Chapter 59
Chapter 59
Guan Baiyu was brought here from Changxi City by his grandmother, but he never went to Changxi City again and was full of curiosity about Changxi City.
Shi Zhen told him some things about Changxi City, and just as he was talking, the little grandma came.
The little grandma came to collect the money for embroidering sweaters. Shi Zhen took out the account book and did the math, and found that she had embroidered a total of 63 yuan.
This is not much, but the little grandma is keen to gossip everywhere, revealing the mess of her family desperately, and has never worked seriously, so it is normal to be like this.
Shi Zhen took out the money and counted it to the little grandma.
The little grandma took the money, but refused to leave: "Didn't Li Xiangwen also embroider a lot of clothes? Give me hers too."
Shi Zhen frowned when he heard this: "That's her name, I can't give it to you. I gave it to you, what should I do if she asks me for money later?"
"She lived in my family at that time, and she was a member of my family, so the clothes she embroidered should also be counted as my family." The little grandma was confident.
Shi Zhen didn't want to talk nonsense to her either: "No, no, I won't give the money unless she comes to get it herself."
"She's coming, just let her come to me to get the money. If you don't give me the money now, do you want to steal her money? How can you do this!" the little grandma howled dryly.
Shi Zhen didn't bother to talk to her, and when the person who came to collect the money asked about it, he just said the reason.
Everyone who knew the reason: "..." Li Xiangwen was really lucky that she didn't marry Guan Wenguo.
On the second day, Shi Zhen stayed at home, and on this day, the rest of the people came one after another to take the money.
Even Li Xiangwen came. She worked for Shi Zhen for dozens of yuan, and thanked Shi Zhen politely when she took it away.
Women who have money have to consume. It was only at noon that day, and Shi Zhen's popsicles were sold out. He had to ride a tricycle and wade through the water to buy.
Tricycles are not like motorcycles, they will turn off when passing through water, but riding a tricycle in a place with water is really exhausting.
When I get home, I have to oil the car chain and maintain it.
A day passed in the blink of an eye, and when Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu agreed to go to Changxi City, the water on the road was already much less.
In another day or two, it is estimated that the water will be gone, and everyone can do whatever they want.
Early in the morning, Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu went to the town to pick up Shi Ting.
When they arrived, Shi Ting had already dressed up and was waiting, exuding a strong scent of cream from her body.
This kind of cream is currently sold for ten cents per pack. Recently, Zhao Meiyun, Zhao Qiujuan, Shi Ting and the others all use it.
Shi Zhen didn't like the taste very much, but it was obvious that Shi Ting and the others liked it very much.
When Shi Ting saw Shi Zhen, she jumped up happily: "Brother! Brother!"
It was still early, Zhao Qiujuan was still selling rice balls at the vegetable market, but Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun were at home.
They went to bed late at night, and they just got up at this time, and they were eating breakfast.
It's troublesome to cook in the morning. Zhao Meiyun usually cooks more rice the night before, and puts it in the cupboard. In the morning, add water to the cold rice and boil it, and cook it into porridge for the family to eat. It's the same today.
She and Shi Dalin each held a large bowl, eating porridge with a splash, and there were several side dishes on the table, including the peanut pickles left by Zhao Qiujuan, and the fried poached eggs, which looked quite hearty.
Shi Zhen asked Shi Ting: "Tingting, have you eaten?"
Shi Ting said: "I ate it, I ate it a long time ago." Shi Ting got up early in the morning, and couldn't wait for Zhao Meiyun to get up to cook breakfast, so she made a bowl of cold rice, soaked it in boiling water, and filled her stomach.
As a result, she waited for a long time before Shi Zhen came.
"Then let's go." Shi Zhen said.
Just as Shi Zhen finished speaking, a voice suddenly interjected: "Are you going to Changxi City? I'm going too."
It was Zhao Dongjuan who had just come downstairs who spoke.
Back then, when Shi Zhen met Zhao Dongjuan with such a request, he agreed to it.
Zhao Meiyun and Zhao Qiujuan were very kind to him, for their sake, he would not reject Zhao Dongjuan.
But now he is not happy: "You can go by yourself."
There were many similar situations in her previous life. For example, Zhao Qiujuan's child was about to go to school. He took the child to buy school supplies, but Zhao Dongjuan insisted on following her. Then she didn't care about the child. When it was time to pay the bill, she brought a bunch of things with her.
At that time, he wanted to save face and could only pay together.
At that time they went to a stationery store, but Zhao Qiujuan bought a lot of notebooks without changing her face, and then sold them for money after returning...
"You are too partial, a cousin who doesn't know where you come from, you are so kind to him, but you are separated from his family! You live with him every day and don't go home, and now you take him to Changxi Parents haven’t visited Changxi City yet!” Zhao Dongjuan directly fired at Guan Baiyu this time.
Shi Zhen ignored her, and said to Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun, "Dad, Aunt Zhao, let's go first."
Zhao Dongjuan doesn't care about other people's kindness to her, so he naturally doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
Shi Zhen turned around and left.
Zhao Dongjuan was shameless and didn't follow, but turned her head and said to Shi Dalin, "Dad, I went out to inquire, that Guan Baiyu had no money at all before, and he was so poor, it was my brother who came to help him a little bit, I just lived my life, and I don't know how much money I gave him, I heard that I plan to help him study!"
Shi Dalin was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"Dad, brother gave the family's money to outsiders."
Shi Dalin was even more puzzled: "When did your brother use the money from the family?" His son ran out to work before, and the travel expenses were saved by himself.
Zhao Dongjuan's expression froze.
Shi Dalin didn't take Zhao Dongjuan's words to heart.
Guan Baiyu didn't have much money before, so he believed in it.
But when his son first came here, he had to live and eat, so how could he not spend money?Guan Baiyu must have helped his son.
Before his son set up a stall, Guan Baiyu must have helped.
His son was self-made, and he only made money with the help of others, so it's normal for him to share some with others.
What's more, it was his son's money, not his.
His son was only eighteen, and he earned money by himself, and he was given a money-making business. He was already very satisfied, and it didn't make sense to care about how others spent the money.
His son is not a waste of money.
Zhao Dongjuan couldn't understand Shi Dalin, so she could only sit down and eat angrily.
Zhao Meiyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her daughter's troubles with Guan Baiyu are better than troubles with Shi Ting.
Shi Zhen took Guan Baiyu and Shi Ting, boarded the bus, and headed for Changxi City.
When Shi Ting came to Anshan Town before, she took the car with Shi Zhen for a long time. She felt a little uncomfortable when she first sat in the car, but she got used to it later, and she didn't feel any discomfort in the car this time.
But Guan Baiyu... After driving for a long time, Guan Baiyu's expression changed.
"Is it uncomfortable?" Shi Zhen asked him.
Guan Baiyu nodded with an ugly face.
Shi Zhen asked the conductor for a plastic bag and gave it to Guan Baiyu: "You're motion sick, you might vomit, take the bag to be safe...if you want to vomit later, just throw it into the bag."
Guan Baiyu did get motion sickness, his face was ugly, and he couldn't help retching, but fortunately he didn't really vomit.
Shi Zhen was a little worried, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only comfort him softly.
In his previous life, Guan Baiyu also suffered from motion sickness when riding in a car, but it was not so serious... If he knew it would happen, he must have bought motion sickness medicine.
"Do you want to lean on me? It will be more comfortable." Shi Zhen said to Guan Baiyu.
Guan Baiyu glanced at Shi Zhen, nodded and leaned on Shi Zhen.
He is feeling very uncomfortable now, and this discomfort reminds him of what Zhao Dongjuan said before.
He and Shi Zhen are just cousins...
Guan Baiyu leaned on Shi Zhen's shoulder, grabbed Shi Zhen's clothes, closed his eyes, his eyelashes were trembling, and his lips were bloodless.
Shi Zhen didn't know what to do, so he could only look at him motionless.
Shi Ting: "..."
When getting in the car, she took a seat by the window and wanted her brother to sit with her.
In the end, her brother sat with Guan Baiyu!
Forget it, her brother has been taking care of Guan Baiyu and completely forgot about her.
Shi Ting felt a little wronged.
Isn't she the person her brother loves the most now?
But Shi Ting only felt wronged for a short while, and she didn't think about it anymore. Instead, she began to think about all kinds of things that can be bought in Changxi City.
There are so many things she wants!
By the way, the outside scenery is also beautiful, there are bird nests in that tree!I don't know if there are any eggs in it...
Guan Baiyu was groggy all the way, and retched many times, and when he got off the bus, he felt as if he had come back to life.
Guan Baiyu, who came back to life, saw the station in Changxi City and all kinds of cars at a glance.
Changxi City already has an inner-city bus. The bus is very small, not much bigger than a van, and it costs one yuan to get on the bus. It is quite expensive to take a bus at the moment, and because of this, many taxi drivers made a fortune in the 90s.
The station was not far from the city center, and Guan Baiyu was still motion sick, so Shi Zhen didn't take them in the car, but walked and strolled.
Anyway, they are all used to walking on the road, no matter how much they walk on this smooth road, they will not be afraid of getting tired.
There are many shops in Changxi City, Shi Zhen took Guan Baiyu and Shi Ting to the stationery store first, and asked them to choose schoolbags.
Shi Ting chose a fancy pink schoolbag.
Shi Zhen felt that her aesthetics was like a child's... Well, she is not very old, because she didn't keep up with her nutrition before, and now she is still an underdeveloped yellow-haired girl.
As for Guan Baiyu... He said he didn't know how to choose, so he asked Shi Zhen to help him choose, and Shi Zhen chose for him a black backpack that was suitable for adults, would not go wrong, and was resistant to dirt.
Then there are all kinds of stationery.
Shi Ting wanted to buy everything she saw, while Guan Baiyu said that she had no shortage and was not going to buy anything.
In the end, it was Shi Zhen who decided to choose some stationery for Guan Baiyu. When it was Shi Ting's turn, Shi Zhen said directly: "You can buy whatever Bai Yu buys. You can choose the style, but there are not many types."
Shi Ting was a little depressed: "Brother, he bought so little!" Speaking of pens, Guan Baiyu bought a five yuan pen and a bottle of ink, and it was enough!
Obviously there are many good-looking ballpoint pens here!
Shi Zhen said bluntly: "I don't have a lot of money. To send you to junior high school, the borrowing fee will be two thousand, which does not include tuition fees."
Shi Ting was taken aback, and then stopped looking at those beautiful ballpoint pens. In the end, she only chose a red pen that was about the same price as Guan Baiyu's pen.
Shi Zhen led them away from the stationery store, and said to Shi Ting: "Tingting, everything outside costs money, I don't have much money now, you should save it."
Shi Ting nodded, and on the way thereafter, although she was interested in many things, she didn't ask for them.
Shi Zhen bought them a lot of things, such as a folding umbrella for each of them, and also bought them a watch.
In later generations, for products such as watches, you can buy beautiful ones online for a dozen or twenty, but at this time, the cheapest and ugliest watches cost twenty or thirty.
Shi Zhen bought one for each of them so they could check the time.
Coming out of the watch shop, Guan Baiyu said: "Brother, I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat."
It was indeed getting late, so Shi Zhen took them to a nearby shop for fast food.
The dishes in this fast food restaurant are sold in bowls. The most popular is steamed eggs for [-] cents, and a large bowl of rice for [-] cents, which is enough for an adult man.
Shi Zhen ordered a steamed egg for [-] cents, a bowl of cowpea with minced meat for [-] cents, and a sliced chicken for [-] yuan. He also bought three big bowls of rice, which was barely enough for the three of them.
Such a big bowl of rice, Shi Ting couldn't finish it, and she even shared half of it with Shi Zhen.
Guan Baiyu ate very fast today, and said after eating, "Brother, I'm going to the bathroom."
"I'm going too." Shi Ting followed suit.
However, Guan Baiyu disappeared after running out the door. Shi Ting didn't catch him, so he could only come back sullenly.
After Shi Ting finished speaking, Shi Zhen was slightly taken aback, and suddenly thought of something.
When Guan Baiyu came back, Shi Zhen looked at Guan Baiyu who was in a good mood: "What did you buy?"
Guan Baiyu looked at Shi Zhen in surprise, and finally took out a watch from his pants pocket and gave it to Shi Zhen: "Brother, this is for you."
This is a watch with the same style as the watch that Shi Zhen bought for Guan Baiyu before, only the dial color is different.
The dial of Guan Baiyu's watch is white, but the dial of this watch is black.
Guan Baiyu originally wanted to buy a more expensive watch for Shi Zhen, but he was afraid that Shi Zhen would think he was wasting money, so he chose this one.
After all... He also kind of wants Shi Zhen to wear the same watch as him.
Shi Zhen had guessed before that Guan Baiyu might have gone to buy a gift for himself, and it was true.
Guan Baiyu relied on him in his previous life and treated him very well, and it is the same now, thinking about him all the time.
Shi Zhen wanted to say something, when he saw a man with curly hair, a gold chain hanging around his neck, a gold ring on his hand, and a flowered shirt with a cigarette in his mouth. Although he looked good, his forehead was covered with pimples young man walks in from the door.
As soon as this person entered the fast food restaurant, he went straight to the ordering place, and then ordered four meat dishes in one go, including chicken, duck and fish, and finally ordered rice for [-] cents.
A large bowl of rice costs [-] cents, and a small bowl costs [-] cents, which is less than half of the [-] cents.
But this person has ordered so many dishes, and a dime is enough to eat.
The fast food restaurant is not big, this man brought the food and sat at the table next to Shi Zhen and the others.
Noticing that Shi Zhen was looking at him, the man looked back puzzled, only to see Shi Ting staring greedily at the dishes in front of him, and immediately showed a smile that he thought was chic, and said to Shi Ting: "Little sister, Do you want to eat? If you want to eat, you can come and eat some!"
Shi Zhen: "..."
Unexpectedly, his friend who was very stable in his impression and always full of vicissitudes, turned out to be like this when he was young.
It was... eye-opening.
However, his friend himself said that when he was young, he was very arrogant, but after suffering a lot, he changed his temper.
Now... This person's temperament has obviously not changed.
