Black Tech Scholar

Obviously, the boss failed to receive the signal of Liao Yuanbai's request.He looked at the brand new books, and then at Liao Yuanbai's clothes.It was confirmed that Liao Yuanbai was not a rich man. In the small town of [-], there were not many rich people at all.

So the boss pursed his lips and said, "How about it, five books, two yuan for each book, and a total of ten yuan for you, what do you think?"

Hearing the boss's words, Liao Yuanbai swallowed his saliva, and touched the crumpled five yuan in his pocket with his hand.Blinking his eyes, he didn't have any extra money.It's five dollars short.Of course, before Liao Yuanbai went back to the past.Five dollars was nothing, but now five dollars stumped him.

The eyeballs kept turning, and there was a long silence in the bookstore for a while.The sound of motorcycles on the road came to the ears of the two of them, and Liao Yuanbai suddenly thought that he was still a primary school student.

With an idea, he lowered his head in embarrassment and said in a soft tone, "Uncle, I only have five yuan on me. Look, you can't sell this book here. Why don't you sell him to me? I'm already six yuan. I'm a student in the first grade. After the summer vacation, I can go to junior high school, and I don't need to buy books from you at all."

The boss didn't speak, and put his hands on his chest, as if he was waiting for him to speak.

"Look, people from this middle school don't come here to buy books." Liao Yuanbai took a breath, his white and tender face was slightly red.Blinking his eyes, he looked at the boss with some embarrassment, "Why don't you just sell these books to me."

"Five yuan?" The boss said blankly.

"En." Liao Yuanbai felt a little nervous, this was the first time he bargained with others.Before, his family conditions were not good.But I don't like to bargain with others, and I usually buy something.After asking the price, if you can buy it, there will be money.If you can't buy it, turn around and leave.

He didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing at all, and of course there was no way.The system wants him to finish learning the knowledge of the first grade of junior high school within one month.He can only bargain with the boss. He knows that his mother doesn't have much money at all.

Perhaps, if he said that he wanted to buy junior high school books.His mother would definitely give him enough money, but it would be best if the price could be negotiated for this kind of thing.

To save his mother from having to live frugally, not to mention, he will definitely go to a key middle school.That place is a very expensive place, although there are subsidies for poor students every semester.But aside from tuition fees, what about other expenses for purchasing tutoring assignments, miscellaneous expenses and accommodation fees?

Thinking of this, Liao Yuanbai started to have a headache.

Turning his face sideways, he took a peek at the boss' expression.It seemed that the boss was a little hesitant, and Liao Yuanbai, who was still anxious, was delighted by his indecisive appearance.

He thought he was out of action, but he never expected it.I told the actual situation, the middle school in this town is really not good.Those who wanted to continue their studies would go to a better middle school in the town next door.How can I still study in this school, and the students in this school are either going to go out to work, or they don't want to study to waste time every day.

No one would come to buy the books back. Thinking of this, the boss gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, five yuan is five yuan." In fact, these brand-new books were bought by him from a student in the school. , I bought it for four yuan.The student seemed to want to play a game, there were no game rooms in this town.

The boss naturally saw the anxious look of the students, so he exchanged these books for four yuan.I heard that this student is going to work soon.Holding these books is of no use.

So, the boss bought these brand new books for four yuan with peace of mind.

Liao Yuanbai breathed a sigh of relief, took out the wrinkled five yuan from his trouser pocket and handed it to the boss, and said in a low voice, "Hey, this is the money, I will take these books away." He winked at the boss After rolling his eyes, the shriveled little man picked up the books, bowed to the boss and said, "Thank you, boss."

The boss still had no expression on his face, just hummed slightly.

Liao Yuanbai was afraid that the boss would go back on his word, so he ran out of the bookstore in a hurry.No matter how cold the weather outside is, the Spring Festival is about to enter, and after the new year, the graduation exam will be held.

After returning home, Liao Yuanbai thought, he still has a month to go, including the Chinese New Year time.Of course, their family will not visit during the Chinese New Year, just him and his mother at home.After the elementary school graduation examination, the junior high school entrance examination will come in June. If you want to go to a key middle school and get a stipend for poor students-obviously, it is not enough to just learn the level of the first grade of junior high school.

Liao Yuanbai has never been to a key middle school, but he has heard rumors about key middle schools more than once.Whether it is in the city or in the province.

If you want to go to a key class, you may have to learn Olympic mathematics to keep up with the teacher's rhythm.Thinking of this, Liao Yuanbai had a terrible headache.Speaking of which, in his previous life, he studied liberal arts.I don't care about mathematics at all.It can even be said to be his weakness.

But there is no way, who let him set up such a system.

It still smells like ink, brand new junior high school books.Liao Yuanbai looked at it seriously, probably because there was a transition period with elementary school.The books in the first volume of junior high school are still quite simple.He doesn't even need to think about it, he can keep it in his heart just by reading a rough idea.

It may also be because of his studies. Many years have passed, but he has studied after all.After quickly reading the Chinese in the first volume of the first year of junior high school, he started to read it in English.

For the English book, Liao Yuanbai has very complicated feelings.

At first his English was not very good, but after being taught by his high school teacher, although he could do the questions.But—if he really wanted to say it, it would be embarrassing.

Most of the students are like this, they can do English questions, but they can't speak.

Of course, the English in the first volume of junior high school is not complicated.And many words were often used in the previous life.It's just that time passed quickly, while he was reading English books.Mother had opened the door and walked in.He didn't even hear the sound of the door opening, and he was still looking at the English book in his hand with relish.

Fortunately, the living room lights were on.Even so, his eyes still felt sour.Rubbing his eyes, he raised his head and saw his mother looking at him kindly.

"Xiaobai, do you feel better now?" Mother asked worriedly, reaching out her hand to touch his forehead.

After a while, Liao Yuanbai heard his mother's relieved voice, "It's better today, but Xiaobai still needs to pay attention." When he said this, his mother paused.It was natural to see the English text in Liao Yuanbai's hand, "What is Xiaobai looking at?"

Liao Yuanbai said with some embarrassment, "I am studying English in junior high school."

His mother was still a gentle woman, and gave a soft snort, "Since Xiaobai wants to study hard, then mom won't bother you. What would Xiaobai want to eat at night?"

"It's all right." Liao Yuanbai naturally knew that there was nothing at home, so he didn't say what he wanted to eat.

Mother showed a bitter smile, she was a woman.The pressure of life is all on her weak shoulders, and sometimes she really can't bear it anymore.If she hadn't thought about it, her son was still young...Of course, her child is now a little more obedient than before.

She was already reading junior high school textbooks, and she thought that next year would be the junior high school exam... She really wanted her son to go to a key middle school in the city.Whether it is the strength of the teachers or the atmosphere of the whole school, they are incomparable in these towns.Thinking of this, she squatted down and asked in a low voice, "Xiaobai, I have been reading junior high school books so early, do you want to be admitted to a key middle school in the city?"

Liao Yuanbai nodded heavily, "I must be admitted to a key middle school in the market."

There was a gratified smile on the mother's tired face, she pursed her lips and said, "Well, Xiaobai must study hard, otherwise the key middle schools in the city will not accept you."

Liao Yuanbai thought that he had done the exam questions of key middle schools in the city.It's not very difficult, and it can even be said to be very simple.Of course, he couldn't be so careless.That was the best junior high school in the city. Thinking of this, Liao Yuanbai read the book seriously.

The mother was talking about something, halfway through, she found that Liao Yuanbai was reading the book seriously.She didn't speak, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

After a while, the sound of "gulu, gulu" boiling water sounded.Mother was busy in the kitchen under the dim light.Liao Yuanbai held the English book and read it unconsciously.He also remembered that his high school teacher had told them that reading it aloud would strengthen their memory.

He read it involuntarily, and when his mother heard Liao Yuanbai's reading, her nose couldn't help but ache.Then he thought again, his son finally became sensible, and understood the truth that if he didn't study, he would have no way out, so he pursed his lips as if laughing.

Soon dinner was ready, Liao Yuanbai put down his book.The mother glanced at the English book and said in surprise, "Xiaobai, do you really know how to pronounce these English words?"

My mother knew that the English teachers in elementary schools were not responsible at all, so many students did not really learn English until they went to middle school.For students in key middle schools, it will be very difficult if they only start contacting in junior high school.

Liao Yuanbai said nonchalantly while eating, "The teacher has read it, I remember it. And, if there is something I don't understand, I will ask the teacher."

The mother still seemed a little uneasy, hesitant to speak, as if she wanted to say something.
