"It's okay." Li Wenxiu smiled gently, "You don't have to be so cautious. We will live together for three years. If everyone is as cautious as you, we won't be able to get along with each other in the future."
Liang Rong was also a little awkward. "You've been sitting for the whole afternoon. Are you tired? Why don't you take a break?"
Before, Liang Rong looked down on Yu Juanhua's unpresentable appearance. Just now, she had finally fallen asleep, but was woken up by Yu Juanhua coming in.
Originally Liang Rong was very unhappy, but in order not to disturb them, Yu Juanhua sat on the bed for the whole afternoon without making any sound. Liang Rong thought Yu Juanhua was quite nice.
At first, when she pushed the door open, she didn't know they were sleeping. Later, after she found out, she stopped making any noise.
Yu Juanhua was a little flattered when she heard Liang Rong's words. She stared blankly with her eyes wide open and nodded. Liang Rong saw this and rolled her eyes again.
Liang Rong glanced at Yu Juanhua's desk and said, "Hey! Did you go get the book? If you didn't, we'll go with you!"
There was nothing on Yu Juanhua's desk. There was only a wooden basin, a towel with holes in it, and a piece of clothing full of patches in the cabinet, but no books for class.
Yu Juanhua was stunned for a moment, "No, I don't need a book."
The books are too expensive. Her family has already emptied out for her to go to school, and she won't be willing to spend money on books anymore. What's more, textbooks cost a lot every semester, so she would save as much money as possible.
This time it was Liang Rong and Li Wenxiu who were stunned. "No books? Then how are you going to attend class?"
Yu Juanhua blushed a little, "Can you lend me the book? I'll copy it down, that'll be all."
"Copying books? There are so many books. How long will it take you to finish copying them?"
"Besides, you need a lot of notebooks and pens to copy books, right? The money to buy notebooks is not cheaper than the price of buying a book, right?"
Liang Rong and Li Wenxiu had seen people from poor families before, but they had never seen anyone who would think of copying books for use.
"I use newspaper to copy books!" Yu Juanhua was a little nervous at first, worried that her classmates would look down on her. But when she saw that Liang Rong and Li Wenxiu only had doubts in their eyes, not contempt, she felt relieved. "Newspaper is cheap! I can also use charcoal to copy books. Don't worry, I won't dirty the books. I will definitely take good care of them."
"That's not the reason!" Liang Rong felt a little complicated after hearing what Yu Juanhua said. "The words are already printed on the newspaper. If you write on it, the words will be so messy. And how long will it take you to copy all the textbooks? You won't be able to read them clearly. We can use one textbook. We are in the same class anyway."
Everyone in their dormitory is in the same class, so it is very convenient for them to use textbooks.
"It's okay!" Yu Juanhua smiled. These problems were trivial to her. Compared with spending money, the time spent was acceptable to her. "I don't have much to do. I can even consider copying books as studying."
"Juanhua, do you know that some people in the scrap station in the county might be able to sell these textbooks? Why don't you go to the scrap station and look around, maybe you can find a few books. This will save you some trouble and allow you to copy fewer books. I also found my junior high school textbooks in the scrap station in the county, and I could find a lot of unused books there." Tian Tian said.
Yu Juanhua was stunned. She had never thought of going to the scrap yard to look for textbooks. Even Liang Rong and Li Wenxiu looked at Tian Tian in surprise.
The two of them felt that Tian Tian's family conditions were pretty good, and her father bought all her textbooks for her without saying anything, so why would she go to the scrap yard to choose textbooks?
"Are the textbooks from the scrap yard expensive?" This is the question that Yu Juanhua is most concerned about.
"It's not expensive! The price of textbooks is the same as that of waste newspapers. Instead of buying newspapers to copy books, you might as well see if you can find textbooks." Tian Tian was very knowledgeable about this and directly suggested that Yu Juanhua go to the scrap yard to look around. Who knows, she might find some treasure.
Yu Juanhua was a little tempted. "Then I'll go to the scrap yard to have a look? But I don't know where the scrap yard is."
"I'll go with you. I don't have anything to do this afternoon anyway. I'm just staying in the dormitory, so I might as well go for a walk." Tian Tian said.
"Then I'll go with you!" Liang Rong also wanted to join in the fun. She came from a well-off family and had never been to a scrapyard. She was also very curious, "Wenxiu! Do you want to go with us?"
Li Wenxiu hesitated for a while. She was not curious about the scrap station. It was common for her family to go to the scrap station to pick up useful things. They had a table in their home that they had picked up from the scrap station and repaired and used for many years. But seeing that everyone else was going to the scrap station, she nodded and said, "Then I'll go too."
Everyone packed up their things, and since the dormitory door was not locked, they took a small lock and locked all their lockers.
Tian Tian didn't have this idea at first, because all her valuables were placed inside the shell, and the outside were all daily necessities. However, after thinking about the scarcity of supplies in this era, she found a padlock and locked the cabinet.
Then the four of them went to the scrap station together. The original owner often went to the scrap station to look for things when she was in junior high school, and she could remember the way to the scrap station with her eyes closed.
The old man guarding the door was still Grandpa Sun from before. Grandpa Sun had good eyesight. He spotted Tian Tian at first sight and greeted her.
"You haven't been here for a long time. I left a lot of homework books for you. I picked out the clean ones. Do you want some?"
Tian Tian smiled and said, "I'm in the county now to attend high school. I'll be able to come visit you often in the future."
"Really? Tian Tian will be a high school student in the future."
"By the way, Grandpa Sun, do you have any high school textbooks? My classmate wants to buy some high school textbooks and notebooks from you, can you help us find them?"
"Textbook? I actually have one here! But it seems to have been accidentally torn, and a lot of pages are missing. If you don't mind, I will take out the textbook and give it to you. You can see if there is anything you need." said Old Man Sun.
