Chapter 113: The Closed Bookstore
"I'll help you, I'll just tell my eldest brother to find my father", Wei Qingshan shouted at the house, "Big brother, go find your father!"
After a while, I saw the eldest son of the family, Wei Yuanshan, wearing an apron, wiping his hands and coming out.
Wei Yuanshan nodded at Cheng Yangyang, which was regarded as a greeting.
Just when Cheng Yangyang was about to finish counting, Wei Dacheng and his wife Chen were late.
"Yo, Miss Cheng is here!" Wei Dacheng stepped forward to help her load the car, but there were not a few left on the ground.
"Uncle Wei, I've been very busy lately", Cheng Yangyang joked with a smile, Wei Dacheng was a happy person, and everyone had a smile on his face.
"What's the busy, not busy!" Wei Dacheng picked up the last bottle into the car, and helped to plug it tightly with straw to prevent the bottle from colliding and breaking.
"I just went to the other side to talk a little bit, and the shop on the other side of the door is about to close, so I'll see if I can help," he explains.
"What kind of shop, is the business bad?" Cheng Yangyang asked casually.
She doesn't need a shop now, not to mention that the shops in this alley are too big and there are not many people, if it weren't for a shop similar to a factory, there would be no need to open a shop in this place.
"What else can it be, it's that little bookstore, I can't open it!"
"Bookstore?" this aroused Cheng Yangyang's interest, "Isn't the bookstore the most profitable shop in the city, why is it closed?"
According to this era of high reading, the bookstore will not go out of business!
"What is making money", Wei Dacheng shook his head, with a look of pity, "Lao Lin's bookstore also prints some Xiucai's homework notes or something, and the official bookstore is the most useful for the examination of fame!"
"But isn't there no official bookstore in our town?"
"That being said, the people in the city who are reading would rather have someone go to another place to bring it back than buy this useless thing. ”
It seems to be a folk bookstore, and the books published are just Xiucai's pretended deep articles on weekdays, the people can't understand it, and the readers disdain it, no wonder the business is not good.
"Uncle Wei, let's calculate the balance payment!" Cheng Yangyang stepped forward and took out the order and handed it to Wei Dacheng.
"Oh, okay!" Wei Dacheng was still immersed in the helplessness of his old neighbor to move away when he was pulled back to his thoughts by Cheng Yangyang, he took out his abacus, and his fingertips flew quickly to calculate the amount of the final payment.
"There is still a difference of four or three dollars in the final payment. ”
Cheng Yangyang took out the silver and handed it to him, "I'll trouble Uncle Wei next time I need to."
"Okay, your Uncle Wei and I have been waiting here for Miss Cheng to come!" Wei Dacheng accepted the money with a smile and sent them out.
The ox cart went out of the courtyard of the Wei family, and when he passed by the Lin family's bookstore opposite, a scent of ink wafted in, and Cheng Yangyang looked along and saw that the door of the bookstore was empty, and things were being liquidated inside.
The ghost sent the gods, Cheng Yangyang's footsteps turned in a different direction and walked straight to the courtyard of the Lin family's bookstore.
"Sister Cheng!" Liu Wei saw that she didn't follow, so he stopped the car and followed her in.
When the people from the Lin family's bookstore saw a man and a woman coming in, they stopped what they were doing and looked at them, "What's the matter with the two of you?"
As soon as Cheng Yangyang entered the door, he was attracted by the things in the yard, the anti-monogram blanks of commonly used words, the frames used for typesetting, and the tools needed for printing, all of which were stained with the ink that was accidentally dripped, and over time, they couldn't be wiped off.
It is precisely because of this that these tools are filled with the fragrance of ink, which is also the meaning of their existence.
"Sister Cheng, let's go!"
Liu Wei saw that Cheng Yangyang didn't respond, thinking that she was stunned by the wrong door, so he pulled her clothes and told her to leave.
"What?" Cheng Yangyang came back to her senses, she didn't hear what they said just now.
"Dare to ask the girl what is the matter with the entrance?" asked the man who had just spoken.
"Ah, it's okay!" Cheng Yangyang just accidentally heard about this bookstore today, she didn't think about what to do when she walked in, she just subconsciously wanted to come in and have a look, nothing else.
"Since the girl is fine, the old man will not entertain the girl", the man smiled faintly, very polite.
"Excuse me!" Cheng Yangyang nodded at the man embarrassedly, turned around and went out with Liu Wei.
On the way home, Cheng Yangyang seemed to have been thinking about something, Liu Wei and Cheng Yangyang were not involved in chatting, it seemed that there was something on their minds.
When the few people returned to Wangjia Village, it was already dark, Cheng Qingqing lit the lamp for Liu Wei and they unloaded the bottle at the bottom of the small slope, and when the bottle was about to be unloaded, Cheng Yangyang picked up Cheng Qingqing's hand and asked her to go back.
"Brother Liu, why don't you stay at my house for one night, I have a few empty rooms in my house, and I can sleep!"
Liu Wei and the others have been rushing home at night since she started supporting the refugees, at that time they had to get up early every day, she felt deeply guilty, now they are in Wangjia Village, tomorrow is nothing, she will stay with them for one night.
"Then how can it be, you are a big girl's family, won't it damage your reputation if we live?"
Several people in Liujia Village resolutely did not want to stay, the Cheng family had no elders, just a big girl and a little girl, and a little ghost, it was not suitable for them to live!
"It's okay, Brother Liu, I don't care about this!" She used to live in the company's dormitory, and the male colleague next door was not also there, what is this!
"You don't care, that's not it, you'll be gossiped if you're seen!" she was used to grinning, but Liu Wei and the others still didn't want to do anything that damaged her reputation.
"Okay!" Cheng Yangyang couldn't help it, she shouted at Cheng Qingqing on the small slope, "Qingqing, are things ready?"
In order to hurry, they hadn't eaten since they had eaten two buns in the morning, and it was so late that she took the good idea to let them go back hungry.
"It's coming!"
Cheng Qingqing was holding a burden in her arms, Li Yuanan helped her hold the lamp next to her, and the two of them came down together.
"Brother, give!" she handed the burden in her arms to Liu Wei.
"What is this?" Liu Wei took it curiously, opened the baggage and saw that it was a big bun and a boiled duck egg!
"Sister of the Cheng family, why are you ......" Liu Wei saw that Cheng Yangyang was preparing food for them again, he was a little unhappy, and when he wanted to return to her, before he finished speaking, he saw the three members of the Cheng family running uphill.
"Brother Liu, be careful on the way back!"
Cheng Yangyang dropped a sentence, ran home directly, and closed the door.
"This girl!"
A few people in Liujia Village couldn't laugh or cry, even if they refused to take it back, they didn't need to run so fast.
"Let's go, let's go home while eating!" Liu Wei divided the things, and a few people got on the ox cart, stepped on the moonlight, and went back slowly.
......
On a sunny April day, Cheng Yangyang finally began to squeeze oil, she prepared all the things needed for oil squeezing, and now everyone is waiting for her to come and squeeze out the first barrel of oil.
