A set of "Self-Study Series on Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry" costs less than twenty yuan, and other study materials are one or two yuan per book, so even costing just a few cents. They’re not particularly expensive, not a heavy burden, and most people can afford them.
The wealth of the Wanglou Brigade is thus evident.
Of course, there are students who want the materials but can’t afford to pay.
Feng Qingxue considered this and promised that they could borrow materials from the Lu Family to copy for their own use, and people outside the brigade were also allowed to borrow and copy. Naturally, this won the gratitude of those students.
Before Feng Qingxue even finished packing her luggage, all dozens of sets of college entrance exam materials were sold out, and the funds quickly returned.
Moreover, students who were perceptive and considerate gave quite a few things to the Lu Family afterwards, such as vegetables, dried veggies, pickled veggies, candies, and eggs. They offered to pay for the postage, which Feng Qingxue declined, so they expressed their thanks by these ans.
So students who arrived late and didn’t get the materials were quite regretful, and they felt that copying was a big task that would really tire their wrists. The most important thing was that copying was prone to errors and didn’t look as neat and clean as printing. Besides, they weren’t short on money, so they pleaded with Feng Qingxue to buy a set for them and send it over when she went to Shanghai.
Lu Erxiong, being a chatterbox, had already revealed to his friends that they were going to Shanghai to have fun.
A total of eighty-seven students entrusted Feng Qingxue, not only paying the material fee promptly but also covering the postage. So educated youths even ordered two or three sets, saying they wanted to send them to their siblings or friends at ho.
Smart people understand the importance of acting first.
Surrounded by a crowd of people, Feng Qingxue was a bit helpless, but she also realized their yearning for knowledge and the future.
"Write down your nas and addresses. I’ll handle it when I get to Shanghai. If our family cannot buy all the materials before going to the Capital, I’ll ask a friend to continue buying and sending them to you. If there’s a delay, don’t be mad," She had already chosen the person: there was no second option other than Li Jiaoyang.
Everyone was very understanding and quickly thanked her.
"Thank you, Comrade Qingxue, for your help. We can wait."
"Yes, yes, we can wait."
"These materials are really comprehensive and important. Thank you, Comrade Qingxue."
"Thank you, Second Madam Lu! My mom’s salted duck eggs are rich and oily, and I brought you a basket!"
Although Feng Qingxue felt herself very young, her seniority was there. Lu Jiang was ranked second in the Lu Family, so naturally, she was the Second Grandmother. Honestly, she didn’t have much impression of this great-grandson who called her Grandmother.
After sending them off, Feng Qingxue kept their money and nas and addresses, and told her children to quickly pack their luggage.
"No need to bring bedding, just take your clothes and books, stationery. Too much luggage, too bulky, will require paying for checked baggage on the plane. It’s not worth it. Aside from one or two sets of spare clothes, pack the rest into large parcels and send them to the Capital through the post office tomorrow. No need to bring a lot of food, just enough for the trip to Shanghai."
The Lu Family’s kids were experienced with traveling and cheered as they got busy.
Everyone handled their own tasks, even the naughtiest Lu Erxiong, didn’t an to let mommy do everything for him. However, he wanted to bring back too many things, like his slingshot, iron ring, top, carved wooden horse and so on, all his beloved treasures. He wanted to bring them all back, packing two large luggage bags, especially heavy.
Feng Qingxue checked briefly and helped him reduce by half, smiling before Lu Erxiong got angry, "I’ll make you new ones in the Capital and have your dad make them. His craftsmanship is excellent too."
Only then did Lu Erxiong pout and compromise.
