Shen took Wang Xiaguo to the only bookstore in town, which was very dilapidated and opened in a small alley full of mud.

Unobtrusive, but really the only bookstore in town.

The bookshelves of the bookstore were lined with old books, and the paper was yellowed and smelled of damp mustiness.

Shen Zhiyao frowned, picked up one of the books and flipped through the two pages, and found that the paper of the book was rough and thin, and the font was small and a little blurry.

It should be piracy.

The owner of the bookstore is a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, handsome, very thin, called Huang Daben, he saw Shen Zhiyao flip through several books, and then came over with a smile and said: "Big sister, although these books of mine look old, the words in them can be seen clearly. If you're sincere, I'll sell you cheaper. ”

Shen Zhiyao smiled and nodded, looked it up, and only found a few books that were slightly better and suitable for children.

Seeing that there were homework books, Shen Zhiyao did not hesitate to equip each child with four books, two pencils and an eraser.

When checking out, Huang Daben was also very kind, only three cents for an old book, one dime for three books, one dime for four pencils, and one dime for two erasers.

Calculate it, it's not expensive.

Shen Zhiyao gave the money with a smile, Huang Daben is a smart person, he can see that Shen Zhiyao is a potential big customer, and he gave Shen Zhiyao two more notebooks and a pencil, and said with a smile: "Big sister, you are a teacher in school, right?" Let's be born once, cooked twice, tell me in advance what you want to buy next time, and I'll bring it to you when I go to the city to buy it! ”

There is also a school in the town, and there are two stationery stores in front of the school, and the children and teachers in the school are happy to buy stationery there, and he opened a bookstore, and by the way, he also sells stationery, but the business is not very good.

After all, he is in the alley, a little far away from the school, and only students who live nearby come to him to buy things.

Therefore, he finally met a big spender, and he couldn't let go of such a good opportunity to make money.

Shen Zhiyao smiled gently and said, "Boss, I buy more, you have to give me cheaper." As long as the price is right, I'll come back. ”

"Of course, don't worry, big girl, I will definitely give you a preferential price."

"Then thank you, boss."

"Hey, it's polite to call the boss, my surname is Huang, if the eldest sister doesn't dislike it, just call me Brother Huang, just tell me what you want in the future, and the eldest brother will give you a conscience price."

Huang Daben is a straightforward and fast-talking person, who is not ambiguous in business, and is also refreshing, and smiles when he sees people.

Shen Zhiyao was not polite, after thinking about it, she said with a smile: "Then trouble Brother Huang, I have a list of things for you to open, if you can find it, please do me a favor, and I will come back next week to get it." ”

"Okay, big sister, you write a list, and I'll find it for you if I can get it together."

Huang Daben transferred money with a smile, took a notebook and a ballpoint pen and handed them to Shen Zhiyao.

Shen Zhiyao thanked him, put the book on the table, bent down to write, and took it seriously, Huang Daben has also read for a few years, is literate, and knows good and bad.

After seeing Shen Zhiyao's words, he couldn't help but show surprise on his face, he didn't expect that there were still people in their small place who could write so beautifully.

Shen Zhiyao's words are upright and upright, with the beauty and roundness of a girl, the edge is not obvious, it seems to be regular, but it is so good-looking that people can't take their eyes off.

Huang Daben took the list handed over by Shen Zhiyao, and couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Big sister, your handwriting is really beautiful, it is better than what is written in the book, it is the first time I have seen someone write so beautifully when I am so old." ”

Shen Zhiyao smiled very reservedly and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Brother Huang, for the compliment, and please help me see if the things on the list can be made?" ”

"There are three Chinese and mathematics textbooks for the third grade, this is okay; Two second-grade Chinese textbooks and three mathematics textbooks, this is also acceptable; There are three first-grade Chinese textbooks and two math textbooks. But...... English Textbook ...... This one is harder to find. ”

Huang Daben twisted his eyebrows and said: "In today's schools, let alone primary schools, some junior high schools do not teach English, and it is difficult to have textbooks, even if there are, they are at least junior high schools." ”

Shen Zhiyao was not embarrassed by Huang Daben, she nodded and said: "It's okay in junior high school, you can find what you can find, forget if you can't find it, it's troublesome Brother Huang." ”

"The eldest sister is polite, what's the trouble with this? I'm a businessman, you're a customer, I'm paying for things, there's nothing troublesome. ”

Huang Daben waved his hand with a smile, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Zhiyao as if he thought of something, his pupils dilated slightly, and asked curiously: "Big sister, you just asked for English textbooks, is it possible that you can also speak English?" ”

"A little."

Shen Zhiyao smiled softly.

She began to learn English at the age of two, and because of her work, her parents attached great importance to her education, so she learned a lot since she was a child, and her parents enrolled her in various interest classes.

In addition to English, she also learned German, and although she did not reach the point of proficiency, she had no problem communicating normally.

Huang Daben became more and more curious about Shen Zhiyao, looking at Shen Zhiyao's white and clean appearance, she didn't look like a mountain person, but she did appear in the town.

And she is still a cultured girl, from the simple relationship just now, Huang Daben can also see that this is a good girl with an introverted and kind personality, sensible and polite.

But he couldn't figure out how this kind of girl, who seemed to be raised by a rich family in the city, could appear in the town.

Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, he raised his eyes and glanced around, turned around to block Wang Xiaguo's sight, squeezed his eyebrows at Shen Zhiyao, and lowered his voice suspiciously: "Big sister, have you suffered any hardships?" If so, let me know and I'll help you! ”

Huang Daben's face was very solemn, if the eldest sister in front of him was really illegally sold to the mountains to give birth to a daughter-in-law, he must find a way to save the eldest sister from the fire pit.

Shen Zhiyao understood what Huang Daben meant in an instant, she couldn't laugh or cry, but also a little moved, she shook her head and said: "Thank you, Brother Huang, my mother's family is from Wangcheng, and I only married to Wangjiashan three months ago, my husband and I met in Wangcheng, and I was also willing to come back and marry him." ”

"Oh, that's good."

Huang Daben looked up and touched the back of his head with some embarrassment, and grinned: "I thought you were deceived, isn't it." ”

"Thank you, Brother Huang, it's not too early, I should leave too, and I'll talk about it again next week."

Shen Zhiyao smiled generously, neither humble nor arrogant, Huang Daben nodded hurriedly and promised: "Okay, you can go home as soon as possible!" I'll get you what you want before you come. ”

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Shen Zhiyao took Wang Xiaguo out of the bookstore, walked around for a while, bought some flour, some meat foam and some apples, and saw that the time was indeed almost up, so he went to the street to meet the villagers who came to the market together.
