Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

He came to work on the eighth day of the eighth day, and worked for a total of six days until the fourteenth day, but the shopkeeper Yan counted 280 copper coins for him.

"Boss, is this..." Zhang Shu held the copper plate with doubts on his face.

"You have worked so long this morning, and you deserve it." Shopkeeper Yan really hoped that Lao Li would stop doing it. Zhang Shu is too hardworking, if he can keep him in the store, he can have a lot of leisure time .

"Then thank you, Shopkeeper Yan!" It's always good to get more money, anyway, it's not a scam, Zhang Shu thanked him with a smile on his face.

"By the way, the Eldest Young Master made a special confession when he left. Although you have only come these few days, I have to give you a share of the holiday expenses." After finishing speaking, he counted out another 50 copper coins.

Zhang Shu took the money and smiled.A few words that day were not in vain, no, another day's wages were in vain.However, during the few days of keeping accounts here, he also discovered that this grocery store is really profitable.

The purchase price is not high, and the selling price is almost a [-]/[-] profit, and some are more than that.

There is a big river outside their Anping County. If you sail from here, you can enter the sea in about a day or two, and then walk along the sea to reach Nanhai County.

Nanhai County is the trading port of their country, extending in all directions, and merchants from all over the world will go there to conduct business transactions.The owner of the Nantong grocery store also owns such a fleet.

Zhang Shu had a heavy bag of copper coins in his arms, and originally wanted to leave like this, and then went to the Lin's Inn to wait for Laiwang and the others to go back together, and they did it this morning.

But he thought again, if he made money by going out, and it happened to be the holiday season, it would be unreasonable not to buy something for the family to go home.So he weighed two catties of melon seeds, one catty of peanuts, one bag of maltose and a few pieces of dried persimmons to Shopkeeper Yan.

Shopkeeper Yan generously gave him a discount, which was only a little more expensive than the purchase price, after all, he had shipped it all the way.The shopkeeper Yan thought that he couldn't buy much by himself, and that he might be able to help a little bit if he had a good friendship next time.

Zhang Shu knew what he meant, and he was only grateful.After thanking shopkeeper Yan repeatedly, he left the grocery store with a basket on his back and the guy who had gone to the city to beg for a living.

When he came out, Xiaohu reluctantly said goodbye to him, but before he could say a few words, that accountant Li yelled over there.Xiaohu rolled his eyes, talked to Zhang Shu a few more words before going in.

It was almost noon after this delay, Zhang Shu hurriedly walked towards the Lin's Inn, and before he reached the alley, he saw Lai Wang and others coming out with their things.

"You boy, we also said to look for you. It's just right to come out of the city. I told Uncle Lin."

Zhang Shu was too embarrassed to keep people waiting for too long.He saw that there was a steamed bun seller on the side of the road, so he bought [-] big steamed buns wrapped in oil paper for seven Wen, saying that they would make everyone eat when they were hungry on the road.

The expressions on the faces of the two or three people who waited impatiently are much better. Although they have made some money this time, how can they live without spending money?Seeing that this year's tax will be paid soon, if you don't save a little, you will wait for the whole family to starve in winter.

Zhou Da and Lai Wang looked at him in disapproval, didn't they just wait for a while?Why spend so much money on buns?

Yu Xiaoliu is a big-hearted fellow, he was only happy to have buns, and didn't realize the meaning behind it at all.

Zhang Shu just smiled. Favors are a quantity, and if they are not replenished, they will become less and less. If they can be replenished with some money, he feels nothing.

Halfway through the journey, several people sat down in the shade of a tree. Some ate some steamed buns at noon, while others didn't eat at all. After such a long journey, they were really tired.

Zhang Shu took out the steamed stuffed bun right now. It was stuffed with green vegetables mixed with oily residue. The owner was honest and the skin was not thin. It looked as big as an adult man's fist. Two of them would make you full.

Yu Xiaoliu, the youngest in the group, saw that everyone was hungry and thirsty, so he took the initiative to fetch water from a mountain spring in front of him.

Just drinking the cold and sweet mountain spring water and eating the delicious big buns, everyone felt that their strength seemed to have returned.

After eating and drinking enough, someone began to ask Zhang Shu, "What do you do in that grocery store, kid?"

Zhang Shu smiled, "It's just moving and resisting, just do it if you have work."

"How much wages a day?"

"It's about the same as everyone else." Zhang Shu replied with a good temper, seeing that they were satisfied, he sighed inwardly.

When these people were recruited last time, he was listening by the side. The recruiters were all ordinary people, and there were many people coming to the city to do part-time jobs during the holidays. This time, they basically paid twenty coppers for food. Accommodation, or 25 Wen does not include room and board.If you let them know that Zhang Shu earns forty copper coins a day including board and lodging, I don’t know what they will think!

Anyway, it's good to know in your heart about making money.

After resting enough, everyone stood up and continued on their way. They stopped and stopped all the way, and finally returned to the village around dinner time.

Grandma Zhang always leaned against the door to look outside. Although she knew that Zhang Shu would definitely come back today, she was always worried that he would be delayed by something or that he might encounter danger on the way.

Seeing two people walking this way from a distance, Grandma Zhang immediately became happy. She wanted to go out to pick them up, but she remembered that she hadn't put out the food yet. .

While she was hesitating, Zhang Shu got closer and closer, saw her standing at the door, and shouted from afar, "Grandma, I'm back!"

"It's good to be back! It's good to be back!" Grandma Zhang looked him up and down, her eyes were right and wrong, "Oh, I lost weight!"

Zhang Shu laughed, "Grandma, I've only been there for six or seven days."

"Is there a home outside? You must have lost weight. Go in and eat first, take a shower after dinner and have a good sleep." Grandma Zhang patted Zhang Shu on the back and let him in.

At the dinner table, Zhang Shu was chomping at the food. He hadn't eaten for a few days, so he really missed it!

The eyes of Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang were full of kind smiles. They didn't move their chopsticks very much, they just watched Zhang Shu eat.

Now the old couple are the only ones in the house. Once Zhang Shu leaves, they will be deserted.In the past, when the second eldest couple was around, they were somewhat popular.However, they didn't think about letting the second child back, they just thought that Zhang Shu's major affairs should be taken care of.

"Ashu, is your sweetheart Li Jiajin'er?" Grandpa Zhang asked suddenly.

"...cough, cough, cough..." Zhang Shu choked on a mouthful of food, almost breathless, his face flushed from choking.He immediately rushed off the table and coughed loudly.

Grandma Zhang hit Grandpa Zhang, and then immediately followed him to pat him on the back.

"Grandpa, why do you ask such a question suddenly?"

"I just thought, you are old enough to marry your husband. We don't know how long we can live. If you get married early, you can take care of your children and so on." It is rare for Grandpa Zhang to say so much.

Zhang Shu thought that his grandma passed away when he was 26, and he is now eighteen, so they still have eight years to live.Thinking of it this way, he felt sad, thinking that he would never see these two kind old people again, his eyes were already astringent.

"Grandma, I like Hibiscus, and I want to marry him as my husband." Zhang Shu formally expressed his heart in front of his grandma.

"Okay, after August [-]th, I'll invite a matchmaker to bring things to Mu Jin's house to propose marriage." For young women, use a matchmaker, and for younger brothers, use a matchmaker.

Zhang Shu's heart was burning, and the wish of the two lifetimes was about to come true!He really wants to see Little Hibiscus now, and tell him what's on his mind!

After eating and taking a bath, lying on his own bed, Zhang Shu's mood not only didn't sink, but got higher and higher.He went out and looked around, and saw that grandma had already entered the room to rest, so he couldn't bear it any longer, so he quietly climbed out from the low wall of the yard.

He had never done such a bold thing in two lifetimes, and Zhang Shu's heart was beating wildly, for fear of being seen by others.But he was worrying too much, because the villagers went to bed very early in order to save money for oil lamps, and now there was no one outside.

Walking at night, surrounded by darkness, accompanied by the occasional cry of insects and the sound of the night wind passing through the woods, it still sounds a bit scary.

But Zhang Shu had only one thought in his mind, and he didn't pay attention to these things at all.In fact, even if he noticed, he wouldn't care. He discovered it when he was a ghost. There are no other ghosts in this world. People are reincarnated after death, so who will stay in the world.Even if there are those who stay in the human world, they are all useless ghosts like him. You know, people are much more ruthless than ghosts.

When he arrived at Li Mujin's house, he was in trouble.Li Mujin is at the end of the village, and there are many animals near the foot of the mountain. In order to prevent these animals from entering, the fence of his house was built very high. According to his three-legged cat skills, even if he jumped in, he would be killed by Li Yan or Li Mujin immediately. Dad took it out.

Zhang Shu walked around the wall a few times, and finally his fiery heart was a little heavy. He went around the wall near Li Mujin's room, and imitated the cuckoo, and the cry of "cuckoo cuckoo" sounded in the silent night , sounds particularly clear.

Li Mujin was tossing and turning on the bed, it was still early, he couldn't sleep at all.He is missing a person in his heart, and he knows that person should come back today, because tomorrow is the holiday.

His ears perked up suddenly, as if he heard something, but he felt it was impossible.

Li Mujin laughed at herself in her heart, she must have missed Zhang Shu so much, that's why she felt that the voice was the "sign" of the two of them.

Close your eyes and prepare to fall asleep, but the cuckoo's voice is too clear.It was so clear that he didn't think it was his hallucination.

Turning over suddenly from the bed, Li Mujin quietly went out the door.Following the sound to the wall, Li Mujin stretched out her fingers and tapped lightly twice.

"!" Zhang Shu originally only wanted to relieve lovesickness, and he hoped that Li Mujin could hear it.But when Li Mujin really heard and responded, he felt so incredible and happy.

Two young people, separated by a wall, on one side was the cry of "Bugu Bugu", and on the other side was the sound of "Kukou" knocking on the wall.Neither of them spoke, quietly enjoying this moment of soul-to-heart connection.

……

Li Yan turned over, covered his head with the pillow, snorted, "Two idiots!" Then, he closed his eyes and tried hard to fall asleep.
