Chapter 269: What is a leek?

In America, the school system is generally adopted, and the nine-month academic year is divided into two semesters of 16 to 18 weeks; The first semester starts at the end of August and ends in mid-to-late December, and the second semester starts in early January and ends in late May.

Only when they arrive at the university, some schools, will adopt the quarter system, they divide the year's courses into four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, each quarter corresponds to a semester, each semester is basically ten to twelve weeks, at least three quarters a year, in order to maintain student status, due to the short class time, frequent exams, so the pressure on students is also very great.

But regardless of whether it is a primary or secondary school or a university, whether it is a semester system or a quarter system, after a relaxing and happy Christmas holiday, these guys will return to school one after another and devote themselves to the relatively intense study.

Because of this, from January to February every year, it is a period of time when various entertainment activities are relatively shrinking, before the Christmas holiday, the gold-absorbing monster, and then there is the psychological pressure of resuming work and school, and the consumption desire of adults and children will plummet.

But this year, it's different.

In the past, at the door of major bookstores and book rental markets every year, there was a group of college students crying and waiting for the funeral.

Because the price of books is too expensive, and the school does not provide textbooks, any one will be close to three digits.

If you are studying medicine, it is even more life-threatening, and if you want to prepare all the books, the unforgettable pain caused by the outflow of white money can fully prove that knowledge is indeed obtained from hard work.

But this year, in the eyes of those big friends who are stuck in renting books at the start of classes in order to save money, the situation is different.

While these guys were waiting in line for the staff to rent books for them, a bunch of little ones of different heights and ages were tiptoeing in anticipation of the locked sales area next to them.

"What are these little guys doing?" After a few glances, the puzzled college student spoke, "I remember that the textbooks for primary and secondary schools are all provided by the school for free, right?" Unless these guys are all private? ”

Hearing this, the little sister who lived in the same dormitory as her turned her head to look at each other, and when she saw the poster in the hand of a child, the words of understanding also came out, "Oh, you said they? Buy Harry Potter. ”

“What? Harry Potter? ”

The blonde college girl didn't find the book in her head, "What's that?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the little sister's face also showed surprise.

Turning her head to look at the other person, she felt that her sister had crawled out of that place in Mississippi.

"How long has it been since you've been online? Or haven't you read TV and newspapers since the holidays? Don't you even know Harry Potter? As soon as it was listed, it won the first place on the New York Times bestseller list. The recommender is George Lucas, who said that after reading the book, he had a hunch that "Harry Potter" would be as popular as "Star Wars". And Steven Spielberg also stood up to evaluate the book, saying that the story in the book brought him back to the time when he was filming "Aliens. He can't wait to make this imaginative book into a movie! ”

"David Olsen you know, right? It is the father of the Olsen sisters, and he also recently said that after getting "Harry Potter", the bedtime stories of the three Olsen sisters have changed from "Grimm's Fairy Tales", "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales", "One Thousand and One Nights" and "Aesop's Fables" to "Harry Potter". ”

"And Yahoo also has a Harry Potter section on it, and many people are discussing where to buy books!"

"Huh?" Such a situation made female college students exclaim, "This book is so popular?" ”

"The last time it was such a popular book, it was "Jurassic Park", right?"

"If it's not popular, how can these people block the door of the bookstore to buy it?"

The little sister asked rhetorically, and then said, "Do you want to buy one too?" It's not expensive, and it's the price of a normal bestseller, 29.99 dollars. It doesn't matter if you can't stand it, take it back to your sister......"

"Hey, hey, hey......"

As soon as she heard the price, the blonde college student smiled and refused.

Just kidding!

Books are on fire, but if you want her to take out 29.99 dollars to buy a book that she doesn't know at all, isn't her head struck by lightning? It's not so bad to have money!

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it, you can still watch the excitement.

In the interval between the queues, her eyes kept glancing at the book purchase desk, and after about three or five minutes, the toothache creaked suddenly, and when the students in line to rent books frowned and turned their heads to look, the bean sprouts standing in front of the roller shutter were like Xiao Achai who heard the bell of the rice opening.

"It's open! It's open! ”

The shouts of excitement were like a clarion call for a charge.

"Is it still the counter?"

Affirmative inquiries have been pre-directed in the direction.

When the staff nodded and opened the glass door, the men and women who had been waiting at the door for a long time rushed to the bookshelf with the cover poster of "Harry Potter" like devils entering the village.

“Yeah! I got it! ”

The first watermelon-headed boy to grab the book yelled excitedly.

But before he could show off, the four-foot-tall young man was drowned out by the dark shadow that followed him.

The men and women huddled in front of the bookshelves all stretched out their hands, trying to snatch all the possibilities as far as the eye could see.

If you look at it from the perspective of the bookcase lady, it is dressed up beautifully after a night's rest, but as soon as it opened, countless tentacles sprung up wildly, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, hollowing out all its body, and then ......

Leaving only a mess and drifting away.

“Oh! Shit! How many books have you been on? Why didn't I grab it? ”

When the guys who grabbed the books gasped and rushed to the cash register to line up to check out, a fat man with a sense of tonnage appeared in front of the bookshelf with a confused face, because there was too much collagen on his face, so his eyes were squeezed very small, and he who could cope with everything with a thin slit on weekdays, now his eyes widened.

If you have to describe it, then at this moment, he is like being possessed by a fat cat.

After yelling, he found that no one answered, so he turned his neck and tried to reason with the clerk.

Just as his eyes were sweeping, he suddenly found that the watermelon head who had grabbed the book earlier had just gotten up from the ground.

Because of patronizing and showing off, this young man was hit by a wave, and when he hid aside and waited for the crowd to retreat, his trousers and clothes also had a few more shoe prints that he didn't know who had stepped on, and even his own shoes fell a few feet away.

Seeing the lonely Nike shoes, the chubby little eyes turned around, and then, he picked up the shoes that were very close to him, and then handed them over kindly.

"Thank you, thank you."

Seeing this situation, the ravaged watermelon head thanked him repeatedly.

But when he took the shoes and wanted to recycle them, he pulled them twice, but he didn't pull them.

'Huh? ’

On the head of the watermelon, countless small question marks appeared.

When he cast a puzzled look at Fat Dun, the Fat Dun who was clutching his shoes showed his fangs.

"Get the book for it."

“What?”

"I said, take Harry Potter and change your shoes."

“!!!”

As soon as these words came out, the watermelon head was immediately shocked, and the book that was placed beside him was immediately moved under his legs.

After staring at the fat man twice, and seeing that the other party's words did not seem to be fake, the little guy shouted angrily: "Shameless! ”

"Shameless? As long as you can buy books! ”

Fat Dun smiled proudly, hooked his hands, and said, "Give me the book quickly, or you will go home barefoot today." ”

Such words made the watermelon's head breathe rougher, and seeing that the fat dun was trying to grab it, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and quickly turned his head and shouted to the security personnel at the door of the store: "HelpMe!! ”

"Someone here wants to burn books!!"

“Oh! No! He's already got his lighter!! ”

The heart-rending yelling attracted the security guard, and looking at the guy who was approaching with an electric baton in his hand, Ben was still smiling and panicked, and pulled back his shoes hard.

First, he glared at the watermelon head angrily and roared: "MotherFucker!! ”

Then he raised his hands and shouted, "Wait! Wait a minute! This guy lies! I didn't burn books at all! I just want to make a deal with him! ”

But the security guard didn't think so much, pointed at him with an electric baton and said, "Child, please put down your weapon." ”

Speaking of weapons, the white man glanced at the fat man's hand again, and the obvious logo made him frown.

"Uh...... Put it down...... Nike? ”

“Yeah! ~" Fat Dun shouted excitedly, "I'm holding Nike in my hand!" ”

"Hahahaha......"

"It's so cute! These two guys are so cute! ”

After witnessing the drama of bullying the small and finally overturning, the surrounding college students all laughed.

It seems that these children are too funny, but more like they think that these guys' behavior of grabbing books is too exaggerated, so while her body is shaking and trying to hold back her laughter, the female college student also complained to the little sister in front of her: "Don't you think these children's behavior is too stupid?" Isn't it just a book? Is it necessary to make a fuss like this? ”

"Uh-huh~" The little sister shrugged her shoulders, and when she showed a happy smile that she had also witnessed, she also said approvingly: "No way, who made them all children?" It's understandable to be naïve......"

"Besides, weren't we like that when we were young? A big fire thing appeared, whether others had it or not, we had to have it anyway, if not, then we couldn't hold our heads up among classmates and friends......"

"Compare~" The blonde female college student smiled, looking at the little guy's eyes, full of nostalgia, "It's good that we have grown up, otherwise I don't know how much money we have to contribute to those businesses." ”

"yes!" The little sister nodded in agreement, while handing over the books she borrowed to the clerk for registration, and after the other party calculated the price, she took out her card to check out, "Oh yes, go to see "Titanic" at night?" I haven't been to see it in a week, and I heard that someone in our class brushed it sixteen times? That Bitch doesn't know how many men have paid for her! ”

“Wow! Sixteen times? Is that an exaggeration? I've only watched it nine times! ”

The blonde female college student who was still there to observe the follow-up of the book snatching turned her head in surprise, and after seeing the determined look on the little sister's face, she handed the book to the clerk at the same time, and nodded and said, "Go, why don't you go?" ”

"I've watched it nine times, but I don't have too much!"

"The love between Jack and Ruth is so touching! Every time I see Jack die, I cry ......"

"Oh yes, I heard that Roland didn't win any awards at all the awards? And Kate won the award softly? Isn't that fair? Roland and Kate are obviously just as good, why can't he win the award? Are all the old men who judged the awards color embryos? Think Kate is beautiful and jealous of Roland's handsomeness? They are discriminating against! Discrimination understands? ”

When the blonde female college student walked out of the bookstore with her little sister holding the rented books, the indignant complaint made the male compatriots who were also queuing up to rent books shake their heads again and again-

One of them, a young man with glasses who was about the same size and carrying a shoulder bag, sighed, glanced at the door, glanced at the fat dun and watermelon head who had reached a settlement, and said with emotion: "These two women are really funny?" ”

"I just said that the two children were naïve and deceived by the merchant, and the second foot decided to brush "Titanic" again?"

"Hey! Isn't this still uncontrollable desire in the heart? ”

"yes, yes, I've watched it nine times, and I still want to watch it, isn't that stupid?" Another brown fur echoed, "How good it is for us to say that we are here to rent books, and we are here to rent books!" ”

"What's so good about the movie? Isn't it just that the visuals are fantastic? Other than that, there is only an ordinary love story left, and I feel bored after watching it once......" The rough man in the sports sweatshirt also complained, "but that's it, my girlfriend has to pull me to watch it four times, four times!" Half a day gone! ”

"It's stupid!"

"Wow, your girlfriend pulled you to brush it too? Four times is already good, and my girlfriend asked me to watch it with her seven times a week! Seven times! It's good to go for a meal! What a waste! ”

"Seven times? And a girl? Brothers! You've lost a lot! I've watched it six times, but it's six different girls! Hey, hey, hey! I always watched the last scene with them, and when they cried, I comforted them......"

"No way, who made many girls as easy to deceive as those children......"

Ooh!

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately turned their eyes to one place.

When they saw the man's appearance clearly, their feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred instantly surged.

The man who speaks looks very similar to Kurt Cobain, with a scruffy beard, long hair fluttering, with blue eyes, melancholy, overflowing, to that station, he can kill a lot of girls, if he takes advantage of the situation after watching "Titanic", then ......

Phew! What a brute this special code!

Just when the men around him wanted to show no shame to this guy's behavior, a voice suddenly came from the cashier, "Hey, Jerry, the original picture book of the "Spider-Man" movie you wanted to buy last time has arrived. ”

“Oh! Are you sure? How much? ”

"Fifty-nine points and ninety-nine dollars, if you want a behind-the-scenes collector's edition, it is seventy-nine points and nine dollars, and there are a lot of shooting highlights and photos in it, all of which are poster-level ......"

"Ok, Ok, Ok, get me a behind-the-scenes collector's edition, swipe ......"

Nani!

The guys who wanted to learn from the experience just turned their heads over.

When they saw the clerk take out a thick, beautifully packaged picture book and hand it to the buyer, the guys who had kept saying that the two girls couldn't control their desires all came over.

In a sound of encouragement, the guy who bought the album unpacked the package, and when those guys found that from the first page, it was a close-up introduction to the spider suit, including the fabric version maker and Roland's wearing experience, the sound of the bright sword suddenly appeared, and one by one the credit cards were slapped in front of the bewildered clerk.

"Get me a copy too."

"Me too."

"Hurry up, there is this thing, why don't you take it out and sell it!"

Hearing them say this, the clerk looked embarrassed, "Uh...... This will be officially distributed tomorrow......"

"It's just a day! It doesn't matter! ”

"yes, yes, we don't say, no one knows."

"If you don't sell, we'll call and complain that you sold something that was supposed to be sold tomorrow to someone else today!"

In the face of these young 'threats', the clerk reluctantly took out the original picture book they wanted from the storage cabinet behind them, and when they paid and left satisfied, a middle-aged man who was waiting in the back with a book to pay sighed, whether it was the children snatching "Harry Potter", or the female college students discussing "Titanic", or the young people forcibly buying the original picture book of "Spider-Man", all of this was seen by the pedantic middle-aged people.

As a teacher, he's used to seeing it all.

But when different groups continue to buy what they want, the disappointment of a failure in education still arises.

"Playthings are demoralized! Playthings are demoralized! The middle-aged teacher handed the selected book to the clerk.

When the clerk settled the payment, he found out the identity of the teacher, and shouted in surprise: "Teacher Ligins? ”

"Huh!" The middle-aged man in the hat looked up.

After seeing his appearance, the clerk smiled and said, "Is it really you?" ”

"Huh? Can I help you? ”

"Didn't you tell us last time you wanted to buy Lego from Star Wars? We've got a new batch of Obi-Wan, Yoda, Palpatine, and Jabba, would you be interested in taking a look? ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man named Ligins' eyes glowed golden, "Huh? Yes and there are ......."

"Don't take them one by one, show me all of them......
