41 It's so beautiful, the Huangpu River
"I ...... I don't know. Anyway, the Chinese version was bought by me, it was super expensive, and I had to pay more than 60 yuan when I bought it. ”
I thought that I was entangled in my heart because I bought the wrong Japanese version, so I looked for a Chinese version everywhere and bought it at a high price.
Some distress - money!
So I won't sell this book by Nova One.
For the rest of the afternoon, until half past one in the afternoon, I struggled with what books to bring to school to sell, and what to sell at the right price.
It wasn't until Douzi's stomach was rumbling with hunger that I was embarrassed to say, "Let's go, grandma makes wontons, let's go eat wontons first." ”
"If you don't say it sooner, I'm going to faint from hunger." Beanzi grumbled.
"On such a hot day, anyway, it's eating cold wontons, what are you anxious about, grandma won't urge."
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the final market, and after breakfast, Douzi and I began to pack the books.
"Be careful, don't crumple the corners of the book." I have a little obsessive-compulsive disorder with books, for fear that if the beans are rough, a good book will be damaged.
"Lixia, you're kidding, I'm a person who doesn't even get paper dirty when I paint."
Douzi and I looked at each other and smiled, really, Douzi's cleanliness habit limited him to become a painting artist.
Douzi found a few cardboard boxes of apples and bananas from my grandmother, and I brought two transparent sorting boxes and put the 300 books I had selected with great difficulty in the past few days into the boxes.
At this time, my grandfather walked in.
"Grandpa, why are you here?" Douzi approached the door, saw his grandfather standing at the door, and hurriedly moved the box away.
"Ah, are you moving books or sorting out books?"
With a table full of books, it's no wonder that my grandfather has such questions when he reads it.
"I'm going to go back to school once in a while, the final market." I moved a chair for my grandfather, for fear that he would not feel comfortable in his legs after standing for a long time.
"It's a good idea to pack books in boxes, but ......," my grandfather stopped talking.
"Grandpa Xi, it's much more convenient to load books in the box, you see, the horns won't be warped, and it's easy to carry."
Grandpa laughed a few times, ignored the beans, and turned to leave the bookstore.
"Grandpa probably went to visit the flower and bird market, and happened to pass by." I didn't think much of it.
Fifteen minutes later, we finally packed all the books into boxes and were ready to be loaded into the car.
The school's final market usually starts at 11 o'clock at noon, no earlier than 10:30 at the earliest, and the square is located in a large open space in front of the cafeteria, because the cafeteria is open for lunch around 10:50, so no one will pass by before 11 o'clock.
At ten o'clock, I proposed to carry the books to the door first, so that when the beans drove over, they could be loaded in the trunk and set off.
It is inconvenient to park at the door, and it will be troublesome for more than ten minutes, and it occupies a non-motorized lane, which is really embarrassing.
Douzi felt justified, and walked over to the desk and hugged the sorting box.
I don't know, I am scared when I hug.
"Lixia, this can't be moved at all."
"Huh?" I stepped forward and lifted the box, and sure enough, it was heavy and heavy.
"I had to move with two people."
Douzi looked sad, "No, can your school bus drive to the square?" ”
"I can't think so, it's a long way to move from the parking lot to the square."
"That's not good, you and I can't move a long way."
I looked at a box of books, and my gums were a little sore.
At this time, there was another voice at the door, and I looked around, and my grandfather went and returned.
"This box is good, Lixia's thin arms and legs can't move it at all, a book looks light, and after being stacked together, the amount is really not to be underestimated."
"Grandpa...... You are right, the box itself has no weight at all, and when it is loaded with a book, it is as heavy as a stone, as if all its strength has been sucked away by it. ”
"Yes, I don't have any problems, I'm afraid that Lixia won't be able to hold the handle."
I glared at Bean, who pretended not to see.
I:...... The skin of this bean is getting thicker and thicker!
"It's no wonder that the second-hand bookstore on Fuzhou Road often sells books by the catty, 15 yuan a catty, I feel like I can buy a lot, but in fact, I can't buy a few copies at all."
I grumbled as I returned the books in the box to my desk.
"It's still the old way."
Grandpa took out a bundle of red nylon rope from his pocket and continued, "Twenty books of similar size are put together, and then I'll help you tie them up." ”
"Is it the same as when we used to go to the Temple of Literature to set up a bookstall bundle?"
"Yes, that's it, Lixia will put the books in order, and I'll help you tie them up after they're finished."
"Okay."
With that, I picked up my speed and quickly organized the book into three stacks by size.
Douzi watched the whole time, and didn't know how to help, and when my grandfather stood up to bundle the books, I thought of the fact that I had turned over the books at the school gate a few days ago, all because I hadn't learned the skills of this bundle of books since I was a child.
I only know that its superficial work seems simple, but when I tie it myself, it is not like that at all.
Barely tied up, I sweated and thanked my grandfather for teaching him by hand.
Douzi wanted to ask his grandfather to say a few words about the book-binding skills, and his grandfather enthusiastically introduced him for five minutes, and Douzi winked at me beautifully.
————————
In Pudong in June, there is a lot of beautiful weather. As I drove past the Lupu Bridge, the Huangpu River was calm and picturesque, the air was clear, and the climate was pleasant, so I quietly looked out the window at the scenery and listened to the music of the beans in the car.
"I like Pudong now, every time I drive out, I choose to walk a section of the bridge as much as possible, either Lupu or Nanpu, just to see the river view."
Douzi has studied art since he was a child, and his perception and understanding of scenery is far greater than mine, which I envy from time to time.
"Look to the right, this section of the road is the most beautiful."
When driving from Pudong to Puxi, through the window on the right side of the passenger seat, you can see the entire river and the silver flying saucer-shaped Mercedes Performing Arts Center and the red China Pavilion in the distance.
I looked at the river quietly, and the river looked at me quietly, and I suddenly seemed to understand the meaning of this quietness.
Every day, every day, looking at the same Huangpu River, behind her silence is a kind of telling and listening, she listens to the story of the city, the vigor of spring, the warmth of summer, the clarity of autumn and the cool and humid air of winter.
"Beans, I think the Huangpu River is really beautiful, and now it is beautiful all year round."
"Yes, when the weather is good, the surface of the Huangpu River is dark blue-gray, like the color of sea water."
"Really? Then I'll start running in the riverside every morning tomorrow, and it should be no problem until July, it's not too hot. ”
"Okay, I can't get up, I'll wait for you at the bookstore at half past nine, and if I find out that you don't show up, my salary will be deducted."
I was really frightened, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Young master, if I open the door on time at half past nine every day, will you still give me a perfect attendance award?" ”
"You're the store manager, you should."
I:...... The beans really have no feelings!
You deserve to have no girlfriend.
