Chapter Eighty-Five: Buying Books

Zhao Qiwu hung up the phone and remembered that there was not even a bed in his house.

Fortunately, it was convenient in the big city, so he ran to buy mats and blankets, and prepared to sleep in a new house at night.

On the way, I bought another bag of buns, and then took a taxi home.

When he got home, he saw that there were a lot of people walking by the lake nearby, so he came down early, and it was quite comfortable to walk along the water's edge anyway.

Before I got to the entrance of the house, I saw an old man setting up a small bookstall on the ground under the street lamp opposite the gate of his house.

I couldn't help but come over, the bookstall was a hodgepodge, selling everything, classical classics, martial arts novels, study materials, notebooks, readers' digest story meetings, pens, pencils, ballpoint pens and the like.

When he was in junior high school, he was reluctant to buy anything himself, and of course he didn't have the money to buy it if he wanted to. I can only borrow other people's books to read them, and I have to queue up, and wait for the classmates who bought the books to read them all over again, and then I can take my turn.

Now that I have a little money, I felt that I had to make up for my regrets.

He has also read a few classical masterpieces, but like the Three Kingdoms of the Water Margin, he has only read the first half, and the characters in the second half of the book died miserably, so he couldn't stand it.

Now that I have the money, I don't plan to buy it.

I took two readers and a youth digest, and after thinking about it, I took a copy of Liaoning youth - these are all popular in junior high school.

There is also a Jingwu magazine, although it is old, there are actually 42 styles of Taijiquan in it, and he was interested at that time. This is different from the martial arts that I bought from the bulging Su, this is a magazine, and it is a serious thing no matter how you look at it.

Just a few old books, the old man who set up the stall actually asked him for fifteen yuan.

Zhao Qiwu looked at a few broken books that had obviously been turned over, and used the bargaining trick he learned from others to cut in half: "If you have no money, it's seven yuan and five, do you sell it or not?"

"Not for sale. "The old man is sharper than him, and no customer at all is God's spirit of service.

"It's really gone, you see I'm a poor student...... "This product is idle, and the more people don't sell it, the more energetic it becomes."

The old man didn't even roll his eyelids: "Student, why don't you go home early, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhao Qiwu was upset: "Why am I not a good student? You don't want to eat if you don't see me, so I just bought something to eat on the way to prepare it for dinner, and save some money to buy books." I didn't have a place to live, so I rolled up the covers and ran here to prepare to lay the floor......"

An old man squatting next to him was reading a book by the street lamp, and said when he saw this: "It's not easy for a student baby, just a few dollars, why should you be so serious." ”

"Student, that bun is Qingfeng's, right? If you can't afford to eat, you can afford to eat Qingfeng's bun?" The old man who set up the stall had a very good look, and at a glance at night, he could see where the bag of buns that Zhao Qiwu was carrying was bought.

"It's gone, didn't you just buy a bun! Eight yuan, you can give it to me! Big night, this ......" Zhao Qiwu didn't answer him.

It was not easy to say that it was not easy, but I thought that this place was shaded by willows, the water was rippling, the evening breeze was blowing, and the people on the road were all people who came for a walk, and then the old man did not look like a poor man who could not afford to eat, so he could not speak.

"What are you talking about with him, kid? The old man interjected again.

"That's it, sell it, sell it!" Zhao Qiwu said and took out a piece of money for a long time, and when he saw that it was ten yuan, he immediately changed his words. "You'll have to leave me two dollars for breakfast tomorrow, or I'll go to school hungry." ”

The old man who sold books rolled his eyelids now, but when he rolled his eyes, he rolled his eyes: "You don't have the truth as a student, which school are you from?"

"What's the matter, do you still want to go to school to sue me? Second high school, first and third class of high school, you can go!" Zhao Qiwu just figured out that the capital is a city, so there is no such thing as their rural wheat busy vacation. Just now he met Lao Feng's son after school, and everyone is still in school!

But this guy is just bad, and the old man will definitely not guess that he is talking about the second high thousands of miles away.

Sure enough, the old man smiled: "Coincidentally, what do you say about your name, I'll ask your principal when I go back, why the students don't sleep in the middle of the night and are still wandering here." ”

"Go, go, go!" Zhao Qiwu was happy in his heart. "Hurry up, it's eight dollars, find me two. ”

As a result, he showed his feet as soon as he was happy, and the old man took his money and didn't ask for him: "You didn't tell the truth, did you? ”

"It's a puppy to deceive. "Zhao Qiwu gambled, he is really the second middle school, the second middle school in Sanhe Town, like a fake exchange. "Hurry up and find me money!"

The old man stared at him and looked at him: "You tell me which school you are from, don't say that you won't find money." ”

"The second middle school is really not deceiving. Zhao Qiwu smiled. "But it's not the second middle school here, the high school in the countryside, we are busy with the wheat vacation. Haha! Tell you you don't know where you are. ”

In addition to the old man who was squatting and reading a white book, there were two other customers who had just come over, and they were all happy when they heard it.

The old man who set up the stall was laughed at with a bad face, snorted, and took out two yuan: "Two yuan for you." If you have money, you can buy idle books to read, and I don't know what kind of study materials to buy, what kind of students. ”

Zhao Qiwu doesn't want it yet, we are such a personality, I saw him reach out and take a notebook and a ballpoint pen from the stall: "No, these two things are two yuan, don't take advantage of you." Let's go!"

The old man held the money and blew his beard, glaring and withdrawing his outstretched arm: "Thanks to you, you are not the ...... of the second middle school."

"That's a pity! Thank you for caring about my study! Hahaha......" Zhao Qiwu was triumphant.

The last one was louder, and I heard the gold screaming from inside the door of my house.

It is estimated that this little guy has not eaten enough, and has been squatting at the door waiting for the master to come home!

Turning and taking two steps, he opened the door, and the gold came out, and his tail wagged in the wind.

Zhao Qiwu hardened his heart, didn't give him food, and prepared to go into the backyard to have a look.

Before I could go in and close the door, I heard the old man selling books behind me shouting: "Little liar......

At that time, he was upset and stuck his head out: "Who are you talking about? Who lied to you?"

"You!" the old man puffed out. "You say you have no money, and you can't afford to eat. You live here, and the dogs you raise are worth the old nose money, tell me you don't have any money?"

"There's no money!" Zhao Qiwu hehe. "Look at how broken this house is, and there is no money to repair it. The dog is so hungry that it can't eat, you look at it like this, isn't it hungry and anxious!"

Aren't you hungry? Now Kaneko probably smelled the smell of steamed buns, and rushed towards him, wanting to eat them.

The old man was angry: "Fortunately, you are not the second middle school here, otherwise you will see how I will clean you up when I turn around." ”

Zhao Qiwu was not afraid: "I can't come if I want to, people don't accept it." Why don't you do me a favor and transfer me to school here?"

"If you dare to come, I'll help you turn. I'll borrow it for you, won't you come?" the old man was more serious.

"If you have the ability, you can do something that you don't borrow!" Zhao Qiwu hurriedly closed the door after speaking, and everyone walking on the road saw the two of them shouting across the road, how embarrassed.

Before closing the door, I heard the old man sigh angrily: "You don't dare to come to ...... for you."

......

entered the yard, until he saw that there was nothing in the place where he threw the bun at noon, and made sure that the guy Jin Zi had eaten all the bun skins, so Zhao Qiwu threw the food he bought on the road to it.

You can't get used to it, you see it is now gobbling up, eating everything, how can it still be in the mood to subcontract the filling and skin.

There is water and electricity in this house, and he is still thinking about how to pay the water and electricity bills tomorrow by the way.

After washing, lay the mat in the corridor and lay down, and I don't think I'm panicking below, as for saying that it's not good to sleep on the ground, it's okay for a while and a half - the silly boy sleeps on the cold kang, and it all depends on the firepower!

Then I touched the gold that I had eaten enough and ran over to lie next to it, and found that I didn't have the same eagerness to read the book as I had at the beginning. So I summed up today's harvest and felt that I had done quite well, that is, for dinner at night, I should call the two people who had helped me.

As for deliberately making trouble when buying books in the end, it should not be called Cang Liao and know etiquette, it should be called a full meal.

Finally, I thought about it, and felt that I couldn't waste the pen and the book, so I lay on the mat and wrote the address of my house and the address of Lao Niu's house on it.

It was also written in detail, not only with the address, but also with the area and price, and also recalled that the handling fee for the flower was written.

I'm still running out of pages after I've finished writing, and looking at this hardcover notebook, it's not too thick, and I can't help but think, when will I buy the house myself, and fill this one.

Then he fell asleep soundly.
