Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

As for you saying I'm lying, I didn't lie to you, don't you know?

Anyway, I didn’t lie to you, you can believe it or not! "

"But, we, we..."

"Can we borrow some of your books?"

Even in such a situation, there are still people asking to borrow books from me. They are really shameless, I said with some unhappiness.

“It’s not that I won’t lend it to you, but when I first learned that the college entrance examination had been resumed, I mailed the complete set of textbooks at home to Guo Dong.

After all, he has only graduated for two years, and we also hope that he can take the exam.

As for my two children, the books they are reading now are the ones I bought from the scrap yard.”

When I saw that they all looked unhappy when I heard that we were going to use old books, I knew that they were somewhat disgusted.

But at this time, and under this situation, how could he be so kind as to let them go? He asked them again.

"how?

Are you not going to borrow it just because you hear it’s an old book?

Is this your attitude towards learning?

With your current status, you still want to take the exam and get into your ideal university, but I'm afraid it's just a daydream."

"This, then, then we..."

"What did you say?

I, we don’t mean that.”

"That's right, we, we just..."

"Okay, I've finished what I want to say. If you don't have anything else, don't stop here. I still have to go to work."

"No, I, we..."

Seeing that they had not left yet and were still blocking his way, he asked angrily.

“I say to you too, what’s wrong with old books? As long as they can be used, why do you care whether they are old or not?

Since you have the time to stop me, why don’t you go to the county town and try your luck.

Even if you don't buy a new set of textbooks, you can at least exchange some of them, right?

If you block me, can you compile a book for no reason?

If I had that ability, why would we have to worry about three children using the same set of books to go to school?"

"But even if we go now, I'm afraid we won't be able to get the whole set, right?"

"If I can't get the full set, does that mean I don't have to learn it?

Or does your attitude guarantee that you will be admitted to university?

There is no plan at all, just want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, how can there be any gains without any efforts?"

"me……"

"Mother of Guo Feng, if there are missing parts in the textbooks we are able to exchange, can you lend them to us and pass them around?"

Hearing what he said, I knew that this educated youth had some ideas. Then I looked again and found that he had been in the brigade for a few years and had not had much contact with my family. There were no misunderstandings, and I had never heard of anything bad about him.

"Ugh!

I also know that it is not easy for you, so let's be clear in advance. If you can agree, I will agree to lend you the book. "

"You said that we must do whatever we can do."

"Yes, yes, you say, and we'll listen."

"It's nothing, actually. I just hope that you will return the books in the same way as I lend them to you. After all, our children also need to read and review books."

"Don't worry about that. We promise to take good care of the books and will never damage them."

"So this is the request. We assure you that there is absolutely no problem."

"Yes, absolutely no problem."

"Okay, then you guys go to the scrap yard and have a look!

If you need that book later, as long as we have it at home, I will agree to lend it to you on behalf of the two children."

"Thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you so much."

"Okay, it's getting late, you should hurry into the city!

I think there will be a lot of people coming into the city at this time. It depends on you whether you can find the books you need."

"That's right, let's go, let's go quickly."

"Yes, yes, we can't let others get there first..."

Just like that, all the educated youth in the team asked for leave and went to the city.

When I saw them come back in the afternoon, I saw that they looked listless, so I knew that they probably didn't get many books.

They didn't need to say much to know that many people were heading to the county town. If they couldn't buy books in the bookstore, they would go to the scrap yard to try their luck.

But not everyone is so lucky. One reason is that the books are incomplete, and another is that most of them are damaged.

Fortunately, they did not hesitate and listened to the advice of Guo Feng's mother. Otherwise, they might not be able to get the only three books. It seems that they can only borrow them from others.

When they blocked him on the road again, he spoke first without them saying anything.

“Looking at you like this, I know what’s going on.

In this way, you can send a representative to come back to our house to get the books. They can only take two books at a time. If there are more of you, you can copy them separately. I believe it won’t take long to finish copying.

How about returning it when you are done with it and exchanging it for another book?"

Hearing this, they asked uncertainly.

"Is it really possible?"

"Why not? It's just borrowing books.

It's not a big deal. As long as you can promise not to damage the books, everything is fine.

If I find that a book is damaged in the slightest, you won't be able to borrow any more books.

Although there are not only our family members who have high school students in Huangzhuang Brigade, but also several others who have attended high school, I am afraid that there are not many people who can lend books to you unconditionally at this critical moment, right?"

"Yes, in that case, we would like to thank you in advance.

Wait for us..."

"Okay, thank you. You have been in our team for a while. Don't you know what kind of people we are?

Besides, it’s not easy for you to leave your hometown and come here.

Our family is in the same situation. To be honest, we wouldn't mind helping you at this time.

But you have to know that this opportunity is rare, so you should study hard first! "

"That's right. We won't say anything more. If you need us in the future, you can speak."

"Yes, you speak."

"Okay, okay, now is not the time to talk about this, you should go back and review well!

While there is still time, hurry up and study. As long as you can get into college, you will have a chance to leave here. Otherwise, you will have no chance at all."

"Yes, yes, let's go, hurry back and review. You must seize this opportunity, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life."

"Who says it's not?

Let’s go, let’s go back quickly!

As long as I can get all the books together, I will persevere even if I have to work very hard."

"Me too!"

"That's right, let's work together."

That's true, but most of them have never looked at their textbooks since they came to the countryside.
