A penny can stump a hero. No matter in any era, money is a necessity in life.
If Li Jie is twenty this year, he can work in a factory, resell agricultural and sideline products, teach and educate people, write books, engage in serious business, and do many things allowed by policies.
But he is only twelve years old this year, a primary school student who has not yet graduated from elementary school. At this age, there are really not many ways to make money.
Of course, as early as when he entered the dungeon, Li Jie had considered how to break through a similar start.
Knowledge is power, knowledge is money, this is true in ancient and modern times.
How can a student make money through legitimate channels?
It’s very simple, it’s a scholarship!
Although there are no scholarships in schools in this era, there are still joint entrance exams and entrance exams. Having exams means there are evaluations.
Chinese people have attached great importance to rankings since ancient times. In ancient times, the imperial examinations were ranked first, second, third, and third, and the positions in the upper dynasty were divided into east, west, and west.
Nowadays, exams include school rankings, regional rankings, and national rankings. The seats you sit in meetings depend on your position and status, and when you have dinner with leaders, you also pay attention to the seats you sit in.
Li Jie is currently studying in an ordinary primary school. He is in fifth grade this year and is about to take the entrance exam from primary school to junior high school.
And this exam is one of his opportunities.
First in the city, he wants it!
He will make it a condition for him to stay and continue to attend junior high school, so as to obtain favorable conditions for him, such as free tuition, scholarships, etc.
However, there is still nearly half a month before the primary school entrance examination, and during this period, Li Jie will not be able to get the school's rewards.
Although I can't get any rewards from the school for the time being, there is still someone who can solve my urgent needs.
Wen Qinghua!
Wen Qinghua is a substitute teacher that the original owner met in the fourth grade, and he is also the first important person in the life of the original owner.
It is precisely because of the appearance of Wen Qinghua that the 'original owner' desires to study and become a person as elegant and bookish as Teacher Wen.

The next day, the morning sun rose, and the days continued. Qiao Zuwang did not go to work today. He had to go to the hospital and crematorium to deal with Qiao's mother's funeral affairs.
Before leaving home, he verbally arranged the roles of several children for the day.
"Yicheng, Erqiang, you go to school as usual today. Sanli and Simei, stay at home and don't run around. Dad, I will be back at noon."
"Yes."X3
The three little ones replied crisply one after another.
As the night passed, the youngest Simei had returned to her usual liveliness, while the older Sanli and Erqiang seemed to understand something, but they seemed not to understand.
Death is still a very strange and distant word to them.
Qiao Zu glanced at Li Jie who was silent, sighed, and turned away without saying anything else.
The eldest son is the oldest and is no longer ignorant. Moreover, the eldest son has been close to his mother since he was a child.
Now that Shufen has suddenly disappeared, it is normal for the boss to change.
After Qiao Zuwang left, the honest Erqiang pulled Li Jie's sleeve.
"Brother, let's go to school."
Li Jie had other plans today. He was going to find Wen Qinghua for help. Naturally, he would not go to school.
In the summer of 1977, the college entrance examination system, which had been suspended for ten years, was restored. Although the official document had not yet been issued, the news had already spread.
Restart the college entrance examination?
Regardless of whether the news is true or false, any young person who is interested in going to college will regard it as true and hope that it is true.
Therefore, many well-informed young people have begun to pick up their long-abandoned textbooks and prepare to take the upcoming college entrance examination, either this year or next year.
It just so happened that Wen Qinghua was the kind of young man who aspired to go to university. Although he had been a substitute teacher, he was not very old and was less than twenty this year.
Originally written in Chinese, Tsinghua University, his eldest brother and second sister took the college entrance examination this winter. In the end, he and his sister, who was nearly thirty years old, were admitted to the same university and were in the same department and class.
Wen Qinghua's parents were both great intellectuals who returned to China after studying abroad in the early years of liberation. His father was a Ph.D. from an Ivy League school and the former president of a famous university.
There was a time when his parents were labeled as reactionary academic authorities. Wen Qinghua's mother had a strong temper and jumped off a building in grief and anger, while his father was a weaker temper and finally survived.
Now that era has passed, his father's reputation has been restored, and the house that was originally repossessed will naturally be returned to them.
The Wen family lives in Gulou District, the most prosperous area of Jinling - Yihe Road.
A Yihe Road is half a step into the history of the Republic of China. Both sides of the street are lined with sycamore trees that someone liked. After decades, the sycamore trees there have long grown into lush foliage.
Hidden behind the sycamore trees are old bungalows from the Republic of China, with yellow walls and red tiles, red painted shutters, and wooden doors with copper locks. Being inside them feels like traveling through time to the Republic of China era.
No. 98, Yihe Road.
Li Jie followed the memory in his mind and found Wen Qinghua's home. If it were his previous 'self', he would most likely turn around and leave out of timidity after seeing such a magnificent house.
But now he won't.
Borrowing money is just a way to get closer. With Li Jie's ability, even though he is young, it does not prevent him from making money through other means.
have to!
have to!
Li Jie walked up the steps to the door and gently knocked on Wen's door.
After a while, there was a rustling of footsteps behind the door.
Squeak.
The wooden door slowly opened, and a young man wearing a white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses appeared in Li Jie's sight.
"One percent?"
Seeing Li Jie standing at the door, Wen Qinghua's eyes flashed with surprise. Wen Qinghua liked this student with excellent grades who always ran to the office and lay on the window sill to watch him.
"Teacher Wen, hello."
Li Jie bowed to him respectfully to thank him for everything he had done in the past.
"You kid, what happened today?"
Wen Qinghua quickly supported Li Jie, and as he spoke, he held his hand and walked inside.
"Come in, come in and sit in the house."
The two of them walked through the door, walked through the entrance hall, and came to an empty living room. The living room was large, but there were only a few log seats and a log-colored coffee table.
Such a simple and elegant furniture configuration may not look out of place if placed elsewhere, but it would seem a bit inconsistent when placed in a house full of American style.
"Issei, sit down."
Wen Qinghua helped Li Jie sit on the stool, and he carefully looked at the student who suddenly came to the door.
As soon as he sat down, he noticed something unusual.
No, it’s a school day this year. Why did ‘Yizheng’ come to my house at this time? He skipped school?
Impossible, a well-behaved child like 'Yicheng' would never skip school without any reason.
