Reborn to Strive

Guan Baiyu waited for the female customer who bought rice balls to leave before going to talk to Shi Zhen, and by the way gave Shi Zhen the boiled broad beans in his hand.

Shi Zhen was already hungry easily at his age, not to mention he had a lot of work to do, so he immediately stuffed a few broad beans into his mouth.

But before he could eat a few more, a guest came and asked for five rice balls at a time... Shi Zhen immediately got busy.

Now Shi Zhen sells two kinds of rice balls, and among them, rice balls made with soy sauce and lard rice sell much better than white rice balls, and more people buy rice balls for one yuan.

Often after three or four hours of pinching, his hands are sore.

"Xiao Yu, do you want rice balls? I'll pinch one for you? If you pinch less, the rice will be full of fillings." Shi Zhen looked at Guan Baiyu.

"Brother, make me an ordinary rice ball, and I'll take it with me for lunch." Guan Baiyu said.

Shi Zhen glanced at Guan Baiyu, but didn't listen to Guan Baiyu. Instead, he took out the lunch box he bought for Guan Baiyu earlier and started to put things in it.

This stainless steel lunch box has two flat layers. On the first layer, he put various vegetables mixed with lean meat, and on the other layer, he put a ball of white rice, and put some peanut egg skins on the side.

Guan Baiyu didn't want cold dishes that could be very expensive, but Shi Zhen paid special attention to his nutrition.

In the end, Guan Baiyu could only make a small suggestion: "Brother, put some pickles for me." It is very delicious to eat with pickles and peanuts.

Shi Zhen disagreed: "Children, don't eat too much pickles."

Guan Baiyu: "..." His aunt gave him some snacks to find him a partner, and his brother still treats him like a child!

But his brother doesn't want to find a partner for the time being, which is fine.

Guan Baiyu wanted to ask his brother's opinion on finding a mate, but he was afraid that after he asked, Shi would perk up his mind, so he didn't ask any more. As for Chen Juanjuan, he could use his brother's temporary lack of interest as a prevarication.

Guan Baiyu entered the Xinhua Bookstore with a lunch box on his back.

He came to the bookstore almost every day, and the staff of the bookstore had known him for a long time, even some people who often came to the bookstore knew him.

As soon as he entered today, an old man in his 60s greeted him with a smile: "Little friend, are you reading again?"

"Yes." Guan Baiyu smiled at the other party.

The man asked again: "Are you still doing exercises today?"

Guan Baiyu nodded, and took out a notebook and pen from his bag: "Yes, I still have some questions to do."

He helps Shi Zhen, Shi Zhen doesn't pay him like Shi Xinghuo does, but every week, Shi Zhen gives him five pocket money.

He basically doesn't use this money, but he still uses it to buy school supplies, and now he has no shortage of pens and paper.

Guan Baiyu has finished reading the few supplementary books in the bookstore for the third grade of junior high school, and now he is looking at the second grade of junior high school.

There is some knowledge in it, which he, a junior in junior high school, didn't understand all of it... He now understands why Shi Zhen wanted him to study well in high school.

There is a big difference between a good school and a bad school.

"There are not many people who study hard like you." The old man sighed.

Guan Baiyu smiled and didn't say much.

This old man is a retired teacher in the town, and he usually comes to Xinhua Bookstore to read books, so he became familiar with him.

Recently, if he doesn't understand anything in mathematics, he will ask this teacher, and he can get an answer every time.

When he saw noon, he took his lunch box outside the bookstore and ate his own lunch.

No food is allowed in the bookstore.

When Guan Baiyu was eating at the door of the bookstore, Shi Zhen had already gone home and slept, and had just gotten up for lunch.

The room was a bit stuffy due to the constant stewing, so the two of them took a bowl and went to eat in a cool place under the tree at the door.

Just himself and Shi Xinghuo, Shi Zhen was too lazy to cook complicated dishes, so he fried fried rice with pickled vegetables and eggs, and Shi Xinghuo and Shi Xinghuo each had a big bowl.

They ate very deliciously, and while they were eating, they saw a little girl running towards them quickly and hiding behind them.

At the same time, an old lady in her fifties caught up with a bowl and fed a spoonful of rice to the little girl.

Mouth: "Xiao Yi, good boy, take another bite, just take one bite!"

The little girl refused to eat while hiding.

The old lady tried her best to coax her: "Today's meal is really delicious, take another bite."

"If you don't eat wild cats, they will come and eat them."

"If you take another bite, grandma won't ask you to eat again."

……

The little girl didn't like to eat, and often held a mouthful of rice in her mouth without swallowing it.

And her grandma stuffed food into her mouth whenever she had time.

Seeing that the old lady tried her best to feed the child in every possible way, she agreed to only have one more bite but there was another after that, Shi Zhen felt a little sympathetic to the child.

Anyway, if he substituted this little girl, he couldn't stand being forced to eat.

But he can't control many things, and people don't listen to him.

"Do you see how good brother is eating? If you don't eat anymore, your mother will come back and beat you!" The old lady suddenly mentioned Shi Zhen and Shi Xinghuo.

Shi Zhen: "..." Be good?

The old lady took the opportunity to stuff her granddaughter with a mouthful of rice, and started talking to Shi Zhen: "Brother Guan Baiyu, did your family promise you a kiss?"

Shi Zhen said: "No."

"Shall I tell you one?" The old lady smiled.

Shi Zhen didn't expect that someone wanted to introduce someone to him so soon, and he was a little helpless: "Auntie, I'm still young, so I don't plan to find a partner yet."

"It's not too young. It's easy to find someone at your age. If you don't find a good partner sooner, you will end up looking for a foreigner." The old lady said.

Outsider Shi Zhen: "..."

"Those outsiders will run away if they don't go well. That woman from the Li family ran away and took all of Xiao Li's money." They were all picked out.

And the Xiao Li she was talking about was really unlucky. The women who were tricked out of the mountains and sold here a few years ago were all different.

Some feel that their fate is bitter and accept their fate.

Some refused to compromise and ran home.

What's more, I found a way to make money. Some women simply sell themselves, find someone who can't marry a wife, tell them how much money they will pay, and live with them. After receiving the money, they run away and find The next goal is to cheat money.

Xiao Li mentioned by the old lady is one of the people who was cheated of money.

The old lady talked about her theory based on her life experience, and persuaded Shi Zhen to find a partner.

Shi Zhen responded with a smile, not angry at all, but he didn't take what the old man said seriously.

Shi Xinghuo looked at the old lady eagerly.

Although the hometowns of Guan Baiyu and Shi Xinghuo are not in J City, they are also in the same province. Although the dialects of the two places are very different, they can still be understood after listening a lot.

Shi Xinghuo probably understood what the old lady meant, she wanted to introduce someone to Shi Zhen.

He also wants a partner!

However, Shi Xinghuo couldn't speak the local dialect, and he always remembered that his parents said that when he went back to tell him about his marriage, he couldn't ask the old lady to introduce him. In the end, he could only look at Shi Xinghuo enviously. vibration.

Shi Zhen: "..." He didn't want such envy.

But no matter how much others urged him, if he didn't want to get married, others couldn't help it.

He had been with Guan Baiyu for many years in his previous life, but others didn't know about their relationship. His family and even the villagers kept urging him to get married.

But he didn't want to tie up, and those people couldn't help him.

After going through some things, he felt that the two men were unstable, and he also felt that he was a pervert. He thought about separating from Guan Baiyu, getting married and having children, but just thinking about it, something happened.

It was only later that he realized that it was impossible for him to find a woman to marry and have children. A person like him only likes men.

After the old lady stuffed a bowl of rice into her granddaughter's stomach, she was finally satisfied and left with her granddaughter.

Shi Xinghuo had already skewered the fried skewers to be sold in the evening, so Shi Zhen could take a rest and took a walk in the village.

Peas and broad beans have matured recently, and these two things are what people in the village eat the most these days.

Guan Baiyu didn't grow these two, so Shi Zhen went to Guan Guangguo's house to buy broad beans from Guan Guangguo.

The chickens in Guan Guang's country have been raised for a month, and they are not too small, and they will be ready to sell in another month.

After the chickens in his family survived the first few days, they didn't die much, and one died occasionally, which was also within the normal range.

Today happened to be the weekend, when Shi Zheng just came over, he saw Guan Jinjin looking unlovable, helping his parents clean up the chicken manure.

Seeing Shi Zhen, Guan Jinjin didn't know what to say.

She read all of Shi Zhen's book to her dad. After listening to her dad, she realized that she had not done a good job in many aspects, and raised chickens with more care.

She was grateful to Shi Zhen.

But after her father took more care in raising the chickens, she couldn't stand it when she always asked her to help take care of the chickens.

And I don't know what's going on with her dad, he never gets tired of listening to that book, and after she finished reading it once, she asked her to read it a second time, which made Guan Jinjin's mind full of how to raise chickens, and she didn't even think about it when she saw Shi Zhen Look at Shi Zhen's face.

She even found reading interesting.

Anyway, it's much more interesting than cleaning up chicken manure.

Her pitiful look was really interesting. It was the first time Shi Zhen saw someone raising chickens, so he watched it for a while, and asked Guan Guangguo about raising chickens by the way.

While chatting, people around who had nothing to do came over to watch the excitement, and some people asked Guan Guangguo to clean up the chicken manure.

This place is very lively, Guan Baiyu saw it immediately when he returned home.

His brother stood out from the crowd, and Guan Jinjinguan Lanlan was by his brother's side.

"Brother!" Guan Baiyu called out.

Seeing Guan Baiyu, Shi Zhen walked towards Guan Baiyu without hesitation.

Guan Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief.
