking her leg.

This happened this summer, so he planned to call them here in May and June to work with him.

His father is 45 this year, and his stepmother is 49 this year, his stepmother is older than his father. Although they look very old because of the year-round work and poor food, they should be much better raised, and they can also start a small business here.

No matter how hard it is to run a small business, it is better than farming in the mountains.

His step-sister is nineteen this year, and step-sister is seventeen this year. The two of them can start a small business or find a job when they come here. As for his younger sister, she is one year younger than Guan Baiyu, and he wants her to study.

Shi Zhen thought a lot that night, and fell asleep after thinking about it.

People who do manual labor will not suffer from insomnia even if they can't help but think too much.

The next day, Shi Zhen went to the town early in the morning to set up a stall, and then found that there was another stall similar to his at the entrance of the vegetable market, selling exactly the same things.

Shi Zhen had expected this situation a long time ago, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't lower the price to engage in a price war. They are all small businesses and earn some hard money. If they lower the price again, they really won't make much money!

Shi Zhen didn't lower the price, and it's the same over there.

The one who set up a stall selling pig's head stewed eggs and dried beans was a middle-aged couple. The prices of the things on their stall were exactly the same as Shi Zhen's, and they looked similar.

Shi Zhen even had an impression of that man - this man came to him to buy things several times.

Shi Zhen was not surprised at all that someone robbed the business, but he was very angry when he got the money: "Master, they are learning from us!"

"Cold-cut pork head meat and braised meat are not my original methods," Shi Zhen reassured him, "If you can earn more money than working in this kind of small business, there must be others who will follow suit. When there is less money, there will be no new arrivals, and the market will balance supply and demand."

Qian sounds confused.

Shi Zhen said: "Okay, let's set up a stall... I'll buy a coal stove, and then I'll buy some

Plastic sheeting... It's not raining recently, but in a few days, it may rain every day, and then we will use plastic sheeting to build a shed. "

It will be Qingming in a few days, and it will rain every now and then in J City.

Wait, it's going to be Qingming, can he sell some fake flowers wholesale?

The local people like to burn some silver ingots folded in tin foil when going to the grave during the Qingming Festival, and he can also get some to sell.

They are all small businesses, and they can't make big money, but they can make money.

Shi Zhen thought so, and didn't delay what he had to do.

He went to buy two coal stoves, asked where to buy briquettes, and bought a large bundle of plastic sheeting.

If it rains, we can build a simple shed with bamboo poles and cover it with plastic sheeting to keep out the wind and rain.

Shi Zhen's mentality is good, but he is very unhappy about the money, especially after adding more stalls, the things they sell are almost halved.

Many old customers who used to buy things from them would go to the stall opposite to buy and try something new - the taste of the things sold in different stores is always different.

When Shi Zhen came back from shopping, he saw Qian standing up with a mournful face, and immediately said: "Don't worry, we can sell other things in a few days."

When it came to money, he was still uneasy: "Master, otherwise you should give me five yuan a day's wages..." His master's future income may be cut in half...

"I said I'll give you ten yuan a day, so that's ten yuan," Shi Zhen laughed, "I can't make the horse run without grazing." He still wants to do other business!

It doesn't really mean that money is not for money. After all, there is no objection, but I can't help it, and I glared at the opposite person again.

The middle-aged couple chatted.

They were obviously doing business for the first time, and they were a little embarrassed to yell at them, but because they were newcomers and some people who knew them supported them, the business was okay.

It's just... when someone he knows comes to buy things, that middle-aged man sometimes turns red in the face and becomes speechless.

Shi Zhen looked amused.

He hung the coal stove he bought on both sides of the bicycle, said hello to Qian Li, and planned to go home first.

On the other side, Guan Baiyu stewed a pig's head, took it out of the pot, put rice in the pot, steamed two dishes, and left home.

He planned to find Yan Jiangtao's father.

Guan Baiyu doesn't know where Yan Jiangtao's home is, but he knows the general direction.

In addition, Yan Jiangtao's family has a loom, which should be very famous. If you ask for directions, you will definitely find a place.

Guan Baiyu put on his most ragged clothes, hugged the book that Yan Jiangtao damaged yesterday, and ran towards the village where Yan Jiangtao's family was.
