Lin Yi saw Li Weimin, and Li Weimin also saw him, just because of a silk scarf, he was fighting with his wife. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so he was very embarrassed when he saw Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took the initiative to greet him, "Principal Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

Li Weimin smiled embarrassedly and said, "Yes, it's quite a coincidence." Then he saw the begonia next to Lin Yi, "This is ...... Your girlfriend, she's beautiful. ”

Lin Yi introduced Begonia to their husband and wife. Li Weimin's wife Wang Caixia seemed to like Begonia very much, and felt that this girl was not only beautiful, but also very polite, so she smiled and said to Lin Yi: "Lin Yi, you are blessed, you have to be kind to others in the future, such a good girl is difficult to find with a lantern." ”

Lin Yi just smirked when he heard it.

Here Haitang and Wang Caixia are talking and laughing, talking about some women's topics. Especially when Wang Caixia knew that Begonia was from Hong Kong, she had a lot of topics, and asked if there was Chow Yun-fat in Hong Kong, saying that she liked his "Shanghai Tang" very much, and asked Wan Ziliang if he was still acting, and he liked his "Rogue Tycoon" very much......

Over there, Lin Yi and Li Weimin also chatted.

First of all, Li Weimin said to Lin Yi: "Lin Yi, in short, I want to thank you, now that the construction of the school has been completed, it is all your help--- if you have time, you can go back and have a look." ”

"Of course, I'm actually quite curious about what the school is like now." Lin Yi said with a smile.

As soon as he talked about the school, Li Weimin was no longer so reserved, he opened the topic, his face was red like a child, and he talked with great interest, saying how good the school is now, how many classrooms there are, how many new desks, new chairs, and saying that the children can't sleep when they are happy, and he can't sleep as the principal.

Although Lin Yi couldn't understand Li Weimin's happy mood too much, he felt his love for the school and the students.

An old principal who has dedicated most of his life to education, he may not be rich, but he is definitely worthy of respect.

But what makes Lin Yi curious is that Li Weimin has been working at school all the time, and he is a well-known workaholic, how could he suddenly appear here?

As if to solve Lin Yi's doubts, Li Weimin said: "It's not for the school library." ”

It turned out that Lin Yi bought all the seven or eight thousand old thread-bound books in the library last time, which made the library, which had no books in the first place, seem even more empty. Now that the new library has been built, most of the remaining books are old books that have been tattered and gnawed by rats, and most of the content is related to the politics of the Cultural Revolution, such as "Rectification Movement", "Theory of Practice", "Lu Xun's Speeches", or some obscure geographical knowledge books, fitters, electricians, medicine and health books......

These books are so inscrutable that children simply can't read them. Occasionally, there are two children's picture books, which are also missing arms and legs, and when I flip through them, they fall apart.

Therefore, Li Weimin felt that he should keep pace with the times and buy some new books for children to learn and read. I squeezed out 10,000 yuan from the school funds and came here to buy books with the money.

I don't know if I don't buy it, and I'm shocked when I buy it.

Li Weimin has been the principal of the county for so long, and he has never done this kind of errand in person, he thought that 10,000 yuan was enough, I remember clearly, in the past, a book was only a few cents at most, a few dollars, but now the price of the book directly scared him silly, a thin "Grimm's Fairy Tales" costs 18 yuan, a hardcover "Journey to the West" costs 42 yuan, and a large book painted "Dinosaur Knowledge Paradise" costs 168 yuan!

Touching the 10,000 yuan in his pocket, Li Weimin felt for the first time that the money was too little and too little, and it was a miracle to be able to buy 1,000 books......

Today's astonishing increase in "book prices" has made Li Weimin, who was originally full of ambition and high spirits, thinking that he could pull a few truckloads of books back, completely dumbfounded. He never thought that the huge amount of "10,000 yuan" in his eyes would become a "fart money" that he couldn't buy a few copies in this big city.

It's not that he doesn't understand, it's that the price of the book is getting too fast.

A few cents, a few dollars of books have become dozens, even hundreds.

In a word, he can't afford it!

As a character who often rolls in the stacks of books, Lin Yi certainly knows the price of today's books, not to mention anything else, if he wants to build a small library in a school, he must have at least tens of thousands of books, and the price of these tens of thousands of books adds up to at least seventy or eighty thousand yuan.

Seven or eight yuan for a book is already the lowest price after the discount of new books, of course, the new books mentioned here are all genuine books, with clear pictures and words, excluding those pirated books that are discounted for four or five yuan.

……

"If you don't eat a trench, you won't grow a wisdom, and you need to learn at any time in life." Li Weimin smiled bitterly, "If I hadn't come here for a trip, I wouldn't have known how expensive books have become now, and the poor can't afford to buy or read books...... In my eyes, those are all furnishings, placed in Xinhua bookstores, placed on the shelves, and there are very few people who can afford them...... In a country, there are extenuating reasons for rising prices, but the price of books far exceeds the purchasing power of most people, which is unreasonable. The state also encourages us to read more and study more, and we can't even afford to buy books. ”

It was not the first time that Lin Yi had been in contact with Li Weimin, and he knew that this seemingly elegant old principal would explode as long as he complained or was dissatisfied with something. So after hearing this, he just smiled and said, "That's right, the price of books is a bit more expensive now, but the school wants to build a library, which is not very easy to complete, and you haven't found the right way......"

"What's the other way to build a library?" Li Weimin wondered.

Lin Yi said with a smile: "Like those famous schools, building a library is a popular job. Why do you say that, you can apply for the above grant, originally it only costs 50,000 or 60,000 yuan to buy books, but they add one in front of it, becoming 150,000 or 60,000 yuan, and then, contact the bookstore, get a rebate or something, back and forth, you can make a lot of money. Anyway, I don't feel sorry for taking the state's money. But on your side, it's a bit difficult to pay for your own school......"

Li Weimin smiled bitterly: "They don't even approve money for the construction of the school, and now they will approve the funds for building a library?" So I had to squeeze a little bit out of my school teeth. ”

"I understand this." Lin Yi said, "So you don't have to think about buying those new books, you can consider buying some old books that are backlogged in bookstores, or discounted books; No matter how bad it is, you can also contact some used book trading, second-hand book business, buy some cheap student books, their books are cheap, most of them are a few cents on the pound, you buy a large amount, you can also calculate the pound, even if he earns you a pound, he can't stand the total amount of thousands of pounds......"

Lin Yi's words made Li Weimin stunned, and it took a while to come back to his strength, and he chewed the words and said: "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." I didn't expect that there would be so many ingenuity in the trivial matter of buying books; It's just a pity that I don't know much about those people who run the second-hand book business, so if I have to go to them one by one, where do they get so many student books? ”

Lin Yi smiled and said, "That's not necessary. If you can trust me, Principal Li, I can help---"

"It would be great if that was the case." Li Weimin knew that although Lin Yi was young, he had great powers, and with his help, this thing would definitely be done.

"How much does it cost, just ask!" Although he said this, Li Weimin was still a little weak in his heart, now that the school has just been built, he is short of money, and it is not easy to take out 10,000 yuan, what if Lin Yishi asks for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan? After thinking about it, 20,000 or 30,000 is more than half less than 50,000 or 60,000, and since you want to do practical things for the school, you can't help but bleed, just grit your teeth and endure it.

Seeing Li Weimin's proud posture of a strong man with a broken wrist, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "Money, you don't have to pay it." ”

"Don't you need me out? What do you mean? ”

"I'll donate all these books!"

"Ah, what?" Li Weimin was taken aback and his eyes widened.

He startled the two women who were talking next to him, and looked at them in surprise, not knowing what was happening. (To be continued.) )
