Chapter 66: Buying a Norwegian Forest
One summer vacation, less than two months.
There are only a few days left, especially Nie Hui is going to Hangzhou in the next few days, because he still has to conduct military training.
As early as 1985, the Ministry of Education, the General Staff Department, and other departments jointly issued the "Circular on Issues Concerning the Pilot Conduct of Military Training in Institutions of Higher Education and Senior High Schools."
The most basic purpose of military training is to temper the body and carry forward the strong perseverance and collectivist spirit of hard work.
Of course, it is also to cultivate students' organizational discipline and develop a good style of study and life.
After all, if you have a good habit, it can have a positive impact on your entire life in the future.
Military training can also stimulate patriotic fervor.
Before leaving, Nie Hui planned to take Li Ye around, although it was impossible to go from morning to dinner every day.
After all, before dinner, Li Ye must be going home.
The two got into the car and found that there was only one seat in the car.
"You sit down!" Nie Hui smiled slightly, paid the money, and pulled Li Ye to sit down.
This kind of car has only 19 seats, including the driver, with a double seat on one side and a single person on the door side.
Li Ye sat down and looked out the window and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Why don't you go to the sandbank?"
"So far?"
In the days to come, the three county-level cities of Kunshan, Jiangying and Shazhou in Jiangnan Province will occupy the top three of the top 100 county economies all year round, and no one can shake it.
"It's time to get there for lunch, and then let's go to Sandbank Park. ”
The car was driving in the direction of Jiangying, and after a while, it was necessary to change cars.
There are many buses between Shazhou and Jiangying, including medium buses and buses.
Buses are cheap, but the intervals are long. The bus is a little more expensive, but almost all the drivers know Nie Hui.
The reason is very simple, for three years of high school, the first and second years of high school go home every week, and the flower market borders the sandbar, and the homes of three of the drivers are not far in front of Nie Hui's house. Even Nie Hui helped them play the role of a conductor and collected fares many times.
Sure enough, this time it was familiar again.
"Yo, why do you get in the car here today, and bring a little girl and girlfriend?" the driver, Gao Jing, smiled while smoking.
This is the self that he is most familiar with Nie Hui, because Gao Jing's nephew is Nie Hui's junior high school classmate.
The conductor is Gao Jing's wife.
Nie Hui smiled and didn't speak, but Gao Jing's wife smiled: "Your mother knows (do your parents know)?"
"I don't know, be careful to keep it secret. ”
"Can you keep it a secret when you go home?"
"Who said I'm going home, let's go to Shazhou Pedestrian Street to play, and let us down at the pedestrian street when the time comes!"
The two of them smiled and said that there was no problem, and they didn't even charge the fare.
Although two people also need six yuan, the current cars are privately contracted, and they make a lot of money, so there is no loss to the public.
Shazhou Pedestrian Street is several years earlier than Jiangying's Pedestrian Street.
In 1994, the Shazhou Municipal Government planned ahead of time and transformed Shazhou Middle Road into a pedestrian street, becoming the first high-level pedestrian street in county-level cities in the country. The total length of the street is 680 meters, the width of the street is 24 meters, and there are 25 commercial buildings on both sides of the street, which is also the prototype of the development of modern commercial pedestrian blocks.
For the current county-level cities, the pedestrian street is undoubtedly a beautiful scenery.
The two of them ate something casually, because there was really nothing to eat on the pedestrian street at this time.
After eating, he took a leisurely stroll.
"You want to buy books?" Nie Hui was a little surprised, and the hand he was holding actually walked to the side.
Xinhua Bookstore, now many people still come to buy books, unlike more than ten years later, when people mainly read books.
"My classmates said there was a book that was very good, and I wanted to buy one!"
Nie Hui didn't know what Li Ye was going to buy, thinking it was an ordinary romance novel, but in the end he saw the cover "Norwegian Forest" that he felt familiar.
This is a novel published by Haruki Murakami in 1987 and translated by different translators in the country. The most famous should be in 1989, the version translated by Mr. Lin Shaohua, at this time there were not many domestic book fans of Haruki Murakami.
Later, at the sharing meeting for the 30th anniversary of the publication of "Norwegian Wood", Mr. Lin Shaohua also told the story of the first translation of "Norwegian Wood", when he was studying at RB: "At that time, every time I went to the bookstore, I saw 'one red, one green', the upper volume was bright red, and the lower volume was thief green. At that time, almost no one did not look at it. I was probably the only one who would become the translator of this book. ”
Even when Mr. Lin Shaohua first started translating, his understanding of Haruki Murakami was blank.
But fate is like this, you never know what will happen in the next second.
Just like Nie Hui is holding Li Ye's hand now, he feels so amazing, so satisfied, and even a little ...... Proud and shy!
"Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood, what do you look at now?"
"You know that, too?"
"Watanabe, Naoko and Midoriko, of course I've seen it!"
Nie Hui not only read it, but after reading "Norwegian Wood", he successively bought all of Haruki Murakami's books, and they were all translated by Lin Shaohua.
Not now, of course, but in the future!
Because of the influence of the times, it is not yet popular in China.
When it is published in 2001 by the Modu Translation Publishing House, high school students and college students at that time will like it more.
Li Ye was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Nie Hui to read this book, and couldn't help but flash a sly gaze and ask, "Naoko and Midoriko, who do you like?"
"I like you!"
"It's here again!" Obviously very happy in his heart, Li Ye still let go of Nie Hui's hand, picked up the book and flipped through it.
"Okay, buy it if you like it. ”
"It's expensive. ”
Nie Hui took Li Ye's hand: "I haven't sent anything to you yet, just this book." But it's good to watch it once, don't look at it more!"
"Why?"
"You'll know when you look at it. Nie Hui smiled, and had to admit that this was a good book, and he knew it from the sales volume. But at the same time, the loneliness, confusion, and loss in this book, and the anxiety described in it, will give people a very subtle feeling.
Although one out of six or seven people in RB bought it, Nie Hui still didn't think it was any good to look at this at Li Ye's age.
Some people also thought that the other translation was better, but Nie Hui had only read this version and had no way to comment on it.
"You can watch it now, and then you can press the bottom of the box, and when you get to college, or graduate from college, take it out and watch it again, maybe you will have a different feeling!"
The two paid, took a book, and headed for Sandbank Park.
At this time, Shazhou Park still has to charge money.
I bought two baby-faced ice creams at the door, the white part was milk-flavored ice cream, and the coffee-colored part was chocolate-flavored ice cream, and walked in.
There are a lot of people in it, and they probably come to play during the summer vacation.
Even though the weather is very hot, it can't stop people.
"I'm so tired, I'm so tired, I'm so tired...... I'm tired" There was a ghost-like voice, listening to the nondescript singing, Nie Hui knew that it was the theme song of the just-ended World Cup.
Nie Hui listened to it funny: "It's really tiring to listen to, go and see!"
