20. Buy books

Under the incandescent light, the Xinhua bookstore is bright and clean, and inside the transparent glass counter, there are some textbooks from primary school to junior high school and high school.

At this time, children only have textbooks to study, and there are no workbooks.

Zhang Yu wanted to buy a set of first-grade textbooks and go home to study for Xiaobao in advance, but she was afraid that the school would send new ones when the school started, and the school would start in a month, which felt a bit of a waste of money.

If it was in the later life, this money would not be a problem for Zhang Yu at all, but now, the family is thin! She can't buy whatever she wants, she has to be careful with her calculations.

Zhao Chunhua saw Zhang Yu frowning in front of the cabinet for a long time.

"What's wrong? Any questions? ”

Zhang Yu said his thoughts.

"I'll buy it for Xiaobao." Zhao Chunhua said.

"It doesn't matter if you buy it or I buy it, there's no need to waste this money."

"Isn't there a need for a child! Others can be saved, but children can't be saved in terms of learning. ”

"If you can borrow the old one, you can save money without delaying Xiaobao's study."

"That's right! I didn't think of that! ”

"So, can you borrow it?"

"You forgot? My mom is a teacher, and although he teaches junior high school, some of the teachers in their school teach elementary school! ”

"That's right! If you don't say it, I forgot that your mother is a teacher, and if it is convenient, I can borrow not only the textbooks of the first grade of primary school, but also the Chinese and mathematics of the fifth grade. ”

"Erniu is about to enter the fifth grade, do you want her to study in advance?"

"Yes, two people study together, there is that atmosphere!"

"Your sister doesn't want to go to school, but she is quite concerned about her younger siblings going to school."

"Do you think that I am not self-motivated, but I am very demanding of my younger siblings?"

"You are not unmotivated, you just take all the responsibility yourself, which is even more admirable."

In the end, Zhang Yu only bought a wall chart of the Chinese Pinyin diagram and a Xinhua dictionary.

Many other storybooks, she felt the money in her pocket, reluctant to buy them.

Children from poor families can't afford to read, and they didn't understand it before, but after the experience of not having enough to eat in the past few days, she can realize it.

Zhang Yu: "Have you bought all the things you need to prepare at home today?"

"It's all ready, today we tried to steam a pot of steamed buns to sell, and there was not a single left, and their confidence was also inspired, and now, Yingzi and Erniu are preparing the steamed buns to be sold tomorrow morning at home!"

Zhao Chunhua was surprised.

"You guys are quite efficient, you just came yesterday, and today you bought your belongings and started trading."

"If you don't move quickly, you can't sit and eat empty!"

They walked out of the Xinhua bookstore.

"Do you know where the library is? I'd like to borrow some storybooks for them to see. ”

"The library is a bit far from here, I'll take you there on my bike tomorrow after dinner!"

"Okay, it's not bad for this day."

With that, they walked towards where Zhang Yu and the others lived.

Zhang Yu: "Brother Chunhua, how long have you been paying this rent?"

"Pay for half a year!"

"I added some household things, and now I only have more than 100 quick money left in my hand, keep it for backup, and when I earn some money, I will pay back the rent that your family helped pay in advance."

"You don't have to pay it back."

"How can you not pay it back? It should be returned, it must be returned. ”

Zhao Chunhua shook his head.

"You're pretty stubborn, I really can't help you."

When he arrived at the door, Zhao Chunhua leaned over and asked Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, your stomach is not uncomfortable now, right?"

Xiaobao touched his stomach.

"If you don't say it, I forgot about it, I don't feel it anymore."

"Thank you Brother Chunhua for the medicine you prescribed." Zhang Yu reminded.

"The eldest sister accompanies you out for a walk, and it also has an effect, it is a double effect."

"Thank you, Brother Chunhua, and thank you, eldest sister." Xiaobao said obediently.

Zhao Chunhua touched Xiaobao's head with a smile, waved goodbye and left.

Zhang Yu and Xiaobao entered the courtyard, Yingzi and Erniu had already steamed two pots of steamed buns, the third pot and the fourth pot were steaming on the two stoves, and they were still busy preparing the fifth pot and the sixth pot in their hands.

"Wow! You two girls are very efficient! We've been out for so long, and you've made so many steamed buns? ”

Yingzi said while facing each other: "Call us girls, as if you are much older than us."

"A big day is a big day."

Yingzi said worriedly: "There are too few steamed buns, these are all steamed, where to put them?"

Zhang Yu looked at it, and the two buckets and a dustpan were full.

"Who said I was spending money when I was buying these things? Now you know there's not enough to do! ”

"Okay, good, no one is as good as you, you know in advance that you can use it, if it's not enough, I'll buy it tomorrow."

Zhang Yu put down the things in her hand and asked Erniu to continue to teach Xiaobao to read and write, and she came to meet.

Erniu washed her hands, saw the Chinese pinyin and dictionary she bought, and said excitedly: "Sister, great, I've always wanted a Xinhua dictionary, and this Chinese pinyin, it's so useful to teach Xiaobao to learn."

Zhang Yu said while closing his face: "If it is useful, teach it well, after Xiaobao starts school, it is up to you whether he can come out on top in the class." Also, don't think that you had a good academic performance in Dongyang Primary School before, so you were slack, the level of students in the city is generally high, you have to maintain good grades here, you have to work hard, I asked Brother Chunhua to help you borrow a set of fifth-grade textbooks, so that you have time to study in advance, so as not to keep up with others when school starts. ”

Two chicks surprise.

"Really, Brother Chunhua can help me borrow a fifth-grade book?"

"Of course, his mother is a teacher, and there is a way, not only yours, but also Xiaobao's textbooks can be borrowed."

"You just ran into him?"

"Yes! He took us to the hospital and prescribed two pills for Xiaobao to take, so Xiaobao felt better. ”

The second girl glared at Xiaobao again.

"See if you dare to eat more in the future? Net troublemakers. ”

Zhang Yu: "Okay, he has already suffered, don't talk about him anymore, as a sister, you have to love more and blame less."

The second girl sat in front of Xiaobao.

"Xiaobao, I'm not as indulgent as my eldest sister, you study hard for me, I can't complete the homework assigned every day, and I'm not allowed to eat."

Xiaobao looked at Zhang Yu with blank eyes.

"Eldest sister, second sister, such a rule is unreasonable."

Zhang Yu kneaded his face.

"I give full authority to the second sister in terms of study, and whatever she says is what."

"But not being allowed to eat is something that will affect my body, shouldn't the eldest sister take care of it?"

"If you don't eat, you won't starve. If you can't finish your homework every day and starve every day, that's your own problem, and you should suffer the consequences. ”
