Chapter 219 Selling College Entrance Examination Review Materials
Liu Cuilan leaned towards the door and said, "Why are you guys here looking for my third child so early in the morning instead of sleeping at home? Let's make it clear first. No one is allowed in until we make it clear."
Several people knew Liu Cuilan's temper. Although this woman looked gentle and weak on the outside, she actually had a very bad temper.
Otherwise, as a widow, she would not be able to raise so many children alone after her husband died.
Aunt Wang scratched her head sheepishly and said, "Cui Lan, this is what happened. We heard that the college entrance examination will be resumed soon, so we were wondering if Xiao Xiao could buy some review materials for the children on her way to work."
As soon as we got the news yesterday, we rushed to all the major bookstores in the city, but after going to several places, we still didn't see any relevant information.
They all come from rural families and have been digging for food in the soil all their lives. Thinking that the college entrance examination is something that can change their children's destiny, they must get review materials for their children at all costs.
"My third daughter works in a department store, not a bookstore. You can't find her for this."
Liu Cuilan was woken up early in the morning and was already a little annoyed. When she heard that the man was looking for the third brother to buy something, and it was a book, she became even more impatient.
Her third child is quite capable, but she can't buy everything. Does she really treat her like a turtle in a wishing well? Whatever she wants, she can get it?
"Cui Lan, just ask Xiao Xiao to ask for us. This is something that affects the children's whole lives. Don't your children have to take the exam too?"
"Yes, Xiaoxiao works at a department store in the city. She knows a lot of people and has a lot of connections. Why don't you ask her?"
A group of people were talking at once.
Liu Cuilan was about to chase the person away in annoyance when Su Xiaoxiao came out with her hair messed up.
As soon as the neighbors saw her, they immediately came up to her with their faces licked, as if they saw a cat that was eating meat. For the sake of their children's future, they were willing to risk their lives.
"Xiaoxiao, you must help us with this. We went to the bookstore yesterday and there was nothing..."
"That's right. We've been begging and pleading but haven't been able to buy anything yet. We're really desperate and have to ask you for help."
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes hard, and then she opened them completely, and her mind became a little clearer.
When I got up in the morning, it was still a little cold.
She shrank her neck, and without waiting for the aunt to finish, she nodded and said, "No problem, I'll buy it for you."
"Yes, Su girl, this is...wait, what did you say?"
Someone asked in disbelief, this girl just agreed so sweetly?
They had been begging everywhere for something but couldn't get it, and this little girl actually agreed to buy it for them so easily?
"Isn't it just a college entrance examination review book? I have it right here."
As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she took out the "Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation" in her hand.
A thick stack of bound volumes containing the contents of various subjects.
Since the college entrance examination has just been resumed, the content is also written based on the current situation.
Everyone was hoping to get lucky, but they didn't expect that the girl from the Su family actually had it.
The scene immediately exploded like a pot of boiling water, and everyone shouted excitedly at Su Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao girl, can you sell me this book? I'll give you an extra twenty cents."
"Pah, such a difficult book, and you only added twenty cents. I'll pay twice as much."
"Su girl, I'll pay three times as much, but you must give me this book."
Su Xiaoxiao had a headache. She didn't expect that this book was so popular. She used to dislike the space it took up and used it to pad the corner of the table.
She cleared her throat and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Although I only have one copy of this book, I can make a copy for everyone. If you need it, you can contact me to register."
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoxiao girl, how much does this copy cost?"
Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand and gestured: "Eight yuan. If you need it, you can come to me to register."
“So expensive?”
Some people were scared when they heard the price, but most people gritted their teeth and rushed forward to register for the sake of their children's future.
In fact, the price Su Xiaoxiao asked for was not expensive. Printing costs are high these days, and a complete set of college entrance examination review materials costs about ten yuan.
Even this is still a hot commodity, and you may not be able to buy it even if you buy it.
In a short while, she had pre-ordered more than a dozen books.
After everyone left, Su Xiaoxiao started calculating how many documents to copy, and then Liu Cuilan pushed the door open.
Seeing her mother in a bad mood, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"What else can I do? I heard the college entrance exams are going to be reinstated, so I just called your older brother. Guess what? They both said they weren't going to take it. Your younger brother is fine, his grades are average, but your older brother is one of the best in our county. I'm so pissed."
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly helped her calm down: "Mom, don't worry. I'll call my two brothers tomorrow to have a good talk. They're probably worried about their work too."
Su Xiaoxiao could understand her two brothers' thoughts. The family situation had just improved. If they resigned to prepare for the exam at this time, not only would the family lose two salaries, but if they failed the exam, they would lose both.
After hearing her say this, Liu Cuilan's expression finally eased a little. She actually knew the concerns of her two sons.
But as the saying goes, all things are inferior except education, so she would sell everything she had to let all her children go to school.
Thinking of this, she looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "Third brother, what do you think? According to Mom's idea, you three should take the exam, or go to school for a better future."
What Su Xiaoxiao admires most about Liu Cuilan is that although she is a rural woman, she is very far-sighted.
Although her family's conditions were difficult, she insisted on sending all her children to school.
This alone is something that many families cannot do.
Especially some families with girls.
In the eyes of most families today, the only way out for a girl is to find a good husband, and nothing else matters.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take the college entrance examination."
She just graduated from high school, so she doesn't need to prepare for the exam specifically. She just needs to take some time to review the materials.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while before Liu Cuilan got up and left.
Su Xiaoxiao turned off the lights and lay on the kang, then immediately logged into the game interface and found the owner of the printing shop whom she had added as a friend before.
After agreeing on the price, the book was sent over by express delivery.
After a good night's sleep, Su Xiaoxiao got up early the next day to go to work.
As soon as I walked in, I heard a lot of salespeople gathered together discussing something.
As soon as she put down her bag, Zhang Yulan grabbed her and said, "Xiaoxiao, they said they're going to select outstanding salespeople these days."
