Chapter 98 As November arrived, the weather in Liaoning Province gradually turned cold.
Those educated youth who were initially excited about the resumption of the college entrance examination gradually lost interest after a month of studying.
"I'm not taking the exam anymore, it's pointless." In the utterly silent dormitory of the educated youth, everyone's brows were furrowed, with only the rustling of pages turning.
But as this voice rang out, many educated youth put down their books, and a layer of sorrow appeared on their faces.
"I'm not taking the exam either."
"I don't want to take the exam anymore!"
The sounds rose and fell in the dormitory of the educated youth.
"What's the point of taking the exam? I'm already 25 years old, and I haven't touched a textbook in seven or eight years. I don't think I have any hope in just two months."
The person who said this was Wei Chengmin, the eldest brother in the educated youth dormitory. He was among the first batch of educated youth to come to Jianguo Brigade.
"The key issue is that we don't even have textbooks to review. The review materials we have now are all cobbled together from various sources, and they're not complete at all." The speaker was another male educated youth, his face full of resentment, whether directed at himself or something else, it was unclear.
"I heard that there is a complete set of past exam questions for math, physics and chemistry on the market now. The questions in it are all created by those academic bigwigs themselves. If we had that book, we could study much more efficiently."
"You make it sound nice, but I had my mom look for it, and she couldn't get one at all. Forget about the original, there weren't even any printed copies."
A young man who seemed to come from a much better family said, his face full of bitterness.
His family lives in the city of HA and is well-off. He is also the only child in the family. Even so, his parents went to great lengths but still couldn't find this set of books for him.
The college entrance examination had just been reinstated, and not only did they want to take it back, but those educated youth from well-off families also wanted to take it back, including some wealthy young people who wanted to improve their education.
The educated youth all looked bitter, their faces full of distress as they looked at the books in their hands.
Are they destined to be trapped in this foreign land?
The few people who had just shouted that they were not going to study anymore threw down their books and walked outside.
Upon opening the door, a row of neatly dressed female educated youths stood outside.
"Wang Xuan, what do you female educated youths mean by this? It's not even lunchtime yet!"
After saying that, as if to verify his idea, the person even squeezed out of the gap and glanced at the sky.
The leading female educated youth, Wang Xuan, was speechless upon seeing this.
What time is it? You're still thinking about food.
"I know someone who has this complete set of math, physics, and chemistry textbooks!"
"What?"
The male educated youths inside the house all hurried to the door, looking at Wang Xuan with expectant expressions.
...
"You mean you want to borrow this complete set of math, physics, and chemistry books that I have?" Jiang Xixi sat at the table, gently tapping the glass ornament in front of her with her finger, looking at the woman in front of her with a half-smile.
“Yes, I’m here on behalf of all of us educated youth to borrow these materials. I heard Aunt Wei mention that you have a lot of review materials.”
Wang Xuan told the truth, her expression somewhat uneasy.
She didn't know if the girl would lend it to her, but regardless, she was willing to try, even for the slightest possibility.
"Yes, I do have some, but why should I lend it to you?"
As you can see, my husband and I are also reviewing, and we really need this set of books.” Jiang Xixi’s smile was sweet, but her words were anything but polite.
Actually, Xixi also had some concerns.
She had heard about the group of educated youth at the educated youth settlement.
Although many of them were of decent character, there are always bad apples in every place, and she was able to borrow from them.
But she's afraid someone will stab her in the back.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan's face turned deathly pale. Her lips trembled a few times, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't.
"I'm sorry." Wang Xuan stood up and walked outside.
Years of hard work have hunched the girl's back, and the glimmer of hope in her heart has vanished; even her silhouette exudes a sense of desolation.
Suddenly, Jiang Xixi's tone took an unexpected turn.
"If you can agree to one condition, I can lend you this set of books..."
