It was already October 20th, and Shen Yuesheng had been waiting for the notice of the resumption of the college entrance examination, preparing to do her first business of her own.
The Gu family went back on the third day after the engagement. The Shen family prepared a lot of dried mushrooms, dried wild vegetables, pheasants, smoked rabbits, and other foods that were not available in the city.
The days returned to peace.
Ever since the Shen family got a radio, Zhang Cuihua and Shen Aiguo would listen to the radio after lunch whenever they had time.
On such an ordinary day, Zhang Cuihua heard something on the radio saying that the college entrance examination had been resumed. She thought she had misheard, but when she listened carefully, it was indeed something like the college entrance examination had been resumed.
Zhang Cuihua quickly called out to Shen Aiguo to listen together: "Old man, listen to the radio, what do you hear?"
Shen Aiguo listened carefully and said, "What educated youth? Farmers can all voluntarily sign up for the college entrance examination..."
Zhang Cuihua: "I heard that too. So if the college entrance examination is resumed, our children can take it."
Shen Aiguo: “We have to wait for notification. We can’t hear the whole story now.”
Zhang Cuihua: "I won't talk to you. I'm going to look for Shengbao."
Shen Aiguo: “Shengbao went to the county, and it will take a while before he gets home.”
Zhang Cuihua: “…”
After a while, the door was opened, and Shen Yuesheng walked into the yard in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Shen Yuesheng went to the county every week to learn foreign languages with Grandma Zhou. He didn't tell anyone, and when his family asked him about it, he would say that he went to the county with Gu Ye.
Today was the same. I thought that since it was already past the 21st, there should be a notice for the resumption of the college entrance examination, so I hurried back after finishing my studies.
Zhang Cuihua's eyes lit up: "Shengbao, when I came to listen to the radio today, I heard something about the resumption of the college entrance examination. Shengbao..." She stopped talking and looked at Shen Yuesheng eagerly.
Shen Yuesheng: "Grandma, it's true. I heard from Gu Ye that Jinshi knows first-hand information. It's true. We can all take the college entrance examination, and the educated youth can also return home by taking the college entrance examination."
Zhang Cuihua: "It's true, it's really true, it's great."
Shen Yuesheng: "Grandma, I'm going to look for Uncle Dashun."
Zhang Cuihua: "Okay, go ahead!"
Shen Yuesheng went back to the house, put his things away and turned to go out.
Arriving at the door of Shen Dashun's house: "Uncle Dashun, are you home?"
"Hey, I'm here!" Shen Dashun pushed the door open and came out, "Sheng girl, what do you want from me?"
Shen Yuesheng: "I heard from Gu Ye that the college entrance examination has been resumed. There will be a notice in a few days. I have some textbooks. If anyone in the village wants them, you can come to me."
Shen Dashun: "Gu Ye's news should be true. It seems that the village will be in turmoil again! Those educated youth who have married villagers are going to make trouble again. Alas!"
Shen Yuesheng: "These things are unavoidable. People who want to leave can't be kept, uncle."
Shen Dashun: "Yeah! I can't control it! Just let them be. As long as nothing serious happens, it's fine."
Shen Yuesheng: "Then uncle, I will go back first."
Shen Dashun: "Okay, Sheng girl, be careful!"
Shen Yuesheng was very happy all the way, thinking that he could finally make money in an honest way! I can go through Shenjiaming Road openly, but I am not allowed to do business on my own now, so I still have to go to the black market.
However, the crackdown is not so strict now, and we should be able to do business openly in the near future.
After returning home, Shen Yuesheng was thinking that he had asked his brothers and cousins to start studying a year ago, so the college entrance examination should not be a problem this time. Now he just needs to make money and make the Shen family the first ten thousand yuan household in the village.
…
Ten days later, I heard a message on the village radio: "All workers, farmers, educated youth who went to work in the countryside or returned home, demobilized soldiers, cadres and high school graduates who meet the enrollment requirements can voluntarily sign up..."
When this news came out, the whole village was shocked, especially the educated youth and some young people who graduated from high school in the village, all of whom wanted to change their destiny by taking the college entrance examination.
Textbooks became hot commodities again. Fortunately, Shen Yuesheng had the foresight to receive a complete set of textbooks at the scrap recycling station. Together with other scattered items, there were more than 30 books in total. The Shen family had almost finished reading them all.
Shen Yuesheng and Gu Ye found a newspaper office and printed a lot of textbooks and took them to the black market.
Since the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, those textbooks have been in short supply, and Shen Yuesheng and Gu Ye have made a lot of money.
However, some people do not dare to go to the black market, so we have to expand sales channels.
Shen Yuesheng decided to bring his eldest brother along. He had been in the county for a long time, knew many people, and should have many connections. By then, one factory should be able to handle a lot, and customers would come.
