Chapter 21 Reading and Studying



The next morning, before the stars had even set, Xiao Qi got up.

This time, Su's father did not accompany him, but he still sent him to the car.

Xiaoqi sat in the car, looking out the window at his father who was gradually getting farther away and the village which was gradually getting smaller, and took a deep breath.

There is reluctance, but also the motivation of ambition.

The car was very lively today, and the topic of conversation was very unified. Everyone in the car was talking about Zhang Juan.

There is nothing new in Gumula Village. Whenever something happens, everyone rushes there.

On normal days, if Xiaoqi goes home, many people will come to chat at home. No wonder only Third Grandma came yesterday.

Xiaoqi thinks this is a good idea.

She wasn't used to large crowds either.

"I heard that Zhang Juan has made a lot of money and has hundreds of people under her."

"I heard they sell cosmetics. What kind of cosmetics are so profitable?"

"I heard the plastic shoes on her feet cost three thousand. Not thirty or three hundred, but three thousand. They really cost a lot of money."

"In that case, Zhang Juan is better than the college students."

"Of course not. Zhang Juan said that some college students are working for her."

“…”

Xiao Qi listened to them without changing his expression.

After she got a mobile phone, she also installed WeChat. She looked at Zhang Juan's circle of friends last night and saw a lot of cosmetics, agency work and so on, and a lot of transfer income. However, she didn't look closely. The signal in Gumula Village was not very good. She had to climb to the top floor and hold the phone high and shake it to get a little signal.

She didn't want to join in the conversation, so she closed her eyes and rested.

Planning today's itinerary.

We will arrive in the city around eight o'clock. We will take the things to my aunt's dormitory first. In addition to the bacon brought by my third grandmother, my parents also prepared some vegetables for her, potatoes, taro, cabbage, and braised chicken feet.

Anyway, I carried a big bag.

Su Xiaoqi was glad that she was strong, otherwise these things would be difficult to carry.

After putting her things down, she still wanted to read a book, but time was tight today, so she went to Xinhua Bookstore.

After reading, I still work as a tutor in the afternoon.

In the evening, I will continue to try to memorize the third volume of New Concept English, and I must not neglect calligraphy practice.

The memory and language sense buffs will disappear, but what you remember is yours.

Su Xiaoqi wished she could use one day as two, and thinking of this, she fell asleep swayingly.

After my third grandmother left last night, I accompanied my parents to make winnowing baskets and chatted. The three of us didn’t go to bed until late at night.

When she arrived at the place, she was woken up by someone. She was sleeping so soundly.

After getting off the car, I paid the money and left with my things.

If I didn’t take the bus, it would still take some effort to walk the 20,000 steps.

The people in the village still felt a little sad when they saw Su Xiaoqi walking away with the big bag.

On the one hand, although I envy Zhang Juan who makes money, but in front of me, the little girl with a straight back is inexplicably more respectable.

"Maybe there will be a talented person in the lame family."

"What a capable person! I heard from my daughter Juan'er that the university the lame girl got into is not good. She said that you can get in by paying money. She is just pretending."

"I think college students are good. They look different from us." Driver Dayong shook his cigarette, didn't smoke, just looked at the back.

When Dayong said this, more people agreed with him. After all, Dayong had a car and had worked in big cities before and had seen the world, so his words were still quite convincing.

Xiao Qi hadn't walked far yet and could hear the discussion behind him.

She didn't stop and continued walking forward. Now these discussions had no influence on her.

It was almost 9 o'clock when she arrived at her aunt's dormitory. She was extremely tired and sat down at the dining table in the aisle to rest. She felt a little stupid. If she walked, she wouldn't have to carry anything.

I feel happy just watching the interface go up, the money on it has actually exceeded 10,000.

I was very excited to get one thousand yuan because I had never received so much money before. It was the first time I got ten thousand yuan, and Su Xiaoqi was so excited that she didn't know what to do.

It feels like there are so many, so many fucking things.

She has counted the 0 above several times.

But when she thought of her classmate Zhang Juan, she calmed down a little. If she gave the money to Zhang Juan, the ten thousand yuan would probably not be enough to buy her a pair of shoes and a bag.

It would take my parents a year to earn this much money, but they only get a small bag and a pair of plastic shoes.

Money is worthless if it is sitting on your head.

After resting enough, Xiao Qi saw Lin Min’s mother next door coming back from her stall, so he quickly handed her a bag of vegetables.

Her parents packed a lot of food for her and told her to give one portion to her aunt's colleague, because she said that the boy next door introduced her to the tutoring job.

Su Xiaoqi's parents are both simple and down-to-earth, the kind of people who are very concerned about other people's kindness.

"Auntie, this is what my family grows ourselves, without any pesticides. My parents asked me to bring some for you to try."

Lin Min's mother was shocked. The middle school student next door had never been so polite before. However, after hearing her son talk about the tutoring, she thought that the other party was doing this for this reason, so she didn't act pretentiously and accepted it generously.

Su Xiaoqi also breathed a sigh of relief, but was still worried that the other party would not want it.

I said hello to my aunt and went to the bookstore.

It was much easier to walk now that I wasn't carrying a huge bag.

When we got downstairs to the bookstore, there were a few girls handing out flyers.

Xiaoqi used to work part-time distributing flyers, so he took it when he saw it.

I took a look and saw it was a swimming flyer. The gymnasium had been renovated and the swimming pool was open. You could swim there and you could get a discount if you signed up for a membership.

Instead of throwing it away in front of the little girl, she took it into the bookstore.

She has money now, but doesn't know how to spend it. She still seems to feel that she is poor and nothing has changed. She feels like a fool holding a goose that lays golden eggs.

I can't help but eat the chicken.

Or you have a golden egg but don’t know what to do with it.

Anyway, the only resource I have now is to read more books.

The bookstore environment is not as good as the library. Originally, this Xinhua Bookstore was very large, with two floors. The first floor sold textbooks, and the second floor sold other books. Now there is only a staircase entrance left on the first floor, with some audio-visual products displayed at the entrance. The area next to it has been rented to a clothing store. Less than one-third of the second floor is left, and the remaining space has become an Internet cafe.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the morning. Xiao Qi walked around inside, picked up a book at random from the celebrity biography area, found a small corner facing the window, put his schoolbag on the ground, and then sat cross-legged on the schoolbag.

A little sunlight could come in, and she put the book on her lap.

It's another thick tome.

I flipped through the book when I picked it up just now and found that it has a lot of illustrations.

She likes this kind of illustrated one, which is easy to read.

Because she found that even if she had a memory buff, she still couldn't memorize the English dictionary she borrowed home.

Just like learning the third volume of New Concept English, it is not as easy as the first two volumes.

So her memory is still based on understanding, but it is easier to remember and less likely to forget, rather than having a photographic memory.

So if she brought a difficult and big book now, it would not mean that she would be able to memorize it, it would just be a waste of time.

Xiaoqi was holding a book called "Biographies of the Ten Outstanding Women in History". This kind of book is not very professional and is definitely easy to read. Moreover, the illustrations in it are beautiful and each character has her own beauty.

She thought it would be beautiful to spend a morning reading a book like this.

She also had another thought: last time she read about the inheritance of bamboo weaving art in a bookstore, she actually got a bamboo weaving skill card, so she wanted to try her luck.

All the thoughts disappeared when I opened the book and the sunlight shone on my feet.

Only words with the scent of ink remain.

The first character introduced is Empress Changsun, the most virtuous woman.

The accompanying picture is a woman in ancient costume playing the guqin.
