"When was it published? Why haven't I seen it?"
"I forgot which issue it was."
Xiao Jiahua laughed it off and continued to check the goods with Manager Xu.
Be careful with what you say and what you do, be careful with what you say and what you do, she silently warned herself.
.
At noon, Liang Gaofeng took out his food coupons and invited Xiao Jiahua to have dinner at a state-owned restaurant.
Xiao Jiahua declined: "Thank you Comrade Liang for your kindness. I need to go to the Hua Bookstore first to buy some study materials for my son."
"What? You're married and have kids?"
Liang Gaofeng couldn't believe it.
Xiao Jiahua did not hide it from him, "Yes, we will get married after graduation."
Liang Gaofeng asked persistently: "You are married, why do you still live in Qinghe Village? What kind of person is your husband? Is he good to you?"
Xiao Jiahua used an unhappy look to remind him that these questions were beyond the limit.
Liang Gaofeng: "I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao, I just think you are too young, you just graduated, you shouldn't get married so early."
Xiao Jiahua: "Marriage is because you meet the right person, not because of age or size."
Xiao Jiahua once again reminded them of their relationship, "I hope Comrade Liang will give me more guidance in the future work."
The Hua Bookstore was not far from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. In order to save time, Xiao Jiahua spent fifty cents and took a human-powered black tricycle.
The Hua Bookstore in the county town is very grandly built, with two floors.
There are book counters on the first floor, and large tables are arranged at intervals, filled with all kinds of books.
The readers were all dressed in green military uniforms and Zhongshan suits, looking clean and decent. They gathered around the table and carefully flipped through the books.
Everyone held their breath and watched with great concentration. Even though people were coming and going, there was not a single noise.
You don't need a ticket to buy books. Xiao Jiahua quickly selected the books according to Bai Keyan's list.
When she went to pay the bill, two primary school students wearing red scarves ran in from outside and bumped into her accidentally.
"I'm sorry, sister." The red scarf immediately apologized softly.
They were not allowed to make any noise. The two children bowed and kowtowed, their eyes sincere and polite.
Xiao Jiahua waved his hands, smiled and mouthed "it's okay", but he was very shocked inside.
She noticed that two elementary school students had library cards hanging around their necks and were holding the illustrated version of How the Steel Was Tempered in their hands.
Just now, Xiao Jiahua also wanted to buy this set of picture albums and take it back to teach Xiao Dabao that in life, "one should not regret wasting one's youth, nor feel ashamed for being mediocre."
But the salesperson with the armband told her that the illustrated version of this set of books could only be borrowed on the second floor.
The reading room on the second floor of the Hua Bookstore is only open to people with local household registration.
A small library card invisibly reminds her of the distance between the city and the countryside.
Xiao Jiahua was born in Shanghai in his previous life, so he knows better than anyone the gap between the “haves” and the “haves”.
At this moment, she seemed to have seen through the world and just wanted to live in a quiet corner of Qinghe Village, eating and waiting for death.
Now, she realized that if she wanted Xiao Dabao and Xiao Shitou to have a better future, she had to move three times and provide the children with a better growth environment.
She had to find a way to get into the city at the right time.
Most importantly, she needs to make money.
