I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 134, Teaching Qin Huairu to Read

"That's right, team leader, you even designed a bathroom in the master bedroom. To be honest, I'm really envious."

Xia Lan also picked lemons.

Qin Huairu, who was silent all the time, realized how happy she was at this time.

Even Chen Xiaoxian and the others are so envious. It can be seen how avant-garde and convenient it is to design a bathroom in the master bedroom for many years.

"Toilet flush toilet, running water, plus this door, you are too good, team leader, so that the bathroom will not smell at all"

After Zhang Qiancheng commented, he said all the advantages of the bathroom.

In this era, many places are public toilets, and there are very few private toilets.

It's not uncommon to have a toilet seat, and it's a surprise with the addition of a flushing design.

But tap water can be added, then the whole combination is combined, and this is the real way to enjoy life.

For many years, he smiled and said:
"These are very simple architectural applications. After you have seen them, you can go back and design them yourself, and find a decorator to renovate them yourself."

"It's only September, and there are still two months before November, so there's still time."

After entering November, the capital will enter winter, when the weather will be cold, it will not be suitable for decoration.

So, if you want to renovate the house, you have to do it as soon as possible.

Chen Xiaoxian and the others nodded repeatedly when they heard the words.

Indeed, they can design their own, but they are also greedy for tap water.

"Tap water is also simple. You dig a well at home, and then you can buy an automatic water pump for 13 yuan from me."

After hearing this for many years, Hu Shufen asked curiously, "Team leader, what about the water pipe? Why does your faucet look like it's made of copper?"

puff!

Qin Huairu couldn't hold back, and suddenly burst out laughing.

As a result, everyone looked at her, causing her to blush immediately.

Hu Shufen was a little displeased, but she didn't show it. She didn't understand why Qin Huairu suddenly laughed. Did she say something wrong?

After many years, she glared at Qin Huairu and explained:
"This is not copper, but bamboo, to be precise, it is a bamboo root, a gadget I made myself."

The faucet switch is a very simple device, and copper or iron metal products are the best.

But this thing is too expensive, and it won't be able to be used for many years.

Even if there is iron, he can't make a faucet. After all, you have to have the corresponding equipment to make it.

However, the skill level of ancient craftsmen is very powerful.

There was a time in his previous life when he watched some videos of carving techniques and fell in love with them.

Therefore, I also spent time studying and carved a lot of gadgets.

Later, because of the popularity of the videos of building houses with bare hands in foreign virgin forests, the research on mortise and tenon technology has been started for many years.

Building houses in the wild has not been like those foreigners for many years. They buy ready-made water pipes and the like, but directly build them by themselves.

He was born in construction, so he is very good at building wooden houses.

It's just that his videos didn't catch on and he didn't make much money.

Sometimes, he feels that his luck is really bad.

He obviously started with a good hand, but he was beaten badly by him. He knows a lot of things, but none of them can make him achieve his goal of honorable retirement.

The main thing is to follow the trend or something, and then put all the savings in it.

The legendary deity who was taken advantage of is him.

Of course, it was precisely because of these experiences that he was able to create a comfortable living environment for himself in this era.

Hu Shufen blushed immediately. It turned out that the faucet was not made of copper, but made of bamboo roots.

Awkward!
Chen Xiaoxian and the others gasped in amazement, and stared closely at the faucet.

Only to find that it has been brushed with special tung oil for many years, which makes the faucet look very realistic.

But should I say it or not, this faucet is really beautiful.

"Group leader, is this faucet for sale? I want one, no, two."

After reading it, Chen Xiaoxian was the first to speak.

Zou Fangyi and the others quickly followed, expressing that they wanted the faucet, even if it cost money.

"There is no need for money. You can find the right bamboo root and follow me. However, for materials like tung oil, you can either pay for it yourself or buy it yourself."

Helping them make it for free is originally a matter of benefit and no cost, and there is no loss for many years.

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoxian and the others were very happy.

They all said there was no problem.

The house visit here is almost over.

The small room next door was so small that everyone just looked at it and left.

After sending Chen Xiaoxian and the others away, he entered the inverted room after many years and began to decorate his study.

The big book case was moved in, and then several large bookshelves had to be arranged on the three walls, and at the same time, a batch of books had to be purchased and enriched.

Books are not for decorating the house, but for his own needs.

In his previous life, he had read a lot of miscellaneous books, especially during his ten or twenty years of university and translation work, he read a lot of books from ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

"Xiao Ru, let's go and buy books with me."

After looking around the slightly empty study room, he said to Qin Huairu who was still busy scrubbing the big book case for many years.

The latter was stunned, and then panicked: "But I can't read, so I can't help."

"Who is born literate? Let's go, I will take you there, and I will choose some suitable books for you. In the future, I will teach you how to read."

"Really? Brother Anian, are you willing to teach me how to read?" Qin Huairu asked in surprise when he heard the words.

All along, she just graduated from the literacy class, and she has always had a low self-esteem when it comes to learning.

Especially seeing her getting better and better over the years, while she was proud, her sense of inferiority also became stronger.

When she is free, she also wants to read and read, especially when Xu Xiaoqian and the others are doing their homework and reading, she will come over to them.

I only memorize one or two words each time, and after this period of time, I have memorized more than ten words.

But still can't write.

Although she has never despised her in this regard for many years, she even carefully maintained her self-esteem in this regard.

She was very moved, but also wanted to be closer to him.

But she didn't dare to teach her how to read for many years. She wanted to do it by herself, and she was afraid of exhausting him. After all, he was usually very busy.

"Why not?"

After many years of smiling, he didn't take it seriously, waved his hands and said:

"Let's go, let's go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy books."

At the door, Xu Weidong, who was playing with his little friend, heard that he was going out, so the little guy hurried over:
"Third Uncle, Third Uncle, I also want to go to Xinhua Bookstore."

"Why are you going to the bookstore? Stay at home and talk about it when we come back."

The little guy Xu Weidong immediately pursed his mouth and looked at his third uncle dissatisfied.

"Third Uncle, don't you love me anymore?"

"Your ass is itchy, right? Come on with me? Come on, let me see if I don't fix you."

Swish!
Seeing his third uncle looking for a broom, he ran away, and disappeared after a while.

Short legs, but not slow running.

Without the annoying little guy, Qin Huairu was pushed out of the courtyard with his bicycle for many years.

Xinhua Bookstore was born in the sound of artillery fire during the liberation of Beiping. Its establishment started the journey of "Golden Street is full of books, and culture enriches Beijing".

In [-], the bookstore moved from a simple sales department to a four-story building. With the expansion of the business area, it became the largest bookstore in the country and even in Asia at that time with the most varieties and the most abundant storage.

The bustling Wangfujing Street is full of people.

Many years and Qin Huairu came to Xinhua Bookstore, there is a place to park bicycles at the door.

There is a special person to look after it, and a fee of [-]% is charged.

The fee is not expensive, but there are some pitfalls.

Walking into Xinhua Bookstore, there are many people inside, most of them come here to read books, and there are quite a few people who buy books.

There is a large bookstore with four floors in total, and the books in it are extremely vast.

Qin Huairu, who came here for the first time, was very nervous, looking at those people who were reading with relish, her eyes were full of complex emotions such as envy and inferiority.

Many years also noticed her eyes, but did not say anything.

For some things, she had to come out on her own, and no one else could help.

I searched around on the first floor, and selected a few copybooks, Three Character Classics, etc. for Qin Huairu.

At the level of her literacy class, these readings are just right.

There are also books on mathematics, and I found some for her.

After we were done, we came to the second floor.

Most of the books on the second floor are Chinese studies, ancient Chinese, etc., while the third floor is filled with foreign books.

Picking and choosing, he has ordered more than 30 books in total over the years, and these books are enough for him to read for a month or two.

When he was about to leave, he happened to see books about Chinese medicine on the bookshelf, so he stopped immediately.

Then go pick a few and read them.

After walking over, I have been sluggish for many years. Is it so full?

Because the bookshelves are divided into Chinese medicine books according to dynasties, for example, in the Song Dynasty, there were books such as "Yi Xin Fang", "Su Shen Liang Fang", "Puji Benshi Fang", "Hundred Questions of Women's Science", "Women's Encyclopedia of Good Prescriptions" and so on.

Since the Ming Dynasty, there have been many books on Chinese medicine.

For example, in the category of the Ming Dynasty, there were more than ten books on herbal medicine alone, such as Nannan Materia Medica, Materia Medica Mengqi, Compendium of Materia Medica, Chengya Banyao of Materia Medica, Synthetic Essentials of Materia Medica, Alias ​​List of Compendium of Materia Medica, etc.

There are also acupuncture, pediatrics, gynecology, internal medicine and surgery, meridians, etc., with a rough scan, there are hundreds of books.

For many years, he didn't know who the Xinhua Bookstore was founded by capable people, and there were such a complete range of books, so he couldn't miss it.

In his previous life, he had been to many bookstores, but he had never seen so many Chinese medicine books before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

But when he was about to get the books, he realized that the books at this time were not cheap, and he didn't have that much money to buy them.

A "Xinhua Dictionary" published last year was priced at one yuan, which is still very expensive in this era.

Also, "Chinese Bonsai and Its Cultivation" costs [-] cents, and the comic book "Life" published by Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House in May this year is priced at [-] cents.

These prices may look cheap, but they are actually expensive.

"Chinese Bonsai and Its Cultivation" was printed by the Shanghai Factory of Commercial Printing House. It is bilingual in Chinese and English, with a total of 140 two pages. The price is [-] cents, which is not expensive.

But the comic book "Life" is a thin book, about 38 pages, including the pictures, it can be finished in a few minutes.

And "The White-haired Girl" published by the People's Literature Publishing House in 220, with a total of [-] nine pages including appendices, priced at RMB [-].

So, in comparison, the price is of course expensive.

As we all know, pork in this era is only 40 cents a catty, and the average wage of urban workers is only [-] to [-] yuan.

It costs one yuan and forty cents to buy a copy of White Haired Girl, isn't it expensive?
Not to mention, I have bought more than 30 books for many years, and I still have to continue to buy Chinese medicine books, or even scan the goods.

In that case, the budget cannot be met.

So, for many years, I had to choose and choose, and chose more than ten books, such as Ben Cao Tu Jing, Diagnosis of Pulse 32, Convergence of Meridians and Acupoints, Fu Qingzhu's Recompilation of Andrology, and Secret Prescription of Diet.

In this way, the books he needs to buy this time directly reached more than 50 books.

hiss!
With so many books added together, at least five or sixty yuan, right?

But there is no way, he likes reading and wants to learn more.

People can have no academic qualifications, but they cannot be without culture.

When I have nothing to do, I read more books.

Carrying such a large pile of books to the first floor, on the way, people always cast strange glances.

Qin Huairu, who was waiting for him downstairs, was also dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

"Brother Anian, why did you bring so many books down?"

"These are the books I want to buy, let's go, take your few books, we'll pay the bill."

Qin Huairu froze on the spot, so many books have to be bought?How much will it cost?
After regaining her senses, she hurried to follow.

"Comrade, help me figure it out, how much is it?"

The staff at the cashier counter kept hypnotizing themselves after seeing the past for many years: Don't come to me!

But after going to her place for many years, her face turned green.

There are so many books, and it takes a lot of work to calculate one by one.

Moreover, the abacus next to it was originally a decoration, but now it is really coming in handy.

This was the first time someone bought so many books at once, and the people nearby also cast curious eyes when they saw this scene.

So strange!

It took more than ten minutes for the staff to confirm the total cost of more than 50 books.

"A total of 52 yuan in triangular money."

Hearing this for many years, he took out five pieces of Great Unity and a five-yuan banknote and handed them over.

Buying a book is one of the few items that can be purchased without a ticket in this era.

Qin Huairu next to her was startled, asking for so much money?
She wanted to hold it for many years, or forget it, but the latter had already handed over the money to the staff, so she had to shut up.

He took back the change of two yuan and seven cents from the other party, put it in his pocket for many years, then picked up the books and left.

More than 50 books are still very heavy, but to him, this weight is nothing.
