Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 495: Tianjin University is very close, but the future is far away

It was the third day after Mori saw several people leaving.

In the morning, after sending Naoko to school, Naruse turned around and rode to the second-hand store in front of the station.

Although it was still early, seeing that the handicraft club was actively preparing for the cultural festival, he also began to prepare to organize a flea market. Today, he had some questions to ask the medieval shop owner Chaoyue Ming.

When we arrived near the station, the inconspicuous second-hand shop on the street was still open for business today.

He stopped the car outside the store, and Chao Yueming looked over inside, his eyes lingering on the motorcycle he rode today.

"Super Cub C125."

"Uh-huh."

Naruse looked back and said, "My friend's car, let me borrow it for a few days."

Chao Yueming nodded and said: "I know a few shop owners who sell second-hand motorcycles. They have some older models that can be kept at home for collection, or you can ride them for transportation."

"is it?"

Naruse responded casually, and it took him a while to react.

"I have no interest in second-hand motorcycles. I switched to this car just because it is more convenient to take my girlfriend with me."

Chao Yueming still nodded and said nothing more.

Naruse explained the purpose of his visit and wanted to ask him for a copy of the admission requirements from the last or previous flea market for reference.

"There is."

After Chao Yueming finished speaking, he thought for a moment, "I'll go look for it."

After that, he started rummaging around and let Naruse do as he pleased.

Seeing a disassembled machine on his desk, Naruse walked in and took a look and found that it was a quite ancient mobile phone.

Since it was almost completely disassembled, he didn't dare to move it. After staring at it for a while, he determined that it was a sliding phone.

In the era when this kind of mobile phone was popular, he was probably not old enough to be in Hengxing Township, so he had rarely seen it.

"Nokia N96." Chao Yueming poked his head out from the other side and continued to search, "Bruce Lee limited edition."

"Really?" These two names made Naruse more interested.

“There’s Bruce Lee’s face on the back cover.”

Chao Yueming came over and turned one of the parts over. Sure enough, his familiar white profile picture was printed on the black back cover, with his signature underneath.

"When this phone was released, it had many photos of Bruce Lee pre-stored in it...but now it cannot be opened."

He showed a headache expression, "I want to take it apart and try to repair it myself. I've been tinkering with it all day, but it still doesn't work."

"Can't turn on the phone? Then the price charged shouldn't be too expensive," Naruse said.

"Well, I've got tens of thousands of yen."

Chao Yueming nodded, "The customer said that he bought it when he went to Shanghai a few years ago. It was originally second-hand."

After looking down for a few times, he continued to look for what Naruse needed.

Naruse sat down and studied for a while. Since he didn't dare to move around and gained nothing, he just took a photo of the back cover with Bruce Lee's face printed on it and sent it to Naoko.

Shang Zi: Bruce Lee?

Naruse: Yes.

Naoko: Shioyuki-san has everything there.

Putting away the phone and looking at the disassembled parts on the table, he remembered Morimi's phone with a cracked screen.

Because she had to go out, she didn't have time to repair it, so she continued to use it.

Thinking of what happened before and after the phone screen broke, he took another deep breath.

When he turned around again, Chao Yueming was standing aside, holding a dusty document in his hand.

"found it."

Naruse stood up and gave up his seat, took the document from his hand, and read it.

"This is not from the flea market in Pingchuan City..."

"Well, I couldn't find the one that time. I only found this one."

"As long as you can find it."

Naruse quickly scanned the text on the document and quickly frowned again.

"This requirement is really simple. It basically only stipulates the size range of stalls at each level. Even if the rest is written out, it would be meaningless... This 'no selling of restricted weapons such as guns and ammunition' is a joke." "

Chao Yueming rolled his eyes upward, as if he was remembering.

"A few years ago, someone was selling a loaded shotgun."

"Eh?"

"Yes, sold."

"...Okay." Naruse actually wanted to find something systematic for reference, but obviously he couldn't find it here in Chaoyue Ming.

This is not a big problem. He had no intention of holding an event exactly like the flea market he participated in last time. A school with students as the main body is a small society within itself, and many things are different.

However, he still had some questions and wanted to ask Chao Yueming.

"Mr. Shioyue, last time you went to the flea market, how did you apply for a stall?"

"I'll think about it..."

Chaoyue Ming said everything he knew, and after chatting for most of the morning, Naruse gained a lot, and the framework in his mind gradually took shape.

He should be able to put together a preliminary plan in the afternoon, he thought.

After talking about business, it was still a while before it was time to eat, so Naruse walked around the shelves again.

Seeing an iron Jin University badge on the shelf, he picked it up and looked at it, then looked at the label underneath and found that it was a commemorative medal from a school anniversary more than ten years ago.

Naruse thought for a while, then raised his voice and asked, "Mr. Shioyuki, what do you think of TSU?"

Chao Yueming is a graduate of Jingao University, and before that, he was also a student of Jingao University, so the two are still alumni.

"What aspect does Song want to ask about?"

"I don't have anything specific to ask. I just want to know how Mr. Shioyue felt after staying at Tianjin University for four years."

Chao Yueming thought for a while, "It's okay. It's very close to home."

"..."

Naruse laughed and put down the school badge, "Is this the only advantage of Jinta University?"

"That's not the case." Chao Yueming said, but he didn't mention any other advantages for a long time.

Naruse peeked out from between the shelves. He was studying the mobile phone parts on the table.

Just as he retracted his head, his voice sounded again.

"Song, are you going to apply for Tianjin University?"

Naruse poked his head out again, "That was my plan before, but now... I haven't thought of any other plans yet."

Chao Yueming looked down at the table and kept fiddling with his hands. It seemed that he had finally given up on repairing the Nokia by himself and was already reassembling it.

“Jinda is very close and you can live at home.”

"Mr. Shioyue didn't choose Tianjin University for this reason, right?"

"Yes."

Naruse was dumbfounded.

After a while, he asked: "Before Mr. Chaoyue went to college, had he already thought about opening a second-hand store after graduation?"

"No."

Chao Yueming answered quickly, and then thought for more than half a minute before continuing: "I came up with the idea when I was helping relatives move in the winter of my junior year. I felt it was a pity to lose some things. Although I used No, but someone else might need it.”

Naruse pursed his lower lip, "It's quite accidental."

"Ah."

"But Mr. Shioyue is now fully devoted to this career."

"Because it's started." Chaoyue Ming paused and smiled, "It's also very interesting."

Naruse also smiled and asked no more questions.

After walking around the shelves again, it was almost noon, and he said goodbye to Chao Yueming. He rode back to school and ate lunch with Naoko under the shade of the trees in the atrium.

"Did Harumi gain anything this morning?"

"After asking a lot of questions, I almost know what to do."

"That's good."

"Where is Shangzi?"

"all the best."

After eating the lunch box, the two rested on the bench for more than half an hour, and then went upstairs together.

Naoko went to the handicraft club, and Naruse went straight to the fourth floor and wrote a draft of the schedule in the department room where he was the only one.

"The venue and scale probably depend on what the student union wants... It's impossible to find an atrium. If it's on the playground, I don't know if I can apply for a good location closer to the entrance..."

Putting aside the things he couldn't decide for now, Naruse broke down the next work.

A lot of the content has to be handed over to Morimi and Haixing, who are still traveling outside, and Hikaru Takigawa, who is not a member of the restoration department.

Naruse: @光, after school starts, come to the restoration department to help with some publicity work.

Light: OK.What is it specifically?

Naruse: Distribute leaflets.
