Chapter 23 Buying Books

There were many people visiting here on weekends. Ling's mother went to buy two tickets. When she arrived at the door, she handed the ticket to the staff and then squeezed in through the small door beside her. The interior of the cathedral was extremely gorgeous and magnificent. Ling Xiaoxiao looked at her with a stunned look on her mouth. She found that her barren language could not describe this luxury at all.

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

Walking through the long corridor in the church, you can 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, and tourists can read it themselves.

"Dabaoer, it's so beautiful here." Ling Ma held Ling Xiaoxiao's hand, and only this sentence was left in her mouth.

"It's so beautiful." Ling Xiaoxiao looked at everything in front of her. It's really good that she must come here once. It's really different. She will have to visit more churches in Europe if she has the chance in the future.

The mother and mother walked in and out of the church and the expanded vice building, and then walked out with unsatisfactory feelings. When they passed by, Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that the back of the past was very familiar. She looked back and found that the other party had already walked into the church.

"Zi Zhuo, what's wrong?" Yue Pingjun suddenly stopped and asked in confusion when he saw his friend.

"It's okay, let's go." Gao Ting's handsome young man stepped in and walked in.

If Ling Xiaoxiao heard this voice, she would definitely recognize that this was the voice that had made her dream of, but it was slightly more immature than she remembered, and it was the low and hoarseness that was unique to adolescent teenagers.

After leaving the church, the mother and daughter were already hungry. There were many time-honored restaurants on the pedestrian street, but the prices were not cheap. The mother and daughter walked back to the guesthouse and found a small noodle restaurant and each had a bowl of ramen. Ling's mother's train was five o'clock in the afternoon, and after dinner, she accompanied Ling Xiaoxiao to the bookstore.

The Xinhua Bookstore in Bincheng is very large, with a total of five floors and a total of six floors. There are several provincial publishing houses above the sixth floor. The first floor is mainly a part of social science books and bestsellers, and chicken soup literature accounts for the majority of bestsellers. Ling Xiaoxiao feels strong in her heart and doesn’t need to drink soup, so she took Ling’s mother to the third floor directly.

The third floor is teaching aids and professional books. Ling Xiaoxiao directly found the third grade area of ​​junior high school according to the instructions. The area of ​​books in the third grade of junior high school is equivalent to the Xinhua Bookstore in their county.

Science tutoring books are the focus of this book purchase. She was going to look little by little along one side of the bookshelf. A series of tutoring books were placed on a promotional table next to the bookshelf, with each subject in high school entrance examination. The poster next to it was written in exaggerated font: Special tutoring materials for Bincheng No. 8 Middle School.

Ling Xiaoxiao was interested and picked up a math tutoring book and opened it. Now the exercises are explained in detail, and typical questions will be accompanied by problem-solving ideas and scattered thinking tips. This tutoring book is very good!

After putting down the math tutoring, she picked up a physics tutoring and read it. The explanation method is as detailed as math tutoring and clear in ideas. When they look at the stressful special projects they are struggling with, they all have the types of questions in their homework, and typical exercises provide detailed problem-solving processes and special explanations, which are easier to understand than what Lao Gao told them in class.

What she wanted was such a tutoring book! Ling Xiaoxiao was so excited when she hugged the book. With this set of tutoring book, she believed that she would definitely improve significantly in the next two unified examinations.

The educational resources in the provincial capital are much richer than those in their county. If the county’s middle schools can also use such tutoring books to provide special tutoring for junior high school thirds, then the county’s high school entrance examination results will definitely not be that far from the junior high school of the three major high schools.

Ling Xiaoxiao picked up three sets of tutoring books and put them in the basket. She originally thought it would take a long time to find books, but she didn't expect that she would complete the main task as soon as she came up. Next, she had a lot of time to choose literary books and original English documents.

When Ling's mother saw her daughter picking up books so quickly, she couldn't help but grin. Since her daughter had an appendicitis surgery during the summer vacation, she had changed her body, getting up, running, cooking, reading books every day, and being self-disciplined. Now whenever her neighbors saw her, she praised her daughter for being sensible, which made her feel proud. Now her daughter is so concerned about studying, and if she can really get into Bincheng No. 8 Middle School, she and her father will be happy to wake up in their dreams.

The original English textbooks are more difficult to choose than Ling Xiaoxiao imagined. Most of the original textbooks have complex sentence patterns, mixed with slang, and a large vocabulary. She has poor English foundation and has read many books but she can't even read the introduction of the preface.

I picked up the left and right and finally picked out an original English novel. After seeing it, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. It was time to take my mother Ling back to the guesthouse to take her luggage to the train station.

Ling's mother settled the books she had picked at the cashier. The prices of these sets of tutoring books were not low, and she used the three Datongjies of Ling's mother. However, she didn't feel sorry for her. She made money and spent it for her daughter. She found a plastic rope to tie the books and then carried the books and took Ling Xiaoxiao all the way back to the guesthouse.

Ling's mother was particularly worried that Ling Xiaoxiao lived here alone. She repeatedly told her to do it carefully, and stuffed two hundred yuan into Ling Xiaoxiao's pocket, then she took her luggage to the train station.

As soon as Ling Xiaoxiao left, she was about to go to the bookstore when she saw it was still early. When she arrived at the door of the guesthouse, the aunt who checked in for them in the morning was sitting by the door and reading the newspaper. When she saw Ling Xiaoxiao coming down to say hello warmly: "Little girl, I heard your mother say that, don't worry, aunt will lock the door tightly tonight, so you can sleep well with confidence, ah!"

The simple words made Ling Xiaoxiao feel warm. She looked at the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and began to feel cute. She walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Thank you, auntie, I don't worry, I won't be afraid."

"Don't worry, our Bincheng has good security. Besides, there is a police station in front of our oil guesthouse, and the gangsters dare not come here to make trouble." The aunt said proudly: "Little girl, are you going out again?"

"I want to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some books. It's not easy to come here once. I'm going to buy more suitable books to bring them back." Ling Xiaoxiao stood there and answered politely.
Chapter completed!
