Pearl walked into the spacious and tall Xinhua Bookstore a little hesitantly.

To be honest, after she graduated from high school and stopped going to school, she never stepped through the door of a bookstore again.

There are a few books at home, but aren’t those pirated copies bought randomly from street stalls?

Moreover, if you have nothing to do, what kind of hobbies and pastimes are you doing? Isn’t the farm work at home heavy? With parents like her, she gets up early and works hard every day just to save more money, so that she can have a say, so that her parents will not give up everything just for three melons and two jujubes.

Marry yourself.

It took ten years to finally marry Dacheng, and the sadness of it cannot be described in detail. But after getting married, I was still under a lot of pressure, my younger brothers and sisters were all in school, the family was in debt, and my father-in-law was in poor health...

In short, life seems to be in hard mode all the time.

In this case, hobbies and leisure are luxuries.

…

But now, the high-spirited Pearl has forgotten the previous hardships and hardships. She always feels that life is getting better day by day, and the future is becoming more and more hopeful.

She has already discussed with Dacheng that she will return to the village at the end of the year and pay off all her debts. Then she will bring her parents to the imperial capital and live in this big courtyard. There are so many rooms anyway, so they can be separated by the end of the year.

And his own son.

As a mother, how can you not want to have children?

Sometimes when I make a phone call, I feel like I hear my son crying on the other end. The child is weak and the conditions in the village are not good. They have been working in the imperial capital for only half a year, and their son has been admitted to the clinic twice.

It's not a big problem, but the smaller the problem is, the more worried she will be as a mother - if she hadn't been born prematurely...

Fortunately, her father-in-law and mother-in-law took care of the children, and Pearl felt relieved.

…

She sits and works with a group of aunts and ladies in the imperial capital every day, and knows a lot of news.

Especially I have more ideas about the quality of teaching. My younger brother Xiaohai is almost in the third grade of junior high school now.

Pearl thought, even if her grades were good, what would happen if she became the best in their small place and became a phoenix? Maybe she would not be among the top ten in the class if she really went to a big city to take the exam.

Therefore, Pearl also had the idea to bring her little brother over. Now they can make money. At worst, they can enroll in two cram schools so that their children can go to school well.

This younger brother is much more considerate than Lu Li.

Pearl had some things to say. She would rather throw all her money at Lu Hai than spend a dime on Lu Li.

Of course, she doesn't care if the parents-in-law save their own money.

She has been living such a comfortable life, but she will not imitate others and make herself uncomfortable by looking for trouble.

…

Another point is that the old Lu family doesn't know what's going on, but they feel that the children have a bright future in their studies.

Let’s talk about Dacheng. Who in the past ten miles and eight towns did as well as he did in the exam?

If not...

Besides, even if Lu Li and Pearl don't like each other anymore, their achievements are real.

For example, if students in poor areas are admitted with lower scores, then the scores will be lowered. Where is the base number?

And my younger brother Lu Hai is now going to school in the town, and his grades are among the best.

She was also holding back her anger.

——Didn’t my sister-in-law say that her brother’s grades were nothing special? Wasn’t he always proud that he was admitted to the University of Ming Dynasty?

She tried her best to cultivate Xiaohai no matter what!

If you go to college and show your ability, who do you look down on?

As a rural girl, she only washes clothes and brushes shoes at home. What else does she do? Xiaohai knows how to help in the fields at such a young age, so she is too embarrassed to be an older sister.

Of course.

She would not say this to Dacheng's face. Even if they were not siblings, Pearl would secretly mutter in her heart.

snort!

…

The first floor of the bookstore is filled with teaching materials, and the second floor is filled with various novels and magazines. Pearl slowly walked upstairs and found many people sitting on the steps.

Almost everyone was holding a book and reading attentively.

Pearl knew that in a large bookstore like Imperial City, there would be no clerks from morning to night, so she became even more careful not to disturb the customers who were reading around her.

Look at the sign again and go directly to the magazine area.

It is indeed a big bookstore. It has all kinds of magazines and takes up three shelves.

Pearl was picking through the sections of decoration magazines, reading this one or that one, but she didn't know which one to buy at the moment.

Seeing that the pictures printed on the coated paper were so beautiful, she couldn't help but fantasize about her future house... Now she just gritted her teeth and picked up five copies.

What do you do to make money? Don’t you have to be able to spend it when you make money?

She searched around and picked out a book that taught how to make home-cooked meals.

There are several ways to make buns and dumplings, including wrapping the dumplings into hedgehogs and wrapping the buns into gourds.

This pearl is really not good at it.

No wonder everyone talks about reading more.

She quickly hugged the magazine in her arms, turned around again, and almost bumped into the young man reading next to her, so she quickly turned sideways.

Seeing the young man frowning, he was not affected at all at the moment and was concentrating on a magazine in his hand.

"youth"

Pearl gradually put down the "Reader" in her hand.

This, this magazine is read so seriously, it must be very interesting, right?

She dug through it twice and found that a story could be serialized for many issues, and it was hard to choose any one at the moment... You couldn't just buy it from the first issue, right?

Even if she wanted to buy it, this bookstore didn’t have it.

But if you read it half-heartedly, she won’t be able to adapt to it at all, as she has never followed the series.

While he was flipping around and hesitating, two girls suddenly came over. Seeing him looking everywhere, they quickly lowered their voices and asked:

"Sister, which issue of the magazine are you looking for?"

"ah……"

Pearl was a little embarrassed, her cheeks slightly red: "I...I just..."

The girl looked at her and smiled thoughtfully at this moment: "Do you want to read the book "The Best Sister-in-law"? I have read every issue. Which story do you want to read? I will tell you which issue it is in.

Yeah? If you haven’t read it, you can start from the March issue.”

The girls were a little extra enthusiastic. Pearl didn't know that this was the excitement of the readers who followed the series and found the same people, nor did she know that it was the sense of joy that being successful in Amway brought to people.

The other party thought for a while, then suddenly smiled evilly and took out another pink magazine from the side of the bookshelf.

"Sister, if you really like reading, I suggest you hold this magazine and compare the two. It's very interesting!"

If it wasn't for this reason, who would be willing to spend money to buy this hot chick "Girls"?

…

Pearl opened it and took a look - it cost five yuan a copy!

From March to now, it would cost dozens of dollars... She was inevitably hesitant.

"It doesn't matter."

Seemingly sensing her mood, the other party said: "Back issues of the magazine are available at a discount and don't cost much, but Xiao Bailian's story is really well written. You must read it!"

One of them was holding a copy of "The Floating World" in their hands: "If you can, you can even start from her first serialization in October last year."

It's a pity that there are only this year's journals on the bookshelf now.

Pearl also breathed a sigh of relief - she really wanted to buy it from last year, but she couldn't bear to part with so many copies.

The two girls were talking about sex, and now the plot was revealed. Pearl was holding a lot of books and felt dizzy.

It took me a long time to walk to the cashier in confusion.

When she checked out, she found that she had taken ten copies of the expired magazines. Five copies of "Youth" and five copies of "Girls". Fortunately, after the discount, she only spent thirty yuan, which made her feel a little better.

so far so good……

In contrast, Dacheng's decoration magazines are more expensive.

A copy costs nineteen yuan, but after looking at the pictures of coated paper and various introductions inside, Pearl gritted her teeth and paid the price.

I went out to the bookstore and easily lost one or two hundred yuan.

When she walked out, Pearl couldn't help but shake her head: No wonder everyone said that studying costs money.

Fortunately, there weren't many tutoring materials in Xiaocheng, otherwise she couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she looked at the densely packed tutoring materials on the first floor.
