At this time, because things are rare and expensive, copying documents is not cheap.
Guan Baiyu has lowered the price, but he still makes a lot of money.
As for some people who want to print documents, the price is even more expensive.
So this printing shop, Guan Baiyu made a lot of money after opening it for a while. He thought that if he opened it for a year, he should be able to earn back the cost of opening the shop.
The two classmates who were part-timers also worked very hard with him. Although they did not earn much more than tutoring, they were quite a lot. They could earn more than 500 per month.
Both of them have stopped asking their families for living expenses.
This Friday, Qi Xiaowu went to supplement the English language for the son of the coal boss. Guan Baiyu and a student who came to work part-time were staying in the store together when Shi Zhen came in from outside.
Seeing Shi Zhen, the girl who came to work part-time immediately said, "Hello boss!"
Guan Baiyu - I just told people that the owner of this shop is Shi Zhen, and Shi Zhen came here on weekends to inspect.
Those two part-time students—there's no doubt about it.
After all, Shi Zhen looked like a boss, and Guan Baiyu said he was doing some typing work... He was really busy.
"Hello boss." Guan Baiyu also smiled and blinked at Shi Zhen.
Shi Zhen stared at Guan Baiyu for a while before saying, "Let's find a place to eat first?"
He came over before dinner. It's past six o'clock now, and he's really hungry.
Guan Baiyu didn't have dinner either. Before, Shi Zhen came without dinner. After that, he didn't eat dinner and waited for Shi Zhen.
"Okay!" Guan Baiyu stood up, "I'll treat you today."
Guan Baiyu has already helped his first client apply to a foreign school.
And because of this, he got into the account—a lot of money.
When he went outside with Shi Zhen, he couldn't help but tell Shi Zhen about this matter, and said, "My intermediary fee, I can look at the situation and mention it later."
"The price is so high... Is anyone willing to pay?" Shi Zhen was curious.
Guan Baiyu said: "Originally, only the very rich think about going abroad, and then go abroad... You don't know, I will help them check the price of renting a house abroad... - a house, - the monthly rent is - 10,000 yuan Renminbi, tuition fees are even more expensive. I asked the seniors studying there, they usually eat, and they feel like they have nothing to eat, so they eat a piece of bread and a sausage, which costs more than ten yuan in RMB.”
So he charges an intermediary fee of ten thousand... In fact, it is just one month's rent abroad.
Shi Zhen was not surprised when he heard this.
At this time, domestic prices are indeed low: "Then you can follow your ideas."
"Yeah!" Guan Baiyu said.
The two of them did not have high requirements for food, so Guan Baiyu found a restaurant nearby and invited Shi Zhen to eat.
"Brother, there is a new dish here, pickled fish." Guan Baiyu smiled.
In another life, before his death, he opened a pickled fish shop near them.
He wanted to eat with Shi Zhen, but unfortunately he didn't have time.
And... Don't look at Shi Zhen's choice of food, in fact, Shi Zhen likes fish, and also likes hot and sour things... Of course, it can't be too spicy.
Guan Baiyu went to the store, asked for a pickled fish, and specifically said to the owner, who was obviously not a local, "I'm a local, don't be too spicy!"
"Understood!" The shop owner understood, the locals are just slightly spicy.
This house uses silver carp to make pickled fish, and the whole thing is served in a large pot.
Guan Baiyu asked for two more bowls of rice, and started eating with Shi Zhen.
Guanjia Village has many rivers and ponds, and fish is cheap. People often eat fish. During the Chinese New Year, they will even get some fish.
Guan Baiyu was caught by a fishbone when he was a child, but his grandmother ignored him and he was in pain for several days.
After that, he did not stop eating fish, but the speed of eating fish was always very slow.
The meat of the silver carp has been sliced into fish fillets. Shi Zhen eats it directly without spitting out the bones. Guan Baiyu will spit out all the small bones inside.
Shi Zhen took out the fish with only the big bones on the belly of the fish, picked out the big bones inside, and put the meat in the white feather bowl.
Guan Baiyu ate happily.
Halfway through the meal, Guan Baiyu raised his head and saw not far away, two familiar people were looking at him, it was the middle-aged man and woman he had seen at Teacher Li's place, should they be a couple
Guan Baiyu smiled at them as a greeting, and went to talk to Shi Zhen again.
They ate very fast, and when they finished eating, Guan Baiyu said, "Brother, I've eaten enough, let's go for a walk?"
"Okay." Shi Zhen said.
Now that Guan Baiyu's shop is still open, it's not interesting to go back, so it's better to go out for a walk.
After Jiang Xingsheng and Mu Tian finished their meal, they also went shopping nearby.
Although the two of them are not teaching here this semester, they have moved here, and they plan to let Mu Tian take good care of him - take care of his body.
It's just that they suddenly have nothing to do, and sometimes they don't even know what to talk about.
At this moment, Jiang Xingsheng found a topic: "Is that Xiao Li's student? Next to him is his brother? The relationship between the two of them looks good."
"Yeah." Mu Tian nodded. When I was eating before, the elder brother, was taking care of his younger brother.
As they were talking, they saw Guan Baiyu walking in front of them and went to buy a roasted sweet potato.
The roasted sweet potatoes he bought were not big, so he stopped eating half of them, and said to Shi Zhen, "Brother, I can't eat any more."
Shi Zhen took it and ate slowly.
Guan Baiyu took a few steps and pulled Shi Zhen to a stop in front of the stall selling stinky tofu...
"Didn't you say that you were struggling?" Shi Zhen was a little amused.
"I just ate a bowl of rice, can I eat it? Brother, are you full?" Guan Baiyu said confidently.
Both of them had only eaten rice before - small bowls, could have eaten something else.
Jiang Xingsheng bought a sweet potato for Mu Tian and let Mu Tian eat it slowly.
Seeing that the two brothers in front were happy, Mu Tian suddenly said, "I don't know how my Xiaoyu is doing now."
Jiang Xingsheng was silent.
His affection for the lost child was not as deep as Mu Tian's.
When he left Mu Tian, the child was still in Mu Tian's belly, and he never saw it.
But Mu Tian, always thinking about that child, never forgets.
The child's name was Jiang Yu, and Mu Tian said again, "That Guan Baiyu... There is a character in the name that is similar to Xiao Yu."
Jiang Xingsheng said: "Don't worry, we will look for it again, and we will always find it."
They entrusted a lot of people to help find the child, but no one knows whether they can find it or not.
The brothers in front were still happy, and Mu Tian was a little envious—if only her children were like this...
"Mu Tian!" A voice suddenly sounded.
The tenderness on Mu Tian's face disappeared instantly, and he turned his head, his face a little cold.
The one who stopped Mu Tian was Mu Tian's previous husband, Tao Hanyi.
After losing the child, Mu Tian went to college, and after graduating from college for four years, he stayed on to teach.
That's when someone introduced Tao Hanyi to her.
They got married not long after they knew each other. It was the end of 1983, and later in the ninth year, Mu Tian found out that he was cheating.
In the early years, Tao Hanyi was also a handsome young man, but now he looks greasy, deformed and bald, fat and ugly.
He stared at Mu Tian and asked, "The thing you sent me... What does it mean?"
Mu Tian said: "It doesn't mean anything, I just remind you - next, don't raise children for others."
"Don't think you're just faking a report, and I'll believe it."
"You think I'm so idle?" Mu Tian asked back.
Tao Hanyi choked, looked at Mu Tian's belly, and said, "You are clearly not pregnant!" Mu Tian's report was sent to him three months ago, and now it is time for Mu Tian to show her pregnancy.
"I'm so old, what's wrong with not wanting to give birth?" Mu Tian sneered, "But you, not far from here, there is a hospital... Remember to visit tomorrow morning."
Tao Hanyi still knew something about Mu Tian. Mu Tian was a bit arrogant and had a bad temper, but he couldn't do that kind of framing.
And after they divorced, Mu Tian wanted to stay far away from him, so he wouldn't suddenly come to lie to him after years.
He received the test sheet a few months ago. In fact, he wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up, but he always refused to admit the fact. When he came here this time, when he learned that Mu Tian was here, he even looked for him. .
It was also a coincidence that he met Mu Tian before he even went to Mu Tian's house.
Now Mu Tian's reaction... Tao Hanyi finally made up his mind to go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow.
The three of them wanted to face each other. Although there was a little dispute, the sound was not loud, and Tao Hanyi left soon.
However, the people nearby still noticed them, so Shi Zhen looked back.
However, none of the three Shi Zhen knew each other. He glanced at it and ate stinky tofu with Guan Baiyu.
Guan Baiyu's print shop will close at eight or nine o'clock in the evening. The two of them strolled around - circled back, and the time was just right.
Shi Zhen stayed in the provincial capital the next day, and he had to wait until Sunday to go back.
Guan Baiyu had an activity in the school this Saturday, so he had to go, so Shi Zhen simply stayed in the print shop and read.
Guan Baiyu kept some architectural books, and he would read them when he was free.
In fact, Shi Zhen also tried to find a few college students majoring in architecture to go back... It's a pity that the current college student Jin Gui is not willing to join a small company like him.
Of course, there are still some local technical talents in Changxi City. It is enough to pay someone to help, and he is not short of people now.
Shi Zhen's side is quite relaxed, but Guan Baiyu's side has some problems.
It's been three months since the school started, and it's December, and New Year's Day is coming.
Guan Baiyu's activity today is to prepare for New Year's Day.
The school will organize a New Year's Day party, each department will hold it separately, and their class will have a program.
Although Guan Baiyu was active in school, he did not become the monitor, after all, he did not have enough time.
But the squad leader has something to do, and he always likes to discuss it with him.
According to the monitor's idea, for this kind of activity, they will perform a chorus, or a recitation, and then the whole class will get up to perform, showing unity.
But some people disagree and feel that these two shows are too boring.
"If we don't have these two programs, what will we do?" The squad leader frowned.
"What a stage play!" Cai Huidong said.
"What are you doing in a stage play? You also need costumes..." The class leader came from an ordinary family, so he had to consider issues such as cost.
Before he wanted to recite or chorus, it was because of the uniform costumes of recitation or chorus. There were several kinds in the school, which were very easy to borrow.
"I can provide clothing," Cai Huidong said. "We can discuss the program."
Cai Huidong raised objections, mainly because the monitor originally planned to let Guan Baiyu stand at the front and be the one leading the reading, whether it was chorus or recitation.
After all, Guan Baiyu looks good.
He was not happy to see Guan Baiyu in the limelight.
He recently inquired about - next, Guan Baiyu's printing shop, - at first Guan Baiyu even went to decorate it himself. He was a poor boy at all, and he didn't know what was going on. Everyone liked him.
There is also Professor Li, who his uncle knew, and turned out to be much better to Guan Baiyu than to him.
In addition, there are the recent exams in the school, as well as homework and so on... Whenever the teacher praises the students, Guan Baiyu is always there.
When Guan Baiyu saw him, he said that his eyes were not eyes and his nose was not his nose. He didn't take him seriously, just like that Mu Tian.
He is the most annoying person like this.
Guan Baiyu didn't know what Cai Huidong was thinking.
He doesn't really have time for this.
The son of the coal boss, introduced him to a few more businesses... He was very busy.
It's better if someone else takes care of this kind of thing! It's just a stage play... The stage play will definitely take longer to rehearse, and even more likely, the rehearsal time will be on weekends...
Guan Baiyu was thinking about how to refuse when he heard Cai Huidong say, "I'll take charge of this matter. Those who want to participate come to me to sign up... Guan Baiyu, you're doing part-time work, don't you have time to participate?"
After Cai Huidong finished speaking, he looked at Guan Baiyu with a smile. He didn't want Guan Baiyu to participate, and he felt that it would be good for Guan Baiyu to participate, and Guan Baiyu would listen to him at that time.
"Yes, I have to do a part-time job, so I can't participate," Guan Baiyu said simply, "and there are still things on my student council side... I'm sorry."
He joined the student union. Although he was only in charge of small matters because he had just joined, it was more in his interest to perform well in the student union than to participate in stage performances.
Guan Baiyu's refusal was particularly straightforward, making Cai Huidong inexplicably angry.
Guan Baiyu is like this, as if he doesn't want this opportunity at all!
Guan Baiyu's suit, right? He loves acting so much!
But it's just right without Guan Baiyu, he can be in charge of the stage play!
Cai Huidong thought it was simple, but if he really wanted to do it... he found that it was not that easy to perform well in a stage play.
The students in their class, the only performance they have seen before, may be the Spring Festival Gala. Most of them have no performance experience, and a few have learned musical instruments. But this is not the same as a stage play.
And... Most of them are boys, and many boys don't want to perform on stage.
Cai Huidong himself has no relevant experience, so he almost couldn't go on.
If it weren't for the more responsible squad leader, who was busy working in front of and behind, Cai Huidong would not even be able to call everyone in line.
And the costumes for the show... He agreed, but he didn't know where to borrow the costumes.
Cai Huidong's family is actually not rich.
His parents were ordinary workers.
According to the fucking theory, in the past, his uncle would subsidize the family, and the family lived well, but then suddenly his uncle couldn't get in touch, and their family seemed ordinary.
Over the years, his eldest uncle contacted the family again and arranged jobs for his parents, and his family's situation improved.
And this time when he came to study, his parents directly gave him half a year's living expenses. He was in school and could be so rich.
But two months later, he spent all the money. He used an excuse to ask his parents for some money, and now he has spent it all.
On this day, Cai Huidong did not go out to dinner with his classmates, but went to Jiang Xingsheng.
The two classmates who were always with him had no doubts, and were even a little bit complacent. When they got close to Cai Huidong, they realized that Cai Huidong's uncle was so powerful.
In short, you can't go wrong with Cai Huidong!
Cai Huidong often comes to Jiang Xingsheng these days, and is affectionate with Mu Tian.
Mu Tian was indifferent to him at first, but he was an aunt, and gradually, Mu Tian became less repulsive to him.
What happened back then had nothing to do with Cai Huidong.
At that time, Cai Huidong was still a child.
However, she and Cai Huidong had nothing to talk about, so most of the time, she was doing her own thing.
Jiang Xingsheng is the same. Although he has not taught recently, he was invited by a professor here to participate in a project. Usually, he still has a lot of things to do. When Cai Huidong comes over, he may not even be able to find him.
But after a long time, Cai Huidong also knew that after five o'clock in the evening, his uncle would go home.
That day, he went to the community where Jiang Xingsheng lived at around five o'clock. After waiting for a while, he saw his uncle came back.
Seeing Cai Huidong, Jiang Xingsheng asked, "Why don't you go upstairs?"
Cai Huidong was a little embarrassed: "Uncle, I have something to tell you."
"What?" Jiang Xingsheng asked.
Cai Huidong hesitated, seeing that Jiang Xingsheng was a little impatient, and said, "Uncle, my living expenses are over."
When Jiang Xingsheng learned that it was such a trivial matter, he took out his wallet and took three-hundred pen and paper to Cai Huidong.
He didn't care much about money.
Cai Huidong was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Uncle, let's go see aunt, I'll talk to aunt."
Jiang Xingsheng naturally had no objection.
Cai Huidong got the money, so when he coaxed Mu Tian today, he worked extra hard, and of course he talked about the rehearsal of the stage play in his class.
Mu Tian said: "You can go to the senior and senior sister, and the teacher for help."
"Auntie, the costumes for the stage play... I couldn't find the right one for a while." Cai Huidong begged.
Mu Tian said: "I know a professor from your school, she should have a way." Cao Li should be able to rent clothes.
Cai Huidong kept thanking him.
Before, he was also resistant to the fact that his parents asked him to please his aunt and uncle, but now, the resistance in his heart has completely disappeared.
On the other hand, when Shi Zhen waited for Guan Baiyu to come back, he told Guan Baiyu something: "Xiaoyu, I went to the police station some time ago, I told you about your situation, made a registration, and asked if there was anyone in the past. Lose the child."
Looking for relatives, if it is ten or twenty years later, it will actually be much simpler.
At that time, the Internet was developed and DNA testing was relatively popular. Guan Baiyu had many ways to find his relatives.
But at this time... it's really hard to find.
But he still wanted to help Guan Baiyu find it.
Guan Baiyu - stunned.
Guan Baiyu also thought about looking for relatives, but did not take action.
Mainly... He was already with Shi Zhen, and it was absolutely impossible for them to be separated.
In this case... He found his family, it must be a good thing, maybe his family will oppose them.
And in those days... In those days, there were many children in every household. After his parents lost him, they might have other children, or they might have many children themselves.
However, if you really want to say that you don't want to look for it at all, of course it's impossible.
He still wanted to know what his relatives were like.
"There is no news yet, but people can help us look at it." Shi Zhen said.
Guan Baiyu's foster grandmother didn't leave anything for Guan Baiyu to recognize his relatives. It's really not easy for Guan Baiyu to find his parents, but... If they don't give up, they will definitely recognize each other in the future.
"En." Guan Baiyu hugged Shi Zhen and kissed him.
On the other side, there is another person, sitting in the hotel, staring at the hospital's test list, and has smoked three packs of cigarettes.
The cigarette butt was thrown to the ground, and the room was smoky, but he didn't seem to notice it.
Tao Hanyi gritted his teeth today and went to the hospital for an examination.
As a result... he was dead, he couldn't die any longer!
According to the doctor, it is almost impossible for him to have children in this life!
In fact, before he divorced Mu Tian, there was more than one woman by his side. After he divorced Mu Tian, there were many women who came and went around him over the years.
But in the end, only the woman he married and went home was pregnant... Feelings, that's not his child!
