Chapter 2236 Cousin is a capitalist lady 62
When Zhang Hui heard the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, she was still working in the fields. The weather was about to cool down, and the annual winter break was approaching. There was a lot of work to be done in the fields.

Zhang Hui really felt that her old back was about to give out, and she didn't listen to what was being said over the loudspeaker. Anyway, it was all stuff that had nothing to do with her, and she just wanted to go back and rest.

Just then, she heard excited shouts and crying. What was going on? Why were they crying if it wasn't to tell her something?

Zhang Hui looked up abruptly and found that most of the people present were excited educated youth. As for the villagers, they didn't seem too excited. What was going on? Why were only the educated youth excited? What happened?
Just then, she heard that the college entrance examination was going to be reinstated? What? She could actually take the college entrance examination?
Why would the college entrance examination be reinstated out of nowhere? There was absolutely no word of it before. Wait, if the college entrance examination is really reinstated, will she still be able to take it?

She graduated many years ago. Even if she could take the college entrance examination, she has been out of school for many years and has forgotten most of it. How could she take the college entrance examination?
And she doesn't have any books either, what should we do? Wait, she doesn't have any, but there's Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu has books.

No, Zhang Yu will definitely take the college entrance exam too. Why would she agree to lend out the book? She wouldn't be happy to do it either.

She had already started reviewing and studying a few years ago, and it was unclear how well she had progressed. She... she should have a good chance of getting into university, right? Thinking of this, Zhang Hui's face fell. What would she do if she really did get into university?

Zhang Hui felt resentful. She was clearly the one with better grades, so why was it that in the end, Zhang Yu was more likely to get into university? She was really unwilling to accept it.

No, she clearly had better grades in school and was smarter than Zhang Yu, so there's no reason for her to be worse than her.

Yes, as long as Zhang Yu takes the college entrance examination, she will definitely take the college entrance examination as well.

The problem now is that she doesn't have any college entrance exam books. What should she do? She has to buy books. Without books, even if she can take the college entrance exam, it's all for nothing.

Yes, they had to buy books, they absolutely had to buy books. Many people had this thought, and many educated youth quickly asked for leave. Wang Ji was not surprised by their requests for leave and approved them all.

They rushed back to the educated youth settlement to get the money, and then quickly ran to the village entrance; they were going to the commune to buy books.

Zhang Yu watched them rush out in a swarm, knowing they were probably going to buy books. She could only shake her head slightly. Now many people knew about the news and everyone wanted to buy books. If they tried to get to the city center as soon as possible, there was still a chance.

They actually discussed going to the commune to buy books. Going to the commune at this time? That's really stupid. The commune is so small. Zhang Yu has been to that bookstore before. It's really not big. How much stock could it possibly have?

Even if there was any stock left, it had long been swept up by people near the commune. Oh well, it's none of her business. Even if she told them, would they believe her?

The educated youth rushed out in a swarm, leaving only a few behind, which made them stand out. An older woman who worked with Zhang Yu asked her curiously, "Why don't you go buy books?"

“When I came, I had already brought my high school books with me.”

"Ah, you have high school books?" an older woman exclaimed excitedly.

Zhang Yu nodded, "Yes, I brought all my books here because I was worried about being bored. I thought that if some villages were recruiting teachers, the educated youth would have a chance. But we never got the chance to be recruited. And now they're going to reinstate the college entrance examination."

People weren't really concerned about why Zhang Yu brought her high school books; what they cared about was that she had books.

"Um, um, can we borrow it?" an older woman asked cautiously.

“Sure, sure.” Zhang Yu knew that these books would definitely be lent out, since she had already taken notes beforehand. “But as you know, I’m living in the educated youth settlement, so it would be best if they could buy the books themselves.”

“If they don’t manage to buy the books, they’ll want to borrow them from me,” Zhang Yu said, indicating that Zhang Hui knew she had brought textbooks and would definitely ask. Everyone thought it made sense; Zhang Yu worked with them, but while they weren’t really that close, the most important thing was that two of the educated youth were her sisters. Even if their relationship wasn’t great, they were still sisters, and she couldn’t ignore each other when it came to something as important as the college entrance exam.

"How about this, you can borrow one book at a time and take turns copying it. Actually, the best way is to buy books."

"How to distribute the spoils will be discussed between the village chief and Xiao Lei." Zhang Yu didn't have that much time to deal with these matters.

A group of people quickly ran to the commune. Along the way, they saw other educated youths also riding in oxcarts heading straight to the commune, which made them anxious. They were worried that when they got there, they would find that there were no books left.

When they arrived at the commune, they found that the bookstore was already crowded with people, and Zhang Hui felt a chill run down her spine.

How could there be so many people? The commune bookstore wasn't big, and even if it had stock, with so many people, they wouldn't even have a chance to buy anything.

What to do? At this moment, someone with a quick mind suggested, "Let's go to the county town to buy it."

Yes, they go to the county town to buy them; the bookstores there are big, so they can always find them.

Just then, the people who arrived from behind were stunned to see that there were also many people gathered at the commune. "Why are there so many people here?"

"No way, there are more people here than in the bookstores in the county town."

As soon as they said that, everyone who was preparing to go to the county town was stunned. "No way, there aren't any books in the county town either."

"Yes, they've been gone for a long time. You all don't know, but some well-informed people said there were no books left in the city yesterday. We thought the commune should have books, but alas..."

Oh dear, they knew the bookstores in the county town didn't have any books, and they were thinking of going to the city to buy books first thing tomorrow morning. Who would have thought that even the city didn't have any books? What are they going to do now?

Just then, a voice came from inside saying there were no books.

After hearing the voice inside say there were no books, Zhang Hui and Zhang Juan looked at each other and said, "Let's go back."

There are no books in the city, no books in the county, and now even the commune has no books. Zhang Hui knows that all she can do now is look for Zhang Yu.

Zhang Juan was actually more panicked. She hadn't even graduated from high school, and her grades weren't very good. Having not gone to school for so many years, she had long forgotten what her teachers had taught her.

She really lacked confidence in taking the college entrance examination, but Zhang Hui was right. Everyone was in a similar situation, and whether or not someone was a high school graduate didn't matter at all.

She wanted to give it a try; if she could actually get into university, she could leave this place.

What to do now that there are no books? Zhang Juan felt lost.

The people on the oxcart were also quite bewildered. They had finally seen a glimmer of hope, but then the faint light went out. What were they going to do?
