Chapter 267: Chapter 267
Erya comes to find Gong Ruini every evening, admiring the books in her room, "So many books."
Are there many books? Gong Ruini doesn’t really think there are that many books, but the important thing is that some of them will appreciate in value, which makes Gong Ruini quite happy.
"If you like them, you can go to the recycling station to buy them, they’re really cheap." Gong Ruini notices the admiration in Erya’s eyes and suggests, after all, her relationship with them is quite good and they’ve almost acquired them all.
If Erya likes them, she can completely buy some home, otherwise, it’s a waste to have those books reused.
Oh, these books were bought from the recycling station? Erya is very surprised, "Are they expensive?"
"Not expensive, one jin of books is one cent, if Grandpa Zhang is there, it can be even cheaper." Gong Ruini truly feels that these books are cheap.
Even if some books may not appreciate in value, it’s okay, they can still be impressive, for instance, now they’re making Erya look dumbfounded, Gong Ruini feels that the money spent is worth it.
One cent per jin, that’s expensive, although Erya has made some money lately, she has given part of it to her parents and saved some for her studies, if she buys books again, there’s not enough money.
Erya doesn’t say so, but her eyes betray her thoughts, since she thinks it’s expensive, Gong Ruini can’t persuade her further, can she forcefully say it’s cheap?
It seems like the labor doesn’t earn much money, otherwise, their status in the village wouldn’t have increased a lot recently, especially Zhan Jing, who gets greeted warmly wherever she goes in the village.
"If you like, you can read here, and if you have paper and pens, you can copy them." Gong Ruini looks at the envious eyes of Erya and offers this suggestion.
If Erya wants to copy books, that’s fine, otherwise, Gong Ruini doesn’t know how to deal with Erya, although she can guide Erya a little, Erya isn’t stupid, and what’s learned at school isn’t challenging, it’s no burden for Erya.
Copy books? That’s right, she can copy books, Erya knows that Gong Ruini wouldn’t be willing for her to take them back home, "Okay."
"Actually, you can ask Uncle Zhao to help you buy some paper at the recycling station, it’s quite cheap." Gong Ruini really wants to say girl, copying books requires time and ink costs, it’s not that cheap.
But seeing Erya’s happy expression, Gong Ruini refrains from dissuading her, taking it as a practice for writing, which can deepen her memory.
Is there paper at the recycling station? Erya never knew it was possible.
No way, the poor child doesn’t know? Gong Ruini feels puzzled for a moment, since she raised it, she mentions it further.
Not just paper, but also exercise books, all blank, which delights Erya, "I’ll bring money tomorrow morning." Official source ıs novel fire.net
This really saves a lot of money for her family, knowing that to save paper, Erya often writes and draws on the ground to avoid wasting paper.
This girl is really straightforward, she hasn’t even seen the stuff yet and is ready to bring money, "No rush, no rush, we’ll talk after we buy them."
"I need to, I feel embarrassed troubling Uncle Zhao, I want to buy more." Erya isn’t foolish, once this spreads, many will ask Zhao Gang for help in bringing things.
By then, what she can get will be limited, not to mention she has to copy books.
Hmm, it seems like copying books isn’t worthwhile, although it seems like saving money, the paper used in books and the paper used for copying are different, Erya bites her lip thinking for a while, "Ni Zi, I’ll be back shortly."
Uh, is she rushing back to get money? Gong Ruini watches as Erya disappears from view, she is also dumbfounded.
Is this girl not trusting Zhao Gang? Oh well, if she wants to go back to get money, let her go, Gong Ruini can’t manage it now, she is busy finishing today’s homework.
Zhao Guangran watches as Erya leaves, also sighing in relief, "Ah, finally she’s gone, otherwise staying here, I wouldn’t know what to do."
Zhao Guangran really doesn’t understand why even Gong Ruini has a little sister, which makes him quite jealous, constantly glancing at Gong Ruini.
"Don’t envy, it’s character." Gong Ruini proudly expresses that capable people, even if silent, others are willing to follow them.
Character? Zhao Guangran doesn’t really believe it, "If you have good character, you should have received ginseng."
Tch, if he hadn’t mentioned it, they could still chat, but once mentioned, Gong Ruini finds no way to continue chatting, "No ginseng is no problem, saving money is alright."
Gong Ruini also figures out that since she doesn’t have the fortune, she shouldn’t dwell on it, overthinking only gives headaches, "By the way, we have tests in a couple of days, Brother Guangran, how’s your review going?"
If hurt, then they hurt each other, Gong Ruini completely gives up.
Hm, Zhao Guangran angrily glares at Gong Ruini, knowing she always strikes from this angle.
Gong Ruini laughs brightly, yes, she’s just hopeless, striking from this angle, "If you work a little harder, I won’t be able to discourage you."
"Although I’m still not running fast enough, I think passing won’t be a problem." Thanks to waking up early every day to exercise, planning every day to go up the mountain to gather herbs, Gong Ruini now feels no burden running.
Unfortunately, Zhao Guangran is too carefree, since they stopped having classes, Gong Ruini watched as the books Zhao Guangran had just piled up collecting dust, at the time Gong Ruini quietly anticipated Zhao Xuran would make a move.
Look, someone has fallen for it again, Gong Ruini feels quite pleased, hmm, tomorrow Zhao Gang is going to the county to sell herbs, might she also go along, checking for good things on the way.
Even though she’s in a small county, there’s not much good stuff to buy, but occasionally going treasure hunting always yields some unexpected finds, if there are treasures, she can’t let them slip away.
Gong Ruini really wants to embark on a treasure hunting journey, hmm, it’s decided, anyway, there’s nothing to do at home, if she doesn’t go now and waits until the autumn wind rises, Gong Ruini predicts she’ll have even less chance to go out.
As for poor Zhao Guangran, let him stay home and review his lessons well, and then surprise him once.
It’s not that Gong Ruini is petty, it’s just that every time he uses ginseng to mock Gong Ruini, he gets her really angered, she has to fight back.
Since tomorrow brings the ultimate move from Brother, Gong Ruini decides to let Zhao Guangran off now, otherwise, it’s not good if she angers him too much.
The quiet Gong Ruini puzzles Zhao Guangran, although normally she would often mock him, never quickly ending so quickly, there must be a follow-up move.
Zhao Guangran feels various anxieties, but before he figures it out, Zhao Xuran asks ominously beside him, "Have you reviewed well?"
"If you think you’re ready, we can test tomorrow." Zhao Xuran insists on teaching Zhao Guangran a lesson this time, otherwise he might truly think he can skip reviewing if there’s no class.
Hard-won habits of diligent review are interrupted this way, Zhao Xuran finds this frustrating.
"No, no," he can’t have the big brother postpone the exam, that would be good enough, how can he have it early, that would be completely hopeless.
