Fast travel to the front line of eating melons in the world

Chapter 2203 Cousin is a capitalist lady 29
Zhao Yadong immediately understood. Although there was a lock, it was impossible to prevent someone with malicious intent from entering. "Okay, I'll go and change it for you."

"But that depends on the situation."

"It's alright." Zhang Yu wouldn't take the money; money depreciates, but gold doesn't.

Moreover, if she were to buy a courtyard house in the future, trading with gold would definitely be better than paying cash, so she wanted to work hard to exchange it for gold bars.

As for telling Zhao Yadong that gold bars are easy to hide, that's just fooling people. All important things, such as ID cards and money, should be stored in the space, which is the safest place.

It's not that we don't have money in the dormitory, just not much, only about ten yuan. If we don't keep money here, people will find it suspicious.

Zhao Yadong always felt that gold was too heavy and would make noise, but after listening to Zhang Yu's analysis, he immediately felt that gold was a better choice.

Gold can be wrapped up and buried in the ground, and it will be fine if it is dug up later. But if it is money, it may not be able to be preserved.

"By the way, the autumn harvest is coming soon. I heard that everyone gets busy during the harvest season, so you can't relax either," Qian Hao relayed the message. "After the harvest, we'll go up the mountain to gather firewood."

Zhang Yu nodded, "I know." Winters in Northeast China are cold and long, so it's essential to have plenty of firewood.

"Do you need help?" Zhao Yadong knew that relying on Zhang Hui to gather firewood was unrealistic; in the end, they might still need Zhang Yu.

"No need, I'll talk to Zhang Hui and let her handle it herself. If she really can't do it, it's okay, let her pay for it."

Zhang Yu knew that the village offered this service: "It only costs a few yuan to prepare firewood for the whole winter."

"Anyway, if she doesn't spend money, she shouldn't expect me to get firewood from her." It was the first year of wintering in Northeast China, so it was essential to establish the rules.

Qian Hao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's how it should be. If you help get it done this year, then it'll all be your responsibility from now on."

Zhang Yu nodded, "I plan to get some pine nuts and chestnuts, so we can eat them when we're cooped up indoors during the winter."

"I'll just read some books along the way." Zhao Yadong knew that Zhang Yu had gone to the recycling station to get junior and senior high school books when he went to the city before, and he found that interesting.

"Other people go to the junkyard to find treasures, but when you go there, you end up buying books."

"And then they went through all the trouble of moving it back from the city." Zhao Yadong really didn't know what Zhang Yu was thinking.

“Otherwise, what would I do in winter? Besides, I’m confident that one day the college entrance exam will be reinstated.” Zhang Yu thought Qian Hao and Zhao Yadong were decent people and not gossipy, which is why she offered these reminders.

Of course, she also knew that even without her reminder, Qian Hao and the others would surely have guessed it.

Qian Hao looked up at Zhang Yu in surprise. He knew that before he went to the countryside, his father had talked to him about the college entrance examination. His father also believed that the college entrance examination would be reinstated sooner or later and told him to persevere in studying.

But who could have known that Zhang Yu would also guess? After he learned that she had picked up junior and senior high school books from the city's recycling station, he had this idea, but he hadn't been able to say it before, and he was too embarrassed to ask.

Zhang Yu knew that Qian Hao was aware of what was going on when he looked up. "You think so too?"

Qian Hao hummed in agreement, "My dad said the same thing, telling me not to give up reading no matter what." Huh? Zhao Yadong had heard Qian Hao mention this before, and at that time he thought Uncle Qian and his friend were crazy. How could they have such an idea? It really seemed incredibly difficult.

Who would have thought that both Uncle Qian and Qian Hao thought this way, and now with Zhang Yu added to the mix, "Will it really recover?"

If the college entrance examination could really be reinstated, then he could leave this small village. Although he could earn more money here as an educated youth than back in his hometown, if Zhao Yadong had to choose, he would of course want to go home. Being a farmer is really not easy.

"I don't know." Zhang Yu knew, of course, that the college entrance examination would be reinstated, but she couldn't be too certain, since it was still uncertain. She couldn't be too cocky, or she might really run into trouble.

"I just feel that if the college entrance examination is not reinstated, something really bad will happen." Zhang Yu insisted that the college entrance examination must be reinstated.

Zhao Yadong rolled his eyes at Zhang Yu's analysis and response, saying, "Your answer really didn't say anything at all. I was completely confused when I heard it."

"Many projects need talent, so why select from universities? Because they have more knowledge. But look at how people get into universities now, it's all through recommendations. As a result, students' grades don't matter."

"The important thing is whether there are connections." At first, the selection process was at least fair, and the candidates were carefully screened. But now it really depends on connections. As for the students' qualifications, they don't matter.

"Even if those people go to university, will they be able to understand it?"

"If we let someone like that do research and development, something bad will happen sooner or later, so..." Having said all that, if someone still couldn't understand, Zhang Yu didn't know how else to explain.

Zhao Yadong finally understood. "I see. That makes sense. Smart people are really something; they can analyze things just by looking at some data."

Qian Hao didn't want him to hear those words of praise, so he asked, "Then do you read books?"

"Well," Zhao Yadong scratched his head, "I, I, although I am a high school graduate, if it weren't for you, Xiao Hao, I really might not have graduated from high school."

"I really passed the exam with a low score. Do you think I can get into university?" Who doesn't want to go to university? It's just that this path has been blocked now. In a few years, the college entrance examination may be reinstated, but he will have been out of school for many years. By then, he may have forgotten everything his teachers taught him.

"You know your grades aren't good," Qian Hao said irritably. "Since you already know your grades aren't great, why don't you study harder?"

“Others study for one or two years, and you study for three, four, or five years. I don’t believe that once the college entrance examination is reinstated, you won’t be able to get a good score.” Qian Hao knew that his friend was actually not that bad.

If Zhao Yadong could be given a good learning environment, his grades would definitely not be bad.

“Zhao Yadong, you’re really not stupid. If you had more time to study like your younger siblings, your grades would definitely be better than theirs.” Qian Hao knew that to get Zhao Yadong to start studying again, he had to restore his confidence.

“Yes, my grades aren’t good either. My mom says I’m stupid. I’m older than Zhang Hui, but my grades aren’t as good as hers.” Zhang Yu thought that the reason Qian Hao and Zhao Yadong thought she was good was probably because she and Zhao Yadong had similar experiences.

"Let's work together and strive for our future."

“If we were still at home, we wouldn’t have this opportunity, but here, anything is possible. We can’t give up on ourselves,” Zhang Yu encouraged Zhao Yadong.

“Yes, we can’t give up on ourselves.” Even Zhang Yu is making every effort, so why would he think about giving up?
