Rebirth Flowers Like Water

Staring at [her eyelashes] darkened profile picture, Sheng Tang was still a little unresponsive: This little sister-in-law's movements are quick enough!

However, from her few words, Sheng Tang still found inexplicable comfort. For example, as long as Tang Xiusi performed normally, it should be a certainty to apply for Han University next year.

In addition, although Tang Xiusi has many suitors, she only focuses on studying and will not be distracted at all.

Sheng Tang still believed in this point, because when he met Tang Xiusi in his previous life, the two finally came together because they had something in common, such as love of learning, graduate school, and not having a relationship.

After quitting QQ, Sheng Tang began to think about developing programs.

However, doing research and development in a place like an Internet cafe, no matter the hardware or software, is scary and harsh. Before starting, Sheng Tang felt that he had to buy a USB flash drive first.

Otherwise, after working for a long time, turn off the phone at the last moment and finish the game directly.

After getting off the plane, Sheng Tang stood up.

Li Xiaoshuai's screen is divided into two, on the left is Alec Su and Alyssa Chia's version of "Yi Tian Shou Long Ji", on the right is Song Wenwen's chat dialog box, watching TV while typing, bouncing back and forth on the recliner, enjoying it endlessly.

He was chatting, when he suddenly saw Sheng Tang get up, quickly took off his earphones and asked, "Boss, why aren't you on?"

Sheng Tang patted him on the shoulder: "I'm going to buy something, you just keep going, and I'll come back to you when I'm done."

When Li Xiaoshuai heard this, he felt relieved, he was chatting with Song Wenwen in full swing, wishing he could live in an Internet cafe, why would he want to leave?

Sheng Tang glanced at Li Xiaoshuai who was lying on the keyboard practicing One Finger Zen again, and felt that this was youth, pure and beautiful.

In another 20 years, who still has this kind of patience? This way of communication will become such that you don’t even know your name, so you’ll just drag them to a hotel to discuss the blocked content set by the genuine website.

In contrast, one loses his mind and the other loses his kidneys. Everyone gets what they need. In fact, it’s just like that when you think about it.

……

The commercial street of Changqiu University City is distributed in a long strip in the north-south direction, with a row of two-story buildings in the east and west, and densely packed businesses gather here. <The capacity of the USB flash drive, this memory is not even comparable to the running memory of the mobile phone in 2021, but in 2003, it is already very large.

Next to the electronics store was a bookstore. Sheng Tang thought about it and walked in. Five minutes later, Sheng Tang left this bookstore and went to another bookstore. I visited all the five or six bookstores on the Internet.

These bookstores should have unified agents, and most of the materials that are commonly used by college students such as postgraduate entrance examinations or public examinations are sold are pirated, including materials such as CET-[-] and CET-[-], politics for postgraduate entrance examinations, English, and public foundation for career editing.

There are also some books that are not pirated, such as professional materials.

In fact, this is easy to understand. Compared with public course materials such as CET-[-] or CET-[-] or postgraduate entrance examinations such as politics and English, the market for professional course books is not large, and the counterparts are very strong, and piracy is not profitable.

Moreover, Sheng Tang also discovered a phenomenon, because the university town has a long span, and the distribution of these bookstores is also very interesting. For example, at the northernmost end of the commercial street, the Qingfeng Bookstore near Han University sells all professional books for Han University. The bookstore opposite Handong Light Industry sells all engineering books, and the one next to Handong Medical College has the most medical books.

However, Sheng Tang figured it out very quickly. These bookstore owners all buy goods from an agent. It is estimated that they have discussed it a long time ago. One family of professional books is responsible for one school, while other public books are priced at the same price. As for whoever sells more Selling less, each according to its own ability.

In fact, this layout is also very reasonable. The postgraduate students rarely have time to go shopping. Even if they come to buy books, every second counts, so they only want to buy books nearby. It is very considerate that there are professional books they need in the nearby bookstores.

As for freshmen, freshmen and sophomores, they lack everything except time. They buy CET-[-] and CET-[-] or other public materials, and they are not afraid to run around too much.

……

After shopping around, Sheng Tang came to Qingfeng Bookstore which is the closest to Han University, just downstairs of Shenlan Internet Cafe, because it just rained, the store was very deserted, there was a man in his 40s with black-rimmed glasses sitting there. Sitting on the chair, with a cigarette in one hand and a copy of "Legend of Chu Liuxiang" in the other, he read it with gusto.

There is also a woman about his age in the room. She is slightly fatter, wearing a black apron, and is arranging the books on the shelves. She looks like a husband and wife with the man, and they should be a couple.

Just looking at the appearance, this combination of husband and wife stores is much more pleasing to the eye than the owner of the Han University Taoyuan Bookstore.

The middle-aged man just looked up at Sheng Tang, and found that he was a student with a green look in his brows and eyes. He didn't think it was strange. Maybe he felt that Sheng Tang stood at the door blocking his sight of reading, moved his body, and put your head down.

The fat woman put down the book in her hand and asked, "What books are you going to buy, may I look for it for you?"

"I don't buy books."

At this time, the middle-aged man's hand that was flipping through the book paused, took another puff of the cigarette butt, and then threw it on the ground reluctantly.

The fat woman was also a little curious: "Don't buy books? Then come here..."

Sheng Tang smiled: "I just want to ask, do you need part-time jobs for college students?"

"Oh~"

As if he had heard a joke, the middle-aged man laughed and lowered his head to read the book again.

The fat woman also smiled, pointing to the deserted bookstore: "Students can take a look, it's just a small store like ours, usually two people are a bit redundant here, so why recruit people?"

After speaking, he felt that Sheng Tang must be leaving, but he still stood at the door in a daze, and then took out a pack of cigarettes.

The middle-aged man who was about to lower his head to read a book, found that the light in front of him was even darker than before. When he looked up, he saw the student who looked like a freshman took a step towards him, and then took out a cigarette from the cigarette case very skillfully. Cigarettes, handed over.

The middle-aged man froze for a moment, but still reached out to take the cigarette.

With a sound of "click", the lighter in Sheng Tang's hand burst into flames.

The middle-aged man held the cigarette in his mouth and waited for him to light it, but Sheng Tang lit his own cigarette, and after puffing out his eyes comfortably, he put the lighter back into his trouser pocket, leaned against the door, and looked at the middle-aged man. The man is laughing.

It seems that he didn't want to light a cigarette for him in the first place.

"..."

This young man is interesting!

The middle-aged man took out the lighter and lit the cigarette, put away his previous casual attitude, squinted his eyes, and looked at Sheng Tang again.
