Chapter 502 Buying Books
"Jingchen, your parents will be the ones who will regret breaking off relations with you. When the time comes, they will definitely come to you crying and admit their mistakes."
Her Jing Chen is a promising man. As long as he can return to Kyoto, Jing Chen will climb up to the position of mayor step by step.
When Jing Chen becomes the mayor, she will be the mayor's wife, and her parents-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law will definitely come over to her.
Zhou Jingchen said nothing. He no longer had the dream of becoming mayor.
As a person without any background, he can't even become the mayor, let alone carry the mayor's bag. Only Shen Xue has been dreaming big all day long.
Zhou Jin came back from outside, put his hands on his hips and shouted, "Mom and Dad, buy me some marbles and some tin frogs."
"Buy whatever you want. If you don't have money, go away."
Ever since Zhou Jin caused Shen Xue to lose her child, Shen Xue no longer likes this son as much as before.
She felt uncomfortable, and seeing him reminded her of the day she bumped into him.
Zhou Jin rolled on the ground immediately after hearing this, "I don't care, I don't care, I want it, I want it, I won't get up if you don't buy it for me."
"I can't love you, I really spoil you, my family can't even afford to eat.
You are still thinking about buying marbles and frogs. Are these things edible? You are shouting, "There is no food to eat tonight."
"I hate you. When you get old, I won't take care of you."
"You bastard, if you don't provide for me in my old age, I'll beat you up."
Shen Xue was about to hit Zhou Jin with a whip, but Zhou Jin immediately got up and said, "Daya, come and help me."
How could Daya dare to stop her mother? Besides, her younger brother often bullied her, and she wanted to applaud when her mother beat him.
Xiaoze, Xiaoan, and Xiaoyan went out to play. When it was almost time for dinner, the three children came back with a fish each.
The three wet children were trying to show off their achievements in front of Old Lady Shen, "Grandma, are we awesome?"
This time, Mrs. Shen did not praise the three children. She asked with a stern face, "Did you go to the river?"
The third kid nodded, "You can only catch fish if you go down to the river."
Old Lady Shen was about to hit the child with a rolling pin. "Children should not go into the river. I have told you so many times why don't you listen?
The water in the river is so deep, it can eat little kids like you. And the water is so cold, what will you do if you get frozen?"
The third kid lowered his head and said, "We know we were wrong."
"You guys are not good. You won't have any chicken to eat tonight. You can only drink soup."
The three kids all raised their heads and looked at Old Lady Shen with grievance. Old Lady Shen turned her face away and didn't look at the children.
If he goes to the river today, he may go to some dangerous place tomorrow. We can’t indulge him.
There was soup in the pot, and the whole yard was filled with the aroma of chicken soup. The three children were drooling at the smell.
"Uncle, you are the oldest. Why didn't you stop Xiaoze and I from going down to the river? Now we have no chance to have the delicious chicken soup."
Xiaoyan was squatting in the yard, drawing on the ground with a small branch in her hand, her little face wrinkled.
Xiao An's eyebrows were knitted together, and he held his face with his hands. "I told you not to go into the river, but you insisted and even dragged me along. Come on, grandma is mad at us."
Xiaoze sat on the ground and scratched his face. "Grandma must be reluctant to be angry with us.
We will go and appease Grandma later. If she is happy, we will have chicken soup to drink.”
When it was time for dinner, Old Lady Shen served corn porridge to the three children.
He picked up some vegetables and let them eat in the corridor, and then he no longer paid any attention to the three aggrieved children.
Xiaoze, Xiaoan, Xiaoyan: o(︶︿︶)o
In October, the radio broadcast the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, and newspapers also published the news.
Everyone was excited and shocked and started looking for books to review, with the sole intention of changing their destiny by passing the college entrance examination.
The educated youths in Shenjiaba Brigade also stopped going to work and went straight to the brigade leader to ask for leave to review. They couldn't do much work.
Their minds are not on the work, and forcing them to work would only waste the crops, so he simply waved his hand and said those who don't want to work don't have to come.
The educated youth went to the countryside with nothing but clothes, pots and pans, and other things, but they didn't bring any books. If they wanted to review, they had to find books.
There were quite a few educated youth, but few of them had books to review. So that day someone came to the Shen family and asked Shen Jiabao to borrow books from them.
With Shen Shuyu's instructions, Shen Jiabao and his friends would take out the book and read it whenever they had time.
By reading two pages a day, I can review most of the contents in the textbook.
If it were normal, it wouldn't matter if I lent them the books, but now the college entrance examination has been resumed,
They also wanted to try whether they had the chance to go to university, but when the educated youth came, they politely declined.
They also need to read books, so there is no reason for us to put ourselves in a difficult position to make things easier for others.
If they couldn't borrow books, they would go out to buy them, but after running around the county town several times, they couldn't buy a single book.
As soon as the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, everyone wanted to buy books to read, and those who were slow couldn't buy any at all.
Normally, you could buy five kilograms of books for one cent at the scrap yard, but now they cost twenty cents each, and you might not even see any books there if you go there.
Shen Shuyu had bought a lot of books before, and now was the time to sell them. She disguised herself,
Shen Shuyu appeared in front of Scar again. Scar was so happy to see him that tears came out.
"Brother Su, you came just in time. Let me know if you heard about the resumption of the college entrance examination a long time ago."
Brother Xiao Su bought so many books before, and he was muttering in his heart that Brother Xiao Su was stupid. Buying so many books cannot be eaten or drunk, and they also take up space.
Now that the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination has come out, he feels that he is the fool.
Textbooks are needed now. For the sake of future, everyone will buy them no matter how expensive they are.
If he had stockpiled textbooks like the Su brothers, he would be making a lot of money now.
Shen Shuyu smiled and said, "How can I do that? Scar brother, do you want these books I have?"
"Brother Su, you are still thinking of me. I want all the books you have. The price is this..."
Shen Shuyu handed a note to Scar. Scar looked at the price on the note and narrowed his eyes.
"Brother Xiao Su, we are old acquaintances. My business has been really difficult recently. You..."
Shen Shuyu turned around and was about to leave, but Daoba hurriedly pulled him back, "Brother, what are you doing? I haven't finished talking yet. We are so familiar with each other, so the price is what you said."
"old place."
Shen Shuyu went to the transaction location in advance. When Scar and the others arrived, Shen Shuyu had already taken out the book.
At that time, she bought it for 20 cents per pound, but now she buys it for 50 cents per copy.
Shen Shuyu roughly counted and found that she had more than a thousand books to sell, so she could make more than five hundred this time.
Scar brought his men to move the books away, although the cost of the goods was a bit high this time,
But he still made money. Scar smiled and said to Shen Shuyu, "Brother Su, don't forget to cooperate with me next time you have a chance to make a fortune."
Shen Shuyu also smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
