The copy room is ten steps away.

Li Jianguo followed him: "The call is over?"

"Well, I made a phone call to find an old friend of the Peace Hotel, and hung up after a few casual words, saying that there was no problem, there was a room, and the dinner at night was also arranged, and a cubicle was arranged. ”

"Letter of introduction. Li Jianguo reminded him.

The door opened.

"Then Yiming, you can print it yourself, will it be used?" asked Liu Guoping.

"Yes, I read it just now, I have to turn on the machine first, and then when the warm-up is finished, then put the paper in, and I want to copy it face down, press that to start. After Li Yiming finished speaking, he took the paper and went to turn on the machine.

"This kid has such a good memory, we were a group of people studying at the time, and we were still using it messily for two hours. ”

"Okay, hurry up, what time is it? Li Jianguo urged him.

Liu Guoping nodded, he opened the drawer and took the seal to write a letter of introduction, introducing the so-and-so of his unit to go to your unit for business accommodation, without this, he really couldn't live in the Peace Hotel, which was a first-class hotel.

At this time, there was already the sound of a car outside, someone opened the door to get out of the car, and then closed the car door, followed by a "Director Liu!"

"The car is coming. Liu Guoping handed over a few letters of introduction to Li Jianguo, "You can fill in the other ones by yourself." ”

The relationship between the two, there is no need to say anything, Li Jianguo put these letters of introduction in his bag.

Seeing that Li Yiming hadn't come back yet, Liu Guoping's face suddenly sank, and he lowered his voice: "Jianguo, I have to talk about you!"

"What's wrong?" Li Jianguo was a little confused.

"Yiming's two books, why are the children orphans?"

“......”

Liu Guoping pointed to his nose and emphasized: "You are a father, you are not qualified!"

Li Jianguo choked up, tilted his head and inhaled deeply, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

"Uncle Guoping, I'm fine!" Li Yiming called out in the aisle.

"Forget it!" Liu Guoping shook his head and locked the drawer, "You will pay attention in the future, the child has no mother, I don't know how bitter my heart is, I saw that his tears were about to fall when he wrote the lyrics." ”

"Uncle Guoping, the machine is closed, the door is locked, this is the key. Li Yiming appeared at the door.

He glanced at his father, and his mouth moved slightly: "Dad, it's okay... Let's go!"

Li Jianguo nodded silently.

Liu Guoping looked at the manuscripts: "Wait a minute, I'll take two file bags and put them in." Don't disperse. ”

hurriedly took two bags and put them on, and put two big black iron clips on them: "Let's go." ”

…...

"Yiming, look how good your father is to you!" Liu Guoping said to the front in the back seat.

Li Yiming nodded.

Li Jianguo looked out the window and didn't speak, the bicycle flow on the road was mixed with countless bells, and his heart was very confused.

"Lao Wu has to be a little late today, about seven o'clock. Liu Guoping said, "Just stay first, take a shower or something." ”

There are few cars on the road, and it takes less than ten minutes to arrive.

The Peace Hotel was originally a foreign-related hotel, of course, it is also open to the inside, just to find some relationship, as long as the relationship is reached, everything will be even.

The three of them first went to the front desk of the hotel to register.

After completing the registration, Liu Guoping went to the catering department to ask about it.

Li Jianguo took his son in the hall, and happened to see a small shop in the hall, where a small counter was full of English books and English tapes, as well as Walkmans.

Li Yiming looked at the logo: "It's Sony, it seems that it has a subsidiary called Aihua, which specializes in Walkman." ”

"The company's name is Aihua?" Li Jianguo heard very painfully.

"Well, they always have that kind of name. ”

Li Jianguo pointed to those things: "Want foreign exchange coupons to buy?"

The salesman shook his head: "No. Directly with the price of money on the side. ”

Li Jianguo looked at it, and the price was about 20% more expensive without foreign exchange coupons. But if you go outside to exchange foreign exchange coupons, it is estimated that it will be one or two percent more expensive, so people simply mark two prices, and you don't need to find scalpers, just give it to me.

Foreign exchange coupons, which Li Yiming has never seen.

It was used for 80 years, and it was used for fifteen years, which is specifically for expatriates.

After entering the country, they have to exchange foreign currency for foreign currency vouchers, and when they leave Chinese mainland, they can choose to exchange foreign currency vouchers back for hard currency or keep them for their next visit to China.

Therefore, many foreigners will call this foreign exchange coupon a tourist currency.

Because of the exchange rate and exchange difference, whether foreigners come to China, or Chinese want to go abroad for various reasons, they will inevitably accept official exploitation, and the theoretical loss of one exchange will reach 50%, which has also given birth to the emergence of countless foreign exchange coupon scalpers.

What an expensive price!

Li Yiming didn't want to buy it when he saw the price.

The Sony WM-7 Walkman with automatic tape flipping, repeated playback technology and noise reduction technology costs 400 foreign exchange coupons for a piece, and the RMB is 440 yuan.

As soon as Li Jianguo took out the money, Li Yiming held him down and pointed to a cassette tape: "I want to see that." ”

"It's 30 yuan to buy. The salesman didn't move, and said casually.

"I'm going to give it a try. Li Yiming took out a few big solidarity cards from his bag, "If it's bad, I won't buy it." ”

The salesman looked at the money, turned around and picked up a cassette tape: "This is for books." ”

Li Yiming looked at the tape, compared to others, it was missing a layer of plastic film, as if it had been opened, and asked quietly, "How much is the book?"

"Twenty bucks. ”

Li Yiming stretched out his hand: "I'll take a look." ”

The salesman hesitated for a moment, and then saw the Chinese cigarette handed over by Li Jianguo, his expression was loose, he took a very thick book and put it on the counter, and by the way, took the cigarette and put it in the drawer at the back.

"Want to hear it?"

"Hmm. ”

I put the tape in the tripod, pressed it down and played it, and there was a rustle, and then there was a sound.

Li Yiming had already gently pinched the pages of the book and turned them to the position synchronized with the tape, and this elementary textbook was taught from phonetic transcription.

In fact, he started learning last year, but it seems that the English teacher's own level is very poor, and although the teacher used a three-purpose machine to play the phonetic transcription for everyone, but only two classes were played, and the tape was broken.

And at that time, Li Yiming didn't have these books in his head, and his ears were not so smart.

He now wondered what the correct pronunciation of those phonetic transcriptions was.

Li Jianguo didn't know what his son's intentions were, so he just looked at these things on the shelves in silence, they were all so expensive and sold to foreigners.

Li Yiming slowly turned the pages of the book, and relied on his ears that didn't know when he became particularly smart.

All languages have the most basic rules, listening, speaking, reading and writing, you must memorize, and the most important thing is to be able to listen, and only if you can understand can you not be fooled.

Those words, go back and buy a dictionary to memorize.

It's just this thing, it's expensive to die, so he won't buy it, anyway, he'll remember it after listening to it, and it's a waste to buy it, just like those novels in the future, just look at the free chapters in the front, and the back are all routines that you can imagine for yourself.

When Liu Guoping came over, Li Yiming was returning the book to the salesman.

"Or?"

"No, it's all learned. Li Yiming shook his head.

Li Jianguo smiled faintly, and casually threw another Chinese on the counter.

My son probably doesn't want to buy it here, that is, he is going to Xiangjiang to buy it, Li Jianguo thought about it, and it wasn't bad for a few days.

"Lao Wu should be about the same. Liu Guoping looked at his watch and led the two of them towards the door.

"Hey, do you want to put this luggage in the room?"

"Forget it, it's just these two, it's not heavy. ”

"Yiming, you were going to buy a cassette tape just now!"

"I wanted to buy it, but I didn't buy it after listening to it once. ”

"It's too expensive. Liu Guoping looked back at the counter, and the three cassette tapes were higher than a month's salary.

Li Jianguo looked at his son, and Li Yiming nodded: "It's all written down." ”

Li Jianguo grinned, his son can really save money, he will really live!
