Reborn to Strive

Chapter 118

Throughout the summer vacation, Shi Zhen ran between various construction sites.

When the summer vacation was about to end, Guan Baiyu didn't go to Changxi City anymore, but stayed with him every day, and by the way...doing summer homework.

At this time, Shi Zhen's first factory building was completed, and the second factory building was also started.

The two bosses who asked him to build factories, they opened factories, one is for the production of chemical fiber, and the other is for weaving. The factories are relatively simple and quick to build.

Fang Miyan also worked on Shi Zhen's side for more than a month.

Shi Zhen's food here is pretty good, Fang Miyan eats here every day, her arms look a little thicker, but because she is too dark, she doesn't look fat at all.

However, she is a little familiar with the people on their construction site, but they still don't talk too much.

Shi Daniu and the others just don't have time to talk to her. They have to work after eating in the morning, take a nap after eating at noon, take a rest after sleeping, and work again. They have no free time at all.

Shi Zhen also knew their hard work. When the first factory was built, he gave each of them [-] red envelopes. In private, he even found the two most serious workers and gave them [-] red envelopes each. as a reward.

Shi Zhen didn't pay them much, but it included room and board, and a considerable bonus. Shi Daniu and the others worked very hard.

This day Shi Zhen woke up early in the morning and found that it was raining outside.

On rainy days, most of his construction sites would be closed, and he would be automatically on vacation... Shi Zhen was lying on the bed, not in a hurry to get up.

He lay down for a long time, and when Guan Baiyu came out from the back room, he said: "Xiaoyu, let's go to town today." He had to go and see Shi Dalin and the others.

"Okay." Guan Baiyu said.

Since we are going to the town, we might as well go to the town for breakfast.

They got up early and packed up at six o'clock. They put on their raincoats, rode their bicycles, and went to the town.

They first went to the small shop opened by Zhao Meiyun and Shi Dalin. When they arrived, Zhao Meiyun and Shi Dalin were pulling the shutter door and preparing to open the shop.

Their shop is basically open from six in the morning to nine in the evening. Even if the business is not as good as usual during the summer vacation, they don't take a day off.

Seeing Shi Zhen, Zhao Meiyun immediately asked: "Ah Zhen, have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet." Shi Zhen laughed.

This store has two doors, and sheds are built outside to keep out the rain. Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu stopped the car, locked the car, and then entered the store to help Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun move their things outside. .

Zhao Meiyun said: "I have vermicelli soup, tea eggs, and instant noodles...do you want it?"

"Aunt Zhao, just get us some vermicelli soup. You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go to Xing Xing to buy some egg pancakes, and we'll eat together."

"Hey, if you want egg pancakes, I'll make them for you. You don't need to buy them from Xing Xing." Zhao Meiyun said.

Shi Zhen smiled at her, didn't listen to her, held an umbrella, called Guan Baiyu, and went to find Shi Xingxing together.

Shi Xingxing and Zhao Qiujuan set up a stall in the same place.

Shi Xingxing’s omelette is very simple to make. First scoop a spoonful of batter, pour it on an iron plate, hang it up and cook it into a pancake, then beat an egg on it, and finally brush it with a little sauce, and it’s done.

Such egg pancakes cost [-] cents.

Of course, ham sausage or tenderloin can be added to the omelette, and eggs can also be added, so it will cost extra.

It was still early when Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu passed by, and after greeting Zhao Qiujuan, Shi Zhen said to Shi Xingxing: "Xingxing, prepare five omelets for me, and I want two eggs with tenderloin."

Shi Xingxing quickly started to work, Shi Zhen gave her ten yuan, but she refused to accept it: "It's rare for you to come here, I can't take your money."

"If you don't accept it, then I won't come next time." Shi Zhen said.

Shi Xingxing took the money, but gave Shi Zhen five yuan and added a little extra tenderloin to Shi Zhen.

That is to say, the luxurious omelette with two eggs and tenderloin costs one yuan each.

Shi Zhen took advantage of this, and he gave Guan Baiyu one to eat while it was hot, and went back with five omelets, only to see Shi Ting also came with a schoolbag.

Zhao Meiyun and Shi Dalin were not at home, and Shi Ting didn't want to be alone at home, so she came to the store every day.

One omelet per person was just right, and Zhao Meiyun's vermicelli soup was also brought out at this time.

The vermicelli soup that local people eat, the vermicelli in it is boiled the next day, and soaked until the next day, the kind that makes the vermicelli fat.

Such vermicelli is boiled again, and seasonings such as oil and salt are added. When someone buys it, it is served in a bowl, and sprinkled with green onion mustard and ham sausage... The method of vermicelli soup is very simple.

Because the cost of this food is low, Zhao Meiyun has been preparing it all the time, and people nearby will come to eat it.

As soon as Shi Ting got the vermicelli soup, she began to add vinegar and hot sauce to it, and said to Shi Zhen: "Brother, add a little of these two, it's very delicious."

Shi Zhen smiled, and added some. This hot sauce is locally produced in Changxi City. It is not spicy at all. He has eaten it all his life.

Guan Baiyu only added vinegar. He is not good at eating spicy food at the moment.

After breakfast, Shi Zhen learned about Shi Dalin's business, then looked at Shi Ting: "Tingting, let me take you to buy some clothes."

Shi Ting's development is considered late, but she has grown rapidly recently, and her female characteristics have become clear.

Zhao Meiyun prepared a vest for her, but did not buy underwear for her... There is no way, Zhao Meiyun herself does not wear underwear, only a vest.

As for Zhao Qiujuan, Shi Zhen didn't know much about it. She should have worn it, but it was definitely not the kind that could modify the curves, but it seemed to be able to flatten the chest.

But as a man, it's not easy for him to tell people this kind of thing.

On the contrary, Shi Ting is his own sister, and some things are easier to deal with.

Shi Ting got fatter and taller, and her clothes were tight, so it's not a problem to wear a vest underneath...

Shi Zhen didn't discuss this with Shi Ting either. He just took Shi Ting to the upstairs of the vegetable market and asked Li Ahui, who is Guan Kai's mother, to find some suitable clothes for Shi Ting, from inside to outside. .

Li Ahui divorced Guan Wenguo and remarried, and she became pregnant not long after, and now the child was born. She was holding the child, but when Shi Zhen and the others came, they put the child in the cradle and picked out clothes for Shi Ting.

She looks pretty good, but she is a little fatter. While choosing clothes, she also talked to Shi Zhen and asked about Guanjiacun.

Guan Jianguo was still sailing, while Guan Baiyu's adoptive father, Guan Guangguo...

In his previous life, after Guan Guangguo lost money raising chickens, he stopped raising chickens and started farming again. His family had no money. Later, when Guan Jinjin opened a barber shop, his family was demolished again, and the family became rich.

But this time, probably because Shi Zhen repaid them the money for raising Daguan Baiyu, they gritted their teeth and continued to raise chickens in the days when the chicken couldn't be sold at a high price.

And then... after raising chickens was not profitable and many people stopped raising them, the price of chicken started to rise suddenly in March this year.

Guan Guangguo's family has been very active in raising chickens recently, and even built a shed behind the house to raise chickens.

But Guan Wenguo had nothing to say, he was still sweeping the cement factory.

In the beginning, someone introduced him to a partner, but in the end... If he doesn't like Guan Wenguo, the little grandma thinks that he is very nice, and when he likes Guan Wenguo, she starts to be picky. I feel better.

The cycle goes on and on, and Guan Wenguo is still unable to marry another wife.

Shi Zhen also asked about Li Ahui.

Li Ahui's men rode bicycles back and forth in the village selling toilet paper popsicles and the like, earning a little money.

Because Li Ah Hui sells clothes upstairs in the vegetable market every day, she met many people in the vegetable market. Later, she introduced her husband and asked him to worship a pork seller as a master, and learn how to sell pork from him.

Now Li Ahui's husband has bought a stall and sells pork himself.

From Shi Zhen's point of view, this job was not bad. In the following years, the population of the town continued to increase, and selling such daily necessities as pork could always make money.

In the future, there will be supermarkets and online shopping, and the money earned from selling pork will be less. But to be honest, for the working people at the bottom, changing jobs is nothing.

As long as you are willing to work, in a place with a good economic development like Changxi City... ten or twenty years later, it is still easy to find a job.

Shi Zhen bought two sets of clothes for Shi Ting from inside to outside.

It's not a big brand, and the price is not expensive, but Shi Ting is very happy, especially after changing into new clothes from the inside to the outside... The more she looks in the mirror, the happier she is, and she feels that she is a beautiful big girl!

When she was in a good mood, Shi Ting kept chattering around Shi Zhen.

"You, study hard!" Shi Zhen said.

"Brother, don't worry, I will study hard." Shi Ting promised, patted her chest.

In the village before, her junior high school classmates were all thinking about who to marry after graduation, and some of them even made an agreement with them long ago.

At that time, she was not in the mood to study.

But when she came here, her classmates only wanted to go to high school or technical secondary school, and Shi Zhen also made big cakes for her, so she wanted to continue studying.

But she has no idea about the future.

Shi Zhen asked her: "Tingting, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Shi Ting said without hesitation, "I haven't thought about it."

Shi Zhendao: "Do you want to be a kindergarten teacher? After you graduate from junior high school, you can go to a kindergarten teacher and become a kindergarten teacher in the future. Otherwise, you can go to a medical school and become a nurse in the future."

He got the news that Changxi City had recently built a preschool teacher school and a health school, both of which were technical secondary schools. Shi Ting could apply for the senior high school entrance examination next year.

Shi Ting's personality is very good as a kindergarten teacher. She has a good temper and will not get angry with others. In addition, she was willing to have three children in her previous life. A large part of the reason is that she really likes children.

As for being a nurse, Shi Ting is also perfectly fine, she is very patient.

Such a stable job is also suitable for Shi Ting who has no ambitions.

As for the question of whether you can get a job... There is a shortage of people everywhere now, so there is no need to worry about not being able to find a job after graduation.

"Brother, I want to be a nurse!" Shi Ting was a little excited: "I want to wear that white dress!"

"Okay." Shi Zhen said.

But Shi Ting quickly said again: "No, it's a bit scary to be a nurse and give people injections. I'd better be a kindergarten teacher, and there are winter and summer vacations."

The public kindergartens in Changxi City all have winter and summer vacations.

"It's up to you, it's your grades, it must not be too bad."

Shi Ting nodded seriously.

A few days later, Guan Baiyu and Shi Ting started school one after another.

The business of Zhao Meiyun and Shi Dalin also became hot in an instant.

Now, the best-selling pens in their store are Huaguang's ballpoint pens.

Huaguang's ballpoint pens are very beautiful, some are cheap and some are expensive, children like them very much.

And because their family carries the Huaguang brand, Huaguang has recently advertised on local TV stations, which has increased its popularity. Many people think this is a good brand, so Huaguang's schoolbags and pencil cases are also selling well. .

Huaguang’s schoolbags and pencil cases are of good quality. As for those pens...the refills are imported from abroad, which are not bad. The quality of the pen holders is average, but ballpoint pens are consumables, and few people nowadays buy refills for replacement. ...Everyone uses it, but I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

According to word of mouth, this brand is becoming more and more famous in Changxi City.

Shi Zhen is very busy, so Shi Dalin can't take care of it. Now, Shi Dalin buys everything by himself, and there are many things that he doesn't need to buy. They will send the goods directly to his shop.

Time passed quickly, and it didn't take long before it entered October.

The weather in October has not completely cooled down yet, and Shi Zhen is very hot and still wears short sleeves. At this time, the second factory building he built has been completed.

Shi Zhen builds houses for others, and the price he offers is not high, which is similar to that of others looking for workers, but he builds houses much faster.

He uniformly buys bricks and cement for others, and can earn some money from it.

After the two factories were built, after excluding the salary red envelopes given to Shi Daniu and the others, as well as expenses such as food expenses, the net profit that fell to Shi Zhen's hands added up to [-], although it was a lot of work. I only earned money in a few months, but it was really a lot!

In addition, there are several other construction sites, each of which can earn him at least four or five thousand.

After all, the people who ask him to build a house are all rich people, and if they are good at everything, they can make him more money. Ordinary people buy bricks and tiles to build a rough, paint the walls and move in directly. No matter how capable he is, You can only earn a wage.

After the factory building was completed, Shi Zhen planned to let Shi Daniu and the others go to another construction site.

It was closer to Fang's house, but Shi Zhen didn't know where Fang's house was, so he asked Fang Miyan if he wanted to do it.

Fang Miyan said without hesitation, "Yes!"

Shi Zhen said: "Then you can continue to do it... By the way, do you want to buy a bicycle? It will be more convenient to go back and forth."

Fang Miyan runs around wearing worn-out shoes every day. Before she was walking, half of the plastic slippers on her feet fell off...

Fang Mi's face remained unchanged, and he left barefoot. Shi Zhen looked at him, but felt a little uncomfortable.

Also, the Jiefang shoes that Fang Miyan is wearing now are also very old, and obviously not hers, they are a bit too big, so she tied the shoes with a rope...

A girl with such a rough life, Shi Zhen didn't know what to say.

Fang Miyan said: "I don't need a bicycle, I can run faster than a bicycle."

All right... Shi Zhen didn't continue this topic.

In fact, thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising that Fang Miyan didn't buy a bicycle.

In her family's situation, she bought a bicycle, fearing that it would not fall into her own hands.

Shi Zhendao: "By the way, Daniel and the others will rest for two days before starting work. Can you come to Guanjia Village to cook? Of course, it's fine if you don't come."

"I can." Fang Miyan was afraid that he would lose the job if he didn't go, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Then come here, Guanjia Village is not far from here..." Shi Zhen told her how to get to Guanjia Village, and then said: "When you arrive in Guanjia Village, you can ask others where the sweaters are sent and received. Found me."
