When the money rose, he finally spent 600 yuan to set up the cooked food stall, and another 200 yuan to buy some tools from Shi Zhen's side.
Shi Zhen has always been very economical, like a stall. He bought cheap three plywood and nailed it himself, which didn't cost much, and other miscellaneous items such as cutting boards and kitchen knives were not expensive.
But the money does not know this.
In addition, Shi Zhen had paid Qianqi a salary before, and the salary added up to more than 800 yuan. After a discussion with Qianqi's family, they felt that it was worth spending 800 to set up a stall.
Shi Zhen didn't fool them either. He explained the method of each food in detail, and then took the money to see Butcher Zhu, to the place where the dried eggs and tofu were wholesaled, and even the place to buy the seasoning.
These miscellaneous things are very troublesome. Fortunately, Qian Qi's father also came. The two followed Shi Zhen for a day, and they almost figured out the situation, and the business was completely separated.
Shi Zhen received 800 yuan in the account, and he was in a good mood, and the money was the same.
After separating from Shi Zhen, Qianqi decided not to set up the stall so early. He discussed it with his family, bought materials in the morning to prepare, and then went to set up the stall at noon until six or seven o'clock in the evening.
The time to set up a stall is shorter, and you will earn less than before, but you will not be so tired.
And at the end of the calculation, when I got money, I found that I could earn more than 30 yuan a day, half more than working for Shi Zhen, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed.
And his parents were willing to help him when they saw how much he earned.
Their whole family was busy, and they felt more and more that it was worth spending 800 yuan.
According to the current situation, they can earn back their capital within a month.
Because of his gratitude, Qian Qi's father specially gave Shi Zhen an old hen.
In his opinion, money is equivalent to spending a few months helping Shi Zhen, and then learning a business... How wonderful!
As for making money, he didn't know that Shi Zhen knew about the fact that he had stolen the money he had collected before and spent it. He treated Shi Zhen as always. The day before he set up a stall, he saw Shi Zhen and even bought him I gave Shi Zhen a pack of melon seeds.
However, the number of times the two will meet in the future should not be too many.
When Qian got up to do all the prep work in the morning and went to town, Shi Zhen had already sold out the rice balls, so in the evening Shi Zhen came out to set up a stall to sell fried skewers and would walk past him. It was just walking by, not talking a few words.
Guan Baiyu has no feelings for Qian Qi, because Qian Qi betrayed Shi Zhen, and he also has some opinions on Qian Qi. Qian Qi won't come to his house. He is only happy and doesn't care about it at all.
Shi Xinghuo was a little depressed, and he even went to the town to find some money.
But once again, he was soon out of time.
The person Shi Xinghuo knew when he was digging river mud before introduced a job to Shi Xinghuo.
The job is simple.
In Anshan Town, the tap water pipes buried underground in the early years were very small. Now more and more people in the town and countryside use tap water, and the tap water in some places becomes very slow.
Just as the town's water plant was expanded, I planned to re-buy the water pipeline.
All Shi Xinghuo wanted to do was to help dig the pit.
Going out to work in the summer is definitely tiring, but the work is safe, so Shi Zhen agreed for him.
After taking out the cooked food stall, his parents and family also came. Shi Xinghuo has nothing to do every day, and it is not very good.
Shi Xinghuo just took office and continued dredging.
The water pipe renovation project was accompanied by people from the waterworks throughout the entire process. The food was pretty good. Although the wages for the small workers were not high, only 12 yuan a day, the work was not as tiring as digging river mud. It was already a good job.
If it wasn't for Shi Xinghuo's good work before, and Shi Zhen set up a stall in the town every day to find him, Shi Xinghuo might not be able to find him in the end.
When Shi Dalin and Shi Zhen had dinner together at noon the next day, he learned about this, and he was quite annoyed: "I can do this job even if I dig mud, can you let me go too?"
Twelve dollars a day, a month is... how much is it? Anyway, there must be more than 300 yuan!
Not to mention that he still pays for the meal. Now he fights for his son every day, and he can't do anything, but he is a little embarrassed when he cooks rice and oil, and eats chicken and pork.
"Dad, that's too tiring."
"No matter how tired you are, can you go to the mountains to farm?" Shi Dalin didn't take it seriously.
Seeing the missing teeth in Shi Dalin's mouth, Shi Zhen sighed secretly.
Shi Dalin's teeth fell out so early, mostly because he was tired from doing too much work and lacked nutrition.
How could he let Shi Dalin do heavy physical work again
"Dad, eat more eggs." Shi Zhen didn't want to say more, and gave his dad a fried egg.
Shi Dalin looked at the fried eggs in the bowl, and looked at Shi Zhen with disapproval: "Azhen, even if you make some money, you can't eat like this! You've already fried the meat, why do you have to fry a few more times? an egg?"
Shi Dalin's life in the past few days is sour.
His son is too filial and willing to spend money!
Let's just say that today, eating white rice porridge in the morning is very good in his opinion, and his son even gave them a salted duck egg!
He thought that salted duck eggs would be the best thing. Good guy, his son also fried peanuts and two greens!
How about noon today? There were already fried pork slices with cowpeas on the table, and his son also fried eggs for them.
The landlord does not eat like this, how can his son save money
Shi Zhen was a little helpless when he met his father's accusing gaze.
In fact, he never spends money indiscriminately.
The family's food expenses are also quite large, so the meat dishes he eats for his family are cheap. For example, yesterday, he just bought three chicken racks and braised them for them to eat.
At noon today, only one pound of pork was fried in total—there were seven of them together!
He was also afraid that he would not have enough to eat, so he fried an egg for everyone.
Don't say anything else, just say that his father, after the last life, his father's diabetes is very serious.
The day before yesterday morning, he specially asked Guan Baiyu to coax his father to go to the hospital on an empty stomach for a blood test in the morning.
Probably because he didn't eat well before, his dad doesn't have high blood sugar or high blood pressure now, but if his dad eats rice so hard after he is full, I'm afraid it won't be far from high blood sugar.
Shi Zhen hopes he can eat more protein and vegetables.
But... Shi Dalin felt that as long as he had enough food, he could finish a bowl of rice by giving him a chopstick of pickles.
Eggs and meat? That's not needed!
After all, he doesn't do physical work now.
"Azhen, you can't make so many dishes in the future. If you want to eat it, just eat it yourself, you don't need to cook it for us." Shi Dalin said again.
Shi Ting was cooking rice. She glanced at her father carefully, and quickly took two pieces of fat and thin meat and put them in her bowl.
Shi Zhen: "..." His younger sister, who had an impression of not being fat, now eats fat, and it tastes delicious!
Shi Zhen said to his father: "Dad, don't talk about it, just eat."
"You're really spending money, you..." Shi Zhen stared at him with a stern face: "If you don't eat it, I'll be unhappy!"
Shi Dalin still ate it after all, and Shi Zhen said again, "Dad, eat slowly, it's good for your health."
"What kind of truth is this? I've never heard of it."
"Everyone out there knows."
"You, you came out and became a city person, not the same as us." Shi Dalin complained, but the speed of eating slowed down.
He has a good temper himself, and now that his son is older and has an idea, he is willing to listen to his son.
Even when I eat, I feel that eating like this is too expensive.
Of course, it's delicious.
Shi Zhen also sandwiched a fried egg for Zhao Meiyun, Zhao Meiyun looked at the poached egg on top of her rice, and whispered, "Azhen, your sister and I can't eat much, we don't need to eat eggs, you can fry two less eggs in the future. ."
Zhao Qiujuan nodded again and again.
Shi Zhen laughed and gave her another piece of meat: "Aunt Zhao, I'm not short of two eggs."
He didn't want to feed Zhao Dongjuan, but he didn't need to be so ugly on the face.
Zhao Meiyun happily took a bite of the fried egg.
They lived in the mountains before, and they could eat a little of the messy game. Shi Zhen raised rabbits, and he would kill them and stew them when the farming was busy.
But they don't have oil to make these things, and they don't have any seasonings.
The dry boiled rabbit meat is not as delicious as the oily poached egg, and the cowpea fried pork slices have a little sauce, the taste is even better!
She had never eaten something so delicious before!
After lunch, Shi Zhen took Guan Baiyu back.
After a few days of rest, he recovered. After selling the rice balls this morning, he was not in a hurry to sleep. Now that he had lunch, he went home to take a nap.
Seeing that Shi Zhen was gone, Zhao Meiyun immediately greeted her eldest daughter to clean up the dishes with her.
She used to find her youngest daughter for work, but her youngest daughter always said why Shi Ting could not do it, why she did it, etc... In order to avoid trouble, Zhao Meiyun stopped looking for her.
As for Shi Dalin, he went to chat with Teacher Fei next door.
Mr. Fei had a conflict with his daughter-in-law. He came to live in the town alone, but his wife was still in the city with his grandson... Although he has some friends here, there are people in his friends' homes. Yes, I would be happy to take care of the Shi family next door.
Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu were his favorites, followed by Shi Fu and Shi Ting.
He likes Shi Ting because Shi Ting has a sweet mouth. Although the little girl is a little greedy, he will be happy for a long time if he gives a candy, "Thank you grandpa" every bite... Can he not like it
As for liking Shi Dalin... Shi Dalin didn't understand anything, he didn't know any words, and knowing that Teacher Fei was a high school teacher was a form of worship. No matter what Teacher Fei said, whether he could understand or not, he listened very carefully.
The middle-aged man who came out of the mountains had the appearance of a poor old peasant with a weathered face. He looked at a simple, simple middle-aged man sitting next to him and listening carefully to himself... No matter what Mr. Fei said, he felt very energetic. !
Mr. Fei is in his 60s. People of this age like to talk about various things in the past, what happened when he was a child, what happened when he was studying, and what happened when he worked.
The times he lived in changed dramatically, and there was still a lot to talk about.
His son and grandson were tired of listening to these things, and he was impatient to listen to him, but Shi Dalin, who had nothing to do, was willing to listen to him forever.
Teacher Fei began to wait for Shi Dalin to visit after dinner. When Shi Dalin came, he immediately made Shi Dalin a cup of black tea.
Then the two started chatting.
After a while, Shi Ting also came.
Teacher Fei lives alone, and his retirement salary is spent by himself. When his son comes to see him, he will also buy rice, flour, grain and oil for him... He has a lot of money, and he is a proboscis king. Shi Ting went to watch TV—his house had a TV.
Shi Ting was so happy that she went to watch TV while eating.
The clothes on TV are so beautiful!
Wow, the people inside even have a piano!
Hong Kong looks so good!
She wanted to live like that too!
Shi Dalin wasn't interested in TV sets, mainly because he couldn't read them.
Shi Dalin and Shi Ting went to the next door, Zhao Dongjuan felt a little angry when she thought that these two people ignored her.
She walked to the kitchen, only to hear Zhao Meiyun talking to her sister: "Qiujuan, life here is really good, you must find a partner here, so that you will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future. , if you can find a town, you don't have to do farm work anymore."
Zhao Qiujuan agreed and nodded immediately.
Zhao Meiyun taught her again: "Go to your brother more often, and sell fried skewers in the evening, and you will follow... You do more, so that I can find him to make plans for you. He is very capable!"
"Mom, I will." Zhao Qiujuan was very happy.
Zhao Dongjuan interjected: "You guys are still pointing at Shi Zhen to plan for you? He only has Shi Ting in his heart."
Zhao Meiyun glared at Zhao Dongjuan when she heard the words: "What are you talking about, you are in a weird mood all day long! You give me some peace of mind these days, don't offend Shi Zhen."
"I didn't do anything! Do I have to please him?" Zhao Dongjuan was not happy.
"Our family wants him to be the boss in the future, what's wrong with him?" Zhao Meiyun smiled: "Your brother is good, alas, I feel now that I will have a head on for the rest of my life."
Zhao Meiyun is actually very happy these days.
She didn't have a son of her own, so she was always worried.
On their side, it is not uncommon for a woman to marry a widower to be a stepmother and raise a son born to someone else.
Of course, there are also sons who are not filial to their mothers... But in general, sons are good to their mothers.
When she arrived at Shi's house, Shi Zhen was already old. Although she did not reject her, she did not call her mother. She was a little worried before, because she was afraid that Shi Zhen would not give her old age.
Zhao Qiujuan hasn't married yet in her twenties. In fact, it has something to do with her wanting to marry her daughter in the village.
She does not want a dowry when marrying her daughter, and her daughter is married to her. After her daughter gets married, she will help with the housework with the children... So when she is old, her daughter and son-in-law should take care of her
But recently, Zhao Meiyun felt that she didn't need to worry about retirement.
Shi Zhen is a generous person. After bringing them out, he will buy her new clothes and give her delicious food every day... In the future, when she gets old, Shi Zhen will definitely not ignore her.
Those sons in their village are not so kind to the old lady!
Zhao Meiyun smiled happily, but Zhao Dongjuan was not angry: "Shi Zhen Shi Zhen, you only have Shi Zhen Shi Ting in your heart, and you don't care about us."
Zhao Meiyun glanced outside and was relieved to see that there was no talent, and then said angrily, "I can't rely on you anyway! I already knew it!"
Hearing Zhao Dongjuan accuse him of not ignoring her, Zhao Meiyun was also aggrieved.
The woman over there divorced, which one took the child away
It's always easy to get married by yourself, but it's hard to bring two oil bottles. If you don't marry again? How does she support her two daughters
At that time, she took her daughter back to her parents' home, afraid that her brother would dislike her hard work, so her sister-in-law, brother-in-law and daughter-in-law, wouldn't she still show her face
Her brother even asked people to say kisses to her everywhere.
She knew that the man in front of her liked to beat people, and she was afraid that he would break the two younger daughters, so she gritted her teeth and brought them along.
Over the years in the Shi family, she has not treated her two daughters badly, so she doesn't know what happened.
"Okay, you don't rely on me, you rely on Shi Zhen and Shi Ting, you are not someone's mother, you can see if they are sincere to you." Zhao Dongjuan said.
Zhao Meiyun was so angry that Zhao Qiujuan was also angry, and dragged Zhao Dongjuan out.
Zhao Qiujuan pulled Zhao Dongjuan to the attic: "Dongjuan, how did you talk to mom?"
"I'm telling the truth," Zhao Dongjuan said. "Sister, Shi Zhen and Shi Ting don't have to work to go to school. You can't even go to school, so you won't be angry?"
"It's not that they didn't let me go to school." Zhao Qiujuan said. She is actually quite satisfied with her current life. She wants to have a good relationship with Shi Zhen now, so that when she gets married in the future, she will also have the support of her family.
"From childhood to adulthood, they haven't had a bowl of water level, why!" Zhao Dongjuan said again.
The Shi family is not a bowl of water, this is the truth.
Not to mention anything else, just say that when they were young, during the busy farming season, Zhao Meiyun steamed a piece of bacon, and with a knife, he would cut half of it and put it in a bamboo tube for Shi Dalin to eat while he was working on the mountain at noon.
She divided the remaining half among four children. Undoubtedly, Shi Zhen and Shi Ting's share was larger.
Such things, in the ten years they lived together before, were countless. Zhao Meiyun may feel more sorry for them, but when it's time to share things, Shi Zhen and Shi Ting always take it first.
Shi Zhen treats them far less than Shi Ting. Zhao Dongjuan still remembers that she went to school with Shi Zhen when she was a child. Shi Zhen took her with her at first, but later she was unwilling to be with her.
Where to change to Shi Ting? Shi Ting didn't let Shi Zhen accompany him.
And she didn't want to go to school when she was young and ignorant, so the adults really didn't let her go and replaced her with Shi Ting... They coaxed Shi Ting to study.
In short, Zhao Dongjuan has a lot of grievances in her heart.
She didn't think about it. When she followed Shi Zhen to school, Shi Zhen was only nine years old. At that time, there were boys around his age in the village... Compared with walking slowly with his step-sister, of course he was more Happy to run wild with boys of the same age.
Zhao Qiujuan also did not understand Zhao Dongjuan's grievance.
Doesn't she think it's all right
Don't say that they are not relatives, even if they are Shi Dalin's own daughters... Shi Zhen, who is a bit delicious, takes the lead, she also thinks there is no problem.
Shi Zhen is male, the only boy in the family!
Don't all the people in the village do this
In fact, the most pitiful one is her mother. When her mother divides meat for them, she never divides it for herself.
"Why do they want a bowl of water?" Zhao Qiujuan asked.
"Mom is at home, and it's not that she doesn't work. When she's busy, she still has to go to the ground. What about us? We do laundry and cooking at home. We don't do anything? You take care of the private land in the family, and the sheep in the family have to graze. We went to mow the grass. We did a lot more work than Shi Ting, so what happened? Dad and Shi Zhen come back with some food for Shi Ting."
Zhao Qiujuan took it for granted: "Tingting is the youngest!"
Occasionally you can get wild fruits and other food on the mountain.
In fact, Shi Dalin didn't do much mining, but Shi Zhen liked to fiddle with them the most.
Generally speaking... If he gets more, he can put it at home and anyone can eat it. If he gets less, he will give it to Shi Ting directly.
For example, the chickens are killed at home, and the chicken legs are kept by Shi Zhen and Shi Ting one by one.
But... they don't have to eat meat.
Zhao Qiujuan felt that her younger sister, when her mother divorced, was still young, so she forgot the hard days in her father's house.
At that time, when chickens were killed during the Chinese New Year, their fathers would not let them eat meat at all!
Zhao Qiujuan and her sister's thoughts were completely different, and they broke up unhappily.
Shi Zhen didn't know anything about the Shi family.
He had long forgotten the trivial things when he was a child.
At this moment, Shi Zhen returned home, tidying up the house with Guan Baiyu, and was about to take a nap when Guan Jinjin came running over: "Guan Baiyu, your high school entrance examination results are out, the teacher asked you to go to school tomorrow to get admission. Notice!"
The results of the senior high school entrance examination came out yesterday, and the school asked the third-year students to attend the graduation ceremony tomorrow.
Most of the students will go to school tomorrow and leave with a graduation certificate. Some students have to fill in their voluntary choices to determine which school they will go to in the future, but Guan Baiyu has already recommended them, so they don’t need to fill in their voluntary choices, and they can get the admission notice directly.
