After the wheat harvest at home in June, Su Weinian went to the county seat to prepare for the bookstore.

The store is located on the opposite side of a small diagonal area in the county, and it is a store of nearly 90 square meters.

The house is an old-fashioned building with blue bricks and gray tiles, and the lime on the walls is peeling off and looks very old, and it looks very old and dilapidated.

However, because there are three schools nearby and the location is good, the rental price will not be low, except for water and electricity bills, etc., you need 60 yuan per month for rent.

Su Weinian was determined to start a business in the sea, gritted his teeth and signed a six-year housing lease contract with the owner, with the right of first refusal to renew the contract after six years, and prepaid the entire lease fee for the first year.

The house has been settled, and the next step is the decoration of the store.

He made a self-made door plaque, on which were written the words "Sanwei Study", the calligraphy is vigorous and vigorous, and he is very skillful, and framed this door plaque as the name of the bookstore.

He bought cement, lime, sand, etc., and moved all the masons tools such as hammers, putty knives, trowels, and bricklaying knives at home.

Su Qingzhi borrowed Su Wenwan's bicycle and came over to help during the lunch break at noon every day.

"Dad, why don't you hire a small worker. ”

He brought a bucket of lime plaster to Su Weinian, although the old building was warm in winter and cool in summer, it still made him sweat profusely because the temperature was too high.

Su Weinian carried a trowel in his right hand and plastered the plaster wall horizontally and vertically, looking as smooth as the surface of water.

He wiped his sweat with the wet towel around his neck and said, "You hurry back to school, don't run back and forth if you have nothing to do, and ...... delay your studies."

After speaking, he sighed: "The county is not as good as the countryside, and it costs seven or eight yuan a day to hire a small worker, and now it costs money everywhere, so save a little if you can." ”

It is not so easy to do business, take opening a bookstore as an example, handle business licenses, house rentals, decoration materials, electricity and water, furniture reservations......

These items alone cost more than 1,000 yuan, and now the bookstore does not even have a prototype, and the expenses have exceeded Su Weinian's budget, so the next step is to tighten his belt to live, and save what he can.

There was still half an hour before the afternoon class, and Su Qingzhi rode back to school under the hot sun.

The heat wave on the road is one after another, like a boiler in a cave, put a raw egg on the hot ground, and it will be cooked in less than ten minutes.

Returning to her seat, Lin Shuying sniffed lightly, as sensitive as a puppy: "Why do you smell of lime?"

Su Qingzhi said "um".

Lin Shuying said again: "It's my third year of high school, and I will graduate by this time next year, so I think time flies quite quickly." ”

Su Qingzhi let out an "oh".

Lin Shuying was not happy, so she habitually twisted his leg and said angrily: "Talk to you." ”

Su Qingzhi responded listlessly: "I'll listen." ”

Lin Shuying asked, "What about my song?"

Su Qingzhi said: "It's still in the making, and it will definitely be given to you before graduation." ”

On this day, when she was jogging in the morning, Su Wenwan asked, "The Three Flavors Book House is opened by your family?"

Su Qingzhi felt that there was nothing to hide about this, and they would know sooner or later, so he nodded.

Su Wenwan listened, her eyes wandered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

……

……

After entering the third year of high school, Chu Xin completely stopped the registration of domain names.

In fact, before she stopped, domain name registration had become quite difficult, and many things she could think of were preemptively registered.

Of course, more importantly, after entering the third year of high school, the pressure of the college entrance examination has increased unprecedentedly, and the countdown calendar of the college entrance examination next to the blackboard in the classroom is decreasing every day, spurring and motivating everyone to fight the big battle is coming, and we must focus on learning.

The teachers are crazy to catch up with the progress, and regardless of whether the students can digest this cramming education method, they have only one goal, to finish all the courses before the year and meet the big review before the exam after the year.

Su Qingzhi formulated a rigorous review plan, and in addition to continuing to polish mathematics, he began to purposefully tilt his time towards several other subjects, making up for his shortcomings and strengthening his strengths.

In July, the weather is still hot.

Mosquito coils were lit in the dormitory, and the rampaging mosquitoes disappeared, but the sweltering heat still made it impossible to sleep.

He Wei spread the mat on the cement floor, then went to the bathroom to fetch a few basins of cold water, splashed the water on it, and the mat soaked in water, and finally had three points of coolness.

Several people were shirtless, wearing only a pair of underwear, lying in a row on the mat like corpses.

"Lao Su, you go to the basin again. ”

Su Qingzhi came back from reading at night, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening, but no one in the dormitory fell asleep, it was too hot.

He went to the bathroom to take a cold shower, and when he came out, he filled a basin of cold water and said, "You guys get up, I'll pour the water on it." ”

Cheng Xueyu put the word "big" on his back, and said weakly as hot as he was angry: "Get a hair, just splash it up." ”

Gao Chaoqun, He Wei, and Liu Jianguo patted their snow-white bellies "popped": "Splash it." ”

Xu Liang caught a cold, lay on the bed and sweated, and said worriedly: "Don't catch a cold." ”

Gao Chaoqun was like a gorilla, "dong dong" and patted his strong chest to demonstrate: "I wish I was sick, not bragging, buddy has been in high school for almost three years, and he hasn't been sick yet." ”

Su Qingzhi couldn't stand the urging of several people, and splashed a large basin of cold water on it, and the four of them were soaked, but they kept shouting "cool" in their mouths.

On the outrageously hot summer nights, these young people wade on the water mats every night, the only way to withstand the scorching heat, otherwise sleep is a luxury.

Su Qingzhi is afraid of heat and cold, and summer is long and difficult for him.

He used to read late into the night until he was too sleepy to open his eyes, and when he returned to the dormitory, no matter how hot it was, he lay down and fell asleep.

In August, Su's mother entered the city, because the Sanwei Book House was open and the business was surprisingly good, and Su's father couldn't be busy at all.

The dilapidated blue brick house has been repaired by Su's father, and it has become old but not broken, giving people a heavy sense of vicissitudes from the outside.

Inside the bookstore, there is a cave.

The cement wall is covered by the wallpaper of the Jiangnan water town pattern, and the vivid pattern seems to bring people to the amorous place of the small bridge and flowing water, which makes people can't help but have the urge to calm down and read with peace of mind.

The opening of Sanwei Bookstore made up for the gap that there was no private bookstore in Longyu County, which caused quite a stir.

Because of the variety of books and periodicals and the low prices, the bookstore is overcrowded every day, and auxiliary materials such as battlefield soldiers, three-foot podiums, and new concept English have become in demand, and almost every student in all grades has a book.

In addition to the students in the county town who come to buy books, students in several towns closer to the county town also frequent, and it is a large number of wholesalers.

Su Weinian rented two private houses in the old town, three miles away from the bookstore, one for rest and the other for the kitchen.

The thriving business of Sanwei Bookstore made him come up with a new idea, to pay for his son's four years of college tuition in advance, and then buy a house in the county seat.

On this day, a special guest came to the Sanwei Book House.
