Reborn to Strive

Why did Shi Zhen come back suddenly? The whole family was very curious.

After glancing at Zhao Dongjuan, Shi Zhen asked his father, "Dad, have you read the letter I sent back earlier?"

His father is illiterate, but his sister can read letters to him.

Shi Dalin immediately said: "Look, you said that you are doing well outside, and you can earn a lot of money when you find a job."

When Shi Dalin said "I can earn a lot of money", Zhao Meiyun and Zhao Qiujuan were very happy, but Zhao Dongjuan rolled her eyes beside her.

Shi Zhendao: "Dad, the outside is completely different from ours now. When I come back this time, I want you to live outside with me."

"Going to live outside?" Shi Dalin was taken aback, "What about the land at home?"

Shi Dalin had lived in the village all his life, and he had only been to the county seat once. When his son asked him to go outside, he felt his head was hit and he was dizzy.

"The land at home can be planted by others." Shi Zhen said.

"But……"

"Dad, I'm too busy doing business outside, and I need your help."

Shi Zhen knew that although his father couldn't speak, he loved him very much.

He said that the outside world is so nice, and his dad might not be willing to go out. He said he wanted his dad to help, and his dad might be willing to go out.

"You came back just because you wanted your parents to go out and work for you! What a good idea." Zhao Dongjuan was annoyed.

"Dongjuan." Zhao Meiyun whispered.

Zhao Dongjuan curled her lips in disdain.

Shi Zhen didn't take her words seriously, and said to his father: "Dad, I want you to go out to help me when I come back, and I will take my sister out too. If other people in the family are willing to go out with me, they can follow. does not matter."

Shi Zhen knew very well that as long as he talked to his father, his stepmother would definitely follow him out.

His eldest sister doesn't have to worry, his eldest sister has no opinion, whether it's his father's words, his stepmother's words, or his words, his eldest sister will listen to them.

If Zhao Dongjuan doesn't want to go...that's the best, of course, there is a high probability that Zhao Dongjuan will follow.

Zhao Dongjuan is actually the smartest of the three sisters.

Shi Dashan struggled: "Your sister still has to study..."

"I just want her to follow me to study outside." Shi Zhen said.

When he was studying, he didn't pay attention at all, but his grades were in the class, and his ranking was also at the top.

Where is his sister?

At this moment, his younger sister has not seen the colorful world outside, and there is nothing interesting in the countryside. She is very willing to study. When she was in elementary school, the first thing she did when she came home every day was to finish her homework. When she entered junior high school, she was very serious about her homework , as long as the excess is not under done.

Shi Zhen, who never did homework when he was studying, was very helpless when he saw that she had worked so hard and failed to get good grades in the exam.

Of course, poor grades are nothing. The most important thing is that he doesn't want his sister to be like in her previous life, who knows nothing but spends money. Every time she finds a man, she still relies on her for food.

She actually has merits, so Shi Zhen wanted to take her out to see if she could become an art student or something.

By the way, change the concept of consumption and love.

Children...should be easier to teach?

But at this moment, his sister is not at home, but is studying in junior high school.

The junior high school was too far away from their village, and the children in the village lived in the school and went home once a week.

When he was at home, he usually went to see his sister once on Wednesday and brought some food to her, but when he was not here, no one would visit her.

His father never cared about these things, and the stepmother was separated by a layer.

"Shi Ting's grades are the same, right?" Zhao Dongjuan said.

Shi Dalin also said: "Yes...would it be too troublesome?"

Shi Zhen didn't want to talk about this, so he continued to talk about his difficulties: "Dad, I don't get up until four o'clock every day outside, and I don't go to bed until after ten o'clock in the evening. I am really tired...you can help me."

Shi Zhen never complained before, and Shi Dalin was very distressed when he heard this: "Why do you make yourself so tired? You are not made of iron... If I can do those jobs, let me do it... just go out, The one who eats and drinks Lazard..."

"Dad, although I'm a little tired outside, I can earn 20 yuan a day." Shi Zhen didn't disclose his real income so as not to scare his father.

Shi Dalin was stunned: "20 yuan a day?!"

It's 20 yuan, not two yuan?

They grow shiitake mushrooms in the village, and they only earn a few hundred yuan throughout the year. Shi Zhen earns twenty a day, and six hundred a month!

This is too profitable!

Now Shi Dalin can't even think about his family's land. He has been working at home for a year, but he can't earn what Shi Zhen earns in a month.

And his son is so busy, he will definitely go to help: "I'll go with you."

Shi Zhen knew this would happen a long time ago, so he smiled.

"Dad, you don't know anything about the outside world, why do you want to go? What if you can't earn so much in the future? And you don't even know what brother is doing outside..." Zhao Dongjuan yelled.

Seeing this, Shi Zhen looked at Zhao Dongjuan: "If you don't want to go, you can stay at home, the food at home is enough for you."

Zhao Dongjuan shut her mouth and looked at Shi Zhen dissatisfied.

After Zhao Meiyun divorced, Zhao Qiujuan and Zhao Dongjuan took her last name.

After Shi Dalin married Zhao Meiyun, he didn't let the two stepdaughters change their surnames, but they did change their titles. Both Zhao Qiujuan and Zhao Dongjuan called Shi Dalin "Dad".

Others don't know what Shi Dalin thinks in his heart. On the surface, he treats his two stepdaughters no differently from his own youngest daughter.

"Ah Zhen, the meal is ready." Zhao Qiujuan brought a bowl of gnocchi to Shi Zhen.

This is made by adding flour and water to make a batter, pouring the batter into the water and cooking it. An egg and some pickles are added to the noodles.

This is a good thing that they can't usually eat in their house.

Shi Zhen started to eat with chopsticks, Zhao Dongjuan saw it, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times with envy.

When Shi Zhen was eating, Shi Dalin asked about Shi Xinghuo.

Shi Zhendao: "He has also earned some money in the past few months. After all, I didn't let him come with him, but I brought back the money he earned in the past three months."

The money Shi Xinghuo made was all for him, and now he has saved over a thousand.

Before he came back, he asked Shi Xinghuo what to do with the money. Shi Xinghuo said he would give the money to his parents, and Shi Zhen brought the money back.

Tomorrow he will go to his uncle's house to give money.

Shi Zhen's uncle's family had three sons and a daughter, and Shi Xinghuo was the eldest.

Their family members are all nice, and Shi Zhen had always had a good relationship with them in his previous life.

It's just that in their village, people who are older or the same age as him, such as his cousins, have a problem-because they haven't read any books, they can't stand alone.

This reading refers to the most basic, elementary and junior high school education!

Most of the people he took away from the village at the beginning couldn't even read pinyin, and they couldn't read all the characters. They asked them to help keep an account, and they could make a lot of typos.

Later, I used a computer and asked them to make a form, but they absolutely couldn't do it.

So these people, after working hard with him, can basically get rich, but it is difficult to expand their business.

But they are already very satisfied.

In fact, if he hadn't met Guan Baiyu, if Guan Baiyu hadn't loved learning, he might have been similar to them.

When he was young, the teachers in their school didn't learn pinyin well, how could he learn it?

Shi Zhen's bed was originally placed in the dining room, next to the stove, these days when he was not around, the family put it away.

After Shi Zhen ate, he went to the back yard to wash his body with well water. When he returned to the house, his father had already remade his bed and was bending over to wipe the bed boards for him.

Shi Zhen quickly grabbed the rag and started to wipe it himself.

His father's life in the past 40 years was really hard. No matter what happens to him in the future, he must let his father live better.

Shi Zhen walked all the way for two days, didn't have a good rest, lay down and fell asleep, the next day he was woken up by rustling noises, and only when he opened his eyes did he see Zhao Meiyun cooking lightly.

Shi Zhen slowed down, got up from the bed, and asked, "Aunt Zhao, what's for breakfast?"

Zhao Meiyun smiled at Shi Zhen: "I cooked porridge, and your father asked me to steam the Chinese New Year's salted bacon on it."

Shi Zhen heard the words: "I brought some food this time, I'll go and get it out."

When he came back this time, he brought some things to share with the villagers, and Shi Xinghuo also asked him to bring some things back.

Shi Zhen opened his snakeskin bag, first took out a bag of fried peanuts mixed with salt, and put it on a plate at home.

No one grows peanuts on their side of the mountain. He has never eaten peanuts a few times since he was a child. He happened to buy some wholesale before he came here, so he brought a lot of them, but most of them were raw, not many fried.

In addition, he also brought a lot of dried salted fish, which they didn't have on the mountain, but it was easy to preserve and the price was not expensive, and it was suitable for giving to the villagers.

In addition, there are sweets and snacks, which the children in the village should like.

What Shi Zhen brought home were all normal things, but Shi Xinghuo was different.

Among the things he asked Shi Zhen to bring home to his parents was a large cup of lard.

Shi Xinghuo bought a large enamel cup, boiled a cup full of lard and put it in, then wrapped it in a plastic bag and gave it to his family... In fact, it was quite practical.

It's really not easy to get lard on their mountain.

As soon as Shi Zheng took out his things, he saw his uncle rushing over.

As soon as his uncle Shi Dashan came in, he asked, "Ah Zhen, you're back? Where's Xinghuo?"

Shi Zhendao: "Uncle, it's troublesome to come back, so I let brother Xinghuo continue to work there, but brother Xinghuo asked me to bring you something."

"It's okay for him to work outside alone?" Shi Dashan was a little worried about his eldest son.

Shi Zhendao: "No problem, brother Xinghuo can do things like dredging mud and river channels hired by small workers."

"That's right, he can do all these jobs! Ah Zhen, I'm so sorry for you, I want you to take him with you all the time." Shi Dashan said.

"It's okay, brother Xinghuo is very obedient." Shi Zhen said.

"Oh, that's all he has to offer."

Just as he was talking, Shi Zhen had already taken out the lard that Shi Xinghuo had brought with him from his bag: "Uncle, brother Xinghuo asked me to bring this lard for you, and I also brought back some peanuts and salted fish." , you take some back and eat."

Shi Zhen swiftly packed out a bag of salted fish and a bag of peanuts for his uncle.

"I've already troubled you to bring Xinghuo to work, how can I take your things, you can keep these and eat slowly." Shi Dashan said.

Shi Zhendao: "Uncle, take it. By the way, Xinghuo asked me to give you his salary for the past few months...here is the money."

As Shi Zhen said, he took out a roll of money and gave it to Shi Dashan.

The roll of money was not thick, but Shi Dashan was stunned when he saw it.

This is a hundred-dollar bill, or several!

"This money, this..." Shi Dashan felt that the money was hot, "Ah Zhen, Xinghuo didn't do anything bad, did he?"

"Uncle, you are thinking too much," Shi Zhen couldn't laugh or cry, "This is all earned by Xinghuo's small labor."

Shi Dashan opened his mouth: "Why are there so many? How long has it been..."

"Xinghuo works outside and earns about ten yuan a day on average," Shi Zhen said.

"He earns ten yuan a day, which is not that much..." Shi Dashan counted and found that there was one thousand in it. He thought of something, and said, "Ah Zhen, as I said before, the money he earns will be given to you." Half, did you not take it?"

"Uncle, I earn more than him, so I won't take his." Shi Zhen said.

"Then what about him to eat and drink? You can't let him eat and drink your food!" Shi Dashan was very disturbed. His son knew that without Shi Zhen, his son would probably have to beg for food when he went outside.

"I asked him to help me with the work," Shi Zhen said, "Uncle, I'm not someone who is willing to suffer, this money belongs to Xinghuo, you take it."

Shi Dashan finally left in a daze.

Shi Zhen was very grateful to his uncle in his previous life.

When Shi Xinghuo passed away, his uncle didn't blame him, and even lent him part of the compensation given by that man.

Without this money, it would have been difficult for him to make a fortune in his previous life.

Shi Dashan was called by Shi Dalin. Seeing that his son had given his brother 1000 yuan, Shi Dalin was in a daze: "Ah Zhen, can Xinghuo earn so much?"

"Dad, Xinghuo has great strength and works hard." Shi Zhen said.

"That's true." Shi Dalin thought of his stupid nephew who knew how to work, and thought deeply.

But no matter what... Shi Xinghuo can earn a thousand dollars in a few months, and if he goes out, he won't lose money no matter what.

Shi Dalin was a little apprehensive at first, but now he feels at ease.

Just talking, breakfast is ready.

Of course Zhao Meiyun's porridge is not white rice porridge, but multigrain porridge, a food that Shi Zhen dislikes very much.

If multigrain porridge can be boiled as soft as canned eight-treasure porridge, Shi Zhen would like to eat it, but they don't have time to cook it for too long because they cook it at home.

The multigrain porridge that has not been boiled long enough, and the throat is scratched after eating grains, how can white rice porridge be delicious?

But no matter how unpalatable the multigrain porridge was, it was better than letting him eat potatoes.

As soon as Shi Zhensheng finished his porridge and sat down, Zhao Meiyun brought out the steamed bacon and placed it in front of him.

There are four children in this family, and Shi Zhende admits that he is the one who is valued the most.

After all, he is Shi Dalin's only son.

Zhao Qiujuan understood this very well and took it for granted, but Zhao Dongjuan was different, she was always jealous.

For example, at this moment, Zhao Dongjuan gave Shi Zhen a dissatisfied look.

Shi Zhen was speechless——Why is Zhao Dongjuan dissatisfied?

If their whole family is from the city, and Zhao Meiyun still has a job like Shi Dalin, then it is normal for Zhao Dongjuan to be dissatisfied with this kind of differential treatment.

But their home is in the country, even in the mountains.

In the early years, his father basically did all the work in the field, Zhao Meiyun was the most helper, but when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, his strength surpassed Zhao Meiyun, and all the helpers were replaced by him.

What about Zhao Qiujuan and Zhao Dongjuan?They definitely have to do the work, but the work is also light.

Usually, he and his father would pick out water for the house and water the fields, and they would never let women do these things.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Dongjuan wants to be treated the same as him... How is that possible!

It is even impossible for Zhao Dongjuan to get the same treatment as his own sister.

There is a huge difference between being related and not being related.

If Zhao Dongjuan had the same father and mother as him, even if she was annoying, Shi Zhen would not hate her.

Although the bacon was placed in front of Shi Zhen, Shi Zhen was not a person who ate alone since he was a child, and never monopolized it.

Today he is even less interested in this bacon.

The bacon for the Chinese New Year has been kept until now, and the taste has changed. How can the peanuts brought back be delicious?

Shi Zhen loves to eat peanuts, and so do everyone else.

While they were eating, other people from the village came over one after another and asked Shi Zhen what was going on outside.

Shi Zhen talked about some things that happened to him.

"Shi Zhen, why didn't you go to a big city, and went to a small place?" Someone was puzzled.

Shi Zhen said nonsense: "The big cities are too big, I don't even know what to do there."

Immediately someone nearby helped to speak: "Yes! What should I do if I get lost in a big city?"

Everyone talked to each other, talked a lot, and many people were tempted and wanted to go out to work.

Shi Zhendao: "Going to work outside does earn a lot, but it also costs a lot, and renting a house costs money. I was able to settle down outside this time. In fact, I found a relative from my mother's side. Without him, I wouldn't be able to make money so quickly."

Shi Zhen is willing to take the villagers out to work, but now is not the time.

Today he does not have this ability.

Shi Zhen told the people in front of him that he made money by selling food and running a small business outside. The place where he stayed was still a small town, and it was not easy to find a job... Most people in the village gave up their thoughts.

The remaining people who didn't give up... Shi Zhen didn't mind taking them out, but he didn't dare to promise a job.

After chatting with these people, he distributed the peanuts and dried salted fish he had brought, and the whole morning passed. After lunch, Shi Zhen said hello to his father, and planned to go to junior high school to see his sister.

There were still some fried peanuts, Shi Zhenquan brought them, and some snacks, such as bottled sweet milk.

His sister's junior high school was about two hours away from their village. Shi Zhen walked around and arrived there in about two hours.

The teaching building is a two-story building with square concrete walls. There is a fence made of bamboo at the front and back of the house, which keeps the chickens raised by nearby farms out.

The fence in front is surrounded by an open space, which is also the playground of the school, while the fence in the back is surrounded by a vegetable field.

It was planted by school teachers, mainly for their own food. Occasionally, there was a lot, and they were cooked for the children in the school.

There are no guards in this school, and even few teachers. There is only one class for each grade.

When Shi Zhen arrived, the students were in class. He found his sister's class, and saw his sister sitting in the middle of the classroom, looking blankly at the teacher.

He almost didn't recognize his sister.

His little sister who is familiar with all kinds of skin care products and cosmetics, basically has all kinds of beauty instruments, and goes to have a medical beauty treatment from time to time, even if she is in her forties, she doesn't look like her younger sister in her thirty skinny.

But even if she is black and thin, she is still the prettiest in the class.

Shi Zhen took a look at the people around her... In this class, some girls came to class with their children in their arms.

This is not uncommon on their side.

The adults are busy, and the elderly can't manage too many children. As parents, they will let the older children take care of the younger ones.

When the older child is going to school, the younger child is really unattended, so the older child will take the younger children to school and attend classes with them.

Yes, they, generally responsible for taking care of the children, are women, and men are generally required to do the work in the fields.

Their ancestors have lived like this for generations, until people's physical strength becomes less and less important, everything will change quietly.

Shi Zhen stood at the door of the classroom for a while, and the students inside saw him and turned to look at him, waiting for his sister to turn around...

The teenage girl jumped up all of a sudden: "Brother!"

The teacher was not angry when he saw it, and said in non-standard Mandarin: "Shi Ting, get out quickly, you guys go far away!"

Then, Shi Zhen saw his sister running out of the classroom.
