Chapter 10 Bookstore

Zhang Jin was lucky, as soon as he got off Dad Zhang's motorcycle, there was a bus that was about to start to go to the county, and there were not many people, er, at least he could squeeze on it.For students in towns and villages, when you go to school, you don’t have to think about getting a seat. It’s good if you can get on the bus. Otherwise, you have to wait for half an hour to an hour, and you don’t know the next bus. Can you squeeze in.

After standing on the bus all the way, Zhang Jin finally arrived at the platform where the school was located when Zhang Jin felt that her legs and feet were a little stiff and it was not her.When I got off the car, I saw the time in the street shop, and found that it was an hour earlier than usual.This is really rare.

You should know that in the past, when school started on holiday, unless you set off in the morning, otherwise, in the afternoon, even if you left home at one o'clock, you would not be at school until four or five o'clock.

Thinking that there is no need for self-study tonight, the braised pork and vegetables in the backpack were also in the car. Because it was too crowded, he was afraid of being squeezed, so he put it into the space. When he just got off the car, he checked it. There is no rush to go back to the dormitory right now.

Of course, the main reason is that it is too far from the station to the boys’ dormitory where he lives. It takes more than half an hour to go back and forth. A good location to enjoy it.

The No. [-] Middle School in Dongyang County, formerly known as Realization Middle School, is the first school in Beijin City that includes elementary school, junior high school and high school.Every time I return from a holiday, the flow of people is the largest.

But at this moment in 98, as a second- and third-tier prefecture-level county, Internet cafes have not yet become popular, and game halls are only for those so-called "bad students", and billiard rooms are not "good students". Got it!Therefore, for students who don't have many entertainment activities, the most visited place is the audio book store where you can borrow all kinds of miscellaneous books and watch a movie.

The audio-visual store that Zhang Jin knew was the largest nearby bookstore that included both books and stereos. It was divided into two parts: the audio-visual store and the bookstore.

In the past, it was overcrowded during holidays, except for primary school students.Of course, there are also individual senior elementary school students who are different.

But most of them are boys and girls from junior high school and high school. They either rent discs to watch Hong Kong movies here, or borrow books to go back to school to watch, or they don’t want to spend money, so they take a copy and squat in a corner to watch it, etc.

Because there are not many such places nearby, under normal circumstances, if you don’t go early, it is difficult to find a good book, even if you want to go in smoothly.

Of course, under the influence of his grandfather, Zhang Jin prefers to read classics, even if they are not classics, they must be written by the author.Under normal circumstances, such books are the least borrowed in bookstores. Like Fengshen Yanyi and Journey to the West, everyone knows that they are good-looking, but not everyone likes to spend time studying some of the ancient meanings in classical Chinese.

It's just that no one competed with him for the books he wanted to borrow, but there were too many people in the bookstore, and someone didn't have much money to give a deposit, so it was rare to have the opportunity to see the books.

This time it was more than an hour earlier than usual, so Zhang Jin naturally went to the bookstore non-stop. If there were fewer people, he would be lucky.

Perhaps it was because the long vacation had just ended, and many people hadn't recovered from their freedom, so when I went to the bookstore, there were not many people reading books in the bookstore except for a few watching movies.

Glancing at the big clock hanging on the wall of the bookstore, it was [-]:[-] pm, at least eight hours of reading time before the dormitory closed at [-] pm.

Eight hours, that's a lot!Zhang Jin straightened her chest and walked in.I have been to this bookstore many times, and I am half acquainted with the boss. If you know how to rub a book, you can rub it for half an hour at most, and the boss will chase you away. But if you pay to read here, the boss will also provide you with A stool, even when it's meal time, will help to order.

Zhang Jin didn't want to waste time, and she lost face. It would be embarrassing to be kicked out!So when I entered the door, I proudly gave the shop owner fifty cents and walked in.

The borrowing of books here, under normal circumstances, is only [-] cents a day for a book. Of course, that is if you have a deposit and take it away for a long-term reading, and you can read it on the spot for at least three days. It will be a little more expensive, almost equivalent to [-] cents a day.

Zhang Jin gave fifty cents, and the boss would refund him twenty cents when he left.

There were few people. After Zhang Jin took the book, she moved the stool and found a "throne" that would not be affected by people watching the audio, and it was brightly lit. At night, she just sat on the 'throne' under the lamp, and looked at it carefully with her head down. stand up.

Zhang Jin's reading is different from that of many people who read novels at a glance. She can't wait to finish a novel in 3 minutes.In fact, after reading it, you can roughly know what the novel is about, and the author's writing techniques and writing essence are not felt at all.

He always reads a book word by word, and he likes to take notes when he meets someone he doesn't know or thinks the artistic conception is beautiful.Then go back and read carefully.This point is naturally also influenced by Grandpa Zhang. After all, if you read ancient medical books, if you can see ten lines at a glance, it is basically the same as reading a book with words. Sometimes you even have to read books in traditional characters to understand what the medical books themselves are explaining.

Just like the masters read the Huangdi Neijing.It is even said that many ancient medical books are interpreted by one person, and those who are blessed by nature are often superior to others because of their unique interpretations, and then become miracle doctors

Because Zhang Jin was oppressed by her grandfather since she was a child, she felt a little rebellious in her heart. Even if she would read medical books every time she went home, she would basically never have the idea that she would become a genius doctor in the future.Although he hasn't made up his mind about what to do in the future, he feels that he won't be a doctor, and what he has learned is the most he can know about what kind of disease, what kind of medicine he needs to take, how to do that medicine to be more effective for the condition, etc. wait.

However, Zhang Jin's understanding of literature is better than others, based on the light of reading medical books since childhood.At least in the examinations on ancient poetry and classical Chinese after junior high school, he has never failed in this.

The book Zhang Jin read this time is "Shan Hai Jing". In fact, his grandfather also has this book, and it is a complete set of ancient editions.But every time I'm at home, I don't have time to read medical books, let alone such 'miscellaneous books'!

The outer cover of this book of Shan Hai Jing is a little old, it may be bought by the boss at some old book stall.There are also no annotations under some new editions that already exist, but the classical Chinese of this book is not too simple compared to the language of ancient medical books. In Zhang Jin's eyes, it is like reading a vernacular fairy tale.

After looking down for about an hour, Zhang Jin felt that her neck was a little sore. She raised her head and wanted to shake it twice, but she met a pair of curious eyes.

"Hehe, can you understand this book?" The person who asked the question was none other than the owner of the store, a young man who looked to be in his 30s and was very scruffy from the outside.

Zhang Jin looked at the other party in surprise, and said after a while, "I can understand it." But the expression on his face was clearly saying, 'Don't you understand? '

The boss understood this, and immediately felt a little bored and embarrassed on his face. He touched his nose, turned around and said, "Awesome, look, look!"

Zhang Jin blinked, looked for a while at the main road not far from the door, and then looked down again.

For those who do not understand classical Chinese, it is really boring to read the Classic of Mountains and Seas or directly read the interpretation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but for those who can understand it, it is very interesting.

Zhang Jin is like this, and the more he reads, the more he enjoys watching, forgetting to sleep and eat.It wasn't until the boss turned on the lights and delivery people started coming in and out of the store that Zhang Jin realized that it was already night before he knew it.

Twisting my stiff neck to look at the big clock on the wall, it turned out that it was 07:30 in the evening before I knew it.

"Let's have some food!" The boss sitting at the cash register said to Zhang Jin while eating the takeaway fried rice. The embarrassment of the afternoon was gone on his face, and there was still a little admiration.After all, people can read classical Chinese with relish and forget the time.This is not something ordinary people can do.

Even in the mind of the boss, such a person is an awesome character.

Zhang Jin thought of the braised pork that she had hidden away, and then looked at the people in the bookstore who were "studying hard" because there was no extra deposit like him, and shook her head. If she had time to go out to eat, she might as well read a few more books .

But the smell of rice in the room is also very seductive, at least he feels hungry right now!If you don't want to get a fruit to eat first, you need to peel the eggs.Then when the shop owner lowered his head and other people were not paying attention to him, he pretended to be digging out something and took out a bright red apple from his bag.

"Crack!" Zhang Jin didn't bother to observe how beautiful the apple was, how it looked like a legendary fairy fruit. In short, it felt like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. Under the light, it was shining brightly. After taking a bite of Halo's big apple, a refreshing fruity aroma filled the entire space, and even the video hall next door, which was full of smoke, seemed to be permeated by the sound in an instant.

It looks delicious!The shop owner looked at the apple Zhang Jin took out, and suddenly felt that his fried rice with shredded lean pork was as hard to swallow as pig food.

Others who also ate takeaway were similar to him.

Zhang Jin lowered his head unconsciously, eating the fruit while reading the book, because he was afraid of getting the book dirty, he ate very slowly.

until a voice woke him up.

"Hey buddy, where did you buy your apples?"

Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment and raised his head, facing a young man who was very angry, at least 1.8 meters tall, with a strong figure, and his arms exposed in a sleeveless sweater were full of muscles. He looked like a mature man in his twenties. face.

"Hey?" Seeing Zhang Jin, the man was startled, "It's you, I know you, class [-] and [-], right? I'm in class [-] and [-]. Your "Death of Zhu Yunwen", the Chinese teacher I talked about it a lot in class, you are famous!" He looked down and saw the book in Zhang Jin's hand, grabbed it and flipped through it a few times, his face was distorted, "No wonder it's so awesome, it's so good Students are different, you can read all these books, but I don’t even understand what it means.”

Since they are from the same school, it is impossible for Zhang Jin not to know each other, let alone the class next door, or even a student of the same teacher.

It's just that the person in front of me doesn't have a good reputation at school!Zhang Jin thought that not long ago, this student was criticized by the principal through the school. It is said that it was because he led people to beat people outside the school and injured them.Immediately, I couldn't bear the slightest resistance in my heart, because Ya and he were not on the same level at all!

The so-called person who knows the current affairs is a hero. Although Zhang Jin has a face of "I am very proud", he actually knows how to judge the situation.Otherwise, with his face, he wouldn't have been beaten up by people who saw him unhappy!Boys at school fight, and it's never trivial, or even unreasonable.

Zhang Jin heard about this person from the dormitory. It is said that he is from the city, and he was transferred from the prestigious No. [-] Middle School. The reason for the transfer was not because he was not good at studying, but because he really liked fighting.

"I, my grandfather gave it to me. I don't know where I bought it." Zhang Jin took one out of her bag and handed it over, "There's only one left."

While talking, Zhang Jin decided in his heart that starting from today, he will never eat fruit at school again.

"Uh! How embarrassing that!" Wang Zishuai was startled by the sudden approach of the big apple, and then saw the white, tender, slender and energetic hand holding the big apple under the light, and was blinded for a while. measures.

Zhang Jin smiled softly: "It's okay..." Before he finished speaking, the apple in his hand was quickly taken away, as if it would be gone later.

"Thank you!" Wang Zishuai showed a row of white teeth, and the apple meat already contained in the white teeth.

Zhang Jin didn't know what to say, but just shook his head.

Wang Zishuai seemed to realize something, and suddenly blushed.He waved his hand and walked to the video hall next to him.

Zhang Jin continued to look down at the book, always feeling that she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
