Chapter 71
After hearing Chu Xia say this, Feng Jingzhi withdrew her gaze and stopped looking.
She didn't look at Lin Xiaohan for long, but instead looked at the bundle of new books in his hand for a long time.
Chuxia didn't think any more about it, and she and Feng Jingzhi raised their heads and looked forward again.
She wanted to say hello to Lin Xiaohan just now. It was a subconscious reaction to seeing an acquaintance. After all, they had been together in the countryside for so long that they could be considered acquaintances even if they were not friends.
She had forgotten his character and personality.
He is a heartless person by nature, there is no emotion or humanity in his world.
Moreover, he had been annoyed by her when he was in the countryside. Now that he had returned to the city and had distanced himself from her as he wished, he naturally didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.
If the task of escaping the setting of the original novel has not been completed, Chuxia will still be troubled by this matter.
But now that she has completed her mission, she doesn't take it to heart anymore.
She had always known who he was, there was no need to make a fuss.
The team moved forward a little further.
In addition to chatting, Chuxia and Feng Jingzhi would still occasionally look forward.
The sun climbed over the roof and rose higher and higher in the eastern sky.
More and more people bought the information and left. The number of people in front of Chu Xia and Feng Jingzhi also decreased, and the line kept moving forward.
Feng Jingzhi started to mutter again: "Please, please, at least let us get one."
As soon as she finished her words, she heard a loud and noisy voice from the front: "Ah!"
Chu Xia and Feng Jingzhi hadn't yet figured out what was going on.
I heard the person in front of me loudly ask, "Why is it that there is no more for us? When will there be the next one?"
The bookstore salesperson said, "It depends on the printing factory. When the information arrives, they will post a notice outside the door."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people in front dispersed in annoyance and frustration.
Chu Xia and Feng Jingzhi naturally understood what was said - all the information had been snatched away again.
Feng Jingzhi sighed and looked at Chuxia: "I got up so early, but I still didn't get any books."
The people at the back of the line also sighed when they found out the books were sold out.
There was no point in standing here any longer, so everyone just left.
Chuxia and Feng Jingzhi went cycling and heard other people talking on the way.
"Publishing houses and printing houses simply can't produce enough review materials in such a short time. It's not certain when they will be available next time. Even if they are available, I think it will be hard to get them. But someone has already got them. I think it's more reliable to use connections to find someone to borrow them from."
"Don't they want to use it themselves? Who can lend it to us?"
"It's definitely not okay to just borrow it to review. We can find a few people to work together, borrow the book and divide the work to copy it down. Isn't that okay?"
"This method is good and feasible."
…
Chuxia and Feng Jingzhi walked to the bicycle.
Chuxia took out the key and unlocked the door. Feng Jingzhi said beside her, "Why don't we go to other bookstores to have a look? Maybe we'll be lucky enough to find some more."
Chuxia felt that no other bookstore would be able to survive under the current circumstances.
However, Feng Jingzhi had suggested it, and Chuxia couldn't give up unless she went to take a look, so she rode her bike with her to another bookstore to take a look.
After coming out of the last bookstore, Chu Xia and Feng Jingzhi naturally gave up.
The sun was already high in the sky. Feng Jingzhi said to Chuxia, "Forget it. If you didn't get it, then you didn't get it. I think all the review materials you have are enough."
Chu Xia looked at her and said, "The information I have is quite comprehensive. It contains almost everything. It is definitely enough for my use. But if I don't have a review outline, I won't know the scope and key points of the exam, and my review will have no focus. This way, my review will be inefficient."
This makes a lot of sense.
Feng Jingzhi thought about it and said, "Why don't we review first and then find someone to borrow the review outline from."
This is all we can do now.
Considering the work efficiency of the printing factory, these review materials will definitely not be supplied in such a short time. The possibility of waiting to grab them at the bookstore is higher than the possibility of not being able to borrow them.
After saying this, the two of them went back on their own.
Chuxia rode her bike back home, while Feng Jingzhi walked back to the factory by herself.
Her family is crowded and noisy, making it a bad environment for reviewing.
So even though today is Sunday, she doesn't plan to go back.
When Chuxia rode her bike home, Tang Haikuan and Wu Xuemei had already prepared dinner and were waiting for her to come back for dinner.
Chuxia went into the room, put down her schoolbag, took out her toiletries, and went to the yard to wash up.
When they got up in the middle of the night, she and Feng Jingzhi were in a hurry to queue up to grab information. In order to save time and get to the bookstore early to grab a seat, they did not even wash up.
When Chuxia was washing up at the sink, she suddenly heard a
Han Lei's voice was heard.
The Han family was having dinner in the house. Han Lei sat at the table and raised his voice to ask, "Chu Xia, you went to the bookstore so early to grab a book. Did you get it?"
When he woke up in the morning, he heard Tang Haikuan say that Chuxia got up in the middle of the night to grab books from the bookstore. He remembered that Han Ting didn't have any review materials, so after breakfast he went to the bookstore to take a look.
When he got there, he saw that the bookstore was full of people. He couldn't even find the end of the line even if he wanted to queue up. It was obviously impossible for him to buy the book, so he didn't waste time there and went straight back.
Chu Xia rinsed her mouth with water, put away her toothbrush, and replied loudly, "No, there were too many people trying to grab the books. Some of them may have gone there after dinner last night, so they didn't get any."
Hearing this, Han Lei looked at Han Qingtian and said in a flat voice, "Did you see that? I couldn't get a ticket even if I got up in the middle of the night to line up. I queued there in the morning but it was in vain. You don't know how many people were in line."
Han Qingtian looked at him and said, "If they can't get it in the city, then there's even less in the countryside. Without review materials and knowing nothing, how can we take the exam?"
Han Lei thought for a moment and said, "Look at the West Chamber. They are not impatient. They must have all the review materials. For Uncle Jianping's work, isn't it easy to get some review materials?"
Han Qingtian: "If they need it, can they send the review materials to you in your hometown?"
Han Lei said, "Why don't you open your mind and borrow it to copy it? There are so many people in our family. Except for mom who can't copy, there are five of us left. Isn't it easy to copy some review materials together?"
Han Qingtian nodded, "This method is feasible."
So we didn't waste much time after the meal.
Han Qingtian went directly to the west wing door and called out, "Teacher Xu."
Xu Huali heard the voice and came out, standing under the corridor and asked, "Brother Han, what's wrong?"
Han Qingtian and Xu Lihua exchanged a few polite words, then explained their purpose, saying, "I'm afraid our San'er can't get the review materials in the countryside, so we plan to copy a copy and send it to him. Can you lend us your Guanjie's review materials? We'll return them to you after we've copied them."
Xu Lihua's smiling face suddenly showed embarrassment, and she said embarrassedly: "Brother Han, if you want to borrow something else, I will go into the house and get it for you right now. But I really have no choice but to give you the college entrance examination review materials. Our Guanjie has been using them all the time. You also know that the review time is too short. Even if you review one minute less than others, the impact will be huge..."
Xu Lihua and Han Qingtian were talking outside the west wing.
Chuxia, Tang Haikuan and Wu Xuemei were still eating in the main room.
Seeing Han Qingtian going to Jiang's house to borrow review materials, Chuxia stretched her head to look outside.
After looking for a while with his ears perked up and his head stretched, Han Qingtian returned to the east wing empty-handed.
Tang Haikuan and Wu Xuemei also heard what Han Qingtian and Xu Lihua said in the yard. Tang Haikuan looked at Chu Xia and asked, "Are you also going to ask Guan Jie to borrow review materials?"
Chu Xia retracted her gaze and shook her head, "I won't borrow from him."
Tang Haikuan naturally realized that the Jiang family would not lend it, so he said, "I'll ask my colleagues at work to see if anyone has snatched it from their home. Tell Dad what review materials you want?"
Chu Xia replied, "You can just ask for the review outline. It doesn't matter if you can't borrow it."
Tang Haikuan nodded, and Wu Xuemei continued, "I'll ask when I'm at work."

East wing.
Looking at Han Qingkong, he started to walk into the house.
Wang Cuiying asked in confusion, "Didn't you go to borrow books?"
Han Qingtian sat down on the bench and said, "I won't lend it to you because I'm afraid it will delay Guanjie's review time."
Hearing this, Li Lan said, "How could that be? We have to review so many subjects. Guanjie can only review one subject at a time. Can't we just copy the unused materials first?"
This is naturally what was said, but Xu Lihua said that Jiang Guanjie always changed his review materials frequently. In order to change his mind, the materials had to be at hand so that he could get them immediately when he needed them.
Han Qingtian was too lazy to say anything more, and just said, "Forget it."
Seeing Han Qingtian say this, the others no longer had any questions.
Wang Cuiying said with some emotion: "I have always felt that his family is stingy and a bit contemptuous. I think he has all the review materials of Guanjie, and I wonder if he can get into university."
Han Lei continued, "His Guanjie will definitely pass the exam. After all, most of the candidates who signed up have been out of school for many years. They have forgotten all the knowledge they learned, and they all have jobs and no time to review. His Guanjie doesn't have to worry about anything, he just needs to review every day."
Li Lan agreed with Wang Cuiying and said, "I don't think so either. Guanjie has lost all his intelligence under Xu Lihua's control. He is like a trained puppy. He always goes east when he is told to. He has never been smart since he was a child. He listens to Xu Lihua in everything and has no ideas of his own. To put it nicely, he is obedient and sensible. To put it bluntly, he is a dead brain. He is not as smart as San'er. Examinations mainly rely on brains."
Speaking of Han Ting's brain, Wang Cuiying added: "Our San'er has indeed been smart since he was young. He has a lively mind. As long as he is willing, there is nothing he can't do. But he just messes around and doesn't put his mind on the right things."
Li Lan added: "San'er hasn't grown up yet."
What's the point of saying these things? Everyone says good things about their own children.
Han Qingtian interrupted them and said, "Let's think about how to find some review materials for San'er and send them over. At least he can review for the exam. Otherwise, we don't know when he will be back."
Han Lei responded to Han Qingtian, "I'll go out and take a look later."

Chuxia got up at two o'clock in the morning this morning. She queued up and searched all the bookstores. She was so sleepy by now that she went back to her room to sleep after dinner.
After waking up from a nap, she still didn't care about anything else. She went straight to the yard to wash her face to clear her mind, then went back to the room, sat down at the desk, and read and did her homework seriously.
Before going to bed at night, except for eating, washing and going to the toilet, she spent the rest of the time sitting at the desk. When she encountered questions that she knew at a glance, she would skip them directly, and when she encountered questions she didn't know, she would scratch her head.
I woke up the next day and memorized my lessons before going to work.
When I go to class to work with Feng Jingzhi, I ask if anyone has grabbed the review outline when I have time.
Of course, since they are new employees, they don’t know many people and can’t ask many people.
After get off work at noon, the two changed clothes in the locker room and went to the cafeteria to eat.
I had just walked a few steps out of the factory when I suddenly saw a lot of people crowded in front of the factory's bulletin board reading a notice. I listened carefully to what they said and found that it was related to the college entrance examination review.
So Chuxia and Feng Jingzhi didn't rush to the cafeteria.
The two of them gathered in front of the bulletin board, and after the people in front read the notice and left, they were squeezed to the front row by the people behind them, and they also saw the notice posted by the factory.
The two squeezed in the crowd and quickly read the notice.
The notice is indeed related to college entrance examination review.
The four factories on their street, the food factory, the watch factory, the stamp factory and the textile factory, originally jointly set up a literacy night school to provide literacy training for the uneducated workers in the factories every evening.
Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, the literacy night school has been temporarily changed to a college entrance examination review night school.
It's not just a large classroom that provides self-study and review, but there are professional teachers for each subject. There are necessary classes scheduled every night, and you can ask the teachers at any time if you have any questions.
It is not mandatory for everyone to attend classes, but it is based on the principle of voluntariness.
After reading the notice and squeezing out of the crowd, Feng Jingzhi asked Chuxia: "Are you going?"
Chu Xia answered without hesitation: "Of course I will go. How can I learn better than a tutor if I study on my own?"
Of course Feng Jingzhi was going too.
She smiled and said, "Then let's go together after dinner tonight."
Chuxia responded with "Okay", then quickened her pace and jogged with her to the cafeteria to eat.
***
Although I open my eyes every day and am either reading or reviewing or working, and am busy all the time except for eating, drinking water and going to the toilet, I don't feel tired in early summer.
Of course, she is not the only one like this. Most young people are like this these days.
In the past ten years, everyone has been living in chaos and hopelessness, not knowing what the goal or direction of life is. Now that we finally have a direction, we are naturally full of energy.
When I went to work in early summer, I also carried review materials in my schoolbag.
So after getting off work in the evening, she did not go home, but rushed to the cafeteria with Feng Jingzhi to have dinner. After quickly finishing dinner, she immediately rode her bike to the night school classroom to grab a seat.
These days are busy and hurried, but also very happy.
They ran to the classroom and grabbed a seat near the front row. They smiled happily at each other, and then calmed down to review on their own before the teacher came.
No matter how many more people came into the classroom afterwards, they didn't care.
Only when the teacher came and heard the teacher speaking in front did they raise their heads, look towards the podium and the teacher, focus all their attention, and start the first class of night school.
Taking into account that everyone is no longer a student and has forgotten most of what they have learned, the first thing the teacher does in class is to help everyone pick up all the basic knowledge.
Of course, since everyone has been to school, the lecture was relatively brief.
Teachers will not consider those students who did not study well in school because the school does not attach importance to cultural education.
Previously, this classroom was occupied by older workers.
Those sitting here are young workers between the ages of eighteen and thirty.
Because there were quite a lot of people coming to class, there weren't enough seats in the large classroom, so more people were squeezed into the last two or three rows, and some of the two-seat desks had four people crammed onto them.
Lin Xiaohan sat in the last row against the wall, but no one pushed him.
He sat in the same comfortable space as the people in the front row, and no one disturbed him whether he was attending class or studying.
During break time, the classroom was noisy and many people got up to go to the bathroom.
Lin Xiaohan sat there without getting up. He directly opened the review materials at hand, picked up the ballpoint pen and continued to read and review, occasionally drawing and circling on the pages.
While I was drawing, I suddenly heard a girl in the front row shouting, "Chuxia! Tang Chuxia!"
When he suddenly heard the name, the hand holding the pen suddenly stopped, and the wavy line he was drawing stopped under the tip of the pen.
He raised his eyes and saw a girl standing up from the third row of seats in front of him.
She looked very similar to the Tang Chuxia he knew, but she was much more beautiful than the Tang Chuxia he knew. The moment she turned her face, she stood out among the crowd in the classroom.
She left her seat and walked to the aisle, heading straight to the back, and stopped next to the four girls in the front row.
She was the Tang Chuxia he knew.
The girl who called Chuxia over was an old employee who lived in the same dormitory with Chuxia.
She showed her notes to Chu Xia and asked her, "The teacher spoke too fast about several key points just now, and we didn't hear them clearly. Did you hear them clearly in the beginning?"
What we are learning now are simple knowledge points.
Chuxia glanced at her notes, picked up a pen and explained it to the four of them.
After they all nodded and said they understood, Chuxia put down her pen and prepared to return to her seat.
But as soon as she raised her eyes, she suddenly met the gaze of someone in the back seat.
The moment their eyes met, she recognized it was Lin Xiaohan. His eyes were as dark as the night, and he seemed to have been staring at her for a long time, so her heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.
But early summer showed nothing unusual.
She quickly retracted her gaze, without any fluctuation or change in her eyes or expression. She pretended that she had seen nothing and turned around and ran back to her seat.
Lin Xiaohan: “…”
