Guan Baiyu's village is next to Anshan Town, and Xiaqiu Township is in the opposite direction.
Shi Zhen was unfamiliar with Xiaqiu Township, so he asked for directions in the local dialect, and then he went to the school.
In the 1990s, the vast majority of people in J City still spoke the dialect. When he first came to J City, he couldn't speak the dialect here, so the communication was not smooth, and the people here didn't trust him very much.
In order to do a good job in business, he spent a lot of time learning the dialect. Now he speaks the dialect of Changxi City, which is not much different from the locals in Changxi City, and it is convenient for him to do anything.
"Azhen, where are we going? I'm hungry." Shi Xinghuo, who had always been quiet, asked Shi Zhen.
Shi Zhen said: "Let's go to the countryside, and then I'll buy sesame seeds for you to eat."
After rushing all morning, Shi Xinghuo, who was a little listless, suddenly became energetic and asked, "What is biscuits?"
"It's delicious food." Shi Zhen was in no mood and said briefly.
Shi Xinghuo swallowed and followed Shi Zhen obediently.
Before Shi Zhen could go to the village, he saw Guan Baiyu.
Guan Baiyu, who was completely different from his impression.
It was the first time he saw Guan Baiyu in his last life. Guan Baiyu was nineteen years old. He was tall and had long legs and was very handsome, but the Guan Baiyu in front of him was different.
The boy is fifteen years old, but at most twelve or thirteen years old, he is still a little too thin.
He was wearing white clothes that were a little short and washed. His thin cheeks were slightly sunken, his complexion was pale and his hair was yellow, and his small face had a pair of big eyes. He was very thin and pitiful.
In the countryside these days, there are not many well-dressed people, but clothes that don't fit like Guan Baiyu, like those who can't get enough to eat, are rare.
Shi Zhen felt that his heart had been hit, and it was painful and astringent.
He knew that Guan Baiyu had a bad time when he was young, but he didn't care too much.
After all, when he was young, he also had a bad life. They couldn't grow much grain in their village, and his family couldn't let go of his stomach to eat, and he couldn't eat pork or something a few times a year.
That is, he can raise rabbits so that he can eat rabbits from time to time.
He always felt that living in a relatively rich place like J City, even if Guan Baiyu had a bad life, it wouldn't be too bad, but such a thin Guan Baiyu... Can he usually eat enough
Of course, the most important thing now is not this matter, but... Guan Baiyu is still alive.
The one he loves is still alive.
After the rebirth, Shi Zhen actually always had a sense of unreality. At this moment, this sense of unreality finally disappeared, and his heart became calm.
He also knew what he was going to do next.
Shi Zhen didn't look at Guan Baiyu much, for fear that Guan Baiyu would notice him.
He hadn't looked in the mirror, but he knew that his current appearance must not look good.
Although he had seen Guan Baiyu, Shi Zhen still took him to the countryside because he promised to buy sesame cakes for Shi Xinghuo.
The village sells a lot of food, including steamed buns, noodles, and biscuits.
Shaobing is made of dough wrapped in lard and green onions, rolled into a thin cake shape, and baked on the furnace wall. Of course, some people will wrap lean meat or dried plum vegetables in the cake, just like the famous Jinyun Shaobing in later generations.
The sesame cake stand also sells fried dough sticks, and the fried dough sticks are especially delicious when rolled with sesame cakes.
Shi Zhen spent two yuan, bought two sesame cakes and two fried dough sticks, and ate them with Shi Xinghuo.
At this time, the food is all about large quantities and fullness. Five cents can buy a sesame cake that can fill the stomach. The 30 cents fried dough sticks are very large. The 70 cents sesame cake and the 30 cents fried dough sticks he bought are enough to fill the stomach. abdomen.
After eating, he said to Shi Xinghuo: "Let's go, let's get a haircut, then rent a house and find a job."
When he was young, he was full of anxiety in the face of this strange world and did not dare to spend money indiscriminately, but now he is not so stingy.
He and Shi Xinghuo’s hair used to be cut casually. It was very messy. If they were short, they would be more energetic. Having a place to live also made it easier to find a job.
The haircut was done by Sanyuan alone. After finishing the haircut, Shi Zhen took Shi Xinghuo to the village where Guan Baiyu lived.
He plans to rent near Guan Baiyu's house.
He had been to Guan Baiyu's dilapidated house before. There were only two houses in it. They were small and crowded or muddy. He couldn't rent them.
Shi Zhen stood in front of a house about 100 meters away from Guan Baiyu's house.
A cousin of Guan Baiyu lives here. He is very nice. According to Guan Baiyu, he takes good care of him.
When he came back with Guan Baiyu in his last life, he ate here.
And he can remember the location of this house because two big peach trees were planted in front of the house.
Shi Zhen stepped forward and saw an old lady with shoe soles sitting at the door. There were two girls about four or five years old beside them, who were using fragments of red bricks to paint on the cement-cast drying yard.
The two children are still young, and they draw simple circles.
"Grandma, I want to ask, is there any rental house nearby?" Shi Zhen asked in dialect with a smile, "My brother and I want to rent a house to live in."
The old lady was a little surprised: "You want to rent a house?"
Twenty years later, people will not find it strange to rent a house, but the rural people at this time really don't see many rented houses.
"Wait," the old lady put down the insoles in her hands and shouted towards the house, "Jian Guo, someone wants to rent a house!"
Guan Baiyu's cousin, Guan Jianguo, is in his early thirties. Although he is not tall, he is only 1.65 meters tall, but his shoulders are wide and his back is wide. His arms are full of muscles, and he is very strong at first glance.
His job was to drive a tractor to load goods, and to make money by transporting people bricks, mud, and so on.
This is a physical job, but it earns a lot of money. Twenty or thirty a day is indispensable. If you work hard, you can earn fifty or sixty a day, but you may not have work every day.
Knowing that Shi Zhen was going to rent a house, he immediately asked Shi Zhen if his house would work.
His house is also an ordinary two-story building with two rooms at the front and the rear, but his house is fully covered upstairs and downstairs. Two of the four rooms upstairs are used as bedrooms, and the remaining two are used as bedrooms. Pack food or something, there is room downstairs.
Guan Jianguo said that he could seal the door leading to one of his two south-facing rooms and rent it to Shi Zhen for 30 yuan a month.
Shi Zhen agreed.
Shi Zhen spoke in dialect, and he was young, so Guan Jianguo was very at ease with him. After Shi Zhen gave him thirty yuan, he immediately started to organize a room, and installed a few latches behind the door to seal it up. the door to the inside.
Not only that, seeing that Shi Zhen and Shi Xinghuo had no beds, he also found two old door panels and a few benches, and laid out two single beds for Shi Zhen and Shi Xinghuo to sleep.
After some tidying up, the afternoon passed.
Guan Jianguo's house has a concrete floor, and the walls are plastered with lime. Although there are not many things in it, for Shi Xinghuo, it is already the best house he has ever lived in.
"Azhen, this is a concrete floor!"
"This house is so big, so spacious!"
"Do we really live here in the future?"
When Shi Xinghuo was outside, he couldn't make a fart with a few sticks, but if there were no outsiders, he would occasionally chatter.
In the past, Shi Zhen always felt that Shi Xinghuo was annoying, but this time he responded.
In his previous life, Shi Xinghuo worked with him on the construction site. He worked tirelessly every day, and lived in a room with a dozen people. He basically ate vegetables and tofu, and put some fat at most.
Then, he died.
He died too early, and there was no shortage of food and clothing, but he didn't live a day, and he didn't eat things like meat buns and biscuits.
Also about White Feather.
He had to support himself at a young age, and he didn't have to read if he wanted to...
However, it will all be fine.
"Azhen, I'm hungry." Shi Xinghuo looked at Shi Zhen.
Shi Zhen said: "The rice should be ready soon."
He told Guan Jianguo about dinner before. Guan Jianguo said that he would put more rice when cooking and bring him some rice later.
Sure enough, after a while, Guan Jianguo brought two big bowls of rice and a large bowl of dried tofu with garlic leaves.
Shi Zhen and Shi Xinghuo were not picky eaters, they sat at the gate of Guan Jianguo and finished their meals.
The two little girls were no longer playing at the door, and some flowers and plants were placed in the circle they had drawn with red bricks.
Turns out these...are plates.
It was getting dark, Shi Zhen brought Shi Xinghuo back to the house and lay down on the bed with the door panel.
The first day of rebirth was very busy, but Shi Zhen was in an exceptionally good mood.
After his last life, he didn't care about many things. To make money all the time, he made some reliable investments in the early stage. After Guan Baiyu's death, he never did construction sites again, but he has always invested in the development of real estate, and he also bought He built a few 4S stores... Thanks to the rising house prices in J City, he made a lot of money, and he also had money to do charity.
People live, they should do something for the world.
He's glad he did that.
To be able to come back to this world may be the reward given to him by God.
