Reborn 80s

Chapter 33
Lihua lived with Lin Qiu so happily that she never thought of leaving. Ever since Miss Lihua came, Lin Qiu completely abandoned her second brother.

Lin Youfu wanted to pull his sister to discuss his dream of a future business empire, but she ruthlessly rejected her with the excuse of pear blossoms.

From morning to night, the two of them were glued together like Siamese twins.

Lin Qiu's parents were very happy.

After all, such a girl has grown up so much, and it is the first time that a good friend comes to play at home.

Originally there was only one daughter in the family, and the couple who doted on their daughter so much that they were afraid that she would feel lonely without sisters. Seeing that Lin Qiu had such a close friend now felt comforting.

As a result, no one paid any attention to Lin Youfu's full of resentment. Brother Lin, who dared to be angry at home and dared not speak out, had to secretly thank Lihua's villain in his heart. It was all her fault for taking over his sister!
On this day, Lin Qiu and Xie Lihua happily prepared to go out and go shopping in the street.

In the past two days, I heard that a bookseller came to the city and held a book fair. Of course, they didn't sell any textbooks or extracurricular tutoring.

It is said that they are all comic strips one by one.

Xie Lihua is an in-depth lover of comic books, especially small books the size of a palm, the pages of which are full of pictures with few words.

As a top student, Xie Lihua is too embarrassed to speak out about this hobby, and she is usually too embarrassed to promote it to others.

Until yesterday, when she saw the small advertisement posted on the telephone pole on the street, the girl immediately exploded, clamoring that she must go and see it.

What else could Lin Qiu say, so he had to accompany him.

Just as I was about to go out, I saw someone coming to visit with big bags and small bags.

It was Min Xing, wearing a black coat with a brown sweater underneath, revealing a part of his shirt collar.

Obviously it is the most common dress these days, and it has a suave taste for no reason. It can be seen that good-looking people look good wearing a sack, Lin Qiu thought to himself.

As if feeling Lin Qiu's gaze, Min Xing looked at Lin Qiu with a bright smile, his eyes full of bright stars.

When Ji Huizhen and Lin Genquan heard that Minxing had come to the house, they rushed out to welcome them.

Minxing said: "Uncle and Aunt, it's been a long time. I met Xiaoqiu at the train station that day. You have been living here now. You have been taken care of by you for so many years. I haven't seen you for so long. I miss you. Come and see me today." Look at Uncle and Aunt."

Ji Huizhen and Lin Genquan were so happy that they didn't know how to put it, they sighed again and again, Minxing really became more and more outstanding as they got older, and complained that they shouldn't have brought such things.

After rambling on and on, it was hard for someone to enter the house.

Lihua would be embarrassed even if she wanted to go out again, so she had to follow Lin Qiu back to the house silently.

At this moment, Minxing was having a lively chat with Lin Gensheng.

Originally, Min Xing was the type of elders who were easy to feel happy when they saw him. He had a good appearance and a clean temperament, and he was a specimen of a good socialist youth.

When I learned that he was admitted to university not long after they left, and is now a college student.

He was so happy that he didn't know what to say, wishing that this was his own son.

After chatting back and forth until noon, the Lin family insisted on keeping Min Xing for dinner, but they really refused, but they had to sit down and have lunch before leaving.

Ji Huizhen actually likes this young man from the bottom of her heart, not only because he is excellent, but also because Minxing took good care of Lin Qiu in the early years, taught her to read when she dropped out of school, and gave birth to a child when she was sick. help.

She has remembered Minxing's love for so long, but she has never had the chance to repay him.

So at noon, Ji Huizhen simply cooked a large table full of dishes according to the standards of the New Year's Eve dinner, expressing her gratitude.

After dinner, Min Xing prepares to say goodbye.

Before leaving, he invited Lin Qiu to play at his school. Lin Qiu looked at Min Xing and asked strangely for some reason.

"Brother Min, we are going to the book fair on Xing'an Street in the afternoon, do you want to come with us?"

Xie Lihua: "..."

Let a college student follow them to see comics?
Minxing followed them all the way to Xing'an Street, and when he finally saw the so-called book fair, he finally understood the meaning of Xie Lihua's slightly subtle expression along the way.

At first he thought that Xie Lihua didn't like the two little girls taking him out to have fun, but he didn't understand until he had a look at the book fair.

Standing in front of the booth, nine out of ten were kids around ten years old.

People like Lin Qiu and Xie Lihua are considered old, but Min Xing is simply an outlier among this group of people.

In addition, Min Xing is tall and has a bookish smell all over his body.

It's really out of place for this kind of situation.

At the moment, the eyes of those who are not immersed in the book are focused on Min Xing, and Lin Qiu realizes how inappropriate it is to invite Min Xing to run with them to read the comics.

Embarrassed, she twisted her braids with her fingers, and secretly glanced at Yan Minxing.

Min Xing seemed to feel her gaze, smiled softly, lowered his head, flipped through the comic strips in his hand, and read them calmly.

As leisurely as if it was a short prose in my hand.

Lin Qiu was attracted by Min Xing's calm and composed expression, and took a second look, and then took a closer look at the comic strip in his hand. "Wang Erxiao's Tale of Herding the Cow" was impressively printed on the cover.

Lin Qiu couldn't help but want to cover her face, look, look, what she did to Brother Min.

Since the girl Xie Lihua came to this book fair, she has entered the sea like a fish.

Flipping here and there, I don’t know where I went in the blink of an eye.

Lin Qiu looked at the posture, and was afraid that the girl would not move for a while, so she also looked around to see if there was anything she wanted.

Although comic strips are now seen as picture books for children in the eyes of the world, in fact many comic strips are based on the literary works of first-class literary masters.

For example, the four classic masterpieces, many of which are painted by first-class art masters, actually have high artistic value, such as "The White-haired Girl" by Hua Sanchuan, "Sun Wukong Three Beats the Bone Essence" by Zhao Hongben, etc.

It is not an exaggeration to say that these works are exaggerated and handed down to the world.

However, due to some historical reasons, most of the manuscripts of comic strips by famous artists have been lost. As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer complete versions.

In the mid-to-late 90s, there will be a boom in collecting comic books, because complete books and sets of comic books are rarely seen on the market, and the value of these small booklets will easily exceed thousands of yuan each.

Lin Qiu had an idea to take advantage of this time to collect several sets of complete copies, and wait for the appreciation in value. Don't make this money too easily.

However, when she turned to the other basic picture book at hand, it was as if she was struck by lightning, and she forgot all those comic books.
