The old street of the county seat has only a very narrow bluestone road, and pedestrians and bicycles shuttle back and forth, which seems a little crowded.Fortunately, this street is not passable by cars, so there is no need to worry about safety.The bluestone slabs underground, the light can be seen, and if it is a rainy day, it will definitely be slippery.It is said that these potholed bluestone slabs are at least hundreds of years old.Xiao Bai went all the way, and he felt a little out of order.In addition to paying attention to the vicissitudes of the old street, Xiao Bai also deliberately observed the shops on both sides of the old street.There are grocery stores, snack bars, tailor shops, etc., and the business format is basically very primitive."
These things are not interesting, and it is not recommended for my aunt and my brother-in-law to do them."
At the end of a street, it didn't even take half an hour, which shows the narrowness of the county area.Xiao Bai went out shopping today with a task, he wanted to help his aunt think of a new livelihood, but he was very disappointed when he turned around.At present, the total population of Xintun County is only about 200,000, with a small population and low per capita income, so it is not easy to make money."
It's really sad" Xiao Bai sighed helplessly, and walked back along the road on the edge of the city.The reason why he is so concerned about the affairs of his aunt's family is that his aunt and his brother-in-law are good to him on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also cares about the current family relationship.In his previous life, Xiao Bai's parents died when he was very young, and he grew up with his uncle and aunt.Uncle and aunt didn't mention him, but fortunately, he was competitive on his own, had good academic performance, and was admitted to the top universities in China with the financial support of some well-wishers.After he became famous, he once gave a lot of money to his uncle and aunt, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of parenting.But for decades, he rarely returned to his hometown.Therefore, after being reborn, Xiao Bai had no idea of going to his uncle and aunt in his previous life.Of course, although this world is highly overlapping with the previous world, he can almost conclude that all the people who were related to a certain boss in his previous life should not have any traces in this world.Unconsciously, Xiao Bai walked to the movie theater near the Dongmen Bridge.He is no stranger to this cinema.Every morning, the open space in front of the cinema is filled with food stalls.Xiao Bai's original body used to like to eat rice noodles here, even if he took a detour to school in the morning.To tell the truth, his original body was very cold to everyone, but he, the "Xibei goods", got along well with his aunt's family."
It's pretty lively here!"
The breakfast stall closes every morning before 8:30 a.m., and during the day there are some pool tables and several book stalls for book rent.Xiao Bai walked to the bookstall and took a look, most of the rental on the bookstall were martial arts.Like Jin Yong's book, Liang Yusheng's book, Gu Long's book, Wolongsheng's book, Chen Qingyun's book, and a small number of Qiong Yao's books, as well as Cen Karen's book."
Xiao Bai, are you here to rent a book too?"
Xiao Bai walked around the three bookstalls, but he didn't expect to meet acquaintances.It was his classmate Jiang Wei who greeted him.This guy left a deep impression on people, he was not tall, he was fat, he wore a pair of myopia glasses with a deep prescription, and he always held a thick martial arts book in his hand."
It's you!
I don't rent books, I just come over and look at them. ”Xiao Bai and Jiang Wei are not very familiar with each other, and the two have nothing to say after greeting each other.Jiang Wei nodded, stepped forward and returned the book in his hand to the bookstall owner, and then quickly grabbed another book from the bookstall."
Xiao Bai, I'll go first" Jiang Wei smiled at Xiao Bai, but he was very polite."
Well, I'm going to go too, let's go together."
Xiao Bai walked around the bookstall and had an idea in his heart.After the reopening, the country was opened, and the people's demand for all kinds of spiritualization was simply to the point of hunger and thirst.Qigong fever, flower cultivation fever, and learning fever are all unique products of this era.Nowadays, television sets are not yet fully popular, especially in remote places like Xintun County.Books and periodicals can fill the gap in this regard.Xiao Bai felt that he could help his aunt cut in from this aspect, and earn some pocket money to improve his life by the way.Xiao Bai and Jiang Wei left the cinema together, and the places where the two lived were not too far apart, just enough to go the same way."
Jiang Wei, it costs a lot of money to read books like you do every day, right?"
Walking all the way, I can't always be silent, so Xiao Bai casually found a topic."
Spending money?
No, no, no, no money. ”The honest boy Jiang Wei asked ten questions and answered ten, and soon sold himself cleanly.It turned out that this guy's parents both worked in the Chemical Bureau, and his father was also a petty official, and these small bookstall owners all knew him, and no one really took money for him to read."
Oh oh, I'm here, do you want to go sit in my house for a while?"
The two chatted as they walked, and it didn't take long for them to reach the door of the theater."
Sit, don't sit, I'll go with you to recognize the door" Jiang Wei was very surprised, Xiao Bai had been rejecting people thousands of miles away since he was in high school, and no one else in the class had ever stepped into this guy's residence except for Yue Tong.Evening.Xiao Bai stepped on the meal and came to his aunt's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that his little cousin and little cousin were pestering his grandmother to tell them the stories in the villain's book."
Grandma, Aunt Man" The aunt was cooking in the stove house, and the sister-in-law was fiddling with his weighted bicycle in the patio, Xiao Bai smiled and said hello to them.Grandma smiled and nodded, and then said to the two guys: "You two don't know how to call people, call cousin." ”When the two little ones heard this, they leaned closer to their grandmother's side, and then shouted timidly: "Hello brother!
”The little sister-in-law who was cleaning the bicycle chain over there couldn't help laughing: "Bai Yanzi, Binbin and Yuanyuan are quite afraid of you" Binbin and Yuanyuan are the nicknames of the two little guys, the boy is called Binbin, and the girl is called Yuanyuan."
Uncle Man, look at what you said, I'm not a tiger, are they afraid of what I will do?
Binbin Yuanyuan, my cousin brought you fried baba with sugar today, hurry up and eat it" Xiao Bai smiled awkwardly, the two little guys were not close to him, the problem must be on the cold face of the original body.Fortunately, when he came over today, he bought some food.Sugar-fried baba, as the name suggests, is a glutinous rice glutinous rice cake fried with sugar, which is very sweet and delicious, and is a traditional local snack.When the two little guys saw that Xiao Bai really took out the delicious food from the bag, they didn't care whether they were afraid or not, and they stepped forward with a hula."
It's time to eat, and it's time for a snack.Bai Yanzi, don't spend money to buy things for them in the future, the two of them are a pair of hungry cats. ”The sister-in-law said so, but he was still very happy."
Xue Gang, hurry up and wash your hands and eat.Mom, you also wash Binbin Yuanyuan. ”The old house of the Liang family is not big, and there is a patio when the gate comes in.Directly opposite the gate is the hall, and the east and west wings add up to three rooms.The kitchen is located on the east side of the hall, which functions as both a living room and a dining room.When my aunt came out of the stove house to bring food, she happened to see this scene.But she didn't say anything, just called everyone to hurry up and eat.
