After the fifteenth day of the first month, the students start school, the adults work, Li Tianxue has already talked to the principal, and this semester slowly does not need to go to school every day, as long as it is in the exam, just go to participate. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After choosing a good weather, Li Manman's bookstore opened, and Li Tianxue helped Li Manman set off a small string of firecrackers when school was out in the afternoon, which was regarded as informing everyone.

On the same day, many students came to see that in the rural areas now, there is basically no entertainment, there is no television, and even the brigade has not yet been electrified, but it is only in 85 years. Some people have a radio to listen to the news and opera, but most of the people's household appliances are only flashlights.

The price of Li Manman's books is not expensive, two cents a comic book, five cents a magazine, and five cents a day for a novel, comic books cannot be borrowed, magazines and novels can be borrowed, but a deposit of two cents is required.

The reason for this pricing is that the comic strip is for children, and at this time there are few parents who give their children pocket money, but one or two cents, there will still be children who have a heart to pick up some plastic skins and sell them to collect rags, magazines and novels are for adults, and they are not short of a dime or two of money.

The bookstore is not open all day, only from 11:30 to 1:30 p.m., from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., and all day on Sundays. In this way, Li Manman can also be liberated to do what he wants.

Li Tianxue and Peng Jingsheng, Peng Wenlin really contracted the supply and marketing cooperative, what the contract fee was, Li Manman didn't know very well, but looking at the looks of the three of them drinking overnight, it shouldn't be too high.

The three brothers discussed how to do a good job of the supply and marketing cooperatives facing collapse, you have an idea, I have an idea, they quarreled and quarreled, but they didn't come up with an idea, the three of them didn't do business, and they didn't think about doing it, just because of Jingsheng's predicament, they got things done with a hot brain.

Li Manman held the bowl, sat on the small bench and listened to them while eating dinner, feeling that their original intention was good, but the measures were really not effective, and if it went on like this, it would definitely be a loss! In fact, the territory of the supply and marketing cooperatives is still quite large, there are two rows of large tile houses before and after, there are about 20 rooms, and the supply and marketing cooperatives are basically monopolized by the supply and marketing cooperatives, but in the past two years, some capable people can also find a way to engage in some chemical fertilizers to sell, and other fabrics, food, and broken things are not as good as private, mainly because the service attitude is too poor.

"Dad, Uncle Jingsheng, every time I go to the supply and marketing cooperative, those aunts and sisters have a tense face, but it's scary, I don't dare to buy what I want to buy, people who buy things outside are enthusiastic, I like to buy things outside! You have contracted, will the attitude of those great gods to relieve boredom still be so terrible? Li Manman looked at his father and asked, pretending to be puzzled.

"Ah, indeed, the bad attitude of the employees of the supply and marketing cooperatives is a problem!" Peng Jingsheng thought for a moment and said.

"No, the black face looks like someone owes him money! There are people out there selling the same thing, why should I look at their faces! Peng Wenlin felt something, "But now the attitude of the salespeople in the county department store has improved, and the last time I went, they still smiled at me!" After saying that, he smiled sheepishly.

"Attention, the child is still here!" Li Tianxue glared at his brother. Peng Wenlin immediately sat up.

"How does a department store sell things?" Li Manman asked curiously, "I haven't been there yet!" ”

"That's right, let's go to the department store to see how people sell goods, and we have a clue when we come back!" Li Tianxue felt that his daughter was really his little lucky star.

Li Manman felt that he had said enough, took two sips, drank a bowl of porridge, stood up, sent the bowl to the kitchen, and went back to the West Room to read.

After the first month, the weather is getting warmer day by day, rape flowers are blooming, the fields are golden, all kinds of wildflowers are also competing to bloom, Li Manman every day in addition to opening a bookstore, the bookstore has earned back, Li Manman is very satisfied with the success of his first business.

Li Tianxue and Jingsheng have put the supply and marketing cooperatives on the right track, they planned each room, the first floor of a dozen large tile houses to sell food, cloth clothes, non-staple food, etc., the second floor to sell agricultural products, and the rooms were divided into stalls, contracted out, the effect is not bad, the three of them are very excited.

Lin Xiujuan contracted a stall to sell various snacks such as rice candy, and Taotao was brought to the market by her.

Li Manman is an idler, most of the time in the field, one can help the family dig pigweed, reduce the burden of the mother, and the other can enjoy the original spring scenery, find some plants to enrich her personal space. Sanlai bathed in the warm spring sun, blowing the breeze, the efficiency of reading books will be much higher, Li Manman's reading books are more miscellaneous, at most the original English text, reading English aloud in the uninhabited field, Li Manman's spoken language has played a great role.

That day, Li Manman habitually carried a basket to the bay, and saw that there seemed to be something different on the dam of the Huaihe River, so he ran over, it turned out that someone was drying clothes here, looking at the clothes, there were many patches, but they were washed cleanly, Li Manman was very puzzled, how could there be someone drying clothes on this dam? Does anyone live here?

With curiosity, Li Manman began to look for whether there was a shack, and when he walked to the water lifting station, he found that the water lifting station hut that had always been locked seemed to be inhabited.

Someone set up a simple stove at the door of the hut, and next to it was a pile of tree sticks, hay, which should be firewood. The door of the hut was locked, and Li Manman leaned down on the window and looked in, and there was a simple bed built inside, that is, stones were piled up at both ends, and a few wooden planks were touched on it, and a sheet with many patches was laid on the wooden board, and the quilt was piled up at the head of the bed, and a bowl was placed on a small table made of stones.

After Li Manman saw it, he knew that there should be a homeless person living here, and when he thought of the clothes he saw just now, it was a big gown on the right side, and he thought that this homeless person should be an old lady, and Li Manman's grandmother and grandmother wore such a big right coat.

Looking at the empty hut and the simple bed, Li Manman's heart softened, took out a few cucumbers and a few tomatoes from the space, plucked a handful of cabbage, stuffed it through the hole in the window, and decided to bring some rice noodles next time.

After doing a good job, Li Manman felt a little more relaxed, carrying a basket, and went to the bay to hunt pigweed, while beating pigweed, while reciting English.

Soon after Li Manman left, an old lady with gray hair appeared at the door of the hut with a basket, looking at the footprints at the door, the old lady frowned, there were many naughty children during this period of time, came here to make trouble, often knocked down the stove of their own branches, opened the door, put down the basket, the old lady was surprised to find that the bed was scattered with red tomatoes, and green cucumbers, and crispy cabbage. This was the first kindness she had received by living here.

Putting away the vegetables, the old lady came out of the hut and looked around, the field was empty, but she could faintly hear the voice of a girl, who seemed to be reciting something. The corners of the old lady's mouth curled, and she returned to the hut with her footsteps, washed a cucumber, and ate it.

The next day, Li Manman scooped two bowls of rice and two scoops of noodles from home, put them in plastic bags, put them under the pigweed basket, and went to the bay again, but there was still no one in the hut, Li Manman stuffed two bags from the window and stuffed a handful of small cabbage. Cucumbers and tomatoes are not seasonal vegetables after all, and Li Manman does not dare to take them out again.

After seeing that everything was firmly placed on the bed, Li Manman went briskly to the place where he hunted pigweed yesterday and dug the grass, that place was newly discovered by Li Manman, and it should be able to dig for two days.

Li Manman didn't notice that there was a gaze that followed her until she disappeared into the rape flower field taller than her height, and she didn't know that she was going through some kind of test.
