Chapter 23 Buying Books
There were quite a few people visiting here on weekends, Ling Ma went to buy two tickets, handed the tickets to the staff at the door, and then squeezed in through the small door on the side.The interior decoration of the cathedral was extremely gorgeous and magnificent. Ling Xiaoxiao stared at it with her mouth open, she found that her poor language could not describe this luxury at all.

The brick-red dome is full of stories from the Bible, and the bell tower on the top of the main entrance hangs 1 large, 6 small and 7 musical bells.The walls are surrounded by exquisite murals, made of colorful mosaics, and the high side windows are all hand-painted oil paintings, recording every bit of Jesus.

The long corridor in the church goes all the way to the end to see two huge sculptures, one is Jesus and the other is the Virgin Mary.There are many brochures on the table next to the corridor, which visitors can read by themselves.

"Da Bao'er, this place is too beautiful." Ling Ma took Ling Xiaoxiao's hand, and the only words left in her mouth were repeated.

"It's so beautiful." Ling Xiaoxiao looked at everything in front of her, she really wanted to come here once, it was really different, she would go to Europe to visit more churches when she had the opportunity.

The couple went in and out of the church and the expanded auxiliary building, and then walked out with a lot of satisfaction.When passing by, Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that the back of the past was very familiar. She looked back and found that the other person had already walked into the church.

"Zizhuo, what's the matter?" Yue Pingjun asked suspiciously when he saw his friend suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"It's okay, let's go." The tall and handsome young man started to walk in with a halting pace.

If Ling Xiaoxiao heard this voice, she would definitely recognize that it was the voice that had haunted her in the past, but it was a little younger than what she had imagined, and it had the deep and hoarse characteristic of adolescents.

After coming out of the church, the mother and daughter were already hungry. There are many time-honored restaurants on the pedestrian street, but the prices are not cheap. The mother and daughter walked back to the guest house and found a small noodle restaurant to eat alone. A bowl of ramen.Ling Ma's train was at five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still early after dinner, so she went to the bookstore with Ling Xiaoxiao.

The Xinhua Bookstore in Bincheng is very large, with five floors up and down, and several publishing houses in the province above the sixth floor.The first floor is mainly a part of social science books and bestsellers, and chicken soup literature accounts for most of the bestsellers.Ling Xiaoxiao felt that she was very strong and didn't need to drink soup, so she took Ling Ma directly to the third floor.

The third floor is teaching supplementary books and professional books. Ling Xiaoxiao followed the signs and found the special area for junior high school directly.The area occupied by books in the third grade of junior high school is already equivalent to the Xinhua Bookstore in their county.

Science tutoring books are the focus of buying books this time. She is going to look along one side of the bookshelf. There is a series of tutoring books on a sales promotion table next to the bookshelf. The font reads: Bincheng No. [-] Middle School Special Tutorial Textbook.

Interested, Ling Xiaoxiao picked up a math tutoring book and opened it, and found that the explanations of the exercises in it were indeed very detailed, and the typical question types would have problem-solving ideas and divergent thinking tips attached.This tutorial book is very good!

Putting down the math tutoring, she picked up a physics tutoring book and read it. The explanation method was as detailed and clear as the math tutoring. When she turned to the stress special item they struggled with, there were all the types of questions in their homework, and the typical exercises were given. There is a detailed problem-solving process and special explanations, which are easier to understand than what Lao Gao told them in class.

All she wanted was a tutorial like this!Holding the book, Ling Xiaoxiao felt a surge of excitement in her heart. With this set of tutorial books, she believed that she would definitely improve a lot in the next two unified examinations.

The educational resources in the provincial capital are much richer than those in their county. If the middle schools in the county can also use this kind of guidance book for special tutoring for the third grade of junior high school, then the county's senior high school entrance examination scores will definitely not be comparable to those of the junior high school of the three major high schools. Such a big gap.

Ling Xiaoxiao picked up three sets of this series of tutorial books and put them in the basket. She thought it would take a long time to find the books, but she didn't expect to complete the main task as soon as they came up.Next, she has a lot of time to choose literature books and original English books.

Seeing her daughter picking out books so quickly, Mama Ling couldn't help grinning stupidly. Since her appendicitis surgery in the summer vacation, her daughter has been like a different person. She gets up every day to run, cook, and read books. She is outrageously self-disciplined.Now everyone in the neighborhood who sees her praises her daughter for being sensible, which makes her feel super honored.Now that my daughter is so devoted to her studies, if she can really get into Bincheng No. [-] Middle School, she and her father will be able to wake up from their dreams.

The original English texts were more difficult than Ling Xiaoxiao imagined. Most of the original texts had complex sentences, mixed with slang, and had a large vocabulary.She has a poor foundation in English, and after reading many books, she couldn't even read the introduction.

Picking from left to right, I finally picked out a novel in the original English language. I looked at the time and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. It was time to take Ling Ma back to the guest house to pick up my luggage and go to the train station.

Ling Ma settled the bill at the cash register for the books she had chosen. These sets of tutorial books were not cheap, and Ling Ma used up three Great Unity cards.But she didn't feel bad either, the money was spent on her daughter.He found a plastic rope to tie up the books, and then he carried the books and took Ling Xiaoxiao all the way back to the guest house.

Ling's mother was very worried that Ling Xiaoxiao lived here alone, so she explained it over and over again, and stuffed 200 yuan in Ling Xiaoxiao's pocket, and then took her luggage to the train station.

As soon as Ling Ma left, Ling Xiaoxiao saw that it was still early, so she planned to go to the bookstore again.When they arrived at the entrance of the guest house, the aunt who checked them in in the morning was sitting next to the door heater and reading the newspaper. Seeing Ling Xiaoxiao coming down, she warmly greeted her: "Little girl, I've heard what your mother said, don't worry, auntie is on duty tonight. Be sure to lock the door tightly, so you can rest assured and sleep well, ah!"

The simple words warmed Ling Xiaoxiao's heart. Looking at the crow's feet in the corners of the aunt's eyes, she began to feel cute. She walked over quickly and said with a smile, "Thank you, auntie. I can rest assured that you are with me. I won't be afraid."

"Don't worry, we have a very good law and order in Bincheng, and besides, the police station is in front of our Petroleum Guest House, and the punks don't dare to come here to make trouble." The aunt said very proudly: "Little girl, you are going out again ?”

"I want to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some books again. It's not easy to come here again. I plan to buy more suitable books to take back." Ling Xiaoxiao stood there and replied politely.

"Then hurry up, the bookstore closes at five o'clock, and it closes early in winter, you come back after closing the door, and you should pay more attention to your safety when it gets dark early." The aunt explained to Ling Xiaoxiao enthusiastically, Ling Xiaoxiao obediently Nodding and saying that he must come back before dark, he pushed the door and went out.
