"They're there too?" Gu Xiaoyou said in surprise.

"Yes, there are a lot of people urging books these days, and the students who copy books are afraid that the supply of books will not be available, so they all stay next door to copy books." The storyteller replied.

"It's too hard." Gu Xiaoyou sighed.

Gu Xiaoyou frowned, and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door of the backyard.

"It must be the guy next door." The scholar said clearly, and ran over to answer the door.

Sure enough, as soon as the courtyard door opened, I saw the faces of the students next door.

The student held a stack of books and said to the scholar: "The junior has seen Mr., this is a freshly copied book." ”

"Okay, bring it in." The scholar pushed open the door and let the student in.

The student put the books neatly on the shelves in the storeroom, and then asked respectfully, "Sir, do you have any books to be copied by juniors tonight?" ”

"...... Tonight"

"It's not there tonight, what time is it, and I'm still copying books." Gu Xiaoyou unceremoniously interrupted the conversation between the two.

The lighting equipment in ancient times was not perfect enough, and these scholars and students were reluctant to light the lamps, and they wanted to stay up late to copy more, did they think their eyesight was too good?

Gu Xiaoyou's words frightened the two people's faces turned pale, and they said apologetically: "Boss, we were wrong, we don't want overtime pay." ”

As soon as he heard this, he knew that they had misunderstood, and Gu Xiaoyou explained helplessly: "I'm not reluctant to give up the money, but I'm worried about your eyes, the brightness in the house is not enough, and copying books at night is not good for your eyesight, today I will give you twice the salary, go home." ”

"Thank you, boss." The scholars and students were overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly.

"You're welcome, tell the others what I said, and let them all go home." Gu Xiaoyou admonished and let the student leave.

The storyteller and the scholars said goodbye to Gu Xiaoyou, Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand and sent them to the door of the backyard, and was about to lock the yard when there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Gu Xiaoyou opened the door and saw that the students in the courtyard next door were all holding books and standing at the door.

Seeing Gu Xiaoyou, they all showed smiling faces and called in unison, "Hello Boss Gu." ”

"Hello, put the book down and go home." Gu Xiaoyou said.

"Yes, boss." The students answered and sent the books in their hands to the storeroom as instructed.

Gu Xiaoyou helped code the books together, and asked curiously, "You just run back and forth every day?" ”

"Well, we pick up the books and go next door, and then deliver them from next door, four or five times a day." The student replied.

"Four or five trips......" Gu Xiaoyou muttered.

Gu Xiaoyou thought thoughtfully, although the backyard of the book copying next door and the backyard of the book club were close to each other, the courtyard gate was one south and one north, so it would take nearly fifteen minutes to go around.

No wonder they all copied so late, at least an hour a day on the road.

Waiting for Gu Xiaoyou to send the students away, he locked the bookstore, and he kept thinking about how to save them some trouble in the carriage.

After taking a simple shower at night, Gu Xiaoyou took the floor plan to study, and with the photos in his mobile phone, he quickly thought of a way.

"yes, can't you get through?" Gu Xiaoyou had a flash of inspiration and said.

She's really stupid, she's been thinking about what kind of carriage to match, what kind of car to match, isn't it much easier to get through directly.

With the idea, Gu Xiaoyou immediately drew a sketch on the paper, and he had a lot of experience in repairing the house recently, so he quickly drew the sketch.

Early the next morning, Gu Xiaoyou took the sketch and found the wooden work.

"The backyard is still very easy to get through." Mu Zuo looked at the sketch and said, "And there are ready-made materials on hand." ”

"Approximately how long." Gu Xiaoyou asked.

"It takes less than half an hour to get through the backyard." Mu Zuo estimated the time and replied.

"Okay, it's going to be an hour before the door opens, so let's open the backyard before they come." Gu Xiaoyou couldn't wait.

"Okay, the little one will bring someone over immediately." Mu Zuo answered, go and do it immediately.

In this way, Muzuo led the workers to open up the backyards of the two shops while the book club and the book copying shop had not yet opened.

When the people from the two shops came to work, they were surprised that the backyard was much more spacious, and they found that a door had been opened in the middle of the courtyard wall that was originally separated.

There was a note posted on the door, and they curiously took it off to take a look, and it was written in Juanxiu's font, "The backyards on both sides have been opened, please go through this door to pick up and deliver books."

At this time, the foreman scholar of the copying shop came over, and the students handed over the note: "Sir, look, our yard is connected. ”

"yes, the boss told me." The scholar replied with a smile, shaking the key and lock in his hand: "The door is open during the day, and I will lock it at night." ”

As he spoke, he pushed the door of the courtyard open, and the backyard of the academy next door suddenly came into view.

The people on both sides smiled and said hello, and went to work briskly.

And the surprise is not only that the two houses are connected, during the lunch break, the guys sent a lot of lanterns, and a few lanterns were hung on the roof of the shed.

The men finished dividing the candlesticks and hanging the lanterns, and they all withdrew.

Only one older guy was left, and he went to the backyard to find the foreman scholar who was eating tea, and said with a serious expression: "Hello sir, Boss Gu has something to tell the little one." ”

"Please." The foreman scholar held the tea cup and answered casually.

The guy put the package on the table and said seriously: "Boss Gu ordered two things, first, here is Cassia Chrysanthemum Tea, one pack per person, brew it when you have time, it is excellent for the eyes." ”

When the foreman scholar heard this, he put down the teacup, unwrapped the package and glanced at it, and said gratefully: "I know, and I will convey my gratitude to Boss Gu for my subordinates." ”

"Hmm." The guy responded, and said with a more serious expression: "The second is that everyone must do it, Boss Gu ordered, the lanterns must be lit at night, and the candlesticks on the table must be lit at least two, if they don't do it, they will be canceled from working overtime." ”

"The above is Boss Gu's original words, the little one will come to check the post at night, I hope you will do it."

After saying that, the man saluted and turned to leave.

The foreman scholar looked at the tea bag in the package and couldn't help but hook his lips and smile.

He took the package and walked back to the room where he was copying, and immediately found the lantern and the three candlesticks on each desk.

At this time, the students also finished their lunch break, and when they came back, they also noticed the changes in the room, and their faces showed surprise.

Without waiting for them to ask questions, the foreman scholar handed out the tea bags and repeated Gu Xiaoyou's words: "Have you all remembered? ”

"Remembered." The students held tea bags, and their eyes were full of emotion.

The day's copying was soon over, and the students found that the time to deliver and pick up the books was shortened, and the copying buddies were much more relaxed.
