Chapter 176: The World of Books (4/5)

Bookstores are a popular place.

This bookstore, called "Aiwan Pavilion", is run by a chubby middle-aged woman.

Wu Xiaozheng still remembers that when he heard that the woman's husband worked at Xinhua Bookstore, and that his family had this old-style building at the entrance of No. 1 Middle School, he turned it into a bookstore.

The fat proprietress is very diligent.

Every morning, when the students have just finished their morning reading class, the door is already open, and the closing time lasts until 10 o'clock in the evening, when the students of the first middle and high school have finished their evening self-study and dispersed.

The reason why the fat proprietress is so diligent is entirely because of the needs of the students.

Because the students who come here rent more books than buy books, and the rent of books is calculated by the day, the rent price ranges from a few cents per day, and the price of the book, the thickness and popularity of the book, for example, the rent price of martial arts and Qiong Yao is relatively high, because there are many people who read it.

Wu Xiaozheng flipped through the bookshelves on the second floor.

Zhang Ying followed curiously, wanting to see what book this kid wanted to read, but it turned out that he went straight to martial arts at the beginning.

"I'm going to use my middle school years to watch martial arts, Qiong Yao, and what Xi Shu and Wang Shuo all look at!" Wu Xiaozheng said in a dragging voice.

Zhang Ying was stunned.

"Oh my God, are you here for school, or are you here?"

Zhang Ying didn't say a word.

This kid actually wants to see Qiong Yao!

Now he can provoke women like this, if he reads all the things he says, how many women will he have to provoke? Will women have no secrets in front of him?

Wu Xiaozheng continued to drag: "For that little course in school, I can take the first exam if I flip through the book." ”

Zhang Ying had nothing to say.

In her opinion, with the degree of evil of this kid, it is very likely that this sentence is really not bragging.

Wu Xiaozheng didn't stay in the martial arts for long.

In fact, in his previous life, he had seen most of these martial arts, but many of them were not impressive.

As a person who practices martial arts, it is impossible if Jin Daxia, Liang Daxia, Gu Daxia, and Wen Daxia don't read the books of the four martial arts masters.

There are rivers and lakes in the book, there is society in the book, and there is truth in the book.

This has always been Wu Xiaozheng's view.

Now that I have read it, the review of martial arts naturally has to be put down in the end, and there are still too many books that Wu Xiaozheng has not read.

He didn't rush to start with the romance.

Although he said that he wanted to read the romance all over, he always felt that the world constructed by the romance was too fairy tale, too beautiful, and too far from reality, so he didn't rush to start.

Then he read Wang Shuo's book.

In this era, if you want to ask what book is the most popular, Wang Shuo's book must occupy a place.

Wang Shuo is a controversial figure.

Although his books were liked by many people, he was still known as a "bad critic in the literary world", and his works were also called "ruffian literature".

But on the other hand, some people also call Wang Shuo a representative of the "New Beijing School".

But those who like his books don't care about these comments, in their opinion, Wang Shuo's books are fresh and catchy, the characters are vivid, and there is a special "poor" flavor, which is very close to life.

Therefore, among students, Wang Shuo's book is very popular.

Here, Wu Xiaozheng saw a series of Wang Shuo's books, such as "Half of the Flame and Half of the Sea", "No Seriousness at All", "Playing is the Heartbeat", "Don't Treat Me as a Human", "Never Lose My Love", "I Am Your Father", "Animal Fierce" and so on.

Wu Xiaozheng remembers that many of these books have been adapted into film and television dramas.

These books are a must-read!

However, Wu Xiaozheng still didn't start easily, and he continued to look forward.

Then he saw Lu Yao's "Ordinary World", which was the winning work of Mao Dun in 1991 and a book that received rave reviews many years later.

In his previous life, Wu Xiaozheng had tried to see it. But at that time, he was either busy with business, or he was forced by Zhong Xiaolan to take care of the children, and he really didn't look into it.

It's also a pity.

That's it!

This is a book worth perusing.

When you start reading books again in this life, you naturally have to pick a book with a little connotation to read first.

Zhang Ying saw that he chose this set of books, and she was a little relieved, she really didn't want him to read too much romance.

Wu Xiaozheng flipped up.

This set of "Ordinary World", a total of three parts, is the 88 and 89 editions of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Publishing Company, and it is still hardcover.

He looked at the price again, the first and second parts were 4.95 yuan, the third part was 8.85 yuan, and the full set added up to less than 20 yuan.

If you rent a book, it's better to buy it!

If you rent it, you may not be able to finish it in three or five days. Moreover, this kind of book is still worth collecting!

So he simply went downstairs with the book in his arms.

The fat proprietress was guarding the door on the first floor and was responsible for the charges, and she also invited a little sister upstairs to take care of her.

"Boss, is this set of books sold?"

"Yes. ”

The proprietress stood up directly and went to get the book for Wu Xiaozheng.

Since his husband works in Xinhua Bookstore, it is natural that what books are good to sell, and there is naturally no shortage of such bestsellers.

The proprietress took more than just this set of books.

"There is also a copy of Hoda's "The Funeral of a Muslim", which was also the winning work of last year's Mao Dun Literature Award, do you want it?"

The fat lady is really good at business!

It seems that there is a way to do any line of work, at least this fat proprietress can find out the selling point of the winning works of the Mao Dun Literature Award from the book "Ordinary World", and recommend another book.

Just for her, Wu Xiaozheng also had to buy it.

Wu Xiaozheng has also heard of this book, and it is said to be a very controversial book.

Those who approve of it say that this book writes the true meaning and cruelty of love, and those who don't like it say that it has three wrong views......

Anyway, compared with the praise of "Ordinary World", this book has mixed reviews.

However, in Wu Xiaozheng's view, reading books should be read with a critical eye, accept the good ones, and abandon the bad ones, and seeking common ground while reserving differences is the correct way to read books.

So he plans to read this book well.

Since he can win the award, he naturally has the value of winning the award, and Wu Xiaozheng will not affect him to read this book because of the bad reviews of later generations.

He picked it up and saw that it was the 91st edition of the Beijing October Literature and Art Publishing House, and it was also a hardcover edition.

The price is expensive, 14.9 yuan for a copy, because the book is 750 pages thick.

After paying, Wu Xiaozheng and Zhang Ying went out again.

He can only stay with Zhang Ying for a while tonight.

"Do you really like reading so much?"

"Well, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is also a golden house in the book. ”

A very classic sentence borrowed by Wu Xiaozheng aroused Zhang Ying's thinking.

This kid understands the world so well and understands people's hearts, could it be that he learned it from books?

Zhang Ying also became interested in these books in Wu Xiaozheng's hand.
