Lin Zichen continued: "I don't like lazy and talkative people, everyone says that this convenience store belongs to Aunt Li, and I hope you don't tell me about my deposits, and when others ask, you just say that I am Aunt Li's relative." ”

"Yes." Aunt Chen kept it in mind.

Lin Zichen bowed: "In addition to working hard, I also want you to remember the phrase 'customer is God', anyone who comes into the store to buy things, whether it is a person in a suit or a person in ragged clothes, as long as they are here to buy something, they must be treated equally, can you do it?" ”

"I'll do my best." Aunt Chen lowered her head and didn't dare to say too much.

"Okay, then you go back first, just come here at half past eight tomorrow morning, Aunt Li has the key, she will tell you what to do."

Aunt Chen nodded and followed Li Xin to the bookstore.

Lin Zichen breathed a sigh of relief, it was none of her business for the time being.

The matter of the convenience store was solved, and Lin Zichen was once again his obedient student.

By the end of the final exam, Aunt Chen had already become a clerk in a convenience store, and she was becoming more and more comfortable with the work of the convenience store.

Under the construction of everyone, Lin Zichen made a torii for the bookstore and hung it on the door. And the four words of Xingchen Bookstore were still written by Gu Mingze, which made Gu Mingze happy for a while.

The winter holidays are coming, and bookstores are ushering in a book-buying boom.

After many students knew that Xingchen Bookstore had test questions that matched the texts, they rushed to buy them, but Lin Zichen still specially asked Jiang Rong to greet the people from the county education bureau, and replenished the supply in time to avoid the situation that customers could not buy books.

The first batch of goods was sold smoothly, and the county government also received a lot of income, and the second batch of books was delivered much faster.

And when the winter vacation came, Lin Zichen's second plan for the bookstore also began to be implemented, that is, to borrow books.

The borrowed books are semi-used books purchased by Lin Zichen, and customers who want to borrow books first spend ten yuan in the bookstore to get a library card, each library card can borrow three books at a time, during the borrowing period, each book will incur a dime a day, and how many days of borrowing will be how much the borrowing fee will be given.

When applying for a library card, the customer needs to provide a small photo to the bookstore, so that the customer's lost library card can be checked when someone finds it and takes it to borrow a book, so in principle, a library card can be used by one person.

If a customer loses his or her library card, he or she can come to the bookstore to cancel the original card, and the bookstore will give the customer a new card.

Due to technical issues, all library cards are still made of paper. However, Lin Zichen believes that magnetic card library cards will definitely appear in the future.

During the long vacation, many students in the county came to the bookstore to borrow books, and sometimes they would come to the bookstore to read books, and the tables and chairs prepared by Lin Zichen came in handy.

When you are tired of reading and hungry, you can go to the convenience store to buy some food and drink and continue reading, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.

As for convenience stores, Lin Zichen also made some timely sales methods, that is, selling heated instant bread and drinks. This timely service also makes customers who come to the bookstore feel very intimate, and the turnover of the convenience store has also increased a lot.

Li Ji and Gu Mingxuan still need to stay in school for a week after the exam, but Lin Zichen can't wait, after the exam, he returned to the convenience store to explain a few words to Li Xin, then packed up his things and hurried home.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm back!" Lin Zichen carried his bags and shouted happily.

Lin Zixi in the house heard the sound, hurriedly threw down the pen in his hand, and ran outside the door to greet Lin Zichen.

"Sister, you're back, I'll help you get something." Lin Zixi took the backpack on Lin Zichen's shoulder.

As her younger brother entered the house, Liang Xiaomei had already brought a bowl of hot chicken soup to Lin Zichen: "I'm sure you'll be back today, your grandmother stewed the chicken soup early in the morning, drink it while it's hot to warm up." ”

"Thank you, auntie." Lin Zichen took the chicken soup and drank it in a big gulp.

"Slow down, don't choke." Ye Xiaoyu on the side reminded softly.

After drinking the chicken soup, Li Weiyan reached out in time to take away the bowl in Lin Zichen's hand, and the feeling of being surrounded by his family made Lin Zichen almost cry.

"Grandma, I miss you to death." Lin Zichen stepped forward and hugged Li Yuedi.

Li Yuedi has become accustomed to her granddaughter having to stage such a loving hug once a month, and patted Lin Zichen's back with a smile and said, "Grandma misses you too." How is your fourth brother at school? Did anything bad happen? ”

When Lin Zichen heard this, he frowned and said, "Fourth brother, I've learned badly." ”

"Ah, really? Stinky boy, see him come back and don't skin him. Liang Xiaomei said angrily.

Lin Zichen sneered, and hurriedly defended Li Ji: "Auntie, you still don't want it, I'll tease you, the fourth brother is good at school, and he won the third place in the class in the latest mock exam." ”

When Li Yuedi heard this, she said with a smile: "Really? Then when he comes back, he will also make up for it, which should be a reward. ”

Liang Xiaomei was a little skeptical, pulled Lin Zichen and asked, "Xiaochen, you tell the truth to your eldest aunt, your fourth brother really didn't learn badly?" ”

Lin Zichen nodded reassuringly: "Auntie, the fourth brother really hasn't studied badly, he has been serious recently, and he does the exercises late every night." ”

Liang Xiaomei nodded reassuringly, and then looked at Lin Zichen vigilantly, with a scrutinizing gaze in her eyes: "How do you know that he does his exercises late every night, and my aunt can remember that the two of you are separated by a distance from each other." ”

Lin Zichen sighed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "This, I listened to Brother Ming Xuan, you don't believe what I said, Brother Ming Xuan should believe it." ”

"Is it really Ming Xuan suing you?" Liang Xiaomei looked at Lin Zichen's eyes fixedly.

Lin Zichen said intently: "I swear, it's really Brother Mingxuan who sued me." ”

Seeing this, Li Weiyan rescued Lin Zichen from Liang Xiaomei's clutches: "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I'll find out that you're lying, and see if I don't beat you." ”

Lin Zichen shrunk his neck, saying that he was not lying, although he didn't listen to Gu Mingxuan, but this was what she saw with her own eyes, and it was more convincing, wasn't it? It's a pity that I can't let my family know about the house.

After being nagged by his family for a while, Lin Zichen's ears were cleared.

took his backpack from Lin Zixi's hand, and Lin Zichen took out things in the same way.

"This is the apple and banana I bought, Grandma, you can taste it. And this one is to buy a Xiaoxi, give, it's all books. ”

Lin Zichen stuffed ten books into Lin Zixi's arms at one time.

Li Yuedi looked at the bags of particularly large apples on the table, and asked worriedly, "Where did you get so much money to buy these things?" It won't be saved by frugality. ”

Lin Zichen smiled and said, "This apple was bought from a fruit stall of a fellow scholar, and she specially gave me a few yuan cheaper. I also borrowed a classmate's book card and bought it at a discounted price. ”

"Then you can't blindly save money to buy these for us, you study so hard, buy yourself more delicious food." Li Yuedi looked at Lin Zichen distressedly and said.

Lin Zichen's heart warmed, and said: "Grandma, since the pocket money is for me, then how to spend it is up to me, I can buy delicious food for you, and I want to buy books for Xiaoxi, so this is a piece of my heart, you must accept it." ”

In the end, Li Bangguo spoke: "Since Xiao Chen specially bought it, let's take it to the kitchen and wash it and eat it." ”

Ye Xiaoyu went to the kitchen with a bag of apples. And Lin Zixi was already holding the book that Lin Zichen brought back and reading it with relish.

"Xiaoxi, stop reading the book and eat an apple." Li Weiyan handed a piece of apple to Lin Zixi.

Lin Zixi took the apple, and his eyes still didn't leave the book. The others who watched shook their heads, but their eyes were full of relief.

The apples that Lin Zichen brought back were specially taken out of the space, so they were very large, and one could be divided into several people to eat.

Li Yuedi and the others kept marveling at how delicious the apples Lin Zichen bought, and Lin Zichen took the books in Lin Zixi's hand and said, "These books are for you to relieve your boredom during the winter vacation, keep them well and don't break them, and after reading them, my sister will borrow something else for you." ”

"These books are borrowed?" Lin Zixi finally raised his head, with a little doubt in his eyes.

'What? Can't you? Lin Zichen asked rhetorically, his tone was a little unkind, as if Lin Zixi said no, she was about to turn her face and deny people.

Lin Zixi hurriedly shook his head, and Lin Zichen smiled with satisfaction.

"Hmm. Those that are brand new are bought, and these half-new and old ones are borrowed. Lin Zichen explained while eating apples: "A new bookstore has opened in the county seat, which not only sells books, but also borrows many half-used books, and these books I brought back are borrowed." ”

"It's so good, you can borrow it without giving money." Li Weiyan exclaimed.

Lin Zichen shook his head: "Of course not, it costs a dime a day to borrow a book, and there are more than ten books here, and it will cost dozens of yuan to borrow books during a winter vacation." ”

"Well, I thought I didn't need money." Li Weiyan sighed.

Of course, our family doesn't need money, Lin Zichen thought in his heart, but he couldn't say this: "It's cost-effective to read a dozen books for dozens of dollars, after all, there are some books that you won't read the second time after reading them for the first time." ”

The rest of the Li family didn't understand this, and they were willing to spend dozens of yuan to read more than a dozen books to Lin Zixi.

Lin Zichen asked Lin Zixi to put the book back in the room, and then pulled Lin Zixi to see the grape seedlings and banana trees planted in the backyard.

"Wow, it's growing so fast!" Lin Zichen stepped forward in surprise and looked at the sapling, which was already half a person tall.

Lin Zixi explained indifferently: "Grandma knew that the grape seeds and banana seeds had sprouted, and she specially came to apply fertilizer two or three times. ”

"They all know it?"

Lin Zixi nodded, "Yes." ”

"Well, I want to surprise them." Lin Zichen complained weakly.

Lin Zixi rolled her eyes rarely: "I only go home once a week, Grandma and they come to the backyard every day, and it's strange that they can't find it." ”

"Forget it, I didn't want to keep them from finding out anyway." Lin Zichen comforted himself.

Lin Zixi was disdainful again. R1152
