Reborn to Strive

Guan Baiyu's school closes at noon on Friday, so the school doesn't care about meals at noon that day.

The previous few times, Guan Baiyu was unprepared, and went home hungry, and only ate when he got home.

But when he came back, it was often past one o'clock, two hours later than their usual meal time.

Shi Zhen told him to buy something to eat in Changxi City, and then go home after eating.

Thinking that the things at the station were too expensive, when Guan Baiyu went to the cafeteria for breakfast this morning, he simply bought an extra fried rice with pickles, put it in a plastic bag, and ate it when he left the school at noon.

The dishes that were not sold out at school the day before will be sold the next morning. The rice that was not sold out the day before will also be fried into egg fried rice or pickled vegetable fried rice. There are more eggs in the egg fried rice, and some peas and carrots will also be added. What, a bowl of four cents, fried rice with pickled vegetables is only twenty cents a bowl.

There is only a little pickle in pickled vegetable fried rice, but Guan Baiyu likes it very much because it is cheap to fight hunger.

In addition, noodles with soy sauce are also sold for [-] cents, and the cheapest one is of course porridge for [-] cents.

Some people in their school are from poor families. They often buy two servings of fried rice with pickled vegetables in the morning and save one for lunch. Some people even bring vegetables from home instead of buying vegetables at school.

When the school just started, some students kept eating the vegetables brought at home, and they were reluctant to throw away the dishes when they were hot, and they ended up eating bad stomachs.

Later, the principal personally advised everyone on the school radio that the dishes brought to school must be finished on Monday and cannot be left until Tuesday.

There are also some girls who have small appetites and their families are not rich, so they just buy a portion of vegetarian dishes and share a portion of rice with each other. In this way, they only need two or three cents for a meal.

If there is no Shi Zhen, if he is still admitted to the No. [-] Middle School... Guan Baiyu thinks that he should apply for the poverty subsidy, and then eat like this.

Now...he eats fried rice with pickles in the morning, and occasionally spends [-] cents to add a fried egg to himself.

When Shi Zhen took Guan Baiyu home, Shi Xingchao had already had lunch.

When they make breakfast in the morning, they usually cook more. Shi Xingchao eats the porridge or rice left over from the morning at noon. He will eat a quarter of it.

Occasionally it rains and Zhao Qiujuan doesn't come over. He cuts some green onions, puts in soy sauce and lard, and makes a bowl of soup with boiling water, which can make up for a meal.

As far as Shi Zhen knows, his stinginess with food didn't get better until he had a son. He was more willing to give up his son, but once his son was not at home, he and his wife would spend a few cents on the Internet. You can have a meal with a bag of pickled mustard soup.

Because of their performance, because these two people are in charge of the property of the entire community, and they often work as security guards and cleaners...

Shi Xingchao's son always thought that his parents were poor, and that it was not easy for them to support him, so he studied hard and wanted to earn money to repay his parents.

After the child went to college, he didn't ask his parents for living expenses anymore. As a result...

His parents suddenly took out more than 1000 million.

Shi Zhen sympathized with the child.

At noon today, Zhao Qiujuan brought over stewed pork knuckles with soybeans.

Shi Dalin gave Zhao Qiujuan 200 yuan every month to buy vegetables.This is already a month's wages paid to workers in some factories with poor efficiency. Now the food in Shi's family is quite good.

Because Zhao Meiyun has a broken leg and always eats pig's feet.

Shi Zhen took two pieces of pig's trotters for Guan Baiyu, added some soybeans to them, and asked Guan Baiyu to eat them. He also bought a chicken, asked him to kill it, and put the chicken in a pot to stew.

After finishing his work, he checked the time and it was past two o'clock in the afternoon, so Shi Zhen decided to go to Wang's house to have a look.

"Brother, can I go?" Guan Baiyu asked.

"Of course," Shi Zhen said, "but there's nothing fun over there."

"I'll just take a look." Guan Baiyu wanted to know what Shi Zhen's place was like.

Shi Zhen agreed, and drove Guan Baiyu to Wang's house in a tractor.

When they arrived, the people on the construction site had just had a snack.

Shi Zhen had told the Wang family before that he had something to leave for a while, and he didn't need to prepare snacks for himself, and he didn't go to eat after he arrived, but took Guan Baiyu to see the house that hadn't been built yet.

The masons were building a big house, and Mr. Wang's chubby son was next to him, leading a group of children who were about his age, building walls with red bricks and building a small house.

The little fat man even took sheets from home and covered the two walls as a roof.

His family members are really willing to let him spoil things.

The children were short, and the walls they built were also low, so they would most likely hurt their feet when they collapsed. In addition, the parents of these children were also watching, so Shi Zhen didn't need to worry.

That's right... As soon as Shi Zhen arrived, the Wang family's little fat man rushed out and said to him, "Brother, show us some martial arts again, okay?"

Shi Zhen: "..."

This little chubby Wang family should actually go to kindergarten...but because the kindergarten is too close to his home, he always sneaks home when he is in high school, and then wanders around Shi Zhen.

"Martial arts?" Guan Baiyu was a little curious.

His brother taught Qian Qi some exercises before, and occasionally he would take him to practice... But martial arts... His brother really knows it?

Shi Zhen suddenly remembered that Guan Baiyu liked to watch him throw bricks in his previous life.

"It's not martial arts, it's just playing with bricks." Shi Zhen took a brick and played catch.

No matter how he threw the brick, he could finally catch it.

Later, he added a brick, and there were even more tricks he could play.

Guan Baiyu didn't expect Shi Zhen to have such a trick, he was dumbfounded, and the group of children kept "wow".

Shi Zhen's mood improved as he was playing, and in a blink of an eye, seeing Guan Baiyu looking at him intently, he couldn't help but laugh.

Guan Baiyu's face suddenly turned red.

Shi Zhen noticed Guan Baiyu's expression and felt that something was wrong. He stopped and grabbed the two bricks in his hands. Instead of looking at Guan Baiyu, he said to the children: "Throwing bricks is dangerous, you can't play with them. do you know?"

"Understood..." The chubby Wang family was a little disappointed.

Shi Zhen said again: "If you want to play, you can throw bouncy balls."

Recently, there is a new kind of toy in the commissary, which is fifty cents a bouncy ball the size of a ping-pong ball, and Fatty Wang has several of them.

This kind of ball will bounce up after being thrown on the ground, it is soft, and it will not hurt people if it hits them. No matter how they throw it, they will be fine.

After hearing what Shi Zhen said, the little fat man took his little friends to play bouncy balls. If the bouncy balls were not enough, he threw glass balls.

The thumb-sized glass balls were harmless if they threw them like this. At most, they would smash the balls, and Shi Zhen didn't care.

He adjusted his mood and walked towards Guan Baiyu, and asked with a smile, "Am I good?"

Guan Baiyu's eyes lit up: "Amazing!"

His brother looked like that just now, full of power!

And...his brother used to give people a very quiet feeling, but just now, Guan Baiyu felt that he seemed very happy, and his smile was very flamboyant.

He likes the way his brother is full of energy.

At that moment, he was so excited... his heart beat faster!

Guan Baiyu was full of admiration, and said again: "Brother, you are really amazing!" Seeing him like this, Shi Zhen felt relieved.

Guan Baiyu's appearance before was a bit like the beginning of love... Fortunately, it was not.

The kid just adores him.

After Shi Zhen competed with Master Zhang in building the wall, Master Zhang settled down.

Master Zhang is safe, let alone the others.

Now that Shi Zhen brought his younger brother over, everyone smiled and greeted Guan Baiyu.

Seeing this, Shi Zhen immediately introduced Guan Baiyu to them, focusing on the fact that Guan Baiyu was a student in the experimental class of No. [-] Middle School.

Everyone couldn't help but praise again, but Guan Baiyu was a little embarrassed.

Shi Zhen went out for a trip today, and after he came back, he started to build some walls. Of course, when building the walls, he couldn't help but play tricks again.

Do Xiaopangdun and Guan Baiyu like to watch it?

When Shi Zhen was working, Guan Baiyu was watching from the side, his eyes sparkling.

His brother was very serious when he was building the wall, and his movements were very skillful. Although he changed into dirty clothes because of the work, but for some reason, he just felt... very handsome!

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the others left work one after another, and Shi Zhen took Guan Baiyu back to their residence.

As soon as he got home, Shi Zhen heard Shi Xingchao talking about Shi Xinghuo: "Brother, can you save some money, you go out for a stroll, and you even bring soda... You spend so much money every day, you don't feel bad Is it?"

Shi Xinghuo was at a loss: "Why do you have to feel uncomfortable?"

"Brother, you earn over four hundred yuan a month, and your own food expenses cost 100 yuan, and even the odds and ends cost you a hundred yuan... You are too good at spending!" Shi Xingchao said with a look of hatred looking at Shi Xinghuo.

Shi Xinghuo was even more at a loss.

Seeing this, Shi Zhen asked, "What's wrong?"

Shi Xingchao immediately said: "Ah Zhen, my brother spends too much money recently, he spends three or four yuan every day!"

Shi Zhen also knew that Shi Xinghuo spent three or four yuan every day. After all, Shi Xinghuo paid him his salary, and he gave Shi Xinghuo his pocket money.

But he didn't pay much attention.

Shi Xinghuo is also an adult, and now he goes out to work with the people from the waterworks. If his colleagues buy something to eat, it's not good for him not to buy it.

Seeing that the day when Shi Xinghuo had an accident in his previous life was approaching, Shi Zhen managed him loosely.

Moreover, although he doesn't like to spend money himself, he has money in his hands after all. Shi Xinghuo spends a few dollars a day, which is nothing to him, and he will not stop him.

"He buys food, right? It's nothing." Shi Zhen said.

"Where do you spend so much on food! He's already full for three meals a day, yet he still needs to spend three or four yuan. He... the big boss doesn't spend that much!"

Shi Zhen: "..." The big boss doesn't spend three or four yuan every day.

Every time Shi Xinghuo asks him for money, he gives him five yuan. Sometimes Shi Xinghuo asks him again the next day, and sometimes two days later. Generally speaking, Shi Xinghuo only spends about 100 yuan a month. You can save more than 200.

Shi Zhen asked Shi Xinghuo: "What did you buy?"

Shi Xinghuo glanced at Shi Zhen, and began to count the things he bought recently: "Watermelon, soda, sesame seed cakes, black fish noodles..."

It's all food... Shi Zhen asked: "Is it a treat?" Is it an invitation between colleagues?

Shi Xinghuo nodded.

Shi Xingchao immediately exploded: "Why are you asking others to do so well! Someone else is cheating you! Brother, you don't want to marry a wife anymore? If you want to marry a wife, you can't spend money recklessly, you must save it!"

Shi Xingchao has no objection to his brother buying snacks. His brother used to buy popsicles from Shi Zhen. He would ask for a taste at first, but after trying them all, he didn't ask his brother for them. After eating, everyone watched his brother eat.

It's just...he thought that his brother only spent a few cents on food at Shi Zhen's place, and at most fifty cents a day, but he didn't expect to chat today...to find out that his brother spent so much!

Does this look like life!

"Okay, Brother Xingchao, don't be angry...Brother Xinghuo, how about this, you don't smoke anyway, just buy some snacks every day... I will give you two yuan a day from now on, how about taking pocket change?" Shi Zhen said.

At this time, two dollars can buy a lot of things, at least some snacks are enough.

Recently, Shi Xinghuo followed his colleagues to read water meters everywhere.

Shi Zhen had seen the man he was following, that man obviously had a good family background, so he didn't like to do dirty work, but he didn't seem like he would bully Shi Xinghuo,

Before that, Shi Xinghuo brought back the zongzi he gave him.

Maybe it's because people's consumption is high, and after treating each other, Shi Xinghuo has more money.

"How can I spend two yuan a day!" Shi Xingchao didn't think it would cost so much.

"Brother Xingchao, there are some children in the town who have two yuan a day in pocket money." Shi Xingchao shut himself up.

Shi Xinghuo has no objection to the daily allowance of two yuan.

"Okay, let's go eat!" Shi Zhen said.

Speaking of eating, Shi Xingchao said again: "Ah Zhen, you actually bought chickens again, and you even bought old hens... Aunt Xiumei's chickens are much cheaper, why don't you buy them? Before Aunt Xiumei asked you if you wanted dead chickens, you didn't want them either. ..."

Shi Zhen: "..." Breeding white chickens are not as tasty as old hens!

As for the dead chicken...he's really not interested.

Shi Zhen changed the subject: "Brother Xingchao, I'm going to take a shower, and we'll have dinner after the shower!"

Shi Xingchao stopped talking.

But Shi Zhen couldn't take a bath, he walked to the door and saw Liang Qinxuan.

Liang Qinxuan was very happy to see Shi Zhen: "You are Guan Baiyu's brother! Is Guan Baiyu here?"

"Yes." Shi Zhen.

Liang Qinxuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to a middle-aged man standing not far away: "Cousin, my classmate's home is here! You go back first! Come pick me up tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, he rushed into the room and said to Guan Baiyu: "Bai Yu! It's so dangerous! It's really dangerous! I almost got into a big trouble!"

"What's wrong?" Guan Baiyu asked.

Liang Qinxuan immediately said: "That woman gave birth prematurely! I finished my class with the teacher, and when I got home, I saw that woman was there, but my father was not there. I was afraid that she would frame me, so I ran out without even entering the door. I played around outside When I went back, there was no one at home. I only found out that the woman had a premature birth when I asked. When I arrived at the hospital, the woman had already been sent for a caesarean section. Chen Shaojin also said that my grandma caused her to give birth prematurely... Fortunately, I was not at home. Otherwise, their mother and son will definitely frame me!"

Liang Qinxuan has been talked too much by Guan Baiyu recently, so he is a bit of a shadow of a snake, and he is afraid of being framed every day.

This time his grandma was framed, crying and saying that she had done nothing, but his father didn't quite believe it, which made him feel even colder.

What hurt him the most was something else.

At that time he wanted to take grandma away, but his grandma kept saying that she had done nothing, but at the same time, she was still thinking about the child in that woman's womb, and even kept saying that the woman was vicious and couldn't take care of the child well. She wants to take it.

His father didn't notice him at all, his grandma was all eyes on him, and only the child.

He felt excluded, and couldn't stay any longer, so he simply found his cousin who drove in his father's company and sent him to Guan Baiyu.

Liang Qinxuan babbled, his eyes were red as he spoke, and he looked like he was about to cry.

But he didn't cry.

He noticed... what the house in front of him looked like.

Liang Qinxuan had never lived in such a dilapidated house in his life.

In this small room, there is a door-paneled... common shop?The pillows above are made of cloth rolled with straw. There are three in total. Three people are going to sleep here?

And just next to Tongpu is a table for eating, and next to it is a place for cooking.

The place is small and crowded, and the ground is still dirt!

"Guan Baiyu, is this your house?" Liang Qinxuan asked in a low voice. He felt that the house was small when he was outside, but he didn't expect it to be like this inside.

"Yes." Guan Baiyu's expression was as usual, he felt that his home was fine.

Liang Qinxuan looked at the house again, feeling embarrassed to complain to Guan Baiyu about what happened to him.

Although the things he experienced were a bit sad, but look at the place where Guan Baiyu lives...he has already lived a much better life than Guan Baiyu.

Liang Qinxuan escaped from the emotion of being abandoned by his relatives.

He thought of something more realistic - he let his cousin go because he wanted to sleep with Guan Baiyu today.

Now...he can't sleep in this place!

But his cousin...has gone.
