She read so many books and studied so diligently.

Just as Xue Fu trusted Gu Chong, Gu Chong also felt confident in Xue Fu.

Gu Chong thought she would definitely get her wish and be admitted to Shanghai University.

They were a thousand kilometers apart, and if Gu Chong wanted to see her and be with her, he needed to make money.

Material resources are the foundation, and money is the guarantee.

He wanted to see her. That required making money.

so…

He Luosheng, who has taken the initiative to come to your door wanting to team up, is actually a good candidate to be a tool.

The two men were from the same village. Although they hadn't interacted much in the past, Gu Chong knew He Luosheng's general character.

He Luosheng is intelligent and academically gifted; he is the only high school student in Qingtang Village.

He's intelligent and has decent character; he's not a slacker or a cheat.

The problem is... the He family is in some trouble.

Gu Chong looked at He Luosheng, who had a serious and solemn expression, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Does your family know you're going to do this?"

Unlike him, He Luosheng only had him and Gu Fei in the Gu family. As long as the two of them were well-fed, the whole family would have no worries.

Without other relatives pointing fingers and gossiping, there's no need to worry about this or that.

He Luosheng is different; in Qingtang Village, He is a common surname.

Of the more than one hundred households, twenty or thirty are surnamed He.

He Luosheng's father is the village secretary, and He Luosheng also has an older brother who is a soldier in the army.

This kind of relationship is very sensitive.

Gu Chong is weighing the risks of He Luosheng joining.

Will the He family's 'connections' ultimately help them cover up their activities, or will they bring trouble upon themselves?

“I haven’t told them, and I don’t plan to mention it,” He Luosheng said firmly.

These words made Gu Chongmei frown sharply: "What if we get found out?"

Both Gu Chong and Zhou Zhi were living alone, and Zhou Zhi also had few relatives.

He Luosheng's idea was simple, but once he started doing it, over time, the people living in the same house would definitely find out.

Because they always have to go out to buy and sell goods in the middle of the night. They also occasionally leave the village for a period of time to go to other provinces and cities to purchase goods. Where do they hide those goods after they bring them back?

These are all problems.

He Luosheng realized what Gu Chong was worried about: "If we get caught, I'll take responsibility myself."

"But do you know which way the wind is blowing up there?"

He Luosheng lowered his voice.

His father was the Party Secretary, and lately he had been going to meetings in the commune and county town a lot. Although his father wouldn't talk about the contents of those meetings at home, He Luosheng was smart enough to guess the contents of the documents and production plans his father looked at after returning from the meetings.

He Luosheng has sources of information.

"The higher-ups might be loosening restrictions." He casually dropped a bombshell: "The village might no longer be able to do collective labor."

Gu Chong suddenly lifted his eyelids.

In fact, Gu Chong and Zhou Zhi had also sensed a hint of loosening restrictions in their business dealings over the past two months.

The black market is becoming increasingly loose.

For a long time, no one came to investigate.

Several major events also occurred in the country.

The resumption of the college entrance examination is also one of the signals.

However, without concrete documents and accurate sources, Gu Chong and Zhou Zhi could only keep these speculations to themselves and continue to conduct business cautiously.

But these rumors, which were both true and false, gave Gu Chong more confidence.

Now this has been confirmed by He Luosheng; there are officials in his family.

Gu Chong stared at He Luosheng for a few seconds, but couldn't detect any joking expression on his face.

Gu Chong smiled, a slight curve to his lips, and extended his hand: "Alright. Let's do it together then."

This can be considered as agreeing to partner with He Luosheng.

"Come over at 11 p.m., I'll introduce you to someone else."

"good."

Xue Fu wasn't actually that nervous when the college entrance exam was reinstated.

She already had more than half a year of study time than others, giving her a significant head start.

However, the intense study atmosphere made her feel like she was back in her senior year of high school, preparing for the final 100 days of the college entrance exam, and she became nervous and anxious as well.

There are about ten people from their newspaper who have registered for the college entrance examination.

They were all high school graduates in recent years who joined the newspaper right after graduation.

Now that people have the opportunity to go to university, there are still many who yearn for it and are willing to give up their current jobs to take the college entrance examination and go to university.

Every day when Xue Fu goes to work, she sees everyone sitting at their desks with a high school textbook in hand, reviewing their lessons.

In the past, the newspaper office was almost deserted by the time people left work.

But even now, after get off work hours, the newspaper office is still packed with people. Because the office has electric lights, people can study there all night long, turning the office into a 24-hour study room.

The people around her were too ambitious, and Xue Fu was forced to join the vortex of the vortex.

Even after get off work, she continued to do practice problems, memorize texts, and read books at her workstation.

Wang Qing, who works at the front desk, even organized a study group and pulled Xue Fu into it, agreeing to study together on their days off.

This study group has five people in total: Xue Fu, Wang Qing, Wang Qing's boyfriend, and two other boys who work at a newspaper, Li Yan and Wang Jianrui.

Wang Qing had a good relationship with the newspaper's security guard, so she borrowed the key to the newspaper's main gate from him, allowing them to go in and study on weekends.

During this period, Xue Fu spent her days off studying at the newspaper office with the five-person group.

There is strength in numbers, and they can ask each other questions and discuss any knowledge points they don't understand.

Xue Fu is fine in other subjects, but she gets stuck on history and philosophy questions.

This is where her weakness as a time traveler is exposed.

She wasn't born and raised here, and she wasn't someone who received the ideological education of this era.

Although Xue Fu had tried her best to memorize those rules and regulations, her choice of words and phrases still revealed an awkwardness, like that of an outsider.

Among the group of five, there was a boy named Li Yan who was very good at answering questions in this area.

This young man works in the newspaper doing writing; he's in charge of the ideological education section. He's written a lot of propaganda articles in the past, and his thinking is very mature. He taught Xue Fu a lot of test-taking skills.

Xue Fu received a lot of help.

Xue Fu also has her own strengths; her math and foreign language skills are outstanding among the group.

She, in turn, shared many important points with them, helping each other out.

“Hey, Xue Fu.”

When she went to the restroom with Wang Qing, Wang Qing leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't you think Li Yan has feelings for you?"
