Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth
Chapter 94 Buying High School Textbooks
After all, it is the Xinhua Bookstore in the province. Even though resources are scarce now, there are mountains of bundles of books in the warehouse.
"Hello, what book are you looking for?" the staff asked Gu Zhan.
"High school textbook!"
The staff was stunned for a moment. These days, no one would buy high school textbooks specifically for study. Those textbooks were left idle in deserted corners, gathering dust without anyone paying attention to them.
The staff didn't think much about it and directly took Gu Zhan over the mountain of books and into the innermost part of the warehouse.
There were piles of books scattered on the floor at the innermost part of the warehouse, and most of them were covered with a thin layer of dust.
"It's probably in this area." said the staff.
"Ok."
Gu Zhan started from the place under his feet, squatted down and began to search through the piles one by one.
Seeing this, the staff also joined in helping.
He knew Sun Yuan, who often brought people here to look for some strange books, sometimes from abroad, sometimes from China. Today he was actually looking for high school textbooks.
After searching for a long time, they still couldn't find it. The dust that was stirred up had left a light layer of dust on their clothes.
Finally, Gu Zhan saw a few scattered textbooks among the piles of books against the wall.
"Found it, it's here." Gu Zhan said.
The staff member patted the dust off his clothes and said, "Finally found it."
According to his memories from his previous life, Gu Zhan found all the textbooks he could use. He took one textbook for each grade in high school to make a set, and did not take any extra books.
When the news of the full liberalization of the college entrance examination is released, these books will become precious review materials for thousands of students.
In this era, productivity was already backward, and preparation time was not sufficient, so these textbooks that were already gathering dust in the corner became extremely scarce educational resources. Sometimes it took several people to put together a set of materials, and they had to copy them onto paper from each other in order to study.
This was how he had lived in his previous life, so now he didn't want to use his advantage as a prophet to seize all these resources.
Seeing Gu Zhan taking all the high school textbooks, the staff member asked curiously, "Comrade, why did you buy so many textbooks?"
Gu Zhan smiled slightly: "My wife didn't go to high school and wants to learn some cultural knowledge."
"So that's how it is. Then your wife is really amazing."
Gu Zhan smiled and said nothing.
Gu Zhan took the book and followed the staff to the front store to check out.
When I was paying, the staff member said, "These books are just sitting there, there's no use for them. How about I give you the price of used books?"
"Thank you very much."
The staff calculated the bill, and when Gu Zhan paid, they neatly packed all the books into bundles with brown paper.
A few minutes later, Qian Min and Sun Yuan arrived at the front store together.
Qian Min asked the staff, "Xiao Zhang, have you found it?"
"Found it, Director."
"That's good."
Sun Yuan was a quick man. After finishing his work, he said goodbye to Qian Min and left with Gu Zhan.
On the way back, passing by the station, Gu Zhan bought a return ticket to Jing City.
The next morning, Gu Zhan took a bus back to Jing City and stayed there for one night. It was already the afternoon of the next day when he got home.
When he walked into the door of the house, Liu Xiaoxi was standing next to the newly cultivated vegetable garden and chatting with Huang Guihua who was planting vegetables.
Her belly looked a little bigger than before he left, and her whole body exuded a soft glow.
Gu Zhan looked at the scene in front of him with fascination. This was the beauty that he had dreamed of thousands of times in his previous life but had never been able to realize, and now it was right within his reach.
Huang Guihua looked up and saw her son-in-law standing at the door. She quickly stood up and said, "Son-in-law is back?"
Gu Zhan's expression returned to normal and he greeted Huang Guihua with a smile.
"Hurry up and go inside, change your clothes and wash your face. I'm going to the kitchen to cook."
Huang Guihua knew that the young couple hadn't seen each other for many days and must have a lot to talk about, so she left under the pretext of cooking.
Gu Zhan looked at the smiling woman in front of him, walked up to her and held her tightly in his arms: "Wife, I miss you so much."
Liu Xiaoxi had never heard Gu Zhan speak so bluntly before. Her face instantly turned hot, and even her ears started to feel hot.
It was a long time before Gu Zhan let the man go.
Liu Xiaoxi finally had time to take in the man before her. His features were calm and gentle, his deep eyes reflecting her own reflection. While his face looked slightly tired, his overall spirits seemed good.
"Why did you come back just now?" Liu Xiaoxi took Gu Zhan's hands, shook them slightly and asked.
Gu Zhanhui shook the delicate little hands and said with a smile, "Some of the information at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was in a hurry, and there was no time to translate it, so I translated it there first, and I'll take the rest back home to translate it."
"Thank you for your hard work, Gu Zhan."
Gu Zhan smiled, his fingertips gently tracing the calluses on Liu Xiaoxi's hands that were gradually dissipating: "Thinking of you and our daughter waiting for me at home, I don't feel tired anymore."
Huang Guihua cooks very quickly. Just as Gu Zhan finished washing his face, a bowl of noodle soup was already out of the pot.
"Son-in-law, come and have dinner."
Huang Guihua brought the meal to the table in the main room.
In order to get on his way as soon as possible, Gu Zhan only had breakfast this morning. Now it was already afternoon and he was starving.
After eating a bowl of noodle soup, I finally felt some strength.
Huang Guihua was afraid that her daughter would be tired, so she washed the dishes as well. She helped clean up the house before telling the couple that she was going home.
Huang Guihua was both angry and amused by Liu Xiaoxi's reluctant look. Gu Zhan opened the things he had bought in the county on his way back and gave some to Huang Guihua. There was a small bag of brown sugar, a bag of egg cakes, and a bag of biscuits.
"Mom, I'm not home these days. Please take care of Xiaoxi. These are for your filial piety. Please keep them."
Huang Guihua refused to accept it, but finally took it back after Liu Xiaoxi and Gu Zhan insisted.
Finally home, Gu Zhan slept soundly that night.
The two got up early the next morning.
After breakfast, Gu Zhan opened another bag he brought back yesterday. In addition to several file bags containing documents that needed to be translated recently, there were also teaching materials bought from the Xinhua Bookstore.
Gu Zhan took out the pile of textbooks and placed them on the eight-immortals table.
"what is this?"
Liu Xiaoxi came closer curiously and stared at Gu Zhan untying the rope that bound the books.
Gu Zhan smiled mysteriously: "You'll know in a moment."
Liu Xiaoxi became even more curious. This thing looked square and should be a book or something like that. But he didn't know why this person was doing it so mysteriously?
