After Lu Wensheng left, Li Laizi did some calculations on the ground. When he figured it out, he turned his head and looked towards the main house, and said angrily:
"Humph, if I ever become rich, the first thing I'm going to do is divorce that bitch!"
He's just an educated youth, yet he wants to shit on my head.
Ever since Zhao Ying's child was lost, she has become like a different person.
She is even more of a shrew than his mother. She controls everything and sets a set time for herself to get up every day. If she is one minute late, she will beat her.
The main reason was that he didn't dare to fight back, because that woman was really going to fight him to the death.
He will never forget the first time they fought, Zhao Ying said sinisterly:
"Either you beat me to death, or you never let me touch a kitchen knife in my life, or you never sleep again!"
What could Li Laizi do? He was originally a weak person, and after being frightened by Zhao Ying, he dared not act rashly and could only obey her.
He has had a hard time these past two years...
But now it’s different. Li Aibao has a chance to turn the tables. Once the situation turns around, he will kick that bitch out the first moment!
Let her see how powerful I am, so that she won't look down on me because she is an educated youth.
So Li Laizi did not sleep the whole night. He quietly dragged the basket of books into the kitchen, tied up the books one by one with straw ropes under the light of the kerosene lamp, and carried two sets of review materials to the educated youth point overnight.
He took a small amount to test the waters first, and as for the rest, he hid it all in the firewood pile. These things must not be discovered by anyone.
Youth Point
Since the news of resuming the college entrance examination during the day came out, the entire educated youth site is still brightly lit and no one is sleeping at all.
The college entrance examination has been resumed! I'm so excited!
This means that as long as all of them work hard to get into university, they can escape from their current life and no longer have to dig in the soil for food and depend on the villagers for their opinions.
So every educated youth was very excited. They firmly believed that after graduating from high school, it would be a sure thing for them to get into a university!
but……
"But the most important thing now is that we don't have textbooks and review materials. I heard that Li Zhenxing went to the commune today and didn't even bring back a piece of paper, let alone us outsiders who are unfamiliar with the place!"
"I ran into Li Sihai when I got off work in the afternoon. He said that it was hard to find a copy of the review materials in the county. You couldn't buy one even if you had money. The Xinhua Bookstore was selling them for more than 20 yuan."
"What should we do? The exam is less than two months away. We can't just sit there and wait. Even if we get a set, it's better than nothing!"
"I'll take a day off tomorrow and go to the city to have a look. How much money do you have? We'd better pool our money together and buy as many houses as possible."
Finally, it was Zhang Zhiping who suggested it. Actually, he didn't want to share a set with these people, but he was really short of money at the moment. After searching all over his body, he only had five dollars. Let alone review materials, he probably couldn't even buy a set of test papers with five dollars.
The remaining few people didn't have any better idea, so they could only bite the bullet and pool their money together. After a round, they managed to collect twenty-two dollars.
As the head of the educated youth camp, Zhang Zhiping put the money directly into his own pocket without hesitation:
"I'll go into town tomorrow and look around. I should be able to buy a set of information with these twenty bucks. If there's really nothing I can do."
The rest of the people didn't hold out much hope, how could it be that easy!
Just when everyone was sighing and at a loss, Li Laizi, holding a book, knocked on the door of the educated youth center, panting.
He asked stealthily, "Do you want to review the materials? Spot on!"
Everyone was stunned at first, then gathered around, their eyes full of suspicion and shock.
Is there really such a thing as giving someone a pillow when they are sleepy? I'm afraid it's a trap, right?
Zhang Zhiping was the first to speak: "Are you sure it's review materials? How do you know if it's real or fake when you can't even read? Are you trying to trick us?"
Li Laizi remembered what his aunt had told him: "It's not a good deal if you're chasing after someone."
Seeing Zhang Zhiping's doubt, he turned around and was about to leave: "It's up to you whether you want it or not. How can I worry about selling my book now? I originally thought that since we are from the same village, I should give it to you first. But now it's gone, I was just being too sentimental!"
When everyone saw that he was really leaving, their doubts were somewhat dispelled. Seeing how confident he was, they knew that if he really let the person go, they would have no place to cry.
"No, brother, don't go. Review materials are in short supply right now. It's normal for me to be suspicious. How about you show it to me first?"
Zhang Zhiping was also afraid that he really did have it, so when he saw him about to leave, he quickly lowered his posture.
Li Laizi felt relieved instantly. He opened the small bundle with a proud look on his face, took out two sets of review materials and placed them on the table:
"Hmph. Open your eyes and take a good look. I, Li Laizi, am an honest man. If I say there is something, then it is there!"
Everyone looked at the hand-bound books he threw on the table, and picked them up to examine them with a suspicious look on their faces.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it, but you’ll be shocked when you do!
Oh my god, this really is review material, but it’s a handwritten photocopy.
At this time when books are hard to come by, even hand-copied copies are not cheap.
Zhang Zhiping became more and more excited as he read, and finally he couldn't let the book go and hugged it tightly in his arms, saying excitedly:
"Li Laizi, where did you get these books? Do you have any more? How do you want to sell them?"
Li Laizi had no time to answer his irrelevant questions, and said impatiently:
"Then it's none of your business, just tell me whether you want it or not!"
"Yes, yes, yes. If the price is right, we'll take both sets!"
You can get review materials without going into the city or competing with others. Only a fool would not want them!
Naturally, everyone was eager to get it and asked about the price.
Li Laizi rolled his eyes and asked for the highest price:
"Since we are from the same team, I will give you 12 yuan per set!
But I have a condition, you can't go out and say I sold it to you, and you can't tell me the price."
If the aunt hadn't told him to sell it at a higher price, he would have wanted twenty yuan a set!
"Why don't you go rob the money?" Zhang Zhiping blurted out.
Li Laizi snatched the book from Zhang Zhiping's arms and said disdainfully:
"If you think it's too expensive, go buy it in the city!"
As he was about to take the review materials from other people, he was nimbly avoided by them.
Although it seems expensive, I still grit my teeth and accept it in order to get into university.
"We want it!"
Soon, everyone discussed it and collected twenty-four yuan, handed it to Li Laizi, and said in a flattering manner:
"Comrade Li, if you have a test paper, could you please send one over..."
There's no other way. Li Laizi is the one holding their lifeblood, so of course he has to be humble.
Li Laizi responded perfunctorily, then left the educated youth site with the money in his pocket, feeling anxious and worried.
Holding the freshly-earned twenty-four dollars in his hand, he still felt a little unreal. It was the first time in his life that he knew money was so easy to make!
