Sixty Chapter Bookstore
When Chu Hong was riding her bicycle past Lingshang Village, she saw Gu Ci walking backwards not far ahead.
Chu Hong got off the bicycle and pulled down her scarf. Before she could ask, Gu Ci spoke first: "He is still playing cards at home. It seems that he has no plans to go out for the time being."
Chu Hong looked up at the dark sky and was a little skeptical: "Do you think we guessed wrong? My dad said it might snow today. Who would be willing to pick someone up?"
Then he asked him: "If it were you, would you go?"
Gu Ci looked at her without blinking: "If it were you, I would definitely go to answer it."
At this moment, he looked at himself with light in his eyes and Chu Hong could even see her own reflection in his pupils.
The young and handsome boy has eyes as clear as water, which makes people indulge in them.
Chu Hong: Calm down, calm down, don’t be teased by that little puppy.
He is only nineteen years old this year.
This age is the best cooling patch. Chu Hong no longer had any romantic thoughts in her mind. She looked away and laughed dryly: "Thank you for sending the message. Can you go back first?"
Gu Ci felt very sorry in his heart. He originally thought that his words of confession would make her blush and also bring their relationship to the next level.
I didn't expect her to be so calm.
No, she blushed, and the blush hasn't completely disappeared yet?
This made Gu Ci feel reassured, and he felt full of energy. He immediately said, "I have nothing to do, I'll give you a ride."
Now that they have been together for a long time, he has come to understand Chu Hong's personality. She is kind, smart, and intelligent, and she has her own opinions when dealing with things.
But I am also afraid of being tired and like to sleep.
But he did not feel ashamed of being tired. Even in his dreams at midnight, he missed his previous prosperous days.
Chu Hong really felt tired from riding a bike, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to a delicious meal later."
Since she didn't have to pedal hard and had someone to keep her company, Chu Hong didn't mind the long and bumpy road anymore.
When they arrived at the bus stop, Chu Hong deliberately covered her face with a scarf and motioned for him to follow her.
Fortunately, it was winter and everyone was covering their mouths and noses with scarves to keep warm.
Moreover, when Chu Hong went out today, she deliberately wore her mother's old cotton-padded jacket, which was gray and patched, with her hair loose, and she looked several years older than her actual age.
Gu Ci originally wore a scarf to make himself look better, but now with the scarf around him, only his eyes are exposed, and he doesn't look very outstanding anymore.
The bus stop was simple, with only four shabby long wooden chairs, and there were only the two of them and a middle-aged lady drinking tea inside.
Gu Ci said, "I'll go ask the ticket seller first."
"Let's go together." Chu Hong followed him to the wooden railing and said sweetly, "Sister, Happy New Year. You've worked hard at work."
The conductor subconsciously replied: "Serving the people is not hard."
But this female comrade was very likable, so she was willing to say a few more words: "If you want to go to the city, just wait a little longer and the bus will arrive."
Chu Hong also asked about the closing time of the station and how many trains there were in a day. After finding out everything, she went out.
In the countryside, people have nothing to do. The older ones like to gather under the wall to smoke pipes and brag, while the younger ones either play cards or sleep in. Those who are not married will take advantage of these days to visit relatives and friends and see if there is any partner they like.
But according to the above regulations, none of the factories in the town have holidays, so there are not many people wandering around outside.
The two found that there were three stores opposite the station and they could see the station entrance.
Gu Ci discussed with her: "If you want to go shopping, then go to the supply and marketing cooperative now. I will wait for you in the bookstore and keep an eye on what's going on here."
Chu Hong thought that there was no shortage of food at home, so she didn't feel like wandering around: "I'll go see if there are any books I want."
Bookstores nowadays are also state-owned, and there are only sales clerks chatting with people inside. They just act as if they didn’t see them come in.
Chu Hong first walked around the bookshelf and found that there were really few books available, but the prices were not cheap. She didn't really want to buy books, so she opened a Xinhua Dictionary to read.
She didn't want to waste her money on it, so she was very careful when she looked through it.
Gu Ci followed suit and picked up an agricultural book to start reading, occasionally looking through the door at the station opposite.
The salesperson would glance at them from time to time, and the young man felt embarrassed because he kept looking at him.
If it were any other time, the salesperson would have kicked us out.
But today she hesitated. The salesperson thought that the young man's sister came to see her, and the young man must be interested in her, otherwise why would he peep at her like this?
What puzzled her was that she hadn’t heard that her parents had made an appointment with someone to come and see her today?
But the young man was quite good-looking, and since she was satisfied with him, she naturally wouldn't chase them out.
The young salesperson quietly adjusted his clothes and began to wonder how long he would wait before coming to talk to him.
Is it better to be more reserved or gentle?
Unfortunately, no matter how long she waited, the timid man didn't come over and was still peeking at her.
If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain.
The salesperson brought two small stools over and said softly, "Comrade, it's tiring to stand. Why don't you sit down and read?"
Chu Hong knew that young men and women should not get too close to each other nowadays, so she immediately thanked him: "You are such a helpful comrade, thank you so much."
And a little flattered.
After all, most of the sales clerks nowadays are too arrogant, and slogans prohibiting swearing or hitting people without reason are posted in supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned restaurants.
She was prepared to be kicked out, but she didn't expect the salesperson to be so approachable and have such an early sense of service attitude.
Chu Hong felt particularly regretful that she could not do business privately now, otherwise she would definitely hire this girl to run her store.
Gu Ci didn't expect that his behavior would be misunderstood. He and Chu Hong had eaten their fill before coming out, and since she didn't chase them away, they happily decided to sit here for a while.
It was not yet half past ten when they arrived at the station. They spent two hours reading books in the bookstore before leaving with the salesperson's gloomy face.
Gu Ci also asked in a low voice: "Is it because we only look but don't buy, so people are not happy?"
Chu Hong couldn't think of any other reason, so she could only sigh: "In the final analysis, it's still because the current service attitude is not good enough."
When they came out, they saw a car going in.
After waiting for a while, I saw the few passengers leaving the station.
"I didn't see Chen Mei coming out." Gu Ci said, and then added, "I didn't see Su Hongqi coming over either."
If the bookstore clerk's face wasn't so dark, Chu Hong could go back and continue reading.
Unfortunately, when they left, the salesperson's face was too ugly, so Chu Hong pointed to the noodle shop and said, "Are you hungry? Let's go eat noodles?"
Green vegetable noodles cost 1.2 cents plus two taels of food coupons, while shredded pork noodles cost 3.8 cents plus two taels of food coupons.
Chu Hong ordered two bowls of shredded pork noodles, and rushed to pay and get the wooden tag with the number.
