Reborn to Strive

Guan Baiyu's biological father's surname is Lu, and his family's conditions are quite good.

Guan Baiyu's grandfather used to be a cadre in the town, and later he was promoted to the city.

In his previous life, when Guan Baiyu was alive, he told Shi Zhen something about the situation of his own grandfather's family that he heard from the villagers, but Guan Baiyu never planned to recognize his relatives.

Later, Guan Baiyu disappeared, and Shi Zhen had no contact with the Lu family at all.

But they all lived in Changxi City, and he had met the Lu family.

The wife that Guan Baiyu married later gave birth to several children, and these children gave birth to children again. The Lu family is prosperous, and according to other people's evaluation, the family style is also good.

Those who are of the same generation as Guan Baiyu are quite promising.

Of course, this is also because the Lu family has connections.

There is no absolute fairness in this world. When the elders of the Lu family stay in places like the education system and the medical system, it will always be much easier for their juniors to enter.

Shi Zhen didn't know what happened back then to tell the Lu family not to want Guan Baiyu. He only knew that he didn't want to contact the Lu family at all.

Knowing that the house belonged to the Lu family, he hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should rent it...

He lied to Guan Baiyu that he was Guan Baiyu's cousin, but in fact he was not at all. What if Guan Baiyu had contact with the Lu family and found out?

But after a moment of hesitation, Shi Zhen rented it anyway.

There are too few houses for rent in the town, and it is not easy to find a suitable one.

And with Guan Baiyu's personality, he would not contact the Lu family.

As for Guan Baiyu's mother, he couldn't find this person at all in his previous life, and he probably won't show up suddenly in this life.

Shi Zhen paid the rent, and planned to repair the house himself in the next few days.

When he first started his business in his previous life, he also did some work, whether it was building walls or laying bricks.

He was very good at laying bricks, and at that time, the boss paid a lot of money to ask him to do it.

Although the house looks a bit dilapidated because no one has lived in it for a long time, the walls are quite solid. The biggest problem is the wooden floor of the attic. Due to years of disrepair and rain leakage, some places have been mothed. If it is not renovated, there is no way to go up to the attic ——If the wooden floor breaks, people will fall!

Of course, the roof is also important, and some tiles on it are chipped and need to be replaced.

Shi Zhen plans to buy some tiles, wood, lime powder, etc. to repair the house, and buy some cloth as curtains to divide the upper floor into three rooms, so that his older sisters can live in one room each.

His parents live in the room next to the patio downstairs, and the outside is used for cooking and setting up stalls.

With this house, he doesn't have to take the things from the stall home every day in the future, and can directly store them here.

As for the family's work... His parents can set up a stall with him.

His stepmother's two daughters stopped studying very early, and either went to work or went out with him like his parents.

It was his own sister, his sister was one year younger than Guan Baiyu, and she was late at school, and she was still in the first year of junior high school. Shi Zhen was going to find a way for her to continue studying here.

At this time, it is not difficult to transfer or borrow, but it needs money.

As for this money, Shi Zhen felt that he still had to pay.

Compared to the two daughters brought by his stepmother, Shi Zhen valued his own younger sister more.

After all, this is the person he watched as he was born, grew up, and is connected by blood.

It's just that in his previous life, the relationship between him and his sister got worse and worse with age...

His younger sister didn't know what was going on, she was very in love, first she was coaxed by a good-for-nothing little boy who could talk when she was less than [-] years old, and she lived in someone's house before she got married, and she gave birth to two daughters one after another when she got married.

Afterwards, that little boy's whole family treated her badly. She clamored for a divorce several times, and he also went to help her, and picked her up more than once...but she was coaxed back as soon as she turned her head.

Those few years were really crazy.

Later, Guan Baiyu was gone, he didn't want to do anything, and he was not in the mood to help his younger sister. For a long time, regardless of whether she gave her money, she was beaten by her husband's family, but she simply left.

Then... His sister fell in love with another man who was sweet and coaxing, and got married again.

The man's previous wife gave birth to a son for him, and another son after marrying his sister, plus the two daughters brought out from his ex-husband's house after his sister divorced... There are four children in this family, especially lively.

Shi Zhen didn't like the two brothers-in-law, they were the same in essence, they were smooth-tongued, they said more than they did.

Of course, his sister had problems too.

His younger sister is very vain, likes to spend money, and doesn't make any money herself, but she buys all kinds of luxury goods at home.

The main conflict between her and her first husband's family was that they didn't want her to spend money randomly...but she didn't spend money from her husband's family, all the money she spent was from Shi Zhen.

Because she said that she couldn't work with her children at home, and the expenses of the children were too high to support her. At that time, Shi Zhen sent her money every month.

Her husband doesn't have a job, so he coaxes money from her, and her in-laws always ask her for money. It's like this, but her in-laws still despise her for spending money indiscriminately, and how little money she gives out... Shi Zhen is also very upset. angry.

When she found a second man... His second brother-in-law's family originally had some background, and he himself relied on this background to make some money at a young age, but then his backer collapsed, and this man With no way to make money, he became depressed and divorced his wife.

He was very eloquent, and he knew a lot about eating, drinking, and having fun. He stared at his sister and coaxed her, and his sister immediately fell into it. After following this person, the expenses became even greater.

This man is even more keen to pull Shi Zhen's banner and hang around outside, that is, he has not done anything excessive, so Shi Zhen can bear it all the time.

Shi Zhen really couldn't do anything about his own sister, and he didn't like her three young children who knew how to coax money from his uncle.

Fortunately, he was reborn.

In his previous life, he discovered that his sister had problems many years later. At that time, his sister was already an adult and stereotyped. He wanted her to change, but she couldn't.

Even her children... When his sister divorced, he was suffering because of Guan Baiyu's death, and he didn't care about the two daughters brought out by her sister from her husband's house. Later... Later, her sister got married again, consciously Married happily, he wants to teach his children but others refuse to let him.

Now his sister is only 14 years old, and he doesn't believe that she can still look good when he puts people under his nose and disciplines her.

And her consumption concept also needs to be changed.

In his previous life, he made money and was happy to spend it for his family, but he didn't tell his family how he worked so hard to make money.

Her younger sister was the youngest in the family, and she had suffered the least in the past. Seeing that he was rich, she was even more drifting away, and she became like that.

Now... this summer vacation, let his sister work for him.

In short, in this life... He couldn't receive the project money, couldn't pay the wages of the workers below, and couldn't eat or sleep in a hurry, but turned around and heard that his sister spent thousands of dollars to buy a pair of shoes. He didn't want to encounter such a thing again.

It was only the beginning of 2000, and because he had no money, Guan Baiyu ate cabbage and boiled noodles with him every day.

In his last life's will, he left some money for his family, and he also left a few houses of his own to his younger sister, but if his younger sister is still messing around like that, I'm afraid her future will be miserable.

He still remembers his son who raised money with his younger sister before he was diagnosed with cancer, saying that the boy was quite successful. After graduating from university, he became a policeman and could earn 20 yuan a year.

He really thought that this child who was raised by money from a baby to an adult was pretty good, and advised his sister to raise her three children well, but his sister came up with a sentence: "20? It's not enough for me to buy a bag."

Shi Zhen was very angry at that time.

After renting the house, Shi Zhen went home.

Guan Baiyu was still at Xinhua Bookstore, and Shi Xinghuo was not at home—he usually didn't stay at Guan Baiyu's house after work, but went to Guan Jianguo to stay.

Guan Jianguo's mother is very popular in the village. Old ladies often bring their grandchildren to chat with her, and Shi Xinghuo listens to gossip.

Shi Zhen ate something casually, fell down and fell asleep.

At 04:30, Guan Baiyu went home, and when Qian got up, he would come back later.

Shi Zhen usually set up a stall in the town before he got the money back. He was already having dinner when Guan Baiyu came. Talk about the house.

Guan Baiyu knew that Shi Zhen wanted to rent a house to bring his family.

When Shi Zhen first spoke, he felt very uncomfortable.

He hoped that Shi Zhen belonged to him alone.

Shi Zhen might feel uncomfortable about getting married, and he would naturally feel uncomfortable if Shi Zhen's family members were to come.

But Shi Zhen has family members, he knew about this from the very beginning, it is impossible to stop Shi Zhen's family members from coming...

Guan Baiyu felt that he was a little too much and even a little scary. He was actually wishing that his brother had a bad relationship with his family.

He can't think like that anymore!

A man as good as his brother should have loved ones who love him!

Guan Baiyu asked: "Brother, where is the house? Do you want me to clean it up?"

Shi Zhen said: "No, it's empty now, and there's nothing to clean up, but I can store the things I set up a stall there in the future, saving me from moving them back and forth every day."

Guan Baiyu nodded repeatedly.

That night, Shi Zhen's fried skewers were selling very well.

When it's hot, people in the town will go out for shopping at night, and it's easy to spend when they go out.

Some customers are very generous, and they will buy fried skewers worth tens of dollars from Shi Zhen at a time!

In the next few days, Shi Zhen asked Guan Jianguo to buy some building materials one after another.

Guan Jianguo drives a tractor outside, and usually delivers bricks and tiles to people. Knowing the price of these things, he can buy them at a low price.

Shi Zhen bought some miscellaneous things and piled them in the house, and whenever he was free, he would repair them.

He repaired the roof first, and later bought wooden slabs to replace the broken ones upstairs.

Then, he refurbished the house, built an extra stove, built a partition, and whitewashed the walls with lime.

Seeing that there is a lot of wood, Shi Zhen also plans to nail three wooden shelves to divide the attic well. These three wooden shelves will be used to hang clothes for his sisters and sisters.

Shi Zhen has never learned carpentry before, so he can't do too complicated things, but he can still nail a wooden frame.

As he was doing this, the retired teacher who had signed the rental contract with him wandered over from the next door with a small teapot in his hand to watch Shi Zhen work.

Shi Zhen has recently become acquainted with this old man.

This old man is a retired high school mathematics teacher. He is from Anshan Town, but he taught in Changxi City before. His two sons and one daughter also grew up in Changxi City.

After he retired, he lived with his children at first, but because the house was too crowded and uncomfortable, and he had conflicts with his daughter-in-law, he simply ran to live in the old house in Anshan Town.

He has only been here for a few months, and it was he who came to live here that the Lu family thought about renting out the house.

He usually had nothing to do, so he went to the bookstore in the town to read books and so on. Today, seeing Shi Zhen repairing things, he came over to chat with Shi Zhen.

"The young man is really good. He can do everything. I don't know how to do these things." The old man's surname is Fei, and everyone around him calls him Teacher Fei.

"The family is poor and has to do everything. If you do too much, you will be fine." Shi Zhen smiled, driving the nails into the wood accurately with the hammer in his hand.

Teacher Fei took a sip of tea from the small teapot, moved a stool and sat down to chat with Shi Zhen, and asked Shi Zhen why he didn't study, and Shi Zhen told the truth directly.

Teacher Fei sighed: "It's not easy."

Recently, in order to do things here, Shi Zhen didn't go home for lunch at noon, and it's the same today.

He came over at nine o'clock and worked for two hours. Now that he was hungry, he took out a rice ball to eat.

The rice balls are not so delicious when they are cold, but he is not a person who cares about the taste, so he doesn't take it seriously. When he is thirsty, he will directly drink the tap water to drink.

"Hey! Young man, you can't drink the tap water directly! Wait a minute, I have cool boiled water at home, I'll bring you some." Teacher Fei stopped Shi Zhen, took Shi Zhen's cup, went to the next door and poured a cup of cold boiled water for Shi Zhen .

He also gave Shi Zhen a salted duck egg: "It's about to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. My son brought it to me. I can't finish it all by myself. Try it! This duck egg has only been salted for more than ten days, and it's not salty at all." .”

"Thank you." Shi Zhen didn't refuse. In the past few days, he would help Teacher Fei with some things from time to time, so that he wouldn't even be able to eat a duck egg.

Shi Zhen has brought some things here one after another recently. In the afternoon, he will sleep on the bamboo bed he just bought for a while, and then continue to work when he wakes up. Usually, he will work until around four o'clock, when Guan Baiyu comes to him or he goes to pick him up. Bai Yu, the two went home together.

On this day, Shi Zheng had just finished his work and was about to pick up Guan Baiyu when he saw Mr. Fei next door lighting a coal stove at the door.

However, he is not very good at doing this, and has been unable to light briquettes.

Shi Zhen is now a veteran in this field, so he immediately went to help, and lit the briquettes in two or three strokes.

"Thank you, I really can't get this thing, and the gas at home has run out again." The gas he was talking about was liquefied petroleum gas.

"Mr. Fei, your house is out of gas? How about this, you give me your gas tank, and I'll fill it up for you tomorrow." Shi Zhen said immediately.

Liquefied gas tanks are generally large and heavy, and Mr. Fei, an old man, probably couldn't move them.

Even if it can be moved, let him tie the liquefied gas tank to the bicycle, and then push the bicycle to fill the liquefied gas... This is definitely embarrassing for the elderly.

"Will it bother you too much?"

"A little thing." Shi Zhen said.

"Then thank you!" Teacher Fei said gratefully, and went in to get his liquefied gas tank.

Shi Zhen was afraid that he would not be able to carry it, so he immediately followed in to help.

"Oh, I have a bad back, and I can't move things... When my son came here a few days ago, it was still alive, and I didn't expect it to disappear suddenly! My wife used to take care of this, I just remember When the fire is low, pour some hot water and it can be used a few times..." Mr. Fei said, when he was in Changxi City, his wife took care of the family affairs. I'll get someone to refill it.

Now he came to live in Anshan Town, but his wife didn't come here because he had to help his son with his grandson, so he was in a hurry with some things.Shi Zhendao: "In winter, if you run out of air, pour some hot water, it will still work, but in summer it won't work."

In winter, some components in liquefied petroleum gas will be precipitated due to the low temperature and cannot be used. It can be used by pouring some hot water, but there is no such good thing in summer.

Shi Zhen put the liquefied gas tank in the house he rented, so that he can fill it up whenever he is free tomorrow.

As soon as it was put away, Shi Zhen saw Guan Baiyu coming.

"Xiao Yu." Shi Zhen called out with a smile.

"Do you know this kid?" Teacher Fei looked at Shi Zhen, and then at Guan Baiyu.

"He is my younger brother." Shi Zhen said.

Teacher Fei was a little emotional: "You and your brother are both good. He studies very hard, and he will definitely pass the high school entrance exam."

"Thank you for your kind words!"

Shi Zhen chatted with Teacher Fei before and knew that he often went to the bookstore to read books, so he knew that he might know Guan Baiyu.

He is a retired high school teacher, so it would be nice to meet Guan Baiyu... Shi Zhen praised Guan Baiyu in front of Teacher Fei.

Teacher Fei nodded repeatedly. He also thought that Guan Baiyu was a good boy, and the young man in front of him was also a good boy.
