Chapter 33: Entering the Book Shopping Center

After Wang Wanting left, I didn't know what to do all of a sudden? Not sure where to go?

The lights on the streets came on one after another......

In the hair salon, neon lights are shining......

In the boutique, there are neon lights flashing......

Overhead, there are white street lights......

The front and rear are dazzling headlights......

There is a lot of traffic and a lot of people......

After a busy day, the city entered the night.

I walked aimlessly along the lower road of agriculture and forest, and came to a wide avenue.

I walked aimlessly along the street again, and I don't know how long I walked, but I felt the comfort of being full of wine and food.

When I arrived at a brightly lit place, I saw the words "Book Center" written on the door, and there were people coming and going at the door......

Book Buying Center? What a place to go!

Book Buying Center? There must be a lot of books!

If I don't go in and take a look, then what kind of cultural person am I?

I'm a literate person, so I deserve to go in and have a look!

I stepped forward.

Suddenly, a thought popped up and interrupted my thoughts: since it is a book purchase center, it is not a book delivery center, nor is it a vain center, and the focus is on the word "purchase"!

Buying, that's buying and selling, that's spending money!

Grandmother! It's money again!!

I just applied for a job, and I will start work tomorrow, and I still don't have a penny in my hand, so how can I talk about "buying books"?

Let's stop embarrassing!

turned around, and felt unwilling. When I came to this world, it was the first place I saw a book, and as a cultural person, wouldn't it be a pity not to go in and have a look?

It just so happened that a young man stood at the door, looking around, neither going in nor leaving, but standing and looking at the door.

I walked up to him and asked, "What are you ......?"

"I'm waiting for someone, what's the matter with you?" The young man stared at me stunned.

I said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm wondering, is this book center accessible to anyone else?" ”

"Of course, you can just go in! Do you still need to ask about this? The young man said.

I said, "What I want to know is, do you have to spend money to buy books to enter this book center?" ”

"Not necessarily, you can just go in and have a look, you can buy it if you want to, and no one will force you if you don't want to buy it." Said the young man.

"Thank you!" I say.

Aha, and such a good thing!

Then I'm definitely going to go in and have a look!

I walked in with my head held high.

Inside, the lights are bright, and the shelves are filled with all kinds of books.

Someone is flipping through the bookshelves.

Someone lingers by the bookshelves.

Someone comes with a book or books to pay the bill.

Someone paid the bill and walked out the door with the book.

It seems that this book center is still very likable.

I suddenly remembered the phrase I had heard before, "This is a cultural desert", which means that most people here don't like to read, but only know how to do business and make money.

I was suddenly indignant - there are still many people in Nanyue who like to read? How is it a cultural desert?

I started walking everywhere and looking everywhere.

In the beginning, I didn't dare to touch the books on the shelves because I felt that they were money to buy.

I don't have any money!

I'm looking at the people who flip through the books, and see how many of them are willing to spend money on books.

Slowly, I found that those people could read any book and leave when they were done, and no one had to buy it.

I also became bolder, and I followed their example and dared to read any book.

"Mom, I want to buy this book!" The sweet voice of a little girl caught my attention.

The little girl looked like she was about four or five years old, with a very sweet voice and a sweet person.

The little girl dragged her young mother to the bookshelf, pointed to a book and said, "This is it, Grimm's Fairy Tales." ”

The young mother has a pair of wide-brimmed eyes on her nose, and in terms of temperament, she should belong to the category of intellectual women. She said, "It's good that you want to buy this book, but my mother has no money." ”

"What about your money?" The little girl asked, looking at her mother.

"My money was already given to you at McDonald's." Said the young mom.

"I eat McDonald's to have power. But this ......," the little girl said, pointing to the slogan on the wall, "it says that knowledge is power." Mom, are they right? Is knowledge power? ”

"They are right, knowledge is power."

"Then I ate McDonald's for power, and I bought books to learn knowledge for power."

"However, my mother's money is limited, and if you eat McDonald's, you can't buy books. If you buy a book, you can't eat McDonald's. Which do you choose? ”

The little girl nibbled her little hand in her mouth, thought for a moment, then pointed her little finger at the book and said, "I choose this, Grimm's Fairy Tales." ”

"Are you sure?"

The little girl nibbled her little hand in her mouth again, thought for a while, and said decisively: "I'm sure!" ”

The young mother said, "Then you have already eaten McDonald's, what should you do?" ”

The little girl didn't hesitate anymore this time, and said without thinking, "Then I won't eat McDonald's tomorrow night." ”

The young mother said, "Okay, then you have to talk and count?" ”

The little girl said: "Hang yourself on the hook, and you won't change your tune for a hundred years!" ”

The mother and daughter duo pull the hook.

The young mother smiled comfortably and said, "Okay, let's take the book and go pay." ”

The little girl picked up the book and was about to leave, but her eyes were attracted by another book, saying, "Mom, I still want this book, "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales". ”

The young mother said, "If you don't eat McDonald's tomorrow night, you will only be able to buy this book with the rest of your money?" ”

The little girl reacted very quickly, she said, "Mom, I won't eat McDonald's the night after tomorrow, is that okay?" The inquiring eyes were full of longing.

The young mother smiled more comfortably and said, "Yes, Mommy promises you." Let's go pay the money. ”

The mother and daughter happily left the bookshelf with two books.

Seeing the mother and daughter leave, I went up to the second floor again.

Looking at it, I found that there are still a lot of people who spend money on books.

A pair of young men and women who bought books caught my attention again.

The man is a handsome guy, and he can be regarded as a handsome guy compared to me.

Moreover, this handsome guy is actually the young man I was asking at the door just now.

The woman is a beautiful woman, not comparable, but she looks quite beautiful.

The handsome guy said: "If you like Li Bai's Tang poems, then buy this Li Bai poetry selection." ”

The beauty said, "Sure! ”

I was suddenly happy!

There are people here who like the poems of my master, the poet fairy Li Bai!

The handsome guy said, "Then let's go, go pay the bill." ”

The beauty said: "Li Bai's poetry selection must be bought." But there are also Du Fu and Bai Juyi, Li Bai's contemporaries, I like them all, I have to buy them? ”

The handsome guy said: "This Li Bai poetry selection is not cheap anymore, if you buy something else, then ......"

The beauty said, "Then you don't care, I'll pay for it myself." ”

The handsome guy immediately said with a smiling face: "I didn't mean that." I mean, buy so much, do you have time to look at it? ”

The beauty said: "Whether you have time to watch it or not, it's a matter of time, whether you buy it or not, it's a matter of attitude." I just love it! You say, buy it or not? ”

The handsome guy hurriedly laughed and said, "Buy, buy, buy!" As long as you like it, if you want the stars in the sky, I will buy them for you! ”

The beautiful woman kissed the handsome guy and said, "It's pretty much the same!" Li Bai, that is the Taibai Star in the sky, if I want it, you have to take it off for me! ”

The two of them looked through the bookshelf next to them for a while, took a copy of "Du Fu's Poetry Appreciation" and "Selected Poems of Bai Juyi", and went to the cashier to pay the bill.

Based on this, I judged that the handsome guy must be chasing that beauty. That beauty is a tasteful woman and knows that she likes Tang poetry. And that handsome guy is probably an idiot who doesn't understand anything, just to please the beauty.

But anyway, some people like my master's poems, and they love birds and houses, and they also bought the poems of my master's friends Du Fu and Bai Juyi, which is also a good thing!
