Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

As soon as this question came out, the group of educated youth led by Ding Zhijian thought that Ouyang Yan was afraid that they could not come up with the money.

I deliberately made things difficult for myself, but it concerns my future. Can I escape from here? Even if I don't eat, I can save the food and sell it for money.

They also had to borrow the books. Upon hearing this, the two sisters Song Jiahui took out the money from their pockets and handed it to Ouyang Yan.

"Ouyang Zhiqing, please rest assured that we will not lend the books for free. Just like Ding Zhiqing said, we can pay the rent.

Please lend us a book to copy first, or you can pay a deposit to guarantee that you will not damage the book.

Ouyang Zhiqing, I know you don't think highly of this little money, but this is the greatest sincerity we can offer at the moment."

It can be said that at this time, no one dared to speak carelessly. After all, the most powerful one had not yet come out, and they were afraid of saying the wrong thing.

This made Ouyang Yan unwilling to lend them the book, but it was obvious that they were worrying too much.

Ouyang Yan knew that what she said just now might have caused them to misunderstand her, so she was not in a hurry. Instead, she turned to the people outside the courtyard and said slowly,

"Why don't you stop and listen to me first before answering?" As soon as the words fell, the surroundings of the courtyard became quiet in an instant.

"Actually, you all got it wrong. The reason I asked about the money was to tell you that we do have books.

If you really want it, my house won't rent it out but will sell it. "Everyone outside the courtyard was delighted when they heard this.

"Ouyang Zhiqing, if you really want it, we will buy it directly."

"Yes! Ouyang Zhiqing, we really need that set of books. If you have any extra, we are willing to buy them.

Thank you so much.”

"Ouyang Zhiqing, before we came here, we were just judging others by our own standards, but don't worry,

We will definitely raise the required amount of money.”

………………

Everyone was talking at once, each one of them was talking to themselves, but the atmosphere now was obviously much better than before.

I still have to say what needs to be said. Whether it is what I keep or what I have sold before, it is all the result of my hard work.

"Since you are so open, I will also speak frankly. We do have books, but we are also family members.

I sent this to you through connections. You will know today that even if you have money, you can't buy books now.

As educated youth from the same brigade, we couldn't just sit there and watch. We had a complete set of books, but not many in number.

So I suggest that you pool your money together to buy it, borrow it from each other and also copy it.”

Having been in the same team for such a long time, it was the first time for many of them to see Ouyang Yan talk so much.

It is precisely because of this that the expression on his face reveals a curious and unfamiliar look.

"We know Ouyang Zhiqing. It's not easy to get this opportunity. We will all cherish it."

"Ouyang Zhiqing, Xiang Zhiqing, thank you for not holding grudges and being willing to accept us. We will definitely allocate our time wisely."

"Ouyang Zhiqing, I know that everyone usually dislikes me and often says behind my back that I like to smooth things over, but this time I can tell everyone to take care of themselves.

During this period before the college entrance examination, every educated youth must be properly disciplined. If anyone causes trouble and disturbs everyone's study and rest,

We will definitely not tolerate it, and if something happens, I will give everyone a satisfactory explanation."

The educated youth who came with them also echoed the words and said that they would definitely cherish this hard-won opportunity.

"Okay, just remember what you promised. In addition to the set you keep for your own use, we still have three sets of books.

You educated youth can choose to share one or two sets of housing. We have agreed to sell the remaining set to the villagers.

Everyone knows that the price of a whole set of books is always 5.9 yuan, and we don't ask for more than 8 yuan per set, so you can take it directly.

I hope you don't misunderstand me. The reason why I charge eight dollars is because these books are hard to find and it took some effort to get them.

That’s all I have to say. You guys just discuss it first and see how to distribute it. Then tell us the result later.”

Just as they were gathered together to discuss, several figures appeared behind the crowd.

Ouyang Yan and the others looked carefully and saw that the people standing at the back and whispering were the students in the village who were about to take the college entrance examination.

There were eight or nine people, both men and women. Compared with the educated youth, they made decisions very quickly, in less than three or two minutes.

They sent representatives to the front of the crowd. The first one was a pale, slightly thin man.

The gentleman with black-framed glasses could be easily identified from his figure and skin color.

They should seldom work in the fields, otherwise they wouldn't look like this, the man pointed at the few people at the back and said,

"Hello, Ouyang Zhiqing and Xiang Zhiqing, we are all high school students in the village. What you just said means,

You plan to keep a set of books and sell them to us villagers, right?"

Ouyang Yan nodded, and while looking at the person in front of her, she also glanced at the few people standing at the back.

"Indeed, you heard it right. If you have agreed, you can pay the money and take the book away. But I have something to say.

We sell this set of information to all the students in the village who are taking the college entrance examination. If we find out who is planning to buy it,

If we don’t want to give it to others, then we would rather not have the money and find a way to destroy the data, understand?”

The gentleman nodded repeatedly, "Ouyang Zhiqing, please rest assured, my name is Fan Xiangzuo, the village chief and the team leader are brothers,

They are my cousins. Even if we had this idea, they would not allow it, not to mention the people in our village.

We will not allow this to happen. Can you please wait for a moment? We will go back to raise money now."

"Okay then, you guys try to go and come back as soon as possible. After we finish our meal, we will start studying."

Hearing this, Fan Xiangzuo's eyes turned red. He had been able to read for many years, and there had been no news about the college entrance examination in these years.

All his precious books were sold by his family. They went to the commune early yesterday morning, but they were so happy all night.

I didn't buy anything, and I couldn't review without materials. I hadn't touched a book for many years, so I was inevitably powerless.

Even if the college entrance examination was resumed, their hopes were too slim. They had originally planned to try their luck at the commune today.

It just so happened that I heard the aunt in the village say that Ouyang Zhiqing and his friends often read books at home and would definitely be able to get into university.

How could they not be happy to hear the news? They had come here with the hope of giving it a try.
