Guan Baiyu showed off Shi Zhen's kindness to himself with his tablemates, and his mood gradually calmed down, and he began to study hard.
This year, Shi Zhen took on several more projects, more and more people under his command, and more and more money was made.
Back then, Shi Zhen had to save money for a long time to buy a tricycle, but now he has two big trucks.
Making money is like rolling a snowball. As long as you go the right way, the snowball will grow faster and faster as time goes by.
But he stayed at school.
This made him feel that the gap between himself and Shi Zhen was growing.
Of course, he has Huaguang shares.
After a year of development, Huaguang has gained a certain reputation in the province, and the sales volume is also very good, but Huaguang has grown up to now, he only takes dividends, and the rest has been ignored.
Because the company wants to expand, the dividends are not much.
After the evening self-study, Guan Baiyu went back to the dormitory with the same table, and took out Coke chicken wings and distributed them to the people in the dormitory.
He wanted to eat it all by himself, but he certainly couldn't finish it all by himself. In this summer, chicken wings can't be kept for a long time.
In the first year of high school, for a long time, there were rumors that Guan Baiyu's family was very poor, but no one has said this until now.
Guan Baiyu has good grades and good looks, so it's boring to talk about people being poor...it's pretty boring.
People who are familiar with Guan Baiyu also know that Guan Baiyu's family background should be good. He always saves money and doesn't like to show off, but his food and clothing expenses are not bad.
"Guan Baiyu, your family's craftsmanship is really good! This chicken wing is so delicious!" The people in the dormitory boasted while eating.
A sweet meat dish like cola chicken wings is very suitable for local tastes.
"This is made with Coke. The method is very simple. You can also try it." Guan Baiyu said.
"Hey, I'll definitely drink Coke if I have it, and I won't use it to cook." Someone said.
After entering the third year of high school, many students will not go back even if they pray for a long time, but stay in the school to study.
The school also provides convenience for these students, and the dormitory is not closed.
Although the cafeteria is closed, the commissary in the school is not closed, and students can still go out and buy food nearby.
But Guan Baiyu was different. No matter whether it was big or small, he would definitely go out, and every time he went out, when he came back, he would bring something to eat for the classmates in the dormitory.
Sometimes it's a cooked dish like today, sometimes it's some snacks or drinks.
Occasionally, Guan Baiyu would take some of Huaguang's new ballpoint pens or something and give them to them.
Everyone in their dormitory likes Guan Baiyu.
The school's evening self-study ends at nine o'clock, and the dormitory lights are turned off at ten o'clock.
Guan Baiyu took a bath at home, and after eating and brushing his teeth, he went to bed early, read a book, and waited for the lights to go out.
He was in their school, and he was an early sleeper.
Let’s just say that in their dormitory, some have a flashlight and study for a few more hours at night, and some go back to their dormitory, daze for a while, then get up to read a book at twelve o’clock, and then go to bed at two o’clock.
But when Guan Baiyu turns off the lights, he will fall asleep.
Shi Zhen told him to go to bed early every day. Although Shi Zhen couldn't see the things he did in school, he was still willing to listen to Shi Zhen's words.
When the lights in the bedroom went out, Guan Baiyu quickly fell asleep.
Before six o'clock the next morning, Guan Baiyu woke up. Some people in the dormitory were still sleeping, and some people were awake just like him, such as his deskmate.
The two of them were not in a hurry to wash up, so they sneaked up and walked around the playground.
Guan Baiyu is used to walking on the playground every morning, reviewing the knowledge of the previous day while walking...
Guan Baiyu's tablemate got acquainted with Guan Baiyu, so he started to go with Guan Baiyu. He thought it was good to walk around like this. They asked each other questions. Not only could they review, but they could also chat while walking.
They didn't have much class yesterday, and they reviewed it soon. Guan Baiyu's deskmate asked, "Guan Baiyu, when are you going home?"
"After this week's class, I'll go home and live." Guan Baiyu said.
After entering the third year of high school, many students of Shi No. 1 Middle School began to live at home.
After all, it is more comfortable to live at home. If you want to review something, you don't have to worry about disturbing your classmates, and you don't have to worry about your classmates' review disturbing your sleep.
Sun Qiqi and Qiu Yunxin, whom Guan Baiyu knew, both went home after finishing their second year of high school.
Guan Baiyu was very envious after knowing it, and wanted to go home to live. After all, the house he and Shi Zhen rented was not far from No. 1 Middle School, and it only took ten minutes to ride a bicycle.
But if he went home to live, Shi Zhen would probably spend his time and energy taking care of him... He was afraid that Shi Zhen would be too tired.
Also... If he goes home and lives, he might not have the heart to study.
When Shi Zhen was not in front of him, he would think about it in his spare time at most, but if Shi Zhen was there, it would be easy for him to focus on Shi Zhen.
So he didn't mention to Shi Zhen that he wanted to go home, and Shi Zhen... didn't mention it either.
But when he went back yesterday, he found that his bedroom was equipped with an air conditioner. Shi Zhen also asked him if he wanted to go back to live... Of course he wanted to go back.
In fact, he has already learned everything he should learn now, and the college entrance examination is approaching... Just relax!
And to be honest, it is definitely better to sleep at home than at school. Although their dormitory is equipped with an electric fan, it is still very, very hot to sleep in the summer, and there are mosquitoes.
Last summer they made up lessons. Some students were too hot. They simply carried a bucket of water, then put their feet to their calves and soaked them in cold water to sleep.
Guan Baiyu's roommate is called Lu Mingqi. He lives in a town in Changxi City. He has a good family background and is the youngest child in the family. He is very favored.
"That's great! I also want to live outside." Lu Mingqi said, "In school, it's very inconvenient to take a shower. They still study so late at night, disturbing my sleep."
Guan Baiyu's sleep quality was very good, Lu Mingqi was average, and he couldn't fall asleep at night when others made some noise while reading.
"It's about to be liberated!" Guan Baiyu said.
Only then did Lu Mingqi feel happy, and he remembered something: "By the way, Guan Baiyu, we are going to take the college entrance examination... After the college entrance examination, do you want to confess?"
Guan Baiyu was silent.
"But you two, don't you need to confess? I think you two are already together... Then you don't need to say anything more, just kiss it!" Just what Guan Baiyu told him, he felt that Guan Baiyu and his The relationship between the big sister is just a layer of window paper.
As soon as the window paper is opened, the bridal chamber can be directly opened.
Really envious.
Guan Baiyu said: "I want to think about it."
Although in front of Lu Mingqi, he said a lot about himself and Shi Zhen, but Guan Baiyu really didn't dare to confess.
Shi Zhen treats him as his younger brother. In fact, when he gets close to Shi Zhen occasionally, he will feel guilty and feel that he has taken advantage of Shi Zhen.
"Your sister, is she twenty-one now? There will definitely be many people who will introduce her to her, so you have to take good care of it." Lu Mingqi encouraged his tablemates.
He has been a secret lover at the same table for so long, and the two still date every weekend.
"I will." Guan Baiyu said.
In fact, he has always had an idea.
After the college entrance examination, if there is no accident, the students in their class should go to get together.
Will he be able to... drink some wine and then borrow it to do something
He doesn't necessarily want a result, it's just that he's going to go to college, and he'll be farther away from Shi Zhen in the future... It's better to get a hug with the wine.
Shi Zhen knew nothing about Guan Baiyu's mind.
He has met with Guan Baiyu's teacher. He has the contact information of the other party, and he will contact him from time to time, but all he talks about is Guan Baiyu's study. Guan Baiyu can rest assured and won't ask any more questions.
On Monday, Shi Zhen returned to Anshan Town early in the morning.
He has a municipal project to do in Anshan Town.
After he took over the job of building thirty-two houses last year, he did it very seriously and didn't cut corners at all. This year's development has gotten better and better.
Of course, when the project was done, he encountered some problems—someone had a house that was covered and ran out of money, so he wanted to owe the money.
This kind of thing is really very common. Many contractors can't do anything about this kind of thing. He had nothing to do with it in his last life.
At that time, he couldn't stop work because he couldn't receive the money. After all, once he stopped work, he lost a lot.
So he can only bite the bullet and continue to work.
As a result, those who asked him to build a house saw that someone would not give the money and the house was still being built, so they followed suit and refused to give the money.
Otherwise... don't they lose money
Most of the contractors can make money, but in fact they lose a lot. He almost lost money at the time, and then he really stopped work when he gritted his teeth, so he barely collected the money.
But in the end, almost every family owed him ten thousand dollars and didn't give it to him. He went to ask for the debt, and they were more uncle than him.
And what many of them say is... If someone else gives it, he will give it too.
At that time, he wanted to sue those people, but sometimes they can't be too rigid in this business, lest others dare to cooperate with them.
And at that time, it was a few years later, even if people owed him some money, he still had to make money, and in the end, the money became a bad debt.
This life is different... After someone didn't pay, Shi Zhen stopped work.
He has more than this project under his control. The work here is suspended, and the workers can go to other construction sites to do it... Who is afraid of who
After the suspension of work, Shi Zhen went to visit those who had paid all the money, apologized one by one, and then went to see those who didn't pay, just for one thing - if there was no money, he wouldn't start work here.
After a few days of work stoppage like this, most people have paid all the money. As for those who really can't pay...
Shi Zhen approached others and gave them an idea - if they really had no money, they could sign a contract with them and sell a suite or a facade before the house was built... Wouldn't that make money
Twenty years later, the facade is quite valuable. As for the house upstairs... This 140-square-meter cast-in-place house can sell for 50,000 yuan per set.
Since the construction of his house began, the people in the town knew that the house was of good quality.
Some of these foundations are exclusively owned by one family, and some are shared by two families... Even if two families share one, there will be one suite and two facades.
They built this house, including the foundation, it cost less than 100,000 yuan in total, and now one of the houses can be sold for 50,000 yuan... for half the money.
I still have a house to live in, and I have a facade to collect rent, which is definitely a profit!
Someone heard what Shi Zhen said and sold the house.
In the past, some people couldn't afford the foundation because they didn't have enough money, but now they want a new house when they see the house being built... They are also willing to spend 50,000 yuan to buy a house.
After the money was settled, Shi Zhen's project went very smoothly.
At the end of last year, Shi Zhen finished the whole project.
In this house, Shi Zhen built a sloping roof and covered a lot of red tiles.
Compared with the flat roof, the sloping roof is more practical for ordinary people, and it is not easy to leak. As for the outer wall, he pasted blue and white mosaics according to the requirements of those guests.
The house was rough, so Shi Zhen installed doors and windows. After the customer has checked and confirmed that there is no problem, give him the last 5,000 yuan less than him, and he will hand over the house.
In his last life, he did this kind of project a few years later, and the money was worthless. The final payment was 10,000, but now it's only 5,000.
And these five thousand... Not surprisingly, some people don't want to give it.
They didn't say they didn't want to give it, they just said they had no money for the time being and had to wait.
Shi Zhen didn't bother, and simply tidy up the house and made it into a dormitory for the workers under his control, for the workers to live in.
This practice, the owner really wants to pursue it, he will lose money here, but... If he really goes to a lawsuit, he must also give him the five thousand.
The contracts were signed, the quality of the house he built had no problems, and the project was completed ahead of schedule, so they couldn't make a mistake.
In the end, those people still couldn't stand the new house, but they couldn't live in it, so they gave money.
At the end of last year, Shi Zhen received all the money and earned about 700,000 yuan for the whole project.
This is also thanks to his experience and know how to manage workers, otherwise... If the project is delayed for one more day, he will make a lot less money.
The other three people who took over the project were relatively slow in building the house. Last year, it was not completed at all. This year, it will continue to build. As a result, the provincial capital and Shanghai have been engaged in construction in recent years, and cement and other building materials have been built after a year. It went up a bit... After they finished, they definitely couldn't earn him so much.
However, Shi Zhen also noticed that the quality of their projects is... not very good.
It will be the end of the year after this project is completed. Shi Zhen still has other projects to do. In addition, Guan Baiyu is a senior in high school, and he has to make up classes during the winter vacation... Last year, Shi Zhen did not return to his hometown.
He didn't go back. After Shi Dalin and the others considered it, they didn't go back.
Many of their relatives have come to work here, and they can usually see him. Shi Dalin has no obsession with going back.
The most important thing is that the house in my hometown has not been lived in for three years, and it has long been dilapidated. Shi Dalin is not interested in thinking of living in such a house when he goes back.
With this kung fu, he would rather spend his time renovating a new house.
The location of the foundation of their house was chosen by Shi Zhen. It faces east and is the southernmost side of the row of houses.
Although the foundation here is slightly more expensive than other foundations, this house is indeed better than other houses.
The final division of the house is that the second floor belongs to Shi Dashan and Chen Xiaofen, the third floor belongs to Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun, the fourth floor belongs to Zhao Qiujuan, and the fifth floor belongs to Shi Xingchao.
Shi Dashan and Chen Xiaofen didn't want to take too many stairs, so they chose the second floor. As for Shi Xingchao's fifth floor, he didn't mind taking the stairs. More attic.
Similar houses, multiple attics, more money! Shi Xingchao naturally likes it.
Shi Dalin and Zhao Qiujuan did not feel that they were at a disadvantage. In fact, there is a saying now that the gold and silver, most people's favorite, is the third floor and the fourth floor.
Half a year has passed, and the new house has almost been renovated, but everyone has not moved in yet. It is planned to take the summer vacation in July. After Guan Baiyu's college entrance examination, Shi Dalin's small shop is no longer busy, and they will move.
Shi Zhen saw it on his own construction site, and went to the new house to see the decoration.
At this time, people in a small place like Anshan Town were not as particular about decoration as they were later, and they didn't care much about style.
For many people in the countryside, the cement floor is just finished, and the people in the town can do a water and electricity business, stick tiles on the ground and whitewash the walls, buy some furniture, and they can also move in directly.
Zhao Meiyun, Shi Dalin and the others were thinking about saving money. The requirement for decoration was cheap, so Shi Zhen didn't bother too much.
Shi Dalin and the others thought that this house would last a lifetime, but he knew that it was impossible.
In another ten years, they will definitely change houses.
So it doesn't matter if the decoration is simple, if you want to improve the quality of life... It mainly depends on electrical appliances.
At this stage, if he installs washing machines, air conditioners, etc. for his family members, the quality of life of his family members will be greatly improved.
Words they are willing to use.
The decoration has been completed, and it has been drying recently.
Although Zhao Qiujuan also has a suite, but she is alone, it is meaningless to live alone, so she will still live with Shi Dalin and the others. There are two rooms facing the south. The master bedroom lives with Shi Dalin and his wife, and she lives in the second bedroom. The room was given to Shi Ting.
The furniture is all purchased. There is a bed and a wardrobe in the bedroom. In the living room and dining room outside, there are simple sofas, coffee tables, TV cabinets, dining tables and the like.
In the two bathrooms, Shi Zhen has done very carefully.
Many people in the city have used things like flush toilets since childhood and are used to it, but Shi Dalin and the others have never used it before... This is definitely one of their favorite things.
Of course, shower room water heaters, these they must also like.
Shi Zhen went downstairs after seeing the decoration of his house, and saw that the door of Chen Xiaofen's house was open, and Shi Xingxing was cleaning inside.
"Xingxing, I heard that you are getting engaged?" Shi Zhen asked.
"Yes! I'll get engaged after the New Year, and get married next year." Shi Xingxing smiled.
She was young and in no hurry to get married.
"Congratulations." Shi Zhen smiled and asked about the specific situation.
Shi Xingxing chose the same husband as in her previous life, Liang Weiguo. She and Liang Weiguo were both very courageous. When Shi Zhen asked those who could not afford to sell their houses in advance... She gritted her teeth and bought a set.
Liang Wei's country is not bad, not like a group of vampires like Liang Dawen's family.
Liang Weiguo's parents have been farming at home and could not provide any assistance to Liang Weiguo, but they did not ask Liang Weiguo for money, so he took all the money Liang Weiguo earned from working for the past two years.
The same goes for Shi Xingxing. She took the money herself. The two of them pooled it together and borrowed some money from Shi Zhen. They spent 50,000 yuan and bought a set from someone.
It's a little more expensive than buying the foundation cover themselves, but honestly, not much.
Mainly because they really had no money before, and now they still owe Shi Zhen 20,000 yuan.
Zhao Qiujuan still owes Shi Zhen 2,000, but everyone else has paid it off.
Now, Shi Xingxing's house has been obtained, it is the real estate certificate... All the real estate certificates, it will take two years to get out.
After the house came out, the house on the market now sells for 55,000 yuan, which has gone up by 5,000 yuan, so Shi Xingxing is actually quite happy.
After speaking, they talked about Shi Xingchao, and when they mentioned their second brother, Shi Xingxing was very speechless: "Shi Zhen, don't you know that Shi Xingchao is not a human being, Fang Miyan is pregnant, and still keeps people busy."
Shi Zhen said: "Fang Miyan should also be... willing." That is also a diligent person!
Shi Xingchao was the child born at the end of this year in his previous life, and in this life... it should be similar.
As for why they were able to get pregnant after living apart... Before Shi Dalin and Shi Dashan had moved in, Shi Xingchao and Fang Miyan had already moved in for a few months.
Shi Xingchao didn't paint the house at all! He found someone to do water and electricity, installed a flush toilet and a washbasin in the bathroom, and just lived there!
In their house, the walls are cement walls with wires running around them.
The ground is concrete, and there are water pipes in the corners.
As for anything else
Of course nothing else.
There was no table in the room except for the bed they built and two chairs to sit on.
Because they don't eat here now.
Shi Zhen went to see it before, and after reading it, he had nothing to say.
