Guan Baiyu smiled dryly: "Grandma, did you read it wrong?"
The old lady said, "No, I've seen it several times, a very gentle and beautiful little girl who has been in and out with your brother these days."
Zhao Qiujuan is not good-looking, but she is not aggressive, and is the kind that is very popular with elders.
For some old people, tall young men are handsome, and young girls are beautiful if they have no flaws in their facial features.
After the old lady finished speaking, she wanted to drag Guan Baiyu to chat for a while, but Guan Baiyu smiled again, speeding up and running upstairs.
The old lady was left where she was, and after a while, she said, "Children now, run really fast!" Guan Baiyu used to be very polite, but the smile just now seemed to be holding back something, was he in a hurry to go to the toilet
She shouldn't drag people to chat.
The old lady went downstairs slowly.
Guan Baiyu ran to the fifth floor, saw the door of their house open, and rushed in immediately.
Shi Zhen was pouring water, and when he heard the movement, he raised his head and asked him with a smile, "Xiao Yu, shall we eat noodles next at noon?"
Shi Zhen's smile was Guan Baiyu's favorite. It always made him feel that he was cherished. At this moment, Shi Zhen's gaze made his heart beat faster.
However, because of this, it was even more uncomfortable when he saw that there was something more in the kitchen of the restaurant.
For example, there is a red apron hanging on the door of the kitchen.
Shi Zhen often cooks, but he is not very particular about it. He never wears an apron when cooking. In their house, there was no apron at all before.
Guan Baiyu only felt a tightness in his chest, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Brother, do you have a girlfriend?"
Guan Baiyu's expression was not very good-looking, and the words were even more questioning, but Shi Zhen... could also see his panic.
Shi Zhen sighed secretly: "Who did you listen to?"
"Neighbors downstairs." Guan Baiyu clenched his fists, waiting for Shi Zhen's sentence.
Shi Zhen knew what was going on, and smiled: "Your sister Qiujuan lives here recently, they must have misunderstood."
Guan Baiyu: "..."
The sharpness on Guan Baiyu's body disappeared instantly, and there was embarrassment all over his body, looking at Shi Zhen embarrassedly.
Shi Zhen restrained his emotions and smiled gently: "So... how about we eat noodles at noon?"
"Okay." Guan Baiyu gave Shi Zhen a well-behaved smile.
Shi Zhen wanted to touch his head, but he didn't reach out.
He didn't think much about it before, and he didn't notice some of Guan Baiyu's small movements, but this year he observed carefully... He felt more and more clearly... Guan Baiyu liked himself.
Perhaps this feeling is still deepening.
It suddenly occurred to him that Guan Baiyu had asked him about marriage before.
At that time, he didn't think much about it, he just thought that Guan Baiyu had a monopoly on him.
This kind of situation is not uncommon among relatives. At that time, he did not want to lie to Guan Baiyu, and directly said that he did not plan to get married.
Now he doesn't know whether he should use this to appease Guan Baiyu.
Shi Zhen attaches great importance to nutritional matching. He took a piece of pork from the refrigerator and cut it into cubes, cut a few eggplants, and planned to make pork and eggplant noodles.
Guan Baiyu was busy beside him, planning to cut a cucumber salad and a fruit.
Shi Zhen said: "Xiaoyu, the kitchen is too crowded, you can take the chopping board and go outside to cut."
The kitchen is very small, and Guan Baiyu stayed in the kitchen with him, rubbing against each other.
He could still clearly feel that Guan Baiyu... was deliberately getting close to him.
Guan Baiyu's movements were cautious, sometimes just with the back of his hand next to his arm, he would smile happily.
What a kid.
That is to say, children can only have such small touches and be so happy.
Guan Baiyu is really happy, cooking with his brother, this can also show off with him at the same table.
But his brother asked him to go out... Guan Baiyu could only go out with the chopping board depressed.
He made a plate of cucumber salad, and carefully peeled the pineapple from the refrigerator, sliced it and placed it on the plate.
Shi Zhen was a little worried when he saw Guan Baiyu looking at himself from time to time while he was doing things.
He didn't know whether he was right or wrong in letting Guan Baiyu come back to live.
After he moved to Changxi City a year ago, he thought about letting Guan Baiyu go home, so that Guan Baiyu could sleep better, but because he discovered Guan Baiyu's mind, he didn't do it in the end.
This time he let Guan Baiyu come back to live, because this year, Guan Baiyu has been very restrained.
But now he realizes... His existence will actually affect Guan Baiyu.
It would be better for him to go home less in the future.
Shi Zhen cooked the noodles, covered the stewed eggplant with minced meat, and brought it to Guan Baiyu: "Xiaoyu, I've been a little busy recently, and I have to go out in the afternoon... I'm sorry."
"Brother, it's alright, you don't need to apologize," Guan Baiyu smiled and asked again, "By the way, brother, why does the eldest sister live here?" Shi Zhen was about to leave, and he could only chat with Shi Zhen more. .
Shi Zhen said that Zhao Qiujuan was on stage there.
"Brother, I haven't been to your company yet, can I go?" Guan Baiyu asked again.
Shi Zhen completed the house building project in Anshan Town last year. After earning hundreds of thousands of dollars, he bought a piece of land in Changxi City and built an office building.
Not long after the house was built, Guan Baiyu had never been there.
"I'll take you there, you can play there in the afternoon, I'll pick you up in the evening." Shi Zhen said.
Guan Baiyu said: "Brother, I don't play, I can go there to review!"
"Okay." Shi Zhen said.
Guan Baiyu packed up a few books, and then Shi Zhen sent Guan Baiyu to his company.
He had to admit that he had selfishness in buying this land and building this company.
In the last life, this place will be developed into a wealthy area in more than ten years.
He occupies a place here, and when the time comes, he can make a lot of money by demolishing it.
However, he did not buy a particularly large piece of land. If he did buy a large piece of land... people might bypass him for development.
Shi Zhen bought a total of 500 square meters of land. He left a total of more than 200 square meters of land for the yard. He plans to make some garden landscapes in the future. Of course, it has not yet been planted here. On the flowers and grasses, is a piece of mud.
As for the office building at the back... The design of Shi Zhen's three-story office building is definitely very modern and new in Changxi City at this time.
The house has three floors and covers an area of about 200 square meters.
Its ground floor is slightly smaller than the second and third floors, as if it is holding the second and third floors. The upper two floors are also designed with glass curtain walls, showing a sky blue overall.
This is not so special compared to the various strange-shaped Internet celebrity buildings in the next two decades, but it is absolutely novel in today's era when most buildings are straight up and down.
Even the four words "white stone building" that seem to be erected in the mud at the entrance are different.
Shi Zhendao: "The garden landscape outside has been designed, but it has not yet been constructed. When it is ready, you must like it."
Shi Zhen plans to dig a pond with an area of about 60 square meters and a depth of about one meter, and then raise some koi in the pond.
Of course this is not the key, the key is... He plans to build a glass bridge over this pond.
There are many glass skywalks in later generations, but at this time... even a small bridge made of glass over a small pond is rare enough.
The most important thing is... After he came up with the idea, Father Liang was willing to make a bridge for him for free.
Speaking of which, all the glass used in his office building was also provided by Father Liang voluntarily.
After all, his office building is just like this, which is equivalent to advertising Liang's father.
And Shi Zhen can think of building a house like this, which is actually related to Liang's father.
When he built a factory for Huaguang Stationery last year, Father Liang told him about the expansion of his glass factory. It was at this time that Shi Zhen knew that Father Liang planned to produce high-strength architectural glass.
The two hit it off, and the office building Shi Zhen was born.
Father Liang was already thinking about building an office building like this himself. As for the construction, of course, he was looking for Shi Zhen.
Shi Zhen simply told Guan Baiyu about the landscape he imagined, and Guan Baiyu kept praising it, making Shi Zhen feel a little embarrassed.
He took advantage of rebirth.
Entering from his office building, there are some glass-separated offices on the ground floor, but there are no people in it. At the entrance, there is a woman in business attire sitting behind a large desk... Who is this Zhao Qiujuan
"Boss." Zhao Qiujuan called out with a smile when she saw Shi Zhen.
Although it has only been a few days, Zhao Qiujuan has already adapted to the working environment here.
She especially liked this place.
She made a lot of money before, but to be honest... At that time, she didn't dare to enter the well-decorated shops in Anshan Town.
She felt that she shouldn't be in such a place.
But now, she works in a place that looks more advanced than those places!
"Sister, how is your typing practice now?" Shi Zhen asked Zhao Qiujuan.
Zhao Qiujuan said: "If I know all the characters, I can type seven or eight hundred in half an hour."
This speed is not fast, but it is definitely achieved by Zhao Qiujuan's hard work in the past few days.
"Sister, you are progressing really fast." Shi Zhen said.
Zhao Qiujuan pursed her lips and smiled.
Shi Zhen didn't stay here much, he left Guan Baiyu and left.
Guan Baiyu and Zhao Qiujuan didn't get along much. Zhao Qiujuan didn't know what to talk to Guan Baiyu when he saw Guan Baiyu, so he just asked Guan Baiyu if he wanted to drink water.
Guan Baiyu smiled: "I can just pour the water myself... Sister, are you learning about computers? Can you teach me?"
A person like Guan Baiyu actually asked himself how to use a computer!
Zhao Qiujuan was a little excited and taught Guan Baiyu how to turn on and off, and also opened the drawing software and told Guan Baiyu how to draw...
City No. 1 Middle School recently built a multimedia classroom and bought a few computers, but Guan Baiyu and the other senior high school students never touched those computers once.
At this time, it was the first time for him to play it. It was just a drawing software, and he thought it was very interesting.
At this time, Zhao Qiujuan opened the document again, told him how to type, and said happily: "Some words are too many, I don't have to think about it now, I know how to type."
The input method she uses for typing is called Smart ABC, and she has memorized the serial numbers of many words!
Guan Baiyu chatted with Zhao Qiujuan while playing on the computer, and naturally also mentioned: "My brother is really busy now, I rarely have a vacation, he always has something to do."
Zhao Qiujuan has been with Shi Zhen a lot these days. She doesn't think Shi Zhen is particularly busy, but she doesn't like to refute others, so she nods her head and says, "Yes."
Guan Baiyu played with the computer for a while, then gave the computer to Zhao Qiujuan, let Zhao Qiujuan type, and started to do the questions by himself.
Zhao Qiujuan's work table is arc-shaped and very large. Three people can sit side by side in the back. The two of them sit in the back, which is quite spacious.
Zhao Qiujuan was tired of typing, so she went to look at the questions given by Guan Baiyu... She immediately felt that what she had learned was too simple.
She has watched a lot of TV series and can speak Mandarin, so she doesn't find it difficult to learn to read.
She felt that she was typing slowly, and after a few more months of typing, she should be able to recognize the characters almost, and then she would be able to learn other things.
Shi Zhen drove over when Zhao Qiujuan was off work, picked them up, had dinner with them, and then went out again on the excuse that something was wrong.
In fact, he had nothing to do but went to see where the workers lived.
Migrant workers don't live very well. They usually live in a few sheds on the construction site. Of course, they also rent a house nearby, and then they all live together.
Some construction sites may also live in houses already built on the construction site after some houses have been built.
Of course, the local workers also went home to live.
Shi Zhen came over after dinner, and everyone was bathing and chatting.
Recently, there have been more and more fellow villagers on the construction site.
However, because the Shi Daniu and others he brought out of the village were all good at the beginning, and the managers who were promoted later were also serious in their work and did not like to make trouble, so they did not appear as in the previous life, they all came out of the same place, and there were still people Pull up gangs and things like that.
In addition, no one enjoys superior treatment on the construction site in the name of his relatives.
On his mother's side, there are no relatives. The sons of Zhao Meiyun's brothers and sisters have come to work, but they are not related to him.
As for the relatives on his father's side... These people came later, knowing that he would not give them special treatment, so they stopped.
Not a close relative in and of itself.
Before Shi Zhen came, he went to buy some drinks and beer. After arriving, he shared it with the workers and chatted with them.
They are all from the same place, and they all talk about things in their hometown.
There are very few of them, and their wives have already followed, and most of them have come out to work by themselves, so they are thinking about calling their wives out.
Otherwise it's too cold.
Of course, there are still people who are not married, just thinking about going back to marry a wife during the Chinese New Year.
"If the wife comes out, it's best to bring the children out and let them study here," Shi Zhen said. "The children will not be close to their parents when they are not with their parents, and the schools here are very good."
It is easy for the elders to take care of their children, and it is easy to cause problems, not to mention that the group of people with children who came out to work are basically born in the 1960s.
The generation of their parents, because of the limitation of the times, will have some misconceptions about the discipline of children. For example, although they have money in their hands, they give their children pickles every day.
And they generally have several brothers and sisters. They bring their children to the elderly. When other brothers and sisters meet, they will take their children to the elderly in order not to suffer losses. In the end, those elderly people have to bring many children. Heart.
In a previous life, there was a worker who had a good relationship with Shi Zhen. Since his child could eat, his parents would help him with it. His mother was a thrift. The child eats it, so that the child does not like to eat vegetables later, so he eats vegetable soup bibimbap.
In fact, most of these migrant workers can earn enough money. If they bring their wives and children, and rent a house here, they can also live on, but they didn't have this awareness before.
After Shi Zhen raised his mind, some people thought about it.
Not to mention, there is also the role model of Shi Daniu.
Shi Daniu's son has been in kindergarten for a year in Anshan Town, and he can go to primary school next year.
This child is in his hometown, because he is overly spoiled by his grandparents, he is like a little bully, but here... he can't even speak Mandarin well.
When he first went to kindergarten to study, he wanted to bully his classmates, but later found out... that he was being excluded instead.
That is to say, Shi Daniu and his wife loved the child and gave things to the teacher and aunt. The teacher and aunt treated the child well, and the child slowly got used to it.
By the second semester, he was doing well in school and learned a lot.
At this time, there were no regulations that kindergartens could not teach things in advance. The kindergartens in the town were expensive, and they could teach singing, dancing, arithmetic, and writing, which made Shi Daniu very happy every day, and now he showed off: "The school here is , it's really good, you can't think of it! Children are studying in school, they are given biscuits in the morning, one meat and one vegetarian meal at noon, everyone sleeps in a small bed in the afternoon, and there are snacks to eat after sleeping, today's wontons and tomorrow's dumplings Yes, everything. My son can write a lot now, do math problems, and dance."
Everyone has a heart for comparison. Every day I hear Shi Daniu talk about how his son is doing. Even Shi Duofu has the idea of bringing his own children here to study.
Shi Zhen stayed at the construction site until nine o'clock before returning home, but when he opened the door, he saw Guan Baiyu sitting in the restaurant.
Seeing him, Guan Baiyu immediately said: "Brother, you are finally back! Brother, are you so busy every day? Are you too tired?"
Guan Baiyu's face was full of concern, and Shi Zhen felt a little uncomfortable seeing him like this.
Guan Baiyu misses himself like this, but he is hiding from Guan Baiyu...
"There are too many projects in my hands, I can't do it... And in July and August, the weather is very hot, and we want to do some work ahead of time." Shi Zhen said.
"It turns out that..."
"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of you during this time." Shi Zhen said.
"Brother, I don't need to take care of me! I didn't go home until I finished my self-study at night, and I just slept when I got home." Guan Baiyu said.
"When you go to and from school, I'll take you off." Shi Zhen said.
"Okay." Guan Baiyu laughed.
Guan Baiyu had two days of worship, and saw Shi Zhen very little, but spent a long time with Zhao Qiujuan.
He went to Shi Zhen's company with Zhao Qiujuan during the day, where he also had lunch. There was a toilet and a small kitchen where he could cook food.
Zhao Qiujuan usually does a simple meal there at noon.
After the big week, Guan Baiyu went back to school.
When Lu Mingqi saw him, he immediately asked, "Guan Baiyu, have you met with your big sister this big week?"
"Meet." Guan Baiyu said, and then made Shi Zhen noodles for him, cooking for him, etc., and said one by one, and said that Shi Zhen was very busy...
He said it vividly, and Lu Mingqi was very envious when he heard it, and kept shouting that it would be nice if he also had a big sister.
Guan Baiyu: "..." That's actually not the big sister, but the big brother.
He didn't dare to tell Lu Mingqi.
If Lu Mingqi knew the truth, he would probably stay far away from him.
Shi Zhen was afraid that something might happen to Guan Baiyu before the college entrance examination, so he avoided Guan Baiyu as much as possible.
Guan Baiyu did not find it.
He doesn't have time to think about it now.
He was affected by a tense atmosphere at the school throughout June.
However, although he didn't have time to think about Shi Zhen, Guan Baiyu would still talk to Lu Mingqi about his "eldest sister", which should be relieved.
He also told Lu Mingqi that he was going to confess after graduation. Of course, whether he would confess or not, no one would know.
He knew that he had a high probability and would not dare.
Before the college entrance examination, the final exam of the first and second year of senior high school was first ushered in.
During this time, the school gave senior high school students a holiday to let them relax their tense nerves.
Some classmates feel that they are better at home, so they simply ask for leave from the school, and they stay at home instead of coming to school after the final exam.
Guan Baiyu did not ask for leave.
Shi Zhen has always been very busy. He leaves early every day and returns late. If he goes home, he will either be with Zhao Qiujuan or be alone. It would be better to stay at school and review with his classmates. Instead, he can maintain a good state.
This year's college entrance examination actually introduced some new policies.
For example, you have to pay tuition fees for college. Not only that, but you will no longer be assigned a job after graduation.
This makes many students from poor families unable to go to university.
Even in Shi No. 1 Middle School, there are such students, especially those with poor grades and lack of money at home.
Guan Baiyu was born in 1979. In this class, some like him were born in the late 1970s. For example, the oldest in their class was born in 1977, and some were born in the early 1980s. For example, Sun Qiqi was born in 1980.
Among them, there are already only children, but most of them are not only children. If there are several children in rural families... they may not be able to continue their studies for their own children.
In Guan Baiyu's dormitory, there was a boy who always regretted not going to secondary school and chose to go to high school instead.
He is from a rural area, and he is also the youngest of the family. His parents are very old and can't make much money at all. His older brothers and sisters have already started families. His older brothers and sisters didn't know much about the outside world. They thought he would not be able to find a job if he studied and read, so they didn't want to send him to school.
It’s okay to go to high school, but if you go to university to study far away, the tuition and living expenses will increase, and even the travel expenses will be a lot of money.
Some students in the dormitory were worried that they would not be able to continue their studies, which affected other students to some extent.
Guan Baiyu was also a little uncomfortable.
Without Shi Zhen, even if he managed to go to high school, he might not be able to go to college.
That night, after the evening self-study, Guan Baiyu got into Shi Zhen's car and started talking about it.
"Xiaoyu, let me help him study." Shi Zhen suddenly said.
"Brother?" Guan Baiyu was a little surprised.
Shi Zhendao: "I plan to donate 10% of my income to charity in the future... My income is not high now, but it is enough to help some students go to school."
Shi Zhen's earnings in the previous year were okay, but all the money was invested in the purchase of equipment, and he had no money in his hands.
It was only recently that he was financially better off and was able to give some of his money to charity.
He didn't know why he was reborn, but it was always right to do more good deeds.
"Brother..." Guan Baiyu was a little confused.
Shi Zhen usually doesn't mind helping people. For example, they live on the fifth floor now, and there are many older people who live here. If Shi Zhen sees someone moving things, he will help move them.
In addition, Shi Zhen's workers are willing to help if the family encounters difficulties and lacks money.
But Guan Baiyu did not expect that Shi Zhen would be willing to sponsor people who have nothing to do with him to go to school.
Shi Zhen's earnings are okay, but not too much. After all, he has only started in the past two years.
If nothing else, Liang's father's assets are much more than Shi Zhen's.
Shi Zhen hasn't bought a house yet. He even bought an air conditioner before, but now he only has an air conditioner in his room, and both Shi Zhen and Zhao Qiujuan use electric fans.
Guan Baiyu said: "Brother, let me help him. I have Huaguang's dividends, and that's enough."
"Don't, if you go to fund, people will feel uncomfortable," Shi Zhen said. "Even if you want to fund, you have to use Huaguang's name. You can discuss this with Liang Qinxuan. On my side, I will also use Baishi. Donate in the name of construction.”
In his last life, he did charity work, and he often encountered white-eyed wolves.
Guan Baiyu personally goes to sponsor, it's okay to meet people who are good, but if he encounters some ideas that are different from ordinary people... Who knows what people will think
Maybe he will feel that Guan Baiyu is trampling on his self-esteem.
Or dissatisfied, and disliked how little Guan Baiyu gave.
There are many such people.
Of course, most people are still sensible.
