Chapter 21: The Bad Bookstore

The three good sisters talked and laughed when they arrived at Xinhua Bookstore, pushed the door in, and the store was deserted. Two clerks and cashiers were chatting together. I didn't react when I saw them enter the door, just glanced at them.

Ling Xiaoxiao and the others have already seen that this kind of person who eats a big pot of rice really can't expect them to have any initiative. Besides, in her previous life, until she was reborn, the bookstore in the county was still half-dead.

The furnishings of the junior high school area have barely changed from the last time they came, and the textbooks and tutorials are still so tall that they don't seem to sell much...... The three of them looked through the past and found that the tutoring books were still the ones they had entered at the beginning of the school year, and there were no new tutorial books coming in.

Ling Xiaoxiao was very disappointed, a good tutoring book has a very great guiding effect on them, there are few times when they can contact the teacher in the morning and evening self-study, and the third year of junior high school basically relies on self-study, and the degree of improvement depends on the efficiency of self-study.

The three of them looked at each other and walked out of the Xinhua Bookstore, and there were also some small bookstores opened by individuals next to the main street, mainly selling teaching aids and magazines and novels. Ling Xiaoxiao regrets it very much now, she should have bought more when she was in the capital before, but unfortunately the time was too tight at that time, she didn't have time to read more, so she could only buy a few copies based on feeling......

The three of them were a little disappointed when they didn't buy the book, and now they were too late to go home for dinner, so Ling Xiaoxiao took them to Ling's mother's shop. On weekdays, there are not many people buying clothes in the store, and Ling's mother and aunt were cleaning up the cashier just after eating, and they were very surprised to see Ling Xiaoxiao and them enter the door.

"Da Bao'er, why did you come here? Aren't there classes in the afternoon? Ling's mother hurriedly came over and took Ling Xiaoxiao's hand, and found that her daughter's hand was a little cold, so she quickly helped her cover it.

"We came out to buy reference books, but there were too few types of books in Xinhua Bookstore to buy suitable ones." Seeing her mother, Ling Xiaoxiao began to complain coquettishly without any burden.

"Huh? Is it serious not being able to buy reference books? So what should I do? As soon as Ling's mother was told by her daughter, she immediately began to shout in shock.

"Second sister, don't just pull Xiaoxiao and say, let her two little classmates come over and sit and rest." My aunt took out two small benches from under the cash register and put them next to the heater, and beckoned Wu Qingqing and Xu Xiaoying to hurry over and sit down to warm up.

It has been a month since the clothing store opened, and Ling Xiaoxiao came here for the first time since it opened, she looked around and found that the store was a little empty: "Mom, why are the shelves empty?" ”

"It's not like it's cooling down these days, a lot of people who haven't bought winter clothes before have come out to buy clothes, and one weekend, they sold a large part of the clothes I came in before, no, it's time to buy again." There was no show off in Ling's mother's tone, she now completely felt that she was much better at working alone than working every day in the factory.

"That's it," Ling Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and looked at Ling's mother: "Mom, when are you going to buy the goods?" Is it good to take me to Ben Thanh, it is really slow to do the questions without a suitable reference book, and many questions will not be done. ”

"You're going with me?" Ling's mother looked at her daughter with some doubts: "But I'm going to take the train when I get to Bincheng, what if you go to Bincheng with me?" You didn't go back to the county bus after you bought the book. ”

"Then I'll stay for one night, just enough to go around, I want to buy more books." Ling Xiaoxiao walked over and hugged Ling's mother's arm and began to be coquettish.

Mother Ling was a little blindsided by the sugar-coated cannonball, but she still firmly pulled out her arm and moved a few steps out: "That's not good, you're only 14 years old and too young to let you go out alone." Besides, your dad wouldn't agree to it. ”

Ling Xiaoxiao's thoughts together, her heart is like a long grass, not only science tutorial books, she also wants to buy some literary books to read when she is tired, and accumulate some literary literacy, so as not to feel dry every time she writes an essay, and she feels that she can't write it if she has a stomach.

English cassette tapes and English original books should also be bought, only listening to junior high school listening for her progress has begun to limit, need a deeper listening stimulation, and for English reading comprehension also need the accumulation of reading, the best way is to read more original books. Of course, it would be best if you could buy a professional-grade radio and listen to the BBC more.

Thinking of this, she felt that the trip to Bincheng was imminent, but she was not in a hurry to persuade her mother at this time, and when she went back in the evening, Ling's father would also save some trouble together.

Xu Xiaoying and Wu Qingqing walked around Ling's mother's shop again, each aiming at their favorite style and preparing to find time to come over with their pocket money. It wasn't early, and the three of them ran to the commercial building, and after eating a bowl of wontons, they went back to school to prepare for the afternoon class.

"Xiaoxiao, do you want to find time to go to Bencheng?" Wu Qingqing asked as he walked.

"Yes, yes, Xiaoxiao, are you going to Bencheng?" Xu Xiaoying also asked curiously.

Ling Xiaoxiao nodded: "If you can't buy books in the county, you have to find more ways, if there is no unified examination, it's just that the school teachers make their own questions and take the monthly exam, and now that I see the gap with the three major schools, I naturally have to find a way to make up for it." ”

"If you go to Bencheng, help me bring a set of counseling books, my family will definitely not let me go." Wu Qingqing said a little helplessly, if she could, she would also go to Bincheng to pick up her favorite books.

"Buy it for me too," Xu Xiaoying's eyes were a little light: "You also know the situation of my family, even if my parents agree to let me go, but they can't get the round-trip travel and accommodation money, the sugar factory has not paid wages for several months, and my mother will be envious when she comes back now, saying that many people in the factory envy your mother for coming out to work alone before the production period." It's not as tiring as working in the factory, and it earns more. ”

"Actually, you can let your parents come out and do it yourself, and it's good that Xu's father will drive out to be the driver of the operating car." Ling Xiaoxiao thought for a while, the logistics industry has already flourished in the south in this era, that is, the large and medium-sized cities in the north have also developed for a period of time, and the future will only get better and better.

"How can those of them who have been in the factory all their lives listen to me, that is to say, envy your mother, if you really let them come out and work alone, no one will want to." Xu Xiaoying sighed, she still knew her parents quite well.

"Then it can't be helped." Ling Xiaoxiao knows that the change of concept is very difficult for their parents' generation, no one would have thought that the big pot of rice that has been eaten for so many years will one day have nothing to eat, but the times are like this, no matter what you want to do, it will move forward according to its own trajectory and cannot be stopped.
