October 1977
The busy farming season in Ping'an Brigade has come to an end, and everyone is busy storing food and supplies needed for the winter.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and in this tense and busy atmosphere, an exciting news came from the radio in the brigade headquarters.
On that day, Li Zhenxing was doing a routine check on yesterday's data from the mushroom farm and the pig farm. When he suddenly heard the exciting news on the radio, he excitedly knocked over the water glass at hand.
What? What did he hear? Reinstate the college entrance examination!
Oh my god!
Of course he knew what this meant. If he could get into college...
No! He dared not think about it!!
After calming down a little, Li Zhenxing rushed to the microphone and informed everyone of the news in his slightly trembling voice.
As soon as the news came out, families with children of school age in the Ping'an Brigade were excited, especially the educated youths at the educated youth sites. They were so happy that they cried. They were finally relieved!
At this time, Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling were peeling pine nuts at home.
Before she heard the notice, she was still discussing with Shen Lingling: "It will probably be in the next few days. I will take some time to go to the commune and get a batch of books back. Once the notice comes, we will take action immediately."
Shen Lingling carefully recalled the day when she received the notice of the resumption of the college entrance examination in her previous life, and said:
"It seems to be today..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhenxing's excited and excited voice was heard.
“Here it comes!”
Lu Wensheng immediately stood up from the stool, pushed his bicycle and walked out:
"I'm going to the commune. I'll be back in the evening. You don't have to wait for me to eat!"
"be safe!"
"good!"
In the bungalow rented by Lu Wensheng in the commune, the one who is now in charge is Lu Laoxianer.
Lu Xie went to Beijing with Su Qishan a few months ago. Recently, Lu Laoxianer has been in charge of the printing and binding of books in Hongqi Commune.
As for the one in the city, there are still monkeys and three dogs!
Before Lu Xie left, he was afraid that the old man would be too busy, so he promised them 30% of the profits. So now these two guys are full of energy and there is no need for others to worry about them.
When Lu Wensheng arrived, Lu Laoxianer also learned about the resumption of the college entrance examination through the radio, and was counting the number of people at that moment!
"Grandpa, what's going on?"
"There are almost 10,000 of them. I'll send someone to deliver half of them to the city tonight. You can arrange the rest."
Lu Wensheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep 2,000 copies here and send the rest to the city.
We will print another batch in the next few days, so as not to delay things."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
After arranging the destination of the book, Lu Wensheng discussed the matter of reprinting with Lu Laoxianer:
"Grandpa, now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, the demand for books will definitely increase greatly. We have to speed up and print more."
Lu Laoxian nodded: "I think so too. I will go and tell Tiger and the others to work harder."
Lu Wensheng then considered the sales channels. "In addition to sending books to the city, we can also send people to quietly contact the surrounding brigades to sell the books, especially the educated youth centers and high schools in each brigade. No one should be left out.
Let Tiger and his men find a few more hooligans in town. As long as they don't expose our lair and can sell the books, they can do whatever they want."
Lu Laoxian'er's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. I'll let Monkey and Sangou run around the city more. As for the price..."
"It's just five dollars a set. As for how much they raise the price, it has nothing to do with us. Our main goal is to make small profits but quick turnover.
I'll bring some back later, and I think the teams over there will be able to sell a batch too."
"become!"
The matter was settled in this way. Lu Wensheng took away 500 review materials first, and Lu Laoxianer went to arrange other work.
It was already 8:30 in the evening when she arrived at the village. Lu Wensheng had not been idle along the way. She had been thinking about who to find to ship the goods to.
There was absolutely no way she would take this risk, so after much thought, she had no choice but to look for Li Laizi.
I just got home and discussed this matter with Shen Lingling. As we were talking, there was a noise outside.
It turned out that several young people from the Ping An Brigade came to buy books under the leadership of Li Zhenxing. They were very excited and asked as soon as they came in:
"Lu Zhiqing, do you have any review books? We want to buy some."
Lu Wensheng didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. When she saw Lu Hao cowering in the crowd, she was confused. There would be no one else except this guy!
This damn kid must have let the cat out of the bag when he was showing off outside, which is why a bunch of people came to his house to buy books.
Looking at the people standing at the door, they were all young men with good character in the village. Lu Wensheng thought for a moment and said:
"I didn't get much, so I can only sell you two sets."
"Okay, as long as you have it, we don't mind if it's too little."
As he spoke, Li Zhenxing couldn't wait to take out ten yuan from his pocket:
"Xiaolu, I want a set!"
Today, as soon as he received the notice, he went to the commune excitedly. However, the commune bookstore was crowded. Not to mention review materials, he couldn't even find a piece of paper with words on it.
There was no way he could even squeeze into the scrap yard, so he had no choice but to go back to the village to find a solution.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the Mushroom House, they heard Ma Yingjie boasting to Li Youliang that they had extra review books at home. So, they decided to drag Ma Yingjie here.
If the educated youth Xiaolu refused to sell it to them, they would drag Ma Yingjie out as a hostage.
Hand over the person in one hand and the book in the other!
If Lu Wensheng knew that they still had this idea, he would definitely not sell a single book!
As for redemption or something.
Why bother redeeming her? She doesn't want to spend another day with such a big-mouthed person!
Ma Yingjie didn't know that he had escaped. After sending those people away, he approached Lu Wensheng with a flattering look and said:
"Sister Lu, I didn't mean to do that. I just said that we brought a few extra sets when we came to the countryside. I didn't say that this is the only product of our family..."
Lu Wensheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you're going to say that, just find a rope and tie yourself up!"
"No, I'm not stupid."
Seeing that Sister Lu was not angry, Ma Yingjie felt relieved. He looked at the pile of books in the corner and asked:
"Sister Lu, how do we deal with these?"
Lu Wensheng thought for a moment and replied, "Come with me to Li Laizi's house later. We can't handle these things by ourselves. It's come to this point. If someone reports us, everything will be ruined."
"Is Li Laizi reliable? Will he betray us?" Ma Yingjie was still a little worried.
Lu Wensheng sneered: "Humph, he doesn't have the courage."
She didn't sharpen her knife in vain those few nights. Besides, he had always wanted to make money with her. Now that the opportunity came, he must seize it.
"Okay, then I'll listen to Sister Lu!"
Ma Yingjie made up his mind to be obedient in the next few days. He couldn't let Sister Lu down at this critical moment!
