In the blink of an eye, it was time for Guan Baiyu to return home.
The water and electricity on Mr. Wang's side had to be closed, and Shi Zhen still hadn't passed. That day, he came to the bus station to wait for Guan Baiyu.
The khaki-colored bus stopped at the bus station, and many people rushed out of the bus... Shi Zhen saw Guan Baiyu in the crowd at a glance: "Xiaoyu!"
Guan Baiyu also saw Shi Zhen at a glance, and raised a big smile.
Guan Baiyu felt that this world was quite magical.
Half a month ago, when he came home, he was full of entanglements, and all that was rolling in his heart were his love for Shi Zhen and his confusion about the future.
But after a thrilling weekend... he wasn't so entangled.
He has to learn restraint and must not do some terrible things.
His brother is fighting so hard for the future, he shouldn't destroy his brother's life.
"Xiaoyu, how are you doing recently?" Shi Zhen saw Guan Baiyu, so he looked at him up and down first.
That week before, it really scared him a bit.
When Guan Baiyu came back that time, he looked sluggish. Later, he went to celebrate Liang Qinxuan's birthday, and met Chen Shaojin who wanted to kill, and finally he was covered in bruises and had a fever.
In those days, he couldn't sleep well at night, especially wanted to go to school to see Guan Baiyu.
But he also knew that it wasn't necessary.
Guan Baiyu has grown up, and he has to learn to let go.
"I'm fine, I'm still alive and kicking now," Guan Baiyu walked to Shi Zhen's side with a smile, grabbed Shi Zhen's arm, "Brother, let's go back."
"Okay." Shi Zhen said, taking Guan Baiyu to his tricycle.
Although there are not many cars in this era, the road is not big, and the tractor is not easy to park. In contrast, it is more convenient to ride a tricycle.
Guan Baiyu climbed on the tricycle skillfully and followed Shi Zhen home.
On the way, Shi Zhen asked about the Liang family.
Guan Baiyu said what he knew from Liang Qinxuan, and then said: "We all live on campus and have no connection with the outside world. These are what Liang Qinxuan's cousin said in the previous small week, and now I don't know what's going on."
"No matter what, Chen Shaojin will definitely not stay in the Liang family... But you and Liang Qinxuan, you still have to be careful. He is too extreme and may cause you trouble." Shi Zhen said.
Guan Baiyu said: "Well, we will pay attention!"
After Guan Baiyu wanted to understand his feelings for Shi Zhen, when Shi Zhen cared about Liang Qinxuan again, he didn't feel anything at all.
Liang Qinxuan obviously likes women. Before, he found a pair of playing cards with pictures of beautiful swimsuits on them, and wanted to "share" them with him.
Not only that, Liang Qinxuan's appearance... is really ordinary.
Even if his brother likes men, he will not like Liang Qinxuan.
Not to mention... His brother probably likes women, anyway, he has never met a man who likes men other than him.
His brother pays so much attention to Liang Qinxuan... It's more like... wanting to know the gossip of the Liang family.
Heck, he was actually curious too.
The book says that laity likes this... He has to admit, he's a laity.
Guan Baiyu told Shi Zhen a lot, but he didn't say anything about selling stationery in school.
On the one hand, he was afraid that Shi Zhen would say that he was inattentive in his studies, on the other hand... After he had made a fortune of 5,000 yuan... He didn't like bicycles a bit.
For them today, the price of bicycles is not expensive. His brother has never bought them. It is by no means unaffordable.
It would be great if he could earn more money, then buy a motorcycle for his brother!
Motorcycle Dora wind ah! Liang Qinxuan's heart was thinking of a motorcycle, and then on the streets of Changxi City, it came and whizzed away.
Of course, Liang Qinxuan's father would not agree to buy him a motorcycle in a short time because he felt it was dangerous.
Guan Baiyu was in Changxi City, and he saw a man who rode a motorcycle and drove his girlfriend around... He hoped that one day, his brother could also drive him out to play.
Even today's motorcycles cost more than 20,000 yuan, and some more expensive ones cost more than 30,000 yuan.
Guan Baiyu told Shi Zhen about Liang Qinxuan's family, and Shi Zhen also told about Zhao Dongjuan's marriage.
"So fast?" Guan Baiyu was a little surprised.
"Well," Shi Zhen said, "it's mainly because the man is in a hurry. He has already started preparing for the wedding, and plans to cancel the wedding a few years ago. Originally, my father's intention was that Zhao Dongjuan would marry, so why would he go to his hometown for a drink and invite relatives from his hometown? Friends have a meal and tell everyone that she is married... But Zhao Dongjuan is not willing to go back, forget it, now my dad and the others have decided not to hold a banquet."
"This saves a lot of things." Guan Baiyu said.
"It saves trouble, but my dad is not too happy and feels a little ashamed." Shi Zhen said.
Shi Dalin still had an old idea. His stepdaughter suddenly married herself outside, and she refused to go back to her hometown to hold a banquet, as if she had an opinion on him... Although Zhao Dongjuan did have an opinion on him, the older generation did not want to. Let friends and family know about this.
After Guan Baiyu got home, he put down the things in his hands, packed them up, and took out a few snacks from his schoolbag for Shi Zhen: "Brother, I bought these in Changxi City. It is said that they are very delicious. You can try them. ."
Shi Zhen looked at the pile of snacks, a little funny.
There are quite a variety of these snacks, including vacuum-packed braised chicken legs, fluffy bread, as well as ham, bubble gum, shrimp chips, lollipops and drinks.
Guan Baiyu likes to eat snacks. He also liked to buy snacks in his previous life, so he would eat them when he bought them.
At that time, he always felt that the snacks were eaten by children, and it was okay for women to eat them. He, a big man, should not eat these.
But it really tasted... It tasted really good.
Speaking of which, for a while, he didn't really understand why those people liked to buy that iced black tea. He thought that black tea should not be sold so expensively... After Guan Baiyu gave him a taste, he realized that it was not what he imagined at all. , Ordinary black tea is sweet.
"What snacks did you buy me? Eat them yourself."
"Brother, can you try it! It's all delicious! How about half of us?" Guan Baiyu said.
"You can eat it... Have you ever eaten?" Shi Zhen asked. Guan Baiyu saved money quite a bit. Although he got 5,000 yuan, he felt that Guan Baiyu might not be willing to buy it.
In his last life, he gave Guan Baiyu more money, and Guan Baiyu didn't spend it indiscriminately. When he had no money, he took it out and borrowed it from him.
Guan Baiyu said: "I haven't eaten... So we are all half and half, brother, if you don't eat, I won't eat either."
Shi Zhen was in a trance. Guan Baiyu in his previous life also said this.
They eat a lot of snacks.
Shi Zhen didn't refuse in the end, and then saw Guan Baiyu unpack the bread and give him half of it.
The taste of this bread is not very good, it has the smell of artificial flavor, but Guan Baiyu has never eaten it before, and his eyes are squinted when he eats it with happiness.
After eating, Guan Baiyu also took apart a few bubble gums and ate them with him: "Brother, this one can blow bubbles, let's see who blows the most."
Shi Zhen chewed helplessly—what a child!
Guan Baiyu looked at Shi Zhen and wanted to touch Shi Zhen's face.
However, this action was a bit too much, so I didn't do it.
He will give his brother something delicious first, and then he will be nicer to his brother.
Guan Baiyu thought so, taking advantage of the free time in the afternoon, he just took off Shi Zhen's quilt and washed it, and said, "Brother, your bed can be made separately from them, so it's clean!"
Shi Xinghuo and Shi Xingchao's quilts look dirty!
"The house is small, that's all it takes." Shi Zhen said, "I'll tidy it up when they move out after the new year."
Guan Baiyu's eyes lit up immediately: "Are they going to move out?"
"Well, Brother Xingchao will pick up my uncle and aunt after the year." Shi Zhen said.
Although Shi Xingchao was stingy, he was still reliable. In his previous life, his uncle and aunt were also taken care of by Shi Xingchao.
However, Shi Xingchao and his wife couldn't say anything. His uncle and aunt couldn't see it. In addition, he bought endowment insurance for his uncle and aunt. Each of them could get a pension of 2,000 yuan a month. I lived with Shi Xingchao, and lived with my youngest daughter, and brought children to my youngest daughter.
"That's how it should be. It's inconvenient to let the old man live in the mountains!" Guan Baiyu particularly agreed with this point.
Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu chatted for a long time, from the things they encountered to the interesting things that happened recently in the village.
They chatted endlessly, as if there were endless things to say. In the end, Shi Zhen felt that there was no end to talking like this, so he said: "I'll go to Xingchao to have a look, and buy a chicken by the way."
"Okay." Guan Baiyu laughed, every time he came home, Shi Zhen wanted to kill chickens and ducks...
After Shi Zhen left, Guan Baiyu thought for a while, took out 4,000 yuan from his schoolbag, wrapped it in a letter, and walked to Guanguang Country.
Guan Guangguo is quite stubborn. He has been raising chickens, but he has not raised enough chickens.
As soon as Guan Baiyu arrived at the door of his house, he smelled an unpleasant smell. At the same time, he also saw Zhang Xiumei who was sitting at the door embroidering clothes.
He was also taught to call Zhang Xiumei's mother when he was a child, but when he got older, he knew the specific situation, and Guan Jinjin forbid him to call him, so he stopped calling him.
"Well... I'll pay back the money." Guan Baiyu said.
"Repay the money?" Zhang Xiumei was stunned.
"I wrote you an IOU before." Guan Baiyu said.
On the IOU, a total of 4,000 yuan was written.
When he went to primary school in the 1980s, the tuition fee was still very cheap. The first semester was only ten yuan or twenty yuan. Later, the tuition fee gradually increased. In the third year of junior high, it only increased to two hundred per semester. From grandma.
He didn't spend 4,000 yuan for his studies. The 4,000 yuan actually included Guan Guangguo and the others who raised him so much.
The amount of money Guan Guangguo and the others spent on him, plus the food they gave him, was actually not necessarily four thousand.
"You said the four thousand... Your brother has already paid it back." Zhang Xiumei said.
Guan Baiyu was stunned: "My brother has returned?"
Zhang Xiumei said: "Yes, I paid it back last month. My chickens were at a loss, and life was not easy. He asked me a few questions. After I said it, he returned the money to me."
Guan Baiyu did not speak.
Zhang Xiumei bowed her head and embroidered the clothes, and said, "He is very kind to you. Don't forget his kindness to you in the future."
Zhang Xiumei used to dislike Guan Baiyu because Guan Baiyu spent his family's money.
But since Shi Zhen gave the 4,000 yuan and she still made a lot of money from Shi Zhen, she no longer has any hostility towards Guan Baiyu.
Guan Baiyu was raised by her mother-in-law when she was a child. They spent nothing on Guan Baiyu at that time, and Guan Baiyu will not spend any of their money in the future... Just be an ordinary relative!
At this moment, Zhang Xiumei thought about how Guan Baiyu took care of her mother-in-law when she was in bed for two years.
"I won't forget it." Guan Baiyu felt that his nose was a little blocked.
Zhang Xiumei said again: "By the way, your brother still wants to move your household registration out, you know? I can't wait for this."
Guan Baiyu didn't know about this, but he didn't reject it. He even thought of something - does his brother want to put them in a household registration book
That's fine too.
He and his brother will always be family.
Thinking of this, Guan Baiyu felt a little bored in his heart.
Guan Baiyu took the money and went home again.
He didn't expect that he wanted to pay back the money, but he didn't pay it back.
He didn't tell Shi Zhen that he borrowed 4,000 yuan, but Shi Zhen actually helped him pay it back.
When Shi Zhen came back with the chicken, Guan Baiyu found a clean sheet and quilt cover and put it on for him.
He took a knife and a bowl, and said to Guan Baiyu: "Xiaoyu, come and help me catch the chicken.
He catches the chicken in one hand and holds the knife in the other, and he can kill the chicken, but he can't pick up the blood of the chicken - the chicken will struggle.
To catch the blood, it is best to have one person control the chicken with both hands, and the other to kill the chicken with a knife to catch the blood.
Guan Baiyu still has the power to bind the chicken. He cooperated with Shi Zhen to kill the chicken, and then watched Shi Zhen pour hot water on the chicken and pluck the chicken's feathers: "Brother, you helped me pay back the four thousand yuan, why? Didn't you tell me?"
"I wanted to tell you, but I forgot." Shi Zhen smiled.
He really forgot to say it.
He always remembered the money, but he didn't pay it back when he didn't have the money at the beginning.
Recently, he has become much more comfortable with money. In addition, Guanguang lost money in raising chickens, so he paid the money back.
This is what happened last month. Before he could figure out how to tell Guan Baiyu, a lot of things happened and he forgot if he was not careful.
Shi Zhen's speech was insipid, but Guan Baiyu's mood was very complicated. He glanced at Shi Zhen and began to think about how to use the five thousand yuan in his hand.
He wholesales some stationery and sells it in the school. He doesn't need so much money at all. In fact, his own savings are enough.
And the money... he wanted to do something else.
Speaking of which, he really had an idea.
This idea came to him after he bought stationery for a week.
Nowadays, they use iron stationery boxes to hold pens.
But this kind of stationery box opens and closes during class, and the sound is very loud, which the teacher does not like.
Forget it, these stationery boxes, when he was in elementary school, even cost ten yuan each, when they were in rural schools, almost no one could afford them.
Now everyone earns a lot more, and the cheapest stationery box has dropped to three or four yuan a piece. Everyone can afford it, but it cannot be said that it is cheap.
In fact, there are other things that can replace the stationery box.
He didn't have a stationery box when he was a child, so he kept his pens in a bag he sewed out of cloth.
Could he go to a clothing factory and make some pencil cases with strong fabrics and zippers
If the cartoon pattern can be printed on it, it will definitely sell well!
