Dressed up as a Real Mom

Chapter 55: Biting Her

The bookstore near the market, in the past, has been a lottery. Since the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, every time He Xiaoyun went out to buy groceries, she could see a long line of people at the door of the bookstore. It's said that many people began to line up in the middle of the night but many people still can't buy a book yet.

He Xiaoyun's textbooks and review materials were found in various bookstores and waste recycling stations one after another in the past two years. Although some of them are relatively old, they are at least complete, which saves her the pain of buying books with the others.

That evening, Huang Lizhen came to look for her.

Knowing that she was nervously preparing for the exam, Xu Lanxiang and the others didn't dare to bother her easily. Huang Lizhen came here now, asking for something.

Among the three people Xiaoyun gets along well with, Xu Lanxiang and Huang Lizhen are locals. They married their lover in the army. Li Xijin, like He Xiaoyun, came from a hometown with Lao Zhao, and both of them are southerners.

There's a younger sister in Huang Lizhen's family. After graduating from high school a few years earlier, she was assigned to the northeast. The family was able to return to the city last year because of her connections. Now, she wants to take the college entrance examination, but she can't buy review materials.

With no one to borrow, Huang Lizhen thought of coming to He Xiaoyun to try her luck.

He Xiaoyun listened to her explanation, handed her a copy of Algebra on the table, and said with a smile: "There are too many people in the bookstore, but I was lucky enough to find this book in a recycling bin. Sister Huang can borrow it."

Huang Lizhen was a little embarrassed: "You have to use it too... I will ask her to quickly finish a copy, and I will pay you back in two days."

"No hurry, I can review other things first."

Two days later, Huang Lizhen returned the book as promised, together with a basket of twenty eggs.

This time, it was He Xiaoyun's turn to be embarrassed, "What is this? If nothing else, Jianwei's had a good friendship with Lao Zhang, if he knew that I had taken Sister Huang's eggs, he would definitely talk about me."

Huang Lizhen smiled and said: "That is our women's business. What does it have to do with our men? Plus, this is my mother's insistence. Your book solved our family's urgent needs. If my younger sister can really get admitted to the university, let alone 20 eggs, 200 eggs can be given to you."

He Xiaoyun said, "Then, let's wait until your little sister is admitted to the university before giving me these eggs. I will definitely accept it when the time comes."

Huang Lizhen laid down the basket of eggs to the floor and walked outside, saying: "No, we'll give this to you right now. You can keep the eggs. If you don't, my mother will personally bring them tomorrow."

"Eh...Sister Huang..." She soon slipped away, and He Xiaoyun couldn't help but get the eggs inside. She was afraid that Huang Lizhen's mother would really come over, and she couldn't deal with the elders, so she had accepted it.

As soon as the news about the college entrance examination was finalized, He Xiaoyun and Wei Jianwei wrote a telegram home and asked Wei Jianhua if he intended to participate. If so, He Xiaoyun could send him her review materials.

Today, Wei Jianwei got off work and brought Wei Jianhua's reply. The content was as expected by He Xiaoyun. Jianhua has no interest in going to the university.

He Xiaoyun folded the letter and glanced at Wei Jianwei's face, and said, "It's okay if Jianhua doesn't participate this time. It's still early this year. If he failed the exam, his confidence might be affected. It's better to wait for him to think about it. He can still participate in the next summer."
