Chapter 8 Rebirth Buying a Book for the First Time

After 12:30, the sun became hotter and hotter, and there were not many people in the clothing market, but there were a few diners scattered in the food stalls at the gate.

Yan Changqing and the second uncle packed up their things and were going to count the harvest at the door with a sign on the opposite side.

It was the gate with the sign of Tongshu County Public Security Bureau.

I don't know how much money there is, but Yan Erhe's trouser pockets are bulging, which looks too conspicuous and easily attracts malicious eyes, so Yan Changqing suggested to go to the opposite side to check.

Nothing else, just be safe.

The current 'gate' is relatively approachable, even though Yan Erhe felt a little guilty, but Yan Changqing was not guilty, and went to the gate and shouted to the gatekeeper: "Master, can we count some money after entering the gate?"

The uncle cheerfully pointed to the side and back: "Push the car and park it in the yard, go to the room next to me and take your time. That room is the reception area, and there is no one there now. The little guy's strings are pretty good!"

Yan Changqing smiled and thanked: "Thank you for your compliment, sir."

I really pushed the bicycle into the yard, entered the reception desk and began to count the harvest.

Count the banknotes first, and then put the coins into categories. Each category is carefully counted.

Yan Erhe was very depressed, and he discovered a new problem, he was not as good at arithmetic as his nephew, anyway, he was also a person who went to the second grade of elementary school, and he was not as good as someone who has never been to school...

He was already dazzled by the pile of money on the table, and he had no time to think about where his nephew learned arithmetic.

There is really a lot of money, there are more than [-] banknotes for one yuan, which is more than [-] yuan.

Then there are 60 cents, 78 cents... Calculated, there are more than [-] yuan in banknotes, and [-] yuan and [-] cents in coins.

Yan Erhe couldn't hold back his opinion: "Why don't we change places and hang out for a while?"

Yan Changqing despised him: "I'm going to eat now, where is anyone?"

"Why don't we wait until later..."

"Farewell, it's the first time we're going out today, if we go back late, we'll be at a loss if we can't come out in the future."

One sentence made Yan Erhe suppress the greed in his heart.

But Yan Changqing comforted him: "You go back to rest today, and next time we will run farther to the oil field. The people there are very rich, and it is the richest place right now."

"How do you know? I haven't been there either!"

"I just know, don't worry about it, listen to me. You see, now, don't we make money?"

Facts are convincing, and Yan Erhe's full of doubts are not important. He took out a palm-width long pocket sewn in white cloth, and said while putting money in it: "Listen to you, this money is really half of mine?"

"Can I lie to you?" Yan Changqing hurriedly changed his words after finishing speaking. "Whether you consider investing in me or not, let's go back later and ask how much an erhu costs. If mine is broken, there is no way..."

Yan Erhe rushed to answer: "No problem. By the way, I will put the change in my pocket, and I will take you to buy something to eat later?"

"Okay! Save a few more dollars and buy a toy for my cousin later, otherwise it's not easy to borrow a bicycle next time."

"Then... just buy it."

……

The two thanked the gatekeeper and went out of the gate. They bought two large sesame seed cakes on the street. They cost [-] cents each, and the extra-large ones looked bigger than Yan Changqing's face. Fragrant.

After eating a bit dry, Yan Changqing used his eloquence to show off his cuteness at the nearby tea stand and bought five glasses of water for ten cents.

The tea stand was set up in a street shop, a small square table with a few glasses on it, and a square glass block covering the cups.

Originally, the tea that cost three cents a cup, the two of them couldn't drink it well, only knew that the warm tea that had been placed was quite thirst-quenching.

Yan Changqing drank tea and gnawed on cakes, staring intently at the stewed meat on the stewed meat stall next to him, smelling the smell of stewed meat, pretending that he was eating a big meal...it was so delicious!
Yan Erhe looked at the tea stand a little enviously: "If only we lived in the city, we can earn money by setting up a tea stand outside the door!"

Yan Changqing predicted: "This business won't last long."

It really won't last long. When bicycles, tractors, and tricycles become popular, people who go to the city to go to the market can bring more things, and the efficiency of going back and forth will become higher. There will be no business for this small tea stall.

After drinking tea and nibbling sesame seed cakes, the two of them were in the next shop again, planning to spend a lot of money to buy a small green iron toad—the kind that can be wound up, and then the toad will jump up, which is very tall nowadays Toy.

As a result, the price did not come down, Yan Changqing handed over a price, and called Yan Erhe to make a move, saying that the boss would not buy it if he did not agree.

An embarrassing thing happened, the boss really didn't call them.

Yan Changqing hated him deeply, not for his boss, but for himself—it was almost a month after rebirth, why didn't he know how to turn his speech into a skill, increase his persuasiveness, and facilitate bargaining!

It seems that even rebirth can't solve the fact that I can't bargain. I didn't feel it when I was with the villagers before, but now that I'm out of the village, my shortcomings are exposed immediately.

Fortunately, the sun was very hot, and Yan Erhe didn't notice that his nephew's face was getting hot, and he was still muttering: "It's better to buy something else for a few dollars for a broken toad!"

Yan Changqing took the opportunity to answer: "Why don't you buy a schoolbag or something? It just so happens that my cousin is going to go to Yuhong class, so a schoolbag is just right."

"Then buy a schoolbag." Yan Erhe supported.

In the end, the schoolbag also cost a few yuan, but the pencil case was cheap, made of a kind of iron sheet, and it cost less than one yuan.

So I bought a stationery box with the cartoon Monkey King riding the clouds on the surface. I saw a rectangular eraser with small animal pictures printed on it. The price was not high, so I bought two pieces, as well as a pencil and a writing pad.

I also bought a pen and paper for myself, so I can use it when I go back and write down something.

Then the two of them had no more nostalgia for the county seat, and they started to go home under the noon sun—with money on them, they always felt uneasy in their hearts and wanted to go home quickly.

……

When Yan Changqing was awakened by his second uncle, he was already on the streets of Taoshu Town.

Being carried off the bicycle, he immediately felt the soreness of being numb and unable to touch the ground. Holding on to the electric pole by the side of the road, he really wanted to complain, but when he saw Yan Erhe, whose face and neck were flushed, shook his head. He folded his arms and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

The face and neck were exposed to the sun, and the two of them set off early in the morning without wearing straw hats.

The reason why he shook his arms was naturally because he wanted to embrace Yan Changqing who was asleep along the way, and use him as a pillow.

The 20-year-old young man probably just realized the hard work of being an elder, moved his arms silently, and pretended to be nonchalant: "I will return the car later and let's go buy an erhu?"

"I don't know how much it is." Yan Changqing was still a little melancholy. "Actually, I thought we could buy a bicycle soon. It's inconvenient not to have a means of transportation."

"That's easy!" Yan·Transportation·Erhe suddenly became happy. "It's almost the same after a few trips to the county."

This person was quite optimistic, Yan Changqing didn't refute, and felt that his legs and feet were better: "Hurry up and return the car."

Not far away, Yan Changqing called to stop: "Let's go to the buying shop and ask, buy some books."

"You know how to read?" Yan Erhe was surprised. "Or are you going to learn to read?"

"I bought it and put it in the toilet to wipe my butt." Yan Changqing was confident.

I don't want to use bricks, tiles, soil lumps and leaves to pretend to be toilet paper anymore - as soon as I hear it, I know how embarrassing it is, so that although it is very important, other reborns are embarrassed to say it.

Toilet paper is definitely more expensive than waste paper. Yan Changqing is afraid that after buying it back, he will be beaten for wasting it. In rural areas, people buy toilet paper after giving birth to confinement—most women don’t even need the bloodshed every month. For toilet paper, only one kind of sanitary belt, made of cloth, can be used after washing.

Yan Erhe didn't object. Whoever earns the money has the final say. He only offered advice: "See if there are any word recognition books with pictures. You can buy them and go back to learn. Let me tell you, you have to study hard, don't be like I, illiterate, go out like a fool..."

Yan Changqing really wanted to say, second uncle, you don't need to say more, I understand the truth!

By the way, you are only 20 years old now, and you have time to learn now, why do you only know about me?
Besides, didn’t my grandfather tell you that when you were young?Why are you only in first grade...maybe second grade level?
Therefore, it is said that human beings have not occupied the entire universe until now, entirely because human beings are essentially "higher animals that do not listen to persuasion".

The previous generation used their personal experience to tell the next generation the lesson, but most of the next generation will go through the lesson again, and they will not know what the previous generation said until they have experienced it themselves, so they quickly tell the next generation Seniors, what happened?
Thousands of years have passed, and this matter has been in such an endless cycle. Every generation will say that reading is very important, but if you don't study well, you still don't study well!

This is Yan Changqing's important insight about humanities and history standing at the door of the purchase shop.

Immediately, he stepped in, ready to buy books—the first time he bought a book in his rebirth, it was for toilet paper, what a crap thing it was!

……

The name of the shop is called the shop, and it should be considered a product of the times.

Everything is collected here, all kinds of waste products, as well as grains and beans.

Yan Changqing stood next to a large pile of soybeans, and discussed the price with the aunt and proprietress on the reclining chair behind, but the aunt was very straightforward: "Where are there any books, they are all waste newspapers and boxes. Someone came to buy it. You go and search for it to see if there is a suitable one and find it yourself!"

Facts proved that they were right. The two went into the backyard and searched for a long time, but they couldn't find a complete newspaper.I found two and a half books, because there was no front or back of the torn ones, Yan Changqing could barely see that one book should be "Seven Heroes and Little Five Righteousness" based on the content.

The other book should describe the miserable life in the old society. Yan Changqing compared the life in the book and felt that he is indeed happier now than he was then, but he is not interested in continuing to read. Books with no beginning and no end are the most annoying , Go back and be toilet paper!

I chose a few more homework books that I had written for students, but the proprietress didn't weigh them, and asked for [-] cents.

The price of waste paper is still quite high at present, as long as twenty cents is less.

The two planned to buy some meat when they came out, but it was a pity that the meat stalls in the town had closed their stalls long ago, and now there were only a few flies on the stalls.

As for the stewed pork in the restaurant, hehe, I just made such a small amount of money, so let's put it down!

……

When I arrived at my aunt's house, my aunt saw my younger brother and nephew whose necks were flushed from the sun, and started talking non-stop: "Erhe, you are a fool! The sun is so poisonous, you won't leave late, look at the tanned What's the matter? Hurry up and wash up. Have you eaten...are you full? I'll make you a poached egg..."

After the two of them washed it, Yan Erhe smiled and took out the pencil case he bought for the child. The aunt who had just stopped nagging started a new round: "Who asked you to buy things, and how much did it cost? Where did you buy them?" , can you retreat or not..."

After talking for a while, she was tired, and looked at her brother who listened humbly and sighed: This brother is also a talent, he listens carefully to everything the family says, and doesn't refute you, but he finishes listening, What should I do in the future...

He is also a master who is mad at others!
