Rebirth 1986

Chapter 141 Pie
After putting the tapes away, An Qing picked out all the novels she had chosen and the books she liked and stacked them on the table, waiting for her to go around the entire library. There were already two stacks of books on the table. It is piled up like a hill, which looks a little scary.

After choosing the book, An Qing glanced at the two students who were still immersed in the world of books and could not extricate themselves. At first, she wanted to ask Li Liansheng to help with the checkout, but after thinking about it, it was not easy to disturb them, so she also flipped through a novel and kept it beside her. It seemed that the whole room was silent, only the occasional sound of flipping a book.

Until the employees of the bookstore were about to get off work, Li Liansheng hadn't seen the three of them come out, so he couldn't help but went to the study to look for them strangely, and found that the three of them were sitting cross-legged on the ground, silent in the sea of ​​books, he couldn't help being speechless, couldn't help it With two light coughs, the three of An Qing woke up.

Glancing at Li Liansheng's speechless face, An Qing looked at her watch, and found that several hours had passed without her noticing. No wonder she felt hungry. It took too long for my legs to feel numb, so I quickly supported the bookshelf next to me so as not to fall, and the two students also stood up now.

While hammering his thigh, An Qing said to Li Liansheng: "I'm sorry, I was too engrossed in reading just now, and it took you so long."

Li Liansheng quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, only people who love books can be so engrossed, I can understand, but now we are about to get off work, have you chosen which books you want, I will take you to the front to stamp the checkout, otherwise you will wait later There's no one left, you have to come back tomorrow."

An Qing smiled and said, "I've already chosen them, and they're all placed on the table."

Hearing this, Li Liansheng followed An Qing's direction and looked at the table next to him, his eyes widened in an instant, and he opened his mouth and said, "Do you want all these books?"

"Well, all of them. These should be enough to see the Chinese New Year. By the way, Mr. Li, if there are any 'internal reading materials' on your side in the future, can I continue to buy them?" An Qing asked.

Although Li Liansheng was surprised in his heart, he had seen the world anyway, and he put away the strange look on his face in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't help being surprised when he heard An Qing's question: "These are only enough for you to see the New Year? Then your reading speed It's really fast enough. As for buying books here in the future, of course you can. These reading materials are supposed to be sold to outsiders, but there is no express rule that they must not be sold, so if you still need it, you can come again. I'll just take you in."

"Thank you, how often do you have a new book here?"

"It can be as little as a month, or as much as two or three months. The main thing is to look at the first batch of goods."

An Qing pondered for a while after listening, and said: "Then how about it, I will come to select books every two or three months in the future, and then I will trouble Mr. Li."

Li Liansheng quickly waved his hand and said that it's not troublesome. In fact, these internal reading materials are still there. There are not many "insiders" who actually come here to read the books. It is better to sell some. What An Qing doesn't know is that these are not open to the public. After the books sold, Li Liansheng, the store manager here, will get a lot of benefits, so he is of course happy to hear that An Qing wants to buy them.

Li Liansheng talked and laughed with An Qing, then turned to the two students and asked, "Ms. An has already chosen, have you two chosen? If possible, go out and pay the bill now."

When the two heard him ask this question, they just hugged each other nonchalantly and didn't answer, their faces were a little embarrassing.

Li Liansheng has been in the bookstore for many years, and he has seen many intellectuals who love books come to the bookstore on weekdays, but they look like they have no money to buy books, so when they saw their appearance, they knew what was going on. Letting go, he couldn't help saying: "If the two of you don't choose well, come back next time you have a chance. We're going to get off work today."

The two knew that Li Liansheng had saved face for them. Although they couldn't let go of the book in their arms, they could only put it back on the shelf. Shangquan was very reluctant, and his heart moved, and he couldn't help saying: "Wait a minute."

After the two had a meal, Li Liansheng also looked at An Qing strangely.

However, An Qing just looked at the two students, and said to them: "Look at what books you all want. If there are not too many books, just count them among my purchases and check out together."

"Ah?" Those two opened their mouths wide, how could this pie fall from the sky?

"What's the matter, don't you have any books you want?" An Qing felt a little strange seeing the two of them not moving.

The older one heard the words and just wanted to say no. Although he wanted these books, he was more thoughtful after all and would not take things from others easily, but the younger one had already said hastily, "Yes, yes, of course. , we don’t want many books, about a dozen, I don’t know about you..."

"You go and get it. I'll help you pay the bill later, Mr. Li. We'll wait for them outside."

The young student was overjoyed when he heard it, and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, we'll get it right away, just wait a moment, we'll be right away."

An Qing nodded and left the room with Li Liansheng first, and moved the books she had chosen to the front desk, while the two students stayed in the room to pick up the books.

Waiting for Anqing and the two to leave, the older man frowned and said: "Zhifei, how can you agree to let her help us buy books with money? We don't know each other, why is she treating us?" So attentive, how do you know if she has any plans?"

"Brother Hao, I think you are thinking too much." Lu Zhifei looked at Tian Hao, "That Ms. An doesn't look like a bad person at first glance, we don't know her well, she is willing to intercede for us and bring us in, and you Don't think about it, could we come in here without her? And that fat woman is right, we are both poor ghosts, what can Miss An do?"

Tian Hao was silent, what Lu Zhifei said was right, the two of them had neither money nor anything else, what could An Qing do for them?

Seeing that Tian Hao was a little loose, Lu Zhifei quickly picked up two books he liked from the nearby bookshelf and said to Tian Hao: "Brother Hao, look at the books in my hand. I have been thinking about these books for a long time. I have no money and no way to buy it, and I also saw a book related to our research. If I miss this time, I will have no chance to buy it next time. That Miss An is a good person at first glance. I think she is just pure I want to help us, and we already owe her a favor anyway. Since one favor is also owed, and two favors are also owed, why can't we ask her to help us settle the bill? The big deal is that we owe her the money for buying books this time. Yes, when the results of our research come out, we will have money, and we will return it to her in double."

When Lu Zhifei was talking, he kept staring into Tian Hao's eyes, and it was no surprise that he had a look of approval. The two of them were classmates when they were in their hometown, and later they were admitted to the same school and lived in the same dormitory. Hao, no one knows better than him, and knows how to say it to make him agree.

Sure enough, after a short while, Tian Hao pursed his lips and pushed the mirror frame and said, "Okay, let's borrow it this time, and write an IOU to Miss An when we go out. If we have money, we will pay her back double."

"Brother Hao, you agree. That's great. Let's make an IOU as soon as we go out. Then hurry up and choose a book now, so as not to make them wait outside for a long time."

Tian Hao nodded, since he decided to accept this favor, he would naturally not accept it in vain, so he ran to the edge of the bookshelf in three steps at a time, faster than Lu Zhifei, and the two quickly separated the books they had previously looked forward to. They took them out, and walked out with a thick pile of them in their arms.

An Qing and Li Liansheng were waiting for them at the counter in front. When she saw them carrying the book, An Qing wanted to reach out to pick it up when she saw that they were holding the wobbly book, but Tian Hao hurriedly let her go. , and Lu Zhifei simply turned around and walked past.

"No, no, no, Miss An, don't take it, this book is heavy, we can do it ourselves." Tian Hao said repeatedly.

Hearing this, An Qing didn't force her, she stepped aside and asked the two of them to put the books on the counter, only to find that the two of them had about twenty books in total, and An Qing's own books were nearly thirty , plus other miscellaneous reading materials and textbook tapes, there are a lot of piles on the counter.

Li Liansheng hurriedly counted them together with the clerk at the front desk. After the price of each book was calculated, a bookstore's seal was stamped on it, and then a dozen books were tied together with a rope, and those tapes and small reading materials were packed with a thick book. The paper bag was specially wrapped for Anqing and placed on top.

After An Qing counted and tied them up separately, the two went to count the pile of books belonging to Tian Hao and Lu Zhifei, and waited for the price to be calculated before Li Liansheng said: "Miss An, the total of these things on your side is Two hundred and eighteen yuan and fifty cents, and theirs is 18 and five cents."

"Why is ours not as much as Ms. An's? Her 200 books and these miscellaneous things only cost more than 300 yuan, while ours costs more than 300 yuan? Why is it so much more expensive than hers!" Lu Zhifei and the two heard their choice The book actually cost more than [-] yuan, so I asked quickly.

Li Liansheng laughed, "The purchase of books is not based on the number of books. Most of what Ms. An chooses are reading materials, textbooks, and some novels, so the price is cheap. Both of you choose scientific research books. How many books are there? I just bought this book a few days ago, and it costs more than 300 yuan for a book, and more than [-] yuan is also normal."

Lu Zhifei couldn't help but blushed when he heard the words. Although he wanted to owe favors to buy books, and An Qing looked like a good person, it's not easy to spend so much money on him. At this time, the average salary for a month's work is only For a hundred dollars, they spent three or four months' wages at once, what is that like!
