Chapter 192: Visiting the Bookstore
Immediately, Fang Dajun discussed with Zhao Han for a long time, and finally achieved the purpose he came today and returned with a full load!
It was already evening, and Zhao Han insisted on continuing to study the songs, so he didn't force it. He went downstairs by himself and prepared to settle down the guesthouse room first, and then wait to pick up his second sister's get out of class.
"English, here!"
"Hey! Tang Dongmei, why are you still here?" Fang Dajun asked in surprise. He was really afraid of anything he was afraid of. Could it be that he was really lucky today? Or was he not going to the temple on the Bodhisattva's birthday the day before yesterday, so he was circulating in cause and effect and was unhappy in retribution?
"Oh, my dormitory is across the street. I'll be here in a few steps. I'll just take a walk here if I have nothing to do." Tang Dongmei replied shyly.
Fang Dajun thought about it and he really had no other thoughts now. If he was too pretentious, he would seem like something. It would be better to be more generous. Thinking of this, he said, "Well, are you having a meal? Why don't you go together!"
"Okay, I'll treat you!" Tang Dongmei had a little excitement on her pretty face. Her face was not very beautiful, and she even had a faint freckle on both sides of her nose. However, in this era and age, the lethality was a bit great.
The former master accidentally got shot, and Fang Dajun was passively caught in the shooting, but he believed that he could handle this relationship well. In his opinion, feelings and career always have to be divided, but if both sides handle it well, that would be really good.
"Haha, what are you treating me to eat."
"Then what do you want to eat?" Tang Dongmei asked.
In the end, the two only chose a small noodle restaurant across the street, and one of them ordered a bowl of big meat noodles. When eating noodles, they naturally had to talk. But Fang Dajun deliberately avoided the topic and mentioned the tiles, because the cement factory's second phase plan would use a large number of tiles, such as the toilet, which would have to be tiled in high-end and atmospheric tiles. The current market for tiles is too narrow, and even if he is not interested in it in the future, there is only one tiling factory in the county, and there is no choice, so there is nothing to choose.
Now he is just looking for topics and has been talking for a long time. But he has learned a lot of useful information.
I finished eating this noodles. Since I took Li Yulan a few days ago, Fang Dajun has grown confident and regarded himself as a charming man, so he has become a little bit narcissistic than he thinks.
He was afraid that his charm had been too great recently, so he misunderstood. He offered to say goodbye after dinner. The reason was very simple. He wanted to give his second sister living expenses. Okay. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that it was an excuse, and he also intended to let Tang Dongmei feel his attitude.
"Well. Then let's play together next time!" Although Tang Dongmei's tone was calm, she was still too young and she would not hide her disappointment.
Fang Dajun pretended that he didn't see it, and left neatly, and walked very freely, but after turning around, he couldn't help but sigh. If he didn't travel over, if the former master was still there, would there be any subsequent development between the two? There is no answer!
That night! Fang Dajun was empty at the school. It was not until 8 o'clock in the evening, and the school gate was locked. It was dark inside, and it didn't look like there were students in class. This is not possible. Today is Saturday, is it already a holiday?
After searching for someone, I realized that the class was not available on Saturday night and only on Sunday night. That is to say, the school was on holiday this evening. Well, this is actually a common sense issue, but he has been not a student for many years. When he was in high school, the city was reorganized and the evening self-study was cancelled. After all, he was speechless tonight.
Naturally, the girls' dormitory couldn't get into it. I don't know which floor or number of the second sister lives on, nor do I know anyone else. If I ask for help from high school girls for no reason, he may become a hooligan. If he is greeted by the uniformed team, it would be a tragedy.
Wait, I waited downstairs of the girls' dormitory for half an hour, but I didn't see my second sister. Gradually, the lights on the dormitory building began to dim, so he had to turn around helplessly.
Early the next morning, he naturally couldn't get up and slept until midnight. In the village dialect, the sun was shining to his butt, so he reluctantly got up from the bed. When he looked at his watch, he said, "Good guy, he could have lunch."
At about twelve o'clock in the morning, he finally rushed to the Agricultural Bureau and had a meal to eat. The progress of the floor machine was faster than he thought. XCMG was not a bare-stop commander. He had his own small team. After the division of labor, he quickly sorted out the standard drawings, and then divided the parts and placed an order, and finally assembled them. Some of them were purchased directly without parts. Only when the country was in the rising period, there was no real poor county government.
"XCM, I don't think I can use it now, so how about I'm coming in a week."
"Okay, don't worry about prefabricated board orders!" Xu Rong also gave him a reassurance.
Everyone was very happy. After only two or three days of coming out, not only did the workshop director dug up, but the art troupe was also done. The floor machine here is in full swing, and the prefabricated board orders have almost been done. I have to say that his efficiency is amazing. It is indeed a promising young man!
In the afternoon, he went to school to try his luck. If he still couldn't see his second sister, he had to go home and leave this afternoon.
But it’s such a coincidence that he met his second sister before he even arrived at school. Could it be that his bad luck has passed?
"Brother, why are you here?" Fang Yan asked in surprise.
"I've come early. If I can't find you today, I'll plan to go back." Fang Dajun said with a smile. It's not impossible to find someone to ask for his second sister, but he is not a young boy now. He should use some extreme methods less. Anyway, meeting is not a big deal.
"Sister, where are you going alone?"
"I went to Xinhua Bookstore in front to read books. Have you eaten? Why are you here now?"
After a while, Fang Dajun explained, and Fang Yan felt a little embarrassed. She had not explained the class time before, which made her brother lose everything. She waited downstairs for more than an hour in the evening.
Well, this time is actually an exaggeration. Since he has found it, he can’t leave today. He also has holidays every month. Business trips are not considered holidays. If you spend more time outside, you will have more subsidies for one day, uh!
"Let's go and have the meal first."
"kindness!"
I recalled it and it seemed that when he was in the county town, he and his second sister met at night, and it was the first time they were in broad daylight.
After dinner, the two of them rode the road together and wandered around the county, which made him feel like he was traveling on a holiday when walking in a slightly larger town. Unfortunately, the beauty he was with was his own sister.
Finally, he accidentally walked around the bookstore. At this time, Fang Yan said aiqi: "Brother, I want to buy a Xinhua Dictionary!"
"Then buy it, isn't it enough money?" Fang Dajun said casually. In his opinion, it is normal for students to buy extracurricular reading materials.
"Enough, enough money, I just think it's too expensive and I'm reluctant to let it go." Fang Yan explained that she did have a lot of money. Did her father give her living expenses or according to the previous standards. My younger brother gave her twenty yuan last month, and another twenty yuan last month, and this month, thirty yuan. How could she spend so much money?
"Haha, I can't save money on studying. Let's go to the bookstore." Fang Dajun said and pulled his second sister into the store.
The signboard is Xinhua Bookstore, and there is only one in the county. It is quite simple. It has two shops, wooden doors, and the bookcases inside are very limited. The books he holds are basically something he can't understand, and he has no interest in it, so he simply goes straight to the dictionary.
Good guy, there are several versions of this Xinhua dictionary, not only traditional characters, but also simplified characters, but also relatively standard fonts now.
For example, the first edition of the 1953 book in my hand is traditional Chinese, with a price of 15.000 yuan, and the book number: 3 2019. It is a bit strange that the decimal point is accurate to three digits. For example, the revised version in 1954 is priced at 11.000 yuan, and the book number: 3 2021 is also traditional Chinese.
There are dozens of quotes from great men in the 71st edition, and the vocabulary explanations of the times such as "People's Commune" in the 79th edition, and simplified characters also appear, which are even simpler than modern characters. They have been simplified to the point where parents don't recognize each other. They are terrible and later cancelled.
It seems that the dictionary version was destroyed a lot in the special period, and Xinhua Bookstore was also affected and gradually recovered in the mid-to-late 1970s. Unexpectedly, the dictionary in this bookstore was so complete. Suddenly, he thought of the monkey tickets and realized that small places are actually the easiest to keep some good things.
The latest version is the 79th edition. The first dictionary he used in his previous life seemed to be the 1989 edition. The price seemed to be about three yuan, so I can't remember it. I didn't expect that the dictionary is so much more expensive now, and considering the price, it is even more expensive.
"Buy it, there are other books, I'll buy them together if you look suitable." Fang Dajun said generously, and he was also a little jealous of the dictionary on the bookshelf. They were all brand new and old versions. If you buy them, you can collect them into one set and you will probably be able to buy some money, but he no longer looks down on this little money. He can recognize traditional Chinese characters, but he can't write them out. The same is true for simplified Chinese characters. If you learn too much, it will be messy.
Suddenly he had a bold idea, and he could recommend himself to participate in the revision of the next version of the dictionary, adding some fashionable words in advance, such as: cheating, kneeling, magic horse, powerful, friends, hanging silk, cow b, bunker, sofa, shot, etc.
Well, if you really go to recommend yourself, it will be a tragedy, uh!
"Brother, I've chosen it." Fang Yan excitedly hugged two books and a dictionary, and her eyebrows were so happy.
Fang Dajun also came to his senses, got rid of the unrealistic ideas, and took his second sister to settle the bill. Well, before going out, he paid another month's salary. This time it was the salary of the coal factory. If this continues, the country will not be a country!
"It's still so early, where are we going to play now?" Fang Dajun asked. If he had known it was so boring, he might as well go back as soon as possible.
ps: There is another chapter, which will be a little later! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
