It's very different from last year.

This year's college entrance examination adopts a national unified examination paper.

The preparations in various regions have also become more complete.

It will not be like last year, where the exam is over but the standard answers are still not out. Not only will it be difficult for the candidates to estimate their scores, but even the teachers who are involved in marking the papers will find it difficult to carry out their work.

The guiding document that does not focus solely on class composition has been issued to all cities and counties.

This time, Su Mengyao did not encounter any difficulties and the registration went smoothly.

Seeing her name being filled in the list of candidates, Su Mengyao was very excited and grabbed Lu Ye beside her.

"I've signed up!"

"I finally signed up!"

"There are exactly two months left. You should work hard and keep up the good work." Lu Ye said softly.

"Yeah." Su Mengyao nodded heavily.

"I will definitely work hard."

After leaving the Education Commission, Lu Ye took Su Mengyao to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Studying is inseparable from paper, pen and books, so Lu Ye bought some stationery for Su Mengyao.

A pencil costs 1 cent, an eraser costs 2 cents, and a large notebook costs 4 cents.

Very affordable.

Su Mengyao was lying in front of a counter, looking at a fountain pen with a golden cap displayed inside.

The pen cap is printed with beautiful patterns, and the entire pen body is slender and high-end.

"How much is this pen?" Su Mengyao pressed her finger on the glass and asked the salesperson behind the counter.

The salesperson took a quick look and casually replied, "Ten dollars."

Upon hearing this, Su Mengyao pursed her lips and immediately withdrew her gaze.

That pen looks good, but it’s too expensive!

Lu Ye watched it carefully from the side and whispered to the salesperson, "Could you please show it to us?"

"No, it's too expensive." Su Mengyao shook her head.

"Just take a look. I don't force you to buy it." The salesperson smiled and opened the window and took out the beautiful pen.

Seeing that the pen was taken out, Su Mengyao no longer refused and picked up the pen to take a look.

"This is a Hero brand. It's a bit expensive, but the quality is very good. The nib is made of stainless steel and will not break no matter how long you use it." The salesperson looked at the pen and said in a crisp voice.

Slim pen body, comfortable weight.

Holding the pen in her hand, Su Mengyao tried it.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"no need."

Su Mengyao put the cap back on the pen and returned it to the salesperson.

"thank you."

"fine."

The salesperson put the pen back and turned to serve someone else.

Su Mengyao packed the newly bought stationery one by one.

Lu Ye glanced at the pen on the counter, smiled, and said nothing more.

"Let's go home."

Although it was a rare opportunity to visit the county town, Su Mengyao had no intention of staying any longer. After buying her stationery, she started preparing to go home.

"Let's go."

Lu Ye and Su Mengyao left the supply and marketing cooperative together.

But Lu Ye didn't see that at this moment, in another corner of the supply and marketing cooperative, a pair of watery eyes were watching them leave.

"girl."

"girl?"

"The sesame seeds you ordered have been weighed. Just open the bag." The salesperson holding the scale shouted several times.

"Oh."

Li Mingzhu came to her senses and hurriedly opened the cloth bag containing grain and watched the other party pour sesame seeds into it.

But what he was thinking about was Lu Ye and the person next to him.

That woman,

She was tall, with a pretty face, and exuded a refreshing and otherworldly aura. Even though she didn't see her full appearance, she could tell that she was an absolute beauty.

No wonder.

No wonder Brother Lu didn't even look at me.

How could he be interested in me when he has such a beautiful woman by his side?

"Girl, give me the money. Two dollars for five kilograms of food coupons." Seeing that Li Mingzhu was in a daze again, the salesperson urged her again.

After paying the money, Li Mingzhu carried the bag of grain and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative quickly.

Lu Ye and Su Mengyao were no longer outside.

-----------------

A week has passed since Ma San was arrested.

Those who used to sell dried tofu to Ma San lost their source of income and came to Zhao Xiaolong one after another.

At first, Zhao Xiaolong didn't want to bring these people with him. After all, the amount of goods he could get was limited and not enough for so many people to share.

But no matter how many times these people came to him, they all looked pitiful and had no food to eat.

Zhao Xiaolong has experienced hunger and knows what it feels like.

I have been hesitant in my heart whether to accept them or not.

When paying Lu Ye for the delivery again, Zhao Xiaolong took the opportunity to speak out.

"Brother Ye, Ma San is in jail. All those people who used to sell goods for him have lost their livelihoods. They come to me every day to beg for food. After all, I know them all, and they are all quite pitiful..."

In his previous life, Lu Ye sold dried tofu to Ma San, and he had some impression of the people Zhao Xiaolong mentioned.

In fact, to put it bluntly.

They are all miserable people.

Some of them were educated youth who were disbanded from remote areas. They secretly ran back because they could not bear the hardships there.

Since their household registration is still in the place where they were sent to work in the countryside, they will be illegal residents when they come back. It is impossible for them to find a formal job, not even a temporary job. If they want to survive, they can only do some odd jobs.

Some people are similar to Zhao Xiaolong. They are either orphans or born but not raised by their parents. They are lucky enough to be able to survive.

There are also a few who take the risk of doing this to supplement the family income because there are too many people in their family and the ration is not enough.

Now that they have lost Ma San’s supply of goods, they have lost their source of income for a while, so it is normal for them to be anxious.

"You feel sorry for them, so you want to take them in?"

"I know that if so many people come here, no one will make any money, but I can't bear to see them starving..."

"You can accept them if you want, but there are a few things I need to make clear to you."

"You say." Zhao Xiaolong looked at Lu Ye eagerly.

Although Zhao Xiaolong had been engaged in speculation and profiteering for quite some time, all he did was go from street to street, secretly selling things, paying with one hand and receiving the goods with the other.

It is completely different from real business.

"Let me ask you, Hua County is so big, with so many speculators and profiteers. Why don't they join others, but instead turn to you? Why?"

There are more people engaging in speculation and profiteering.

There are people who do worse things than Ma San.

"this..."

Zhao Xiaolong was speechless after being asked by Lu Ye.

"They want to follow you simply because I give you a lot of pumping."

"I have no objection to you accepting them, but you must understand one thing clearly: business is always just business."

"Don't bring personal emotions into it."

Zhao Xiaolong has a tough character and many strengths.

However, the problem of being soft-hearted is also very prominent.

"Okay, I remember it." Zhao Xiaolong nodded.

It may not be useful even if you teach someone a thousand times, but it may only be useful if you teach someone once.

Although Zhao Xiaolong said that he remembered it, Lu Ye knew that he needed to suffer a little loss before he could truly learn his lesson.

But it's just a minor incident now, so there's no need to rush.

"Starting tomorrow, I will double your supply."
