No regrets ninety-two

Chapter 176 The World of Books (45)

Bookstores are a popular place to be.

This bookstore named "Aiwan Pavilion" is run by a fat middle-aged woman.

Wu Xiaozheng still remembered that he heard that the woman's husband worked in Xinhua Bookstore, and that his family had this old-style small building in front of No. [-] Middle School, so he turned it into a bookstore.

The fat proprietress is very hardworking.

Every morning, when the students have just finished their morning reading class, the door is already open, and the closing time will last until ten o'clock in the evening, after the students of No. [-] Middle and High School finish their evening self-study and leave.

The reason why the fat proprietress is so diligent is entirely because of the needs of the students.

Because students who come here rent more books than buy books, and renting books is priced by the day, and the rent price varies from a few cents per day, depending on the book price, the thickness and popularity of the book, such as martial arts novels and Qiong Yao novels. The rental price is relatively higher because there are many people watching.

Wu Xiaozheng turned over the bookshelf on the second floor.

Zhang Ying followed curiously, wanting to see what book this kid wanted to read, but found that he went straight to martial arts novels at first.

"I'm going to use my middle school days to read martial arts novels, Qiong Yao's novels, Xi Shu's, Wang Shuo's, all of these novels!" Wu Xiaozheng said hesitantly.

Zhang Ying was dumbfounded.

"My God, are you here to go to school, or to read novels?"

Zhang Ying didn't say a word.

This kid wants to read Qiong Yao's novels!
Now that he can provoke women like this, if he reads all the novels he said again, how many women will he have to provoke?Would a woman have no secrets at all in front of him?

Wu Xiaozheng continued to drag: "The school's courses, I can take the first place in the exam after just flipping through the book."

Zhang Ying has nothing to say.

From her point of view, with this kid's level of enchantment, it is very likely that this sentence is really not a bragging.

Wu Xiaozheng didn't stay in martial arts novels for long.

In fact, in his previous life, he had read most of these martial arts novels, but he didn't remember many of them deeply.

As a martial arts practitioner, it is impossible not to read the books of the four masters of martial arts novels, Jin Daxia, Liang Daxia, Gu Daxia, and Wen Daxia.

There are rivers and lakes in the book, there is society in the book, and there is truth in the book.

This has always been Wu Xiaozheng's opinion.

Now that I have read it, the review of martial arts novels should naturally be put at the end. There are still too many books that Wu Xiaozheng has not read.

He wasn't in a hurry to start romance novels either.

Although he said that he would also read romance novels, he always felt that the world constructed by romance novels was too fairy tale and beautiful, and there was a big gap with reality, so he didn't rush to start.

Then he could read Wang Shuo's book.

In this era, if you want to ask what book is the most popular, Wang Shuo's book must occupy a place.

Wang Shuo is a controversial figure.

Although his books are liked by many people, he is still known as a "bad critic in the literary world", and his works are also called "ruffian literature".

On the other hand, some people call Wang Shuo a representative of the "New Beijing School".

But those who like his books don't care about these comments. In their opinion, Wang Shuo's books are catchy in language, vivid in characters, have a special "poverty" flavor, and are very close to life.

Therefore, among the students, Wang Shuo's book is very popular.

Here, Wu Xiaozheng saw a series of books by Wang Shuo, such as "Half Flame and Half Sea Water", "No Seriousness", "Playing with Heartbeat", "Don't Treat Me as a Human", "Never Lose Me" Love", "I Am Your Dad", "Fresh Animals" and so on.

Wu Xiaozheng remembers that many of these books have been adapted into film and television dramas.

These books are a must read!

But Wu Xiaozheng still didn't take it lightly, he continued to look forward.

Then he saw Lu Yao's "The Ordinary World", which was the winning work of the Mao Dun Literature Award in 1991, and it was also a book that received rave reviews many years later.

In his previous life, Wu Xiaozheng had tried it.But at that time, he was either busy with business, or was forced by Zhong Xiaolan to take care of the child, so he really didn't pay much attention to it.

This is also a pity.

That's it!

This is a book worth reading carefully.

When I start reading again in this life, I naturally have to pick a book with a little connotation first.

Seeing that he chose this set of books, Zhang Ying was a little relieved. She really didn't want him to read too many romance novels.

Wu Xiaozheng flipped over.

This set of "The Ordinary World" has three volumes in total, which are the 88 and 89 editions of the China Federation of Literary and Art Publishing Company, and they are also hardcover.

He looked at the prices again. The first and second parts were both 4.95 yuan, and the third part was 8.85 yuan. The total amount of the whole set was less than 20 yuan.

If you rent this set of books, it is better to buy it!
If you rent it, you may not be able to finish watching it in three to five days.Moreover, this kind of book has the value of collection!

So he just went downstairs with the book in his arms.

The fat proprietress waited at the door on the first floor to take charge of the charges, and a young girl was hired upstairs to look after her.

"Miss Boss, is this set of books for sale?"

"Have."

The proprietress stood up directly and went to fetch books for Wu Xiaozheng.

Since his husband works at Xinhua Bookstore, it is natural to know what books sell well, and there is no shortage of such bestsellers.

The proprietress took more than just this set of books.

"There is also a copy of Huo Da's "The Funeral of ***", which was also the winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award last year. Do you want it?"

The fat proprietress really knows how to do business!
It seems that there is a way to be familiar with any line of work. At least the fat proprietress can find out the selling point of the Mao Dun Literature Award-winning works from the book "Ordinary World", and recommend another book.

As far as she is concerned, Wu Xiaozheng has to buy it.

Wu Xiaozheng has also heard of this book, and it is said to be a very controversial book.

Those who approve of it say that this book has written the true meaning and cruelty of love, and those who don't like it say that its three views are not correct...

Anyway, compared with the rave reviews of "Ordinary World", this book has mixed reviews.

However, in Wu Xiaozheng’s opinion, one should read books with a critical eye, accept good ones, discard bad ones, and seek common ground while reserving differences is the correct way to read books.

So he also planned to read this book carefully.

Since he was able to win the award, he naturally has his own reasons for winning the award. Wu Xiaozheng will not affect his reading of this book because of the bad reviews from later generations.

He picked it up and saw that it was the 91 edition of BJ October Literature and Art Publishing House, and it was also a hardcover edition.

The price is expensive, 14.9 yuan for a copy, because the book is 750 pages thick.

After paying the money, Wu Xiaozheng and Zhang Ying went out again.

He can only stay with Zhang Ying for a while tonight.

"You really like reading so much?"

"Well, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is also a golden house in the book."

A classic sentence borrowed by Wu Xiaozheng aroused Zhang Ying's thinking.

This kid understands the world and the human heart so well, could it be that he learned it from books?

Zhang Ying also became interested in these books in Wu Xiaozheng's hands.
