In an era where no one was willing to study, if Zhao Xiangyun was able to study, with a good education, she could indeed walk down a broad road.
Otherwise, he would have to work as a worker. In the seventies and eighties, workers were still very popular.
Not to mention the high monthly salary, if he worked hard enough and had the brains, he would still be able to get a house in the city.
At this time, the house was still not allowed to be sold freely. Only in the eighties and nineties, mainly in the early nineties, did it become a commercial house.
However, before that, Zhao Xiangyun would have to save more money to buy 10 sets of 8 rooms. After the value of the houses rose, her dreams of becoming a rich woman would come true again.
Withdrawing her thoughts, Zhao Xiangyun looked at the man, "How many books do you have? Give me how many? I'll give you two of these grains for one catty. "
Two pieces was the current price of Zhao Xiangyun's black market trade, which was already selling at a very low price.
Otherwise, if she sold it for three to five yuan and didn't get a ticket, she would still be crazily robbed.
The man was stupefied when he heard it was only two pounds. It took him a long time to recover his wits. "You …" "Come with me."
The books were all in the man's house, so he had to go back first before he could take them for Zhao Xiangyun.
Zhao Xiangyun followed the man to his house and waited nearby.
When the man came over with the books, Zhao Xiangyun immediately went up to greet him. "Uncle …"
"These are all books that I don't need, you... If you like it, take it! " The man said.
Zhao Xiangyun said, "Thank you!"
He handed the food over to the man.
After grabbing the grain, the man looked around to make sure there was no one around before he heaved a sigh of relief.
"You … You really want to study? " the man asked.
Zhao Xiangyun nodded, "Yes!"
"I …" The man stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Zhao Xiangyun said to him, "Uncle, if you have anything you want to say, please be direct with me. If it's something that we can discuss, we can discuss it properly."
Hearing Zhao Xiangyun's words, the man finally spoke, "I can teach you, but … You have to sell me grain, not tickets. "
As he said this, the man's face reddened.
He felt rather embarrassed.
However, he was in a predicament, and there was nothing he could do.
"Alright!" Zhao Xiangyun did not hesitate.
She didn't know how skilled the person before her was.
However, there was one thing she needed, and that was a teacher to guide her.
If he were to become a star in the future, he could also say that he had gone to look for his teacher in private.
Otherwise, with the original owner's lack of interest in studying and his lack of knowledge, he would be suspected of being the top scorer in the college entrance exam.
With a teacher guiding her, it would be different. No one knew the level of this teacher, even if finding Xiangyun would flatter her like flowers falling from the sky, no one would doubt it.
"You really …" "Are you willing?" The man looked at Zhao Xiangyun in shock.
"Of course! But I live in the countryside, so it's not easy for me to come here. We can set a time. " Zhao Xiangyun said.
In this era, writing letters was the most common form of communication.
Send the telegram as soon as you can.
However, these two methods were not suitable for her and the man in front of her.
Therefore, it was best to set a time.
"Alright …"
"Uncle, bring the thing back first. We'll talk about it in detail when we get out." Zhao Xiangyun said.
It was not safe to talk with food in hand.
After hearing Zhao Xiangyun's words, the man carried the food and quickly entered the house.
When he came out again, he was holding Zhao Xiangyun's empty cloth bag.
Without the food in his hands, the man's mood relaxed a lot.
Through their conversation, Zhao Xiangyun found out that the man's name was Shen Wen Ci. She was not only a teacher, but also a university professor.
It was just that a while ago, his old mother had passed away, so he had taken a leave of absence to come back and mourn.
Now that his old mother was gone, Shen Wenzi was too sad to have the courage to stand on the platform.
Two days earlier, he had sent a letter of resignation to the headmaster, preparing to spend a few years in the same place where his old mother had been, to ease his yearning.
However, the issue of eating in front of him had made things difficult for Shen Wenzi.
His household registration was in the provincial capital, as well as his food relations.
Even if he had the food voucher book, it would be of no use.
Fortunately, he had saved some money and tickets.
It was just that after two to three months, he had used up most of the food stamps and only had a little money left.
However, in this era, without a ticket, it was impossible to do so.
It was also because of this that Professor Shen Shen Wen Ci thought of coming to the black market to do business with someone.
When Zhao Xiangyun found out that Shen Wen Ci was a university professor, she truly thought that she had picked up a treasure.
In this era, all the university students were made of gold.
In a county, there were only a few of them, not to mention the professors who taught university students.
Zhao Xiangyun and Shen Wen Ci had an agreement to take a day off every week to teach Zhao Xiangyun.
Begin with elementary school knowledge.
Every month, Zhao Xiangyun would provide Shen Wen Ci with 20 kilograms of coarse and fine grains. At the same time, Shen Wen Ci would pay her money.
After finishing their agreement, Zhao Xiangyun and Shen Wen Ci spoke out from the bottom of their hearts, "Uncle Shen, this can't be considered a long-term solution! Or, you can transfer the grain relationship back to the provincial capital and collect the grain for every month in the county.
Either you put the food voucher in the hands of someone you trust and let him collect the food for you, you can give him a little benefit and be responsible for the cost of mailing it. Ask him to send you food every month.
Of course, this way, I can directly provide you with fine rations. "
The supply of twenty-one kilograms of food commodities every month was mainly made up of coarse grains.
But she had heard that there would be more professors.
It seemed to be more than ten kilograms, about thirty kilograms, or even forty-five kilograms. Zhao Xiangyun was not too clear about this since it was better than an ordinary person's.
The former, Professor Shen had never considered.
Professor Shen had considered the latter.
However, back then, he had wholeheartedly focused on teaching. Other than his friends from his student days, there weren't any close colleagues in the school.
He didn't want to trouble others either.
"Thank you, little girl." Professor Shen said to Zhao Xiangyun.
"It's fine, it's getting late, I have to go! "Thank you for your book. When I return, I'll give you some more vegetables." Zhao Xiangyun said.
With that, he carried the heavy book and left step by step.
Shen Wen Ci stared at Zhao Xiangyun's leaving figure, and only regained her senses after a long while.
He turned around and entered the house.
Zhao Xiangyun found a secluded place and kept all the books inside. After resting for a while, she walked out.
Originally, she wanted to go directly to Li Jianshe's home, but she found out that the place she was staying at was somewhat close to Aunt Luo's home.
Thinking about Aunt Luo, who she had not seen for a long time, Zhao Xiangyun carried the food back to Aunt Luo.
But this time, she didn't just take the food, she also prepared some vegetables.
And then there was the good Fatty Wu Hua.
