Chapter 36 Flea Market
Didn't hear Zhan Yan make a sound, Su Luoxing smiled happily in Gu Xiaoxiao's ear, just like a child, if there was a camera, Gu Xiaoxiao especially wanted to take a picture of the scene in front of her.
After getting off the pirate ship, I felt that everyone was fine, and the interest was still very high, only Zhan Yan's body was a little stiff when he heard that Zhao Xiaokun wanted to play frog jumping.
In the end, only Su Luoxing and Zhao Xiaokun went to play. Gu Xiaoxiao and Zhan Yan sat on the bench and waited for them.
Zhan Yan unscrewed his water, took a sip and said, "It's really exciting." ”
Gu Xiaoxiao heard this. And then said, "Well, I don't really like to play with this kind of ride." I felt like my heart was coming out of my throat. ”
"That's right. Speaking of which, we haven't been shopping for books for a long time. Are you going tomorrow?" As soon as he talked about the book, Zhan Yan's eyes seemed to have stars shining.
"Let's go, I'm done reading all the books, and I'm trying to find some time to find them. Have you ever been to that flea market in the south of the city?" Gu Xiaoxiao was also interested.
That flea market has been around for a long time, but it didn't sell books before. Last time I heard from the old class that he found a good book there. I've got a general idea of what to say, and it's very interesting.
The old class is the head teacher of Gu Xiaoxiao's class, whose full name is Hu Jun. But everyone calls him the old class, and he is used to it. Now every time he comes to a new class, he will tell everyone to call him the old class in the future.
He is very approachable, loves to read, and also loves to smoke, and always smells of smoke on his body. He also likes to buy books in second-hand bookstores and scrap collections. Every time I buy it, I can't help but show it off.
He also said in particular that he hated borrowing books the most. Because he doesn't know when others will return them, and he also likes these books very much, he is afraid that others will like them too, and then call him to cut his love, and he may be angry to death.
It's fun every day, but it's absolutely fierce when it's time to be fierce. The children in the class who jumped more were all obedient.
To get back to the point, "I went with my uncle during the Chinese New Year, and I didn't see anyone selling books, but now I have it." In his memory, it seems to be all antiques, calligraphy and paintings. It's not expensive to sell, but it's hard to distinguish between real and fake.
His uncle liked it so much that he often went back, and occasionally he would follow along.
"yes, our homeroom teacher said it in class last time. Let's check it out tomorrow, right?" she hadn't been to the flea market yet, so it sounded interesting.
"Hmm. Zhan Yan took another sip of water, and saw Su Luoxing and the two of them getting off the frog machine from a distance, and their expressions were a little unsatisfied. What a terrible human being, "They're coming down, shall we go and look for them?"
Gu Xiaoxiao also saw them, picked up the water that was put aside, and walked over slowly. While walking, I thought that Su Luoxing and the two of them could go to bungee jumping in the future, which was super exciting.
Many people say that bungee jumping is like a new birth. But Gu Xiaoxiao is timid and has never played. Just seeing that video online was terrifying. The most feared thing is that the rope will break and fall straight down. I can't think about it! It's bloody!
"It's a pity, you don't play with us, but it's fun. Su Luoxing jumped over and began to shout from a long distance.
No, no, we deliberately didn't go. Gu Xiaoxiao handed the water in her hand to Su Luoxing and them, "Drink saliva, your mouth is dry." ”
It's going to be past nine o'clock, and I've been playing for hours. There are also fewer people, and the park closes at ten o'clock.
"Let's go, let's go back and rest early, we'll be busy tomorrow." Zhan Yan saw that they still wanted to play some exciting games, and hurriedly said. He didn't really want to play, so he might as well go home and read. But a group of people were still happy to come out.
Su Luoxing thought for a while, and said in a somewhat regretful tone, "Okay, next time, let's go back to my cousin's house first." ”
The group separated, Zhao Xiaokun went back to his home, and the three of them went back to Zhan's house.
This is the second time Gu Xiaoxiao has come to the Zhan family, and the first time she came was an accident that happened when she was a child.
She still remembered Zhan Chen, it was he who carried her and Zhao Xiaokun back. If it weren't for him, the two of them would have died.
On the way, Gu Xiaoxiao was a little sleepy. Maybe tired of playing. Su Luoxing was in a high mood, pulling the two of them to talk non-stop.
The next day, Su Luoxing and Gu Xiaoxiao were sent back together, and when Gu Xiaoxiao went home, Gu Jiaming had already gone to the store. Liu Lianhua did not rest.
I am making a new style of skirt.
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't have much to do, so she just sat by the window and took some rags to sew and mend. Made a patchwork rabbit.
At noon, Zhan Yan came to look for her.
It's not sunny or cloudy today, so it's cool.
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't wear a skirt either, she was afraid that it would be cold if she went shopping late. It was really a little cold to go to play yesterday, and I didn't follow Su Luoxing to play those anymore because the wind was blowing cold.
She deliberately wore a long-sleeved cotton body with yellow and white stripes, a pair of cropped jeans and a pair of pull-back shoes.
At that time, bell bottoms were quite popular. But she didn't like it, she couldn't tell, just like she didn't like to wear a jacket and leather pants.
She also carried a beige one-shoulder shoulder bag, with a little rabbit hanging on it, which Liu Lianhua made for her, without a zipper, and she could put things directly.
There's a lot of space, you can put four or five books, this is her biggest bag, every time I go to buy a book, I like to use this bag, I can fit it.
Although it can be very heavy, especially when only one shoulder, she feels that this heaviness will give her a sense of satisfaction.
happily said to Liu Lianhua and went out.
There is a bus to go to the flea market, and the thirteenth road is direct, and there are many people on the bus, and there are no seats. Gu Xiaoxiao and Zhan Yan are now in a corner. The crowds were all next to each other.
Gu Xiaoxiao's expression has not changed, she has had the experience of squeezing into sardines in her previous life, and she does not distinguish between men and women when squeezing buses.
She still remembers that once when she went to work, Ji Junfan wanted to send her, but she went to work later than Ji Junfan, so she didn't let her go, and took the bus by herself.
I don't know why, there were a lot of people that day, and she was only about 1.6 meters tall in her last life, not as tall as she is now.
The whole process was squeezed into the car, and then ...... His feet didn't touch the ground, and the whole person was squeezed and hung in the air.
Since then, she has been going green, commuting to work by bicycle every day. Bicycle. She didn't learn to drive. She was afraid that she would become a road killer. I never learned.
The first time she touched the car under the guidance of Ji Junfan, she hit the front of the car into a hole, and then she never touched it. She's really scary.
And now, the buses are fine, crowded with people.
Zhan Yan was a little uncomfortable, he rarely got so close to a girl, and now the whole person seemed to be hugging Gu Xiaoxiao.
You can also smell the fragrance on the top of Gu Xiaoxiao's head, which is a faint smell of gardenias.
Now Gu Xiaoxiao's household is still handmade soap, washing her hair and bathing.
Zhan Yan's eyes looked down embarrassedly and looked out the window. The tips of the ears are a little red.
Gu Xiaoxiao's mind was full of whether he would meet the old class later, and he also liked to go to the flea market, and he would go if he had nothing to do.
After getting out of the car, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't know the road for the first time, and followed behind Zhan Yan.
It was very interesting to listen to him introduce the flea market.
When his uncle saw that a plate was not an antique, he listened to the peddler blow it up and it was about to become a prehistoric artifact.
His uncle was stunned when he heard this, if he didn't really have some ability, maybe he would be fooled by this eloquent peddler.
If it weren't for the fact that this plate is so good-looking, he wouldn't have bought it. If you don't take it to eat, it has no collection value, at most you can take it to watch.
In the end, I bargained and bought it for fifteen dollars in the hawker's somewhat painful eyes. Actually, it's still not worth the price. But my uncle thinks it's okay.
It took five or six minutes to get there. The flea market is quite large, not officially built, it is a private place, and the stalls are rented.
As soon as I entered, it was not very noisy, it was all quietly selling, only the sound of conversation with customers. A small sign is placed in front of each stall.
Gu Xiaoxiao saw a calligraphy and painting seller at a glance, there was a pair of pen and ink that had not yet dried, and at first glance it was written by herself, which was very beautiful.
But Gu Xiaoxiao's purpose is only to buy books.
After walking for a while, I looked in front of each stall, and most of the stall owners saw that they were two and a half children, so they didn't say much, thinking that they wouldn't buy it. Then Gu Xiaoxiao and the others looked at it casually.
I saw the first stall selling books. It's all old books, and the stall owner is an old man in his sixties, wearing reading glasses, looking at his books. I ignored them and watched them with relish.
Gu Xiaoxiao and the others flipped through it, and then they were fascinated, Zhan Yan took a book and asked the price directly. There are some lonely books, books that Gu Xiaoxiao has never heard of in the previous life.
Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes were shining. He Zhanyan looked at several books in a row, and the old man, who was already reading a book, said without raising his head, ten yuan a book does not bargain.
The price is quite high. At that time, the price level was low, and the salary of an ordinary person might be about 500 a month. Generally, there are only three or four new books. An old book here sells for ten dollars.
So this stall is deserted, scared away by the price.
But Gu Xiaoxiao and the others thought about it for a while, and they didn't cut the price, these books were worth this price. Gu Xiaoxiao directly gave fifty, which was half a month's pocket money. She usually doesn't ask Liu Lianhua for money. Liu Lianhua took the initiative to give it to her.
And she didn't expect to use it that much.
Zhan Yan brought a lot of money, and he also gave it, so he picked five books, and the books on the stall were half empty in an instant. Originally, there were only more than twenty or thirty copies.
At this time, the stall owner put down the book, and his face was still a little reluctant. He looked up at the two children in front of him and asked, "You like to read these books, and where did you get so much money?" Have you asked adults? "The tone is a bit serious. It's like thinking that two children are spending money indiscriminately.
"Well, I like it very much, there are dozens of books in my bookcase that I have been bought, and I think "***" is a bit similar to this one. Grandpa, don't worry, they are all bought with pocket money. Gu Xiaoxiao handed over the money and flipped through the book in her hand. I especially want to see it now.
Zhan Yan and she have taken a fancy to a lot of the same books, and they can be exchanged in the future. It's fun to think about.
