Reborn in the red age

Chapter 74 You’re late, I’ve already sold Jin Ping Mei

"Brother, brother, good news, good news"

It was snowing heavily outside. Qingfeng Li and Zhou Yongjun were playing chess on the kang, while others were playing cards and others were reading.

Wang Weimin, with a thick layer of white snow falling on his cotton clothes, ran in excitedly from outside, shouting that there was good news.

The card players and chess players all stopped and looked at the excited Wang Weimin. Even Ma Wenhui and the others from the girls' dormitory came in with half-knitted sweaters.

Wang Weimin took off the snow-covered hat on his head and said excitedly to everyone: "The county is going to build a primary school here. Teachers will be recruited from the Qingshan Brigade first. We have the opportunity to become private teachers."

"real or fake"

"Where did you get the news? Is it reliable?"

Everyone suddenly became excited, quickly put down what they were holding, and excitedly surrounded Wang Weimin, asking Wang Weimin for the accuracy of the news.

Wang Weimin, who was surrounded by everyone, said proudly: "Of course the news is accurate. It has been spread throughout the brigade. People from the county will come to inspect it next month. It is said that it has basically been confirmed. The new building of our brigade will be built." A primary school, children from two nearby brigades will come to our school.”

"By the way, I also asked about the teacher's salary. In addition to [-] work points a month, there is also a living allowance of five yuan. This is a great thing."

Three hundred work points are equivalent to a strong laborer. Only by working every day can he earn so many work points, not to mention the living allowance of five yuan per month. This salary is not low.

When everyone heard that private teachers' salaries were so high, everyone's eyes lit up and they began to make calculations in their minds.

Now no one has the mind to pay attention to Wang Weimin. They are rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find the textbooks they brought. They want to review carefully while there is still some time, hoping to get good grades in the exam and become a private teacher in the village.

Wang Weimin saw that Qingfeng Li didn't show any excitement at all and was still playing chess with Zhou Yongjun. He quickly came over and said anxiously: "Brother, why aren't you excited? Did you bring your textbook? We need to hurry up and review."

"Naive, you are too naive. Why are you so excited now? Let me ask you guys, with such good treatment, do you think the captain's temperament can give us educated youths? Isn't there a few junior high school students in the entire Qingshan Brigade? Graduates come to be primary school teachers?" After calmly eating one of Zhou Yongjun's horses, Li Qingfeng said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, it was like a basin of cold water poured down from everyone's heads. Everyone who was excited just now became quiet one by one, looking a little lonely.

Yes, the captain has always favored the village members. With such a good way out, the other party must be closely arranged for the young people in his village. How can educated youths like himself get teacher quotas.

"You eat my horse, and watch me eat your cannon, you won't lose anything for one." After Zhou Yongjun ate Qingfeng Li's cannon, he opened his mouth to cheer everyone up: "You can't say that, no matter how partial the captain is, he won't lose anything." We won’t give a single quota, but at least give us educated youths one or two quotas.”

"That makes sense. I'll get some eggs later and I'll ask the brigade leader how many places he can give us educated youths."

Hearing that there was still hope, Wu Xiangqian stepped forward and said, "A few eggs are enough? If not, give the captain an old hen."

Qingfeng Li glanced sideways at Wu Xiangqian and said with a smile: "You see, you have never given any gifts. For a piece of news, just a few eggs are enough. You can't feed people all at once, otherwise they will easily be treated as fat sheep." slaughter"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that what Li Qingfeng said made sense. He was worthy of being a prosperous person in the brigade. He was so smart that he quickly urged Qingfeng Li to go and find out more.

There were so many people during the day, so naturally it was not possible to give gifts. Qingfeng Li dared to go out with eggs. Everyone in the village knew that Qingfeng Li had gone to give gifts. What would happen then?We can only wait until dark before taking action.

It was just getting dark in the afternoon when Li Qingfeng took six eggs amidst the urging of everyone, put on his cotton coat and walked towards the captain's house.

When they arrived at the captain's house, the captain's wife was cooking in the kitchen. When she saw Qingfeng Li coming, she quickly handed the shovel to her daughter-in-law and welcomed Qingfeng Li into the house with a smile.

The captain was rolling up the cannon in the room at this time. He was not at all curious about Qingfeng Li coming to the door today. He just said lightly: "I knew your kid would come over today. The food will be ready soon. Stay home for a meal."

"No, no, no, everyone in the courtyard is waiting for me to come back." Li Qingfeng said as he put six eggs on the table and said with a smile to the brigade captain's wife: "Aunt, these are six eggs. They are ours." A little thought from these educated youths, the big cow is growing, you can use it to replenish the big cow’s body.”

The captain's wife pretended to be anxious, picked up the cloth bag containing the eggs, and pretended to refuse: "Oh, what's going on with you? I have old hens at home, how can I accept yours?" Eggs, take them back quickly, take them back, it’s not easy for you educated youths, how can we accept the gifts from you educated youths?”

Qingfeng Li was used to this every time he came over to give gifts, with a fake smile on his face: "Aunt, this is the wish of our educated youth, just use it to replenish Daniel's health." "How about that? You Take it back quickly”

After some arguing, the captain also spoke: "Take it back quickly, it's just a message. Why did you give me eggs? What will happen if you accept me?"

The captain's wife's hand holding the egg tightened obviously, and she gave the captain a dissatisfied look.

In the end, the bag of eggs was taken into the kitchen by the brigade captain's wife. Li Qingfeng also got accurate information from the brigade captain. It was indeed true that the primary school was built this time, but the plan had not yet been finalized. The educated youth would definitely give it. Then one or two places will not be given to none.

The crescent moon hangs high in the sky, the sky is dotted with stars, and the thick snow on the ground reflects the white surroundings.

Qingfeng Li walked back in high spirits. This sudden news gave Li Qingfeng an opportunity. He had long wanted to buy textbooks to review, and now he finally had a reason.

In the past few months when he went to the countryside, the reason why Li Qingfeng never bought textbooks to review was mainly because 66 years had passed from 75 to 9. Everyone thought that the college entrance examination could not be resumed, even if it was originally People who have high hopes have basically given up after these nine years of training. If they take their textbooks to the countryside and read them frequently, they will look very special and easily arouse others' suspicion.

Now that there was a legitimate opportunity to review, Qingfeng Li naturally wanted to seize it.

Although the first-year college entrance examination is extremely simple and basically covers junior high school knowledge, the admission rate is only a few percentage points. Only about 600 candidates were admitted out of 20 million candidates. With such a probability, even if future generations have just graduated from college, and Li Qingfeng, who successfully passed the public examination and landed ashore, did not dare to be careless.

After everyone in the Educated Youth Courtyard learned that there would be one or two places, everyone started to take action. Everyone began to look around for review materials such as junior high school textbooks.

But what can I say about this thing? There is no college entrance examination now. Textbooks are borrowed directly after graduation. Some people just wipe their butts with the textbooks. Twelve educated youths can't even put together a complete set of high school textbooks. .

Even Hu Jiabao, a girl who always has her hands on books, does not have middle school or high school textbooks.

Now there is definitely no way to borrow textbooks from the village, so everyone gathered together and decided to go to the commune together to find a way to buy textbooks.

Braving the heavy snow and entering the commune, the educated youths were divided into two groups, the old educated youths and the new educated youths, each trying their best to get their middle and high school textbooks.

It's not that the two gangs can't move together, it's just that Zhao Haixia and Wang Xianglan's backpacks are bulging. It seems that these two people are going to make a shipment, and Qingfeng Li can't delay their actions.

"Brother Qingfeng, what should we do? Where can we buy textbooks?" Lin Zhaodi said weakly, looking at the retreating figures of the old educated youths.

Wang Weimin put forward his own idea: "How about going to the scrap collection station? There should be graduates selling books to scrap collectors."

"No, there is no need to waste time going to the scrap collection station. There is nothing there except rags. There is a scrap collection station near my home. I used to go there often when I was at home. Not to mention textbooks, you can even get a newspaper. Not found”

Speaking of the period novels read in later generations, everyone said that the scrap collection station was a good place and a must-see for time travellers. However, in Qingfeng Li's view, the scrap station was a complete garbage dump.

If there are big cities like Forty-nine Cities, Magic City, or places like Jiangnan where imperial examinations are prevalent, and there are many heirs of poems and books, it is possible to find good things at the scrap station, but in the scrap collection depots in small places, there is really nothing but rags. It's still in tatters, and I can't even find anything useful.

"What should we do? We are not familiar with the place. We can't go door to door and ask who has textbooks at home, right?" Hu Jiabao frowned and said worriedly.

Li Qingfeng stood there and thought for a while, and decided to go find the little glasses guy who sold pornographic books. He was in this business. He could even get banned books like Jin Ping Mei, but how many sets of middle and high school textbooks could he not get?

It must have been quite difficult for Little Spectacles at home. He was still looking for customers outside on such a snowy day. Li Qingfeng and others just scanned two streets and saw Little Spectacles squatting in front of someone else's house to hide from the snow.

After finding the real owner, Qingfeng Li quickly approached him, but what Qingfeng Li didn't expect was that before he could say anything, Little Glasses said in an unfriendly manner: "You're late, Jin Ping Mei has been sold to me. out"

Qingfeng Li: "."

Is it impossible to survive this Jin Ping Mei?Why is it that the first thing this grandson says every time he sees me is that he has sold the book Jin Ping Mei.

Fortunately, Qingfeng Li didn't ask so many people to follow him just now, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hide the fact that he wanted to see Jin Ping Mei.
