Chapter 37: Xinhua Bookstore

What He Yun didn't expect was that the wharf was particularly lively at the moment, with all kinds of fishing boats leaning on the wharf, shouting one after another, and many fish buyers shuttling to the side of the fishing boats, selecting the fish to be caught.

Seeing this scene, He Yun had a strong sense of unreality, he blinked his eyes, and after making sure that he was not dazzled, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart: "Is the market economy so developed?" ”

Indeed, in He Yun's cognition, in this era when the planned economy is dominant, the market economy should not have any vitality at all, let alone such a blatant selling?

But he didn't know it, he only knew one thing and didn't know the other.

Although the market economy is not the mainstream now, this does not mean that the underlying market is not active.

For example, this kind of fish trading and agricultural product trading is actually very common throughout the country.

In fact, since the beginning of the first few years, the state has encouraged the sale of such agricultural products, after all, the people in the city want to eat vegetables, and the farmers also want to increase their income.

Pier, ticket office.

He Yun came here again with the TV in his arms.

When the staff saw He Yun coming again, they immediately said to He Yun: "Comrade! Buy a ticket? Tickets are available right now! ”

"There's a ticket, right? Ok, good, good! Buy a ticket and give! It's money! After He Yun gently put down the TV, he immediately took out the money from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

The other party took the money and quickly gave He Yun a stamped ticket.

"Comrade, this is your ticket, please take it!"

"Okay! Thank you! He Yun took the ticket and immediately sat on the boat with the TV.

At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I finally got on the boat and was ready to go back immediately.

"Young man...... Are you a TV? He Yunzheng sighed, and suddenly, the person around him asked.

He Yun turned his head and found that the person questioning was an old man wearing a Mao suit and a pair of old-fashioned glasses.

"Yes! 14 inches, our unit asked me to buy it! ”

He Yun didn't say that he bought it himself, the reason is very simple, in this era, low-key is king, you are too high-profile, but it is not good.

"The unit bought? Dare to ask what unit the young man is? Isn't that cheap? The old man asked again.

"Well, it's not cheap, but it's not very expensive, a little more than five hundred, our township chief specially told me that I must buy the most affordable one." He Yun replied with a smile.

"Are you from the township government? Which township? When the old man heard He Yun's answer, he hesitated for a while and asked again.

"Sanshui Township! Maybe you don't know! He Yun then replied.

"Sanshui Township? How can I not know this, but I have been a knowledgeable youth in your team, and your township chief is still Li Laidong? ”

"Yes! It's still Township Chief Li, I didn't expect you to go to our team, that's really fate! Where are you going by boat...... you're going? ”

"Go to the three docks to do something, that's right! Young man, can you help me give you Township Chief Li a little word? I am now working in the Xinhua Bookstore in the urban area, and you Township Chief Li have always wanted to buy some books on agriculture and planting, if he wants to buy them, he can contact me. ”

"Oooh...... Good! I'll be sure to help you get that through. He Yun did not refuse, and readily agreed.

However, he thought about it for a while, and suddenly thought of something, and then asked the old man, "You just said that you work in Xinhua Bookstore?" Are there many books in the Xinhua bookstore in the city? I also want to buy some books to read back. ”

"Many! Naturally a lot! If you want to buy it, you can come to me. ”

"And what if I watched it there? Is it okay too? ”

He Yun naturally knew that Xinhua Bookstore was state-run, and in later generations, the books in the store could be read casually, as long as you didn't damage or take them away.

But I don't know now, after all, the only place where you can buy books now is Xinhua Bookstore, and there are no private bookstores.

"Absolutely...... You can even borrow books, but you have to be from the city, and you have to open a letter of introduction and pay a deposit, which is more troublesome, what? Do you have an idea, lad? ”

The old man's words made He Yun stunned for a long time.

How can this be?

Isn't that what a library does?

Can you even borrow books?

Although it is a bit troublesome, this operation is simply 666!

"Really? Can you leave a contact information? He Yun thought about it and said immediately.

"Okay! No problem! This is the address of Xinhua Bookstore, this is my name, write a letter or send a telegram! The old man happened to have a fountain pen with him, and he hurriedly left his contact address and name on the TV case.

"Good...... Good! He Yun glanced at the address and name written by the old man, and silently remembered it in his heart.

Next, the two chatted word by word, and the relationship was obviously much closer.

…………

At half past four in the afternoon, the boat docked on the dock in the town.

He Yun said goodbye to the old man and got off the boat with the TV.

As soon as he got off the boat, he saw his eldest brother pushing a 28 bar standing there and seemed to be waiting for him.

"Big brother!" He Yun hurriedly stepped forward and shouted while holding the TV.

"Fourth brother! You finally came back, you don't know, your parents are worried about you, if it weren't for Principal Zhao taking a telegram to the house yesterday, we wouldn't know that you quietly went to the city, this time you were too reckless, and ran to the city without saying a word...... Why didn't you tell us beforehand. ”

"Ah...... Big brother, then I'll go back immediately, you can help me tie this TV to the back seat! ”

He Yun said, and was ready to take over the twenty-eight bars in the hands of his eldest brother.

But at this time, I heard the eldest brother say: "You slow down on the road, don't fall!" ”

"Got it, big brother! I'll be on the safe side. ”

After tying up the TV, He Yun replied and immediately rode on the 28 bars and rushed home.

…………

When I returned to school, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

He Yun said hello to the guard room master and went back to the dormitory.

He was tired of this day, he sat on the boat for seven or eight hours, and when he got home and was reprimanded by his mother, he was already physically and mentally exhausted.

Fortunately, for the sake of the TV he bought, his father didn't say anything, but just warned He Yun not to be so reckless.

Back in the dormitory, He Yun lit the calcium carbide lamp, lit the stove, and sat down at the desk.

He opened the thick manuscript paper, picked up the pen on the side, took a deep breath, and began to continue writing "Fanghua".

Maybe he was too tired today, he wrote for a while, but he didn't write much, but dozed off.

By the time he woke up, it was already dark outside, but the carbide lamp had long since been extinguished.

"Looks like it's almost dawn? Am I asleep? He Yun muttered in a low voice, and then re-lit the calcium carbide lamp.

He got up and walked to the window, looked out of the window, and saw that the sky was bright, so he poured some "warm boiled water" from the thermos, washed his face, drank warm boiled water, and rinsed his mouth.

Then he sat back down at his desk and continued to pick up his pen and start writing.

Writing and writing, He Yundun felt that his thinking was quick, and his inspiration soared, and after a while, a page was full.
