Chapter 186: Watching Wen Leyu: You Took Our Money

The books Pei Wencong urgently purchased for Li Ye were very useful. Li Ye returned to school one day later than the scheduled holiday, and several teachers didn't give him any embarrassment.

Everyone is a sensible person. Looking at Professor Zhang's attitude, it is obvious that he has the posture of taking Li Ye as a "direct disciple," and it's not like there was no leave note, so how could they not give some face?

Only the head teacher, Mu Yunning, dropped a harsh, urging word—if you don't get into the top ten in the final exam, don't count on the scholarship.

Li Ye could naturally get into the top ten.

How could the learning content of the freshman year stump him, this "photographic memory" cheater?

Just relying on the memory function of the biological hard drive, Li Ye could answer 80% of the exam questions, and the rest could be inferred by analogy; just take the exam casually, and it would be close enough.

In late January 1983, universities in Beijing began to go on holiday one after another.

Li Ye greeted Li Dayong and others in advance, and everyone agreed to buy tickets together to return to Qingshui County.

Before agreeing to return, Watching Wen Leyu called Li Ye home for a meal.

As a result, after arriving, Li Ye realized that Watching Wen Leyu calling him home was to "eat and take."

"These are what my dad sent to your grandfather and your father, these are what my mom sent to your grandmother, your mother, and your sister..."

"This one is what I sent to you. You are not allowed to look at it now! Wait until you return to Qingshui County hometown to look at it. It's agreed that you are not allowed to look at it!"

Watching Wen Leyu used her little hands to sort through a pile of gifts, helping Li Ye count the gifts one by one, just like a little hamster "taking things from the maiden home to subsidize the husband's home."

Li Ye was a bit dumbfounded. Based on his understanding of Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng, they would definitely give him a big bag of New Year goods before the year, but he didn't expect it to be so much.

Li Ye smiled and said: "So many things, how can I bring them on the road? You don't know how crowded the train is during the Spring Festival."

But Watching Wen Leyu was prepared and said: "I'll have my brother get you a sleeper ticket, and then you let Li Dayong, Yan Jinbu, and the others each help you take a little, and you'll arrive in Dongshan easily."

Seeing that Li Ye was still a bit embarrassed, Watching Wen Leyu smiled and said: "If you feel bad, bring some walnuts like the last time after the New Year. My mom and I both love to eat them."

"That's fine!" Li Ye had to agree, then said: "Then what does your dad like? He doesn't like walnuts too, right?"

"My dad likes to drink, just bring a few bottles of Fangzi white wine."

"Pfft, if I only bring a few bottles of Fangzi white wine, then I really am a fool."

Li Ye curled his lips and smiled, whispering: "Tomorrow you accompany me to the Friendship Store, let's buy a few bottles of foreign wine for your dad to taste! There should be many types of foreign wine there."

Watching Wen Leyu blinked and said: "My dad does like to drink vodka, but that requires foreign exchange certificates. Do you have any?"

"Of course I have."

Li Ye proudly took out a stack of US dollars from his pocket and scraped out the sound of "sasa" with his fingers.

Watching Wen Leyu, who was becoming more and more "calm," was finally surprised.

She lowered her voice and asked: "Where did you get this money?"

Li Ye whispered: "Didn't I get popular in Hong Kong? That sold well, so I asked them for a bonus."

"Is there such a thing as actively asking for a bonus?"

"Of course, in capitalism... in that kind of society in Hong Kong, if employees feel that their work is outstanding, they can directly propose to the boss to raise their salary or get a bonus."

"You are wrong to say that," Watching Wen Leyu immediately corrected: "You are not an employee working for a capitalist; you are a citizen of the Central Plains who righteously fought for your legitimate interests..."

"Right, right, right, I actually meant that..."

Li Ye could only nod repeatedly, indicating that Watching Wen Leyu's awareness was still high.

But he didn't expect that Watching Wen Leyu's awareness was truly high.

"Mom, come over and see, Li Ye really earned foreign exchange~~"

"."

Li Ye held the stack of US dollars in his hand tightly, feeling that they were growing small wings one by one and were about to fly away.

With Teacher Ke's current level, she no longer values money, but she can't help but know that foreign exchange in this era is a scarce thing!

Teacher Ke didn't pay much attention when she heard Watching Wen Leyu's shout. She wasn't like she hadn't seen foreign exchange before. The foreign exchange needed by the education system to buy foreign books every year was not a small amount.

But when Teacher Ke saw that the US dollars in Li Ye's hand were not a few, but a stack, she was also very surprised.

"Where did you get this foreign exchange?"

"Mom, didn't I tell you last time? Li Ye gave Hong Kong..."

Li Ye didn't need to speak; Watching Wen Leyu explained it to her mother in a rush, clear and very understandable.

Teacher Ke didn't disbelieve it, because a few days ago, Beijing University also reported a deed that the work "Looking at the Lonely Army" of their school's literature club was published in Hong Kong, promoting the history of the Central Plains and playing a role in condensing national self-esteem, etc.

And checking back, in fact, Seven-Inch Blade's "Flying Wind" had long been published in Hong Kong magazines, and it is said that the reprint fees paid to the Lanhai Publishing House were ten thousand US dollars per quarter.

But after those ten thousand US dollars came in, they also needed to be coordinated and arranged. It is said that the amount that could fall into the hands of the Lanhai Literature Club was not even three thousand, but how much did Li Ye have in his hand now?

At least five thousand, right?

"Li Ye, how do you plan to use this money?"

"I was just discussing with Watching Wen Leyu to go to the Friendship Store... buy a few bottles of good wine for Uncle Wen, then buy two coats for her and Teacher Ke, and buy a few pairs of leather shoes for Brother Wen..."

These were actually what Li Ye had planned long ago. Although he didn't have the title of son-in-law yet, he couldn't show nothing at all during the New Year, right? Not to mention that they gave a big bag of New Year goods!

But Li Ye said a long string of things in a serious manner, and seeing Teacher Ke smiling without saying a word, he finally had to sigh and admit it.

He stuffed the money into Teacher Ke's hand and said: "I'll hand over this money, you give me an idea on how to arrange it specifically."

This actually made Teacher Ke laugh, but after thinking about it, she still took the money.

Watching Wen Leyu was dumbfounded. Where was her awareness high just now? She wanted to call her mom over to show off!

How come in a blink of an eye, the money belonged to the public?

"Don't look at me like that, this money, Li Ye's donation is not a loss."

"Donation?"

Watching Wen Leyu's eyes widened.

And Li Ye lowered his head, hoping Teacher Ke wouldn't look at his eyes again.

This future mother-in-law is a bit powerful!

Fortunately, there were only five thousand in his hand today. If he had brought all ten thousand today, he wouldn't even have private money?

However, after Li Ye left, Watching Wen Leyu followed Teacher Ke like a little tail, nagging non-stop.

"You took our money, you took our money, I wanted to buy good wine for Dad, and I also wanted to buy an imported leather coat..."

"Didn't I tell you? This money, he won't lose."

"I just think it's a loss, you took our money, even if you say it to the sky, you took our money..."

The logic is that logic, Watching Wen Leyu might not understand it,

But can a woman's nature be measured by logic?

Old Feng didn't calculate the days well, forgot that today is the first day of the tenth lunar month. According to the customs here, we have to go back to our hometown to visit the graves on the first day of the tenth lunar month, traveling hundreds of kilometers, which delayed too much time. Not to mention adding chapters, even the passing line for normal updates couldn't be gathered. Truly ashamed, I can only pray for everyone's forgiveness, my additional chapters will be postponed for two days.
