It is indeed strange that Xiangxiang is already in a relationship at such a young age.
But what made Wang Guoshuang feel even more surprised was that... when Cuilan talked about her sister Wang Cuixiang, she was actually talking about the little one!
She was speechless, "You are only a few years older than Xiangxiang, and you call Xiangxiang a little one?"
"Listening to your tone, someone who doesn't know you would think you are at least thirty or forty years old!" She laughed at Wang Cuilan.
Wang Cuilan twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, thinking to herself, "Based on her age in her previous life, wouldn't she be in her thirties or forties now? She's old enough to be an aunt!"
Wang Guoshuang had to go to work in the afternoon, so the two sisters talked for a while and then went their separate ways.
After leaving Wang Guoshuang's house, Wang Cuilan did not take a bus home immediately, but went to the scrap yard while it was still early.
She certainly wasn't looking for gold, antiques, cultural relics, or calligraphy or paintings.
Don’t you know whether these exist in their small county?
Yes, there are. There are so many smart people in the world. Are they waiting for you to take advantage of them?
I'm afraid those valuable items will be snatched away before they even reach the scrap yard!
Even if there are some fish that slip through the net, it depends on luck and vision.
Wang Cuilan didn't have that kind of luck nor that kind of vision, so she never thought of getting rich by picking up bargains.
Because that is obviously impossible.
Wang Cuilan came to the scrap yard to look for her high school textbooks.
She only has a junior high school education, which is considered a good level of education nowadays.
But after experiencing the future, Wang Cuilan realized that her current academic qualifications were far from enough.
The college entrance examination will be resumed in two years. From then on, college students, junior college students, and technical secondary school students will gradually emerge in large numbers.
A junior high school diploma is becoming less and less valuable, and in the end it is even difficult to find a decent job.
Wang Cuilan didn't want to face such an embarrassing situation, so she had to prepare early.
Wang Cuilan wants to go to university.
She wanted to take part in the first college entrance examination in 1977 when the system was resumed.
Not to mention that the questions in this session are relatively simple, she started studying (reviewing) two years in advance, so she has a great chance of passing the exam.
Just talking about future prospects, the first batch of students after the resumption of the college entrance examination are far more popular than the students who passed the exam later.
Wang Cuilan has always been an ambitious person, so it is not surprising that she has such thoughts.
In her previous life, Wang Cuilan also had ambitions, but she chose to rely on others, and the results were not satisfactory.
And in this life, she chose to rely on herself.
Whether it was bitter or sweet along the way, she took it all.
The scrap yard in the county town is not very big, just a small room.
There were all kinds of messy things piled everywhere in there, and it was obvious that it had not been cleaned up.
The old man who was looking after the scrap yard didn't even raise his eyes when he saw Wang Cuilan coming. He said directly, "Go ahead. There's no one inside. Just find what you want. Once you've picked something out, come out and weigh it!"
Wang Cuilan went into the house and picked and chose for a long time before finally putting together a complete set of high school textbooks that she wanted.
She took it outside to be weighed.
The old man was quite surprised when he saw it.
At this moment, he finally looked up. He looked at Wang Cuilan with some disbelief, "You only picked these? No other things?"
All that old wood, rotten furniture, incomplete recipes and stuff?
Aren’t these the things you people who come to Taobao most fond of?
Although I, an old man, know that those are fake and not treasures at all, you don’t know!
Don’t you usually bring things home happily with big and small bags?
What?
Don’t you value these things anymore?
This won’t do. How can I make extra money with you guys like this?
So, the old man then cheered up and tried to fool people.
He might have fooled people. His words were so eloquent and exaggerated that even someone like Wang Cuilan, who had seen the world, was stunned by him.
Although I knew in my heart that I shouldn't do this, my hands couldn't help but buy a lot of books, most of which were medical books and a few were cookbooks.
The recipes are all home-cooked dishes, nothing special.
There is a rather special medical book, which contains many beauty and health-preserving prescriptions, which look like palace secrets.
But she is not sure, and she needs to experiment one by one to confirm its authenticity.
In the next few days, in addition to delivering fresh motherwort and honeysuckle to Dr. Li in the county town, Wang Cuilan spent the rest of her time tinkering with whitening cream and scar removal cream according to the prescriptions in medical books.
These two pastes are not that complicated to make, and most of the medicinal materials used can be collected in the mountains.
So Wang Cuilan decided to try these two things first.
Time flies when you have something to do.
Before he knew it, it was Saturday and it was time for Xie Zheng to go home.
That day, Wang Cuilan was carrying out the final step of making the beauty cream according to the description in the medical book when Xie Zheng pushed the door open.
Seeing Xie Zheng, she was confused for a moment, then smiled and said gently, "You're back?"
Wang Cuilan is actually very beautiful, the kind of beauty that is very elegant and dignified.
It wasn't noticeable before because she often had to work in the fields, and her mother was sick, so she had no mood to dress up.
Now that her mother has passed away, although she is sad, she has moved on.
With the help of the team leader, she has officially filled the position of barefoot doctor in the village.
Although the cents earned were not much, at least I didn’t have to work in the fields.
Wang Cuilan was not exposed to the wind and sun in the fields, and she was young. After ten days or half a month, the skin on her face became much whiter and tenderer, and looked very hydrated.
At this moment, she smiled gently at people, looking dazzling.
Xie Zheng's heart was beating a little fast, and his chest felt like it was burning with fire, which was very unbearable.
He looked away, loosened the discipline button on his uniform, coughed to cover it up, and finally responded, "The army canteen went to the city to purchase supplies today, and I came back in their car."
This explains why he came back in the middle of the afternoon today.
Xie Zheng is a soldier belonging to the Northern Military Region, but was seconded to the South for unknown reasons.
Now he is working somewhere in their city.
Although they were in the same city, Xie Zheng's workplace was quite far from home, so he usually only came back on Saturday nights, and it was always late at night when he got back.
No one has come back as early as today.
Because Xie Zheng came back early, Wang Cuilan prepared dinner earlier today.
After dinner, Wang Cuilan called the man who had just returned from the shower and said, "Xie Zheng, let's get a divorce!"
The man paused and looked up suddenly. His narrow, almond-shaped eyes were looking sharply at Wang Cuilan.
There was a deep coldness in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "You want to divorce me?"
