Chapter 85, Xinhua Bookstore (sixth update)
Another day, Chen Guohua was at home after lunch.

I went to Dong Shitiao Street Primary School with Chen Xiaomei and met teacher Deng Shujia.

"You are Xiaomei's eldest brother, right?"

Deng Shujia had heard a little about Chen Guohua.

Everyone lives nearby, so she must know something about Chen Xiaomei, who has transferred here.

Chen Xiaomei has no parents, and only four brothers and sisters depend on each other.

The eldest brother supports the whole family as both father and mother.

He is obviously a high school student, but he is also a car designer at BAIC Manufacturing Plant, and his salary is very high.

The key is that Chen Guohua's academic performance is very good, and he ranks first in the school in every mock test.

Therefore, Deng Shujia has long wanted to chat with Chen Guohua:
Why is he so good at reading, but his sister seems to be just average?
"Yes, I am her eldest brother."

Chen Guohua smiled and nodded, and continued without waiting for the other party to speak:
"That's right, Teacher Deng, I want to ask, the little book that I took out from my sister's schoolbag yesterday, how did you determine that the book is her own?"

Deng Shujia was about to speak, but heard Chen Guohua continue:

"Judging from your scolding of my sister yesterday, you have determined that this book belongs to my sister."

"In this case, it's for the sake of my sister."

"How about I, the eldest brother, tear up this little book in front of you, teacher?"

Deng Shujia was stunned for a moment, then immediately frowned and said:
"Comrade Chen, there is no need for this."

"I asked Xiaomei to call you over, just to tell you about sister You."

"The little book itself was bought with money, there is no need to tear it up."

Chen Guohua was disappointed: Can he educate his sister well in this way?
Next, he explained his own point of view to the other party.

First of all, he approved of his sister's reading of the novel.

Moreover, his sister did not bring the little book to school, let alone read the little book in class.

Secondly, reading a villain’s book does not mean it is incorrect.

If his sister can take care of her studies, then there is nothing wrong with giving her the right to read villain books.

Finally, as a teacher, you should understand the ins and outs of the matter, rather than beating someone to death with a stick.

"You mean, I still wronged your sister?"

Before Chen Guohua finished speaking, Deng Shujia was already trembling with anger.

How can anyone be such a big brother?

Chen Guohua pointed to his own head and said:

"I bought fifteen little character books for my sister in March, and I haven't bought any since."

"Yesterday afternoon, before she came back, the children in our yard told me about this."

"I have already counted the little book at home, no more, no less, exactly fifteen."

"And I remember all the names of the fifteen little books, and none of them is called Pegasus Tracking!"

"Teacher Deng, the little book you confiscated yesterday cannot possibly be my sister's little book."

Hearing this, Deng Shujia became even more angry: "Then how are you sure it's not your sister who borrowed someone else's little book?"

Seeing that the other party was angry, Chen Guohua smiled.

"Teacher Deng, it seems that you don't know the students in your class as well as I do."

With Deng Shujia's angry expression, Chen Guohua analyzed the students in his sister's class one by one.

To put it simply, there are only five students who have the strength to buy the Little Man book.

Three of them are relatively solitary, because they are in a small circle of their own.

Not to mention borrowing books to read to other students, even though they talked very little.

And Chen Xiaomei's nemesis, Liu Yurong, is even less likely to lend books to the former.

The classmates who played well with Chen Xiaomei were from very poor family backgrounds, and they were even less likely to buy any villain books.

As for the students in the next class, they are limited to the friends in Courtyard 98.

To sum up, Chen Xiaomei is unlikely to borrow books from outside.

Then the book "Pegasus Tracking" that was confiscated yesterday can only be framed by others.

"According to Comrade Chen, who framed her?"

Deng Shujia asked aggressively.

Chen Guohua chuckled and said:
"The school is not a police station. I will not ask Teacher Deng to investigate this matter strictly."

"I just want to tell Teacher Deng that my sister is not the kind of person who reads extracurricular books in class."

"I hope Teacher Deng can clear my sister's name in front of the whole class."

"Of course, if she really does something like this in the future, haha, Teacher Deng doesn't need to punish her, I will be the first to punish her."

Regarding Teacher Deng, Chen Guohua strongly disagreed with his teaching attitude and methods.

She invites parents at every turn. Doesn’t she know that Chen Xiaomei no longer has a parent?
Can't we have more understanding and support for students who have lost their parents?
It’s not that the other party is doting on the students, it’s just that they pay more attention to the methods.

She scolded Chen Xiaomei in front of the whole class and asked her to invite her parents directly.

How can anyone be a teacher like this?
Chen Xiaomei didn't do anything so outrageous, so why did she need to mobilize so many troops?
Besides, isn't it too unkind to be so harsh on an eight-year-old child?
However, his words made Deng Shujia even more angry.

Simply incomprehensible!
"In this case, please ask Comrade Chen to handle the transfer procedures for your sister. I can't teach your sister."

Deng Shujia lowered her face and said coldly.

Chen Guohua was speechless when he heard this: Is the teacher's authority so great?Not even able to be questioned?

While speechless, Chen Guohua nodded:

"Yes, yes, yes, Teacher Deng, you are right, you are really not qualified to teach my sister: you are misleading your children!"

"You've done something wrong and you can't let anyone talk about it?"

"If you make a mistake, correct it. This is a principle that all children know. You, a teacher, are you still angry with me?"

"I'm going to report this to the principal now. I want to ask if all the teachers in your school are so awesome?"

Chen Xiaomei was dumbfounded, why was it different from what she thought?

In a daze, she was dragged to the principal's office by her elder brother.

After the two brothers Chen Guohua left, Deng Shujia himself regretted it.

Why do you have to be so quick-tongued?

Soon, the principal sent someone to invite Deng Shujia.

In the office, Principal Zhou Zhigang briefly talked about this matter with a smile.

Then said:
"Teacher Deng, you may not know who Comrade Chen is, but I know it very well."

"So I believe Comrade Xiao Chen, and after all is said and done, this matter is not a big deal."

"You are also angry, right? So this matter is very simple, just restore the child's innocence."

Deng Shujia's face was filled with disbelief: Do you want her to apologize?

Moreover, why does Principal Zhou know so much about Chen Guohua’s personality?

Because he and Su Xiuwan lived in the same courtyard, and the latter was Chen Guohua's class teacher.

In addition, after his son Zhou Weimin graduated from technical secondary school, he entered the third design department of BAIC Manufacturing Plant.

Cheng Chunming, the director of the Third Design Department where Zhou Weimin worked, and Bai Lichun, the director of the Second Design Department where Chen Guohua worked, started to fight each other when they met.

Although in Chen Guohua's view, the two people's behavior was very childish, a bit like rookies pecking each other.

But it is precisely because of this that Zhou Weimin became more familiar with Chen Guohua.

In the Zhou family, Zhou Weimin often talked about Chen Guohua.

I admire Chen Guohua so much.

Although Zhou Weimin, who is in his early 20s, is four or five years older than Chen Guohua, he is not as good as Chen Guohua.

Car design ability, foreign language translation ability, examination ability, etc. are all very different.

I feel like I have lived in vain for four or five years. I really don’t know how the 17-year-old Chen Guohua became so outstanding?
Deng Shujia didn't know much about this. After all, she only briefly heard about Chen Xiaomei's family situation from others.

So, asking her to apologize now: Impossible!

Then, Zhou Zhigang immediately became angry, called Deng Shujia to the other side, and introduced Chen Guohua in a low voice.

Deng Shujia was stunned and confused.

Is there really such a genius?
But Principal Zhou also said that this was something his son and neighbors often whispered in his ears. Can it be false?

As for admitting the wrong person?

That's impossible!
When it was time to transfer to another school, Chen Guohua personally brought Director Xie Xiaofang and his sister to him as the principal to complete the procedures.

The four brothers and sisters of the Chen family live in the east wing of the middle courtyard of No. 98. Can this still be false?
After a while, Deng Shujia came to his senses, his face turned red, and he had to come to Chen Guohua to apologize.

She shouldn't be so impulsive, let alone prejudiced and arrogant.

As for whose book "Pegasus Tracking" belongs to, she will also investigate clearly.

This matter has come to an end for the time being.

After returning to the classroom, Chen Xiaomei was finally relieved of her injustice.

But Liu Yurong was unhappy: Why?
Before Liu Yurong could get angry, Deng Shujia had already spoken and called her to come to the office.

what?
An anxious Liu Yurong followed her teacher to the teacher's office.

The question soon followed: Is that book hers?

Liu Yurong was stunned and stammered in denial.

But in Deng Shujia's eyes, this reaction was undoubtedly self-inflicted.

Got it!
Everything has come to light.

Chen Guohua was really right.

Although Chen Guohua did not say it explicitly, the book "Pegasus Tracking" was written by Liu Yurong to frame his sister.

But he also mentioned that Liu Yurong didn't have a good relationship with his sister.

This alone is fatal enough.

Deng Shujia made a brief inquiry, and the culprit of the villain's book crisis was revealed.

Now that the whole thing has been revealed, there must be punishment.

However, Deng Shujia, who had just been taught a lesson by Chen Guohua, did not dare to punish him randomly.

Chen Guohua no longer knows how she will punish Liu Yurong.

On the weekend, he took his two sisters to Xinhua Bookstore as promised.

The second child doesn't like reading, so she refuses to come to Xinhua Bookstore.

At No. 8 Wangfujing, there is a two-story antique red building.

In early [-], the capital was liberated.

Xinhua Bookstore dispatched a small team of capable people to station in Peiping at that time, and non-stop took over units such as Zhengzhong Bookstore, independent publishing house, cultural service agency and its affiliated printing plants run by the Kuomintang.Moreover, on February 8, [-], the first Xinhua Bookstore in Peiping City was established in the two-story building at No. [-] Wangfujing, the original site of Zhengzhong Bookstore.

"These four big characters are the characters inscribed by the leaders at that time."

Every time he comes to Xinhua Bookstore, Chen Guohua is filled with emotion when he sees the four characters Xinhua Bookstore hanging above the store door.

Since moving to the city, Chen Guohua has been to Xinhua Bookstore several times.

There were many interesting books in this era, and in [-] or [-] years, simplified Chinese characters began to be promoted.

At this time point of [-], it was actually an era when traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters coexisted.

Very interesting!
In terms of font aesthetics, of course it’s traditional Chinese characters.

But when it comes to the convenience and speed of communication, it is naturally simplified Chinese characters.

No matter what kind of font it is, Chen Guohua can accept it.

The entire Xinhua Bookstore only has two floors, but there are many people coming in and out.

After walking in, you can still see many people reading books seriously at the bookshelf, without noticing anyone passing by.

Chen Guohua was looking for technical books, mainly for disguise.

The biological hard drive in his brain contains vast and boundless knowledge.

Naturally, there is no need to read books to learn knowledge.

But he still needs to buy books and store them at home to cope with ordinary situations.

Naturally, the youngest and third children went straight to the bookshelf of Little People’s Books, which they loved the most.

In fact, in order not to buy books, they just choose one or two and stand next to the bookshelf to read them.

"Third sister, look, someone is copying books."

Chen Xiaomin noticed that someone not far away was copying books with paper and pen, and couldn't help but curiously murmured to her third sister.

"Maybe her family is poor and she doesn't have money to buy books?"

The third child commented like this, but Chen Xiaomin immediately said: "Third sister, look at the clothes she is wearing, she is a beautiful Braji, and the thing on her head is so beautiful, her family must be rich, right? "

It was obviously a hairpin, but she didn't recognize it.

Sixty-five years ago, when walking on the street, you could still see some of them, whether it was clothes or jewelry.

But after that it was completely impossible to see.

Especially after [-] years, everyone is in terrible shape.

There are only four kinds of clothing left: Jiefang suit, youth suit, tunic suit and cardigan. There is really only a pale "beauty" left.

You can buy everything in the shops over there in the department store.

Not to mention beautiful hairpins, from clothing, cloth, needlework, buttons to watches, bicycles, radios, everything on the market can be purchased in department stores.

In this era of limited material abundance, only department stores can meet everyone's needs.

Chen Xiaomin had little knowledge, but Chen Xiaomei knew that it was a hairpin.

Liu Yurong is so annoying. She has worn hairpins like this in her hair before.

The three Chen Xiaoyue sisters all used rubber bands, not to mention hairpins, and even hairbands were not used.

Compared to cheaper rubber bands, headbands are much more expensive.

Chen Xiaoyue, who had always advocated saving, would certainly not let her elder brother spend money on this.

"Little brat, who told you that I don't have money to buy books?"

Just as the two little guys, the youngest and the youngest, were discussing in a low voice.

Yu Moli on the other side walked over with a smile on his face, looked at the two cute little guys with a smile and said.

"Ah? Sister, you are so beautiful!"

Chen Xiaomin was shocked for a moment, then showed a flattering smile and praised the other party.

Normally, she would use this trick to get through.

I don’t know where she learned how to praise others.

Especially when she does bad things, she acts coquettishly, praises her, and gives her a sweet smile that doesn't pay for her life. These are her three axes.

Yu Moli was immediately surprised: Whose little brat is this, so good at talking?
"Thank you for the compliment, but why do you say I can't afford the book?"

Although he was surprised, Yu Moli still had no intention of letting these two cute little guys go.

"Also, have you come here to buy books at such a young age? Where are your parents?"

The one and two children started to communicate like this. Chen Guohua felt that if they were given more time, the two children would just follow each other and leave.

However, his eyes would turn here from time to time and would not leave the two little ones for too long.

In bookstores, the probability of encountering human traffickers is low.

Moreover, the flow of people in the bookstore is not small. Even if you want to deceive a kid here, it will be very difficult.

What's more, he pays great attention to the movements of the two little guys, how could he possibly take advantage of them?
Yu Moli is just a girl, not a human trafficker.

With the two little guys acting as the middlemen, Chen Guohua also smiled and nodded to Yu Moli, which was regarded as saying hello.

The latter is very beautiful, a perfect beauty.

Because he looks very immature, he looks as young as the classmates in No. 65 Middle School.

Although he said hello, Chen Guohua had no intention of coming forward to talk to the other party.

And Yu Moli also turned around and left after chatting with the two little ones for a while.

Seeing this situation, Chen Guohua didn't even bother to step forward.

After all, as long as he goes there, the two little guys probably won't be able to read in peace.

Anyway, today is the weekend, so let’s spend the afternoon here.

On weekdays, Chen Xiaoyue would not come here, and Chen Xiaomei and Chen Xiaomin would definitely not be able to come here by themselves, they would have to wait for their elder brother to bring them here.

Time flew by, and when it was approaching four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Guohua felt that it was almost time, so he planned to go back.

But when he got up, he found that two little ones had already walked over.

"Brother, brother, look, we picked up the notebook of the elder sister just now. It seems that she forgot to take it away."

notebook?
Chen Guohua looked strange: In this era, it seems that many people really know how to take notes.

But he doesn't have such a habit.

I flipped through it casually, but found that the other party's text was quite beautiful, giving people a pleasing feeling.

It's not a beautiful small font, but a neat and elegant regular script font.

When most people read such text for the first time, they will probably think it is a male text.

However, after Chen Guohua took a few more glances, he quickly saw the delicateness and tenderness of women.

Even men who write well are rarely so detailed.

What's more, the words inside are not daily notes, but good words copied.

More literary and female.

Does she want to write an article?
After just a few glances, Chen Guohua's face became strange.

Sure enough, another 'Xia Kewei'!

Speaking of which, he has been writing about it for more than half a year, but it has not been published yet.

First of all, he didn't have 'time' to write novels in front of Bai Lichun, Su Xiuwan, Luo Feng and others.

Once he publishes his novel, it will inevitably be discovered in the future.

However, once Bai Lichun and others, especially Liu Changyou, the chief of the administrative section, find out, they will probably be complained and talked about.

After all, the translation work at the BAIC manufacturing plant is obviously more important.

Chen Guohua obviously has more time for translation, but he spends his time on novel creation. Can Liu Changyou feel comfortable?
Chen Guohua was somewhat worried about offending his leader for no reason.

Anyway, now that his translation remuneration has been increased to eight yuan per thousand words, he is not in a hurry to publish this novel.

"Didn't you see that big sister?"

Closing the notebook, Chen Guohua asked his two sisters with a smile.

The two little guys shook their heads and said they didn't see it.

"Okay, you go back and read the little book for a while. We'll wait for her for another half an hour. If she doesn't come back to pick it up in half an hour, we'll take her back first."

"Okay, big brother."

Hearing that there was such a good thing, the two little guys nodded excitedly.

Then he ran back to the little book area, flipped through the book, and continued reading.

Seeing them reading books seriously, Chen Guohua couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: It would be great if they worked so hard when studying!

It's a pity that many children are like this: they like to play but don't like to study!
Time flew by, and after more than half an hour, the big clock on the wall at the door of the bookstore already read four forty.

However, the notebook owner the three brothers and sisters were waiting for did not show up at all.

In this case, we can only leave first.

I'll wait here at Xinhua Bookstore tomorrow afternoon.

This time, Chen Guohua still purchased fifteen villain books at once.

The average price of a little book is [-] cents, and the price of [-] books is [-] yuan and [-] cents.

Best of all, no tickets are required!

In addition to these fifteen books, he also purchased three books related to automotive technology, two of which were in foreign languages.

It cost five yuan, which was relatively expensive.

Because the books are thicker and there are two foreign books, the price is more expensive.

In fact, most books of this era are not expensive.

For example, the Xinhua Dictionary published in [-] only cost one yuan.

But in fact, the price of one dollar was still quite expensive for Chen Guohua before time travel.

After all, the only labor force in his family at that time was Lao Chen.

However, Lao Chen's monthly salary is only 28 yuan, so there is no problem in supporting his family.

It's just impossible for Chen Guohua to buy books at will like he does now.

After buying the books, the three brothers and sisters went back.

In Courtyard No. 98, Hu Derong, Chen Xiaoyue, Xu Chunhua and other children were playing skipping in the alley at the gate.

Wang Aidi, Xu Chunguang, Fang Runtu, Jiang Yuanchao and other little kids played the childish game of eagle catching chicks.

In this era, there were no technological products such as televisions, radios, etc.

The little kids can only play games like throw the handkerchief, eagle and chicken, backgammon, etc.

"Brother Chen is back. Did you buy books again? So many villain books?"

Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Wang Aidi saw the three brothers and sisters, Chen Guohua, walking from the alley, and immediately started shouting.
