Chapter 1974 - 1974: Number One in the Province 4
The Hu family also had a child taking the college entrance exam, and at that time, they couldn't buy any review materials. They sent a telegram to Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue. Feng Qingxue immediately mailed them a set, and later she bought and mailed another set compiled by Xibao.
So, the gifts from the Hu family were both a gesture of friendship and a token of appreciation.
Feng Qingxue, after reading the letter that came with the Hu family's package, immediately took money out from storage, prepared to send it to him.
Deposit limits can easily cause trouble, so she didn't deposit the exchange from fifty thousand Hong Kong Dollars into the bank.
In her high position, every action is easily noticed by others. They started with a reciprocal relationship, and not without compensation, having assessed the value of mountain goods, estimating the old ginseng at four hundred bucks.
Besides this, Feng Qingxue also prepared some Capital specialties, scarce resources, a bundle of fabric, and a radio ticket for the Hu family, thinking that if their child gets into college or vocational school, they will definitely need Grain Tickets, so she sent some military Grain Tickets.
The scarce resources were bought at the Friendship Store and Overseas Chinese Store, since she had many Overseas Remittance Coupons. As for the radio ticket, relatives of cadres in the family area wanted to buy things from the Friendship Store and Overseas Chinese Store, so they asked those cadres to find Feng Qingxue to exchange radio tickets and Grain Tickets, Meat Tickets, etc., for some Overseas Remittance Coupons.
Knowing she had Overseas Remittance Coupons, they were endless for her family, but many in the compound sought her out to get them for their families and relatives, all to buy scarce resources not found in the ordinary department stores.
The things were prepared, but Feng Qingxue was worried about her son's college entrance exam, so she hadn't sent them yet.
Now hearing that her son finished the exam smoothly, Feng Qingxue finally relaxed her anxious heart, "I'll send them tomorrow, and I'll also express my gratitude to them in the letter."
"Inviting you for a meal, you wouldn't come, then asking for a night's stay, but now after the exam, you choose to come during the day? I wasn't prepared." After Xibao hung up the phone, Zhao Anbang patted his shoulder, without asking about the exam results or why Lu Tianzhi and others didn't come along, because he knew they were not in the same exam room, and those three were adults anyway.
Cheng Baoguo laughed and said, "We're here for the peace and quiet."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Anbang was surprised.
Xibao felt a bit embarrassed, but Lu's father spoke up, "Xibao said that quite a few of the exam questions he predicted came up. Although not half, it's between one-quarter to one-third. You're aware of the importance of the college entrance exam for students. Which student in our brigade didn't use his materials? Xibao was worried that students would keep visiting him after returning home, so he came here to skip the commotion."
Zhao Anbang didn't doubt, as he was very familiar with the passion of the Wanglou Brigade's folks.
The college entrance exam concerns one's life fate, and Xibao increased their chances of passing, so how couldn't they be extremely grateful? Most people's way of expressing gratitude is to give gifts as best they can.
Lu Jiang holds a high position, and Xibao, as their eldest son, cannot accept gifts, even if it's out of gratitude.
"Impressive, Little Xibao, you really are capable!" Without talent and luck, how could he have predicted so many college exam question types? Zhao Anbang felt proud and then, with an 'Ayo,' he patted his thigh, "I must inform the printing factory to hurry and print more, because after the college entrance exam was near, they hadn't continued, and the ones already printed won't be enough to sell!"
