Chapter 68 Buying Books
After buying the house, Wang Meifang told Su Nuannuan that she would be moving out within a week. When she moved out, she would have Zhao Yalan notify Su Nuannuan to come and take over the house.

Su Nuannuan wasn't in a hurry to move in. Therefore, she didn't urge Wang Meifang to move out quickly.

After settling the remaining 500 yuan, Wang Meifang took the initiative to invite Su Nuannuan to dinner at a state-run restaurant.

When they arrived at the state-run restaurant, Wang Meifang ordered many dishes, including roast duck, braised pork, and steamed spare ribs with rice flour...

In the end, none of the three finished their food, so Wang Meifang asked Su Nuannuan to pack it into a lunchbox to take home. She had ordered so much food so that Su Nuannuan and Zhao Yalan could take some back with them.

Su Nuannuan hadn't originally planned to bring anyone, but then she thought of Hong Xiu. Although she and Hong Xiu had only known each other for a few days, she knew that Hong Xiu was a very frugal person. She never ordered meat dishes when eating out.

With that in mind, Su Nuannuan packed two aluminum lunchboxes, intending to take them back for Hong Xiu to eat.

The food was quite substantial at this time. Therefore, even after Su Nuannuan packed two aluminum lunchboxes, there was still quite a bit left. In the end, Zhao Yalan took the rest home. Originally, Zhao Yalan didn't need the food, but Wang Meifang said that if she didn't take it, it would have to stay. Finally, Zhao Yalan agreed to take the leftovers home.

Although the Chu family had no shortage of food, Zhao Yalan knew how precious food was, as many people didn't eat meat more than a few times a year. These were leftovers, but they were all good, and she couldn't bear to waste them. Therefore, she wanted to take the leftovers back to the family's housekeeper.

Having completed a major transaction, Su Nuannuan was in a very good mood.

After lunch, the three went their separate ways. Wang Meifang was in a hurry to go home and pack her luggage, while Zhao Yalan needed to prepare materials for tomorrow's class. Only Su Nuannuan was free.

However, after the three parted ways, Su Nuannuan did not rush back to her dormitory.

Instead, they went to the bookstore.

Su Nuannuan's three older brothers and best friend Yu Weiwei are preparing for next year's college entrance examination, and she decides to do something for them.

As the cultural and political center of China, Beijing placed great emphasis on education. Numerous bookstores along the streets sold textbooks and other learning materials.

Su Nuannuan knew that the materials she provided wouldn't be enough for her three older brothers and Yu Weiwei to learn. Learning materials in Heilongjiang Province were also extremely scarce, far inferior to those in major cities like Beijing. Therefore, Su Nuannuan wanted to purchase a batch of learning materials and send them to her family.

Stepping into a bookstore, Su Nuannuan's eyes immediately locked onto the "Self-Study Series of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry" on the shelf. Su Nuannuan had a particularly vivid memory of this set of books. In her previous life, after the resumption of the college entrance examination in 77, many students defied fate by using this set of books.

Although the analogy is somewhat exaggerated, this is how it was for the first cohort of students after the resumption of the college entrance examination.

Su Nuannuan was initially hesitant about which type of books to choose. However, upon seeing the "Self-Study Series on Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry," she knew exactly what to do.

The "Self-Study Series on Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" consists of 17 books, covering various subjects such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, with very detailed records of knowledge.

Su Nuannuan took a book from the shelf and found it was a solid geometry volume in the math section. She searched the shelf more carefully and only found three more books.

Su Nuannuan frowned. A set of "Self-Study Series on Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" has 17 books, but she only found 4. There was no way to send them.

Just then, the bookstore owner noticed that Su Nuannuan had been browsing the bookshelves for quite some time.

Seeing her with a pained expression, he walked over and asked.

"Comrade, I'm the owner of this bookstore. Is there anything I can help you with?"

The newcomer was a well-off middle-aged man. Su Nuannuan's eyes lit up when she heard him say he was the boss.

"Boss, do you have the complete set of 'Self-Study Series for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry' here?"

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's question, the shop owner knew her purpose. He smiled and replied, "Yes. You want one?"

"Ah."

Su Nuannuan nodded in reply.

The boss was overjoyed upon hearing this and pulled Su Nuannuan toward the warehouse where the books were stored.

Students preparing for the college entrance exam favored the "Self-Study Series of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry." As a result, the bookstore owner stocked a large quantity. Most customers would pool their money to buy the entire set, taking turns reading it. Then, business slowed down. The warehouse was piled high with unsold copies of the "Self-Study Series of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry." So, he only displayed a few books for reference.

In the past two years, he has sold several sets. However, these items are not consumables. What one person used, the next person can still use. Therefore, after a period of popularity, the "Self-Study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" was ignored. As a result, the boss became too lazy to maintain it and just put it on the shelf for the workers to look at.

The shop owner was delighted to learn that Su Nuannuan wanted the entire "Self-Study Series in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry." He had long since abandoned any thought of making money; his only concern was that every additional set of the "Self-Study Series in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry" he sold meant an extra penny of profit.

Inside the bookstore, there was a partitioned room that served as the storeroom for the books. The owner led Su Nuannuan in and picked up a bundle of books from a corner.

He placed the bundle of books in front of Su Nuannuan and pointed at it.

"This is a set of self-study books on mathematics, physics, and chemistry. If you want it, give me 15 yuan."

Su Nuannuan hadn't expected a set of "Self-Study Series in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry" to be so expensive. It wasn't that she thought the set wasn't worth the price; rather, compared to other things, books were still quite pricey.

However, no matter how expensive it is, Su Nuannuan can afford it.

She spoke to the boss without hesitation.

"Boss, I want four sets of the 'Self-Study Series for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry'."

The shop owner had initially thought that selling just one set would be enough to make a profit. However, Su Nuannuan ordered four sets in one go. A wide smile immediately spread across the shop owner's face, and his attitude towards Su Nuannuan became even more friendly than before.

However, Su Nuannuan didn't care.

She browsed around the bookstore and bought four copies of each of other subject review materials.

The shop owner's face crinkled with laughter as he watched Su Nuannuan buy many more books, and his gaze towards her was unusually gentle.

After Su Nuannuan bought all the books she found useful, the shopkeeper took out a counting board and started calculating the bill for her.

"Including the four sets of 'Self-Study Series on Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry' that you just bought, you need to pay a total of 91.4 yuan. Let me round it down to 91 yuan."

Su Nuannuan felt the price was within her acceptable range, so she paid without hesitation.

More than money, Su Nuannuan hopes that her three older brothers and Weiwei will achieve good results in next year's college entrance examination.

After paying, Su Nuannuan looked at the pile of books on the ground and felt a headache coming on.

Finally, she looked at the boss and said.

"Boss, could you find someone to help me move this book to the post office? I'll pay you fifty cents."
