Chapter Forty-Eight: The Bookstore

Back in the dormitory, the people who stayed with them had not returned, and the two did not speak again, and lay down in silence with their clothes. The eyes are sore and sore, the body is tired and sore, and when you close your eyes, you can vaguely feel that the summer lotus is swaying in the wind, "the wind and rain are sorrowful for the flowers". The sound of the whirring wind accompanied by the tinkling of the rain, just fell asleep in a daze, the rapid rainstorm smashed like madness on the roof, and all the exposed objects, the rain in front of the eaves was like a curtain, accompanied by the sound of rushing water, wantonly in the dark night, venting at will—will not wake up, will not sleep, will not sleep, in a noise can hardly sleep, until the wind and rain are sparse before falling asleep.

Xiaojun woke up in the same sleeper, washed up, woke up the "ghost brother", told him that he had gone to class, and disappeared with the sound of footsteps. "Brother Ghost" rubbed his eyes and sat up, the shower had stopped, the sky was slightly cloudy, and the red morning glow was scattered on the ground. "Brother Ghost" also got up, cleaned up the bed, locked the door, crawled in the pool and washed his face, sobered up a lot, and wanted to go to say hello to Mr. Zhang, but the door was locked, so he walked to the bookstore in the coolness.

My cousin, too, was sleepy-eyed and swollen, and stood on the side of the street, stunned, looking at the passers-by. "Brother Ghost" walked over and shouted: Cousin -- The cousin came back to his senses and said with a smile: Let's go, let's go to breakfast together! After speaking, the two of them walked to the "fried bun shop" opposite and ate the dates in a gulp. The cousin paid, and the "ghost brother" patted him on the shoulder, and the two left separately.

The door of the bookstore has long been opened, there are still traces of water on the ground, the counters and bookcases are clean and tidy, and the boss is standing in the bathroom in the corner, washing the rags. Seeing the "ghost brother" coming in, he shouted: Liu Guixian, here! "Brother ghost" smiled slightly and said: Boss, is there anything that hasn't been cleaned up, do you need my help?

Alright—sit down!" shouted the boss as he hung the rag. "Ghost brother" sat down, rubbed his eyes, and rubbed his stiff cheeks. The boss walked over, looked at it and said: his eyes were red - "Ghost Brother" nodded. The boss said: Rest today, you should all be tired!

The boss smiled "hahaha", sighed and said: It's right to think so, it's a fact, and everyone has no power to return to the sky - you make your own arrangements, and you can go back early today!

The boss said and took out a bottle of water from the shelf and handed it to him, patted him on the shoulder and said: I want to open a little - "ghost brother" nodded, the boss joked and said: Liu Guixian, just kidding, of course I feel that you have no problem, if you can't pass the test, and you don't want to repeat the words, don't drill the horns, let's cooperate, you are outside the master, I am the master, how is the way out!

After hearing this, the "ghost brother" also laughed "hehehe", and pretended to be angry and said: "Boss, you can't expect me to be good, crow's mouth!" The boss laughed "hahaha" and said curtly: Of course I hope you are well, I hope you are well! After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled. Ding-bell-ring-The phone rang, the boss walked over, picked up the phone and said "hey", and shouted at the "ghost brother": Liu Guixian-looking for you--handed him the phone after speaking.

"Brother Ghost" picked up the phone, sorted out his emotions, cleared his throat, and shouted into the microphone: Hey-Hello-Teacher-I'm Liu Guixian-Xiao Liu-

Brother Ghost - It's Me - "Brother Ghost" heard the familiar voice again, he was stunned for a while, his nose was sour in vain, and he shouted with tears in his eyes and a little crying: Xuemei - Zhang Xuemei - why did you call here?

Uh-huh—I called my mom, and she told me that you should be in the bookstore today—I know it, I should be back at noon, you wait for me!" Zhang Xuemei said in a low voice. "Brother Ghost" wiped away his tears and said calmly: Don't toss, it takes half a day to go back and forth, it won't help if you come back, it's just a lot of sadness, wait for you to come back next time, I'll take you to see!

I'm already at the station, the tickets are all bought, and I want to send her off—Zhang Xuemei said. "Brother Ghost" said helplessly: Okay-then I'll wait for you in the bookstore-

Okay - wait for the meeting - Zhang Xuemei hung up the phone after speaking.

"Brother Ghost" put down the phone, wiped his tears, sat down with his head down embarrassedly, and the boss smiled slightly and said: The man has tears and doesn't flick - "Brother Ghost" squeezed out a smile with red eyes, looked at the boss and said: That's not to the sad place - when you just started talking about it yesterday, I thought it was her!

After listening to this, the boss jokingly smelled: That-that's your good friend-should be called a girlfriend-"Ghost brother" laughed, smiled happily from the bottom of his heart, smiled at the boss, and didn't answer again. "Ghost Brother" picked up a copy of "Computer Enthusiast" and flipped through it at will.

The boss also began to pick up the teacup, while puffing and drinking, he also picked up the book casually, read it for a while, looked at the fascinated appearance of the "ghost brother", and asked seriously: Liu Guixian, tell me, is the computer difficult to learn? "Ghost brother" did not raise his head, and said with his head down: "It's not difficult—you can be proficient if you use it more, just like you use an abacus to settle accounts!"

Is it - I want to learn, maybe the bookstore will be able to use it in the future! The boss was not confident, but said in high spirits. "Brother Ghost" raised his head and looked at him, and said happily: "Yes—take precautions!

The boss looked like a girl, lowered his head, twisted his neck and said shyly: Isn't that a teacher to worship you - do you accept it? "Ghost brother" smiled "hehehe", grinned happily and said: Boss, you are too exalted to me, and I will only be a fur -

It's enough to teach me, and I'm not engaged in research, at most it's just for fun! The boss said curtly, "Brother Ghost" smiled, sighed, nodded with considerable pressure, and said: Okay - it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate! The boss happily looked at "Brother Ghost" while singing like a child, frowned, walked up to "Brother Ghost" thoughtfully, patted him on the shoulder and said: Boss Liu, don't look at it- Help me come up with ideas, I've been wondering if it's necessary for us to move the bookstore down the main street as well, at least to be more eye-catching!

After listening to this, the "ghost brother" put down the book and asked solemnly, solemnly: Why? Isn't it good here?

The boss also sat down, took a sip of saliva, and said slowly: I think so, let's say it bluntly, looking at your brother's Internet café, the business is not bad, a little greedy - this is secondly, the most important thing is to borrow your credit, our bookstore has recently increased a lot of customers, attracting a lot of students, but at first I couldn't find it, I just had some ideas!

"Ghost brother" looked at the boss, pretended to be a gesture, and said: Boss, the matter of the Internet café, you think carefully, and the investment is quite large, and your cousin is also borrowing a lot of debts outside, you observe it first - as for the matter of the bookstore, I have also considered it, of course, the main thing is that you have the idea-

The boss leaned in front of him, raised his hand and signaled to "Brother Ghost" and said: "Boss Liu, listen up!" "Brother Ghost" shook his hand and continued: You can move a land, can you move the dead and live, but there is no need to squeeze on the main street, you are a bookstore after all, the main street is too noisy, not suitable, but I paid attention to a place, on the first of the entrance of this alley, the direction of the door is the same as yours, all open to the south, both facing the main street, and also eye-catching, mainly because I am short of two floors!

The boss's eyes lit up, he smiled knowingly, and nodded with satisfaction, but he still asked a little puzzled: We don't need to be so big, one layer is enough! "Brother Ghost" stared at the boss in surprise with wide glasses, and said: Boss, don't you also want to open an Internet café - you observe this first, you can upgrade the bookstore to a higher level in the early stage, called Zhuangyuan Book City, the first floor is all tutorial books, of course, mainly for the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, the second floor, since it has moved to the side of the road, don't just target students, you can consider thinking about famous books, politics and economics, History and other things that can be read and purchased by both adults and students, as well as stationery and gifts like now. If you want to build an Internet café in the future, you can merge the second floor and the first floor together, and the second floor is enough for you to make an Internet café about the same size as your cousin!

The boss nodded frequently, his brain thought up and down like his abacus, and said happily: Isn't this comparable to Xinhua Bookstore, Boss Liu's idea is very good, I think about it! "Ghost Brother" looked at the boss, and said with a smile: After thinking about it, get on the horse, don't delay the fighter, time is money!

The boss laughed out loud after hearing "hahaha", picked up the abacus and crackled and calculated; "Ghost Brother" picked up the book, drank water, looked at the watch, it was almost noon, looked at the book in front of him and looked at half of the unfinished book, quickly picked it up, and continued to look.
