Chapter 9: G nib

"Wait a minute!" Seeing Limu packing his schoolbag and "eloping" with Lu Wei, the labor commissioner chased him into the corridor, and couldn't help but ask him in a voice that everyone around him could hear: "Have you forgotten that you are worth it today?" ”

What is it worth? As if he didn't know, Riki tilted his head slightly in confusion and winked innocently.

"You're a student today!" Lao Huifang further reminded.

Worth living?! For a moment, there seemed to be a look of surprise on Riki's face, but it disappeared immediately.

He almost forgot that there was still this scum in primary and secondary schools. In order to integrate "labor education" into the routine, the school asks students to clean the classrooms and corridors by themselves every day. There are four students in each group of the fourth class in Year 2, who are mainly responsible for setting up the desks, sweeping the classrooms and cleaning the corridors, and on Fridays there is an additional task of cleaning the windows.

"I, I'll go first." Lu Wei said when she saw that he was left behind.

"Can't you just wait?" Riki thought she was still angry.

"Can't!" Lu Wei said with her hands on her waist.

"--Yes." In the stubborn thinking of Limu's later generations, it was dangerous to let elementary school students go home alone, so he couldn't help but urge: "Then hurry up and catch up with Hongjing and Jianming, go quickly, you must go back with them!" ”

"I don't need you to say I'll do the same!"

At the junction between the basketball court and the soccer field, there were a few students who went home together, and it was a few students who still remembered their faces and names, and they were basically students who walked the same way home. Liu Hongjing, Liang Jianming, Ma Yingshao...... The gang probably had already agreed to leave Limu and Lu Wei to slip away early.

After seeing the sister-in-law disappear into the corridor, Limu obediently went back to sweep the floor.

sweep the floor and beat the soy sauce; Sweep the floor and beat the soy sauce......

With the turtle efficiency of elementary school students, it took four students half an hour to clean up. Of course, Riki herself is in a paddling state. Elementary school sweeping is not about how clean the students are, but how long they have been sweeping. If you finish sweeping too early, the teacher will say that you are not serious, so the students still work according to the standard time.

After sweeping the floor, when Limu came to the school gate with his schoolbag on his back, walked a long curve, and came to the vicinity of the intersection of the tenth middle school. Unexpectedly, Lu Wei hid on the stairs on the third floor just now, and only after he left did he turn back to the iron door of flowers on the first floor, and jumped into the flower plantation with the skills of a boy who was not inferior to that of a boy.

…… That picture book, in fact, Lu Wei cares a lot.

(When he finds it, he sneaks it back into his desk.) She made up her mind.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he jumped off the door, he was hiding behind a clump of Xiang Yuekui, and the fierce old gardener found out.

"That student, what are you doing?"

The bonsai carefully cultivated by the gardener is often stolen, and although it is not worth a few dollars, some students directly pick the flowers and trample on the unflowered plants is something he cannot bear. And now in his eyes, Lu Wei is such a little girl who wants to steal flowers.

"Ah...... That one...... I ......"

"Come here! Let me see your school badge! ”

"Huh? I...... I'll go out. Lu Wei was at a loss for what to do, and answered perfunctorily, trying to get away with it.

"Don't climb, if you want to go out, you should go out through the other door, this door is not open, and if you climb the door again, it will be broken."

"Oh oh......" Lu Wei saw that the gardener didn't mean to catch herself, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief,

"Don't come back in the future, you know!"

"Got itβ€”"

Lu Wei walked past the long flowers, and did not forget to straighten her head along the way, looking east and west, intending to find the picture book along the way. A little further on was the key search area, which was just below the fourth class of the second year, and she couldn't help but hold her breath and walk there.

"Hey!" The old gardener suddenly looked at Lu Wei and startled Lu Wei, but unexpectedly, the gardener actually asked with some certainty: "You are Limu, right?" ”

"Huh?"

Lu Wei was surprised why the old gardener knew about Limu, and was so sure that she was Limu, but she soon knew why.

I saw the old gardener take out a picture book from an empty flower pot to be planted, turn a page and look at it, then nodded and handed it to Lu Wei, and said with satisfaction: "The self-portrait is good, it is painted very carefully, exactly like a real person." ”

"Ahhh......h That's it," Lu Wei said, closing her mouth.

She took the picture book from the gardener's hand, looked away in a panic, and couldn't help but exhale "hah". Ah......hh

……

The words are divided into two ends.

Near No. 10 Middle School, inside a large stationery store on the side of the road.

This is the third stationery store that Riki has walked into. Two female clerks in overalls were chatting behind the counter, and when they saw the pear walking and the child came in, she smiled and asked, "Welcome, what do you want to buy?" ”

"Do you have 100g~200g of manuscript paper here?" The first sentence stopped the clerk.

The two clerks were both new employees who came to work, and they might know if they had A4 or B4 paper, but when they asked about 100g to 200g manuscript paper, they were really stunned for a moment.

"What kind of paper is 100g~200g?" The clerk simply asked.

Riki shook his head, he didn't expect much, and was ready to check it out in the store himself. This store is already the largest stationery store in the neighborhood, and there is no longer an intersection of elementary, middle, and high schools in this area, and there is no longer a bigger stationery store here. If she can't find a manuscript paper that she can use to submit her manuscript, Riki has no choice but to take a bus to a specialty store near the art school.

It's no wonder that the things in these stationery stores are scarce, after all, it was 1998, and some products have not been taken seriously by the store, and the situation of being out of stock is purely normal. Riki plans to find it in the store by himself, and the thickness of the paper is generally marked on the packaging, and there will be a small print indicating how many g.

Just as he walked towards the place where the paper was placed.

A woman in uniform, who was obviously older than the two counter clerks, walked over.

"What is he going to buy?" The professional woman asked.

Riki noticed the nameplate hanging on her chest - the store manager. Obviously, this woman's surname is the same as his previous position, except that Riki is the manager of the honey shop, and she is the manager in charge of the stationery store.

"Do you have comic manuscript paper here?" Without waiting for the two clerks to answer, Riki accosted her directly.

For the two clerks who got carried away chatting and chatted, and obviously had a lot of time to familiarize themselves with the products in the store, but they couldn't even understand how many Gs, Riki didn't plan to talk nonsense with them. But the manager's words are a different matter, when I was the manager of the honey shop, Limu could even help people do apitherapy. As the head of a store, you don't need to have a lot of knowledge, but you need to know everything, and the most basic thing is to know all the products in the store.

"Yes, what brand do you want?" This professional woman's surname is the same, and she doesn't particularly treat Riki as a child, but as an ordinary customer.

"It's better to be a master brand, and everything else is fine, as long as it's sold." Riki said.

"Okay, please follow me, this area sells comic manuscript paper, the thickness increases from bottom to top, and there are also different specifications of mesh paper, 240mm*175mm to 480mm*350mm, our store does not bargain, but a purchase of goods totaling more than 150 yuan can get a membership card." The stationery store manager explained next to a row of paper shelves.

Hearing her introduction, Limu nodded with satisfaction, the product introduction was in place, and the service attitude was good. It seems that the store manager is much younger than himself at the time, but the stationery store is not as profitable as the chain monopoly honey shop.

Looking at the price, good guy [Giant Comics Submission Paper 135g, 30p, 30 yuan] A piece of paper costs 1 yuan! It costs 30 yuan to buy this stack, do elementary school students have so much money? Other elementary school students may not.

But Riki is still a master among elementary school students at the moment, and I remember spending 50 yuan to buy a rare card of Mewtwo, and I didn't blink my eyes. It's not that Rimu has a lot of New Year's money, but in fact, most of the New Year's money he got was handed over to his mother and then deposited in the bank. Aside from tuition and interest classes, his mother didn't spend money on him at all.

The reason why he was able to get a "large sum" was purely because Riki did not eat snacks indiscriminately under the guidance of his mother, which saved expenses compared to his classmates who ate snacks in the morning and evening. In addition, the gambler's father always gave out pocket money without hesitation when he came back with a win, and the father always won once or twice a week.

What's more, every time his father gave him pocket money, he warned him never to give it to his mother......

-- 685 yuan of activity funds.

Pocket money is not controlled by his mother, and Riki is also a little rich among elementary school students, so he naturally doesn't care about buying painting tools, not to mention that he wants to use these manuscript papers to contribute and make money, of course, he has to buy the best.

He didn't want to draw a line drawing that didn't look like it, send it out, and then get it back. If there is a decent publishing house in Nanhua, it is better to say that you can go to the office and talk to the editor at any time. However, there are no decent comic publishing houses in Nanhua City or even in the mainland, and the comic business in the inland is not in the mood at this time.

If you want to invest in Hong Kong, Macao, and other publishing houses, this is a matter of atmosphere and national conditions. Although he also thought about changing the fortunes of comics in the hinterland, he did not have the capital to create a publishing house for the time being. The biggest reason is the approval of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and other cheating fathers, but I don't see that "Detective Conan" of the Primary School Museum was actually criticized as yellow. Is the color animation forbidden to play?

As a last resort, you can only throw it far away.

Most of the money is forced by the state.

Riki said happily to the store manager: "I want this 135g one, four copies, and some other things, please take me to see it, I hope to buy the tools I need in the same store." ”

"Okay, I'm happy to accompany you." The store manager felt that he had met a schoolboy with a large amount of money.

"You don't need to look at the pencil, the Chinese brand, 10black to 6hard, give me two for all types."

It's a lot of money, but it's also a waste, and the manager thought quite seriously.

"Take me to see the dip pen, I'm going to pick out some good nibs, well, and ink."

Watching the Limu children carefully choose, maybe - he is an expert?

"Rulers, cloud rulers, triangular rulers, compasses, handmade knives...... I think they're all in the same area, take me to see them, I don't want to buy a shapeshifter. ”

Maybe - he didn't want to buy it, he just made fun of me? How likely is it that a child has so much money?

"Finally, go back and look at the dot paper and the regular A4 paper."

Usually the biggest deal is only a hundred dollars, but in the end he paid!

A total of 675 yuan, perfect pressing!

Throwing the smaller tools into his schoolbag and holding a stack of manuscript paper and dot paper, Limu, who had planned to call Lu Wei to help, was a little worried. Thinking that it was not far from home anyway, he tried to ask the store manager to ride a bicycle to give him a ride, but he knew that the store manager was very busy when he said he was busy at this job, and he was also idle when he said he was free......

After giving away the membership card and discounting it, the cost changed from 675 yuan to 641.25 yuan. The beautiful store manager agreed to send Limu home, she was aroused by Limu's curiosity, and wanted to know more about this little customer, who is the painting paper for? Where to stay? Why is it so neat?
