In Anshan Town, until October, there are still many people wearing short sleeves, and the summer is relatively long.
So the ice popsicle cold drink business can continue for at least two more months.
Two months later, when the weather turns cold, it's time to change jobs, but the freezer is still useful.
With a freezer, all kinds of food used in the stall can be preserved. In fact, not only does he need a freezer, but his father also needs a freezer when he sells fried skewers at a stall.
But for the time being, his dad has no money to buy it.
Electric appliances today are really expensive.
When Shi Zhen wanted to hire someone, the first thing that came to his mind was Shi Xinghuo's younger brother, Shi Xingchao.
Shi Xinghuo was the eldest son of his uncle. Later, his uncle and aunt gave birth to a son and a daughter, and that son was Shi Xingchao.
Shi Xinghuo was a bit stupid by nature, and he couldn't calculate the addition and subtraction within ten, but Shi Xingchao was very clever.
But he didn't have the money at the time, he couldn't settle them, and there was no job opportunity for them, so he didn't agree.
They come out on their own, and no matter what job they find, it is their own choice, and he does not have to take responsibility.
But if he calls people out and can't give them what they want in the end, then he will be blamed.
This kind of thing has never happened in my previous life.
At that time, he called out the young people in the village to do the work on the construction site, and some people thought it was too tiring, so they looked for other jobs, and said some bad things like he deducted their wages.
Shi Zhen is willing to help the villagers.
But if he finds work for others, and people blame him instead... Then why should he be thankful
Shi Xingchao's words... He is about the same age as Shi Xingchao, and the two have always had a good relationship.
However, Shi Xingchao itself had some problems.
He is very stingy. According to the dialect here, he scrapes in but not out.
Shi Xingchao is not like Guan Jianguo's mother, because he has experienced hard times and is not rich, so he is reluctant to spend money.
He is the same as Grandet, even if he has money, he is not willing to spend it.
After Shi Zhen didn't work as a foreman in his previous life, he wanted Shi Xingchao to take over, but with Shi Xingchao's character, he couldn't do it at all.
He is too stingy to have a good relationship with those bosses.
Later, Shi Xingchao changed his career and took a few villagers to wrap up a property in a community. He did a good job, that is, the greening of their community always planted fruit trees. He also planted bamboos on the river that passed through their community. The person in charge of the property not only brings the security of the community to pick fruits in the community, dig up bamboo shoots in the community to sell, but also conduct group buying in the community. Today, they sell watermelons and corn tomorrow. In winter, they ask everyone if they want sausages made by the security guards...
Anyway, he kept making money, but he couldn't get in, and he did it happily.
Shi Xingchao has a very good relationship with Shi Ting. He is keen to ask Shi Ting for old clothes, etc., and take them home to wear. The only clothes he is willing to spend money to buy for himself may be underwear.
By the way, in order to save money, the lack of security guards in the community or the security guards asking for leave is often his responsibility, and he also personally takes care of the resignation of cleaning. As for the community maintenance workers? That's him!
Some people in their community were shocked by him.
When he came in in the morning, he stood guard at the door. At noon, he took takeaway and saw him cleaning the elevator. In the evening, there was a problem with the water pipe at home and he called someone to fix it, and it was him who came.
In the past life, many people came out of their village, and Shi Xingchao was the best among them, but he also had some regrets.
Shi Zhen thought of the things that Shi Xingchao regretted the most and liked to talk about the most, and felt a little helpless.
In his last life, he made his fortune by borrowing money from his uncle's family. After making money, he paid back double the money.
Shi Xingchao was very stingy at the time. All his wages were saved without spending a cent, and all meals and accommodation were on the construction site... For a few years, Shi Xingchao was actually richer than him.
It was only later that he bought a house in order to settle down for his family, and also bought land for a big business, but Shi Xingchao had no such idea.
Shi Xingchao... He has never bought a house.
Later, he finally decided to stay outside, and bought a house for the children to study... But the house was very small, and the whole family lived in a snuggle.
Seeing that the house price was getting higher and higher, Shi Xingchao finally bought a house. At that time, the house price in Changxi City had soared from six to seven thousand to more than ten thousand in a few months.
Then he saw that Tian'er was uncomfortable and he didn't buy it earlier. Every time he saw Shi Zhen, he had to say it several times, and by the way, he bought a few sets.
He also bought it, and later the house in Changxi City rose to 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
It was he who shocked his son. His son, who always felt that his family was very poor, never bought anything good when he was a child, and had been living in a dreadful way, while he went to college and worked as a part-time job, suddenly learned that his father bought it. Real estate with a total value of more than 10 million can't help but "hehe".
The father and son almost turned against each other for this. Later, Shi Xingchao paid the down payment and bought a house for his son in the provincial capital, and finally reconciled.
But the quarrel is still noisy.
Before Shi Zhen's death, every time Shi Xingchao's son came home, he couldn't help throwing Shi Xingchao's junk, and he would buy things for Shi Xingchao.
As for Shi Xingchao's wife... Well, she is exactly the same as Shi Xingchao in every way.
Speaking of which, Shi Xingchao's wife is also from Anshan Town. She and Shi Xingchao's consumption outlook is highly consistent. The two fell in love at first sight and fell in love with each other.
Shi Zhen has never been someone who spends money indiscriminately, but he can't understand Shi Xingchao and the couple.
If Shi Xingchao came to help now...
Shi Xingchao eats and lives on his side and takes some money from his side. This is definitely something, but Shi Xingchao will not take money that does not belong to him.
As for this person's Grandet behavior, get used to it.
Shi Zhen borrowed a phone from the villagers and called his own village.
It was the village head who answered the phone. He couldn't call Shi Xingchao for a while, so Shi Zhen made an appointment with the village head, and when the time was up, he would call again.
This time, Shi Xingchao answered the phone.
Knowing that Shi Zhen was short of people, Shi Xingchao agreed to come over without saying a word. After agreeing, he asked, "Ah Zhen, do you have room and board?"
"Package." Shi Zhen said.
"You wait! I'll be here soon!" Shi Xing said.
Shi Zhen hung up the phone, a little helpless.
Shi Xingchao's stingy temper was not obvious when he was in the village.
After all, back then everyone was poor and stingy.
But after it comes out... Forget it, everyone's way of living is different.
Shi Xingchao is happy with himself.
As for him... He just wanted to take care of Bai Yu.
When Shi Zhen contacted Shi Xingchao, Guan Baiyu was shocked by Liang Qinxuan's generosity.
Liang Qinxuan simply... doesn't take money as money.
Of course, this is mainly because Liang Qinxuan is too rich.
Liang Qinxuan's father made a fortune in the mid to late 1980s.
Before he made his fortune, Liang's father was a teacher, and Liang Qinxuan had a good life. After he made his fortune... If nothing else, Liang Qinxuan would never be short of money.
Today in the City One Middle School, most people live on 20 to 30 a week.
Breakfast can be done within 50 cents. After all, a bowl of porridge with some pickles on it in the cafeteria only costs 10 cents, and pickles, shredded pork, noodles, eggs, and fried rice are only 40 cents.
For lunch and dinner, one yuan can eat well, and even many dishes are only two cents thirty cents, plus rice, fifty cents can eat a meal.
Shi Zhen's living allowance for Guan Baiyu is one hundred and fifty a month, which is not too low.
But after Liang Qinxuan and Guan Baiyu went to the canteen together, he came up and bought all the four meat dishes sold in the canteen today, spending nearly four yuan in one go.
Guan Baiyu: "..."
In the cafeteria of No. 1 Middle School, dishes are served in bowls. When students go there, they usually buy one bowl of vegetables and one bowl of rice.
Guan Baiyu took a look and found that the cheapest dishes cost only 20 cents, such as pickled vegetables with a little shredded pork, roasted mung bean sprouts, and braised potatoes, which cost 20 cents.
And those meat dishes that cost eight cents or even one yuan are actually a combination of two dishes.
For example, put some braised pork on top of braised potatoes, put some braised chicken on top of braised tofu, and so on, add up to 80 cents, which is much more cost-effective than eating out.
Liang Qinxuan bought such four dishes in one go, and he would never be able to eat them all by himself, let alone buy two servings of food.
Liang Qinxuan looked at Guan Baiyu: "Look, I bought too much, you can eat with me!"
Guan Baiyu did not refuse.
Liang Qinxuan thought at first that Guan Baiyu hit him on purpose, but now he doesn't feel that way anymore.
He is so good, how could he hit him on purpose!
Knowing that Guan Baiyu was a freshman in the first year, he told Guan Baiyu a lot of things in the school, and when he learned that Guan Baiyu was in the experimental class, he took a deep breath.
"You're from the experimental class, aren't you? I was bought by my dad with money," Liang Qinxuan said in a low voice, "I wasn't bad in the senior high school entrance exam, but it was ten points away from the admission score of the first high school. Dad spent 10,000 yuan to send me in."
"10,000?" Guan Baiyu was shocked, how much he was in the first middle school, so expensive
"Usually it doesn't take that much, but my dad didn't want me to enter the key class that was all bought in, so he sent me to the regular class," Liang Qinxuan said, "It's really boring, if I go to the key class, what will happen in the class? I can get in without slipping, and I entered the regular class... In the last five miles, there must be me."
Liang Qinxuan had never endured hardships as a child, and his mother was doting on him. He didn't study hard, he preferred to play, and his grades were average.
His family is rich, and the cost of food and clothing is quite eye-catching in the class, and there must be some people who don't like him.
Not to mention anything else, just say that every time he goes to the cafeteria to eat, he gets several meat dishes, and most students think that he is showing off his wealth.
Chen Shaojin is different. He is one of the students with the best grades in their class. He is handsome and very popular in the school.
The two of them clashed, and most of them stood by Chen Shaojin.
He couldn't refute what Chen Shaojin said, his father was indeed not a person, and he hooked up with married women.
However, although Liang Qinxuan told Guan Baiyu some things at school, he didn't mention much about things at home.
He felt so ashamed.
No. 1 Middle School is a place where learning is the most important, regardless of teachers or students, it is a place where people who study well are more respected.
Children of upstarts like Liang Qinxuan are not very popular in Yizhong.
In addition, Liang Qinxuan is not used to living in the dormitory, and he can't go home every day and can't stay at night for self-study, so he has no friends.
Although Guan Baiyu was one year younger than him, Liang Qinxuan from the experimental class was quite happy to chat with Guan Baiyu.
However, Guan Baiyu remembered that he had seen him during the summer vacation, but he did not remember that he had ever met Guan Baiyu.
Guan Baiyu lived with his grandmother when he was a child. His grandmother was not a good person to get along with. During the two years she was paralyzed in bed before her death, every day was cloudy and sunny.
After a long time, Guan Baiyu is very good at observing words and expressions, and also knows how to get the favor of others.
It's just that people like his adoptive parents and Yan Jiangtao didn't like him from the beginning, and it's useless no matter how much he does.
It's different now.
Shi Zhen's family, except Zhao Dongjuan, liked him very much, and that was when he didn't communicate with these people very much.
Now Liang Qinxuan has a good impression of him, and he deliberately manages... Liang Qinxuan's impression of him is getting better and better.
Especially after he told Liang Qinxuan about his life experience.
Sometimes it's really a good way to make a miserable person happy.
Of course, after the misfortune, he must find a way to pull the other party out of this bad mood.
Through chatting with Liang Qinxuan, Guan Baiyu found that Liang Qinxuan should be very disapproving of his father's behavior, but it was because he loved his father very much, so he was particularly distressed.
Guan Baiyu thought for a while and said: "That Chen Shaojin is really annoying, I think he is targeting you on purpose, maybe he just wants you to not study hard, so that your father will disappoint you... You must not let him succeed. "
"Ah?" Liang Qinxuan was a little at a loss.
Guan Baiyu said: "Do you want to work hard and surpass him in performance?"
"He's the top five in the class, and I'm the bottom five in the class."
"You can make up lessons if you don't understand," Guan Baiyu said. "Think about it, if your grades are good, then you can taunt him... Do you feel happy just thinking about it?"
Liang Qinxuan did not speak.
Guan Baiyu said again: "And your father, he is not too young, right? I think you can work hard and perform better than your father in all aspects in the future, so that he can only see your face!"
Liang Qinxuan was a little moved.
Guan Baiyu said again: "You are still a student, and you can't shake your father's decision even if you are angry. If you want to have the right to speak, you need to become stronger, and you need to be rich."
"Can I do it?"
"Your dad can do it, your dad can make money, why can't you?" Guan Baiyu said decisively, "No matter what, it's better than giving up on yourself! By the way, even if you really don't want to study, your grades won't go up. , you can also try to do other things, such as opening a factory... that is, no matter what you do, you always have to learn."
Liang Qinxuan took a deep breath and was moved.
Who doesn't want to be great
Guan Baiyu said again at this time: "But the most important thing is that you must separate from that Chen Shaojin. He dangles in front of you all day long, and your mood becomes worse, how can you study? When you go home today, you will tell your father that if Chen Shaojin is still in the same class as you, so you won't study anymore... Let Chen Shaojin change classes!"
Liang Qinxuan's eyes lit up.
"If you change classes, as if you are afraid of him, let him change. Even if your dad takes care of him and sends him to the experimental class, he will hide when he sees you, not when you see him." Guan Baiyu said again.
Guan Baiyu didn't want to say so much, but Liang Qinxuan looked ignorant, he couldn't help but mention a few more words, and he was a little envious.
Liang Qinxuan is definitely loved by his parents, so he is like this.
Just like Guan Jinjin, she must not be able to stand her father's derailment, but if it was him, she would not suffer because of it.
And Liang Qinxuan's father... Guan Baiyu felt that he would probably agree to Liang Qinxuan's request and transfer that Chen Shaojin.
That person can make a big business, even if he is beautiful, he will not be so irrational that he doesn't care about his son at all.
Guan Baiyu became friends with Liang Qinxuan just like that.
However, Guan Baiyu's thoughts were not all spent on Liang Qinxuan.
He pays more attention to his own learning.
He came to No. 1 Middle School to study!
There is a thorough examination for admission to a middle school.
Probably this summer vacation, after he taught Shi Ting to study, he passed the knowledge of junior high school again, and Guan Baiyu was the fifth in the class in the thorough examination.
Guan Baiyu can feel that all the teachers like him very much, and the head teacher especially likes him.
There are eight people living in their dormitory, and the other seven people have all kinds of personalities, but they are not difficult to get along with, at least they did not deliberately make it difficult for him.
He quickly integrated into the group.
that is…
He misses his brother especially.
I don't know if his brother wants him or not.
When Shi Zhen was cooking, he added another handful of rice.
He didn't realize this until he finished the meal, and rubbed his eyebrows a little helplessly.
He can't be like this...
