Guan Baiyu's biological father's surname is Lu, and his family is in good condition.
Guan Baiyu's grandfather used to be a cadre in the town, and later he was promoted to the city.
In the last life, when Guan Baiyu was alive, he told Shi Zhen about the situation of his own grandfather's house, which he had heard from the villagers, but Guan Baiyu never planned to recognize his relatives.
Later, Guan Baiyu was gone, and Shi Zhen had no contact with the Lu family at all.
But they all lived in Changxi City, and he had met the Lu family.
The wife that Grandpa Guan Baiyu married later gave birth to several children, and these children gave birth to children, and the Lu family was prosperous.
Those of the same generation as Guan Baiyu are still quite promising.
Of course, this was also because the Lu family had connections.
There is no absolute fairness in this world. When the elders of the Lu family are staying in places like the education system and the medical system, it will always be easier for their juniors to enter.
Shi Zhen didn't know what happened that year and asked the Lu family not to keep Baiyu off. All he knew was that he didn't want to contact the Lu family at all.
Knowing that the house belonged to the Lu family, he hesitated a little, thinking about renting it...
He lied to Guan Baiyu that he was Guan Baiyu's cousin, but in fact he wasn't at all. If Guan Baiyu had contact with the Lu family, what would he do if he found out
But after a moment of hesitation, Shi Zhen still rented it.
There are so few rental houses in town that it is not easy to find the right one.
Moreover, with Guan Baiyu's character, he would not contact the Lu family.
As for Guan Baiyu's mother, he couldn't find this person at all in his last life, and he shouldn't suddenly appear in this life.
Shi Zhen had paid the rent and planned to repair the house himself in the next few days.
When he first started a business in his previous life, he also started to work, whether it was building walls or tiling bricks.
He was very good at plastering tiles. At that time, some bosses paid a lot of money to ask him to plaster them.
Although the house looks a bit broken because it has been uninhabited for a long time, the walls are very solid. The biggest problem is the wooden floor of the attic. Because of disrepair and rain leakage, some parts have been moth. If it is not renovated, the attic will not be able to go up at all. -If the wooden floor breaks, people will fall off!
Of course, the roof is also important, some of the tiles on it are broken and need to be replaced.
Shi Zhen plans to buy some tiles, wood, lime powder, etc. to repair the house, and then buy some cloth as a curtain to divide the upstairs into three rooms, so that his sister and sister can live in one room.
His parents lived in the room next to the patio downstairs, and they used it outside for cooking and setting up stalls.
With this house, he doesn't have to bring the stalls home every day in the future, he can store them directly here.
As for the family's work... His parents can set up a stall with him.
His stepmother's two daughters stopped studying very early and either went to work or followed him like his parents.
It was also his own sister. His sister was one year younger than Guan Baiyu, she was studying late, and she was still in the first year of junior high. Shi Zhen was going to think of a way to let her continue to study here.
At this time, it is not difficult to transfer or borrow, but you need money.
And this money, Shi Zhen felt that he still had to pay.
Compared with the two daughters brought by his stepmother, Shi Zhen values his own younger sister more.
After all, this is the person he watched born, grew up, and was connected by blood.
It's just that in his last life, the relationship between him and his sister got worse and worse as he got older...
His sister didn't know what was going on, she was especially in love. At first, she was coaxed by a little white face who was useless and could talk when she was less than twenty years old.
After that, the Xiaobailian family treated her badly. She shouted for a divorce several times. He also went to help her, and picked her up more than once... But she was coaxed back as soon as she turned her head.
Those few years were really crazy.
Later, Guan Baiyu was gone, he didn't want to do anything, and he was not in the mood to make a fortune for his sister. For a long time, regardless of whether she gave her money or not, she was beaten by her in-laws, but she simply left.
Then... His sister saw another man who was sweet and coaxing, and got married again.
The wife in front of this man gave him a son, and after marrying his sister, he gave birth to a son, plus the two daughters his sister brought from her ex-husband's house after the divorce... This family has a total of four children, which is very lively .
Shi Zhen disliked the two brothers-in-law, their essence was the same, they were eloquent, talking more and doing less.
Of course, his sister also has problems.
His sister is very vain and likes to spend money, but she doesn't make any money herself, but Tianer buys all kinds of luxury goods at home.
The main conflict between her and her first husband's family is that they don't see her spending money... But she didn't spend her husband's money, she asked Shi Zhen for the money she spent.
Because she said that she could not work with her children at home, and that the cost of the children was too high to support them, Shi Zhen paid her every month at that time.
Her husband doesn't have a job, so he coaxes money from her, and her in-law's family is always asking her for money. That's all. Her in-laws even dislike her spending money, and she dislikes the small amount of money she puts out... Shi Zhen is also very angry. of.
When she found a second man... His second brother-in-law's family had some background, and he himself relied on this background to make some money at a young age, but then his backer fell, and this man did not. The way to make money went downhill, and he divorced his wife.
His mouth is particularly good at speaking, and he knows a lot about eating, drinking, and having fun. He stared at his sister and coaxed him, and his sister immediately fell into it. After following this person, the cost became even greater.
This man is even more keen to hold Shi Zhen's banner and hang around outside, that is, he didn't do anything excessive, so Shi Zhen could endure it all the time.
Shi Zhen really couldn't do anything about his own sister, and he didn't like her three children who knew how to coax money from his uncle at such a young age.
Fortunately, he was reborn.
In his last life, it had been many years since he found out that his sister had problems. At that time, his sister was an adult, and he wanted her to change, but she couldn't.
Even her children... When his sister got divorced, he was suffering because of Guan Baiyu's death. , he wants to teach the children but others will not let him.
Right now his sister is only fourteen years old, and he doesn't believe that she can still be disrespectful if he watches and disciplines people under his nose.
Also, her consumption outlook needs to be changed.
In his last life, he made money and was happy to spend it for his family, but he didn't tell his family how he worked so hard to make money.
Her sister was the youngest in the family and suffered the least before. Seeing that he was rich, she became like this.
Now... this summer vacation, let his sister work for him.
In short, in this life... He can't receive the project payment, can't pay the wages of the workers below, and can't eat or sleep in a hurry, but when he turns his head, he hears that his sister spent thousands on a pair of shoes, and he doesn't want to encounter it again.
It was only in the early 2000s at that time, and because he had no money, Guan Baiyu followed him to eat cabbage and boiled noodles every day.
In his will in his last life, he left some money for his family, and also left a few houses of his own to his sister, but if his sister is still so rambunctious, I am afraid that the evening will be bleak.
He still remembered his son who mentioned money to his sister before he was diagnosed with cancer, saying that this child was a good candidate. After graduating from college, he became a policeman and could earn 200,000 yuan a year.
He really felt that this child who was raised from a baby to an adult by money is quite good, and persuaded his sister to take good care of her three children. As a result, his sister came up and said: "200,000? Not enough for me to buy a bag."
Shi Zhen was so angry at the time.
After renting the house, Shi Zhen went home.
Guan Baiyu was still in the Xinhua Bookstore, and Shi Xinghuo was not at home—he usually didn't stay at Guan Baiyu's house after finishing his work, but went to Guan Jianguo to stay.
Guan Jianguo's mother is very popular in the village, and there are often old ladies who bring their grandchildren to chat with her, and Shi Xinghuo listens to gossip by the side.
Shi Zhen ate something casually and fell asleep.
At 4:30, Guan Baiyu went home, and the money would come back later.
Shi Zhen usually went to the town to set up a stall before the money came back. When Guan Baiyu came, he was already having dinner. When he saw Guan Baiyu, he called Guan Baiyu over to eat together, and rented himself. Talk about the house.
Guan Baiyu knew that Shi Zhen was going to rent a house to pick up his family.
When Shi Zhen said it at the beginning, he felt very uncomfortable.
He hoped that Shi Zhen belonged to him alone.
Shi Zhen may feel uncomfortable when he is about to get married, and Shi Zhen's family is coming, so naturally he is also uncomfortable.
But Shi Zhen has a family, he knew this from the beginning, and it is impossible to stop Shi Zhen's family from coming...
Guan Baiyu felt that he was a little too much and even a little scary, he actually wished that his brother had a bad relationship with his family.
He can't think like that anymore!
His brother is such a good person, he should have loved ones who love him!
Guan Baiyu asked, "Brother, where is the house? Do you want me to clean it up?"
Shi Zhen said: "No, it's empty now, and there's nothing to clean up, but in the future, the things I set up in the stall can be stored there, and I can save it from moving back and forth every day."
Guan Baiyu nodded again and again.
That night, Shi Zhen's fried skewers sold very well.
When the weather is hot, people in the town will go out for shopping at night, and it is easy to spend money when they go out for shopping.
Some guests are very generous, and they even buy tens of yuan of fried skewers from Shi Zhen at one time!
In the next few days, Shi Zhen asked Guan Jianguo to buy back some building materials one after another.
Guan Jianguo drives a tractor outside, usually to transport bricks and tiles to others. Knowing the price of these things, he can also buy them at a low price.
Shi Zhen bought some assorted things, piled them up in the room, and repaired them whenever he had time.
He repaired the roof first, then bought wood floors to replace the broken ones upstairs.
Then, he renovated the house again, built an extra stove, built a partition, and whitewashed the walls with lime.
Seeing that there was a lot of wood, Shi Zhen also planned to nail three wooden shelves to divide the attic. These three wooden shelves would then hang clothes for his sister and sister.
Shi Zhen has never learned woodworking, so he can't do it too complicated, but he can still nail a wooden shelf.
While he was doing it, the retired teacher who signed the rental contract with him came over from the next door with a small teapot to watch Shi Zhen work.
Shi Zhen had recently become acquainted with this old man.
This old man is a retired high school math teacher. He is from Anshan Town, but he taught in Changxi City before. His two sons and one daughter are also developing in Changxi City.
After he retired, he lived with his children at first, but because the house was too crowded and uncomfortable and he had a conflict with his daughter-in-law, he simply ran to the old house in Anshan Town to live.
He had only been here for a few months, and he had come to live here, so the Lu family thought about renting out the house.
He usually has nothing to do, so he goes to the town bookstore to read books or something. Today, when he sees Shi Zhen repairing something, he comes over to chat with Shi Zhen.
"Young man is really good. He can do everything, but I don't know anything about it." The old man's surname was Fei, and everyone around him called him Teacher Fei.
"The family needs to do everything when they are poor. If you do more, you will." Shi Zhen smiled, and the hammer in his hand accurately drove the nails into the wood.
Teacher Fei picked up the small teapot and took a sip of tea, moved a stool and sat down to chat with Shi Zhen, asking why Shi Zhen didn't read books, etc. Shi Zhen told the truth directly.
Teacher Fei sighed: "It's not easy."
Recently, in order to do things here, Shi Zhen didn't go home for lunch at noon, and the same is true today.
He came over at nine o'clock and worked for two hours. Now that he was hungry, he took out a rice ball to eat.
The rice balls are not so delicious when they are cold, but he is not a person who cares about the taste, so he doesn't take it seriously. When he is thirsty, he directly takes tap water to drink.
"Hey! Boy, you can't drink tap water directly! Wait a minute, I have cool boiled water at home, I'll give you some." Teacher Fei stopped Shi Zhen, took Shi Zhen's cup, and went to the next door to pour a glass of cool white water for Shi Zhen .
He also stuffed Shi Zhen with a salted duck egg: "This is the Dragon Boat Festival, and my son brought it to me. I can't finish it all by myself, you can try it! This duck egg has only been marinated for more than ten days, and it is not salty at all. ."
"Thank you." Shi Zhen didn't refuse. In the past few days, he would help Teacher Fei to do something from time to time, so that he wouldn't even be able to eat a single duck egg.
Shi Zhen has brought some things over recently. In the afternoon, he will sleep for a while on the bamboo bed he just bought. When he wakes up, he will continue to work. Usually, he will work until about four o'clock. Guan Baiyu will come to him or he will pick up the customs. Bai Yu, the two of them went home together.
On this day, Shi Zhen had just finished his work and was about to pick up Guan Baiyu when he saw Teacher Fei next door igniting the coal stove.
However, he is not very good at doing this, and has never been able to light the briquettes.
Shi Zhen is now a veteran in this field, so he immediately went to help and set the coal briquet on fire in three or two strokes.
"Thank you, I really can't get this thing, and the gas at home is out." The gas he said was liquefied gas.
"Mr. Fei, your house is out of gas? Let's do it, give me your gas tank, and I'll fill it up for you tomorrow." Shi Zhen said immediately.
Liquefied gas tanks are generally large and heavy. Mr. Fei is an old man and cannot be moved.
Even if he can move it, let him tie the liquefied gas tank to the bicycle, and then push the bicycle to load the liquefied gas... This is definitely embarrassing for the elderly.
"Will it bother you too much?"
"A little thing." Shi Zhen said.
"Thank you then!" Teacher Fei said gratefully, and went in to get his own LPG tank.
Shi Zhen was afraid that he could not hold it, so he immediately followed up to help.
"Hey, my waist is not good and I can't move things... When my son came a few days ago, it was still angry, and I didn't expect it to suddenly disappear! My wife used to take care of this, I remember the fire When it’s too small, it can be used a few times by pouring some hot water…” Mr. Fei remarked. When he was in Changxi City, his wife took care of everything at home. When the gas in the liquefied gas tank was gone, his wife would find People take it to refuel.
Now he came to live in Anshan Town, but his wife didn't come because he wanted to help his son with his grandson, so he was in a hurry with some things. Shi Zhendao: "Pour some hot water if you are out of breath in winter, it can still be used, but it won't work in summer."
In winter, some components in the liquefied gas will precipitate and cannot be used because of the low temperature. It can be used by pouring some hot water, but in summer, there is no such good thing.
Shi Zhen put the liquefied gas tank in the house he rented, so that when he is free tomorrow, he can use it to fill it up at any time.
As soon as it was put away, Shi Zhen saw Guan Baiyu coming.
"Xiaoyu." Shi Zhen called out with a smile.
"You know this kid?" Teacher Fei looked at Shi Zhen and then at Guan Baiyu.
"He's my brother." Shi Zhen said.
Teacher Fei said with some emotion: "You and your brother are both good. He studies very hard, and he will definitely get into a good high school."
"Thank you Ji Yan!"
Shi Zhen chatted with Teacher Fei before and knew that he often went to the bookstore to read, so he knew that he might know Guan Baiyu.
He is a retired high school teacher, so it would be good to get in touch with Guan Baiyu... Shi Zhen praised Guan Baiyu in front of Teacher Fei.
Teacher Fei nodded again and again, he also felt that Guan Baiyu was a good boy, and the young man in front of him was also a good boy.
