Guan Jianguo usually gathers a lot of people. Recently, Shi Zhen has been sending and receiving sweaters here, and even more people have gathered here.
Not only that, the women embroidering sweaters here are willing to spend money to buy snacks because of their income.
The man who sold the maltose came on a bicycle, and he sold a lot of maltose here and went away contented.
Shi Xingchao was eating the maltose, his eyes narrowed: "It's so sweet... There are so many delicious things outside!"
Shi Zhen persuaded him: "You don't lack money, you can buy whatever you want in the future." Considering that Shi Xingchao had just arrived, he gave Shi Xingchao a month's salary in advance. Shi Xingchao really does not lack these few cents now.
"It's not necessary, it's not necessary, it doesn't matter if I don't eat it." Shi Xingchao said quickly, "I've eaten meat every day since I came here.
Shi Zhen didn't tell him this anymore. After Shi Xingchao came to his side, he didn't spend a penny... What's he like!
The house on Mr. Wang's side will not start to be built for a while, so Shi Zhen drew a few more drawings, and made the numbers on it more precise, so that when the time comes, Mr. Wang can still choose.
This house is equivalent to a model house for him, and he still attaches great importance to it.
Thinking so, Shi Zhen took a shower and went to town to sell cold drinks.
The weather is getting colder recently, and there are other people selling cold drinks. His business is not as good as before, but he can still make a dozen or twenty a night, and he can sell some in the village during the day. A piece of income equals a person's salary.
The key is that selling this does not require too much preparation and saves manpower.
When there were no guests, Shi Zhen sat down and rested. While he was resting, a slightly chubby young man came over and said, "Give me a glass of ice Coke."
Shi Zhen looked at this man and found that this man was actually the man who came and pointed at him for Zhao Dongjuan.
He made a glass of ice Coke for him and said, "Five cents."
Zhong Liyang took out fifty cents to Shi Zhen, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry."
"Huh?" Shi Zhen was a little puzzled.
Zhong Liyang said: "Before Dongjuan... Zhao Dongjuan came to me and asked me why I ignored her. I didn't know what to say. When I was asked, I said I was looking for you... I'm sorry."
Zhao Dongjuan was very gentle and pitiful in front of him before. When he first said that they would not meet again, Zhao Dongjuan just cried. Later, when he saw that he was determined not to fall in love with her, he started to be aggressive, and he was taken aback. , and provided Shi Zhen.
Zhao Dongjuan was afraid that she would find trouble with Shi Zhen.
"It's okay." Shi Zhen said, and Zhao Dongjuan just said a few words, and now there is no way to take advantage of him.
"It's fine... Cough cough." Zhong Liyang said: "She has inquired about you before, and your cousin, and she doesn't know what to do... You pay attention."
"Yeah." Shi Zhen's eyes flashed.
But thinking that Guan Baiyu is now a student of No. 1 Middle School and will not get involved with him, so he doesn't need to be afraid of Zhao Dongjuan, and he is relieved.
Zhong Liyang left with a little embarrassment.
Shi Zhen let go of this matter first. If he expected it to be good, Zhao Dongjuan would probably be looking for the next person at the moment and would not come to trouble him.
In his last life, Zhao Dongjuan had been staring at him to grow wool, but it was too early for him to pick up the family. At this stage... Although he has some money, he can't compare with the locals at all.
Compared with squeezing money from him, for Zhao Dongjuan, it must be more cost-effective to find someone who has a house and money in the local area.
Not to mention anything else, just say that Zhong Liyang just now has hundreds of clothes and shoes, and most of his family are rich.
Shi Zhen's life is very quiet.
Shi Xingchao got rid of the stinginess of this person, other aspects are good, at least he is more clean and diligent than Shi Xinghuo.
He recently washed Shi Zhen and Shi Xinghuo's clothes.
As for the reason... Shi Xinghuo thought that Shi Xingchao really had no money. Seeing that his younger brother was pitiful, he would buy snacks for Shi Xingchao from time to time.
Shi Xingchao didn't ask for much. For a ham sausage or something, he shared a share with Shi Xinghuo, and then he washed Shi Xinghuo's clothes.
Shi Xinghuo didn't know that Shi Xingchao washed his clothes for the sake of sharing snacks. He thought that Shi Xingchao was deeply in love with his brother, and he had to sleep next to Shi Xingchao.
Shi Xingchao: "..." I don't want to get too close to his brother, who is sleeping and snoring!
In a twinkling of an eye, it's Sunday again.
This time Guan Baiyu came back by bus. Shi Zhen rode a tricycle to pick him up at the station, and then took him home. Along the way, he asked him something about his studies.
Guan Baiyu sat in the back of the car, watching Shi Zhen's back and talking slowly.
Shi Zhen didn't feel anything wrong at first, but suddenly realized something: "Your voice..."
Guan Baiyu closed his mouth and stopped talking.
His voice has changed, and now his voice is much more hoarse, far less pleasant than before.
Shi Zhen couldn't see Guan Baiyu's expression, but he could guess, and he laughed in a good mood: "It's okay, men are like this, it won't take long for you to be fine."
Guan Baiyu was still a little depressed.
He also knew that when a man reached a certain age, his voice would change, but he didn't want Shi Zhen to hear it.
He is also a little worried now... Will his voice become more and more ugly
Guan Baiyu kept talking, and Shi Zhen said again: "Xiaoyu, don't worry, no matter what your voice is, it sounds the best to me."
Guan Baiyu was taken aback.
Shi Zhen was no different from the men he met in his ordinary life.
They are not very good at sweet words, no, not at all.
Compared with other people, Shi Zhen has already done a good job. He will chat with him and encourage him. They start from getting to know each other. Shi Zhen always says he is smart.
But it doesn't sound like the words of encouragement.
Hearing this, he always felt a little flushed, but he couldn't help but feel happy.
To his brother, he is "the best"
Guan Baiyu returned home happily, and after returning home, he took out two chocolates to Shi Zhen: "Brother, this is wine chocolate, Liang Qinxuan gave it to me, you can try it."
"Have you eaten?" Shi Zhen asked.
"I have eaten." Guan Baiyu smiled, but he had never eaten. Liang Qinxuan gave it to him at random, there were only two in total, and he took them all home.
"Do you like it? Save it if you like it." Shi Zhen didn't take it.
These little things are edible or not for him, but Guan Baiyu looks like these two candies are very precious.
Guan Baiyu thought about it and gave Shi Zhen one: "Brother, we each have one... Would you like to try it!"
Guan Baiyu's words are a bit like coquettish. In his previous life, Guan Baiyu would occasionally act coquettishly with him.
But now Guan Baiyu's voice...
Shi Zhen laughed again, peeled a piece of chocolate and ate it.
Guan Baiyu also peeled one off, licking it first, then biting it open...
The wine inside is also nothing fancy, but the chocolate outside is delicious!
Shi Zhen ate chocolate and asked Liang Qinxuan.
I haven't seen each other for about half a month. Long time no see and newlyweds... Alas, this is wrong!
In short, today's Shi Zhen gave Guan Baiyu a sense of intimacy, and Guan Baiyu asked, "Brother, why do you always ask others, why do you care so much about Liang Qinxuan?"
Shi Zhen paused before saying: "I want you to teach a few more friends. I think he is a good friend."
Liang Qinxuan is very loyal, and he is still very lively now. Guan Baiyu makes friends with him, and he is relieved.
It turned out to be like this, he said that his brother is very good, why do you pay so much attention to a person who has never met a few times!
Guan Baiyu thought about it, and then told what happened to Liang Qinxuan.
Shi Zhen frowned.
That Chen Shaojin, he knew it in his last life, when Liang Qinxuan confronted his father at the beginning, he also said that he had to mix himself up and mix better than Chen Shaojin.
However, Shi Zhen had never met Chen Shaojin. This man seemed to have been staying outside and never returned to Changxi City.
Liang Qinxuan's stepmother had a very miserable life later. After Liang Qinxuan's father went bankrupt and died, she had some money at first, but then someone defrauded her of all the money.
At that time, Liang Qinxuan didn't have time to do anything, and in the end he could only say that there is evil in return.
Now it seems that Chen Shaojin's mother and son are really not fuel-efficient lamps. Liang Qinxuan never finished high school in his last life, so it should be their handwriting.
Liang Qinxuan was kicked out of the house, and it must have something to do with them.
With their methods, Liang Qinxuan might have been involved in a group fight in his previous life, and then his grades would have deteriorated because of the great changes in the family... Liang Qinxuan's father would definitely be more and more disappointed with his son.
Wait, Shi Zhen suddenly thought of something.
In his last life, Liang Qinxuan had no half-brothers and sisters at all.
But now, Liang Qinxuan's stepmother is seven or eight months pregnant.
Did something happen to that kid
Shi Zhen thought for a while, and reminded: "Xiaoyu, please let Liang Qinxuan pay more attention. His stepmother is already in her forties, and the child in her womb is prone to problems."
"I reminded him." Guan Baiyu said immediately.
"Xiaoyu is really smart." Shi Zhen said.
Shi Zhen has not seen Guan Baiyu for half a month, which is very rare.
He didn't know what he could say either... After watching Guan Baiyu for a while, he said, "I'll go buy a duck and cook it for you at night."
"Brother, I can just eat whatever I want. I ate pretty well in school." Guan Baiyu told Shi Zhen what he usually eats.
Liang Qinxuan was picky and liked a few more dishes. Every time he went to the cafeteria, he bought all the meat dishes.
Usually a boy is enough to eat a bowl of vegetables. He buys several servings, and he can't finish it. He still doesn't eat the vegetarian dishes on the bottom... It's cheaper, Guan Baiyu.
Guan Baiyu usually eats with Liang Qinxuan at noon, but he packs the rest of the dishes, and he only needs to buy food at night.
"It's not for you. There are many people in the family, so I would have to cook more." Shi Zhen said.
Shi Zhen said that it was not stewed for Guan Baiyu. After the stew was finished, the duck liver, duck gizzard, duck heart and two duck legs were left open for Guan Baiyu to eat slowly.
Guan Baiyu was a little embarrassed, but Shi Xingchao didn't feel it.
Shi Xinghuo only needs to eat some meat, Shi Xingchao... He is already satisfied with the current food.
Shi Zhen is really generous!
His brother is such a nice guy!
Guan Baiyu was at home, and Shi Zhen didn't go out to drive a tractor to make money. On the one hand, he wanted to get along with Guan Baiyu, and on the other hand, he didn't want Guan Baiyu to see his whole body dirty.
Guan Baiyu stayed at home for two days before returning to school.
This is the last week of September, and the next week is supposed to be a small prayer, but because it happened to be the National Day, Guan Baiyu could go home.
After that, continue with the small prayer and the big prayer.
Without waiting for the National Day to start, Mr. Wang plans to start work.
More than 20 years later, in the countryside of J City, it is extremely difficult to approve a homestead, but this period, the homestead is particularly easy to approve!
That Mr. Wang didn't demolish his old house, but built another piece of homestead in front of his house to build a new house.
Shi Zhen chatted with him again, and figured out his request, that is, the house must be built with three floors, and it must be built in a very grand manner!
This is absolutely no problem for Shi Zhen, he has built a lot of stylish houses in his last life!
Mr. Wang has hired a lot of workers. In order to build faster, he hired four of them. One of them, an old master named Zhang, also brought two apprentices when he came.
For the two apprentices, Mr. Wang calculated the wages of the small workers and asked them to do chores with the master. Not only that, he also invited his neighbors to help.
The first time everyone met was on the homestead newly approved by President Wang.
Mr. Wang introduced Shi Zhen to the masons, and said, "This time, the house will be built according to what he said, and you will listen to him when the time comes."
These masons are all experienced in the local area, and many local houses are planned and built by them.
Hearing that Shi Zhen was going to build a house this time, I was a little unconvinced.
Shi Zhen knew that he was young, and it was not easy to convince the public, but he didn't have stage fright. He talked to these people about how to build this house.
"What are you talking about! How can someone build a house like this! No, no!" Master Zhang who brought his apprentice frowned, very dissatisfied.
Shi Zhen was a little helpless: "What's wrong?"
"I've never seen anyone build a house like this!"
"People in big cities just build like this."
"What do you know at your age?" Master Zhang disliked Shi Zhen very much.
Shi Zhen was not polite: "My age is easier to accept new things than you. If Mr. Wang wants a house that is the same as the people around him, he already has it, so what does he need to build?"
Seeing Shi Zhen's tough attitude, President Wang was very satisfied and said to him, "Yes, I just want to build a different house."
"It's just such a weird house, how can it look good when built?" Master Zhang muttered unhappily, noticing that Mr. Wang was a little unhappy, and quickly said: "For your face, Mr. Wang, I won't say anything. Yes, but Mr. Wang, you have to be careful not to be deceived by him."
President Wang smiled and smoothed things out, and the building of the house went ahead smoothly.
There are several ways to build a house, but as far as self-built houses in the countryside are concerned, only two are used.
One is to build a house with bricks and then build a house with prefabricated panels.
Another type is called "cast-in-place". When building a cast-in-place house, the formwork with steel bars in it will be supported, and then the concrete will be poured in on the spot to pour out the walls and floors.
As you can see from the description, the house built by the second method is more solid.
But the second method, even twenty years later, is not used by many in the countryside.
We generally only cast a few columns in situ, and cast the foundation and floor slabs in situ. Most of the walls are still built with bricks.
All cast-in-place costs are too high and unnecessary.
Of course, the rich are another matter. They not only build cast-in-place houses, but also install elevators in their self-built houses. Even the bonsai at the door cost millions.
Shi Zhen likes these local tyrants the most.
In short, ordinary brick walls are strong enough to build two or three floors. As long as you don't smash the wall or put a cover on it, there will be no problem.
After all, the thick brick wall from the bottom up is there!
According to construction standards, only those with high storeys require cast-in-place construction. Shi Zhen helped people build five or six-storey demolition and resettlement houses in his previous life, and they were all cast-in-place.
To build a house in the countryside, the first step is to dig the foundation.
In the early days, when big families built blue-brick houses, the foundations were dug very deep. Sometimes they even praised other people's houses for building well, and people would say that their foundations were as deep as they were deep.
In the 1980s, bricks were expensive and everyone was poor. Many people went out and saw broken bricks and stones, they would pick them up and use them to build foundations.
Of course, Mr. Wang had money, so there was no need to use broken bricks.
The place Mr. Wang chose to build the house was dry land, and the foundation should not be too deep, but he had money, so he deliberately let people dig a little deeper.
Before digging the foundation, all the measurements were done by Shi Zhen according to the floor plan he provided.
When digging the foundation, you don't need to be too careful, just dig the trench as deep as you can. When the foundation is finally laid, he can measure it again, and he can't make mistakes.
President Wang's house was built like this.
