Just as Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo were about to ask each other what they had talked about with Wang Chao, they heard this sentence.
Thank you.
I didn't say anything specific in terms of thanks, but I was thanking them for that particular thing. Anyway, thank you.
Xu Yan couldn't finish her question. She stared at Xie Zhuo for a few seconds, then gently shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
No one noticed their subtle actions.
All eyes were still on Wang Chao.
"What did you say?" Zhang Zi was stunned for a moment after being scolded, and her expression changed the next second. "You insulted me!"
"Was I wrong to scold you?" Wang Chao's voice was loud. "You know perfectly well what you did!"
Looking at his expression, Zhang Zi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that he knew something?
No, how could he possibly know?
After comforting herself, Zhang Zi secretly pinched her thigh when no one was looking, and her eyes immediately reddened. "I'm a city girl who followed you against my family's wishes, and this is how you treat me?"
“My parents didn’t approve of you back then, but I insisted on being with you because I said you were a good person and good to me. Now it seems I was blind.”
"Fine, I knew long ago that your whole family didn't welcome me. I'm leaving, I'm leaving right now, and I'll never be in your way again."
As Zhang Zi spoke, she turned and headed towards the door.
Wang Chao was already angry because he had been thinking too much about what Xie Zhuo had said and then he was kicked by him. When he turned around, he saw that his mother was being beaten by the educated youth surnamed Xu, and Zhang Zi was just watching without doing anything.
In a fit of anger, I said what I just said.
Seeing Zhang Zi with red eyes about to leave, he quickly went over and stopped her.
"I... I just blurted it out," Wang Chao said.
Chen Jinxiang thought her son had finally come to his senses and didn't want this woman anymore, but it didn't last long before he went back to coax her.
She was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.
But not to Wang Chao, but to that little slut surnamed Zhang.
She really knows how to seduce people!
Xu Yan looked at Zhang Zi and raised an eyebrow. Although others didn't see it, she saw the girl pinching her thigh very clearly.
Xie Zhuo remained expressionless, but when Wang Chao looked over, he moved his lips and uttered two words.
“Idiot,” he said.
Wang Chao was almost provoked by those two words and rushed over to start another fight.
However, perhaps knowing that he couldn't beat Xie Zhuo, he pointed at Xie Zhuo and said threateningly, "You just wait."
Xie Zhuo didn't care.
Although Zhang Zi insisted on having the Phoenix brand bicycle, the Phoenix brand bicycle had already been sold to someone else, which caused a small incident, so she gave up her insistence.
When Wang Chao coaxed him into buying the Flying Pigeon brand pigeon, he reluctantly nodded.
Chen Jinxiang was furious.
But I still paid the money.
Including the bicycle and the fruit candies that Wang Chao had trampled on the ground, the total was one hundred and twenty-eight.
She felt heartbroken for most of the day.
They had originally wanted Xie Zhuo and the others to share the burden, but when they turned around, they found that only the three of them were left in the shop; Xie Zhuo and Xu Yan had already left.
After Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo left the department store, Xu Yan saw a bookstore not far away.
She turned her head to look at Xie Zhuo and said, "Aren't you going to sell mountain products? I won't go. I'll wait for you to come back at the bookstore over there."
Xie Zhuo followed Xu Yan's finger and looked over.
There was indeed a small shop about a hundred meters away from them, with an elderly man sitting at the door, fanning himself and listening to the radio.
"Yes," Xie Zhuo nodded.
Actually, he didn't want to take Xu Yan to Lao He's place in the first place. After all, the crackdown is strict now, and it's not a legitimate business there. He could go alone, but he couldn't drag Xu Yan into it.
“I’ll be back soon,” Xie Zhuo said.
“Okay,” Xu Yan nodded.
After the two parted ways, Xu Yan couldn't wait to head towards the bookstore.
It's already July 1975, and the exam is at the end of December 1977. She knows nothing about the college entrance exam in this era. Even though she was a top student in her previous life, she is still very nervous.
I hope I can buy the books to review this time.
When Xu Yan arrived at the bookstore entrance, the old man was still listening to the radio with his eyes closed, and he didn't open his eyes when he heard someone coming.
"The books are all inside, pick one yourself," the old man said.
"Thank you," Xu Yan said, and then walked into the bookstore.
The bookstore is a small two-story building. The ground floor is quite small and is crammed full of newspapers, some from several years ago and some from recently, all piled together in a mess.
Xu Yan picked it up, glanced at it a few times, then put it back in its original place before heading upstairs in the bookstore.
It's clear that hardly anyone goes upstairs; the stairs hidden in the corner are covered in dust, and you can still see clear shoe prints when you step on them.
Too.
Society is currently at a stage where everyone is working hard on farm work to earn work points, and very few people have time to read books.
Even in Qingshan Brigade, many families still haven't sent their seven or eight-year-old children to school.
The question is, what's the point of going to school if you still have to be sent to work in different production brigades?
Why bother with all that trouble? Just get to work.
Xu Yan sneezed suddenly as soon as he stepped onto the second floor. The second floor was a bit larger than the first floor, but it was even more crammed in, and the air smelled of dust.
She rubbed her nose before weaving through the rows of bookshelves.
The first thing I saw were some elementary school textbooks, including math and language arts textbooks.
However, it was clear that the management was not paying attention. A first-grade Chinese textbook was inserted into a third-grade math book, and when they took out a fifth-grade textbook, they also pulled out a high school math textbook.
Xu Yan paused, put down the first-grade Chinese textbook in her hand, and took out the high school math textbook.
The cover illustration has a vintage feel, and below it are the words: "Trial Textbook for High Schools in City B".
Xu Yan was overjoyed and quickly opened his textbook. The more he read, the more confident he felt that he should have no problem taking the college entrance examination the year after next.
She scored 703 points on the college entrance exam and got into B City University, with a perfect score in mathematics.
Physics and chemistry are also relatively easy.
As for Chinese language and politics, I should study them more.
Xu Yan was engrossed in browsing books in the bookstore, while Xie Zhuo had already walked briskly to Lao He's doorstep.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
A middle-aged man in his forties almost ran over to open the door for him. As soon as he saw him, his face immediately lit up with a smile. "How was it?"
Xie Zhuo, as usual, didn't say much. He followed him into the house, then dumped the mushrooms from the basket onto the ground and took out the radio that was wrapped inside.
Old He couldn't wait and pressed a button on the radio.
A crackling sound immediately came from inside. Old He pulled out the antenna, fiddled with it for a bit, and then a few lines of storytelling came from the radio.
Old He's smile immediately widened, and he patted Xie Zhuo on the shoulder a few times, saying, "I knew you could do it!"
