After the exam this week, there will be a winter vacation, and the Spring Festival will come soon after the winter vacation. As long as you are a student, how can you not be afraid of exams?

But Jiang Xinyu found that although the students in their class were nervous about the exam, they were not so nervous.

In the years when there was no college entrance examination, high school graduates with a family career could find a way to become a worker after graduation, but most of the rural people would return to the team to do farm work to earn labor, and some went to the army.

But if you're going to say that it's useless to go to high school, that's certainly not the case. After all, in addition to looking at household registration, factory recruitment also depends on academic qualifications. And up to the leader of the commune, down to the leader of the brigade, even if it is the female director of the team, it is all educated, at least a junior high school graduate.

There is no college entrance examination anymore, the university is still a recommendation system, and the final grades don't seem to be so important.

It's the end of the semester, the classes are over, and the teachers don't have that much to teach in the class.

The ideological and moral class is full of the characteristics of the times, and Jiang Xinyu has a deeper understanding of this era after reading these quotations.

There are no bunk beds in the dormitory, but half-old iron frame beds, which were newly replaced last year.

On the day of the holiday after the exam, Zhang Yanyan said: "We will graduate in the summer, what are you going to do?" There are textile mills and lumber mills in the county, and there may be recruitment, although there are quite a few people who will sign up, but I still want to give it a try, do you want to join us? ”

Jiang Xinyu thought the farthest was next year's college entrance examination, she was going to leave this place, but she didn't think about what she would do in the more than a year between graduating from high school and resuming the college entrance examination.

"Then you can call me with me." I know that there is little hope of being able to recruit a job, but I have to try it anyway, right?

After separating from Zhang Yanyan, Jiang Xinyu carried the rations and schoolbags she had saved to the only Xinhua bookstore in town.

She wanted to see if she could find some books that would help her with the college entrance examination.

Xinhua Bookstore is state-run, and all those that can circulate coins and bills are state-run.

When she entered the bookstore and saw Liao Liao's books on the glass counter that was out of reach, Jiang Xinyu was really a little disappointed. Compared with the rich books in the library of the bookstore in later generations, there are not as many books here as one-tenth of the books in Chen Yi's study.

"What do you want to buy? I'll get it for you, but I'm not sure if I want to buy it, so you must cherish it when you look through it. ”

The one who spoke was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties sitting in front of the counter, Zhou Zheng, with long facial features, and a thick book in front of him, and Jiang Xinyu didn't know what he was reading.

Jiang Xinyu didn't find the book she wanted on the shelf, and more importantly, she had a total of two cents in her pocket, which Comrade Chen Xiuyun sent her to school, and she was not willing to spend it.

It doesn't matter how much money she has in her pocket, she still has a tight face, and she doesn't buy it anyway.

"Comrade, where can I buy high school exercises?"

The young man thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, you can go to the scrapyard and have a look." He estimated that there might not be a scrapyard with exercise books or something, but it was useless to keep these things, and maybe someone would take them and sell them.

After Jiang Xinyu thanked her, she asked for directions before finding the scrap station.

Guarding the scrap yard was an old man, raised his eyelids to look at her, and asked her what she was looking for, after Jiang Xinyu, the old man let her in without saying anything.

The scrapyard smelled bad, messy and dirty, mostly made of scrap copper and iron, as well as wooden chairs that were unstable in the old station, and some broken jars.

Jiang Xinyu pulled around inside, only to find a sticky math study book, she picked it up with disgust, and before she could stand firmly, she was pushed up to her waist by the leg of the chair stretched out diagonally, and fell into the pile of rubble.

The sound of hula la attracted the old man who was guarding the door, and when she fell a big horse, she was struggling to get up, but the old man didn't say anything, and he didn't want to help her, so he looked at it and went out again.

When Jiang Xinyu got up, she was flashed by something, and when she looked at it again, there was a slit in the leg of the stool, which was shining with gold, revealing a yellow light through the slit.

Thinking of something, Jiang Xinyu's heart thumped.

Seeing that the uncle had gone out, Jiang Xinyu casually picked up a sharp iron head and pinned the wooden leg with the gaps exposed, and a gold bar longer than her palm appeared in front of her.

After seeing how poor this era was, Jiang Xinyu knew how much this gold bar was worth.

The stool was missing two legs, and the board in the middle was still couched, so there was no need to repair it at all.

Jiang Xinyu pulled the stool on the other leg away again, and also got another gold bar.

God, who came up with the idea of hiding the gold bar in the leg of the chair, and it was really cheap for her!

Jiang Xinyu stuffed the two gold bars into her arms, and carefully checked the other parts of the broken wooden chair to make sure that there was no more cheap to take advantage of.

The sudden discovery made Jiang Xinyu look at the scrap station differently, but it was a pity that after these two gold bars, nothing else was found.

The old man came to urge her once, Jiang Xinyu pretended to be pulling in the waste paper pile, and got up slowly.

As she got out of the gap, she stepped on something black and black on her foot, and then she found a horn. The shape of the horn is similar to that of the knight, and the size is similar.

She bent down to pick it up and picked at the black stain on it, revealing a patina on the inside. Three legs, with a cup handle on the side, this style, if she didn't look away, this is a bronze drinking vessel from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. There was a pair in her grandfather's collection, which he treasured.

Jiang Xinyu looked around, there was no second one here.

She had an old exercise book and such a broken cup in her hand, and the old man at the scrap station looked at it and said casually, "Wumao." ”

This is Jiang Xinyu. The things in the scrapyard are all useless things sold by others, and a few cents can collect a lot of them.

Jiang Xinyu didn't know the market, and she was going to put everything down.

She thought very simply, she didn't have enough money, so she might as well wait until next time she had enough money to buy it. If she only put down the exercise book, would this old man feel that the corners in her hands are boring? Jiang Xinyu was in a state of anxiety at the moment that this treasure could not be discovered by others.

"I don't have enough money, come back next time."

The old man didn't get anyone, so he smashed his mouth twice and asked, "How many do you have?" ”

Jiang Xinyu said: "Two cents." ”

She wanted to say a dime, but she was afraid that the old man would not give a dime.

Even if she can't buy the two things in her hand today, she still gets two gold bars for nothing, okay?

I saw the old man wave his hand, "Okay, okay, take the two cents." ”

Jiang Xinyu was so excited in her heart.

What she has in her hand is bronze, how can anyone fake it these days, only people who don't know the goods! In the future, whether it is a collection or a resale, it is all good.

Jiang Xinyu put the wine vessel in her schoolbag, carried her luggage, and went to the place where the brigade came to the commune to park the tractor.
