If we only talk about wages, considering Feng Qingxue and her family’s extravagant spending habits, it’s really not enough for them to get into collecting, which is indeed an expensive hobby. But they have gold in their hands, and a large amount of Lu Family’s assets belong to their branch. Moreover, with the help of the tal detector, Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang have also acquired quite a bit of gold and silver.
Gold in troubled tis, antiques in prosperous tis.
Although future gold prices will be incomparable to now, rising to several hundred yuan per gram in decades, it still won’t match the imnse profits of antiques. When they run out of money to buy antiques, they directly sell gold, since gold doesn’t have much cultural value if kept.
However, there aren’t many valuable antiques in the waste recycling station.
Feng Qingxue carefully searched for half a day and only found a dozen or so antiques, but she did co across quite a few high school textbooks. She sandwiched so paintings and calligraphies among them and settled the bill with the staff at the recycling station.
Hearing the staff mber ask why she was buying these textbooks, Feng Qingxue smiled slightly and said, "I think the country will one day restore the college entrance exam, so young people in our hotown are all beginning to review. I ca to Shanghai to buy review materials, and I found them in the recycling station, so I’m sending so back ho."
The staff mber was pleasantly surprised, "College entrance exam? Will the college entrance exam really be restored?"
"I think there’s a good possibility, so it’s better to prepare early."
"That would be wonderful. To tell you the truth, comrade, I’ve been thinking about this for a long ti. Those troublemakers have all been rectified, and so cadres and intellectuals are starting to resu work. Students should continue their studies too, right? My kids at ho love to study, but there’s no college recruitnt, and we as parents aren’t capable. After they graduated high school, they had to follow national policy and go to the countryside, being assigned to poor and remote places. Although there were so settlent fees, they later suffered a lot. We, as parents, feel very sorry for them, but they can’t return to the city. Even when their assignnt places occasionally have a few quotas to return, they can’t get them. If the college entrance exam is truly restored, I must quickly send them review materials, so they can prepare well. Even if they get into a junior college, they won’t have to suffer in the countryside, as the state will assign them jobs later."
Feng Qingxue listened and smiled again, also moved by the staff’s love for their children, "If your children truly love learning, then plan early, anyway, our children are all reviewing."
The staff mber nodded emphatically, "I’ll go buy them materials right after work!"
They rely chatted casually, never expecting that Feng Qingxue’s reminder would lead to three university students and two junior college students in the staff mber’s family, none of whom failed the college entrance exam.
But that’s a story for later, let’s not discuss it for now.
Feng Qingxue first placed the review materials she brought from the waste recycling station at the guesthouse, then turned and went to Xinhua Bookstore. The "Self-Study Series on Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry" was only available at Xinhua Bookstore, and in the future, it would even beco scarce.
Soon, the bookstore was still dominated by red books taking up eighty percent of the space, with other books and review materials being scarce.
"No college entrance exam review materials? No ’Self-Study Series on Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry’?" Upon hearing the staff’s words, Feng Qingxue looked surprised. Wasn’t it said that they were sold here? Moreover, according to her mory, after the news of the college entrance exam’s restoration, there would be long queues at the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore, all wanting to buy these materials, which ans the bookstore had them for sale.
