Chapter 136: Buy a book
Hearing this, Xu Tongdao glanced at Ge Lianghua, smiled slightly, and did not refute.
It's not that I think Ge Lianghua is right, but I don't think there's any need to refute, it's all in the past anyway.
Only he knows why he decided to partner with Xi Dongyang in the first place, in the final analysis, it was not to temporarily stabilize Xi Dongyang, who might take risks?
"Thin Tiger" plays Dongyang......
It's so famous.
He Xu Tongdao only wants to make money, and he doesn't want to play with that kind of person, so there are only two ways to go, either bow down with Xi Dongyang, or ...... Use the momentary interests to stabilize the play Dongyang first.
He chose the second one.
And today, their cooperation is over, Xi Dongyang is gone, and when Xi Dongyang is gone, Xu Tongdao didn't see the anger on his face.
Therefore, after Xu Tongdao judged that after playing Dongyang, he should not play with him again.
What's more, now his cousin rooster Ge Lianghua lives next door to him, and he is also learning barbecue skills from him.
It's just that......
He just hoped that Xi Dongyang would be willing to continue the partnership.
......
"Xiaodao, you see there's nothing going on today, or ...... I'm going back to my hometown now, and I want to go back as soon as possible and get the money from the shares. ”
At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Tonglin said this idea to Xu Tongdao.
Xu Tongdao thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Then Xu Tonglin simply packed his luggage and left.
In the evening, Ge Lianghua also left, saying that he was going to Feng Qinghua's place for dinner, and asked Xu Tongdao if he wanted to go with him?
Xu Tongdao thought that his invitation was purely polite and duplicitous.
He was also not interested in being a light bulb, so he refused.
But as soon as Ge Lianghua left, Xu Tongdao suddenly found that the house was so quiet, and he was the only one left.
There were no computers, no mobile phones, not even a magazine or a newspaper, only the slight sound of the kettle on the coal stove, and it was estimated that the water in the kettle was about to boil.
It made him feel a little lonely.
Inexplicable ...... He suddenly thought of a song: "Who do you think of when you are lonely?"
A song that used to be very popular.
He had forgotten how to sing, but that didn't prevent him from thinking of Wu Yali, who had just had a skin-to-skin relationship with him last night.
It's a pity that it's not dark yet, and their relationship is not bright.
Find something to do!
After lighting a cigarette and thinking about half a cigarette with his head down, Xu Tongdao sighed, got up and took the umbrella, locked the door, and went out.
He was going to find a bookstore and buy a few books to come back.
He was a man in two lives, and his student career came to an abrupt end after junior high school.
Does he have no regrets in his heart?
Absolutely.
It's just that life forces him, even if his score in the high school entrance examination is higher than many people, enough for him to go to high school, he can only choose to give up.
But he knew in his heart that it would definitely be good to read more.
If you can't go to school, then buy some books and read them for yourself! He is still confident in his learning ability.
On the way to the bookstore, he told himself in his heart: Interest is the best teacher! As long as it is the knowledge that interests me, even if there is no teacher to teach me, I will definitely be able to learn.
He didn't know where there was a bookstore in this county right now in 98, but he knew the location of the No. 1 middle school and the No. 2 middle school in County D, and he believed that there must be a bookstore near the school.
County No. 1 Middle School is a little far away from where he lives, and County No. 2 Middle School is not too far, so he walked out and went in the direction of County No. 2 Middle School.
He estimated that the small bookstore in front of the school should sell all learning materials, so he chose the main road leading to the county No. 2 middle school, and he remembered that in a few years, there would be two or three slightly larger bookstores on that main road.
For example, Sanwei Bookstore, such as Xinhua Bookstore, and so on.
Anyway, there was nothing else to do this afternoon, so he walked slowly, looking at the old county town of 98 years and walking forward.
About half an hour later, Xinhua Bookstore appeared in his sight.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
How long has it been since you touched a book?
More than a decade, or more than 20 years?
Walking into this bookstore with complicated feelings, Xu Tongdao first walked around the first floor, and what he saw was not learning materials, or some stationery and sporting goods, but there were no books he wanted.
So, he went up to the second floor.
The bookstore is very quiet, including the second floor, except for the salesperson upstairs, there are few people reading and buying books, Xu Tongdao thinks it's very good, he likes such a quiet bookstore, smelling the aroma of paper and ink everywhere, his pace slowed down unconsciously.
He saw quite a few books that interested him.
For example, when he saw the history books of various dynasties and generations, he remembered what his history teacher had told them when he was a student - reading history can make people wise.
For example, some recipe books, including the eight major cuisines of China, as well as special cold recipes, pastries, Western food, etc., all of which he also wants to buy.
For example, he also wants to buy a high school Chinese textbook above a row of bookshelves, he used to learn the best Chinese, when he was in elementary school, he always took the first place in the class in Chinese, three years in junior high school, he also took the first place in the whole grade twice, he likes to read articles written by famous writers, such as Lu Xun's, although it is not an ancient text, but it also has a charm, as well as those ancient poems, every time I read it before, it feels like a kind of enjoyment, after reading it again, it seems to have an illusion of lips and teeth.
There are many other books, and he wants to buy them too.
For example, although he has never learned Go, he has longed for the day when he can learn to play Go.
He had heard that Go was like the art of war, and he had learned to exercise his mind.
And the flute......
He also wants to learn, how many times when he is lonely alone, he feels that if he can play the flute, he should be very suitable for the situation and can relieve the loneliness in his heart.
But......
Eventually, he took control of his desire to buy.
He didn't buy everything he wanted back, because he knew that he didn't have that much free time to learn so many things, so he had to choose.
Eventually, he bought a set of 24 histories, as well as a Chinese textbook for the first year of high school.
Before leaving, when he was about to go to the checkout, he hesitated for a few seconds, and couldn't help but go and get another copy of "The Art of War", which was also the book he had always wanted to read.
He knew that he lived in this era, and he did not have the opportunity to lead troops to war, but he felt that "The Art of War" could be used in many places in life.
After settling the bill, when he walked out of the bookstore with the books he bought, Xu Tongdao looked down at the books in his arms and smiled slightly.
Because at this moment he had already decided, every day from now on, he would try to find some time to read more books.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't have the opportunity to continue to go to school! As long as he has the perseverance to wear drops of water, he will learn everything he wants to learn sooner or later.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a diploma, but you can't still be as uneducated as in your previous life!
