Chapter 325 Tang Xiaotang's Bookstore
"A mechanical steering gear must be turned by brute force. I wonder if there is an auxiliary device that can make steering easier..."
Gu Xiaoran was talking to herself, but Qiu Huoming's heart was moved. He turned his head to look at the girl next to him who was still talking nonstop, and admiration arose in his heart.
This girl should just pursue a career, she definitely has a good brain.
He listened very carefully. Gu Xiaoran was probably too excited to hold it in, so she told him all her ideas in one breath.
After speaking until his mouth was dry, Gu Xiaoran finally finished speaking. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and looked at Qiu Huoming and asked, "Huozi, what do you think of my idea?"
Qiu Huoming nodded, "Your idea is right. In fact, Sakura Country is already developing hydraulic devices for use in cars. I estimate that a prototype will appear in the next one or two years. If you are engaged in research and development, you must hurry up. I will give you another idea, electronic hydraulics..."
Qiu Huoming explained in detail the idea of electronic hydraulic equipment in his mind. It would be bad to take a big step. It would be better to talk about electronic power steering later. Maybe when Gu Xiaoran is working on electronic hydraulics, he can learn from it and break through the existing technical barriers...
The man scratched the back of his head, confused, "This..."
This person still has a childish heart and focuses on surprising people.
Qiu Huoming shook his head. "This guy is probably still single. He said he was going to come to Beijing this year. He has no chance of becoming the cultural and arts committee member..."
"Well, but there may be variables. I will just go with the flow..." Qiu Huoming did a stretching exercise on the spot.
Gu Xiaoran slapped him on the shoulder and said, "You are really climbing up the pole!"
Speaking of museums, Qiu Huoming was actually excited. The museum is now self-funded. They are a bunch of cultural people, and they have never experienced such a life. Later, they started to sell the collection at a discount...
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Long hair is gentle, short hair is lively, both look good."
Qiu Huoming stood up in a flash, "Okay, Miss Gu, you lead the way, I'll cover you..."
"Thanks, Xiaoran, is he your boyfriend?" Xiao Tang asked with a smile while holding Gu Xiaoran's arm.
Qiu Huoming asked back.
Qiu Huoming nodded, "Okay, it will definitely be lively with Fatty here."
"Xiao Tang!" Gu Xiaoran said in surprise. She pushed Qiu Huoming and said, "Huozi, help carry the book."
This time Gu Xiaoran also became curious. She walked out of the yard, took a few steps back, and stood side by side with Tang Xiaotang.
He recounted the story of the group of people he met during this trip.
"Let's go, lady." Qiu Huoming used his five fingers to comb his growing hair.
Qiu Huoming touched the ends of his hair. There were other customers in the bookstore. Someone laughed at him, "Don't brag about hurting your back. We don't have anything else in Beijing. We are top students. One brick can hit two people..."
The two got on the bus and found that several people got off at the back, leaving two empty seats, one in front and one behind.
Qiu Huoming spread his hands and said, "That's it, mediocre people are not welcome here."
"Of course, we are the Three Musketeers!" Qiu Huoming put his hands in his pockets. The village no longer looked like a village, but more like an urban-rural fringe area. The leaves of the big trees still had some tender green, which was completely different from the desolate winter.
"Of course not. I told him straight that I would go abroad in the future. Family life is not suitable for me. When I thought about being like my mother in the future, I suddenly became sober. No matter how good the person is, he is not worth it..." Gu Xiaoran shook his head and put the idea of love behind him.
"That's fine. You're still young anyway. Even if you return home after completing your studies, you'll be less than 30 years old. Do whatever you want. It's worth it if you can find your own value..." Qiu Huoming said with a smile.
The two got out of the car. They were not going to the park this time. The bookstore was located in a nearby village. Some people who came to the city to make a living liked to live in villages near the city because the rent was cheap, which was many times more cost-effective than staying in a guesthouse.
"Zhang Sulin brought me here. I don't know where this guy got the information from, so he bought a few books and came to see me. I was excited about the opportunity, so he brought me here..." Gu Xiaoran smiled and said, "This guy has improved and knows how to please others..."
The two of them simply ran away.
"Tsk, didn't she say it, a nerd! What does a nerd mean? She can't even recognize those words..." The man was still talking nonsense.
Qiu Huoming exhaled and read out the words on the door plaque clearly, "No mediocre people are allowed to enter."
"Boss, you are telling lies too!" the man said indignantly.
Gu Xiaoran turned around and introduced Qiu Huoming unhappily, "This girl is the owner of this bookstore. Her name is Tang Xiaotang. The name is a bit sloppy, but it sounds nice..."
Tang Xiaotang walked to the door with a smile. She looked at Qiu Huoming with clear eyes and said, "You come and explain."
In the distance, the bus was already wobbling towards them.
Tang Xiaotang suddenly straightened up and clapped her hands. "I really didn't expect that after a year of opening this bookstore, someone would finally be able to pronounce the name of the store correctly."
The man walked out quickly and looked up. "Outside the door."
Gu Xiaoran probably felt it too. She turned her head and looked at Qiu Huoming with a bit of loneliness in her eyes. "When Fatty comes, we'll take another ride..."
These days, the cultural industry is worthless, and the poor and lower-middle peasants and workers are the backbone.
The characters are indeed written in a very graceful and graceful style, and cannot be more concise.
Qiu Huoming was stunned when he heard this. He was thinking from the perspective of a prophet and never thought about how much ideological impact his kind of prophecy would bring to the indigenous people of this world.
"Okay, then I'll tell you..."
Xiao Tang struggled to free herself, turned her head away, and said to Gu Xiaoran with a smile: "I'm just saying this to you, I won't tell anyone else..."
"Variables? You are usually very confident. When you say variables, something must have happened. Tell me about it?" Gu Xiaoran asked curiously.
"Xiaoran, don't you plan to find a partner?" Qiu Huoming asked.
"I believe this, but how did you know about such a remote place?" Qiu Huoming asked.
While they were talking, they had already reached the door.
Gu Xiaoran pricked up his ears and wrote down every word Qiu Huoming said.
This little Tang is quite strong, Qiu Huoming carried the book and let her walk in front.
The man in the store yelled again, "Yes, just four words..."
After Gu Xiaoran finished reading, his eyes were slightly dull, "Huozi, I suddenly..."
At this moment, the two of them had already walked to the platform. Perhaps the students were still in class, and there were only two or three people waiting for the bus at this station.
Tang Xiaotang turned to Qiu Huoming, "You are the only one who pronounced the name of the store correctly, so..."
"How could they be better than you? What's wrong with you? Not only are you good-looking, but you're all just as smart. It's so infuriating..."
"Is that what you told me last time?" Gu Xiaoran asked.
Gu Xiaoran tucked her loose bangs behind her ears and walked along the street towards the bus stop. "Hey, Huozi, do you think I look better with short hair or long hair?"
"Sloppy? How is it sloppy? It has artistic conception and is cute!" Tang Xiaotang was unhappy and started to argue.
"Do you see that festive yard in front? It's right there. That wooden sign was written by a professor from Peking University. The handwriting is so fancy that it's basically incomprehensible..." Gu Xiaoran said, pointing to a farmyard not far ahead.
"Huozi, you know, among the people around me, you are the only one who understands me. However, Fatty may also understand me..." Gu Xiaoran loosened his scarf, "I never thought that my trip to the county town would be the most correct decision I made..."
Gu Xiaoran followed Tang Xiaotang and introduced her, "His name is Qiu Huoming, and he is my high school classmate. Don't underestimate this guy. He is the top student in our school and is much better than me..."
"Fatty has made it big." Gu Xiaoran put his hands in his pockets, his short hair fluttering in the wind, his figure was thin, and his scarf was tied loosely around his neck. He exuded an artistic air.
Tang Xiaotang took a few steps back and asked with a smile, "Look at this gate..."
"Then I'll have to take a closer look. I'm well-read and can definitely answer your questions. It's just a few words..."
Gu Xiaoran also stood up. She brushed off the non-existent dust on the back of her coat and said, "...I know there's a second-hand bookstore in Beihai Park. There are many good books...Follow me and I'll take you to the museum..."
The man inside laughed even harder, "You're just talking nonsense. It's only four words, but you read five..."
Gu Xiaoran was also curious and asked, "Tell me, how come he is right?"
The door was open. Tang Xiaotang said, "We are not thieves-proof here. If you want to steal, don't steal. But if you can steal and read books, it's a great achievement..."
"I heard that Fatty also has someone he likes, and she's the cultural and arts committee member..." Gu Xiaoran sighed, "I didn't expect that he already has someone."
"That's a good idea. I might have to go first. If nothing goes wrong this month, I will go to the beautiful country with the inspection team..."
Tang Xiaotang scolded: "What did they say? You said they were bragging!"
He said in a gentle tone, "After all, it is your words that gave me inspiration."
"Well, it's very long, almost reaching the waist..." Qiu Huoming said after thinking for a while.
Qiu Huoming glanced at her, "Is there any hope for him?"
Qiu Huoming smiled. There was no trick here, because this person wrote the last word directly on the gate of the courtyard.
Qiu Huoming turned around and saw a playful girl, about 20 years old, walking towards them on the fork in the road. She was holding two piles of books tied with hemp ropes in her hands, sweat was dripping from her forehead, and she was only two steps away from them.
"Okay." Seeing that they knew each other, Qiu Huoming responded and walked forward to take the book from Xiao Tang's hand. His fingertips suddenly sank.
Gu Xiaoran rolled his eyes at him and said, "Forget it, just assume that what you said is true. Does your girlfriend have long hair?"
He touched the back of his head and squeezed out a sentence after a long time, "You are the smartest piece of shit I have ever seen..."
"As long as the hoe is used well, there will be no corners..." Before Xiao Tang could finish her words, Gu Xiaoran covered her mouth with his hand, "I'm dying, you, a grown woman, say such things!"
Less than an hour later, the bus finally shook and stopped next to the Beihai Park bus stop.
Qiu Huoming simply took out a pen and paper from his backpack and drew the blueprint that the two of them had just imagined.
"It says on the plaque that mediocre people are not allowed to enter..."
Gu Xiaoran rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense, we are just classmates, he has a girlfriend!"
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her expression, Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Actually, I have read science fiction books, and I went to Hong Kong a while ago and saw a lot of the most advanced vehicles. That's why I came up with these ideas. It's different from your closed-door thinking. You are really smart. You can think of this. I was enlightened by you. Combined with what I saw before, I came up with these drawings..."
"We're lucky." Gu Xiaoran excitedly pulled Qiu Huoming inside, one sitting in front of the other. Both seats were by the window, Gu Xiaoran sat in the front and Qiu Huoming sat in the back. It was vaguely like the situation they had in the classroom.
"Is this plaque hung inside the door? Or outside the door?"
After he put the book in his hand in, he walked out again and looked at the plaque on the gate.
She smiled with her eyebrows curved, and her former liveliness was restored a little. "No matter how the world sees me, your support is very important to me!"
Although the management of foreign population was extremely strict at that time, it still could not stop those people from heading north.
Gu Xiaoran shook his head without hesitation. "No, that's too childish. Learning makes me happy, and my time is very precious. I tell you, I will probably go abroad. I will first see the advanced technology abroad, and then return to serve the motherland after I finish my studies..."
There are wild flowers blooming wantonly, and one can sense the appearance of a village. There is an old cow tied under a tree nearby...
Qiu Huoming praised: "Boss Tang is indeed a man of character."
Qiu Huoming glanced at her and said, "Okay, I'll tell you..."
She looked at Qiu Huoming helplessly and said, "I suddenly feel like a waste..."
The wind was strong in Beijing, but the two of them didn't care. When they ran to the school gate, their cheeks were already flushed. They stood under an old tree outside the gate, looked at each other, and laughed uncontrollably.
Gu Xiaoran smiled and said, "Come on, come on, Huozi, when you are being modest, it makes me want to beat you up even more. Let's go. I don't want to go to class today. Let's skip school..."
Then it dawned on me, “So that’s how it is.”
"Don't think that this is a rural area. Maybe a very learned professor lives in that farmyard..." Gu Xiaoran led the way and introduced.
"Puchi" a girl's laughter came from behind the two of them.
Tang Xiaotang asked in the inner room with a smile: "Young man who is very knowledgeable, please tell me how to pronounce these words?"
After Qiu Huoming finished speaking, she began to ask questions.
The two of them went downstairs and just as they reached the door, the bell rang. Gu Xiaoran quickened his pace, "Don't let the teacher catch you. Hurry up, Huozi."
"Buy books for free?" Qiu Huoming asked expectantly.
Tang Xiaotang smiled and said, "So, I'll give you a 20% discount on the book you bought..."
