Reborn to Strive

Chapter 129

People in Guanjia Village thought that the Shi family was crazy, spending so much money to build a house, and the house was not facing south from north, but east to west.

What are you going to do with this kind of house?

"To buy the foundation and build the house, it costs almost 20 yuan, which is too expensive."

"To build a house in the countryside, [-] to [-] yuan is enough."

"Throwing so much money in like this?"

……

Twenty years later, the reason why the housing prices in Anshan Town are so high is that people from nearby villages actually buy them.

After all, only by buying a house in the town can the child go to kindergarten, primary and junior high school in the town.

At that time, everyone was trying their best to send their children to the school in the town. When young men went on a blind date, the first thing they asked was whether there was a house in the town.

Of course, the best ones are those who own houses in Changxi City... The schools in Changxi City are better than the schools in the town.

There are [-] students in the rural junior high school taking the senior high school entrance examination, and one hundred of them can be admitted to the general high school.

Where is the best junior high school in Changxi City?A class can have more than a dozen students admitted to the No. [-] Middle School.

As for the junior high school in Anshan Township, in one grade, twenty or thirty students can always be admitted to the No. [-] Middle School, and more than half of the students can go to the general high school.

Of course, most of the rural people in the 90s were not chicken babies, and they didn't think so much. Everyone just thought that the houses in the town were too expensive.

"We also want to build a house in the countryside. Isn't this because the foundation cannot be approved?" Shi Xing said.

The land in rural areas is collectively owned by the village, and only villagers can build houses in their own village.

"Well, then you will have to spend a lot of money." Hearing what Shi Xingchao said, the villagers sighed and showed sympathy.

As for privately... Of course they are envious.

The Shi family is too rich!

In fact, most people just envy a little bit, like the little grandma, but they have to say some sour words in the village, and tell people that the Shi family is bragging, saying that they are swollen to look fat, but in fact they have no money at all.

Of course, except for a very few people, no one believed her.

Apart from the people in Guanjia Village, those who knew Zhao Meiyun and Shi Dalin in the town were also shocked.

Zhao Meiyun and Shi Dalin are outsiders, they came from the mountains, and they don't know any words, so they look down on them somewhat.

Before Shi Zhen bought a car, they praised it and envied it, but after all, there are some people who think that Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun and Zhao Qiujuan gave all the money to Shi Zhen, so that Shi Zhen can afford the car .

Their family is so hardworking, all the money is used to buy a car for their son... Some people think that Shi Zhen is a prodigal.

There are always many people who are unwilling to believe that others are really rich.

But now Shi Dalin and the others bought the foundation to build a house, and Shi Zhen was in charge of building the house...

Previously, he had been stubbornly disbelieving the promising person that Shi Zhenzhen told Zhao Meiyun, but now he has no choice but to believe it.

Even... They inquired about it and felt that Shi Zhen might be more promising than what Zhao Meiyun said.

Some people who have gossiped about Shi's family behind their backs are embarrassed to come outside the Shi's canteen to enjoy the cool and chat.

Of course, Zhao Meiyun didn't know this.Recently, she couldn't help but tell people that her house was going to be built, which made others annoyed.

Shi Zhen was the first to start work among the four construction teams that built the house.

He built rough houses for people, regardless of decoration.The reason why a five-story building costs [-] yuan is because according to the construction requirements of the government, the house must be a cast-in-place house.

Not only that, but piles have to be driven underground.

Shi Zhen didn't have a piling machine in his hand, so he even went to Changxi City to rent a machine from someone to drive the piles, and it took a long time to drive the piles alone.

Fortunately, the land where he built his house was not a paddy field before, otherwise the cost of piling alone would have exceeded the budget.

Early in the morning, Shi Zhen went to the construction site to watch the workers driving piles with machines.

While watching, someone called out: "Shi Zhen?"

Shi Zhen turned his head and saw a short and fat young man. After thinking about it, he realized that this man was the one Zhao Dongjuan was looking for at first, and he had already forgotten his name.

"It's you." Shi Zhen smiled.

"You built this construction site?" Zhong Liyang asked curiously.

Shi Zhen was dressed completely differently from those workers, obviously he was the person in charge of the construction site.

"I did it," Shi Zhen asked him, "Why did you come here? Is your house here?" He suddenly remembered that among the people who signed the contract with him, there was indeed a family named Zhong. A house built with a single facade.

"Yes, my current house is too crowded, so my parents want to build a new one." Zhong Liyang said.

The previous houses in the town were indeed not very good.

But Zhong Liyang's family can buy the foundation and build a house alone...it's really rich.

He had misjudged this man's family status before.

"The main thing is that I'm getting married too." Zhong Liyang smiled shyly at Shi Zhen.

"Congratulations." Shi Zhen said.

Zhong Liyang was obviously in a good mood. He asked Shi Zhen about some construction matters. During the chat, he also mentioned that his wife was a new Chinese teacher in the junior high school who came to the town last year.

Zhong Liyang chatted with Shi Zhen for a while before leaving. As soon as he left, someone who came to see how his house was built came to chat with Shi Zhen.

This person had seen Zhong Liyang before, and he talked about the situation of Zhong Liyang's family with envy. Zhong Liyang's father worked in the town government, and Zhong Liyang's father had shares in the cement factory that Shi Zhen bought cement from time to time in Anshan Town.

Now the cement in the cement factory is in short supply, so Zhong Liyang's family is called rich.

The person also mentioned that Zhong Liyang's family had just bought a computer, which cost more than 1 yuan.

Shi Zhen once again felt a little poor.

He was indeed poor. Speaking of which, Guan Baiyu's company had a computer, which was bought by Liang's father, and it was not of much use. It was mainly used for appearance and as an advanced typewriter.

Liang Qinxuan finished the college entrance examination some time ago, and Liang's father bought another computer to go home.

Yesterday he went to Changxi City to meet Liang's father, and Liang's father complained to him that his son played games at home every day.

But looking at Father Liang's appearance, he was quite happy when his son was playing games at home. When it was time for dinner, he hurried home to eat because his son was at home.

Of course, if you say that he is a good father, that certainly doesn't count. Liang Qinxuan's mother was driven away by him and is still staying in another place.

Liang Qinxuan had always planned to buy a house where he was studying when he went to college, and take his mother to live with him.

At this time, no matter which big city you are in, housing prices are not expensive. If Liang Qinxuan wants to buy it near the school, Liang's father will definitely give him money.

In fact, his mother got a lot of money from the divorce, so she should have money in hand.

Shi Zhen stayed at the construction site until noon, and Fang Miyan and Shi Xingchao rode a tricycle to the construction site to sell food.

Shi Zhen originally thought that he would invite Fang Miyan to cook at his construction site as before, but after later calculations, he felt that it was too troublesome and cost a lot of money.

He simply distributed meal tickets to the workers, and asked the workers to take the meal tickets and go to Fang Miyan's to buy food. Fang Miyan collected the meal tickets, and then went to Shi Zhen to pay for the money.

The meal tickets for breakfast, lunch and dinner are all one yuan a piece. The dishes are rationed, with a combination of meat and vegetables, and the meal is enough.

In addition, because it is summer recently, Shi Zhen also gave the workers a [-]-cent mung bean soup ticket every day-in the afternoon, Fang Miyan would send a large pot of mung bean soup to the construction site. Go for a bowl of mung bean soup.

The sugar is chilled and then put on ice, drinking it is called cool!

In addition to the people on the Shizhen construction site who will buy it, the people who build roads nearby will also buy it.

Calculated in this way, the food expenses of each worker under Shi Zhen's hands is only a little over three yuan a day, which is quite economical and does not delay Fang Miyan's business.

Sometimes workers need to work overtime, so Shi Zhen pays Fang Miyan to do something extra for the people on his construction site.

Fang Miyan prepared a lot of food, and he couldn't carry it by himself, so Shi Xingchao would come with him recently.

At this moment, Shi Xingchao helped Fang Miyan carry several buckets of food down, then rode a tricycle back home quickly, and soon brought several buckets of food.

After the two trips, a lot of food was delivered, and Fang Miyan could sell it for a while, so he took the time to pack up the cardboard and small pieces of steel wire on the construction site, and moved them all to his tricycle.

He grunted and carried them home every day, saving them for scrap.

Of course, after returning home and putting away the waste products, he still had to pack the food and go to town.

After that, he will help Fang Miyan sell food in the town, and when Fang Miyan sells out, the two will go back together.

Seeing Shi Xingchao looking for steel bars on the construction site again, even the ones the size of a thumb, Shi Zhen was a little helpless: "Is it necessary?"

There are very few useless steel bars on the construction site. In order to prevent workers from wasting steel bars, workers are not allowed to sell scraps by themselves.

Because the quantity is not much, it is estimated that picking up a round is only two or three yuan, so Shi Zhen didn't ask the workers to collect it.

These are usually picked up and sold by the uncles and aunts nearby.

As a result, Shi Xingchao, a big man, came to pick this up every day.

"I sold scraps yesterday for 20 yuan." Shi Xing said.

Shi Zhen: "..."

Sending and receiving sweaters, because many people followed suit, the profit is not as good as before, and Shi Zhen has no time to take care of it, so a month ago, he transferred it to Shi Xingchao for [-] yuan.

Shi Xingchao is no longer working for him, and he should be earning a lot more than before.

According to Shi Zhen's estimate, even if Shi Xingchao doesn't embroider sweaters, he can earn two thousand a month just by being responsible for sending and receiving sweaters and opening a canteen in Guanjian country.

But it was impossible not to embroider sweaters, so Shi Xingchao still embroidered.

He also picks up trash on the construction site.

As expected of a money-making maniac!

Today, sending and receiving sweaters is Shi Xingchao's own business, so he made an agreement with the villagers that the door will be closed for two hours at noon, and he will come out to help Fang Miyan.

As for the evening, Shi Xingchao usually gave Shi Xinghuo some snacks, and fooled Shi Xinghuo to deliver buckets of vegetables to Fang Miyan.

"Ah Zhen, let's stop chatting, I'm leaving!" Shi Xingchao said and left.

Shi Zhen watched him leave in a hurry, and suddenly felt that he had spent too much money...

stop!Can't be influenced by Shi Xingchao!

Shi Zhen ate at the construction site here, and went to the construction site in Changxi City in the afternoon.

He set up a reward system for the workers under him. As long as they finish the work within the specified time, they will be rewarded. Of course, the quality must be guaranteed.

So the people under him work very fast.

It's summer recently, and the weather is hot. Changxi City has started night work, and because today's work is more important, Shi Zhen has been watching on the construction site.

When work finally got off, it was past eight o'clock, so Shi Zhen called Shi Daniu, who was helping him in charge of the construction site, and his newly recruited technician, to have supper together.

Recently, a street of night food stalls appeared in Changxi City.

The people here can't eat spicy food very much at the moment, and all kinds of food from outside have not been passed on. That night, the food stalls on the street sold all the local things such as fried skewers, as well as cold drinks such as wonton noodles. of.

Shi Zhen took them to eat vermicelli pot.

This thing is made of vermicelli, plus a dozen or so vegetarian and meat dishes. It is actually very similar to Malatang, but it is not spicy at all. Of course, if you want spicy food, you can add spicy sauce yourself.

Locally made, not-so-spicy hot sauce.

The vermicelli pot is a new thing, the quantity is not small, and the price is quite expensive. It costs [-] yuan a piece. Shi Zhen invited everyone to order a piece, and also ordered a few bottles of drinks.

Everyone had a good time eating and chatting while eating, so they became familiar with each other.

What Shi Daniu talked about the most was his son.

After all, his son is still young, he came here for a few months, and after being stared at by his mother, he changed a lot of bad habits, so Shi Daniu became annoyed with him at all, and couldn't love him all day long.

Previously, in May, the kindergartens in the town recruited students with household registration in the town first, and then other people were allowed to sign up when there were spare places.

Shi Daniu insisted on queuing overnight, and promised to pay 1000 yuan more to get a place for his son, so he could go to school in September.

The fees for kindergarten are not cheap, more than 600 for a semester, of course, meals are already included here.

After eating, Shi Zhen didn't bother to go all the way home, so he found a hotel in Changxi City and opened a room to stay.

He was thinking about renting a house here.

As for buying a house, that will have to wait... The most important thing now is to use money to develop his company.

Shi Zhen slept all night, and went to the construction site in Changxi City early the next morning, and then went to Anshan Town.

When he arrived in Anshan Town, he also went to the construction site first. He didn't go home until he had dinner at the construction site at night. When he went home and opened the door of Guan Baiyu's house, he found that his house had been stolen.

Shi Zhen: "..."

In Changxi City 20 years later, the law and order is very good, but at this time... being stolen is quite common.

Guan Baiyu's house is a little run-down, and it's even easier to steal it.

Shi Zhen called the police, and more than half an hour later, the police arrived on a bicycle. By this time, everyone in the village knew that his home had been burglarized.

"Shi Zhen, what was stolen?"

"Those thieves are too much!"

"I don't know when they came!"

"That's right!"

……

Shi Zhen's loss is neither too much nor too little.

The radio he bought for Guan Baiyu, the bicycle Guan Baiyu gave him, and some of his and Guan Baiyu's better clothes are all gone.

The thief should have pried open the window in the middle of the night, stole something, swaggered through the gate, and left on a bicycle.

Fortunately, Shi Zhen was born again, unlike at this time in his previous life, he liked to keep cash by his side, so not much money was stolen.

The policeman looked at the scene and was quite helpless: "Young man, you have already driven, why are you still living here?"

The policeman was in his forties and lived nearby. He was a retired soldier and told the truth to Shi Zhen: "These things are basically impossible to get back. If you still live here in the future, the doors and windows must be replaced... ..."

This is... let him move.

After everyone left, Shi Zhen tidied up the house, feeling a little complicated.

In fact, he could have gone to live in Changxi City long ago.

There are many reasons why he didn't leave.

For example, he wants to isolate himself and Guan Baiyu, or for example, living here makes him feel at ease.

What's more, Guan Baiyu had an accident in Changxi City in his previous life, and they were renting in Changxi City at that time.

Even though it has been more than two years since he was reborn, he still can't help but feel palpitations when he thinks of certain things.

Shi Zhen was very annoyed that his home was stolen, but he was annoyed, mainly annoyed that the things Guan Baiyu gave him were gone, not because he felt sorry for the money.After two days, I thought that Guan Baiyu was still fine, and many of Guan Baiyu's used things were still there at home, so I didn't think about it anymore.

As a result, when Guan Baiyu came back from vacation and learned that his home had been stolen, his expression immediately changed: "Can the thief be caught?"

"Even if he catches it, he must have already sold it," Shi Zhen said.

"How could it be like this!" Guan Baiyu wandered back and forth in his house, about to be blown out of anger.

In fact, living in this house is not comfortable.

But there are a lot of memories between him and Shi Zhen here, even if it is uncomfortable to live in, he still likes this house, and he cherishes the things Shi Zhen gave him.

But now...

Damn thief!

Guan Baiyu is usually a very peaceful person and doesn't care much about money.

Now that he is so angry... Shi Zhen felt a little strange, and felt a "thump" in his heart.

He suddenly remembered something.

He seldom entered the back room where Guan Baiyu lived, and occasionally helped Guan Baiyu dry out his next life, and he would never touch Guan Baiyu's things.

But this time when the house was stolen, he went to tidy it up, but he couldn't help tidying up all the things in Guan Baiyu's house.

Guan Baiyu has three old-fashioned wooden boxes left by his grandmother, two big ones and one small one. The small wooden box was locked by Guan Baiyu in a big wooden box, and all of them were pried open this time.

There are a lot of odds and ends inside, which should be the things Guan Baiyu has collected since he was a child, and which he likes.

Like those beautiful pebbles that he hadn't seen before.

In addition, the glass bottle with water, the books and pens he bought for Guan Baiyu before were all put in it.

There are even some things he used in it, such as some of the blueprints he drew before.

"Xiao Yu, don't be angry, if you want those things, I will buy them for you in the future," Shi Zhen said with a smile, "By the way, I plan to move to Changxi City."

"Brother, are you going to live in Changxi City? After that, can we meet every week?" Guan Baiyu asked.

"Yes." Shi Zhen said.

"That's great!" Guan Baiyu gave Shi Zhen a hug.

He quickly let go, but Shi Zhen still... felt something was wrong.

He recalled it for a while, and then thought about this year, although he and Guan Baiyu didn't spend much time together, it seemed... that they became more and more intimate.

This all happened subtly. He was still looking forward to it in his heart, so he didn't realize that something was wrong.

Thinking about it carefully, Guan Baiyu was a little too close to him.

Shi Zhendao: "Xiao Yu, you can invite your friends to play at that time... I will rent a better house, and you can bring your girlfriend to play."

"I don't have a girlfriend!" Guan Baiyu said without thinking, feeling a little wrong.

Shi Zhen asked him to find a girlfriend from the elder brother's point of view... This made him very upset.

Seeing him like this, Shi Zhen became more suspicious, and his heart sank.
