"Shh, let's talk about these things when we get back, okay?" Gu Shichu quickly stopped her. She had to keep a low profile when doing this kind of thing, otherwise if she was reported, she would die and lose her skin.
Zhang Weihong showed a clear expression and looked stern, and did not mention the matter again, but they already knew it in their hearts.
Gu Shichu suddenly remembered that it was already 2011, and the college entrance examination would resume in five years, so she asked Zhang Weihong: "How old are you now? Have you finished junior high school or high school?"
Zhang Weihong looked proud when talking about her academic qualifications: "I am eighteen years old and have graduated from high school! My grades in school were among the best!"
Gu Shichu looked at the audience with an envious expression and said, "Wow! You are so awesome. Then you must like reading very much. Did you bring any books with you to continue studying when you went to the countryside?"
"Of course, I have brought all my high school textbooks. I want to read them when I have free time and review them. My dad wants me to be more active when working, so that I can be recommended to go to the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers University. , I have never given up studying." Zhang Weihong said proudly. Now she has a high high school education, but she is a pursuing person and still wants to go to college. Naturally, she has to review her knowledge from time to time to avoid actually going to college. Behind others.
Gu Shichu felt happy and immediately said: "You are indeed a diligent and studious person, and you will definitely be able to go to college successfully. By the way, can I borrow your book to read?"
She said to Zhang Weihong with an embarrassed look on her face: "I went to junior high school for one year and then had no money to continue my studies. I am very envious that you can go to high school. The knowledge in high school must be different from that in junior high school. It is much more profound, right? It's a pity that I don't have this blessing. I continue to study, so I thought it would be good to take a look at the high school textbooks, so that I can be considered someone who has something to do with high school..."
Gu Shichu spoke so sincerely that Zhang Weihong was instantly moved by her "sincerity and seriousness" towards learning and knowledge. She immediately patted her chest and said boldly: "If you have the spirit of pursuing knowledge and continuous learning, of course I will I lent you the textbook! If you can’t understand, I can teach you.”
She was so enthusiastic and sincere in wanting to help her that Gu Shichu felt a little guilty that her purpose was not as simple as she imagined.
"Thank you, I will definitely take good care of your books, and I will ask you for advice if I have any questions." Gu Shichu said to her movedly, thinking that Zhang Weihong was so sincere to her, so when the college entrance examination was about to resume, she would Remind Zhang Weihong so that she can have more time to review, so that she will be more likely to be admitted to college.
Of course, Gu Shichu also wanted to take the college entrance examination. She could not stay in Zhoujia Village as a village girl all her life, and taking the college entrance examination was the most convenient and reliable way to enter the city in this era.
Only in a big city could Gu Shichu live like a fish in water, free and without so many constraints.
Although the original owner failed to go to high school, she had finished elementary school and spent a year in junior high school. She would ask Zhang Weihong to make up for her classes. Although it would be shocking to be admitted to college, it would not arouse so much suspicion.
Originally, Gu Shichu was worried about not being able to find high school textbooks, but she didn't expect that Zhang Weihong had them, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Having planned his study tasks for the next few years, Gu Shichu was in a happy mood and walked especially energetically.
More than an hour later, they arrived at the county town. Gu Shichu and the aunt who also brought eggs went to the supply and marketing cooperative, returned the eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative, and then parted ways.
She found a remote and uninhabited place, entered the companion space and disguised herself as a thin middle-aged man with a beard.
Gu Shichu had not forgotten his previous ability to track and investigate, and he quickly followed the traces to find the hidden black market.
People in the black market are very vigilant, their bargaining voices are kept low, and everyone is always on guard.
Gu Shichu stood on the roadside with the fish in the bucket, waiting for interested customers to inquire about the price.
Soon a middle-aged woman in her thirties saw the fish running around in her bucket and asked in a low voice: "How can I sell this fish?"
Gu Shichu had learned about prices in the supply and marketing cooperative, so he replied: "Eight cents per catty."
"So expensive? The price sold in the supply and marketing cooperative is only 56 cents per pound!" the middle-aged woman said in surprise.
"The supply and marketing cooperative requires meat coupons, but I don't use it. Of course it is more expensive. Besides, my fish grows much better, with less meat and bones! It has high nutritional value and is most suitable for the elderly and children at home." Gu Shichu promoted.
The middle-aged woman hesitated and murmured: "This is too expensive... Can it be cheaper? Seven cents per pound?"
Gu Shichu flatly refused: "No! I don't have to worry about selling my fish."
Seeing how firmly she refused, the middle-aged woman could only grit her teeth and said, "Then give me a small one."
Gu Shichu borrowed a scale from the vegetable seller next door and weighed a fish for her: "Five catties and three taels, just give me four yuan and two cents." The middle-aged woman paid the money painfully, holding the fish quickly Step left.
It didn't take long for Gu Shichu to sell the remaining fish. She also took the fungus, mushrooms and other wild products she had picked from the companion space to sell. These things are durable and are therefore very popular. Welcome, not long after, Gu Shichu earned almost a hundred yuan.
Once she had money, she immediately changed from a seller to a buyer. There were quite a lot of things sold in the black market and they were quite miscellaneous. Gu Shichu went from stall to stall and bought what he wanted to buy. He just made a bold move. , so for a while everyone began to promote their own things to her.
"Brother, do you want some defective cloth?" A man in his twenties took Gu Shichu's arm and asked in a low voice, "It's just that the color is not dyed well, it doesn't hinder usability, and it's still blue. The clothes are made to be durable and stain-resistant.”
Gu Shichu stopped and said, "Let's take a look?"
The young man pulled her to a secret corner and showed her the cloth.
Gu Shichu took a look and found that the cloths were indeed not dyed well and the patterns were smudged, but there was no problem in using them.
Although Gu Shichu wanted to dress better, there was no need in her space, and she only had the cloth ticket given by Ji Mingtao, and there was no way to buy enough clothes or fabrics, so she had to do as the Romans do and buy these imperfections. Cloth makes its own clothes.
"How to sell?" Gu Shichu asked.
"Two dollars a foot!" said the young man.
"This is too expensive! It's still a defective cloth, and it's not in good condition. Can't it be cheaper?" This time it was Gu Shichu's turn to bargain.
The young man rolled his eyes: "Brother, you don't need to pay for this. How can you make it cheaper? I'm taking a big risk by selling it."
Gu Shichu was speechless. She only felt that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi would be someone else's turn to criticize her. Negotiating the price was fruitless, so she had to buy a four-foot piece of cloth for two yuan a foot.
